Day 3
The sun's already started to show up on the horizon, strands of light are shimmering through the window dimmly.
A thumb sound followed by some commotion ungently wakes Elori up. He turns his head over preparing to snooze again, when his barely opened eyelids notice Odeon beginning to sit upright in his bed. That look on his face... wha'ts happening?
Finally, all three of them, Barry, Elori and Odeon are wide awake after Porter slams open the door to their room and storms in, behind him a voice you've never heard before is yelling around.
Porter's shouting around adressing the three untouched, he looks visibly stressed "Guuuuys get up, everyone get up!!!"
Odeon and Elori see a guy more dark-skinned than any of the others in the group standing in the hallway right behind Porter, he's rocking a moustache and looks like he's in his mid 40s.
"Denaun, I know Ifucked up, badly, real bad! I told you! I was checking out the outskirts of town and there was this seemingly innocent guy making a fire, I checked the surroundings no one was there, so I went up to him, we had a talk and he seemed like your typical stranded survivor, ragged clothes, backpack, bad stench, you know the usual..." he stops as he spots Elori's and Odeon's perplexed looking faces "...by the way who are these guys?"
[https://i.imgur.com/AYbS2IF.png]
Porter answers hastily: "New companions, both untouched, guy in the red white robe's Elori, other one's name is Odeon, go on Kyu!"
The unknown man, whose name seems to be Kyu responds "Both untouched, wha...?!" he's jaw drops, one can see that he needs a moment to recuperate from the information, eventually he continues "Well anyway, so I went up to this dude, we had a conversation, backstory seemed tragic, family dead, town robbed, I shared some food with him, asked him if he wanted to come with us, explained our situation and suddendly out of nowhere two Reds jumped out of the bushes. Luckily they only had some knives and I was constanly perceptive of the surroundings, so I gunned them down with the Shoty, but.."
Porter goes on "But...?"
The Kyu-guy continues "The stranded survivor guy got away, probably he's a red. I told him we'll leave in two days, so they probably know now."
Porter seemingly startled: "Jeeeeez, really?! God damn, we wanted to scout ahead tomorrow to be sure everythings safe on the tracks... mh..." he waits for some moments "Ok, well screw it. We can't let them prepare an ambush, let's leave now. I'll tell Fuzz to stay here and camp on the roof to secure the base and surroundings, our friends from Detroit will come to his aid in a few days anyway." he starts yelling in the direction of the living room, where they shared their stories yesterday "Biz, pack up the rest of the ammo and get on the train, mount the gun! Kun, fire up the engine! Go Go, we've got no time to lose!"
Porter and the other guy who introduces himself as Eye-Kyu proceed to help the Untouched that got shaken awake to get their stuff together. Everyone prepares to leave in a hurry.

”Never can we catch a break, can we?” Elori jumps up out of the sheets quickly, he grab his bag, slings it over his shoulder and heads to the inside of Cargo Cart 1 towards the back.
For a moment Odeon is worried, but as he gets out of the bed the drowsiness clears and he realizes that this is actually a great development for him. Walking off secretly happy with the developments, as it saves him much needed time, he grabs his stuff and plays some panflute, while everyone is getting ready.
Odeon Perfomance (Charisma) Check (d20): 1
He's still groggy from waking up, so he misses the notes, the tune sounds completely off.
Is this a bad Omen?
Biz is holding the door to the exit open and hears the awful flute play "'The fuck are you doing man?! You wanna kill us all with that sickening noise before the Reds get to us?! Get over here!"
Odeon puts the flute away in slight embarrassment and notices a sharp professional kitchen knife while getting dressed. "Better take this with me... just in case..." and walks outside after hanging the new found weapon on one of the straps on the side of his backpack "Dibs on cargo car 1 with Elori, I'll sit in the front, inside, btw anyone needs a colt I gotcha."
Barry follows right behind, he gets his backpack as well and heads toward Cargo Car 2.
“While taking the life of another is condemned by the faith, exceptions have to be made sometimes." he takes Odeons offer "I’m unarmed — pass me that weapon! Let’s pray I won’t have to use it.”
