[Date: Wed., Feb 9th. Time: 11:00 p.m. Location: Milan, rooftop of the Mariotti hotel.] [You are gathered on the hotel's rooftop, where a chopper is landing, just now, a sleek black one that doesn't make a whole lot of noise (though it makes enough that it couldn't be called "stealth"). When it sets down, the pilot hops out and says something to Alysha in Italian. They exchange a few words before he heads for the rooftop.] [Start] [Alysha turns about towards Gordo with a big grin. "Ta dah! I told you I'd get you a military grade chopper next time. Even if it's only a little one."] * Gordo cracks his knuckles. "Aye, the '4's a pretty little bird. Do you know which engine she has?" [Alysha's grin falters. "Um... A big one?"] * Sonia looks his new chopper up and down, then chuckles slightly. * Montana is all stealth suited up, and any reaction he has to the chopper is completey hidden by that mask of his. No hat - it is the sadness. * Gordo laughs. "Lets find out then, shall we?" Then he climbs in. * Nigel takes his crossbow out and sets it on his lap as he climbs into the chopper. [The chopper's a DH-1260, Italian manufactured. Don't bother looking it up, I invented it just now.] * Montana looks to Sonia. "Meet you there." * Shiho gets in, wearing her usual dark clothes and her weapons at her sides. * Gordo blinks at the typecard as he's preflighting. "A sixer... I've gone blind in my old age." [It's a small personel chopper meant primarily for urban use, i.e. shuffling troops around quickly during military crackdowns. It's got twin machineguns, but those are its only weapons. Actually, naaaaah. [Alysha grins from the rooftop. "That'll make the flight interesting." I'm goin' with her. You guys show up after we get there; it'll make a better distraction that way. I'm going in from the roof, remember. You'd think the extra three inches of boom and the ammo bins'd stand out more... Right, and we're express to the courtyard. * Sonia looks at Montana, half-shrugs, and then says, "However you want, boy." * Montana gives Sonia a half-shrug back, then heads over the side of the hotel and down the wall for great driving. [Alysha waves. "Good luck! I'll just wait here sipping fine Italian wine and waiting to hear the good news." See yer at the point. Everybody else, hands and feet inside, less you want to leave them behind. * Gordo applies power and takes off. Don't get kidnapped while we're gone, boss. Alysha laughs. "I'll try not to." (How far down is the roof, anyway?) ( Oooo... 40 floors. ) (Okay!) ( Umm? ) (?) * Sonia jogs her way down the stairs quickly to join Montana, driving her car around the corner to meet him1 "Evening, sailor." ( I guess I need Montana and Sonia in #mc5-2 ) (So, I'll at least look to see if I can see anybody else breaking in before I drop the distractors) (Okay!) * Nigel loads his crossbow and gets it ready to do the shootings when the time comes. [You head to the Natural History Museum, where it isn't immediately obvious if anyone is there yet. But roll sight anyhow.] (Any IR ger in the chopper?) ( Nope ) 2d6+4 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+4 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 10. [Incidentally, you do notice the lights are on in the museum. Probably for the security guards.] ( I did kinda mean for everyone to roll, but... ) [Gordo notices nothing unusual.] (Ah! I thought you were just talking to Gordo, because he asked) 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. Nigel and Shiho notice something! Maybe? Hard to tell, but it looks like something moved on the roof. But given how dark it is...] Don't see Montana's little friends here yet, so I'll just touch down lightly and let you lot on your way. * Sonia comms to the other group, ~How does it look.~ * Shiho tries to take a better look out the window. "I might've seen something move. On the roof." * Nigel comms back ~I think there might be a bugger on the roof... can't right see very well~ * Montana comms, ~Sounds like the competition. May want to do something about that.~ ~Aye.~ Who here wants to jump outta a moving chopper? I'll go. * Nigel shakes his head. "Not really my thing, mate." (Stupid Shiho, always beating Nigel to what he's saying. =P) * Gordo nods. "Best of luck to ye. In twenty, I'll cut the power and autoroter in sidways all quite." 