The characters were briefed. The characters then requistioned gear and planned for the mission.March 11, 1943 - Ft. Harrison, MT - 1813 hoursThe group sits on the airfield waiting to board the plane. The sun starts to set over the mountains to the west of the base. It is difficult to move around. The parachute chafes in all the wrong places. As you sit you go over your jump training and what you are supposed to do.The ground crew and pilots go over the C-47 Transport. It isn't long before the crew is ready. Major Liverpool walks out of one of the hangers. "Good Luck gentlemen. You are about finished, just remember everyone comes home alive." He then stands next to each man and helps him to his feet and into the plane. Finally settling into your seats, you can feel the engine start. The smell of exhaust and avation fuel settle into the fuselage. The Crew Chief shuts the door. You can hear yourself think now. Soon the planes enigines are at full speed and the plane starts to move down the runway. Within minutes you are airborne. Its too late now, you are on your way.March 11, 1943 - 1947 hours - Location UnknownFor the last hour and half you have sat in the plane bouncing up and down as the plane makes its way towards your destination. A red light next to the door lights up. The Crew Chief stands and opens the door. A cold blast of air fills the compartment. It going to be a cold night. The Crew Chief stands near the door and yells over the engines "Stand up! Hook up! Check Equipment!"  At each command he gives the a hand and arm signal to make sure everyone understands. Each man checks the chute of the man in front of him and then yells. "Seven okay! Six okay! Five okay! Four okay! Three okay! Two okay! One okay!" "Move to the door!" As each man takes six steps forward you hook up to the cable running along the ceiling. A static line will deploy your parachute for you. SSG Munroe is the first in the doorway. The mountainoues terrain below zooms by, you can see snow on the hills and mountains.The green light flashes. "Go! Go! Go!" The Crew Chief yells. SSG Munroe jumps out of the plane into the black. For a minute there is a feeling of falling into nothingness with nothing to save you. The there is a jerking that twists your spine and pulls you of of the sky. Your parachute opens and the next thing you know you are drifting towards each, the feeling of falling gone replaced by floating.[sblock] Parachute (Tumble) Check - 2 rolls (1 for landing accuracy, 1 to prevent damage)SSG Munroe - 1d20+9 = 16,19SGT Hoffman - 1d20+10 = 28, 21SGT Harris - 1d20+8 = 23, 19SGT Harrison - 1d20+6-4 = 15, 8 - Tumble check for damage = 1d20+6 = 10 = 4 points damage -1 for DR = 3CPL Nuemiller - 1d20-4 = 7, 3 - Tumble check for damage- 1d20 = 18 = 2 Points damageTech/4 Jakobsen- 1d20+7 = 5, 19LT Kerensky - 1d20+6 = 21, 22 [/sblock]First to land is SSG Munroe he lands around the out edge of the LZ. A soft plump greets you as you enter into the snow in the clearing. Next SGT Hoffman lands on the LZ in the center. SGT Harris is next about 50 feet from SGT Hoffman. SGT Harrison lands at the other edge of the clearing. Although as he lands his foot lands in the snow and he twists his knee, as he rolls out. LT Kerensky lands about 50 feet on the other side of the SGT Harris.CPL Nuemiller and Tech/4 Jakobsen[sblock] CPL Nuemiller makes his way down. But you realize you are off course, way off course. You see the others off to your right. You are going to be way off course. You realize that you are drifting towards a large stand of trees. You twist and pull trying not to land in the trees but it is to late. You slam into the trees. Hitting branches and limbs. You are scraped up as you come to a stop 30 feet suspended of the ground.Tech/4 Jakobsen makes his way down behind CPL Nuemiller. You realize that you are drifitng off course. You are sucked in the same draft that caught Nuemiller. You realize you are about to come down in the trees but are able to steer clear and land about 100 feet from Nuemiller. You see he is suspended in the trees. [/sblock]SGT Harris[sblock] Just before you land you see two chutes way off course. They were drifting to the Southeast. You figure they must be at least a mile off course. [/sblock]As the main group lands they realize that two men are missing - CPL Nuemiller and Tech/4 Jakobsen.</blockquote>
