>Okay, so I think the plan is to keep breaking sight lines as much as possible, even if this slows us down a little. Make him leap over the rooftops to try and catch us. And either we lose him and let the poison do its job or he gets up close and personal and I make sure the limo has a very unsoft landing.
>Do we need a mana vial in our hand to be able to draw on it? If so, let's ready one along with a Wall stone.

>"Right!" Archer says.
>Contact is necessary. It need not be with your hands, but it has to be with your skin.

>You fish a vial out as Archer circles around the back of the house. Just as she starts to turn the corner, the limousine bursts into the back yard, smashing the chain-link fence that Archer just hopped over a moment ago!

>"Got it!" Archer sends, moments before she springs onto the roof. "
>The Limousine does a one-eighty spin as Archer springs and lands on the roof. It seems they were expecting you to go around the house and were planning to cut you off. This works to your favor, Archer needs a minute herself to get her footing. "Should I try to bait them?" Robin sends.

>"I'm going to try to get them to land on the front yard," says Archer, as she moves to run diagonally toward the peak of the roof. "Get ready!"
>The Limousine backs up a little as she runs, and you get your first good look at it. The grill and front bumper are festooned with spikes like before, but they are joined by more where the window framing meet the roof, more on the roof itself, and you think some smaller ones in the rear. There isn't much on the sides though, likely to keep a more narrow profile. The limousine then suddenly surges forward and springs into the air on a direct collision course!

>You do so, and set yourself to casting. You trust Archer to deal with the thing and focus. Mana floods through the tube and races through your body like a sudden wave of heat! You chant, you focus the power, letting it flow through you. Then you cast, sending the rock into the air.
>Then you suddenly feel your face slam into gritty tiles! Your focus is nearly lost, but you feel the mana continue to flow through the pain and sudden weight atop you.
>A moment later, the feeling is gone and the air is filled with the sound of rending metal.

>You look up. Your face hurts a bit.
>You have a good view of the front yard, where the front of the of the vehicle is practically impaled on a wall of dirt and sod that has pushed the hood open. Even more strange, the rear section of the car is simply gone; the passenger area has opened up, and the rear sear where Charles was sitting is gone entirely...there is simply some kind of low mechanism you cannot identify that seems to have been under the seat.
>Archer is already getting to her feet, the driver's side door flies open.

>...Oh god, what if it is?
>You get to your feet; it's hard to tell what archer is doing when she's invisible, but you're certain she's at least stood up. An older man emerges from the vehicle, carrying a cane in hand. Archer was right, he's definitely wearing an older style of suit with a closed vest underneath, you estimate he must be in his fifties. His left shoulder is oozing blood.
>"Orders?" Archer sends.

>You are.
>"Got it," Archer says as the old man, Rider, charges toward the roof. For a moment, you wonder if he's going to leap onto it, then vanishes below the roofline. You hear Archer loose an arrow he does, and see it slam into the dirt. "Lucky bugger," Archer sends.
>A moment later, the hook of his cane snares onto the lip of the roof, and a moment later he pulls himself up with a surprisingly smooth motion! The old man's face is contorted in fury, you nearly expect him to be foaming at the mouth! His eyes are locked on you.
>Information update: Rider.

>Do we think it's possible Rider could be Henry Ford? He was a clean-shaven gentleman approaching a century of datedness now, with strong capitalist leanings, highly associated with cars, and famous in particular for pioneering lines of soulless workers laboring on those cars in a swift and efficient fashion. Also supposedly fond of black.
