The Mission

The huge German warrior slashes Irish heavily, although Irish does avoid some of the blow. Still, his chest is torn open, blood spraying.

That's 9 damage and ignores one point of armor. Irish has Armor 2 so that's 8 Stress. Because it's 5+ Stress in one attack, that causes an injury.

Injury 1: Open chest wound, can't lift arms above shoulder level.

Both Irish and James are up.

Dan and Sabine run back toward the sound of fighting. You'll get to go in the next round (following the German's next attack).

Irish is rocked by the wound. If things weren’t so immediate (if he had been wounded like this in a field somewhere), he might have lain down to die. But as things were, he was like a cornered animal, forced to try and survive so that the end might not be so violent.

He pulls his weapon and fires at close quarters!

"Oh bother."

More Revolver.

Gunfire opens up on the big Nazi but his armor seems to absorb all of it.

He slashes again at Irish, looking to take out one of you at a time. He laughs.

Opposed melee roll from Irish. One success or more and he misses.

From inside the door he was guarding you hear a questioning tone yelled in German.

Status Table
Momentum: 0
Threat: 8

Sabine blanches when she sees Irish’s injuries, and the huge Nazi’s armor. Quickly pocketing her pistol, she instead unshoulders her SMLE and tries to brace it on a piece of equipment so she can fire it one-handed. Working the bolt to fling a piece of .303 brass into the air, she waits for a clear shot!

Dan holsters his knife and pulls out his Thompson. The gig was up. It was time to spray the big guy with machine gun fire. As quickly as he could he pointed at the man's head, where the armor wasn't and squeezed the trigger.

As the Thompson chatters, spitting .45s at the German, Sabine's rifle reports as well, thunderously loud inside the gondola!

Irish is desperate, and so tries to block the blow with his gun, little protection though it may be!

The slash hits hard, and Irish takes two wounds, one from running out of Stress, and one for 5 Stress in one attack.

Once you have suffered 3 injuries, in any combination, you are defeated. If you are defeated and have more physical injuries than mental ones, you are also dying. At the end of each of a dying character’s turns, roll 1 . If you roll an effect, the character dies from their injuries.

However, you can spend a Fortune to Avoid Defeat: The character may spend a Fortune point when they are defeated to immediately return from defeat, either as soon as they are defeated, or at some point later in that scene.

Dan: 2 successes, and he spends the extra on damage. 7 damage plus 5 effects. He has Armor 5, so that's 2 Stress. That's Stun 5. He's stunned and cannot take any actions next turn.

Sabine: 11 damage, less 5 armor is 6 more Stress. That's also an injury, but he's not a mook and so easily defeated. His Resilience is 3, and so isn't stunned. One more injury and he's down, though.

@esidrix: James is up.

The blow rocks Irish, cutting into him like a hot knife through butter. The man feels the life blood seeping from his chest, but can do nothing to stem the tide.

His vision swims, and then goes dark. He faintly hears the din of battle still raging over his head.

I've been miserly with the Fortune Points, so since Irish is going to survive anyway, then everyone can take 1 Fortune.

"Shot him again Sabine, dead center."

Dan is stunned and can only watch, his body refusing to move, as he sees Irish is hurt badly. All Dan can do is think, and though not a religious man, he offers a prayer to no one in particular.

Please help the Irishman. Don't let him die.

@harrigan, free action to you (James passes his to Sabine).
