Mission 2, Encounter 7, Round 24.
Cultist chosen one #1 is dying.
Cyrill pushes the unlocked door open and rushes into the room beyond. Quickly scanning the room he sees no hostile targets. This room looks different from the rest of the rooms cleared so far. This room obviously was the bed room to someone with higher ranking that the others encountered. An unmade bed lies in one corner of the room while in another there is an antique iron bound metal trunk. A large green rug covers the floor of the chamber, and mounted on one of the walls next to a closed door is the body of a giant ant. Cyrill notices that the door exiting to the West is unlocked.
Carl moves up the stairs now that the cultists have been taken care off heading to where the rest of the squad was advancing.
Sarge sees a huge catastrophe developing as Jacob comes bounding up the stairs and Cyrill and Mel prepare to charge through the unlocked door. Sarge yells at Jacob, “STOW IT!!!”, as Jacob brings the demo pack up ready to mash it against the door that was blocking their way. Sarge continues to mutter under his breath with reference to a trigger happy demolitions squadie and a previous occasion where the CO’s new BMW (Anti-Grav Series XXIV) was totalled as it was mistaken for a “hostile” target during a previous mission.
Jacob reluctantly does not place the demo pack against the door but rather watches as Mel and Cyrill clear the room.
Mel charges into the room, taking up position to cover Cyrill as they advance.
Carina herds the hostages and cultists towards the exit.
Squad actions please.
