[Day: Friday, June 5th. Time: 5:50 p.m.] [You're in Dresden, gearing up for President Schoener's parade/speech in just 10 minutes. Rumor has it 6 hitmen (actually 2 hitmen, 3 hitwomen and 1 hitthing) are out for his head. Are you bad enough d... forget it, we did that joke already.] [You're in the lobby of the hotel, where the Prez's bodyguards are busy making final preparations. He'll be done any minute now.] [Start!] (No luck in our 3 hours of downtime searching?) ( Nope! ) (So no snipers in the identified windows, etc. Alright.) ( Oh. You found 27 bombs, 12 gunmen and 99 kgs of dynamite. ) (I've always wanted those!) (Unfortunately, you could only haul 6 gunmen, 3 bombs, and 50 kgs of dynamite back to the wagon.) (The chancellor makes so many friends.) (So, how are we getting from here to there? Do we have a chosen car?) * Roseli is in the lobby. She's pacing a bit, and she says to Jamie, "Do another screen of the prime sniping spots." * Jamie nods and send her helecopters on their rounds, she's gotten fairly used to the route now. ( Welp, you got 10 minutes to figure something out. :D ) (... I... think that if you're going to have someone guard you, it might be a good idea to put them in something besides an obvious van.) (But hey, if they don't care!) 6 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (6 2d6-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 9 5 3 4 9 8. * Luana is drawing fire flowers in the air for Keiko. * Jamie shakes her head at Rose. [Kreutz comes over to you. "It's almost time. Are you prepared?"] * Keiko is sitting on the side of a chair, legs crossed, looking up at the fire as she continues active scanning. She half-smiles and murmurs, out loud, "Studying my picture?" * Keiko runs her fingers over her collar idly as she sits there. * Luana looks pretty chilled out, possibly because there isn't much for her to do before everything starts. "Maybe we'll both be artists one day. I could do live drawings at your art gallery." * Keiko glances to Heinrick, then back to Luana as she murmurs. "Yeah. If I ever get a chance to have one..." * Roseli nods to Kreutz. "Best we can be." She looks to Jamie. "Make a thorough sweep once the procession starts, and keep it up. Pay special attention to the location you spotted." * Jamie nods twice. [Kreutz nods and goes to check with some other men.] * Heinrick looks over at Kreutz for a second, not noticing Keiko's glance at him. "How about yourself?" * JesseLman has joined #MC4 ('ey) * Keiko guides off a little of Luana's flame and murmurs, "Tandem exhibits, maybe?" * JesseLman is now known as Togo If we're ever out of a job, we can always take up busking. * Keiko tilts her head as the fire dies in the air. "Busking?" (Unfortunately "Out of a job" means you never remember this one. :P) (I never said Luana was being realistic!) * Luana guides a line down into a stem with one finger. "Performing on the street for money. You've never seen buskers?" * Keiko blinks, then goes, "Ah... didn't know the word." A weak smile, then quietly, "Maybe." (Where are we?) ( teh lobbi ) (Was I written out somewhere, or am I hanging around?) (Unposed!) [Togo emerges from the men's room.] ( There ya go! ) * Keiko chuckles a little. "One of a kind show, that'd be." * Togo joins the rest of the group with a few wet spots on his collar, adjusting his glasses as he shuffles along slowly. [And then the President shows up. Kreutz goes over to speak to him, and he loudly declares, "I told you, I'm not going to cower in the face of danger. That would only invite more terrorist attacks. Proceed as planned!"] * Roseli mentally shrugs. That's the president for you. (This on the other hand won't invite more attacks against you... because after you're dead they don't need to kill you anymore! XD) [Kruetz nods reluctantly and goes to make more preparations, while other MiBs escort the prez to his car.] * Heinrick just glances that way. He's used to it too. * Jamie listens to them, but pays more attention to her search of windows and ledges outside. 6 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (6 2d6-2) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4 4 5 6 3 2. * Togo shakes his head, then leans back against a pillar. [The Prez gets in his car, a snazzy convertable.. MiBs pile in with him, as well as in the cars with tinted windows that will be travelling before and after him. Kreutz gets in the car with the Prez.] * Keiko sighs and looks at the president, purposefully giving him a quick scan because it's fun. * Jamie turns to Rose and tugs on her sleave. * Roseli looks to Jamie. I, uhm... maybe found one. * Luana turns around towards Jamie, the fire disappearing instantly. Maybe? (No more fire? Someone call Dragonforce, they have some to spare.) I... there's something moving in in one of the apartments. Watch, confirm, and fire once confirmed. (Okay, so seriously, we did discuss with the