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 11 for a result of 17. * Shiho moves over to the door. "Right. Good luck on your end, guys." * Gordo brings the chopper into position and then cuts the power to the engine in one of the crazy helecopters really shouldn't be able to do that manouvers. * Shiho waits until the helicopter is over the roof and close enough, and jumps out. * Brett2 has joined #mc5 ( Mmm ) * Brett has quit IRC (Ping timeout) * Brett2 is now known as Brett * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett (Your connection is full of hat) ( Soooo... what'd I miss? ) (What's the las you saw?) ( Last I saw was Shiho jump to the roof. ) (Then you missed nothing) [Shiho lands on the roof. Unlike the rest of the museum, it's not architecturally impressive, though it does have vents, fans and the like. It's also dark up here, very dark.] ( Gimme a hearing check. ) 2d6+7 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 10 for a result of 17. (Sorry, computer lagged, first one counts) * Gordo converts airspeed back into altitude and then turns the engine back on. "For those of you making a sanemans exit from the aircraft we'll be touching down shortly." [Shiho hears something from the side of the building!] * Montana gets up the side, over, and starts moving as quietly as possible over to the roof entrance. His infrared's so on up here. * Gordo lands Nigel a bit farther away from the museum. "Best of luck to ye." * Nigel nods and hops out of the chopper and begins heading towards the museum. * Shiho draws her sword and moves towards the noise. [The noise turns out to be Sonia.] (Assumedly, the noise was us?) * Sonia follows up over the side a few moments later, a silvery suit wrapped around her in a not-fully covering fashion, but still all over. She looks back at Shiho through her sunglasses. "Hi." (It's true - I'm the one with full suit coverage!) [Meanwhile Montana gets to the door. It's locked!] * Shiho lowers her sword. "Hey. Thought I saw something up here a minute or two ago." * Montana eyebrow raises and comms, ~Door down is locked. Strange.~ Nevertheless, he slips a lockpick out from his vest and goes about solving that 'locked door' problem. ( Gimme a lockpick roll! ) * Gordo gets back in the air where he's not a sitting duck. * Sonia nods and replies, "Thought it likely." (Does my 10 meter sonicsense pick up anyone else on the roof?) ( Ummm Hm. ) 2d6+10 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 9 for a result of 19. (Approx. 30 feet! So that's not small.) ( Well gimme a perception roll and we'll see :P ) [Meanwhile Montana unlocks the door.] 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. * Montana slips in, closing the door softly behind him. (Hopefully I get some sort of 'it's not bloody dark to me' bonus.) [Sonia doesn't detect anything unusual.] Don't hear anything. I'll do a once-around anyway. * Gordo keeps an eye out and puts IR gear on the list of things to get. ( Is Nigel on the ground? ) * Shiho starts canvasing the roof. ( Shiho, gimme another hearing check. ) (Yes, as that was the original plan.) (Yes) (Gordo dropped me off) ( K ) 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. [As Shiho walks past a vent, she hears something almost too late, as a dark form leaps at her with a stun gun in hand. (gimme a def roll, then roll init)] 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 4 for a result of 11. 2d6+11 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+11 for Shiho and gets a natural 5 for a result of 16. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. ( Sonia should probably init roll too ) (You need an init from me?) 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 9 for a result of 14. ( Probably not since you're on the ground. ) The attacker jabs Shiho in the shoulder, electricity coursing through her before she manages to break away. He's a tall one, dressed in dark, with curly black hair. Arguably handsome, though his nose is a bit big and round.] [Order is Shiho, Dark Man, Sonia] 2d6+12 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+12 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 17. * Shiho can't restain a shriek and curse from getting electrocuted, but she does manage to swing her sword up at the dark man once she isn't being stun gunned. ( It's Shiho's turn] ) 2d6+8 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 15. [The man moves back, but not fast enough to avoid a shallow wound along his chest. He curses in some Eastern European language.] [Then he attempts to jab Shiho with the stun gun again.] 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. [This time he's unable to land a strike, though, missing Shiho by mere inches.] [Sonia.] * Sonia pulls up her pistol and takes a sonic shot at the dark man. ~One big-nosed guy curly-haired guy on the roof, Montana.