Outside the Hospital

Behind the wheel, Emily is fuming a little as Zach stresses about his sister. There's no answer on her phone, and as Lily is suddenly getting out of the van it goes straight to voicemail. The girl's camera is out and she's coming on strong, boldly approaching the black SUV. The figures in the front seats don't react -- until the newsie brings the camera up to her eye. Then the two doors are opening, and two guys in suits are getting out. One is bigger than the other, but they both have that greasy Jersey Sopranos look -- and they sprint for the teen.

"Gimmie that camera!" one of them shouts as they rush forward!

OOC:
Round One order is Lily, Emily, Zach, Tall Goon, Short Goon. Lily is probably what, 30' / 10m from the SUV? That's after walking 10m, so Emily and Zach are ~20m from the SUV and the onrushing goombas.

"Well fuck me. Who stuck a bug up her ass?" Lilly's meltdown doesn't surprise Emily. They'd been on edge for what felt like days already. But when she sees her taunt the occupants of the SUV, she smacks the steering wheel with her fists.

"What the hell? Just stupid! Better grab your bats and watch this disaster unfold, but I doubt whoever is in there will be dumb enough to cause a scene so close to the hospital. Maybe that's what she is counting on but I don't see how it helps us unless she gets a better look at the bozos."

Inside the Hospital

Freddie feels panic arise, he has so many things to do, and all of them made harder with this interference. So he argues, "No, I'm okay, look I don't want to be examined. I do not consent to this. I've told you what I know. Slugs and worms, she was splashed by this wicked grody sludge in an abandoned building. She fainted or something, so I carried her out. I've got to make sure the others are alright!"

The nurse holds up steadying hands when a hint of desperation, or perhaps even panic, creeps into Fred's voice.

"Whoa, whoa. We should take a look at you son, but we're not going to force you to do anything. How many others are there? Are they back at this building? Is anyone hurt or unconscious, like Ms. Sunder?"

"Kiss my ass, you fucking creeps." she shouts, as the flash blares out and she shoots her shot.

Then she takes off running towards the door of the hospital!

"Help! Help! Someone help!" she screams, as frantically as she can, knowing it will draw ER staff.
Aug 11, 2023 3:01 pm
Teeth clenched, Emily rushes out from the car, bat raised, a collision course set for the goon that demands Lilly's camera. Winding up for a hit to the man's face, she swings.

"Leave her alone asshole!"
OOC:
benny time!
OOC:

He starts and says, "More? Yes, there might be, but I don't know. We didn't check every room. I thought it was going to be a party, but it was so musty and gloomy. I have to go back." He holds up his hands. "I'll call the police if there are more, and ambulances if needed. And I'll be safe. Now, thanks, and take care of Priya." He looks at his phone. "I should call her parents."

OOC:
More weirdness with the SWADE rules. Lily, who is going to run, is supposed to add her "Running" die to her Pace. She doesn't have a Running die. If might be a d6 default for everyone, but I think I'm going to just tie it to Athletics. So she'll roll her Athletics die (only, not the Wild Die) and add that result to her pace. She can travel that number x 2 in meters... and any rolls made while running are at -2 (for running). To get a great shot with her camera before she takes off, I'd like a roll as well -- and it's not clear what that would be. Let's say... Taunt?

If she doesn't want the -2 to the roll, she can forego Running and just Move -- her Pace in meters x 2.

Emily indeed got a crit failure, so I'll post up the results of that shortly.

Outside the Hospital

Lily is snapping her pics and then bolting, but Emily passes right by her, bat in hand, preparing to take a swing at the lead goon. That's the shorter guy -- the one calling for the reporter's camera -- and he surprises Emily when he takes the bat right out of her hands, throws it clatteringly to the side, and seizes the girl painfully by the forearm.

"Get the fuckin' camera!" he shouts to his companion as he starts dragging the struggling girl towards his SUV.
OOC:
Zach is up, and need Lily's decisions / rolls from my OOC above.