Odeon thinks to himself "At least this one can shoot... Hope he doesn't have a change of heart in the midst of the battle and decides to slide it over again... like someone else..." he looks over his shoulder and hands Barry over one of the Colt he's acquired "Yes. Take it."
Before they board the train Porter hands all of them an earknob “Here, all of you take this, they’re set to our frequency, so you can hear us. Unfortunately, they're only receivers, we can only talk through the Walkie Talkies, and we only got 4 of them. Kuniva, Biz and me each have one, here take the last one so we can stay in touch.”
He hands the last Walkie Talkie to Elori, who stows it away in his robes.
The Train slowly starts to move out.
Porter signals through the headphones “Check check, everyone on board, we leaving. I forgot to tell you boys that the train is using an old steam engine, so we’re moving at 70 Miles per Hour max, it takes some time for the train to get that fast because we didn’t have time to prepare, so bear with it.”
As the train drives ahead, you see a huge metal construction ahead not exactly fitting the rest of the tracks, diverting the train to another rail, forming a loop around the station going east, north, then west and south, connecting to an existing track. Porter again begins to talk as you see this scenery “This is our baby, took us time to build this, we can bypass going through Detroit by diverting the train onto the rail to the south leading to the Toledo Amtrak Station.” The Train shakes a bit as you're moving over the structure.
They're almost out of Ann Arbor, they even recognize some of the landscape on which they passed through on their way to get to the station. There's a destroyed municipal building and an airport in ruins “Nothing more to get there” Porter adds as you drive by the steel graveyard that once allowed one to soar and go wherever they wanted.
The train is starting to take up speed slowly, it’s now almost at 20 mph / 35 km/h.
Then a concrete bridge appears in front of them and Kuniva informs on the radio "Guys, get ready, it looks like we've got a problem. Can't make out how many but 'bout 10 reds ahead on the bridge."
Everyone Rolls Initiative (d20)
[System Information: Group Initiative]
[As you may have noticed, in contrary to Players NPC's that belong to a 'Group' roll a 'Shared Initiative Roll (d20)'.]
[All of the characters in that group will act simultaneously during the 6 seconds duration of the Turn]
Elori Initiative Roll: 14

The Squad (Porter, Bizarre, Kuniva, Eye-Kyu): 7
------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn 1 Reds
------------------------------------------------------------------
The train passes by the Bridge, Porter goes "Okay, here they come!"
The Reds start jumping onto Train, 3 of them attached a rope to the bridge, they're swinging through the air and trying to land on the roof or open load area.
[Every jumping Red needs to do an Acrobatics (Dexterity) Check above 10 to land on the train safely. If they roll below 10 they reach the train, but stumble and need to get up first next round. If they roll below 5 they fall of the train and are out of the battle.]
Red 1: 18 (Makes it)
Red 2: 3 (Falls off)
Red 3: 12 (Makes it)
Red 4: 4 (Falls off)
Red 5: 12 (Makes it)
Red 6: 5 (Stumbles, but barely makes it)
Red 7: 15 (Makes it)
Red 8: 9 (Stumbles but makes it)
Red 1 lands on his feet quite skillfully, easing the fall with an Ukemi Ninja Roll, while pulling out a knife and cutting the rope that stabilized him at the same time. Red 1 hurries over to Porter who's on the Machine Gun and tries to slice his neck.
Hit Roll (D20) Red 1 vs Porter: 14 (Hits)
Damage Roll (1d4): 3
Porter didn't expect them to be this athletic, he tries to weave away, but Red 1 still cuts his shoulder. The cut is deep and hurts, but it's not impairing him from fighting. Denaun keeps a poker face.
Porter takes 3 Slashing Damage.
Red 2 didn't take as many sports lessons as Red 1, he breaks his ankle while landing and clumsily falls off the train (Out of battle).
Red 3 lands on the Roof of Cargo Car 2, like with all the others the face is concealed by the hood, their build makes it clear though that they're male. He moves over to the ledge and takes out a Colt, firing it at Eye-Kyu.
Hit Roll (D20) Red 3 vs Eye-Kyu : 5 Misses
The red is still shaking from the effect the landing had on his knees, the shots fly off into the nearby woods.
