[Date: December 23rd, 2015. Time: 2220 hours.] [Last time in Kaminari no Shimei, our brave heroines valiantly fought against the vicious minions of evil. If by "fought" you mean "snuck around" and "vicious minions of evil" you meant, well, "vicious minions of evil."] * Xianginator is now known as Xiang-Fei [But these particular minions of evil came as hunters. This particular corp (unknown at this time) tracked the group here and sent forth a battalion of camo-soldiers. Fortunately, Sean managed to show up with thermogoggles to help Olivia and Xiang-Fei see the threat, but how did he find out about them too anyway?] [Start of File.] (And roll init.) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (d6+7) and gets a natural 2 for a result of 9. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Olivia (d6+6) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. [Order: Sean, Olivia, Camo1, Camo2, Xiang-Fei, Camo3] (...that's not a good way to start...) [Sean starts out by taking a shot at one of the moving blobs. The bullet sparks as it ricochets off something and the outline of a person all in dark grey melds into existance. The spark starts a small fire with which the man lets out a muffled scream and starts trying to pat it out frantically.] (Crit failed defense, first roll.) [Olivia!] (*snerks*) (Um... How about I hide?) (Where?) (Where is there to hide? x.x) (Anywhere there would be on a cargo ship. How about some crates or barrels?) (Or back in the cabin area.) ( Behind those red barrels marked "CAUTION: EXPLOSIVE" ) (Oh damn. And I forgot. Hans goes after Xiang-Fei.) (Hmmm, I think behind some sturdy-looking crates would be good.) (NOt that he'll really do much, but need to remember he's there. ^_^;) * Olivia takes the opportunity to hide behind some crates. Go get'em! [Hans snorts. "I see we have a brave one here." Ignore the fact that he's not necessarily rushing out there either.] (Yeah, I'm not doing anything else.) [One of the closer camo soldiers moves like he's drawing something from his belt (though you can't see what, it just appears dark on the thermogoggles.) The other is still trying to put out the fire.] [Xiang-Fei's turn.] * Xiang-Fei rushes out, charging for the one that just drew something. With a cry she whirls at him, her swords flashing as they spin. 2 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2 2d6-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 8 5. ( Made the 2nd. ) (...) [Xiang-Fei swings both of her swords. Unfortunately, the goggles are disorienting. The first swing just misses the supposed hand of her foe. The second has Xiang-Fei swinging low. The figure seems to anticipate it and disappears upward from her register, only to have Xiang-Fei feel a sharp kick to her back as he flips over her, sending her stumbling for a bit.] (First crit fail, then crit success. @_@) * Xiang-Fei gets up in a hurry, trying to smack him in the chin with the hilt of her blade. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. ( Got that one :D ) [Xiang-Fei manages to smack him, sending him staggering back slightly. She can't know how bad she hurt him, since she can't see him but at least it felt pretty solid.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 3. [Xiang-Fei catches just a shift of movement at the edge of her thermogoggle's sensor. She gets to defend, yay!] ( What kinda defense? ) (Melee) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-5) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 0. [Xiang-Fei manages to twist out of the way of an attack from behind. The blob goes rushing past her. Sean takes a shot at him and something goes flying with a ting sound. There's a loud yell and a spray of blood coming from nowhere as a serrated combat knife comes into vision and skitters on the ground.] [And Hans hides with Olivia, yo.] ( He's not hiding, he's protecting her in case someone makes it past us! ) (And yes, that's another crit success by my dice. I'm tempted to use dicey, this is insane.) ( Are you rolling 2-sided dice again? ) (<.< >.>) [Camo soldier 1 finally manages to put the flames out. The second takes a swing at Xiang-Fei. Fortunately, she can see this blob coming. She needs to defend.] (Melee.) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-5) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 1. [Xiang-Fei dodges it smoothly, which she can put into her next attack.] * Xiang-Fei actually steps forwards as she goes, letting the knife go past her as she drives the hilts of both swords to the man's stomach. 2 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2 2d6-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3 3. [The man tries to pull away, catching a glancing blow in the stomach with the first one enough to knock him out of the way of the second. He still seems winded by the strike though.] * Xiang-Fei isn't finished, though, and throws a kick towards his head as he doubles over. