ah, thanks

 

Thanis tries to get a good look at teh hands of the dabber, are they really tied? Does he recognized the guy?

He does not shoot, but continues to aim at the driver.


He'll ready an action for the driver to draw a khun (does he appear armed).

Thanis observes the approaching vehicle. The dabber's arms do appear to be tied. The driver has a 9 meel kuhn slung over his shoulder, but his hands are occupied with steering the vehicle.

Since Thanis does not fire, the three wheeled vehicle approaches the gate, where it stops. There is an obvious look of surprise on the driver's face as he stares at Aeless (who looks exactly like Sarge). The dabber looks frightened. Neither of them seem to have noticed anyone else, as you are all well hidden.

The driver says, "Sarge? You're alive? They said it was a trick on the reetyu! ... But I brought your favorite toy anyway ..." he gestures with his shoulder, indicating the bound dabber riding behind him.

Esias watches the Dude in the vehicle as he nocks an arrow, but will take no action at the moment.

OOC: Seeing as how Esias is 10 ft above ground, I suspect the Dude is just over 30 ft away.

Shareev hold his action until Aeless' response. If the rider seems at any point unsure or ready to turn and ride away, Shareev will take a shot with the 9 meel.

Not saying a thing, Aeless walks up to the driver side of the vehicle and listens to them glaring. "Where the others?!!" yells Aeless at the speaking dude.

"You!!" points at the driver. "GET OUT! AND NOW!" yells Aeless.

"YOU!!!" points at the speaking dude. "What happened, they don't believe me?! Tell them and now!" states the angry half-elf.

OUT OF CHARACTER
Using the look of surprise and amazement of the dudes along with my Bluff 5, Diplomacy 11, Intimidate 7 and cow them down. He's identifying their name tags if any.

As the rest of you ready weapons and wait to see what happens, Aeless approaches the three-wheeled vehicle. "Where the others?!! What happened, they don't believe me?! Tell them and now!" he yells at the driver, continuing with "GET OFF! AND NOW!" [There is only one Dude, driving the vehicle and speaking to you. The vehicle is like an ATV. The dabber, who hasn't said anything, is riding on the back behind the driver.]

The driver looks at Aeless in shock, "Wait! You're not Sarge!" [Really bad bluff check, unfortunately. Aeless sounds nothing like Sarge] He begins to throw the vehicle into reverse; you see it start to back away from Aeless …

[Aeless, no AoO for you, since the driver is withdrawing. Everyone with a readied action can take it now, if you want. Just let me know what you want to do.]

From his location on the roof, Jiam cannot see what is happening because of the wall, so he continues to hold his redied action.

Esias will let fly an arrow at the Dude driver.

OOC: assuming the elevation makes the range just over 30 ft, +7 to hit, 1d6+3 damage, crit 20/x3

The wall is actually a makeshift fence, with many sections of chain links, so you can see what's happening. The driver has partial cover because of the fence, though.

Oldin doesn't want to hurt the dabber or Aeless, so he will remain where he is.

Jiam changes his action rediness and prepares to light flasks of oil. But he has the khun close. He scans the horizon to see where they are going to come from next.

[Readied actions]

Thanis fires his weapon at the driver, hitting him in the shoulder.

Shareev leans around the corner of the fence to shoot the driver: a very good shot, but it bounces off the Dude's kel suit.

Esias lets fly an arrow at the Dude driver, just hitting him and penetrating the rubbery suit. [He was actually just within 30', even with the elevation]

Aeless attempts to leap on the vehicle as it pulls away, but the driver steers the vehicle sharply out of Aeless' grasp. Aeless looses his balance and flops to the ground.

The vehicle moves swiftly backwards from the gate. As it does so, the dabber on the back pushes off with his feet and intentionally falls off the vehicle onto the ground.

[Now everyone can act normally, but the vehicle is accelerating, so it will likely be far out of range in a round or two]

With the expected ambush no longer viable, Esias will go down to ground level (via stairs, ladder, whatever means is available). GM's call as to how long that will take.

Knowing that a full on assault is likely now that the enemy knows they are there, Jiam continues to remain patient. "The we will come and we will have to retreat. I shall be waiting..."

Thanis, no longer hidden, shoots the driver in the shoulder once again.

Shareev shoots the driver also, but the bullet appears to have little effect, thanks to the Dude's armor.

Esias climbs down the nearby ladder he used to reach the roof. [Only a full round move, you can act normally next round]

Aeless gets to his feet, readying his bow and firing one arrow [no rapid shot, since you had to stand from prone this round]. The giant arrow misses the vehicle's tire.

In a rather impressive manuever, the driver spins his vehicle around to face away from you and tears off, away from Nauthun. [He is now 80' off the map, quite a few range increments for Shareev, but probably quite hittable for Thanis, Aeless, and Esias]

The dabber, hands still bound, begins squirming along the ground toward you and the gates.

"Okay guys that means that there will be a shitload more coming soon. We need to plan our attack." Shareev calls out as he checks the device to see the dudes positions.

"More than likely they will kill him, soon anyway." as Aeless takes a bead on the vehicle and muttering some words.

OOC: Casting True Strike and a swift action for Blade of Blood on the large arrowhead. The attack is on the driver.
