0.0 - Another Day On The Job

http://www.robinparrish.com/wp-content/uploads/insp2.jpg

It's a quiet dark night on the streets. Street lights buzz overhead. Your van pulls up across the road from a neon-sign-lit den of iniquity. The job seems straight forward. There is a gang head here. A bugbear named Claw has been running a protection gambit on many of the surrounding businesses. For once it seems you may be doing a public service for some extorted local business owners. A slight turn from your normal work. It also didn't pay a whole lot. A meager 100 GC total, but the work load has been lightening lately. A job is a job.

Checking through the docs on your datapad you see a picture of Claw and a few of his little goblin goons. The next picture shows Claw being flanked by his bodyguard, a hobgoblin named Scorch. The name is fitting as half of the creatures face has burn scarring across it. They are supposedly all hold up in this club owned by the bugbear. The job is simple. Eliminate Claw, get out.

Looking around the streets are definitely quiet tonight. Not many people passing by. It's beginning to drizzle. Time to go to work.

Everyone feel free to take this time for some introductory RP and start setting up for this simple job.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Breecha commits the images of Claw to memory. If one needed to look through Breecha's optics, they would see a thumbnail image of the bugbear in one corner with distinguishing marks of recognition cataloged and emphasized. The large robot waits in the back of the van, where the reinforced suspension is able to handle the extra weight. He sits facing the rear doors, a tactical habit that allows him a convenient exit once the double doors open, especially when entering a hot battlezone. Breecha's matte body seems to absorb what little light filters in from outside, but the worn corners and edges of his bulky frame glint with years of hard use.

The heavy doors do not have windows, so Breecha's red-lit optics cannot see the sparse crowd. Instead, his processors take the time to assess the condition of the large shield attached to his left arm. The pitted and worn surface still bear the burn marks from combat long before; perhaps they'll never buff out. An automatic pistol is holstered at his right leg, with a modified grip and trigger to accommodate his larger hand. When greater firepower is needed, Breecha has a double-barreled shotgun on two-point sling snug around his body; it also helps as a handy door-knocker. As a backup weapon, a solid rod of metal with a flanged head is secured horizontally at the robot's waist.

Breecha remains silent. The inventory of his special response vest flits across his field of view, reaffirming that he has the appropriate ammunition types and tactical gear ready and accessible. A warning indicator briefly flashes yellow and highlights the stock on slug-type shotgun shells is below minimal standards; he will have to bring this to Kessel Nor's attention later.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Preserver sits just in front of BR33CH, or behind him if one orients the back doors of the van to forward since that is how the assault mech will be leaving. Preserver sits back to back with the larger bot, the blue light given off by Preserver's muscle fibers and nonfuntional bio-printers mixes with the red glow from BR33CH causing some interesting patterns on the walls of the van. Normally Preserver would enjoy inspecting the light show, but the case the team has pulled is forefront in his banks at the moment. Taking out this gang leader seems simple enough, and would bring relief to the local businesses who Claw extorts. But Preserver is a big picture kind of guy, or that's what he's been told. The bodyguard is processing known associates and rival gang memebrs. He can't shake the feeling that they might be "stepping on a butterfly" by removing Claw, but no particular scenario has surpassed a 30% probability rating. Nothing that he can see coming in to fill the void left by Claw is panning out as a significant threat. But Preserver can't shake the feelings of unease.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Mack's in the driver's seat -- as the newest member of the team, he picks up a little bit of the menial work, like driving. But that's okay, he fancies himself a very capable driver or, at least, a lucky one. Despite the fact he's inside the van, he's still got his broad-rimmed hat on. It's well worn and is clearly well-loved. He looks over Claw and Scorch again and notes, "This Scorch one could be a little trouble. He's obviously seen something bad and is still standing."

He takes out one of the magically-imbued pistols he has -- its runes glowing softly in the dim light. Double checking the state of the pistol he preps the gun, and its partner, with the special shells he has prepped for today. "I've got a Magic Missile, a Thunderwave and a Sleep," he says to the team, warning them and... preparing them to provide tactical advice. "Otherwise, I think I'll be channeling firebolt. Perhaps Scorch has some latent fears of fire."