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 1. (Is that actually a called shot?) ( Nope ) [The man gets a boot to the shoulder. Still a boot. He falters onto the deck though. The one who was slashed seems to be going after Sean's gun, but doesn't quite get there in time.] [Sean doesn't seem to care for that and swivels his gun on the one coming after him. He shoots him in the shoulder area. Olivia gets a good look at the blob! It looks blobarific.] (blobloblob) [Meanwhile, Xiang-Fei needs two defenses.] 2 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2 2d6-5) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5 0. ( double make ) [Xiang-Fei manages to avoid a slash from both sides. It's her turn.] * Xiang-Fei is conveniently caught inbetween them, and stabs outwardly to either side with her own swords, aiming for non-vital points in their shoulders. 2 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2 2d6-1) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 8 6. ( Miss and hit ) [Xiang-Fei's blade narrowly misses the one on the left, but strikes the one on the right, which happens to be the one you can see now. He staggers back and clutches his spreading wound. Though his mouth is masked, you can kind of see it twist into a scowl.] * Xiang-Fei doesn't like being scowled at, and swings her other blade around to hit him in the side of the head with the flat. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3. [Xiang-Fei manages to clock him in the side of the head with her blade and he goes down.] [The third tries again to go after Sean. This time, he gets the gun knocked clean out of his hands. It skitters across the deck and slides next to where Olivia's hiding.] [Sean scowls. "Well, that's a kicker, i'n't?" He tries to sweep the figure off its feet but it jumps above his foot.] [Olivia! Taking any action with the gun?] * Olivia stays hiding! Nope, no action. Except for maybe holding it... no, not really. [Right. The one left standing takes another slash at Xiang- Fei, missing by a hair's breadth. Her turn.] * Xiang-Fei drops one of her blades as he does that, trying to grab his outstretched arm as she weaves around his attack. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-5) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 1. [Xiang-Fei manages to grab hold of something solid.] * Xiang-Fei slips around behind his back, bring his arm with him and forcing him into an uncomfortable position. She tries to grab his other arm, so as to keep him from doing anything. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. ( The other number should have been -4 up there. My bad. ) [The man squirms enough that Xiang-Fei can't get a tighter grip just yet. She still has a hold of him though.] * Xiang-Fei keeps a good hold of him, then! [The one still active takes another swing at Sean but misses this time. Sean curses and goes after his gun.] (Body roll with unarmed attack, Xiang. SS counts.) ( SS is +4? ) (Yes.) 2d6-8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of -3. ( Yeah, he ain't getting free :P ) [The man tries to struggle, but Xiang-Fei is like a rock. He doesn't budge, and it's her turn to try and pin again.] (Still not the lowest roll I've seen for strength. XD) * Xiang-Fei certainly does just that. ( She's only got one level. ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. (Is Olivia watching?) (Yes! Well, if she can see it anyways.) (Xiang and Olivia give me a...hmm...) ( Hmm ) (What would be good for understanding sensor readouts and equipment?) (Military Sciences?) ( Bwahahaha ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. ( Hell no ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Olivia (2d6) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. (Nope!) [The man is held firm. If you could see his face, he might have a wince, but as is all you can see is a multi-colored blob. Xiang-Fei's arm looks like a blob holding another blob, though she can see the outline of hers gripping onto nothing. Eerie.] [Sean gets his gun and manages to shoot the last. His suit flickers for a moment before he falls down to the deck. Sean lets out a breath and stands, calling. "I think it might be okay to come out now." (And that's out of combat for now.) * Xiang-Fei keeps a nice tight grip on the last one. "Who is you? Why you try shoot us?!" [The man in her grip doesn't answer her.] * Xiang-Fei pulls his arm up. It probably hurts and, if she pulled it high enough, would snap like a toothpick even without her strength. But for now, she settles for hurting. "Who?! Why?!" * Olivia peeks out. "You sure? we're not going to get shot?" [Sean looks over his shoulder at Olivia and gives her a charming smile. "Not today at least, luv." He checks the situation again. "Well, not right now at least." (And Xiang gives me an intimidation roll.) ( Any bonus? ) ( From having him in a position where she can hurt him and he can't do anything about it? :D ) Good good. