Freddie nods at her. "We have to try. Back me up." He knows Lily is a friggin ninja with a bat, but he's hoping he can distract the aggressor long enough for the real muscle to take them down.

Whoever they are.

"What the fuck?" Emily sees the figures ahead, the scuffling ... "They have someone! Shit. Yeah, let's go."

Emily raises the gun and creeps ahead hoping to get as close as she can before being spotted.

OOC:
If this is a stealthy approach, going forward to where you're about to see the figures disappear through a door, let's have the worse of you make a Stealth check. Let's say... Emily.

Fred and Lily can Support. Both of you make Stealth checks too. Each success will be worth +1 to Emily's roll.

Zach tries to brace his foot against the door to try and keep from being pushed into the terrifying steam plant, but Myers, with that unnatural strength, manhandles the boy through. The teen’s foot catches in the doorframe, and gets wrenched as he’s dragged into the room. It hurts, and will not be fun to run on.

His foot, though, appears to be the least of his worries. This room… this dark, dripping, humid, awful room…

It must be where everyone has been… slugged. Infected with an extra-terrestrial parasite. Subjected to some kind of alien intruder! The smells in here, the sights, the puddles of who knew what, the empty cases suggesting a few dozen humans have been already been… taken over.

Aaron Connery
"Zach!" Aaron cries, still under the frightful motor control of the red thing. "What are those things?! What are they going to do to us!?"

Belinda Solomon
"Quiet!" Belinda shouts at the boy, cowing him. "This ceremony is sacred, the process is delicate! Maintain decorum!"

Mr. Unger
Myers muscles Zach closer to Aaron, walking him past Unger and the tray of weird-looking implements. The bearded man puts something down on the tray, a hand-held, silver, pistol-looking thing. He wears a slightly puzzled and thoroughly annoyed look on his face.

"Doesn’t work, like I said before," the man says to Mr. Myers, who rolls his eyes as he moves Zach forward.
Outside the now closed door, Zach’s three friends successfully creep up quietly to the entrance of the steam plant…
OOC:
Zach, that fumble results in an Injured Foot condition. -1 to Pace, -1 to rolls where running is important.

Emily… that looks like a +1 bonus rather than +2… but you’re still successful. You can extend the success to opening the door and peeking in if you like…
Dec 12, 2023 2:12 am
OOC:
You're right. I wishfully read KCC's benny roll as a success.
Waving Lilly and Freddie to get behind her, Emily steels herself as she prepares to peek at whatever is going on on the other side of that door. Gritting her teeth, the girl slowly pushes it open... just enough to see inside. Her palm starts to feel moist on the grip of the pistol and she fears it might slip.
Dec 12, 2023 7:33 am
Zach howls in pain when Myers just pushes him into the room, twisting his foot in a way it's not supposed to go. He can't stop the alien-possessed man from pushing him into the room and he can feel his heart racing with fear at what he sees in here and what he knows will soon happen to Aaron and him. "You want us to be quiet and respect your ceremonies?" Zach asks, looking around between their captors, trying to figure out who the leader is among them. His eyes settle on Fred's mom, though mostly because he wants her to stop shouting at Aaron. He's not sure of any hierarchical structures here. "Give us a moment then. Tell that thing to let go of Aaron and let us talk for a minute. I'll explain everything to him and then... Then you can get it over with."

KCC

Zach’s shouting and defiance gives Lily a moment to whisper:

"Lets just go! No point in waiting! They’re distracted!" she says quickly, hefting the mallet and ready for action!
Dec 12, 2023 3:18 pm
Emily holds her gun so tightly now her fingers feel as though they'll have to be pried off. She could fire from the door opening, reload, and fire again. But this wasn't just any target practice. These were ... what were they exactly? She turns wide-eyed to Freddie. Her question is obvious.

Should she?
OOC:
What's the range from the door to the freakizoids? Her shooting stats aren't great and with the penalty for another shot...
Dec 12, 2023 4:27 pm
"Fuck em, shoot to wound."