"Hey, guys. Remember, if you want to find something out feel free to search it :)", the robotic AI voice of your datapad's helper AI chimes in. Since getting this thing you haven't been able to find the source of the voice program to change it. It's helpful to a point. It seems to enjoy hopping onto your coms as well when it thinks it may be helpful. It talks in cryptic tones, seeming to pull phrasing from all over RAIN.

GM. If you want to search up some stuff on RAIN do investigation checks to find out info you may or may not want.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Kessel, riding shotgun, nods in response to Mack. Between the gunmage and Breecha, the team is armed to the teeth. This job Tymora found them really isn’t Kessel’s style. He’s more of the go in, get out clean kind of guy. If it can be done remotely then so much the better. But this is no time to get choosy. Kessel has racked up a substantial online gambling debt and he needs the credits. He speaks to PHANTOM.Nimbus, their A.I. helper, via the commlink, "Don’t we at least have a schematic of this roach den? Lemme see if I can dig something up." The technomancer's fingers dance across the datapad.

Breecha says nothing, but the robotic equivalent of annoyance briefly flits across his bus. Military AI were never this talkative, and usually just gave the facts in a straightforward and timely fashion. And the usage of emoticons seems particularly frivolous.

Still, the AI's capabilities are useful, Breecha would have to admit that. PHANTOM's near-limitless research functionality far outweighs whatever eccentricities the AI possesses.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Well, gents, I'm not sure how you managed to find a job at a seedy strip club, ;) but I've found rudimentary specs. I'm sure city hall won't mind the back door access. The building is The Dragons Treasure. Here is the layout. Almost failed my INT check on that one.

Layout specs appear on screen. You see a first floor that has plenty of seating and a bar on the west wall. The center of this floor is dominated by a large stage where the performers are. On the east wall are some private booths. The south wall has the entrance right out front, the north wall has a set of stairs that lead up to the second floor. These stairs are restricted access as the second floor is secured for employees only. The upstairs forms a large ring around the top of the stages. You can see over the balcony to the floor below, giving good eyes on everything.

On the south wall of this second floor is a larger secured office with bullet proof glass one way mirrors. No doubt the guy your looking for may hold up here.

On the outside there is a stairway in the back alley that would get you up to the second floor, it connects to the north wall, but these stairs are usually guarded as well.

Sorry Preserver, you know I can't do more than data retrieval. If you want to hack a feed to view you will need to roll this one yourself, the AI chimes back, It seems the building is equipped with video feeds. Chances are it's a DC 15 check.

The AI always keeps making these odd references to checks, rolls, but you can't seem to figure out what sort of meaning they denote to you.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Preserver's optics cut off as he finds himself in a familiar digital representation of the world. His avatar looks around the blue haze of a street and sees the rudimentary wireframe representations of all of the buildings along the street. They are aglow with yellow pings of devices. Flying towards the opaque representation of the club Preserver outputs a hack into the sidewall and a small hole forms. He slips in unnoticed by any security protocols. Seeing the layout of the building inside he secretly tags all of the camera markers to output to his video feeds, and the groups com devices as well. If you have an audio com you can hear audio from any of the feeds listed. If you have visual com or other form of HUD you can see small thumbnail feeds.

There are 4 camera feeds. Two on the floor level where a particularly revealing show involving three female half-elves is going on, There is another one panning around the upper level balcony. You can see across the entire area from the stairs to the office on the other end. The last is a shot of inside the office. The bugbear and his hobgoblin bodyguard are in here doing some form of drug, it's hard to discern which one. There are two goblins in the room here and a few more are guarding the bottom of the stairs, the front entrance area. There is also a half-orc bartender keeping bar.

Most clientel seems to be humans, a few half-elves, some goblins, and some halflings. A varied crowd. There was no requirements for how queit or loud this job could get, but you are pretty sure some of the clientele is just honest citizens trying to unwind.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

PHANTOM responds to Mack, Claw is the propriety of this establishment. Most likely a front for some other operation. Basic searching reveals nothing of other possible ties for this business. Though his BIZr score is only a 2.3 out of 10 stars.

BIZr is the Yelp of this world now. Also since Preserver went into RAIN directly (severing connection to the concious world to search something out, he could have added double whatever his Proficiency bonus is (generally 2 for first level characters) to his role. He can also choose to search around more inside the system if he wants, or he can return.

Breecha accepts the additional video feeds without question. He turns his head to address the occupants inside the van.