Red 4 cuts the rope around his waist at the wrong moment, crashing into the edge of Cargo Car 2 and falling off the train. (Out of Battle)
Red 5 and Red 7 land right behind Red Nr. 3, they absorb the impact of the fall by crouching down and slapping the ground.
Barry is right below the roof they're on he hears a heavy metal object clunk on the roof and is wondering what they're doing up there.
Red 6 lands right the center of the loading area, but gets overwhelmed by the speed and falls down by the law of inertia. Eye-Kyu is right in front of him, he tries to get up again.
Red 8 Jumps down on the other side of the bridge and stumbles onto one the roof of the passenger car.
[https://i.imgur.com/aj7Mopy.jpg]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn 1 Barry
------------------------------------------------------------------
Barry contemplates for a moment after hearing the heavy metallic object make contact with the roof above him. “I don’t like the sound of that. Might be explosives.”
He quickly makes his way towards the passenger car, so he can get away from the cluster of Reds above him, and so he can tell Biz about the noise he heard on the roof. If he remembers corrrectly he's got a walkie-talkie with him, and should hopefully be able to communicate this information with everyone else. He swiftly passes over the part connecting the passenger with the storage car and get's to him "Biz... quick... tell everyone there's something on the roof of the second cargo car... it might be a bomb."
Biz looks concerned "Oh man... not again... we had this happen before." he quickly reaches for his Walkie-talkie.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn 1 Elori
------------------------------------------------------------------
Elori is leaning out of the back of the last car and sees all the Reds descending “These guys don’t give up huh?” he closes his eyes. A strange wind starts to blow around his body.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn 1 Odeon
------------------------------------------------------------------
Odeon at the other end of the car can hear Elori, he laughs at his remark. "Let me reward them for their effort." he jokingly says. He opens the cargo carts door an inch, places his glock in between the opening and fires 2 shots at Red 3 that just fired at Eye-Kyu.
Hit Roll (d20) vs Red 3: 10 +4 (Glock Modifier) = 14 Hits!
Damage Roll (2d6): 3,6
Odeon hits Red 3 two times in the chest, it looks like he didn't have any kevlar vest on, blood starts bursting forth out of the holes in his red robe, they're tainting the garments in a darker tone.
Red 3 takes 9 Piercing Damage.
-----------------------------------------------
Turn 1 The Squad
-----------------------------------------------
Biz turns on the Walkie-Talkie, explaining to everyone what's going on on the roof "Boys, Barry fears there might be a bomb on the roof of the second cargo car!" he turns to Barry "I'll right here where the machine gun is at, in case more of them show up."
Eye-Kyu that just barely avoided getting some additional holes into his body, takes out his Double-Barreled Shotgun which he keeps on his back, he tries to Shoot Red 6 lying on the ground in front of him.
Hit Roll (d20) Eye-Kyu vs Red 6: 3 + 1 Misses.
Eye-Kyu misjudges the weight of the gun and hastily fires it as soon as he gets it off his back.
A ghastly noise resounds as the bullet of the shotgun bursts apart and hits the loading area. The pellets spread all across it, ricocheting all over the place.
Porter fears for his life for a moment "Yo Kyu! You nearly got me instead of him!" he takes out two Military Knifes from his Legpockets, while dodging the attacks from Red 1 and tries to counter him with two swift strikes.
Hit Roll 1 (d20) Porter vs Red 1: 15+2 = 17 Hits
Damage Roll (1d6): 5
He gets Red 1's arm with the first strike, looks like he hit a good spot, the foe has troubles holding onto his knife.
Hit Roll 2 (d20) Porter vs Red 1: 9 +2 = 11 Misses
The second hit just passes by his chin area. Porter begins to look stressed, he wanted to end it with this strike.
Kuniva hears Biz call on the radio, but is busy checking the temperature on the instruments, to see if he needs to add additional coal to the engine. He stays inside, controlling the trains path
-----------------------------------------------
Turn 2 Reds
-----------------------------------------------
Red 1 tries to bear the pain of the wounded arm and the knife fight continues, he attempts to stick up Porter yet again.
