Taking your shot with the sonic blast, you hit your target with a solid blast. Al-Kahar reels from the impact, but is still up as Monty slams into him.

The jump down is short enough that you can make it with a Acrobatics or Breakfall roll and take no damage.

Damien crouches and then hops out the window, readying himself to do a paratrooper roll to land safely.

You can make the jump down on Segment 3 of the next round as a half-move action.

Getting ready to wrap up the turn. NemoTheSurvivor you have a shot at the backs of the two gunmen that were approaching your position under the truck that are now running towards the ship. You can either fire or continue to delay. What do you do?

 

[NemoTheSurvivor]

Heads up. There are two more tangos heading your way. Keep an eye out for them.

Meniru is not going to shoot, as she might give her position away, and getting shot at while hiding under 15 missiles is not a good idea.

Gotcha. Just making sure I don't forget your character and skip your chance to act.

Moving on to Segment 3.

Monty is in close melee combat with Al-Kahar, and Damien has just jumped down from the window of the pilot house and is now a short distance away from the fight. Arachne is still up top, and there is a crew member cowering down behind one of the counters up there with her. Scott is still in his safe spot in his sniper's nest, and Meniru is holding position under the truck with the missiles in it. From her warning over the Mind Link you know that there are two more gunmen running up to the ship from the dock.

On Dex 21, Al-Kahar levels a massive punch into Monty's chest, knocking him back several feet and knocking the wind out of the conglomerate creature.

Arachne will hold her position in the wheelhouse, and attack the terrorist leader with her Mental Blast at a distance.

[Silanon]

Alrighty: As Monty gets thrown backwards, is there an opening for me to shoot at Al Kahar? If not, are the other two gunmen in sight for me? Can I see if Monty is severely wounded, or will he be fine for now?

 

[Sherwood]

There is a gap that a skilled marksman can use to take a shot on Al-Kahar. At the moment, Monty looks like he has only taken mostly Stun damage, and only a few Body points (if any). He is very durable, and you suspect that he is far from critical need.

The other two gunmen are in sight, and you can hit either one if you so choose.

Arachne's Mind Blast hits the man, and he has a brief moment of rage as he glances up at you. He is very much in a killing frame of mind.

 

[Monky]

Seeing another clear shot as Monty is knocked away Damien again levels his claw and fires at the tough terrorist.

 

[Sherwood]

The sound blast hits the man, making him grab his ears in pain. While everyone is focused on hitting the bad guy, Monty shakes his head to clear the cobwebs away, and takes a deep breath.

Holding on Silanon for his action.

 

[Silanon]

It takes a deep breath and all of his discipline to not risk the shot for fame and glory - but it's his job to guard the others' back, and according to Meniru, there's incoming trouble. Scott turns around towards the van, just enough to notice the movements. A decent predator does not take on the leader - instead, he hunts down the easy prey first. Where Al-Kahar is surrounded by the dingo's allies, the two gunmen don't even know that he's here, ready to end their life with deadly precision. He takes aim at the one leading the way, his sniper rifle once more disrupting the night's silence.

 

[Sherwood]

The rifle roars, and the bullet hits your target with a wet slap, spinning the man around in a circle before he falls to the ground.

There is now only Al-Kahar and one gunman visible.

On Segment 5, Al-Kahar turns his attention on Dante. He leaps at you, swinging his leg around in a nasty kick, and you discover for yourself just how strong he is. Unless you decide to Abort to Dodge for your action on Segment 6, he will hit and do a total of 10 Body and 38 Stun. You'll take a total of 22 Stun past your defenses, and you'll be Stunned for a Segment.

[Psychie]

Arachne continues to hit the terrorist with her Mind Blast for her Segment 6 action. With as powerful as he is, I had best stay up here to keep from getting flattened!

 

[Silanon]

Only two left from what he can tell - one of them, however, is a true challenge, just like described during the briefing. Better to hurry up stopping the other one, his comrades might need his support sooner rather than later. Scott quickly takes aim at the gunman below, pulls the trigger as soon as he has sight. "Got one - about to get the second. No other targets, except Al-Kahar."

 

[Monky]

Damien will attempt to dodge the powerful kick from their foe.

 

[Sherwood]

Damien is just barely able to evade the kick, saving him from a serious impact.

Arachne's psychic attack staggers Al-Kahar, making him visibly shaky. He is probably close to succumbing to the combined assault.

Then Monty steps up. He unwinds a nasty claw attack that actually manages to draw some blood. The terrorist is stumbling, with his hand going to the claw slash on his gut.

[Psychie]

After seeing that Al-Kahar is at least acting as if he's hurt, Arachne will push her Mind Blast to unleash her most powerful attack possible, driving the power into his head.

OOC I will go ahead and burn 20 extra End to boost my attack to 6d6.

 

[Silanon]

In case the first shot didn't hit, Scott will once again aim at the gunman, trying to take him out asap. If he's already down on the ground, however, the dingo will instead turn against the leader, waiting for an opening to shoot without endangering his comrades. He apparently got wounded, after all - time to finally stop him.

 

[Monky]

It takes a moment for Damien to catch his balance, but thankfully MOnty buys him that moment as he slashes their secondary target. With Al Kahar realing Monty once more levels his claw and drops the hammer, unleashing a fierce blast of sound straight at the terrorist.

 

[Sherwood]

Between the devastating shot from Scott's sniper rifle and the follow-up from Damien's claw blast, the wanted man stumbles and falls to the deck, finally knocked out. But he is not dead, and if given a few moments, he will be back on his feet. What do you guys do to him now? Are you planning on trying to take him in alive, or are you going to finish him off here and now?

Moving out of combat time.

[Silanon]

"Got 'em - all hostiles down for the count. Time to find the last bloody missile; any chance the big one can tell us something?" The last question should be a rhetorical one - after all, the terrorist took two shots with a sniper rifle, and the rest of the team didn't hold anything back either. And yet, Scott is quite certain that he still spots slight movements through his scope, unnaturally. Well, maybe he's not the one to complain about almost supernatural abilities, given his companions and own skills - doesn't matter, though. Bad guys shouldn't keep the entire team busy, if only for a few moments.
"Want me to come over? Probably shouldn't leave the guy alone, and we better check the ship more closely. Command spoke about four friends of him, and there could be even more of them."

Talking about more people - what is the crew member in the wheelhouse doing? Did he use the distraction of some mutant jumping through windows to escape, or is he still there?

 

[Monky]

Well... does someone want to radio back to base and see what they want us to do with Al Kahar? Damien asks over the link as he dusts himself off, before moving closer to cover the terrorist with his claw.

 

[Psychie]

Arachne sends, I'm on it. "This is Arachne. We have Al-Kahar in custody, and we need instructions on what to do with him. Please advise."

 

[Sherwood]

The radio crackles. "You have captured Al-Kahar? Wait one." Obviously, the radio operator was not expecting to hear this bit of news. After a few moments, he is back on. "At this moment, we have no means of keeping him under control until he can be transferred to a secure holding facility. Eliminate the target. What is the status of the missiles? Are they ready for transport?"

 

[Psychie]

"Command, please confirm you last order: you want us to kill Al-Kahar?" Arachne is not wanting to be left holding the bag on this one.
