There's a very,
very high-pitched sound, almost inaudible... and then -- white. Anyone unlucky enough to have their eyes open, even not looking directly at the flash grenade, is going to have a hard time eoing anything for the next few minutes.
One of the two men entering the armory staggers into the wall and falls down, hitting his head against a weapons locker. "Shit! I can't see! They're not on our side!" A little obvious now, maybe, but he's suddenly blind; you can't expect him to have the wittiest dialogue just now.
The other fares a little better. He'd been at just the right angle and had his head down, and so when the other guy hits the floor, all he has is a moment of blurry vision, but even that's wearing off now. He reaches out and grabs the nearest thing at hand in the room.

In the early 1980s, the U.S. military wanted a new combat shotgun. The Close Assault Weapon System program aimed to produce an automatic shotgun with greater range and more firepower than a conventional shotgun possessed — and which could engage targets between 100 meters and 150 meters with a variety of specialized loads.
The Pentagon decided it needed CAWS after examining the British Army’s experience during the Malayan Emergency and America’s own misfortunes in the Vietnam War. Shotguns had played an important role in close-range engagements, but weren’t always sufficiently handy … or deadly.
In the end, the CAWS didn't meet army specifications, and the weapon was shelved. That doesn't make any of the guns actually produced any less deadly.

fatigued. (-2 to str and dex. basically, -1 to attacks). Also, make a DC 10 fort save. A failure means you're stunned for 2d6 rounds (your roll).
Lorraine, you might have to end this yourself. What are you going to do?