guy a way for US to get there, right?) * Jamie nods and moves the gyrojet copter and one of small ones into position. One to get a fireing angle and one to try and see what's going on in there. ( You tell me. ) ( See. This is why we usually RP it and have 2 sessions worth of planning that you always enjoy.) (Then yes, we did, because that seems like an obvious thing to bring over the couple of hours, esp. since they want us to be there.) (So what did they arrange?) (Ideally, we would have a car that either matched theirs, or one that was totally different as we followed on side streets. I'd think.) ( They have a car for you to follow in IF that's what you want to do. ) ( Like I said, you tell me. ) (Then these are facts you should tell us. :P) (Okay, thanks! How far away is the podium again?) (And I do believe we shall take the car and there was an agreement that Heinrick is never to drive again.) (Luana could drive.) (Keiko can drive!) ( The parade is planned to take half an hour. ) (Pick n'move!) [You all pile into the same car. Who's driving?] (Togo should drive.) (Luana!) (Rose) (Rose yes.) (It's be like that scene in Sneakers) (er, it'd) * Roseli goes to drive, yup! (Keiko, Keiko, I need more votes! Vote- agh, too late!) (They need us for fire support, so to speak.) [Rose is driving! The procession begins. Sure enough, people are already waiting to see the President, and they waste no time cheering as he stands up in the back of his convertable and waves.] (Just imagine. With another guardian, Luana could've been dressed in sequins and codenamed Disco Inferno.) (Just out of curiosity, it *is* more van-ish so we're not uber-cramped in, yes?) (Maybe it's like one of his limo things!) (*ponders Rose drives, Togo shotgun, Heinrick behind Rose, Jamie in the center, Luana in Keiko's lap.) (That was the other option. ( It's a roomy car, but it's still a car. ) (Man, are you just trying to add injury to insult?) (Is this other guardian Rei Ueda or something?) * Heinrick takes the middle row, behind Rose, before Jamie makes that suggestion OOC. Because middle is good for him. (Window seat.) (Jamie and Keiko don't really need window seats for what they do.) * Luana also takes a window seat, as she's kind of useless if she can't see what she's firing at. * Jamie winds up in the middle, because small and the least need to see/fire out. (Yeah, but that puts me in the trunk. Or on Luana's lap.) [There's baloons! But no confetti.] * Togo rolls down his window, because he can't see through windows. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. * Keiko sits on Luana's leg, her own legs turned inward so as to not land on Jamie. She isn't looking at Luana, and it's very unliekly she could be sitting like this without a little floating. She has her lips pressed together tightly as she tries to feel around mentally. [Keiko feels a couple hundred minds.] (Didn't say it was easy!) (* Togo sticks his head out the window and lets his tongue hang out, the wind whistling in his sockets) [The parade rounds a corner, people cheering all the way. The Pres sure looks happy.] * Luana looks out and mostly waits for people to tell her to throw fire at. (NO. BAD JESSE. *newspaper whaps*) * Keiko murmurs out loud, "I can't catch bullets, you know." (*tell her what to) (To whom?) * Roseli just drives. No comment. (Nobody in particular! She's annoyed at the impossibility of the mission!) (To throw fire at, I missed a word in there) * Jamie says softly. "Target confirmed." ( Your face is impossible. ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-5) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 2. (To be fair, we do get a rockin' soundtrack for that.) She's... gone back inside. Track her. Which building? And floor. Need location, Jamie. * Jamie gives the locaton of that hotel she mentioned earler and a room number. ( Y'mean the apartment? ) (Yes, sorry) (Is that within my 100 meters?) ( Hell no. ) * Heinrick looks around the parade track for anything suspicious. * Roseli nods and hits the coms: "Sniper spotted at . Get police on it if possible." 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 9. * Heinrick points up to a building just in front of the first car. "Does Jamie have any additional choppers to check up at that point?" * Roseli glances. "Jamie?" * Jamie nods. Get on it. * Jamie takes a small one off patroll and set it on station there. (Are we within 100 meters of the lead car? I hope so.) (Well, lead/president.) ( The pres isn't in the lead. ) ( He's in the one after the lead. ) ( Then there's another MiB car, and then you guys ) (Yes, that's why I added the clarifiction.) ( But yes ) (Not actually decoy cars I imagine though.) (I wish I had my decoy cars. :() (Prez sux) * Keiko looks down to Luana, then back out the window as she runs her fingers over her collar, and her weight falls more on Luana, her open hand grabbing onto the seat. She says quietly, "Sorry." [And then suddenly one of the baloons turns into the giant face thing, causing people to immediately point, scream and run in all directions panicking.] [Kreutz pulls the President back into the car and shouts into the radio, "Target spotted! I'm getting the President out of here!"] * Roseli spots that and shouts, "Togo!" ( Annnnnd I'm gonna need init rolls ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 20. