[Day: Satuday, Feb. 4th. Time: 7:30 p.m.] [Having been forcefully hired as a security team to defend Site D-34 from an iminent attack, you headed for the oil well, only to discover the attackers were from some international group and were after a phoenix egg, apparently. General Maric turned out to be among them, along with a white, big cybernetic guy, a black cybernetic girl, A white-haired dude in a white trenchcoat with a big sword, and an Important Looking bikini ninja.] [Maric sacrificed his underling, the loyal... whatever his name was, to buy time for everyone to escape. But you blew him apart quick and Sonia started to catch up. The big cybernetic guy, who answers to Brick, stayed behind while the others took an elevator to the surface.] [I'm not sure if I need to say anything else, so we'll just got with that.] [Shiho, Brick, Gordo, Sonia, Montana, Nigel] (is combat order) ( And also ) ( There's still 2 mote cloudes left, they go after Gordo ) ( Annnnnnd....... ) (Have I used any of my defences this turn?) ( Everyone's on the lower floor of the room except Brick, Sonia and Montana. It'll take Shiho a turn to get to the upper floor where they are, and 2 for everyone else. ) ( Hell if I know. ) [Start!] (You used one.) * Shiho books it for the upper floor! (As did Shiho.) (But she'll refresh in a second!) (Thanks.) [Brick, who you're totally not supposed to be fighting so early, unloads with the chaingun in his arm at Sonia.] ( I forgot how to run these things :x ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 11 for a result of 16. 2d6+4 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Gordo and gets a natural (12), a CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Ah, then this IS the reality where you're kicking ass. My apologies, I'll amend my notes." (... I think I made my def rolls. @_@) (... why are you defending?) (I am the one who just got shot at.) ( Yeah... >.> ) (He meant they go _after_ Gordo.) (Not they _go after_ gordo.) (Oh, I thought "they go after Gordo" ment that, yes) ( ._. ) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. [Sonia manages to stay hidden around the corner, pulling back a bit as oh so many bullets eat away at it.] [Gordo!] * Gordo moves to catch up with everybody else upstairs, and just to play with mechanics tries to hit two motes with one bullet. He other attack is normal though. 2d6+4 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Sonia and gets a natural 6 for a result of 10. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+3 for Gordo and gets a natural 10 for a result of 13. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. (So, two of them have to make deff rolls against the 13, and one against the 12) [Gordo manages to pierce several motes. The remaining ones swirl around before flying for...] 2 d5 * Dicesuke rolls 2 1d5 for Brett and gets a natural ( 2 4 ) for a result of ( 2 4 ). * Sonia stays flat against the wall, gritting her teeth as she says quietly, "Sure. Big gun totin' puppies." Her eyes flick to Montana for a moment over her glasses. [Montana and Shiho.] ( I hope you don't get hit, because I don't remember what they're supposed to do. ) * Montana peeks around the corner, looking for anything approaching a weak point on the cybernetic guy. ( Gimme a judge opponent check! ) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural (12), a CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Astonishing! May I borrow your pituitary gland for a moment? You'll get it back good as new, I promise!" (Dicey, I missed you so much.) [Montana sees no big flashing light saying "Yo, shoot here." Anywhere on the big man. As near as he can tell, the guy's built like a brick.] [Shiho meanwhile avoids the motes in a probably fancy manner. They splatter on the ground where she was.] * Montana frowns a little, then aims for the guy's knee and fires. That done, he ducks back behind the corner and blends. ( Gordo needs to roll still. ) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. [Will Montana's aim be true? Will Brick live a few more rounds? Find out, after Gordo rolls!] 