Lightning touches Ane and Jasra, singeing small holes in their garments. They dash out of the smoke cloud into the daylight, along with Buruzg and Garrett. You confront a small crowd of excited people who step away to make room for you to continue fleeing. Up above and beyond them, in the sky, a small figure standing on a shining glass plate speeds toward you: one of the padishah's patrolling wizards. Probably a mile away, not quite halfway across the city, but getting closer.
Lightning wraps around Asha, knocking her flat on her face. She's caught at the edge of the smoke cloud, behind you. The cloud is very slowly dissipating.
In the cloud, the Red Robes are coughing and shouting in Thayan. They sound disoriented.

Garrett will look over his shoulder and see Asha go down. He will stop on a dime spin and run back and try to help Asha. Can't leave a crew member behind. "Hold on Asha I am coming back!"

Asha screams for real this time as the lightning surges through her body. After collapsing at the edge of the slowly dispersing cloud of smoke, she lifts her head in confusion, fear and pain in her eyes, the soot on her face had formed into a pattern of streaked bolts. Hearing Garrett's voice, her eyes show a sliver of hope. Despite her muscles still being rigid and convulsing, she reaches an arm up towards him.

Ane sometimes tends to be... well, she would like to call it: 'considered', but others might call it 'slow to react'. She is still contemplating what is —or was— going on with the Red Robes conversation when the reality of the situation settles in and she sees Asha on the ground.
"Are you hurt?" She asks her friend, fluttering around now that her hand has been let go of, and not doing a whole lot to help. She looks to Garrett thankfully as he comes to their aid.
Ane is taking in the scene, all the details of where the Red Robes are, the incoming patrol officer, and the curious crowd. These facts will come in useful later, when we can formulate a plan. She tells herself.

Asha can only nod her head in reply. Tremors move through her body as she tries to get up and and she can't seem to support her full weight, at least for now.
OOC:
I expect as she starts to move, her muscles will gradually begin to loosen up and regain their strength, but for now she might need one or two people to keep her on her feet.Dec 19, 2024 11:00 am
Garrett will run back to Asha and help her up and get her moving while supporting her."I got you."

The sea breeze is thinning the smoke cloud and the Red Robes in it become vaguely visible. They're all coughing, the biggest one bent over with hands on knees.
There is a gradually-getting-louder humming noise as the patrolling wizard gets closer on his flying glass plate. That noise makes the crowd of onlookers nervous and they all begin to move away.

Buruzg, checks his running as the others stop and run back towards the Thayans, "What are you...?" Turning to see Asha shakily trying to climb to her feet he curses under his breath, "Red Filth!"
Unsure what he can do, Buruzg instead calls out derisively, "You'd better run, you bloody curs! The Padishah's Magister is coming! Return to the putrid hell the birthed you!"

Asha thanks Garrett as he helps her to her feet and provides a shoulder to hang on. Her whole body is sore from the electric shock, but her senses begin to return as she sees the others watching the approaching patrol. When Buruzg curses at the Thayans, she notices they still seem preoccupied by the smoke so says, "I appreciate the sentiment Buruzg, those Thayans deserve far worse than the Padishah's wrath, but let's get out of here. We don't want to be explaining ourselves to the magister, it could take hours. And we'll need to hurry too. We'll need to backtrack and take a longer route to Osiir now."

Let's talk about what was the possible disaster from doing this vs what was the expected success? My thought is that a really bad outcome would be the magister decides you are the aggressors, a good outcome would be that the magister decides you are victims, and a "4" means the magister takes notice of you and holds you on-scene but makes no immediate decision whether you're in the wrong. — sound good?Dec 19, 2024 7:09 pm

Would we all get caught? Or could Buruzg buy us time to get away at the cost of being questioned by himself?We don't want to split up the party for a long time... but maybe they take him to the gaol where Ginseng is being held? Maybe getting one of us captured was our plan and the Rad Robes fortuitously helped us?

Dhakhan, are you happy to let us get away and leave you?We will come back for you, which may help cement us into a team that can trust each other going forward.

That's sounds dandy! Once Buruzg figures out he's going to get questioned he's going to try to tell one of the others to check for him at Inki's. The sheesha lounge near the butchers. That's where he'll head after ...if, he's released. Then he'll immediately start whining to the Padishah's mage about the commontion the ill-mannered and troublesome Thayans are causing on the peoples thuroughfare. :D Last edited December 20, 2024 9:14 am

"Quite right." Ane nods in agreement when Asha says 'let's get out of here'.
"Quickly, through here." She motions the group down a small alley, filled with refuse and mostly blocked by broken barrels that would make it hard to traverse for people larger than themselves.
As the last of them enter, Ane stops, focuses a bit and moves her hands in a raising, painting motion, and an image of a stone wall forms at the mouth of the alley. If you concentrate on it you can still see the people in the road outside, but at first glance it looks like a dead-end. Presumably, from the other side, it looks like there is no alley at all and people will pass it by.
"That won't help us from above." Ane says. "But hopefully the patrol will stick to the street-level... or not look in this exact direction?"
Depending on what happens with Buruzg ibn Shahryar, she may want to watch from a distance and be on hand to help him out if needed.

Looking at the others in the alley Garrett will ask"Anyone know what was up with those chili peppers?"
