Brownout Part I: Into the night

OOC: Okay, here's the situation: I'm on 12 hour shifts until further notice (sorry about the slow posts). I WILL post at least once per day, but it may be at odd hours. Just keep an eye out, and sorry for the slow going ;)
_______________________________________
Jeremy and Angel: You both make it to the back of the diner without a problem. It seems the Guardsmen are focused on those outside at the moment.
____________________________________
Kevin: You barely dodge a spray of automatic fire as you dive behind the dumpster. You immediately hear curses from the National Guardsmen, quickly followed by orders to "take 'em out!"
____________________________________
Father Flannigan: As you perform last rites, you get the sense of something deeply wrong with the dead body. Something that abhors you to the deepest core of your being. As you look down to Mick's body, you suddenly notice that it is covered in maggots. Thousands of maggots.
_______________________________________
Ben: If you want to, you can change your action (due to your place in the initiative order. If not, then a spray of bullets has just brought up a plume of dust and dirt dangerously close to your head.
_______________________________________
Jaque: Automatic fire tears through you as you run (6 damage). You manage to make it to the relative cover of the general store's doorway. You see Kevin taking cover behind the dumpster across the street.
_______________________________________
Adrian: You can now cast that spell if you want. If not, then I need an action out of you.
_______________________________________
Everyone: Upon realizing that Mick is dead, Martha runs out into the street, screaming bloody murder at the National Guardsmen. Gripped by some sort of temporary insanity, she charges straight for them, shouting incomprehensibly. The only words you can make out are "Mick!" and "good man, you bastards!" Martha gets halfway to the guardsmen before a hail of bullets physically lifts her off the ground and sends her flying five feet back. She lies on the ground in a pool of blood, unmoving and silent.

"Well, I guess we know how friendly they are," Jeremy says. He gets a twinkle in his eye and takes a puff on his cigarette. He looks at Angel and her gun.

"I was better trained than a National Guardsmen by the time I was six and you look like you know how to handle yourself. Let's show 'em how its done."

And he goes out a back entrance and moves silently (Roll: 8 [Ack!] +5 = 13) around the building in order to flank the Guardsmen.

Jaque curses silently from his cover. Another innocent killed. He looks down and realises that he's bleeding. A 5.56mm round probably found its way to his left arm, it certainly hurt. He drops down to one knee before revealing enough of himself to the National Guard that he may fire back.

[french]"Americans and their automatic weapons,"[/french] he mutters angrily.
 

Ben

"Whoa."

Before he kneels all the way down, Ben sees Martha's wild actions, and the ensuing bullets. He quickly hops back fully to his feet then charges the nearest Guardsmen with a flying kick.

Rolled 4 + 2 charge + 6 Unarmed = AC 12. Damage = rolled 1 + 4 = 5 points
 

OOC- Yep, using the readied action.

"Okay, now they're killing innocents, for a national security force that is not a good sign. Maybe they could use some rest."
 

Father Flannigan will put on the latex gloves from his medical kit and examine the body.

Arcane Lore: Roll 16, +10=26

Perhaps the Brotherhood was right to send me here. I wonder what minion of hell is responsible for this?

Angel pulls out her weapon and takes it off safety. She looks at the long-haired kid and nods. Hmmm... Ok, maybe not just another waistoid.

"Stay low, and check your six. There may be more. Let's go."

Angel does just that, moving quickly but staying out of sight until the last possible moment (Roll: 12 + 6 = 18 for Move Silently).

OOC: Angel activates her Burst ability, moving just a bit faster this round. When she sees that she's in a defensible position (at least 1/2 cover), Angel will open fire. If you need rolls, let me know.

Well, maybe there's something to this town after all.....What are they protecting?

Kevin triggers off two shots at the nearest guardsmen, then ducks back behind his cover.

Hmmmm...maybe they're as dumb as they look...

He cautiously moves around to the left side of the dumpster, hoping that they don't notice his sudden change in position.

OOC:
Attack 1 (lower-left NG): 20 (spoot!) + 4 - 2(range) = 22
Attack 1 (crit threat): 8 + 4 - 2(range) = 10
Damage (crit/not crit): 14/10

Attack 2 (Heroic Surge vs lower-left if up, otherwise vs next on left column): 11 + 4 - 2(range) = 13
Damage: 4

Moving to A9, hoping sneak up and flank their position (figuratively).

Hide (for moving to new cover position): 1 (NOOOO!) + 1 = 2
Move Silently (Pointless...:)): 9 + 1 = 10

Changing Dodge to nearest left-column NG.

Note to GM: New map available?