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 11 for a result of 16. ( Spoiler alert: He hasn't been touched yet :P ) (Sorry ^^;) [Gordo avoids the motes in a much less awesome manner than Shiho. All the same, that's the end of the more clouds. Montana fires on Brick, but with him filling the corridor with bullets, it's hard to aim without risking losing his hand.] [Nigel's turn] (Hey!) ( Oop ) ( It's not my fault, Montana skipped you first! D: ) (hm we have motes left and the dude that Sonia and Montana are fighting? Anything else?) (Indeed.) ( The motes are gone. Also it's Sonia's turn. ) ( Plus Nigel's on the bottom floor anyhow, it'll take him 2 turns to get up there. ) * Sonia grits her teeth, then yells, "All that metal's gettin' you nowhere, boy!" She pulls out a sonic bead and then quickly looks out to toss it down towards him. Hopefully explosives will work some! (You said cracker bead might break it last time, hopefully sonic bead doesn't.) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 3 for a result of 9. (Tch.) ( I have no idea what that does, description wise. ) [But whatever it is, it doesn't work!] ( Now we're at Nigel ) (It's the sonic explosions she's used before.) [It explodes somewhere past him.] [I'm just assuming Nigel heads for the stairs and jump to Shiho.] (Oh! Sorry_ (It's my turn for real this time!) (Is there anything within crossbow range?) ( Nope! ) (Then yes. That works) * Nigel follows Shiho! [Shiho, being faster than everyone else, gets to the top of the stairs, where she sees Montana and Sonia taking corner cover against a hail of bullets.] (So I'm in danger of the bullets too?) ( Yeah, though you're not techincally being attacked yet. ) * Shiho heads for cover as she fires at Brick. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural (2), a CRITICAL FAILURE! "We've developed an implantable luck generator you could try, if you aren't using that liver..." [Shiho's gun jams! There's a lot of that going on.] (Dicey! I have stopped being grateful for your return.) (:|) "This is getting boring," says Brick, in his Belgian accent, and points his other arm towards the corridor opening. The top of his wrist flips open, revealing 3 mini-rockets. He fires one at the corner where you're taking cover!] ( Everyone who's not Nigel or Gordo, gimme a ranged def roll. ) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Shiho and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. (If that doesn't make it, let me know!) ( It doesn't ) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. (This is gonna suck.) (DR) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. (How about that! :D) ( Nope ) (... Is it possible for me to make it short of a crit? Just checking before I DR again.) ( Yep. ) (DR again!) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. (Okay, clearly dicey wants me to die. I'll save that last one.) [The rocket strikes the corner! The good news is apparently the chamber can stand up to explosives after all. The bad news is... boom.] ( Gimme acro rolls, youse guys. Tumbling spec. Or if you have cat-like, you don't have to roll. ) 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 15. (I have catlike.) (Catlike! I have it.) [The explosion blows apart a good chunk of that corner. Worse, it damages the catwalk, putting a big hole between it and the corridor. And worse still, it blows Sonia, Shiho and Montana right off it. Sonia and Shiho manage to land gracefully on the floor below. Montana.. not so much, but at least he didn't break anything on the way down, either.] [All of ya are hurtin' after that though, especially Shiho, who was already wounded from earlier.] [It's now Gordo's turn. Who needs a turn to get to the top of the catwalk.] ( And when he does he'll have a big hole to contend with o: ) * Montana lands with an angry grunt and does his best to roll to his feet, or at least not hurt so badly. (How big is this hole?) (Just out of curiosity, can I get up to the catwalk on the other side of the room from the coridor and shoot him from way over there? Possibly from behind some sort of cover?) ( Nope. ) * Sonia gets blown free, a clipped yell coming from her, and her body spinning in the air after the explosion. She lands on her feet and hands, panting slightly. "Wish I'd... known that..." ( The hole's about... say 4 ft. in diameter. Or circumference? I get those confused. Either way, walking around it is pretty unfeasable. You'd need to either jump it or make a balance check. ) (Diameter works.) * Shiho lands on her feet, but lets out a pained yell and falls down to her knees. (And I can't shoot at him from this side of the hole?) ( Nope ) ( Gordo needs a turn to get up there anyhow ) ( Well ) ( An action anyway ) ( You can use your other jumping the hole if you want. ) Nrg. 