I’m no gunman or fighter of any sort, but as a mage. I’m not totally helpless. Fireball is my most effective combat spell, and I readied one now, just in case. Gun in hand and moving a bit stiffly, Turtle stood up and walked cautiously toward the door to Goob’s office. Bulletproof or not. getting hit by an Uzi round had to hurt. Suddenly all hell broke loose as killers in the darkness below cut loose randomly toward the ceiling. I heard yells of pain and fear, and wondered which of my friends had been hit. I flattened myself on the steel girder while slugs whined by on either side. Slithering on my belly like a sea slug, pushing my green leather bag ahead of me like a shield, I inched toward the landing.
