Yub, Vinny, bursting from a door behind the agent, swings wildly but does not manage to make contact.

Micah takes aim at the Karum and squeezes the trigger. "I hate to agree with Vinny, but die already!"
I also forgot about the penalties for wearing Armor with which I am not practiced. I lowered my Speed pool by 2 points. Have we been here an hour or more to remove a Might point?

Duke gambles clenching his teeth as the group move in concert trying to take the lone gunner down in the chaos.
"Lockdown." he barks out his voice slightly digitized trying to lash out with restraints where there should be none from thin air.

Update: I'll put the 18 roll as +2 damage for a total of -3 which voids armor, actions are one step in Big boy's detriment. Also if he's down I'd like him hanging by chains attached to mid air if possible. =)Last edited March 2, 2018 2:23 pm

Micah's attack strikes the Karum and he stumbles to his knees (4 net damage). Duke's attack finishes him off, and he convulses, suspended from chains of force in the air as his heartbeat slows and then stops.
Silence descends on the hallway, though the cautious among you know that you may still have other foes down here. If they heard the ruckus of these last two battles, and they must have, they have not yet shown themselves.

Duke points at the fallen weapon, "That's a Big F#cking gun..." before turning to Seth, "before you got needle you were saying or doing something that sounded important. What was it?" Duke asks exhaling loudly and holding the side of his helmet.

Micah chuckles, shaking his head and lightly punching LOnstaR on the shoulder as he walks past. Underneath his breath he mumbles, "... Big F#cking gun..." and chuckles again, shaking his head.
He moves to the next corner nearby, poking his head around the corner, looking for any threats they'll have to face next.

"I had a premonition about where we can find the device that we came here for, and thought that, since I had proven myself useless in this situation otherwise, I would let those more...*ahem*...equipped," at this he looks sidelong at Duke in his mechanized glory, "to take care of the Karum while I accomplish our goal, so that at least we could make a hasty retreat if we needed to."
Mar 5, 2018 3:12 pm
Vinny smiles broadly, Bro, you can’t just go running off like that. Shit’s dangerous here. Alright so which way does your "prescription" say to go?
Mar 5, 2018 3:36 pm
" I am familiar with this recursion, and have confidence in my teammates, so I had thought I could sneak off to the location, which is very close to where we are currently, without coming under fire. That is, until this buckethead with a minigun ambushed me. How does someone like that hide at all, let along well enough to pop out of a corner like that?!" He gives Vinny a withering look and continues, "My premonition informed me that the object in question will be found in a room near the center of this level."

Duke searches the large man and grabs the BFG, "Well *Nnngh* we're all here and ready so to speak lets see if we can find the objective... I'm bringing this door knocker in case someone needs it." he declares with a grunt and swear hoisting the gun wondering why the man didn't just bludgeon them with it.
Mar 5, 2018 4:57 pm
Duke finds several more cyphers on the Karum agent: a spine/quill, a green frog-like organ, a cranial graft, and a translucent head sac. The BFG is a heavy ranged weapon or Ruk-ish manufacture.

Duke starts tossing cyphers to Seth and Micah, "If yall can figure out what these do I'd be mighty appreciative. Also I should probably hit the gym when we get back" he explains as he starts to lug the gun around.
Guy wasn't stealthy he probably just stood still and waited due to this thing... he thinks to himself.

Spreading out the cyphers since we might need em plus I think you do might be able to identify, if not let me know. This gun I'm unsure how heavy it is but RP to me it sounds like a crew service weapon and not a one arm carry if you're not swole.Mar 5, 2018 5:06 pm
Seth grabs the cranial graft and the organ, and begins to examine them, feeling that his background in organic chemistry and medicine will best aid him in the identification of those cyphers.
Mar 5, 2018 5:10 pm
The gun requires two hands to carry and operate, and may be best handled by resting it on something unless you have a harness straps. Think M60 but squatter.
Cyphers can be indentified with an Intellect test against step 1 or 2, so not hard at all, and may be automatic for trained in The Strange characters.

[ +- ] Strange Training
You are trained in general topics regarding the Strange, which allows you to attempt to understand and identify related phenomena, including the effect of a particular cypher. Strange training is also sometimes called Strange knowledge or Strange lore.
OOC:
I have strange training, but it is not clear if I can figure out a cypher automatically. It looks like it just allows me to attempt it, so I will give it a roll. I'll do a roll for each one. "Micah, would you like me to inspect your take as well?"

OOC:
Being Trained gives you a one-step asset in the test, so if it is difficulty 1, you can't fail. You would still need to roll against a difficulty 2, unless you are Specialized (doubly Trained) in which case you would automatically succeed at difficulty 2 or lower.[ +- ] Seth's Cyphers
Frog-like Organ: Contextualizer, level 5: Effect: Explodes in an immediate radius, changing the context of any creature in the area to the context of the currently occupied recursion. Native creatures and translated visitors are unaffected, but affected creatures who arrived through an inapposite gate are treated as if they had stepped through a translation gate to arrive in the current recursion. As a result, certain items possessed by a target creature, or even a creature itself that does not possess the spark, are immediately
returned to their native recursions.
Cranial graft: Intelligence enhancement, level 4: Effect: The difficulty of any task involving intelligent deduction, such as playing chess, inferring a connection between clues, solving a mathematical problem, finding a bug in computer code, and so on, is decreased by two steps for the user for one hour. In the hour following the first, the strain increases the difficulty by two steps for the same tasks.
