OOC:

Whelp, that’s it for surprise / stealth then!

OOC:

Irish was already lunging at the German so...

Sep 13, 2023 4:36 pm

OOC:

…you opened up with a Thompson submachinegun. :D

Don’t get me wrong — love it. Just not subtle!

Sep 13, 2023 5:36 pm

OOC:

Dan is a little blustery...heh

Sep 13, 2023 5:58 pm

OOC:

Four damage, less two for armor, plus two effects. The effects are Area and Stun. Area won't help because Irish took out the other guy. Stun, however will leave the guy unable to act on his next turn. Sound good?

OOC:

Sounds perfect to me!

Irish runs out of the darkness, padfooting in his boots, and when they hear him coming, his sabre strikes one down. The man crashes to the ground clutching his chest as blood pours forth.

The other Nazi reaches for a weapon when the excitable Dan Gregg unloads with the Thompson. The man suffers a number of impacts, staggering backwards and stunned by the savagery of this evening shift change. The powerfully loud Thompson M1911 lights the area with muzzle flash and its booming reverberations.

The loading platform stops descending as the two on that peer over the side to determine WTF.

OOC:

James can open up with the Sten if that's his goal. Sabine can attack as well.

BTW, I'm spending 5 Threat to wake the five enemies sleeping in the camp near you, mwa haha.

Momentum: 2

OOC:

Climbing equipment or burglars tools will surely have a grappling hook, right?

OOC:

I guess the salient point is how high is the platform ?

Sep 14, 2023 2:05 pm

OOC:

It's about 5 or 6 meters from the ground. If you would like to use a grappling hook, then make an Athletics (Climbing) test, difficulty 2. If he is successful, how are the rest of you going to keep the 2 men on the lift from cutting the rope, or kicking it off?

OOC:

The old fashioned way.

Swann aims the Sten at the two men on the platform.

OOC:

A I reading this right, if a weapon has multiple 'Effects' they are all trigged by the effect dice. Meaning I hit the additional target (since there is only one) and then both targets take 2 Stun?

Following Swann's lead, Sabine opens up with her recently acquired MP40, bracing it as best she can as the machine pistol barks and rattles and shakes, spitting lead at the platform and the two men on it, throwing sparks and splinters off the lift.

OOC:

Minor Action to aim, so she can reroll one of the d20s. Complication range is 17-20 as a result of her injuries.

Edit: I suspect she cannot reroll the 18, which is a Complication, so rerolling the 11... and I *think* that's a hit, so rolling damage. Looks like 5 damage?

I believe!

Thinking to climb up the remainder of the way, Irish quickly tosses his grappling hook, hoping to snag one of the corners, and then quickly claim the platform.

Dan is right behind Irish, ducking and covering him in case any more Germans appear as the man throws the grappling hook which successfully gains purchase on the platform. Dan attempts to climb up onto the platform, hopefully before the stunned German starts firing.

"Cover me now!" he calls back to the others when he sees Irish not make it up.

Effect symbols rolled trigger all of the weapon effects a given weapon has, and many weapon effects have a greater impact the more effect symbols are rolled.

Any die can be rerolled, with no prohibition on the complication, so Sabine doesn't trigger one.

The complication range is 19-20 for D2 actions (and correspondingly larger as the difficulty increases, so Irish got one success and one complication. I'll rule that he slides back to the ground.

As the Nazi soldier on the ground shudders from the Thompson, Sabine and James clear the platform, riddling the two soldiers with fire. One or killed and the other is near death, but stunned.

Irish attempts to climb up, but his hands slip and he tumbles down.

Dan leaps up and just like in infantry school, climbs the rope and slides over the edge as the Nazi there attempts to recover.

The second soldier on the ground was stunned for two rounds, as well. So everybody can act again. Both the soldier on the grind and the one on the platform are hurt bad but still capable of shooting.

Dan starts to lower the platform and move the hook out of the way, then quickly provides cover fire for the others.

"Come on, Irish. Easy on this time, huh?" He glances at the stunned soldier and knowing that he will be at him soon enough he pulls out his pistol and fires.

Irish turns back to beckon for the others.

"Move your arses, and quick. Once we’re up, we’re away! They can’t follow!"

He rushes to the platform, pulling his gun, and ready to lay down suppressive fire if any Germans show their faces while the other squad members make the mad dash for the platform!

Sep 17, 2023 3:20 pm

Running from cover, breaking for the platform, Sabine winces at the effort but also targets the German on the ground who is still alive. She loosens a quick burst from her weapon, trying to put him down for good.

OOC:

Movement and Attack. Must admit, the way automatic weapons work in his game is wonky. Hurts my head a little.

Edit: Misses unless the Difficulty was 0 due to him being Stunned.