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 18. ( Though the fact that you're all in a car is limiting. ) 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 18. 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 25. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 18. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. (As opposed to us all running slower than the car could take us? ;P) (Unless the parade stopped) d4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d4) and gets a natural 2 for a result of 2. [Togo!] (How far away is the face thing?) ( Mmm... About 25 meters, I'd say. ) (And the car is still moving?) ( Only at 20 mph for the moment. ) (Still don't think any of us can run 20 mph) * Togo reaches into his coat, pulls out his Winchester rifle, leans out the window, and fires a bolt of white energy at the face thingee. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. [Togo shoots it head on. (get it? lol) The thing makes a deep-voiced grunt.] [Keiko!] (How heavy's it?) ( I dunno. ) ( I guessssss... ) d80 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d80) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. ( 30 lbs. ) (Sweet.) (That's even less kilograms) * Keiko tries to get a grip on him and then, with him being so light, throw him at the ground. ( I have no idea what a giant disembodied head covered in eyes would weigh ) (I don't know, either, so it's pretty random!) (As long as it's less than 71 pounds, I'm good!) (To toss he.) (Slam dunk!) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 2. ( Anywho, it's two manuvers. The grabing then the throwing. ) (Two actions? Well, then, that's the grapple.) [And Keiko gets a hold of the thing.] (And I only have one action and am not Rose, so I guess that's it?) [It doesn't seem to appreciate that, as instead of attacking the president, one of it's eyes whips towards your direction and spits out some goo. Rose, gimme a ranged def!] (With the attack penalty from being grappled, yes?) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 9. (Fail!) ( Mm.. I thought that penalty was +2 ) ( But it's +4 ) (It's pretty hefty, yes.) [So Rose is pretty lucky that the glob of whatzit doesn't hit the car. It hits the street right next to the car, and she can hear a hissing sound and see steam rising out the window.] [Luana!] * Luana puts a hand on Keiko's waist to steady her and reaches another hand out at the head, flinging out a fireball. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. [And Luana sets the big head thing on fire. It's not a happy head.] [Heinrick!] (Should've spent more points in defensive skulls.) (It doesn't help that it's grappled.) * Heinrick takes out one of his knives, shifts it around, and hucks it high into the air at the head. Let's hope this finishes it and we can get back to business. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. (Bad aiming. Bad.) [Heinrick does not knife the big head. Dang it.] (We're not driving very fast, for the record. What's the penalty at?) ( +2 ) (+2) ( Which prolly should have applied to Luana's attack, though it wouldn't make a difference. ) [Kreutz puts the pedal to the metal and takes off down a side street.] (I have Steady Hand) [Jamie!] ( Ok then. ) (Is Kreutz driving the president's car?) (I probably would if I'd spent points.) ( Yep ) * Jamie aims and takes another shot at her designated target. ... we're being filtered into a trap. Only reason they'd attack like this. 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. (And are we immediately behind them?) * Keiko mutters, 'You think? It'd be nice if another mind showed up." Obviously. But the threat in front of you is still a threat. * Roseli nods in agreement with Togo. * Togo nods. [Togo!] * Togo adjusts his aim as he leans out the window, and fires another shot from his Winchester. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (made) [Togo blasts the head again. Poor head.] [Keiko!] (... Is everybody out of the car but me and Rose?) (We're still in the car!) (No, we're all still in the car. Leaning out the windows) (When did *Rose* get out of the car?) * Jamie points at the rooftop that Heinrick told her to watch and says slightly louder than normal "Kalim." * Keiko ignores being held as she tries to smash the head into the pavement, at weapon speed. It's helpful when the enemies are light. (Don't know if you want me to use grapple throwing, or improvised weapons throwing.) ( Throwing ) (Improvised weapons would be if you were throwing something *at* him, I think.) (They're both throwing!) (And you're not throwing the ground at his face.) ( Grapple throwing ) (Although that would be impressive!) (It would be, yes.) 