Freddie charges along the side wall, claw hammer ready to nail Mr. Unger. He won't hold back this time.
OOC:
He's trying to stay out of Emily's sight line.
Dec 12, 2023 4:47 pm
"Jesus, Freddie, I'm no sharpshooter and it's only a pistol, not known for accuracy at this distance. I suppose I could aim for the knees," she whispers."

She takes a deep breath, holds it, and points at Unger's knees when the man is putting things on a tray.
OOC:
Emily will roll. Please apply appropriate distance penalties etc.

Rolls

Emily Richardsen: Shooting - (1d4, 1d6, RA)

1d4 : (42) = 6

1d6 : (2) = 2

Shooting Damage - (1d6, RA)

(5) = 5

There is quiet, urgent conversation at the door as Zach, across the expansive room, makes his plea and it falls on deaf ears. Anyone looking at the cracked-open door would see the end of a small automatic pistol, and Emily aims for a solid two or three seconds before she fires at Unger and all hell breaks loose.
OOC:
Okay. Lot of rules in play here!

Called Shot: -2 (Emily is aiming for Unger’s leg)
Range: 20m — up to 24m is short range, so all good.
Aiming: Cancels up to 4pts of range and called shot penalties. So no -2 from the latter, above.
The Drop: Unger has no idea this is coming. +4 for Emily to hit, and damage. Unger might be taken out by this shot — has to pass a Vigor test.
Surprise: All foes (everyone in the room, really, we’ll do this for Zach and Aaron too) must pass a Notice check or not act on the first round of initiative.

Based on all this, Emily’s attack is a 10, which is a Raise vs. a short range target number of 4. That means she rolls an additional +1d6 damage… and I’ll note that the 9mm Kahr P9 (which now has 6 rounds left, please track that, Emily) does base 2d6 rather than the 1d6 Windy rolled. To keep this moving along, I’ll roll the 1d6+1d6+4 extra damage.

Rolls

Extra Damage from the 9mm - (2d6+4, RA)

(51) + 4 = 10

Mr. Unger
Emily’s gun thunders once and the girl’s aim is true — everyone in the steam plant jumps in surprise, and suddenly Unger is howling, limping away from the table, grabbing at his bloody leg!
OOC:
That’s 15 damage to Unger, which means he’s shaken and picks up two wounds. Edit: Soak is successful, so just one wound is suffered.

Rolls

Benny spent to try and Soak the wounds - (1d10, 1d6, RA)

1d10 : (6) = 6

1d6 : (3) = 3

Vigor Roll to Avoid Being Knocked Out (from The Drop) - (1d10-1, 1d6-1, RA)

1d10-1 : (7) - 1 = 6

1d6-1 : (1) - 1 = 0

Dec 13, 2023 7:17 am
OOC:
Notice checks for Initiative — everyone passed except Aaron.

Belinda Notice - (1d6, 1d6, RA)

1d6 : (4) = 4

1d6 : (2) = 2

Unger Notice - (1d6, 1d6, RA)

1d6 : (4) = 4

1d6 : (1) = 1

1d6 : (5) = 5

1d6 : (63) = 9

OOC:
Ice or Notice, that is the question

Belinda Solomon
Getting low, unable to avoid flinching at the sound of the gunfire, Belinda recovers her senses and moves forward when she sees the three teens busting into the room. Using her body to block and protect the cases full of helpless slugs, the pretty blonde holds up both hands. "No! Stop! Fred, no, stop your friend!"

There’s a crashing sound as Unger, wounded, scrambles for cover, putting some crates between himself and the shooter.
OOC:
Zach is up, then Lily.
Dec 13, 2023 7:33 am
Zach, though surprised by this sudden change in the scene, immediately turns to Aaron, trying to pull the red thing off the other boy.
OOC:
It's probably either Fighting or Athletics, which are both a D4 for Zach

Rolls

Zachary Tidwell: Fighting - (1D4, 1D6, RA)

1D4 : (1) = 1

1D6 : (1) = 1
