Kingdom Lost - Episode 1 "Pilot"

Initiative: James 21, Selene 7, Soldier 5; Selene used an Action Point to boost her Initiative by 3.

Dexter walks outside, to hear James shout loudly, and he spots a figure in black near Selene as she pops her head up towards James, obviously aware of him, but still does not see the soldier walking up behind her, or assassin, or whatever it could be.

Dexter is flat-footed, and unaware this round. Consider this a surprise round.
"Huh?"

James spots Selene.

Grrr...

"Selene, get down!" he yells at her, before yelling once more at the soldier, "Last chance!"

If the soldier doesn't stop and drop the weapon James will fire.
 

Make sure to describe in game terms what you are doing, in this happenstance I assume you are readying an action. So I shall move to Selene.

Selene turns to James, and looks surprised, but decides to duck anyway, not quite sure what the gun-toting detective has in mind. The Soldier turns his attention to James, and raises his pistol but James ready for the action fires first! James lifts his pistol and fires at the soldier but his bullet goes wide!

Selene ducks, for her surprise round action. She now has Full Cover from both James and the Soldier. James rolls an 11 to strike and misses the soldier! Listen Checks for the sound of the gunfight; Dan rolled a 12 and Sakura rolled a 7. Neither can hear the fighting as of this point.

The Soldier does not flinch and takes aim and fires back at James, hitting him square in the chest right into the Undercover Vest! The blow strikes his body, as the soldier lines up a second shot.

The soldier rolled a 20 to strike. He does 5 damage to James, dropping him to 9! Round 1 Initiative: Dexter 20, Selene 7, James 5, Soldier 5; it is now Dexter’s turn.
 

Dexter runs toward Selene and the black-clad man. As he does, he draws out his cell phone and speed-dials Sakura, holding the phone in his left hand.

[OOC: Dex will move as far as possible toward the assailant. I hope doing the phone thing counts as either a move or a standard action, leaving me with another move action.

My preferences on where to end up (in order, most favored first) are:

1) Behind the assailant with him not noticing me :) (unlikely I admit)
2) With James behind cover
3) With Selene behind cover
4) By myself behind cover
5) still running in the open

Regardless, I won't sacrifice distance for cover.]
 

Dexter is able to dash towards James, he is now 25 feet right in front of the soldier!

Dexter rushes across the parking lot and ends up right next to James. He is also able to speed dial Sakura in one fluid, but not so graceful motion. But at least he was able to pull it off without killing himself!

Selene turns her head towards the soldier that just shot James, she glares her body takes a faint glow. She run towards the soldier in a charge sliding over the hood of a vehicle and punches him in the helmet! In a crunching blow that sends the soldier stumbling back from the thunderous strike!

Selene manifests Burst and then charges the Soldier. She rolls a 27, a critical and then an 11, with an additional 4 for a total of 15. She used an Action Point. She does a total of 12 damage and the Soldier made his Massive Damage Threshold with a 16 and is able to stay standing! But now Selene is engaged in melee combat!

Selene drops into a fighting stance, her palms open, and ready to strike, she obviously has some hidden talents…

Dan listens appreciatively to the guitar player on stage.

"This guy's pretty good."

He takes another swig of his beer. Quiet night. Job's done. Wonders when Selene's coming out from backstage.
 

Dexter stands staring slack-jawed at Selene. For a moment he ignores his bleeding friend and even his own safety to whisper "Holy...Did you...? Did you see?" He looks down at James "Did you? Oh! Jeez look at you. Are you OK?"

[OOC: I think it's reasonable for Dex to lose an action outright here. That was funky! :) ]
 

James is knocked back a step a the bullet hits his vest. A quick application of his hand to his chest indicates there's no severe bleeding, but the feeling was similiar to being hit in the chest with sledgehammer.

Not dead yet, breath dammit.

He's having enough trouble getting his breath back as Selene causes severe damage to the soldier's helmet, and likely the head inside.

She's in it too now, not safe to fire into hand-to-hand.

James absent-mindedly glances down at the hole in his t-shirt, then at Dexter.

"Yeah," he says breathlessly, likely intended to answer both questions.

He tosses his Beretta to Dexter before moving towards the melee, drawing a knife from behind his back as he goes. James tries to maneuver himself into a flanking position with Selene, and makes a slash at the soldier if possible.

[ooc: taking a move action to flank and draw a weapon at the same time, making an attack if possible after that.]

Sakura answers her cell-phone curiously seeing that its Dexter who is calling, and to the best of her knowledge he is in the building too, so he should have just been able to come find her if everything was ok. When she put the phone to her ear, she did her best to listen to what was going on, on his end of the phone since he wasn't saying anything. She listens getting more worried by the moment and by Dex's voice asking if somebody was okay, but she couldn't tell where he was, or who he was talking to.

Sakura looked around hurriedly for Danny, joining him by the clubs exit where he was watching David in case the olderman left. "There's something up with Dex, he just called my cell-phone and he sounds freaked, he's asking soeone if they are all right, but I have no clue where he is." she tells Danny, before putting the phone back up to her ear.

"Dex, whats wrong, who is hurt, come on tell me whates going on or I am going."
 

Dan tries to remember if he'd seen Dexter around at all. He looks out the front door of the club to see if there's something going on out there.