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-6) and gets a natural 4 for a result of -2. (Also, Brett, you skipped my turn. But we can assume I'm driving in full def. and call it even. ;P) ( Oh snap ) 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+1) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 12. (Throw very successful, but I totally lose hold.) [Keiko throws the head into the pavement.] [And then the head sinks through the pavement.] (And then the head *was* the pavement.) ( Which leaves no more targets! Except for Jamie, who needs a def roll for her choppa. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 11. (So totaly failed) * Keiko swallows and then says, "Can't sense him." ( Whatcha doing? ) (Oh, I can do something now? I'm following the prez!) ( Yep! ) * Heinrick nods slightly and keeps an eye on Kalim for a moment, unless the car turns out of sight. [It does! And he does with it.] * Roseli drives after the president as she coms, "Shapeshifter still at large but untraceable. Another assassin spotted in one of the buildings. Still following you. Situation?" [Kruetz responds in a moment. "... Yeah. I've got a visual.] * Togo gets back into the car, and pulls out two intricately etched bullets that he starts reloading into his Winchester. * Keiko murmurs down at Luana the supportive, "Thanks." (A, when did he get out of the car in the first place. B, 20 miles an hour is *still* pretty fast compared to on foot.) * Luana nods and removes her hand while keeping an eye out the window. [Kreutz comes over comms again. "Shit, they've got the road blocked. I'm going to try an alternative route and AGHGHG--" This is followed by loud noises, followed by static. Woot.] ( Also, Rose gimme a driving roll. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. (Spot on if mind!) (I meant more that he came back in from leaning out the window) ( Nope, it's body ) [Rose drives after the Pres! But damn those panicking pedestrians, they get in the way.] Ali Alina's moving. * Heinrick frowns. "Keiko. Can you help clear the way?" * Keiko nods absently at Heinrick, already a half-thought on the way to trying to think people out of the way! ( Mind control rolls! :D ) (How many!) ( All of 'em ) 5 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (5 2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 7 3 4 3 5. (An array of makes.) [Keiko convinces 5 people to get out of the way.] ( Rose, gimme another driving roll! ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (Good lord. Make by one if mind, miss by two if body.) [Dang it, more pedestrians get in your way. You hear gunshots from some distance away.] (Would it be faster just to run at this point? How far is 'some distance' probably?) Luana, throw fire into the middle of the road in front of us, drive the people to the sidewalks. * Roseli curses. "Jamie, GET US A VISUAL." (That was going to be my question.) * Luana moves Keiko slightly and leans out to get a better visual. "Throwing on my mark," she warns Rose. "Mark." And she tosses a fireburst where it will scare the most people out of the way. * Jamie moves her helecopers so she can see what's going on around the corner. * Luana continues to throw out fireballs as is necessary. * Roseli totally drives to avoid the fire and people and augh. (It's fire onto pavement. Not like it's gonna produce sustained flames) ( Rose! Driving roll! ) (Quick! Let's all lean in the direction the car is turning and see if we can get a synergy bonus.) * Jamie 's eyes widen a bit. "We need to get up there. Kamil." Location? Two blocks... *she points west* The car's flipped. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (OMG I MADE IT) (GO ROSE GO) [Woo! Rose tears around the remaining pedestrians and heads to the west!] * Luana sighs in relief and leans back into the car. * Roseli drives and how! (DORIIIIFUTU) [Two blocks later, you come upon a scene. The President's car has been flipped over. Buncha MiBs are on the ground, including Kreutz, and the Pres is cowering away from an Arabian man with a nasty curved sword. Actually he looks kinda like the Prince of Persia. I guess.] * Roseli brings the car to a stop because duh. (Actually.) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-5) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 7. (How far away from the prez is Kamil?) ( About 3 feet. ) ( And we're back in init, sooo.. ) [Togo!] (Oh, it's Kalim) (Not far enough away that just running him over is really feasible.) (... Or is it?) ( You could try a driving roll, but you gonna be sorry if you miss it. ) (Yeah. XP) * Togo gets out of the car, pulling out his assault rifle and firing a burst at the guy with the sword. