The inside of the big building is all one big room, well lit from above. The floor is one solid slab of stone, except for an area in the center that is metal. The metal area is marked around the edges with bright orange paint, with stripes that make an X through its center (should be pretty clear which part of the room this is). In the far corner of the metal area is a small metal cabinet of some sort, about waist high.
On the left hand side of the room, a set of metal spiral stairs leads down. In the opposite corner is a huge pile of metal debris. Parked throughout the room are four of the Dude’s jifs and, behind them, are a number of the smaller atheevee’s. Several Dudes crouch behind the jifs, weapons trained on the doors. Dudes A, B, and E are armed as normal, with the nine meel supmayshinkuhns. Dude L has a long-barreled reeble, like you recall one of the Dudes at the gates of Nauthan wielding. Dude F has what appears to be only a metal tube in his hands, about the length of a longsword. He also has a large metal backpack strapped to his back.
SURPRISE/READIED ACTIONS ROUND
As the big door opens, Dudes A and B let loose with bursts of bullets at Shareev. Shareev, however, finds this easy enough to avoid, by ducking behind the frame of the metal door. There is a “whoop” sound as Dude L fires his long reeble at Brand. The bullet hits, but most of the damage is absorbed by the kel suit Brand acquired from one of the long-since deceased Dudes [a very disappointing damage roll results in 1 hp damage to Brand]. The other two Dudes do nothing.
OUT OF CHARACTER |
None of you can really see the entire room from your vantage points. Brand has line of sight to all the Dudes, but might be most focused on Dude L, who just shot him. Shareev and Ruadhnait have line of sight to Dudes A, B, and E. Aeless, just barely, has line of sight to Dude L. The rest of you can’t see any of the Dudes (sorry, Thanis, that’s why you didn’t get to use your readied action), but probably have a good idea where they are from the sound of their kuhnfire. All of the Dudes have cover, crouched behind the jifs. Damage totals: Brand 11, Aeless 5 I’m going to try using the initiative/validation setup I’ve been using in the Veil of Ignorance game for at least this combat. See here for explanation: http://theonlysheet.com/community/viewt ... 683#p37683 If you guys decide you don’t like it, let me know and we can go back to the old style (everybody posts, Dudes go somewhere in the middle, possibly screwing up your actions). Initiative will go like this: COMBAT ROUND 1 Ruadhnait Thanis Oldin Esias DUDES ---> QUICK VALIDATION Brand Amon Aeless Leenah Shareev COMBAT ROUND 2 BEGINS Ruadhnait Thanis Oldin Esias DUDES ---> FULL VALIDATION Brand Amon Aeless Leenah Shareev COMBAT ROUND 3 BEGINS Ruadhnait Thanis Oldin Esias DUDES ---> FULL VALIDATION |