'd try to disarm him but it's his fucking ARM. * Gordo shakes his head to clear the ringing and runs up to where the hole is. "I didn't sign on for this sort of nonsense" He tries to edge his way around the hole. 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 10 for a result of 15. [Gordo manages to tippy toe around the hole.] [Sonia!] * Sonia grits her teeth. "Let's disfeet him, then," and pulls out a different, larger bead, more the size of a baseball, which she lobs up towards Brick. ( That's gonna take a .... Hm ) (Cracker Bead.) ( With some sort of penalty, seeing as how she has to arc it. ) ( Say +2 ) (-2!) (Sure.) ( -2 ) (Full attack! Yeahhh.) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 5 for a result of 12. [Sonia lobs a bomb up past Gordo! But it falls short of reaching Brick, who's retreating further towards the elevator in the back.] [Montana] * Gordo shouts down. "Fell short, throw the next one harder!" * Montana grunts again, getting to his feet. He waits for the bomb to explode, and then he's speeding for the wall again, jumping to the catwalk, jumping over the hole... you get the idea. * Montana takes the ceiling route this time, running up the corridor wall towards the ceiling and firing from there. 2d6+7 * Gordo makes a mental note to get back into shape, Montana's making him look bad. * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. (To be fair, I totally cheat.) [Montana hits! He scores a bullet in the man's lower abdomen, which possibly hurts him, though it's hard to tell as it clearly had trouble with penetrating the guy's thick skin. But hey, he's bleeding now. Or leaking. Or something.] [Nigel] ( Who needs a turn to get there ) (Hm...) (I'm still out of crossbow range, right?) ( Yah ) (Okay. If I get to the edge of the hole can I shoot?) ( You have to cross the hole first. ) (Okay. And I can do that next turn? Or this turn?) ( Next one. ) (Okay.) * Nigel continues to run! (Seems about the best I can do =P) [Shiho] * Shiho giggles suddenly. "Dis-ARM. His arm!" She sits down properly and clutches her side. "Ow. Not moving. Sorry guys." (Hold action.) [Brick hits the button on the elevator. He also takes the opportunity to unlease a hail of bullets at Gordo.] 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 8 for a result of 13. ( I forget, does attacker or defender win on equal rolls? ) (Attacker) [Gordo takes a bullet to the arm as he desperately tries to avoid the stream.] [Sonia] * Shiho uses her held action to unjam her gun, unless anyone objects terribly. [Shiho unjams her gun!] * Sonia tsses, then yells, as she fixes her own gun and heads up the stairs at a fast speed, "Leave the Egg and the bots won't keep cutting people down!" [Sonia begins running up the stairs! Gonna take a while.] [Montana!] (So is he in the elevator but not going up yet?) (Or is he still outside of the elevator and waiting?) ( He's waiting ) * Montana snaps his whip out, trying to pull the guy at least slightly off balance, before shooting him again. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. [Brick avoids the whip grab, taking another bullet, this time in the shoulder. It doesn't seem to faze him much. * Montana comms, "Aim for his abdomen." [Nigel! Nigel gets to the top of the stairs, where he finds big hole. He's got to get around it before he can start fighting Brick.] ( It's acro (tumbling) or (jumping). Or it's a free cross if you have the jumping skill. ) (sadly, I do not) (Okay. So it looks like I'm making a straight body roll.) 2d6+4 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Nigel and gets a natural 10 for a result of 14. (That could have been worse) [Nigel jumps the gap, managing to not fall to his death.] (So. Now can I shoot?) (AFK a bit) ( Yep! ) * Nigel takes aim and fires at Brick with his crossbow! (I will take Montana's suggestion of aiming at the abdomen) (What's the penalty?) ( +3 ) (Really? I was guessing +1.) ( -3 :X ) ( Uh ) (Er, -1.) ( I dunno. >_> ) (It's 1, 3, or 6.) ( I guess -1 is fine ) (6 is very vital / hard to shoot spots, like eyes and such.) