Thorix simply looks around the station, waiting completely still other than the occasional turn of his helmet.

Leopold pushes his way to the front of the crowd so he can speak to the guard directly. "The train is late, you say? 'Fliers' you say? What, like birds? If some birds are roosting by the tracks, they will most certainly clear away when the train comes at them. There shouldn't be any problem from birds- so why is there a problem from birds?" Leopold gives him a suspicious look, as he eyes him up and down.

Two Rolls:
...the guard blinks at you several times. "What are 'birds'?"* he finally asks. He then shakes his head and looks serious once more. "The problem is being dealt with handily. The guards can handle a few half-faces..." he bites his lip. Maybe he wasn't supposed to say that.

"Half-faces?" comes the repeated murmuring of the crowd.

"All right, all right, move along!"

Once you asked that question, the guard was obviously confused, but beforehand he was quite tense, mostly hidden beneath his armor but there was certainly something in the straining of his smile. Now, the worry has come to the surface with the stress of a misspoken word.

This man is somewhat worried.

You know that half-faces are creatures somewhat well-named; odd in shape and about the size of an adult human, these creatures of purple and yellow glide more than fly everywhere they go. They have a spiky-balled fixtures at the the end of a long, cordlike tail, and on their undersides they have a singular, giant eye, a gaping mouth of all teeth, no lips or tongue, and a pinprick of a hole. No one knows what the hole is for.

They don't usually tend to come near cities, is the puzzling thing. On the occasions they do, however, they have been known to attack people, so one could understand why the train would be delayed if the guards don't take care of the problem in...thirteen and one-half minutes now.

Also, they like cheddar cheese, apparently.

Regina looks up from her book and asks, "Does anyone have any cheddar cheese? Barring that I think maybe we could go see if the guards want any help. Or just get a look at some monsters not in a book."

"Well then, that was easily settled. Good to see we all do have sense when it comes to these things. At least some of the time anyway." Leopold turns back to the guard, prodding him with his walking stick once again. "We'll go clear up your swarm of monster birdies. Do NOT, under any circumstance, send that train along without us. And don't even begin to start about 'we have to keep a schedule', WE are ensuring the train leaves at all, the least you could do is wait a few extra minutes for us. Do you think that can happen without too much a fuss?"

Not that I expect he's the one who will ultimately make that decision, but worth a shot.
Persuasion: 7+10= 17 lame. I wonder if Sweet and Elite can do anything for us here.

The guard puts a hand to his chin. "I don't think so. You guys are civilians, and-"

"GAAAARGH!" comes a cry from a few dozen feet away.

"But, if you're willing to volunteer I see no reason to stop you," he amends hurriedly, stepping out of your way.




The party passes quickly through the railway station, dashing past worried-looking conductors and carriers and so-such. Eventually they reach the tracks and, with some hesitating for a moment, jump upon them, then turn towards the sound of battle. Another short run and everybody arrives, for lack of a better term, in the middle of the tunnel leading out of town.

The battlefield is already bloodied, several guards in leather armor bleeding but none (so far) looking dead. A pile of Half-Faces lies in the corner, and several more are scattered around haphazardly. Still, they outnumber what guards are there about three-to-one. It's odd that they'd be inside the tunnel like they are, but there's no denying the obvious evidence of their current method of existence.

One notices the party with its large green eye, and screeches almost as obnoxiously as its color scheme before swooping towards the party as a whole. Several of its brethren join it as the guards recover from the momentary surprise of seeing you all. "Run! You don't know what they're capable of!" one shouts.

One of the ugly purple and yellow beasts suddenly flies forwards at extremely high speeds...directly into the wall.

Well, almost. At the last second, the beast turns, lettings its teeth scrape out a large chunk of stone from the tunnel wall. It then loops around so its underside is facing upwards, turns its flight path toward the still-gathering party, and spits the chunk of stone into the air. Then, spinning into an upright postion in midair to gain momentum, it slams the spiky ball on the end of its tail into the rubble, sending it flying at Thorix's head, using the rest of its momentum to fly at Thorix itself, tailfirst.

Regina, having lagged behind the party a bit, mentally cursing her short little legs, catches up just as rocks start flying at Thorix and then stops for a few seconds to catch her breath and muster her strength.

Another of the beasts, at the same time Rixa does this, flies rapidly in circles around Leopold, throwing heavy amounts of dirt and debris into the air at the same time he scrapes his teeth (or attempts to) at Leopold's flesh.

Alice tried to keep calm. Focusing on the weird half faced creature in front of her, she focused all of her engergy into trying to bombard its mind with disorientating illusions. IT ended up taking more energy than she tought it would, but she was able to break though,filling their minds with bright lights and conflicting sensor images for a brief moment

The Half-Face targeted by Alice's attack falls to the ground, crying in pain.

Leopold stands completely still as the face bird showers him in dirt, talking a good hard look at it for weaknesses. When it attempts to bite him, he pops it cleanly with his walking stick and moves away.

Another of the Half-Faces darts forward from its formation, knocking into Regina's legs and making a valiant attempt at carrying her into the ceiling at high speeds.

Thorix simply takes the attack of the half face head on without so much as flinching. "I do not fear you, beast," he says as he assumes a defensive stance, shield held high.