Hit Roll 1 (d20): 3 Misses
But fails to do so, his wounded right arm starts to feel numb, the strength seems to be leaving it.
Red 3 who is bleeding, holding his pierced chest because of Odeons assault, he desperately clutches his Colt. He failed to hit Eye-Kyu with his Colt the first time, but he tries his luck once again.
Hit Roll (d20) Red 3 vs Odeon: 9 Misses
His vision is getting blurry because of the blood loss, his aim is getting shakier by the second.
Elori notices something on the second cargo cart after hearing Biz announce that something strange is going on, on the roof "What's that?" He watches the situation carefully.
Red 7 and 5 drag the heavy bags across the train roof, they jump down where the connection to the passenger car is.
Red 6 and Red 8 managed to stand up and get ready to join the action.
[https://i.imgur.com/Xl3RGqP.jpg]
Elori feels like it's time to intervene, wind still blowing around his left hand he crosses the first cargo car, nods at Odeon, while walking past him and begins to make his way over the loading area, aiming to get to the roof with the Reds on it.
Barry takes cover behind a nearby passenger seat, and aims the colt he received from Odeon towards Red 5 and 7. He decides to pull the trigger once Red 7 is in his sight and fires two shots.
Hit Roll(d20) Barry vs Red 7: 19 Hits
Damage Roll (2d4): 1,4 = 5
He hits him good, but not good enough, he survives with a wounded leg, as well as shoulder and falls back behind the wall.
Odeon sees Elori advancing, winds whirling around him "Get their arse mate."
He turns his attention back to his glock and aims at the Red that's clutching his bleeding stomach because of him again. "I hope these 'Free People' got more 9mm bullets for me cause im spending some today." He fires at
Hit Roll(d20) Odeon vs Red 3: 16 Hits
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Damage Roll (2d4): 6,4 = 10
Odeon gets Red 3 just as he's about to use him last strength to jump up, he hits him straight in the throat, the dead body loses momentum and drops off the train.
-----------------------------------------------
Turn 2 The Squad
-----------------------------------------------
Biz closely looks if there's any more Reds approaching in the vicinity. Aiming at the surroundings with the machine gun.
Porter's combat goes on, he launches another two meele attacks on Red Nr. 1 with his two Military Combat knifes.

Eye-Kyu takes another shot with his shotgun at Red 6, who is almost on his feet.
Hit Roll (d20) Eye-Kyu vs Red 6: 9+1 = 10 Misses
And he misses again, the shots impact the ground just in front of Red Nr. 6, who is now standing tall.
Eye-Kyu feels like he's in a pinch here.
Kuniva talks to everyone on his Walkie Talkie "Guys, I heard something back here, everything alright? Front cars? Biz, Barry? What was that about something on the roof?" he clearly seems to busy to be paying attention to the progression of the battle.
-----------------------------------------------
Turn 3 Reds
-----------------------------------------------
Red 6 tries to grapple Eye-Kyu, right as Kunivas words resound over the frequency.
Contested Athletics (Strength) Check (d20) Red 6: 7
vs
Contested Athletics (Strength) Check (d20) Eye-Kyu : 14
But the man witht he shotgun on his back shakes him off easily.
Red Nr. 8 jumps down from the roof, in between the connection to the engine car and storms into it. He runs up to Kuniva, tries to hit him with a steel baseball bat.
Hit Roll (d20) Red 8 vs Kuniva: 14
Damage Roll (d6): 1
Kuniva was expecting something to happen, so he notices the strike and Red 8's baseball bat only grazes him.
Red Nr. 7 is hurt by Barries attack, his left leg isn't really functional anymore, he stays behind the wall, it seems as if he's preparing something.
Red Nr. 5 ducks down behind one of the passenger seats as well, he waits for someone to shoot, trying to react at the right moment to counter-fire.
[https://i.imgur.com/aQscdvi.jpg]
Elori runs past Nr. 6 who is wrestling with Eye-Kyu and the bloodied corpse of Nr. 1 who's just fallen onto the ground next to Porter after getting offed by him. Surely Porter will be able to get Eye-Kyu out of this mess, but he himself has to take care of the rest of the bunch. He opens the door to the second cargo cart and thrusts his left palm forward.
