Initiative Roll - 7+ 2 = 9

 

[Trokair]

Round 0 – None combat structured time.

 

One small vehicle, a converted all terrain farm vehicle by the looks of it, similar to the truck that Colm and his friends had been in. The glare of the sun of the windshield hides how many passangers it has, but at least one figure is visible, standing no doubt whit his upper torso emerging from a roof hatch.

 

Behind it  came a larger vehicle, a cargo hauler, but instead of the standard large scale crate one would expect to see on the rear platform it has been adapted.  Reinforced side plating, extra supplies strapped on and a tarpaulin canvas make shift cover providing shelter over the central space.

 

During Round 0 each play may make a free Ordinary (+10) Awareness Test to see if they can discern any additional details about the two vehicles and its occupants. Varn, Helen and Aria may instead take a Challenging (+0) Perception Test to see if they spot a specific detail relevant to them personally.  

 

During round 0 you will count as having concealment should you do anything that triggers an Awareness test from anybody in the two approaching vehicles.

 

You can take any normal actions aside from attacks (and anything that results in an attack). So for example you could use movement actions to reposition yourself, you could prepare your weapon with a Aim, try to gather details on the approaching vehicles  with a relevant skill use (as a full action – this is separate from the free awareness/perception mentioned above).

 

You each have the equivalent of two full actions or four half actions (or relevant combination thereof) during round 0. You don't have to act in Initiative order at this time.

 

Initiative Order for Round 1

Varn =12

Aria = 11

Kasimir = 9 – Manning Heavy Stabber

Ariel = 6 – In David’s driver’s seat

 

Helene = TBD  @Petragor are you ok to partake at this time? if not I will Autopilot from Round 1

[A.T.]

Aria

 

As the vehicles approached Arias focus was on concealment, using the undulations of the ground to put as much material between herself and the vehicles as possible as she lay low and sighted her rifle. While the silencer on her weapon merely muffled the sound of the shot at this distance it should more than suffice to obscure her position, especially once the heavy stubber on David opened fire.

 

Awareness test - 63 - fail

[Lord_Ikka]

Ravia

 

Ravis crouched down and braced her lascarbine. She aimed at the unknown vehicle, waiting...

[Trokair]

Varn

 

As your observe the two vehicles your gaze appears to meet the figure standing in the roof hatch, but then the others head turns and you can see that he was merely surveying the terrain. Even now he was turning round to look uphill. As he does, for that split second he is profile he strikes you as familiar, a face from your youth.

 

Despite some recently acquired burns it is unmistakable. One of the men, who long ago took part in the raid on your home.

The cleric fastens her helmet and mutters an incantation beneath her breath, praying for the Emperor to guide her party in these trying times.

Helene will be prone, and use a delay action to be able to stand up before her turn starts, if needed.

The enemy counts as surprised, so have no actions round 1. The exception to this is the individual Varn recognized, marked in Dark Red. He was specifically on look out and gets the chance to test awareness in response to some player actions, if he becomes aware before his turn he can act normally, if he becomes aware after his turn would have been he can make a half action instead.

 

Secondly due to the trees in the middle Ravia cannot see the large vehicle clearly, and Aria and Helen cannot see the truck clearly. You may still choose to shoot at these targets respectively (as Aria and Ravia have taken full aim in readiness) but there will be a Very Hard (-30) modifier to hit to account for shooting though trees.

 

Varn, Aria and Ravia can go as convinient

[Machine God]

Varn:

 

Varn seethed at the sight of the Nemesis. Hunter of his Tribe and a killer of the Shivon from what Colm had said. 

 

He slowly and carefully brought his Big Bang Stick up into the aim, and kept it trained on the Nemesis as the lead vehicle moved past the tree lined outcrop of rocks to his front. 

 

 

 

Action: Full Aim

Ravia

 

Ravia sights at the closest vehicle, and gently squeezes the trigger after lining up her sights with the closest target. A bright pulse of las-fire pumps put from the lascarbine.

[A.T.]

Aria

 

Despite their preparations the timing of the attack had been off, the first of the vehicles slipping behind the trees before the first shot was fired. Though it would at least forestall a response.

 

The driver of the second vehicle however presented a clean target and no more appeared behind him... Aria pulled the trigger, even at this distance it was barely possible to miss.

 

Full aimed shot

BS 40 +30(full aim and accurate), +30(surprised target) = 100 vs roll 53 = hit with four extra DoS

Damage 3d10+3 = 6 + 9 + 2 +3 = 20, Pen 0 (body)

[Trokair]

The hunting rifle’s shot might have been near silent, but the shuttering of the hardened windscreen and cry of the driver echoes across the valley. Those of you that have a clear line of sight to large vehicle can see frantic movement inside as one of the others inside tries to steady the driver.

 

In the Lead vehicle, the one designated Nemisis spins around at the noise, then begins to scout round for the source of the attack. However he is interrupted as a las pulse strikes him on the arm and he is forced into the cover of the vehicle.

When they had taken up their position they had not been sure what exact the Bandits would take, as they were further up the slope, and seeing an opportunity to sneak closer Helene dashed forwards in a stooped run.

Ornage

Command (affecting trooper E,F,G,H) to focus on David

 

While the words are hard for you to hear you all catch just enough to recognise rise and fall of ritualistic preaching from the figure that had been standing in the open hatch of the larger vehicle.  