"Find Camera Feed For Alley In Back Of Building," he says, his words bulky and cumbersome as his processors were dedicated to combat, not conversation. "Ascertain Strength Of Security Presence Guarding Stairway To Second Floor."

Ah, yes. It seems the feeds that Preserver absconded with inside the building do not seem to show any of the outside locations to the building. Fine deductive work my grammatically challenged friend!, the AI chatters away with a faked accent, Beware Preserver. It's probably a DC15, but slip up here and the city is a lot more strict about finding hackers in it's network. Alarm bells may be the last thing you want in the area.

Kessel cracks his knuckles. "We'll have a better chance if we come at them from several directions at once. I have several algorithms here that'll have them chasing their own tail while I go in and piggyback on the data feed we need." His fingers continue to fly over the datapad as he unleashes a stew of hacker viruses int the city's network.

I don't know if that should still be an Investigate check (+2) or a Deception check (+5) or something else. Including a roll without modifiers.

Kessel, I'm not sure if you understood the prime directive in your efforts. We have triggered a security protocol. We have about 20 minutes before they've noticed this infringement, after that it won't be long before they've converged on our location. I would suggest handling the job quickly at this point.

If still inside RAIN Preserver will see a flurry of security protocol activity on the vast grid that forms the city network. Their digital representation look like giant spiders. They crawl across the network like a large web. You are starting to see them in the distance as they are checking various nodes for the infringement Kessel has caused.

Preserver gives one last look at the spider protocols letting himself muse over their digital forms and wether some spect of their code dictated their form or if it was simply the need of the organic designers to apply recognizable forms to the virtual contructs. The thought doesn't slow him down. He smoothly makes the transition back to his real-space form and lights up again.

"You're gonna dig these jams, man!" says Kessel to Mack with a grin, before jumping out of the vehicle. "Breecha, let's break some doors down!"

Security Of Back Door Unknown. Accessibility Through Back Door Unknown. Rear Entrance Battle Team May Be Delayed Bypassing Back Door Protocol."

Breecha continues, "Front Entrance Recon Shows Several Guards Inside At Stairs. Front Entrance Battle Team Outnumbered For Assault."

After some consideration, Breecha says, "Proposition One: Recon Back Door With Four-Man Fire Team. Eliminate Guards And Bypass Lock Through Electronic Key Or Forced Entry. Once Inside, Proceed Down Each Side Of Balcony To Office.

"Proposition Two: Enter As Four-Man Fire Team Through Front Entrance. Eliminate Guards At Stairs. Access Second Floor And Proceed Down Each Side Of Balcony To Office.

Hey, guys, check the feeds Preserver nabbed. Front door. PHANTOM chimes in as Breech-a is listing out his plans.

On the front entrance feed you see a client come into the establishment. The front two guards frisk the man quickly and take a small pistol from him. Putting it into a temporary holding system. It would seem guns are taken at the door.

He considers, "Unless P-h you think they'd let me get in without any ammo. Seems like a long shot though." Hands on his holstered pistols he says, "Back door it is.

The front entrance consists of two wooden doors. From the video feed you saw two goblins, one on either side of the doors. They were wearing slick suits, and you would guess with the attire they probably have handguns strapped in side holsters underneath the jackets.

The assault robot proceeds towards the front entrance. He pushes through the double-doors and moves his shield to his left to block off the guard. With his right hand, Breecha raises the pistol and uses the opportunity of surprise to aim, and fires at the goblin on the opposite side.

The other one, Cut, shouts, "Scratch! Shit!" As he scrambles to try and inholsters his weapon.

Just before this all breaks out you see the feed that was watching the front door go to static as the camera is switched off.

Cybernetic mods, long practice, and the aid of a powerful entity he doesn't yet fully understand have given Kessel certain abilities and powers of technomancy. Not only is he able to manipulate electrical devices with a mere thought, he is also capable of altering his own body’s biochemistry as if he himself were a hackable machine.

Kessel storms in, trenchcoat-tails flying, just a step behind Mack and Breecha. Moving in well-practiced tandem with his teammates, Kessel shifts left, following the sweep of Breecha's shield. Eldritch runes mixed with digital symbols, imprinted on his skin, glow as his body's cells rearrange themselves, pumping ions, preparing a bioelectric assault. Kessel thrusts his hand out and a beam of crackling energy streaks toward one of the goblins guarding the stairs.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

As Mack's shot fizzles Cut lets out a loud laugh, as he reaches to draw his gun. His laugh is cut short when a blade enters his gut and drops him to the floor. His pistol undrawn. Preserver has taken out Cut, as he drops to the ground Scratch is trying to stand back up from the shot he received but looking down he just sees a gaping hole in his chest, just before he succumbs as well.

