OOC: Wouldn't that be running back into the room we were just trapped in?

OOC: That's how it looks to me too...

Vace said, "Unless you have an immediate plan for a new route, hold your breath and get ready to jump," Vace said to the two remaining that hadn't jumped.

"I don't think there's any other way." Cesia said, venturing into the smoke filled hallway, "It's probably a trap, after all. Just cover your mouth with your cloak and run for it." Cesia did as she had just insructed and ran and jumped through the fire; her legs getting slightly burnt. The stairway leading up had been drenched to keep the fire from spreading upstairs. "Come on you guys!" She yelled to the others who hadn't jumped through yet.

*sees that there is only one way out*

Thid: "Crap."

[OOC] i gtg eat get/dinner, i'll be back in 45 min. Just assume my character silently follows along, and runs though the flames. [OOC]

"Take one good breath, then jump," Vace said, then followed his advice, leaping over the flames and avoiding major injury.

(OOC: I need to get off soon. God, it's hard being the hard-ass all the time. I'm tempted to be helping the girls get through, but I can't.)

"Let's go people! Unless you WANT to be burnt alive!"

She just stood there for a moment, then took a short breath as she cover her hand with her robe, then covered her nose and mouth. She took and running start, then jumped over the fire. She didn't fair as well as the others though, and slammed hard onto the floor.

She whinced, coughing again since her hand was no longer covering her mouth. As she started to try and get up, Dawn realized that the bottom of her robes had started to catch fire, and frantically tried to put it out.

[edited due to my stupidity... that's what you get for only reading the first page of a 3 page thread and thinking that's the last post...]

Vace helped Dawn put out the fire, then helped her up. "See, no problem Dawn, now we all need to get out of here," Vace said, coughing in the smoke.

OOC: Umm, Dante, you seem to be way off where the rest of us are, since smoke is filling that room and the rest of us just got out of it...

OOC: Dante... You might want to read it all, instead of just skim... Or skim more then you do already...
