“Thank the Gods I know how to run in heels!” Bea says as she begins to sprint after the train. She reaches a hand out to Cora when she’s close enough and grabs on to her hand tightly.

"All aboard, gorgeous." Cora said, pulling her in closely with a snarky smile. "This train aint leavin without ya. Choo choo."

Willow swiftly grabs Athela's chair and books it after the others, making sure Athela got on board before her even if it meant her falling behind a little. Eventually the two would scramble their way onto the train, Athela's chair and all. 

Athela is probably the only person not panting as she helps her sister get the chair aboard. "All right, everyone on, come on." She reaches a hand out to grab Mia as the half-elf draws closer to the train.

"Dat wus close!  Everyone 'ere?"

As soon as she's safely on-board, Vignette will start searching around for Garra and his men (Investigation: 17).

Mia would take her turn after she sees Athela and Willow safe on board. She’d accept the hand held out for her, pulling herself up onto the train just in time.

Cargo car: You are here.

As you enter the cargo car, it's filled with..cargo. Boxes, suitcases, caged animals, you name it. A House Orien conductor, startled by your entry from the back, bravely asks for your ticket.

“Why of course, mister conductor sir!” Bea says calmly, taking out her purse. She rummages through it, her smiling face twisting into one of distress. “Oh no..” She looks up to the man with pleading eyes. “We were in such a rush to get on, I must’ve left them at the station...” She juts out her bottom lip in a pout, her piercing blue eyes locked onto his. “Surely you could let us go just this once?”

Persuasion: 16

Yup. That's a good roll.

"Alright, lass. Very well." the conductor says. "Move along, now. Go on."

In the next coach, an eight-foot-tall muscular woman with a tusked, protruding jaw lounges on a couch in a luxury passenger car. She reads the Sharn Inquisitive and has a battleaxe within arm’s reach. A wooden chest rests by her feet, and a table lined with fine foods and bottles of spirits stands close by. She slowly lowers the newspaper and eyes each of you.

"Well." she grunts. "Didn't think you guys would catch up to me. I don't feel bad for what I did, by the way. Is it time to dance? Perhaps you'll take a bribe? a hundred gold pieces to each of you to tell the Sharn Watch I got away. What do you say?" she offers.

Willow studies the woman for a moment,  fur beginning to inch it's way up her arms, her claws extending subtly as she waits for the others reactions, her fingers twitching slightly. 

Mia would walk over to the table lined with foods, helping herself to some. She'd look the woman up and down. "Each you say?" the halfelf would activate her detect magic sense and look to her companions. "That's a lot of gold ladies." She was just stalling. For the food? For detecting what's in the box? Or for Willow to make a move? We can't say for sure...

Cora would side glance at Bea. "That's a lot of dances. And, maybe, more.." she purred. She did, however, keep one hand on her blades. Just in case.

Athela smiles. "Tempting," she says cooly, examining the tusked woman.

Is she really gonna let us get away?: 7

Vignette: "I'd say that'd be doin' a deal wi' de devil...no tanks."

Grabbing a particular tasty morsel of food off of the buffet, Vignette will then backtrack to align herself with the entrance to the coach, blocking the way in and out.

Athela merely smiles and pulls her quarterstaff from its resting loop. "Tempting...but we have plenty of other places to go if we need money." Her eyes turn to stone. "And I have this thing about people who hurt kids."

Initiative when needed: 8

Willow, noticing Athela ready to fight, draws her rapier slowly along her back, letting it ignite in ice flames. "Let's do this then." 

Bea's Angel's Init: 13

Seeing the others start to unsheathe their weapons, Mia will take a few steps forward right up to the woman. She’ll place her foot on the box and unsheathe her blade, “I’ll take this though.” And she’ll kick the box behind her to one of the others . 

Initiative: 2

(and maybe it’ll stay right where it is under her foot? lol)