As the gunfire rings out in the club the patrons, and the three half-nude girls on stage all start screaming and running like crazy. The girls jump off-stage and start heading towards a small back-room under one of the stairs. Patrons start scrambling to get around the crazy guys with guns and hide where they can.

Kessel, sweeping in behind the group launches an eldritch bolt that weaves around the crowd and finds its way buried in the chest of Scab, he slumps forward to his knees the keels over dead.

The bartender, Brute, drops down behind the bar, gaining full cover from it.

GM. Sorry, didn't realize Breech-a Killed Scratch with his hit. The other targets are two goblins guarding the stairs on the other side of the club, Scab and Mace, the half-orc bartender, Brute, and a few guards you saw on the feed upstairs, although they are out of view of spells right now.

Breecha proceeds forward into the room, towards the stairs. It is a tactical advance, allowing him to cover some ground and still maintain a protective distance near Kessel. The pistol is brought to bear upon the goblin remaining by the stairs, and after a brief pause for practiced aim, he fires.

Breecha levels his pistol at the remaining guard by the stairs. The wall next to the creature erupts in a spray of drywall as the lucky creature winces from the miss.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Kessel, launches another bolt that catches Mace in the gut. The energy crackles across his skin as he grits his teeth at the pain. He keels over right next to his compatriot.

Added dice for crit with spell. Turns out Mace died. Updated goblin turn.

-- Goblin Turn --

As Kessel is watching the feeds upstairs he sees two more goblins emerge from the office room upstairs. The one that was upstairs watching the back door has also come over to the railing and is looking down to the first floor to see what is happening. While most have had small handguns so far this one has a small SMG. Die you bastards! he screams as he burst fires without aiming at the group.

Spray will do a burst fire attack, normally you have to make a DC 15 dexterity save to avoid damage from the weapon but he is getting a little too zealous with a gun that is a little too large for him. So it's only DC 10 Dexter save to avoid damage. This will affect Kessel, Breecha, and Mack. Preserver moved out of range.

The other two new goblins take their time getting over to where they can see the first floor as well but don't have time to get a shot off yet.

-- Bartender Turn --

Brute pops out from behind the bar holding a double barrel sawed off shotgun. Unfortunately his proximity to Preserver is too close to get good aim so he just free shoots in his direction.

Bartender shoots at Preserver but close proximity gives disadvantage on ranged attack.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Breecha takes a good hit from the spray of bullets, but returns fire at Spray. The shot goes right through the goblins head. Spray slumps forward and flips over the railing of the second floor and lands on a table on the first floor, his SMG clatters to the ground.

Breecha takes 12 ballistics damage. Technically this isn't a standard attack as he doesn't have to roll for attack. He just sprays 10 bullets. I'll go ahead and say if you use protection on someone it will add +2 to their saving throw. You can only do one target though, as you only get one reaction per round.

Mack, spinning through the hail of bullets unscathed, seeing Spray drop focuses on Sully. His shot catches the goblin square in the shoulder, but he stays on his feet.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

As the bartender is trying to wrestle some distance from Preserver a bolt catches him in the side. He winces as it singes his skin.

-- Goblin Turn --

Sully, taking a solid hit aims and fires back at Mack. Why won't you die!? he shouts down as he fires.

Grunt, shouts back towards the office they emerged from, There's four of em'. I'll take care of them!. He pulls out a small grenade. He fires off a shot without aiming towards Kessel. Grunt spends the rest of his turn trying to figure out how the heck to use this thing. He's thought about using it a lot, but has never done this before.

-- Bartender Turn --

Still up close and personal with Preserver, Brute blasts off the second barrel towards Preserver. He then cracks open the double barrel shotgun and drops in another two shells, flicking it closed with a practiced move.

Bartender fires again with disadvantage for proximity, then reloads with his bonus action.

The eldritch blast catches Grunt as he is now gnawing on the grenade and uttering an unending stream of goblin curses. The bolt drops him and the grenade lands, inactive, on the carpet upstairs.