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. (3 would be hands, feet, joints.) (So a big spot like an abdomen - yeah. :) (Doesn't matter. I rolled like crap =P) (I'm back) [Nigel's crossbow bolt flies past Brick, going *bink* off the elevator door.] [Shiho!] * Shiho gets to her feet unsteadily. "Okay, let's try this again." She starts for the catwalk. [Shiho runs swiftly up the stairs, passing Sonia on the way!] [Unfortunately for the lot of you, the elevator arrives. Brick steps in and hits the button, firing a volley before the doors close. He doesn't seem to be aiming at anyone in particular, just buying himself time. Although..... d7 * Dicesuke rolls 1d7 for Brett and gets a natural (1), a CRITICAL FAILURE! "We've developed an implantable luck generator you could try, if you aren't using that liver..." ( Nope, he doesn't hit anyone. ) [He's gone! Combat over!] * Sonia exhales and says, "The bots are online up top, but the boy with the sword took one out himself quickly... don't know if they'll be able to hold 'em..." Well if that isn't fuck all. Never asked, we have a medic? * Montana drops down from the ceiling, twisting in the air to land on the floor. "Not me." He hits the comms to Alysha: "Everythin' okay up there, ma'am?" * Sonia manages a slight smile. "I can weld someone closed if we need it. Or usage bandages or whatever normal people like." * Nigel shakes his head and looks thoughtful. ["Yeah," Alysha comms back, "They're pulling out, I think."] I'll pass on the spot weld if it's all the same ta you. "They got the item, whatever it was. We took one out and tried to stop another, but it was just stallin' for time." * Sonia chuckles faintly and murmurs, "Just toyin' with you. I'm no doctor but I know my way around an organ or two." * Shiho sits on the stairs and raises her hand gingerly. "I'm in some pain, if you want to take a look." * Nigel shakes his head again. "Let's get patched up and get going. We should probably report back, hadn't we?" ["Damn... Okay, head back to the control room when you can. Is everyone okay? I can get medkits ready."] They'd be 'preciated. (What's tge guy in charge's name? again?) ( Yasen Stoyanov ) * Nigel comms. "Alysha... is Stoyanov there?" ["Yeah. He's screaming at his security, but he's here."] * Montana looks to the others while Nigel hits the comms. "Let's head back up." So saying, he does so. Now that the adrenaline's wearing off, he's really not looking so hot - rocket, long fall, and all. * Sonia slowly catches up to Shiho and nods, crouching on the stairs. "Tellin' ya. Subdermal armor." She makes a motion as she puts her hands in her own pockets. "Show me your pain, girl." * Nigel nods. "Get him on a comm. I need to talk to him. Now." [There's a pause, then: "This is Stoyanov," says the commander.] * Nigel narrows his eyes. "Stoyanov.... do you know what you had down here?" * Shiho takes her shirt off carefully. She's wearing a black sports bra underneath. (I'm not sure what exactly's wrong with her other than her side's hurt, though.) (That is up to Brett! It sounds mainly like concussive damage. Bruises, plus the earlier side injury.) * Brett has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (The side injury was described earlier as [The wound is fairly deep, but not crippling.] ) (Oh no, Brett!) * Nigel has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Brett has joined #MC5 * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett * Nigel has joined #mc5 (Okay, well... that sucked. Did Stoyanov respond to me?) [Stoyanov responds, "I did." * Nigel nods. "Then would you care to explain to me what you were doing with a phoenix egg?" * Nigel shakes his head. "Furthermore, could you explain where the hell you GOT one?" ["I am commander of Site Dilov-34. It is not my place to discuss my country's internal affairs. I've done enough damage sending you there as it is; you know more than you should."] * Gordo mutters something about airstrikes. * Nigel chuckles. "Well when you decide to hire somebody to get back your phoenix egg, it would probably be a good idea to tell them what they are going up against. Just keep it in mind." (Okay, are we all heading up at this point?) [There's a long pause, then Alysha says, "Wow, you totally pissed him off."] ( I was thinking we'd end soon ) (Yeah, after I give Shiho her patchup I'm on the move.) * Nigel shrugs. "Well... When somebody has an item that shouldn't exist... I get interested." ( K, I'm calling it an end. ) * Sonia puts her fingers lightly to Shiho in a few places on her stomach area, humming to herself, then pulls out a hand-sized container which she opens, and it contains a pad inside it. She tears it open with her teeth and puts it softly against Shiho's side. "Yeah, you didn't break too much. This'll make it easy enough to get to the real meds." [It's an end!]