"Let go of her!" Zach shouts, suddenly panicked at seeing his friend in this situation. He breaks into a sprint to try and reach Emily and once he gets there, he grabs the man's arm, trying to pull at it to give Emily an opportunity to slip out.

OOC:
The "Running" die doesn't explode, but Zach still rolls a 4, increasing his pace to 10, so he can cross the distance and try to free Emily!
Zach moves faster than anyone has seen him move, sprinting over to where Emily's just been grabbed, and in short order he's trying to pull her free. The girl is a helpless rag doll for a moment, but then the suited man's grip slips and she's free!
OOC:
Going to wait on Lily's rolls before moving to the goons.

"Fred Solomon," the nurse says sternly, "do not go back to the place where Priya got hurt, or infected, or whatever! Wait here and we'll have the police come -- they can escort you back and evaluate the place!"

Realization suddenly dawns on the woman's face. "Wait! Your sister is upstairs! Getting discharged today. Fred, level with me: what's going on with you kids?"

"Get your hands OFF OF ME!" Emily shrieks, batting her hands and legs, trying to land a blow anywhere she can.

When Zach manages to free her, she lunges for the bat that the goon took from her. Her forearm screams in pain where the goon twisted it but she shakes it off, adrenaline holding some of the throbbing at bay.

Freddie leaves, heading for the front door. "No time," he quips.
OOC:
At this point Fred is just going to leave, and see if he can talk Emily and the others into going back, otherwise he'll call an uber to meet him at a convenience store on the way back -- he really doesn't want to be here when the cops show up and ask even more delaying questions.

OOC:
From the Discord, I think I KCC said 'No Running' -- so no -2 to Lily's the roll, and success at snapping some solid candids. So, carrying on with the round, Emily and Zach are engaged with the shorter goon, Lily has run back to the van (range: 20m to the SUV / goons), and Fred is about to join the scene, coming out of the hospital.)
Outside the Hospital

"You again! You weren't involved in this kid," the shorter heavy growls at Zach when Emily is torn from his grasp, "but ya are now!" Saying that, the thug throws a punch at the teen's with a ham-sized fist, slamming it into the boy's stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

The taller man, who's been quiet so far, sprints after Lily, chasing her all the way back to the van. She sees him coming, though, and darts around to the other side of the vehicle -- where she suddenly sees Fred emerge from the Hospital, looking surprised at the scene that confronts him!
OOC:
Zach is Shaken -- the punch beat his parry, and the 7 damage beat his Toughness, but there was no raise / wound. The tall goon cannot reach Lily this round, and since Fred is joining the melee, I'll pull a card for him. Emily, worth noting that you posted about going for the bat -- couldn't do that in Round One, but it's a possibility now. It would be an action to move to the bat and grab it, and another if you want to attack. Multi-action rules tell us you can do all this, but at a -2 penalty to rolls. FYI.

Round Two
Round Two order is Lily, Emily, Zach, Tall Goon, Fred, Short Goon. The shorter goon, Emily, and Zach are 20m west of the van. The tall goon is 3m from Lily -- they are on either side of the van. Fred is 5m east of Lily, coming out of the building. Makes relative sense?

Rolls

Short Goon Tries to Punch Zach with Fighting (Parry 4) - (1d6, 1d8, RA)

1d6 : (5) = 5

1d8 : (6) = 6

Tall Goon Running Roll - (1d6, RA)

(1) = 1

Damage to Zach (vs. Toughness 4) - (1d8, RA)

(7) = 7

How might I go about pulling open the van and tossing a few baseball bats out to the others?
Aug 15, 2023 2:01 am
OOC:
Just post that you're doing that. Use your regular move tp get into the van, and your action to find and grab the (other three?) bats. Anyone close enough to Move to you and grab one can do so with a Free Action. (Like their are drawing their own weapon.)
