Sorry I thought Rah had to defend against 4 Osokans coming his way.
If there's time Rah will help Tanic cut, if not then he's going to use his gun skills to shoot at the eyes of the porcine attackers to make them keep their distance.
Then when he runs out of range he'll go back to using his sabre
Takuan, you dash towards the window, aiming a Bash at it as you go. It cracks but does not break. That suffices, however, and it shatters as you come tearing out the window, glass, or plastiglass, or whatever it is, showering all around you.
Do you have Fall?

Ok, Tanic is cutting, Rah is fighting. Rah, you havew a choice here; do you want to try and pick off the Osokans with aimed fire, or, if you have Flurry Fire, you can try and just volley fire down there to slow them down.

It's a scruffy-looking guy in workmen's clothes, Galder- same man who called across to you at the river.
"Hell's teeth, you're heavy!" he says, lifting you clear of the river with enough effort that leaves him lying down on the ground just afterwards... just as another Osokan climbs up.
Galder, you struggle and slash with the Osokan and it falls to the ground. The man then unloads another dozen shots into its head at close range.
"Damn things," he says. He then fishes into a small satchel by his side, and produces a thermal detonator.
"My name's Doon," he says. "Melkus Doon. And if you want to live, you'll come with me."
(How ironic, Ush! I named a friend o' Galder's Matthias Doon in "The Starkiller" 😂 )
"Hot damn," Galder says, admiring the man's work, the name Doon flashing in his mind for an instant before shunning his feelings and memories again. "Well, that sounds like a pretty good plan to me, Melkus."
"Care to help my partners in crime? Hell, why help me?"
He laughs.
"Hell no," he says. "They'd shoot me if I was and I dressed like this!"
He tosses the detonator into the river and runs like mad, as fast as he can.
(Heavy blaster of a type you have not seen before, Galder. It's silvery with an easily discernable magazine loader. You doubt it is a mass produced model)
A huge explosion sounds behind you, Galder, the shockwave nearly knocking the two of you over, the water turing to steam and depositing all around.
"That'll slow them down," says Doon, "though it will also piss them off. And bring attention. Keep moving; they haven;t covered the whole city yet."
Your comm beeps, Galder, but Doon grabs your hand as you reach for it, and shakes his head.
"They're monitoring your communications. They're very good."

Intuition cannot be used voluntarily, Rand. The starport is in the Northern quarter so the fastest way out is probably North, but then they are COMING from the North.