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (made by 6) [In a mask of plausible coolness, he actually deflects Togo's bullets with his sword. All of 'em. [Then he grabs hold of the President. "Ah ah... No sudden moves."] (... he went before me?) [Keiko!] ( He sure did. ) (Dammit.) (Well, there goes my ability to do anything. Is he shielded?) ( Actually no, he doesn't appear to be. ) (EAT HIS BRANE) (NOM NOM NOM) * Keiko frowns, establishing mental contact and then trying to grasp his mind. ~Let him go.~ (... now I'm picturing Keiko latched onto his head, gnawing through his skull.) (It's what she does.) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 8. (Make by 2. In theory!) [In theory! But you'll have to wait to see if it actually worked.] [Meanwhile... Rose!] (You know what would have been a good idea? Having Luana pretend to be the president in the open-top car. That would have been a GOOD idea.) (He never would have agreed.) (Because he is dumb.) (I know, but it would still be a GOOD IDEA.) (Just sayin'.) (I agree!) * Roseli gets out of the car. She also makes no sudden moves. [Luana!] (The president wouldn't have agreed to any of our good ideas.) (What about... putting Togo in the first car. That would have been a good idea.) ( And yet he's in charge! ) * Luana gets out of the car, one of her guns in hand. She just holds it at her side, though. [Heinrick!] * Keiko slips off Luana's lap as she steps out! Less awkward. * Heinrick steps out of the car carefully. His hands are where Kalim can see them. No sudden movements. ( This is where a rocket booster attachment to my arm at my elbow would have been useful. Perhaps next time.) (HEINRICK PUUUUUUUUUNCH!) (Sounds like an excellent plan.) [You all get out of the car except Jamie and Keiko! Which.... Could be a problem for them, since it suddenly floats twenty feet into the air.] [Jamie!] (Keiko got out. It says so.) (It does?) * Jamie doesn't make a move to get out of the car, as that'd probabbly qualify as a sudden movement, instead she uses her helecopters to try and find the person doing the lifting. (* Keiko slips off Luana's lap as she steps out! Less awkward.) (Oh, as Luana steps out. nvm) (... yes. Luana steps out.) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (And since when are things flying a problem for Keiko?) (She can't lift a car! But she'll get out of it with Jamie in a second.) [Togo!] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. * Togo steps a bit further away from the floating car, and keeps his gun leveled at the guy with the sword. [Hold action] [Kalim shrugs. "Fine. I didn't really wanna take him hostage anyway. Seriously." And he lets the Prez go! And runs at Togo, quite fast. But fast enough to make it in one round? ... sigh, better go look that up.] (Or rather, fast enough for him to counter Togo's held action? :D) ( Oh yeah, he can easily make it to Togo ) ( Togo does have a held action, though. ) (BOOM HEADSHOT) * Togo fires a burst at the guy with his assault rifle as he charges. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. (Made by 1. Boo) (Needed more bulletses.) (Dicey has no sense of drama) [He skips to the side whilst still moving forward as he dashes towards Togo, then leaps, bringing his sword down from over head with both hands.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 9. (Whoops) [That's not too pretty. He brings his sword down square on Togo's shoulder, his blade biting deep into it.] * Togo gurgles out something that resembles a scream of pain. [Even with the armor, yes.] d3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d3) and gets a natural 1 for a result of 1. ( Heinrick! Gimme a hearing check at.... ) ( +1! ) (Can I try to make that?) * Luana screams. "Togo, Togo!" ( No, but Jamie can make a sight check at ... ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. ( +3 ) 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+1) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 11. (no.) ( But there's not much point, because Heinrick made it. Sooo.... ) (I R hearer.) (Where's our police backup anyhow?) [Despite Togo's screaming, Heinrick hears ever so faint a sound behind him, which means he has the option to roll a defense roll at a +2 ( Psssh. Those mooks? ) (I'm the one with a -10 hearing check x_x) (Ranged or melee?) ( Probably controlling the crowd and trusting the extras to deal with the threats. ) ( Melee ) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-1) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 9. * Heinrick whips around as he hears the sound and prepares to brace himself as best he can. Which apparently isn't good enough at all. [Nope. Heinrick whips around to find Mayumi, the bikini-clad ninja. Luckily, by turning, he doesn't get a needle in the back of his spine. It just goes through his stomach instead. Like, all the way through.] [Keiko!] 