Almost forgot this guy doesn't have a shield. PHB AC is based on shield.

Sully, seeing his compatriot fall, and the grenade roll free dives on the floor to pick it back up, also moving him out of range to be seen from the first floor you are all on.

Sully drops prone and picks up the grenade. He is now considered in full cover to all of you, unless you were to go upstairs.

-- Bartender Turn --

Brute, running out of room and options takes another attempt to AIM the shotgun and fire it at preserver. He roars, Die you rust bucket piece of shit! as the shot finally connects.

It's hard to judge exactly how well he is doing with it, but he certainly has it in his hand now. You also have sight on him so you can cast, shoot, or whatever you want. using all your movement gets you maybe a quarter of the way up these stairs. Enough to get line of sight.

Anyone who has a HUD or optics to view the feed see a big bugbear in a duster pacing back and forth with a pistol in his hand. He still seems to be wound up on whatever drug they were doing. Scorch is just standing in one place watching everything unfold. He has an SMG in his hands. You may guess he is better at using it than the late goblin, Spray.

Two saves down, rust bucket. PHANTOM chimes in over comms. He is doing his best imitation of the bartender.

Everyone can try a heal check if they would like to at least stabalize him. Otherwise he will have to make another throw here.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Since the immediate threats have been neutralized, Breecha stomps over to the bar to try and recover Preserver. Using his own self-knowledge of robotics, Breecha attempts to stabilize his fallen comrade. Of course, Preserver is a completely different construct, but Breecha makes the best of what he can see, and know.

As he checks on Preserver, Breecha speaks to PHANTOM. "Download Specifications For Security Door. Determine Success Rate For Kinetic Breach With Blunt Force, And Ballistic Breach With Shotgun." As his HUD scans the building schematics once more, Breecha adds, "Determine Integrity Of Interior Wall."

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Kessel jogs back to the bar and checks on Preserver. He shakes his head and mutters, "I wish I had my repair kit on me." He takes Brute's shotgun and tosses it to BR33CHA, "Grab this and that SMG, and cover the rear door upstairs, unless Mack needs you for something else. I'll try to get Preserver up again before I try to pick that locked office door open."

Kessel searches behind the bar for a key to the office, a datapad to control the establishment's security systems or utilities, or anything that might help them get access to Claw.

OOC: I believe that's a Medicine failed check. Do I just keep trying?

Breecha does as commanded. He arms himself with the shotgun (1 shell remaining), and retrieves the SMG from the floor at the base of the stairs. He makes a decision to forgo the shield in order to use the two-handed firearm, and trains the sights to the rear door.

In the meantime, Breecha keeps some processors dedicated to watching the activity in the office feed.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Mack is able to stop most major systems failures and puts out a small sparking fire in Preserver's chest cavity. The bot is stabilized, but still the systems are in a powered down state.

Preserver is stable now, but unconscious. Without a healing spell or item he will remain stable, but unconscious for an hour. After that he gains 1 hp and wakes up.

Breecha acquires the double barrel shotgun and light SMG. The shotgun has 1 shell and the SMG reads 10 rounds left. The video feed still shows Scorch just standing behind the mirror watching. You see Claw walk over to a small box on the wall and hold down a button. Suddenly a similar box behind the bar crackles and you hear a gruff voice.

Look, I don't know who you are, or what you're doing here, but you have no idea what you're messing with here. Leave now and I promise not to rip your arms off immediately, the box suddenly crackles off as Claw walks away from the box.

Behind the bar Kessel finds the box producing the noise. It has a small button on it. There is also a healing stim hidden behind the bar.

Healing stim functions as a potion of healing.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Do I have the assesments? Are you really asking me that, PHANTOM quips in an almost snotty tone, If you're looking to just bust through that door good luck. It's solid steel and reinforced to work as a blast door. The mirror up front will take a blasting as well without cracking. That shotgun may as well be a feather if you want to take it to the door. there is a brief pause in the assessment.

Now that last idea, I think bucket head finally thought outside the box. You could try and break through the walls around the door, a DC 15 strength check could bust a good hole for getting the grenade through, or you could try and do maybe 8 points of damage with the shotgun to achieve the same effect.

