Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
Pilgrim leans forward, trying to peer through the barrier he has made. He may have turned Tough Luck's heart, but that doesn't mean his thugs won't try something stupid--he's leaving it up for now. From what he can tell, there's some sort of fire fight going on. If he can see well enough, he reaches out with the life-giving energies around him, to impose another field of light between the thugs and whatever's attacking them. Given who this crew is, the attacker might have good reason for what's doing, but Pilgrim wants to see if he can bring some peace to this situation.

Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
Creeping his way to the laundry room entrance, Pilgrim leans forward and spots two sets of feet shuffling about further up the stairwell. Reaching down deep inside, the pious hero reaches out and paints the surrounding stairwell in front of them with divine radiance. The thugs guarding Tough Luck immediately begin to protest. "What the f- man!? We boxed in!" Some of the goons look like they might be ready to try and shoot their way out of the stairwell, whereas a couple of them seem to be intent on trying to climb up out of the rather confined space. Tough Luck however, merely turns his gaze towards Pilgrim and comments. "What the hell brutha!?" the man begins, "Why you box us in for? Surely "God" wouldn't want you to keep us caged in and helpless like this..."
** veritas **
His wound already healed, Remnant inches towards the men down in the stairwell. No sooner than he has taken a step or two forwards then a shimmering wall of golden light appears before him, warding the way ahead and preventing him from passing any further!

Remnant stops as the wall suddenly appears between him and his prey.
There's no way anything good is coming from those gangbangers sealing themselves off in the laundry room. This has to end before they hurt whoever they have trapped in there.
Familiar as he is with damaging auras, the fiery hero decides to test the barrier before him before attempting to break through.

Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
*WHAM!*
Remnant lands a powerful blow against the wall of shimmering light with his fist, but it does not break and sunder. The queasy feeling grows slightly stronger in the pit of his stomach and the hero wonders just what it is that he is up against.
Meanwhile, down below, Tough Luck continues to try and reason with Pilgrim, his mood growing more intolerant by the moment. "You got to let us out brutha!" the bald man tries to negotiate, "If that fool gets in upstairs, we're all done for down here!"
Equally as confused as their leader, Tough Luck's minions start to panic.
"Just shoot the f'n walls man. They can't be bulletproof!"
"Oh f- that man, what if the shots bounce back!? We'd blow our damned heads off!"
"Somebody give me a hand, maybe we can boost one of us up and climb our way out of here! T.C.!? See if you can reach the railing up there!"

Remnant feels the wall give a little as his fist slams into it. The uneasy feeling in his stomach combined with the remembered fear of the children outside give him cause for increased urgency. Throwing caution to the wind, Remnant throws everything he has against the wall!

Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
Pilgrim says, "I'm protecting you from whatever's up there. But I'd like to know what his beef is with you, to see if we can settle it peacefully. But I'll let you get some distance from him." Pilgrim creates a cylinder the gang members can flee down, but that will keep them away from Crystal. However, he leaves the far end boxed off--however, he leaves that far end invisible now, so the thugs think they can get away. Once he does that, he drops the force field nearest them, so they can flee into it. Once they're in, he plans to cap it shut and then let whoever's upstairs in.

Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
Tough Luck and two of the thugs dash a hasty retreat into the laundry room, their outside counterparts shrieking wildly as they open up with gunfire. "It broke through!" one of the thugs shouts loudly just as he fires his gun. "Waste that mutha!" The other thug responds with a gunshot of his own and then with a heartfelt "Go on and get inside Boss, we'll protect you!" The two men maneuver about the stairwell and try their best to defeat their attacker, but it quickly becomes apparent that they are having no luck in doing so. Meanwhile, Tough Luck and his comrades hit the end of Pilgrim's enclosure and promptly begin to protest. "What the f- man! Why can't we go any further!?"

Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
Pilgrim says to Tough Luck, "Because this guy might have a legitimate beef with you. I want to find out what he has to say, just like I heard you out." Pilgrim rearranges the barrier of holy light to let the burning fellow down the stairs, but to keep the thugs protected. He calls out to Remnant, "Yo man, I'm not with these guys, but I want to have a word with you, see what you're deal is, if we can't settle this peacefully."

Re: Prelude - Heaven and Hell
Remnant, hearing a reasonable voice call out above the chaos, stops momentarily.
"It's a long story, but in essence I came to check on a woman who was supposed to be here when the couple upstairs started shooting at me. Naturally, I assumed that the girl was in danger. I would know her condition before we continue the conversation."
