[CoC] Nocturnum -- Part I - Chapter 1 Snowflake Valey [Completed]

[Ascending Crane]

Doc closes the hotel's first aid kit and places it back on the table. He sits down wearily, gazing out of the window with an odd expression on his face.

"I wasn't saying much important, Jason. Just an old geezer talking to himself, who feels particularly old today." Doc grabs his nearby bible and highlighter and begins to leaf through it. Almost all of the pages have yellow marks or notes of some kind.

"This thing that our friends are facing. Is there a rational reason for it?" Doc turns to Jason. "Is it man made? A thing created in a lab, like what you see in the movies? A birth defect perhaps, due to radiation some wacko scientist released?" Doc chuckled. "I don't think so. This is something different. We stumbled upon an old pile of crap here that folks have been sweeping under the rug for generations. We're here for a reason, Jason - God hasn't turned away from us. There's a purpose. There has to be."

Doc looks down and closes his bible, frowning slightly. "Ignore the ramblings of an old man. I'm tired. Where is that damn room service?"

 

[The Forsaken One]

The three in the blue compressed gloom halt and stumble ontop of each other and whisper about what to do. Ross pumps his shotgun. You discuss your actions and ready your guns and with Ray in the lead you prepare to move in and make your escape. James flings the unlighted Molotov Cocktail into the dark and when the sound of breaking glass echos through the gloom you three move in. Quickly you reappear in the twilight of the bottom of the elevator shaft.

There! I spotted one! A voice calls out and Ray still adjusting to the normal light get's caught by surprise as a huge muscular guy leaps ontop of him and takes him to the ground. The second guy following closely behind him while he reaches for the inside of his pocket.

The first guy, expecting you to be unarmed, leaps onto Ray who, although he prepared himself, was caught by surprise by the quick reaction of the thug who is now on top of him and working him to the ground in a grapple. The second guy draws his Glock pistol and keeps Patrick under gun point.

[Made spot check so the molotov thingy failed, they saw where it came from and readied themselves... In surprise round Ray is grappled by the first guy and the second guy readies an action. Then Initiative:

Thug 1
James
Thug 2
Ray
Ross

Thug 1 uses his action to tie Ray up with a plastic zip cuff. Ray can't use his hands at the moment. I'm still allowing you to attack from prone in an attempt to do unarmed damage. Kicking falls under the unarmed department. The disc is besides you in the dirt of the mine shaft. / OOC]

 

[Festy_Dog]

James starts by firing his revolver at the man armed with a glock.

"I got dibs on the shead's glock!" he yells to the others.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Ray screams in horror thinking it is the "wolfman" and kicks at him with all his might. Madre' Get the fvck off me!

 

[Shapermc]

ROss the hardend man that he is rushes in and tries to club the bastard that cuffed the space cadet in the back of the head with his rifle butt. [ooc then as a free action using intimidate /ooc] "Stand back and we wont kill you! As you can tell your under manned for this."

 

[The Forsaken One]

The second James comes into view the guy with the handgun fires a round at him. James, still half in the shade feels the air rush besides him as the bullet screams right beside his ear. Quickly he returns a shot. The bullet seers through the shadow and seems to miss the guy but a short muffled sound of pain can be heard down in the deep. As James readies himself for another shot he fels another bullet disappear right next to him into the dark. James now sees the left side of the guys face cleary and covered in blood. There where there should have been an ear, there now is nothing but a ragged piece of flesh and skin dangling to the guys head.

[Missed James in the readied action and in the guys turn. James hit the guy for 2 damage.]

The other guy looks up from his succesfull attempt to tie Ray up with plastic zip-cuffs, surprised by the shots while ignoring the futile kick attempts from his prisoner, only to see a gun come swinging his way. Ross dives into the twilight, swinging his shortgun as he yelps into view. The sound of bones crunching can be heard as the wood meets with the flesh and bone in the guys face, who falls back to the ground, ontop of the helpess Ray, dead.

[Crit, confirmed with another 20, confirmed again. Dead. ]

Roy! James! What the hell is going on down there?!

[Next round please!]

[Ray 24 hp with 5 subdual dmg
Ross 27 hp with 9 subdual dmg
James 26 hp with 9 subdual dmg]

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Ray waits for one of the guys to get him free (though he will try an escape artist roll!) James, Ross, the disk is more important than me. some one pick it up. then come and get me out of this.

 

[The Forsaken One]

[Thug 1 is out of the initiative order blame Ross! ]

 

[The Forsaken One]

Waiting for actions from Festy and Shaper for the round.

 

[Shapermc]

"Well Sh*t, nevermind!" Ross says leaning over to pick up the disc.

(if that is too much for one round then ignore the next part.)

Turning towards the other bastard Ross fires at him (if he can see him) while shouting "Hold on Ray!"