Breecha responds, "Target Armed With Pistol. Secondary Target Armed With Submachinegun." He sets aside both shotgun and SMG and re-arms his shield. "I Will Take Point. Once Door Is Accessed, I Will Position Shield In Opening And You Can Launch Grenade."

As PHANTOM provides the assessment of the wall, Breecha looks to the others for the course of action. Internally, his processors want to try breaking through the wall instead of the door.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Breecha hefts his mace again and makes a perfect hole in the adjoining wall into the office. The grenade will fit through nicely.

As Mack inspects the grenade two things become clear. This grenade has a two-part trigger mechanism like most grenades. A hand trigger on the side, and a button on top. It's a cylindrical grenade about 4 inches long and about an inch in diameter. If you pull the trigger without holding the button, the grenade just flashes red and won't activate.

The second thing that he becomes aware of is that this is an incindiary grenade. Unlike a standard explosive grenade this does less damage but there is a chance that the enemies will be set on fire and take continual fire damage until they can put out the flames.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

The grenade plops in through the wall, the light on top flashing green as Mack triggers it just before tossing it in. Though the wall, and if you have the camera feeds, you hear Claw shout, Shit! Get down!, as he dives behind a desk in the office trying to get cover. Scorch, oddly enough just stands where he has been standing. He turns and sees the grenade hit the floor but instead of running or hiding he simply stands his ground and levels his SMG towards the wall.

There is a sudden flash, and a dull thump, as the grenade more pops than explodes. Flaming motes of napalm splash across much of the room. Despite the flames leaping right at him Scorch seems entirely unaffected by the blast or the flames swirling all around. He instead fires a shot into the wall, hoping to hit Breecha on the other side.

Claw on the other hand has a mote of fire hit him directly. His fur and duster instantly catch fire as he growls in pain. Scorch, kill those bastards!

At that moment Kessel triggers the door from inside RAIN and it slides up instantly with a choof. The battle begins.

The grenade goes off, and Scorch makes an attempted shot at Breecha, he will be at disadvantage for not knowing exact location, and any damage from the gun will be at -8 because of the wall soaking up damage from the bullet. Scorch also appears to be immune to fire. I'm going to just drop these two at the end of the order since you guys positioned to get ready, I'll say you get enough of a drop on them to make it count. Also saves from rerolling new initiative.

Through the open door Kessel extenda his hand, shaped like a claw, at Scorch, cursing the hobgoblin. The technomancer mutters an activation phrase, and his cells reorganize themselves again, co-mingling, triggering reactions. He extends his other hand and a jet of choking, noxious vapor spouts from it, engulfing Scorch.

Kessel shoots from the doorway, and ducks out of sight after as he prepares his next move.

Preserver bursts into the room. His empty whirs and clicks as it transforms into sonic cannon formation. He positions himself so that both Claw and Scorch are in front of him and unleashes a wave of thunderous noise that causes loose debris in the room to go flying.

::casting Thunder wave, I hope that it is possible to get both targets in range. If the distance is to great I am ok with only getting Scorch in the blast because he is out in the open. I assume Claw has some cover. So DC 14 Dex throw or take the spell damage and be pushed 10 feet straight back from Preserver. Half damage and no push effect if they make the save.

Breecha leaves Brute's shotgun and Spray's SMG at the doorstep as backup weapons for Kessel and Mack, and enters the fiery room. He crouches down behind his shield and positions himself slightly in front of the open door to give them some cover with his bulk, while still providing the two a firing lane.

Preserver weaves his way into the room first and is able to juke around to the side of Scorch which lines the two targets up almost perfectly. The shockwave hits both targets but Scorch adjusts his stance and keeps his ground, Claw who is currently flailing around trying to put out the flames is not so lucky and goes flying backwards like a giant fireball.

Scorch saves and takes 4 damage. Claw takes the full 9 and goes flying. He is still on fiya!

As Breecha looses some ammo on Scorch he seems to swirl around the bullets as he spins sideways, leveling his gun again towards the door.

Scorch, still coughing heavily shifts a bit to get a better bead on Breecha. He aims the SMG and fires. "Let's see how many of you I can take with me", coughs out. His words ragged and hoarse.

Single SMG shot at Breecha.

-- Claw Turn --

Claw, still on fire, feels the fire singe him again as he flails to put out the flames. He finally seems to get the fire that has been consuming him put out.

Claw spends his action putting out the flames.