[Elori casts Gust]
[Red Nr. 5 who isn't bracing the wall has to do a Strength Saving throw 10 or more (10+Spell Modifier) or be blown 5 feet away]
Strength Saving Throw: 7 Fails
Elori flicks his wrist after the thrust, a heavy spiraling wind appears at the palm of his hand and pierces through Cargo Cart 2, lifting some of the lighter objects and crates into the air.
Red 5 gets blown off his feet and inside inside the passenger car where Barry is at.
Barry yells "I could use some help over here, Biz!" Barry shouts, as he fires two more rounds at Red 5 who gets lifted in the air.
Hit Roll (d20) vs Red 5: 16
Damage Roll (2d4): 2,2 = 4
One can see Red 5 getting lift in the air by the gust. Whilest he's flying towards Barry, the latter manages to hit and graze the Reds waist once, then hits him in the pelvis with the second bullet.
Too bad. He doesn't look too badly wounded and what's that? Barry can't believe his eyes. The Red turns around mid are after being shot and fires back at him with his Colt two twice as well, as he lands safely on his feet next to him inside the passenger car.
Hit Roll (d20) Red 5 vs Barry: 17 + 0 Hits
Damage (2d4): 2,3 = 5
Barry takes 5 Piercing Damage.
Barry Health Points: 17/22
He hits Barrys left shoulder twice, the bullets go through cleanly, right above the collarbone, the wound isn't too big, but it seriously burns.
Odeon quickly grabs his knife, kicks in the door and heads outside, running towards Red 6 to save Eye-Kyu yelling "Elori, at the second cart!" he tries to stab the red hooded enemy, who just was forced to let go off his companion.
Hit Roll (d20) Odeon vs Red 6: 15+2 = 17
Damage Roll (1d6): 6
Red 6 is shocked at the sight of the madman in the green-poncho storming out the door. He's not fast enough to regain his balance after his little scuffle with Eye-Kyu, Odeon stabs him in the rightside of his chest area. He steps back and pants for a moment. Looks like he isn't finished yet.
-------------------------------
Turn 3 D12
------------------------------
Eye-Kyu again attacks the weakened Red 6 with his shotgun, now feeling reassured because Odeon came to help him.
Hit Roll (d20) Eye Kyu vs Red 6: 15+1 = 16 Hits
Damage Roll (1d10): = 5 Damage
He finally aims correctly and pumps Red 6's chest full of lead up from upclose. The hooded figure gets blown away by the force of the impact and large portions of his chest gets blown away, he's gone for good. "**** yeah! Finally!" Eye-Kyu yells, before sighting the bloody chunks left on the loading area "Urkkk..."
Odeon looks at the mess and proclaims "I'm definitly not the one who's going to clean that." before preparing to move on to the passenger cart, where the fighting is still going on.
Porter sees Red 6 going down and also turns to run in the direction of the passenger car shouting "Everthing alright up there? We got em down here!" He spots Red 7 on the roof and can't exactly see what he's doing, but he seems to be preparing something by the way he's concealing himself.
Bizarre jumps Red 5 who just got blown into the Passenger car and was exchanging gunshots with Barry seconds ago. He tries to grapple him.
Contested Athletics (Strength) Check Bizarre: 13
vs
Athletics (Strength) Check Red 5: 7
Biz manages do get a hold of Red 5, he can't move, the difference in build and weight is just too big. He looks measly compared to the size of Biz.
Kuniva tries to punch the baseballbat swinging Red 8 who attacked him two times already.
Hit Roll (d20) Kuniva vs Red 8: 17 Hits
Damage Roll (1d4) Kuniva vs Red 8: 3
Hit Roll (d20): 10 Misses
The first strike is a clean jab on Red 8's chin, Kuniva misses the followup though, it's not enough to knock him out.
-------------------------------
Turn 4 Reds
------------------------------
Red 5 tries to free himself from the Grapple.
Contested Athletics (Strength) Check (d20) Red 5: 4
vs
Contested Athletics (Strength) Check (d20) Bizarre: 5
The Red doesn't manage to get out and is still stuck in his arms.
