The Conclusion of B5...
Yeah, those are some good questions. It'll easily take 30 min to get back to the elevator from where you are, assuming no ex-paladin or other NPC nonsense. So not really an option. Of course, the magical voice could be lying about how much time you have left, but you doubt it.
To get to the mirrors, it takes three or four rounds from where Dave, Rupert, and Mike are. Each round is six seconds. So, you could get to Sarah's body in two rounds, leaping over the railing, loot her, and get back. You think. Plus maybe get a few rounds in if you feel like chancing it. So, in total, about 15 rounds left before the 90 sec countdown is over.
Your action sir.
Oh right, looting Sarah. That's probably a good idea. You and Brogg head back down to where Dave et al. are duelling it out. A few rounds have gone by...
Dave, if you'll consult the posts below, you'll see that the Heroic Rage gives you 18/00 STR, meaning that you get +6 to damage. That's a fucking lot of damage you dish out on round two. But in the meantime, Rupert gets a 13, hitting, next round 18, hitting, third round, 9, which actually hits you also. You take 25 hp in total from a good solid slicing. Down to 8. Round two, you manage to retaliate, doing 24 hp damage to the poor guy. Still standing, hence the round three smackback. Round four, however, Brogg and Cinder leap down! Cinder goes for Sarah's body, and Brogg flails wildly against Rupert's super platemail. Apparently, though, the distraction is what you need, Dave, as you cave in Rupert's skull with a final well-placed mace blow for 13 more. All the way down to -11, there's not much this sad, well-meaning paladin can do. Even Heaven is denied him. His body crumples to the ground covered in blood and bits of bone.
"60 seconds until this ancient weather station collapses!"
You guys quickly loot the two bodies- it takes awhile to extract platemail though, and collect Mike and his severed arm. Here's the loot count:
Rupert:
Platemail of Hyannis
Longsword of gold
Crossbow
Holy symbol of Isaac
Gauntlets
Sarah:
Necklace
Ring
Mace
Robes
You then dash up the scaffold, right as blue lightning strikes it, collapsing it beneath you! Dave, heavily laden down with plate armor, falls off the ledge! But Brogg thinks quick and is like "Hang on buddy... I gotcha... just grab my hand... there you go." And Brogg and Cinder help Dave back up. You then head into the observation chamber and get to the mirrors, right as you hear:

You guys don't have a lot of time to consider the decision... which mirror to enter? Mountains or cave? First one to buzz in makes the call and wraps up the B module series! There's a shitload of xp to be had after all this, I'll tell ya.