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-5) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 3. (Is the Ninja also open?) (Or mind shielded? Or non-detectable?) ( She's wearing a black bikini, thigh-high boots, a face mask and black tekko, so yeah, she's pretty open ) (On the mental front.) ( Oh. She's got some kinda shield, yah. She's a ninja. ) * Keiko murmurs, "Watch it," as she floats both herself out of the car, her own shield coming into play as she goes floating down towards the ground. She MCs at swordsy, ~Little ninja's gonna take your kills,~ while thinking at Luana, ~Focus, Lu.~ 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 8. (Another Mkb2.) [Hokay! Well, while that's happening, another guy appears. The Russian dude. He's wearing one of those fuzzy brimless Russian hats. And he cracks his knuckles. "Finally.... I've been looking forward to this... Luana Hall!" But he doesn't exactly do anything besides that, so...] [Rose!] (What the hell!) (He just likes the way your name sounds. In Russian, 'Luana Hall' means 'Really Delicious Vodka') (Hey, it's someone who's not my nemesis!) * Roseli moves to grab the ninja chick - or try, since she's a ninja and all - and stick a gun to her head. * Roseli also, er, hits the buttons on her bracelet. It was going to happen eventually. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. (And I so made that.) [Rose so made that. Or would have, had she not been fighting a ninja. As it is, the ninja just backflips away from her.] [Luana!] * Luana bites down on her scream and raises her gun up at Kalim, firing. (Homing Bullet) * Heinrick stumbles away from the strike kind of woozily and smirks slightly. "Ah. Ergasthenenicine. Excellent." 2d8-7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-7) and gets a natural 3 for a result of -4. (Ward conditioning + genuinely liking your guardian. It's so fun!) [Luana fires at Kalim! Whoooooo dodges. He's one hell of a dodger, apparently. DOn't let me forget that has homing.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick tries to make himself concentrate and keep half an eye on the president as he throws some explosive agents in the ninja's direction. Because those are rather harder to dodge. In theory. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. [The President cowers.] ( Rose is near enough for AoE to hit her, you know ) ( Aight, well, Rose, gimme a ranged drf roll. ) ( drf ) ( So much the drf ) (DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH DRF KING OF HEROES?) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. (Fail by two.) (Er, three.) (I thought the ninja bounded far enough away. >.>) ( Not that far away ) (Being clearer on that front would have helped then!) [On the plus side, the ninja is singed by explosions. On the minus side, so is Rose. Heinrick can blame it on the poison or something.] (Heinrick's not going to throw if Rose is in the way, Brett. :P) ( Ok then. ) (Unless it literally *is* a poison effect.) (How late do you plan on running tonight, so I know?) ( Soon as this round ends. ) * Heinrick throws the blades instead. Blades are more focused. ( Gonna need to roll for that X: ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 10. (I was thinking that the same throw roll would apply but meh. :P) [Heinrick throws the knives, but they don't hit so well as the explosions would have. On the plus side, Rose isn't knifed.] ( Nooooow.... how do I do this? ) (Kill us all and call game over?) [The floating car suddenly stops floating. In fact it falls straight for Luana.] ( Luana needs a ranged def at +1, and Jamie needs... I guess a body roll. ) ( Or body - acro if you want to try to jump out of the car on the way down. ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 12. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. (failed by lots) (Man, I hope that damage absorbtion totally kicks in.) ( And I don't see any rules for damage by weight. ) (Throwing heavy things) (Don't have my book on me, atm.) (If it was indeed thrown.) ( Ah, here it is ) (Now aren't we glad we didn't get a van? =P) (We were actually all in a clown car. Luana takes 5 damage.) [Well. Luana is hit by a car as it comes crashing to the ground. Fortunately for her, she isn't trapped underneath it, but still.... it's a car. A big one at that. Jamie doesn't fare much better, being inside the vehicle. In fact, lacking the armor Luana has, she's quite a bit worse off.] (Jamie always seems to get stuck inside falling vehicles.) [Jamie] * Jamie is full of ow, but has suffered worse and if she can find whoever did this she intends to fill them with more pain. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 2. (How much armor does Luana have?) (Assloads) [Alright, I'm ending it here. Don't let me forget about Luana's homing bullet, or that Jamie made that last sight check.] [End]