Red Nr. 7 steps out on the ledge of the roof, he heaves a large metallic object into the air and lowers it down to the connection between the passenger and cargo car 2. Barry can now see what the source of the noise was that he heard: Red 7 jumps down, he drags a Big railway tool, almost looking like a wrench, and tries to mount it on the parts connecting the cars.
Red Nr. 8 is still awake after the jab he received and keeps on swinging at Kuniva.
Hit Roll (d20): 5 Misses
It looks like the attack earlier did have an effect though, Red 8's swings are getting less sharp, Kuniva is able to sidestep the attempt.
[https://i.imgur.com/mXue4fh.jpg]
Odeon is shaking with adrenaline after witnessing one of the reds getting blown into pieces right in front of him. He points his bloodied knife towards the front of the train while he looks at Eye Kyu. "Nice, niiiiice, took care of that! Now let's hurry towards the front, quickly!" he dashes to the exit of the passenger cart, past Elori and Porter who encourages the squad "We almost got them!"
Elori is still pondering about Red 5 he just sent flying "Damn, was hoping he'd panic or hit his head." he mutters "Hope Barry and Biz can manage... he's right at their feet...". He presses his back against the wall of the train for a moment and begins concentrating on the next spell.
Barry aims the colt at Red 5's head. "Go quietly in to the long night, you flying son of a bitch." followed by a suggestion to the one still holding his target "Biz, you need to tell Kuniva to stop the train – They're trying to break the carts apart!"
[System Information: Hit Roll Advantage/Disadvantage]
[In the current scenario, Biz is holding the Red, so he's less able to dodge an attack. This allows Barry to roll his attack roll with advantage (Roll twice, take the better result)]
Hit Roll with Advantage (d20) vs Red 5: 11, 11 = 11
Damage Roll (1d4): = 4 Damage
His fingers pull the trigger, the bullet instantly shatters Red Nr. 5's skull, pieces of flesh, bones and brain matter burst out and placard the wall of the train, and Biz's face in particular. He waits a moment, bloody glibber dripping from his head, looks at Barry and shouts "What the FUCK Barry?! Why did you do this? You could've stab him or chocked, I 'o kno'?! Look at me man, I'm a mess! FUCK You!" he looks really angry but nevertheless grabs his Walkie Talkie "Ayo Kuniva, you there?... Kuniva?"
Barry sees Biz's blood-covered face and returns to his senses. "Sorry Biz. Got caught up in the moment."
------------------------
The Squad Turn 4
------------------------
Kuniva is busy fighting with Red 8, he hears Biz's call but can't respond, he's just thinking "Jeez I've got other problems right now" before throwing another two punches at Red 8.
Hit Roll 1 (d20) Kuniva vs Red 8: 9 Misses
Hit Roll 2 (d20) Kuniva vs Red 8: 4 Misses
Both punches hit the air, as Red Nr. 8 weaves and bobs his head, seeminlgy recovering from the earlier blow he took. Kuniva can see some strands of blonde hair being revealed, now that the hood is sitting less tight on his enemy's head.
Biz runs up to the entrance of the engine car, a trail of blood is being produced from the remains he's wiping off of him.
Porter signals Odeon and Elori to get ready to rush the remaining Reds.
------------------------
Reds Turn 4
------------------------
Red Nr. 7 starts unscrewing the big bolt holding the trains together, it seems like this will take him some time, as he's alone and has barely enough strength left to do it himself.
Red Nr. 8 attacks Kuniva again with his Baseball Bat, he looks desperate.
Hit Roll 1 (d20) Red 8 vs Kuniva: 12 Hits
Damage Roll (1d6): 5
Kuniva tries to dodge, but Red 8 hits his left arm, a faint cracking noise is heard. Kuniva lets out a loud "Ugh!".
[https://i.imgur.com/sbAb2oS.jpg]
Elori moves up to Odeon and Porters position and awaits their move, so he can see what's up in the engine car.
