Brownout Part I: Into the night

[Festy_Dog]

Jacque gets up from the middle back seat, turning around and laying the M16 across the headrest for support. He takes aim at the nearest vehicle pursuing them.

"Let us find out how much it takes to stop us, yes?" he says.

Jaque will spend a round aiming with the scope, then will fire during the following round. If the Humvee is moving around too much to aim properly he'll just take single shots while they try to get away.

"Those helicopters will not be willing to follow us into the brownout, but we may have another fight on our hands with the men in the other Humvee's," he states.

 

[Starman]

"Better just the men in the Hummers than all of them," Jeremy says while narrowly avoiding a dip in the terrain. "That was close."

 

[ErichDragon]

Father Flannigan looks back with a startled expression on his face. "Oh my, this is a bit more excitement than I'm used to. What we need here is a wee bit of divine intervention, don't you think?"

Flannigan goes to his knees, or as close as he can get in the vehicle and prays, "Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And you, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls. Amen. "


Casts Bless

Ben

"Whoooohooooo!" Not trusting his aim, Ben will hunker down to present a small a target as possible, his primary intent to help look for obstacles for the driver.

OOC: Aid another, Drive Skill +2

Adrian will take as much cover as possible and cast his Shield spell on himself.

"Okay guys I'm about to babble a bit, don't let it concern you to much its just an old family tradition when faced with death. "

Everyone:

The vehicles slowly gain on the humvee, and after ten seconds the blackhawks both fire short bursts, which narrowly miss the sides of the car. One final call from the loudspeaker is heard. "This is your final warning. Pull over now!"

The vehicles keep gaining, as the blank wall on the humvee's radar gets closer and closer until...

The blackhawks both split in different directions, circling back to wait at a spot some 100 yards behind the humvee's current position.

Then the car dies, as do the onboard computer and the headlights. In fact, the only sounds you hear are the humvee's wheels crunching twigs and grass a it rolls to a stop, and the loud cursing of the soldiers in the three vehicles 50 yards behind you who have stopped.

Tracer bullets begin to light up the night, as the humvee takes multiple direct hits from assault rifles. It doesn't look like your pursuers want to talk anymore, but visibility is minimal as headlights of the vehicles behind you don't offer much in the way of illumination this far away.


Jeremy and Father Flannigan:

There is a grove of trees just up ahead and to your left. It looks like there are a few abandoned buildings just beyond as well.

 

[UnDfind]

OOC: Welcome to the Brownout.

 

[ErichDragon]

"Quickly. There is cover this that way." Father Flannigan shouts while pointing to the grove of trees. "It doesn't look like they are going to follow us."

With that Father Flannigan hunches down and runs full out for the trees, making sure to grab his pack and his sacristy kit.

Ben

Ben hunkers down and tries to run bent over, in the direction indicated by Father Flannigan.

 

[Kalanyr]

Adrian runs with the others towards the cover. Keeping bent over and facing the shield spell back towards the troops.
