GM SCENE
As the carriage and Ranar’s paths intersect, Nicolas leans out far to the left and snatches the running dwarf by the arms.
The impact of the high-speed catch almost drags Nicolas from the carriage, and forces a sharp grunt from him in the process. Although his arms are still in place, the left one is no longer entirely functional; some severely strained tendons at the very least.
However, Nicolas’ sacrifice was not in vain; Ranar is swung up to the side of the carriage, where he precariously clings while he tries to catch his breath.
The guardsmen who were pursuing Ranar fling themselves to the side, barely avoiding being run down by the thundering carriage. The bulk of the Hazi guardsmen are approaching from the palace to the northwest, while troops from the Grand Mosque begin to fill Lorian Street to the northeast.
With hooves and wheels striking sparks from the cobbles, Aronn swings the team hard towards the southeast, almost overturning the carriage in the process. Whipping the horses back up to speed, Aronn whoops with glee as the carriage races across Safiya square towards Al-Imaan street and the southeastern exit from the square.
The sudden change of direction momentarily confuses the pursuit, allowing you to gain a few seconds’ breathing room.
[PLAYER CUE (if you want to do anything): Nicolas is lying on the floor of the carriage, clutching his shoulder in pain; Morton stands beside him. Hawk and Jibrīl hold onto the rear of the carriage, spear and janbiya in hand, while Ranar precariously clings to the side, just behind the door. The carriage is currently racing across the square at full speed, heading southeast]