As Preserver and Breecha both struggle to keep their systems from being completely fried, Mack steps into the room to line up his targets. Scorch and Claw try and keep their footing as the blast flies through the room.

Scorch manages to keep his footing, though he gets struck by a few flying objects. Claw again loses his footing and is flown into a wall and lands prone.

Dammit, Scorch! I said take them out!, Claw groans, holding his side.

Preserver still needs to make his first death save for his turn. Kessel is free to act, but I'll hold off on enemy turns until I see the results from Preserver.

Another cloud of choking poison wafts towards Scorch, Will you...*cough*...cut that shit out!, he manages to choke out as he tries to wave the vapors away. As he tries to talk he inhales too much poison. The compounded hex effect wears away at his vital organs and he drops to his knees. The SMG he was holding clatters to the floor. He falls forward onto his face, blood seeping from his mouth and nose.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Big hit from Kessel drops Scorch. He isn't walking away from this one.

-- Claw Turn --

Getting back up to his feet Claw is cornered in his office. Finally not on fire and finally not being thrown across the room, he does the only thing he can do. He levels his pistol at Mack, takes aim, and fires. I've had enough of all of you! Time to die!

Aiming and firing his standard Pistol at Mack.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Mack runs up to the side of the door, preferably in partial cover and does what he can to stabilize Breecha. "I think he's got a short that's causing some problems here. Perhaps if I reboot his autochronic metaboliser he's stabilize until we can get Claw sorted," he shouts to Kessel. "Do me a favor and drop that guy -- we're going to need to make a swift exit."

"On second thought gimme a hand with this if you can."

OOC: Do we have any special kits on hand that help make stabilizing automatic (e.g. a healing kit, but for robots -- it'd seem like this would be standard fare for us to have. I'd flip a destiny point ;) for such if possible). I'd like to avoid the cruelty of the RNG if possible.

You need to use the repair kit to stabalize Breecha, now!, Tymora orders. After a moment of silence she gauges you silent shock as response enough, Did you not see the repair kit I loaded into Breecha's back compartment?

Mack flips open the compartment and out falls a repair kit.

This will indeed do as you need. Since we never had a chance to really shop before the craziness broke out I'll give you this one. To be fair you guys have been rocking the fire fight this far. Time wise this is after Macks failed repair attempt so Kessel will have to take his action to use the kit.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Claw, seeing odds are starting to turn against him, and Scorch in a pile on the floor, runs over to his bodyguard's body and grabs a small black rectangle from inside his overcoat. He throws the device towards the backwall of the office, that is facing the street. As it hits it seems to suction or magnetize to the wall and starts beeping. It rapidly beeps faster, then the beep turns into one long droning beep.

The front-wall of the building, and office, suddenly flashes and erupts outward. A gapping hole is left in the side of the building. Standing back up from prone Claw looks between Mack, Kessel, and the hole in the wall. You think it was going to be that easy. Do you have any idea who I am?! When I tell my boss about this he is going to rip every extremity from your body, one at a time!

Claw uses most of his movement to pick up a device from Scorch's body, uses his action to throw it against the wall, blowing a hole in it. Then stands up with the rest of his movement. He then, stupidly, decides to mock you one last time before leaving. Taking up the rest of his turn.

Mack moves to intercept Claw, putting his not insubstantial bulk in the way in order to prevent his timely exit. When he's in position, or as close as possible to being so, he'll bring up his pistols and fire in an effort to finish the job. "Who do you think hired us, you dirt bag?" Sure, it's probably not true, but if he does get out it'll make him think...

Even if I don't live through this, at least I know one thing, you are going to meet your maker with me" he says as he starts to lean into a full run.

Strength to shove Mack out the hole in the wall. If Claw wins the contest they will both fly out and fall. Mack can either use strength to oppose Claw, which would stop him in his tracks. Or acrobatics to avoid the hit entirely, more than likely causing Claw to run past and out the hole.

He pushes back hard as the bugbear gets in close in an effort to ensure he's pushed back, and preferably prone, so he can fire a firebolt or two into him before he has a chance to try to escape again.

Looking up in a daze the last thing Claw sees is Mack outlined against the flames that have spread to much of the room. His silhouette holds out a single revolver and fires it. Claw falls back, dead.

About time you guys wrapped up this job, PHANTOM says over the comms, I'm picking up multiple emergency services heading this way, not to mention those network security spiders have just found the camera we tried to hack, they are dispatching peace keepers to the area. We may want to move.