Odeon is ready to end this threat, he's ready for some light travel, maybe ask Porter for one of his cigars... but first... first he needs to do this. He shouts "Suprise motherfucker!!!" and turns the corner, intenting to stab Red 7, who's tweaking with the train, as hard as he can.
Hit Roll 1 (d20) Red 8 vs Kuniva: 17+2 = 19 Hits
Damage Roll (1d6): 6
He stabs Red 7 in the shoulder, but he manages to jump back. He's not defeated yet and is looking at him with glooming eyes.
Elori dashes past Odeon the moment he withdraws his knife, wincing at the sight of him stabbing Red 7, continuing until he gets to the doorframe of the entrance to the engine car. He catches sight of Kuniva being beaten assaulted and raises his hand, preparing to use yet another spell. This time his palms don't produce any wind, instead his fingers start glowing in a blue light. He draws a circle into the air.
[Elori casts Sacred Flame]
[System Info. Saving Throw: DC]
[Some Spells evoke a Saving Throw that gets influenced by a characters magical abilities, namely the Spell modifier. The Formula for the Spell DC is: 8+Spell Modifier. Every character that rolls lower than the DC fails a Saving Throw.]
[Sacred Flame Dexterity Saving Throw DC: 8+ 2 (Eloris Spell Modifier) = 10]
Red 8 Dexterity Saving Throw (d20): 7 Fails
Damage Roll (1d8): 5
Red 8 takes 5 Radiant Damage.
A glowing circle spawns above Red 8's head and a searing ray of light comes crashing down. Red 8's cloth get singed, one can hear him coughing, but somehow he's still standing.
Barry sees Odeon stabbing Red 7 and Elori taking care of Red 8. He decides to follow after Biz and dash the engine room. Biz and him hurry to get there. The chubby guy still seems to be pissed "Yeah, you fuck me not, fuck off" he wipes the blood of his face and keeps on running.
------------------------
The Squad Turn 5
------------------------
Kuniva throws another two punches at red 8 after he was just sizzled by some sort of burning light, he has confidence because he sees his friends arriving by his side.
Hit Roll 1 (d20) Kuniva vs Red 8: 18 Hits
Damage Roll (1d4): 4 Damage
Hit Roll 2 (d20) Kuniva vs Red 8: 7 Misses
He gets another Jab in, Red 8 is coughing some more, and is begnning to sway involuntarely, but he isn't done somehow.
Biz and Barry get there "In time..." Biz mumbles before leaving Barrys side. He runs into the fray and tries to attack Red 8 with an uppercut.
Hit Roll 1 (d20): 7 Misses
Red 8 dodges with a sidestep, even in his condition, that attack was way too slow.
Porter prepares to end Red 7 before any damage is done to the train, he continues the assault after Odeon withdraws his knife.

After Odeon's nasty stab Red 7 is defensless against Porters attack, he finishes him off by ramming his knife into his skull. He pulls it out and shakes the blood off "That's that!"
Eye-Kyu stays behind, scouting the environment to check if there's any more threats.

Red 8 swings are getting wider, they look even more desperate than before. After sidestepping Biz uppercut, he tries to get Kuniva, who's already chipped.

Barry puts his gun away, afraid he might hit an ally. Elori and him get closer to Red 8, trying to surround him.
Elori has time to look at Biz from up close and is in shock "What happened to your face?!"
Barry smirks "Biz isn't injured, blood just spurted on his face when I shot the other guy..."
Elori is reliefed "I see." he takes his wooden staff off of his back and weighs it in both of his hands thoughtfully “... That one... I say we interrogate him, it’d only be right for his trouble.” refering to the wounded enemy with the baseball bat in hand.
Barry is agreeing in general but has some doubts "It all depends on if he's willing to talk." he moves to surround Red 8 and readies himself in case of an oncoming attack.
Odeon sees the whole squad pressuring the last remaining red. "I feel like I've done my part..." and with a sigh he sits down next to the body of Red 7, searching him for any weapons or items of value.
He finds something peculiar: An Old Papyrus showing a drawn map is buried in the Red's pockets.
"And while we're at it..." he strips a simple silver ring off his fingers as well "Thank you!" Odeon cynically says before taking a closer look at the map he found.
