Fyrin and Marco observed the barrier for the first time - Marco immediately pulled back, as lights were lining the corners where the walls met the floor and ceiling, exactly as they'd been described ages ago, in addition to the main overhead lights.
The barrier was wall to wall, and three turret mount points had shifting stone around the barrel of a machine gun that unloaded itself down the corridor.
--
Takeshi threw himself forward, crouching and rolling his body up against his main shield. He'd heard the grappling hook before Paul had reached the ceiling, for a hook does can enter neither metal nor stone without a substantial noise being made. Takeshi threw a hand upward, and a stone spike punched through the metal part of the ceiling behind Paul.

((Darius then realized that Gertrude is story-essential and he was not and not to push his luck.))

"Holy ******** s**t!" Marco said, pulling Joe back behind a corner. "How the hell are we supposed to break through that?"
He fired a Force Bullet around the corner experimentally, aiming for a turret.

The force bolt deflected the gun's barrel, but it swung back into place a moment later.

Fyrin ducked back. "No way we're going to break through. We have to trick them into coming out. Of course, there's no good reason for them to do that... let's see if we can place fires behind them," Fyrin suggested. "Or just incinerate their ammunition... if we could put a fireball up a barrel, blow one round with the chamber open, we might get a chain reaction." This was just brainstorming; Fyrin could already tell it would never work. "Could we cut the barrels off?"
---
Paul released the hook and spun to land on his feet on the ground, dissipating the other Pauls immediately. No point in keeping them any longer. He backed up as quickly as he could, firing and looking for better cover.

"Let me take a shot at it!" Marco said. He focused for a moment, then fired a Force Bullet that was concentrated in an extremely thin beam, like a laser, and swept it across the barrel of a gun.

Marco's force bolt, being a force bolt and not a laser, made a somewhat poor laser. It didn't do any visible damage to the gun.
On the other hand, Marco caught a shimmer where his force bolt was hitting as he pulled back, much like from Takeshi's shield - the whole barricade had a magic shield, it seemed.

"It's shielded!" he called up to Fyrin, in case he hadn't seen.

Any ideas? Jacob asked Ohanzee as he shrank back behind cover and disabled his Chameleonic as soon as he was out of sight.

Ohanzee abruptly cut off. Two very strong mana signatures were approaching Jacob; one came from below, one from above. He heard the door to the staircase open. Both signatures were heading straight for him now, from the same side of the forking-and-reuniting hallway.

Oh s**t. Jacob thought, Friend or foe? Friend or foe?
Unable to decide, Jacob sighed deeply and quietly and pulled out his shotgun. He waited until the mana signatures were almost to him before he reactivated his Chameleonic and waited until could see the source of the two mana signatures.
If it appeared that running through the vampire-infested room held better odds than standing and dealing with the two, then he would consider doing just that.

What seemed to be an unfamiliar demon-major of some type was walking alongside... Renard? They began to walk down the final passage to the vampire guard post. The mana signature was overwhelming. The vampire at the end of the hall pressed his hands over his ears, wincing.