 

Varn and Aria next.

[A.T.]

Aria

 

Heavy weapons, then officers, snipers, specialists... Aria moved her scope across the target ignoring those under fire to target the one who stood tallest.

[Trokair]

Bandit A

Spoiler

Dodge attempt failed

19 Damage – 3(TB) – 3(Armour) – 12(Trucks) =1 Damage taken, Bandit A is dead.

 

While his fellows had hopped out of the vehicle as ordered he went scrambling for the first aid kit, whatever had hit them and tore into the side of the truck had caught him viciously in the arm. Finding it he gobbled a few painkiller pills, wishing they would kick in quicker.  He was just setting out the bandage and dressing kit when the punch to the gut came, preceded fractionally by the pop of part of the side of the truck giving way. With half a prayer on his lips he toppled sideways out of truck.

[Machine God]

Varn:

 

Nemesis' vehicle had moved  behind the treeline, so he had switched his aim to the following Truck.

 

He saw an Others preacher giving out orders so Varn let rip with a full burst from his Big Bang Stick.

Bandits E,F,G,H

Spoiler

Run up to 18 towards and take cover behind rocks SE and downslope for Large Vehicle.

 

Four figures scramble out of a side door and run and slide down the slope and just as quickly disappearing from your sight into the hollow and behind the rocks there.  

 

Ravia next

Edited January 24 by Trokair

[Lord_Ikka]

Annoyed that her shot did little apparent damage, Ravia aimed at the "commander" again.

11 Damage -4Tb -3Armour = 4 Damage taken  

 

Despite having taken cover inside the truck the sudden heat spike of a las hit on his helmet made him wince, he was still a little sore from the fire he barely escaped  two weeks early and the scorched skinn was still healing.

Catching a glimpse of the disembarking bandits Kasimir Swings the stubber round to try and catch them while they are exposed. However by the time he got the right bearing they had disappeared from sight and Kasimir instead strafed the front and side of the larger vehicle.

With his head still hurt he had seen a glint form the las shot. Taking up his rifle and trying to compensate for the motion of the truck he focused on the boulder outcrops to the east, no this one, ah, that one further back.

 

If you fail your Dodge roll by 2DoF or less then you still manage to get partially behind cover and the boulder will provide 8 points of armour.

Seeing the fate of his colleague the driver of the truck sprints his wheels forward into cover from the Heavy Stubber that had racked them so badly.

 

 

Bandits I,J,K,L

Spoiler

I and J exit vehicle in cover behind it and ready weapon, K is stunned and L is checking on K and M,N

 

Two Bandits, carrying a crate between them, jump out of the crashed cargo hauler and take cover behind it. Inside their friend rushes to help those that had been knocked about by the sudden stop.

One figure slides and stumbles down slope to join his friends in cover while the other two open up into the tree were they had seen muzzle flashes, shredding leaves and lesser branches enmass.

 

Ariel

Spoiler

Tactical Maneuvering, 1 Tactical speed, move 12m

 

With their position revealed Ariel saw little point sitting still, instead slowly pushing David forward so that they could get a better sight on the bandits.

Inside the converted cargo hauler one bandit flips open a crate stowed by his feet and grabs its contents while another bandit leaned out and let his autogun rip in the direction of their ambushers.

 

 

Helene next, I'll give it a few days to give @Petragor time, but if he is still bussy I'll auto pilot again. 

[Petragor]

Helene

 

Hearing the preacher from the rear vehicle, the Cleric is filled with fury.

"Cease thy false ministrations Wretch!" she cries as she charges up the Hill.

 

Spoiler

Helene will run towards the preacher's vehicle, if anyone stands between her and it, let me know and I'll roll a charge.

Large Vehicle [1/??]

 

Map,

Some notes:

D,E,F,G,H are all in cover and out of line of sight (aside from Helene who can see most of them).

J and I are out of sight for everybody.

C and B are obscured (-10 to hit) for Aria and C is obscured (=10 to hit) for Ravia.

Truck and Dark Red are out of line of sight of Kazimir and Arieel and obscured (-10 to hit) for Aria and Varn.

Helene –  C and B can be charged, but it is a uphill charge so -5 to hit for your melee attack if you go that way (representing the extra effort to charge uphill). E and D are also in charge range (even though they are further away) as they are downhill from you, the down slop gives you the extra range on your charge).  As all four of these will activate before you note that they may move out of yoru charge range from what is stated here, I’ll try to say when if this happens. Also note that if you go after E and D you will be at the bottom of a step slop in respect of the vehicle and preacher.

Varn, if you climb a tree (half action Ordinary +10) you will be high enough to see D,E,F,Gand H but they would still be obscured (-10 to hit) and/or behind cover.

Questions let me know in OOC.  

 

 

 

 

 

Preacher Orange

Spoiler

Shove dead driver out and take his seat.

 

While you can continue to hear snippets of the preachers chants, he slips out of sight into the interior. Moments later a side door briefly opens and a body is pushed out, the door slamming shut before the body even hit the ground.

 

Varn, Aria next

[A.T.]

Aria

 

Helenes charge had seemed reckless but despite overwhelming advantage the priest facing her had fled, at least for now. While he represented a valuable target his retreat might draw more away than his death.

 

But they would have to advance quickly or their targets would use the shelter to regroup.

 

(Scale question - how far can Arias run of 24 get her?)