~ 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. [The man notices Sonia just in time to hop back as her blast destroys a vent.] * Sonia makes a 'tch' noise. * Gordo brings the chopper up. ~Want me to light him up?~ ( Mmm, everyone else roll init too. ) ( May as well do everyone at once. ) 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. (That'd be my attack, and.) 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. (Init.) 2d6+4 ( brb sec ) * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+4 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 13. 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 4 for a result of 9. ( Back, sorry about that. ) ( Mmm ) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 12 and a modified 18, a CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Astonishing! May I borrow your pituitary gland for a moment? You'll get it back good as new, I promise!" [Gordo's turn] (Using one action to get into position, holding the other until somebody says if they want air support on this or not.) ( Also Gordo gimme a sight check ) 2d6+4 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+4 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 9. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 9. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 9. [K.... Nigel's turn! Gimme a sight check also] 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 5 for a result of 12. (Can I get to where the fighting is happening?) ( Not unless you've got some way to quickly scale the museum. ) * Chibi_Vernon has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) ( Blah ) (He'll be back in a sec.) * Chibi_Vernon has joined #mc5 * Nigel begins running towards something and comms ~Hey. There's another chopper coming in and some bloke yelling at them. I'm going to intercept." [Nigel heads towards the bloke.] [Shiho!] * Shiho steps in toward the man and thrusts her sword forward. 2d6+8 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 8 for a result of 16. * Gordo kicks the tail roter and the throttle to get into a firing position on the new chopper and fires a couple of warning shots at it in hopes of preventing it from adding any more people to the party on the ground. [Shiho grazes the man's side, blood spurting from the wound. He grimaces, trying to jab her with his stun gun.] 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 10 for a result of 17. [Which she easily avoids.] [Sonia!] * Sonia repeats her plan of delivering the sonic shoots as she takes cover. ~We're fine up here, but the incoming ain't good.~ 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 11 for a result of 17. [Sonia's blast strikes the man with a harsh impact, and he nearly topples then and there, but somehow manages to stay on his feet.] [And suddenly the alarm sounds!] [Gordo!] [The approaching chopper doesn't seem like it's going to turn off.] * Gordo sighs and takes some real shots at the other chopper. 2 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 5 7 ) for a result of ( 12 14 ). [Unfortunately, Gordo fails to actually hit the thing. It fires back in retaliation.] [Montana!] 2d6+8 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+8 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 17. [Gordo easily dodges!] 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 11 for a result of 17. [The second man is running towards the museum, unaware that Nigel is running towards him.] [Nigel's turn] * Nigel raises his crossbow "Oy! You're going to need an expert in egyptology to appraise whatever you steal. Why don't you slow down and I can help you out." He fires. 2d6+7 (why didn't that work?) (Actually these guys are here for the classic Italian car exhibit on the second floor.) (Cham's in disconning mode.) * Chibi_Vernon has quit IRC (Ping timeout) * Walrus_Vernon has joined #mc5 2d6+7 * Walrus_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 9 for a result of 16. [Nigel sends a bolt through the guys arm. He howls in some foreign language, draws a pistol and fires back.] [And then we're back to Shiho.] ( Actually ) ( Would anyone be opposed to calling it here? ) (Nope) (I have work early tomorrow, so that's fine with me) ( Ok, soon as nigel makes a def roll ) (Can do.) (Playing is good. So is being awake at work! Thanks for running.) (Man, I work at a Starbucks. I'll be awake, the question is how much caffeine it'll take and whether I'll start shaking.) ( Nigellll ) (Hm?) (You're getting shot at!) (Okay) 2d6+6 * Walrus_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. [He misses. END]