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. ( Made unless there's mind, if there's no bonus. ) * Olivia is visibly shaken from the fighting, but manages to stay on her feet. (No bonus on account of these being trained soldiers.) ( He still can't do anything, but eh, I still made it :P ) [There's a small voice that seems strained. "Fidelis wants you dead. Prower..." Who that? Huh? What's he saying? [THere's a smug silence in front of Xiang-Fei. If silence can be smug.] * Xiang-Fei pulls his arm up again. "You talk or you be very sad." (You tell 'em, Xiang!) ( She has such a way with words. ) [Hans comes out from the hiding place too. "Yeah. I forgot how bloody the field actually is.] [The man scoffs. "Where did you learn Japanese? Remedial school?"] * Xiang-Fei just tightens her grip. She's got a strong grip. * Olivia comes out of her hiding place. "I wouldn't say that to someone who can paralyze you from the waist down." Where you learn pick up you teeth? You going to learn here, is where. * Olivia gulps. [She does. The man's still not saying anything more though.] * Xiang-Fei looks to Sean for help! [Sean takes out his gun and aims it at the guy Xiang-Fei's holding. Awareness roll!] (Both of you.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Xiang-Fei (2d6-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. ( Nope! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Olivia (2d6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. (Nope!) [It definitely looks like he's going to shoot him.] * Xiang-Fei stares. "H-hey!" Hey, don't go shooting him! [Sean shrugs slightly, gun in the air. "Relax." He aims again and pulls the trigger. The shot rips through something on the guy's left shoulder (probably a little too close for Xiang-Fei's comfort) and the guy appears in his grey ninja-like suit.] * Xiang-Fei tries not to flinch. [Sean puts his gun in the holster. "It helps if we can actually see him." He walks up to the guy and kneels forward. "*Now* we talk, yes?" [Hans is about to say something when Xiang-Fei notices some movement behind her. Olivia spots it too.] * Xiang-Fei spins to see what it is, turning her captive with her. [Xiang-Fei sees an Aaron climbing up on top of the pier! From the way he's shifting about, he's probably trying to be stealthy. Don't disturb him.] * Olivia points at the movement. "Um, um, uh..." (Tonight is *far* from my night to be unintentionally badass. ;p) * Xiang-Fei doesn't wave since she's got her hands full, but she does yell, "Hi Aa-!" She stops when she realizes he's probably trying to be stealthy. (Quick! Hop Aaron up on drugs!) (Ohgod. Now *that* was a freaky dice session. ^_~) (Xiang-Fei is so sweet.) (Aww, thank you, Xiang. ^_^) * Xiang-Fei mumbles, quietly. "Nevermind." * Aaron realizes that his cover is probably pretty well blown now and hops up onto the deck. [Sean glances at him slightly, then turns back to the man they're interrogating, drawing his gun and putting it to his forehead. "What was that name again?" * Aaron stands there and drips. He's even less intimidating than usual. [The man looks up at Sean and snorts. "What does it matter? You'll kill me anyway."] Will not. But you maybe wish we do if you no tell what we want [Sean shrugs slightly. "Maybe. Maybe not. But if we don't kill you, I think you would prefer to have two working arms, right?"] * Olivia ehehs and stays back. That what I say. [Sean smiles and salutes Xiang-Fei. "So you did! I didn't think you had it in you, luv."] * Xiang-Fei beams. [The man sighs, resigned. "I told you. Prower. Nicolas Prower. He's the one you want."] (Not Miles Prower?) (*runs!*) (No, not Miles Prower.) (Actualy they want Nicolas Juzda.) Who that is? 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Aaron (2d6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. [The man shrugs. "Man used to be a psychologist. He got out of it when he started working for Fidelis. There's been talk of some big project lately."] What project? * Aaron rubs his chin with a finger and hmms softly. [Sean hmms for a second. "Nicolas. I think that's the name I heard over--" He stops himself and looks pointedly at their "company".] * T.J. emerges on the deck as well. He looks around, trying to see what he's landed in now. * Xiang-Fei blinks. [The man shakes his head. "It's a corp project. You think they'd tell a grunt?"] (Can someone let me know what the scene here is?) * Xiang-Fei boggles at the concept of trying to give information to a sound effect. (Two people in grey suits, one being held by Xiang-Fei and Sean kneeling in front of him, one unconscious with scorch marks.) (Olivia and Hans are just onlooking right now.) [Sean glances over at Xiang-Fei. "Have what you need?] * Xiang-Fei blinks at Sean. Rowyn> [Sean gestures with his gun to the man she's holding.] Oh! * Xiang-Fei nods. [Sean nods. "Then let him go or knock him out and let’s get out of here."] * Xiang-Fei nods and thwacks the man upside the head. [The man goes down. Coup de grace.] [Sean lets out a breath and holsters his weapon again. End of File.]
