...that could be very painful. Correction, will be.

Clock tower? We just established that won't work...

Youd better hope it can work, else he is down to no options.

Correction: Chris can't type. *points and laughs*

Well, if the Agents know they're up there...that's bad. But it's not like they can fly, right? Would they be able to get down and out of sight before an Agent makes it up there?

Of course I meant clock tower!

...

But it seems that the clock tower is the right answer anyways.

Burn will need to delay that Agent by shooting it while everyone runs, that much is certain.

How much time does that leave Burn with once the Agent is delayed and ready to smash down the door?

And is there enough other debris around to jam another door? Because if Burn can still stay ahead of the Agent and jam the N/W door out of the 4-door room (that leads to the 3-door corridor), then he might be able to lose the Agent and get back to the clock tower safely.

How many times have I stated that if the Agents cotton on that you are using the roof, that entire section of the group will never make it out?

Geez.

Well, trying to jam more doors it is, then, I suppose.

If we're talking about completely risking another character, I'll take the death.

Balder will tap all powers and fire on the Agents as they come in to let the others get away.

I'd rather get everyone away alive and we have a better chance of it happening if Burn fires at the Agent to distract it.

No need for suicide, Balder, I think we may be able to get you and the others out of this yet!

I have another Idea...
What if we split up?
If I give Balder my grenades, and we, and everyone with intrusion goes towards the clock tower, and Balder goes towards the Library, He runs into the study, and then tosses the grenaes at teh door, with the intention of either blockign the door or cathing the agents in the fire, he then goes for the library exit. and even if he DOES bring the agent in there, its a better than certian death.

Ush has pretty much made it clear that the library is not much of an option. Especially not for Balder. That is certain death for him.

However, the fact that you have grenades gives me an idea...

If Burn stays behind a bit and fires through that door to delay the Agent and let the others get away, perhaps he could leave a grenade waiting for the Agent as he bails from the three-door corridor and heads after the others. Then, the Agent will be a tad busy dodging the blast of the grenade or being blown apart to be chasing immediately, and would possibly lose track of them!

Maybe...
Let us see what Ush says about that.
But it could be a possibility.
I will be willing to blow as many luck/fortune/whatever they are called in this game points as possible to pull this off.

I'd say dropping the grenade sooner might be better. He's gotta lose the Agent while he's in the 3-door corridor; so maybe blowing the hell out of the remains of the 4-door room would be better.

And actually, now that I think of it, the 3-door corridor has NOT been shot to pieces, unlike every other room in here. You might be able to find some stuff intact in there with which to block the door.

Well, Burn's already jammed the door that the Agent's going to have to break through...

We'll see what Ush says about grenades...

Well, try it and see.

Well, I guess Burn will be performing what I thought of, then.

Burn will fire at the Agent through the door, delaying him as the others escape.

Burn will drop a grenade as the Agent tries to get through the door, and make an Intrusion roll to get out of the 3-door room without the Agent sussing which way he went.

Agent will then walk in on a grenade.

Ok, the following happens.

Burn turns and fires through the door to slow the Agent down. hard to tell how well it is going.

The others run down that corridor, making no effort to hide that they are doing so, not that Balder really could anyway

The next moment, the Agent smashes down the wall between the east/west corridor and the three door corridor, and steps through into the 3-door with no apparent effort involved.