Since you were within 5 feet of Claw you should have gotten advantage on the attack roll, though it doesn't matter, you killed him. If you were more than 5 feet from him as he was prone you would have been at disadvantage.

Breecha remains plugged into the mainframe as diagnostic programs run through regression tests to ensure things are operating adequately. His red optics are bright as he replays the last mission to preserve the team's tactical qualities and, perhaps, consider what they could have done differently and achieve the same form of success.

One of the system daemons finds a null pointer exception in Breecha's self-preservation software. Seems this bug prevented Breecha from successfully using the backup failsafes when outer components received damage, which could have enabled the mech to continue fighting for a bit longer. A monitor next to Breecha signals this, calling for attention to remedy a patch.

His entire frame spasms and his plating pops and flexes over biosynthe muscles.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Tymora kind of gathers you all up later after the bots are brought back to working order and have had systems upgrades run.

I know Mack had mentioned we need some supplies. We are running low on repair kits, we have next to nothing for ammo. Honestly at this rate we were lucky you didn't total the van on that last one. Some healing stims would be useful for everyone. Unfortunately, after that last... job... we may need to lay low and stay away from more legitimate shops. Surveillance may be keeping an eye out for you guys. I've been hearing the news reports of the club in the slums that burned down, she says as she flips on a vid screen in the shop. Running news reports are already showing footage of the club completely engulfed in flames, and mostly crumbled. It looks as though a bakery next door may be at risk of going up as well.

So, I've arranged a meeting with an old... let's call him acquaintance. He is head of a substantial black market and may be able to get us supplies on the cheap. We go back a ways. The only downside is..., she pauses trying to find the right words, ...he is a cambion. I mean at this point I don't know if we can be picky. I mean you just blew up a club for 300 GCs. I'm going to try and scrounge up so more work for us through some boards I know. Can you guys pick up the supplies?, she asks as she holds out a small scrap of paper with an address written on it. It appears to be down in Skullport, the docks district.

A Cambion, as most of your characters will undoubtably know, are half-human half demon spawn creatures. Where once they wished only death and destruction, now they have joined the modern way of thinking and seek cash, favor, and power through the chaos of illegal activities and extortion. You can trust them about as far as your money would allow you to throw them, but the certainly are well connected and great at acquiring things you may not find elsewhere.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

We really need to work on your linguistic processors, buddy. Looks like the guys known as Daemon, which frankly feels a bit on the nose for being part demon. Shouldn't an alias be more, clever? Anyway, sending an image to your datapad. This is the guy.

I'll see if I can find an unsecured feed but you know me, buddy. I'm a pacifist. I'll see if maybe I can get some layouts from my insecure port friend down at city hall, the AI remarks, then goes dormant as its processors search.

"The question I have is about our vehicle. Did the authorities I.D. it? Can we even get to Skullport without drawing unwanted attention?

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Scanning records hasn't shown any mention of a vehicle make or model as of yet. I can't however say with any certainty. Alternate options would be public transport, or walking. Despite your resilience against death, I would avoid the last one if possible.

"Divert Attention By Moving In Plain Sight," says Breecha. "Location Is Shipping Port; Many Vehicles Traverse Access. Drive Personnel Carrier As Though We Are Supposed To Be There, Making A Delivery."

Breecha's optics scan his weapons, then does a self-diagnostic. He touches a hand to his chest. "Disguise Self As Labor; Leaving Combat Ordnance And Armor At Headquarters." His mace, of course, is coming along for this job.

Kessel looks up from his datapad. "Alright, my guy says he'll put in a good word for us. We'll have that in addition to Tymora's endorsment. My contact confirms the address is an old shipping warehouse dockside." Kessel pauses, "I don't know about going in without ordnance, Breecha. If for nothing else, it might be good to have firearms to surrender at the door as a sign of good faith? What do you think, Mack? Tymora?"

Breecha nods and begins to reload his weapons with loud-and-not-so-subtle clicks, clacks, and snaps.

Re: 0.0 - Another Day On The Job

Alright, I'm going to cut this thread here, with some famous last words. Feel free to use the OOC thread to discuss more strategy going in, and I'll have a new post up for the next chapter hopefully tonight. May need to get some more box character sheets made. :)
