A Knocking Afar

Should I avoid using the reaper launcher this turn since it's likely to be noisy? I can try to position for next turn, or use my sidearm instead.

 

The one I shot at dodged so will probably raise the alarm - may as well hit the most dangerous target you can see before the advantage is lost.

[Akylas]

Took the shot on that kabalite.

I think he migth be dead now. By some margin. 

 

I'll get a IC thread reply up in the next day or so, don't have time right now.
 

I think that leaves only @Black Cohort and @Aknoby to take their actions. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Kabalite: *exists*

Akylas: 'And I took that personally.'

 

[A.T.]

I think Ialandranth might be mispositioned on the map (didn't he jump west?)

 

Regardless the two purple dots to the south past the single DE and the single purple dot to the south east - are these distinct somehow?

[Mazer Rackham]

Could be Saoirse's Phantom?

Directly west would not have given you the line of sight to shoot the Deathspinner (you would have been in the trees), so I moved you more West South West diagonal.

The light purple is Saoirse's Phantom, the dark grey are the dead from last round (as points of reference). 

The map image is quite large by default (1440 by 1080) but the forum dose srink it a bit in thread depednign on how you view the thread. Clicking hte map (or opening it in a seperat tab/window) should display the full sized one).

Is the Phantom incorporeal? Can I shoot through it without effect?

 

I'm debating three red targets. One is "obscured" by the phantom, one is directly in front of the human slaves, and another is just short of 160 m.

Can't rightly recall, but I can stop sustaining it at any time as  Free Action, so I will do that, and clear your line of fire.

From the description of the power I would say you may be able to see through it to an extend (though it would be difficult) but shooting though it would hit it instead. It is material enough to cleave foes in part with its phantom copy sword.

 

I see Maser has provided a solution so for now it is moot, but for future reference, given the size of map and scale as long as the intended target is not to close/obviously behind any intervening targets then you may be able to see past (with potentially a modifier thrown in or such as appropriate).

 

[Akylas]

Sorry I've been out this week. Our dog is having some health issues and some emergency vet visits (he's had back surgery). I'll try to figure out whether to shoot and or run within the day.

[Trokair]

No worries, and best wishes for your dog. 

[Akylas]

Thanks. He's feeling a little better but they still want him back next Wednesday for more testing.

 

Is the due south red Kabalite still alive?

[Trokair]

This round so far the only ones that died where: one red in the center of the map, and one orange on a riader.

 

The red one in the bush near the group is in melee with Ialandranth.

 

So the red near the three orange and venoms/raiders is alive, as is the red near the 4 ornage and 8 humans.

 

 

[Akylas]

Ok, I think this guy to our east is still active and not in melee then.

[Trokair]

That one is baout 5m further north having doged Saoirse Destructor.

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Kabalite: 'Ner, ner, I'm a tree hugger!'

Akylas: *Prunes trees with missile launcher*

Kabalite: *is killed by falling pterasquirrel*??

Am I able to get line of sight on him moving with my half action?

[Trokair]

Technically not, but I am goign to let it stand as Kelman and Saoirse are at the same initiative step. 

So I imaging you both steped forward more or less at the same time and attacked that Kabalite, I seem to recall that fluff wise reaper micro missile things have limited homing capabilities, so just goign chalk it up to that. 

 

The tree will however be a casulty as well.

[Mazer Rackham]

It will live on as novelty pencils Saoirse will craft in honour of this moment.

[Mike Zulu]

I sense we are about to get smashed…

That’s a lot of Kabalites to go through.

 

Did we want to tactically retreat? Perhaps in the direction of the humans to goad them into fighting?

[Mazer Rackham]

Suppressing Fire Action with Shuriken weapons, whilst others move to humans on a Run? We can peg it a fair way.

 

Thoughts?

[Trokair]

Remember your objective going into this, I belive you were intending to assasinat the DE Leader and then escape through the webway gate.

True, true, but Saoirse's changed her mind you know, she's not really ready for an 'intense' relationship like that at the moment, she doesn't have her hair done, her cloak is a mess, I mean, come on...

[Mike Zulu]

That was my intent but my Suppressive Fire range is 40m (half weapon’s range), so I’ll need to get closer first. 

I can set up in the brush to the west and try to lock down that portion of hostiles (or pick them off until they get closer).
