The Last Ambush

Dec 2, 2016 7:55 pm

"To be honest, I'm looking to do a tour of the neighborhood. What is there to see and do around here? Where are the safe areas, and the ones that need a bit of work? I'm always looking for ways to better serve my constituents, but in order to do that I need to understand the bigger picture. Do you have a moment to walk and talk with me? I'd love to hear your perspective. This makes for such a wonderful opportunity! And please, feel free to continue smoking. Don't stop on my behalf."

"Despite our initial appearance, Ma'am, we are on duty" the first officer responds.

OOC:

Go ahead and give me an Average (2 purple die) Coercion skill check. If you succeed they'll follow you around, otherwise they'll hold their position and wish you a good day.

"My apologies! I meant no disrespect, I only thought you were taking a break from patrolling this neighborhood."

OOC:

Oh come on!

"Couldn't hurt, could it?" the second officer says "I mean, nothing's going on around here..."

Shooting his partner an annoyed glance over his shoulder the first officer takes a deep breath and lets out an exasperated sigh. "Fine, fine" he relents and motions Xin to lead the way. "Where to, Ma'am?"

OOC:

As soon as Xin draws the two officers away the rest of you are free to start investigating the ambush site.

"Be ready to move," Bast whispers to the others as he watches the exchange, concealed.

C6 readies both blaster pistols, as soon as Xin and the 2 watchmen move out of sight he moves out to investigate the area.

OOC:

Gonna roll a Skulldugery check to try and scope out a suitable ambush point, adding 2 purples but if the difficulties different let me know and I'll reroll those

You watch as Xin manages to lead the two security officers away from the site. Where she may be leading them is anyone's guess, but for now the path to the site is clear. The site that your contact has chosen appears to be well thought out. There are two abandoned apartment buildings on either side of the narrow road, each is three stories in height, and have been completely gutted of furnishing, doors, and windows. Empty shells of their former selves.

C6-9K calculates his options and concludes that there isn't a particular advantage to either building or location within them.

OOC:

@Moofs: Taking these guys anywhere in particular? Going to try and lose them and make it back to the site?
@mcneils: Two difficulty is always a good base to start from when taking a roll. I can add/remove dice as needed if the guess is off.

When Bast spots the site, he pauses. "I'm hesitant to leave one of us alone if Xin can't find her way back, so we might just want to stick together." Even if there's no significant advantage, Bast picks one of the buildings, deciding for one minor reason or another that it is "better," and makes his way to it. "Lets get up to the second floor," he says, slinging his rifle off of his shoulder.

OOC:

Edited dialogue because Bast was contradicting himself. That's what I get for being tired while posting.

Ishala nods and follows. "I'm going to head up to the roof to see if I can get eyes-on"

I allow the men to lead at first, and then continuously point out other destinations that I think is where I want to go.

OOC:

Ultimately, I lead them far away from the ambush site and keep on walking and talking until I'm able to lose them.

Bast gives Ishala a thumbs-up before cradling his rifle under one arm and making his way to the second floor.

While Xin continues her walk with the two Falu Security Force officers the rest of you take up positions in the building. C6-9K and Bast find adjacent empty rooms on the second floor each having a clear view of the road below them. After a bit of searching around Ishala finds a route to the roof top where she has a view of the field just south of the site.

Being an older city, Falu's narrow roads are generally off limit to any type of vehicular traffic, leading the resource teams to disembark just outside of the city limits. Today is no different and as Ishala scans the horizon she can make out the approaching transport heading her way.

OOC:

@Moofs - When you're ready and want to attempt to lose the FSF officers make a Stealth check against a RED/PUR difficulty
@Everyone - If you're all good with your positions let me know what you're doing as the transport approaches. It'll just be a few more moments before they reach their location

"See anything, Ishala?" Bast whispers over the comlink. He'll take a moment to inspect his rifle, setting his extra ammo in easy-to-reach pouches. He'll take debris and other items from within the room (if any) and stack them up by the window for some extra cover, so long as nothing he grabs would look obvious and out of place. Once done, he'll stay out of side, crouched below the window.

C6 moves to take position, trying to remain hidden from view but whilst still able to see the direction that the Resource Team should be coming from.

OOC:

making a Stealth check to try and get out of sight as much as possible

Edit: Hmmm, odd - should just read as a net Triumph as the Success part of it should cancel the failure....it's a moot point though if the difficulty is different than that

Ishala murmurs into the open comm, "I've got the transport on approach. They've haven't disembarked yet."

Dec 12, 2016 10:15 am

"Xin, are you still with the security?" He whispers into the comlink once more. He pauses a moment and follows up with, "Feel free to not reply if you are."

I hear Bast in my comlink just as I'm trying to subtlety lose the two officers. Hope I'm not too late!
