[Metal Joe d20 Modern] No Rest for the Nameless [PG-17]

[Ashrem Bayle]

Wraith moved over and took up a prone position behind one of the rocks so that it would offer a bit of both cover and camaflauge. He dropped the bipod on his rifle and took aim.

Through his comm unit he radioed, "Shoot to kill the one on the right. The man on the left is all yours commander. Those without suppressed weapons do not fire. No need to alert them by the sounds of gunshots." After that, he added. "I have a suppressed sidearm if anyone needs it."

While waiting he took a few moments to gather some foliage to better cover his position. Satisfied that he was covered the best he could be, he took aim through the scope and waited for the signal.

"Left and right. A man will die today because he made the unconscious decision to walk on the right side. Funny that...", he thought grimly. He switched his rifle to single fire mode and clicked on his laser.

[OOC: Wraith will fire to kill the man on the right. +10 Att if he is within 30', 2d10+2 damage]

I take cover and keep loking for more targets.

OOC: to get a grid (I get the idea that you are using photoshop), turn the grid on, label it, and take a screengrab, which you will then crop and save as a jpeg.

Use this process every time you change the map.

Alright, here we go:

They are now at 250 feet.

The plan is in effect and will start as soon as the shooting starts (if it does).

Lying prone / crouching and taking cover behind a rock or tree gives you 3/4 Cover. Standing and doing the same provides 1/2 cover, but then you don't have to use an action to stand up later. Your choice.

3/4 concealment applies everywhere until you're within 30 feet. This is because of the dense foliage.

You can't take 20 on hide since there are consequences if you fail, but I'll let you take 10 since you've got time to set it up. I'll also let the plan bonus apply to hide in this instance.

Shadow Wolf - you don't see them yet, though you do have a good view of the unknowns now. I'll give you a roll every ten rounds to notice something, but unless that succeeds (or shooting starts) you don't know anything is going on.

Zeus et al - how long do you want to wait? Also is anyone else besides Wraith taking cover?

edit - I should also note that while cover helps against ranged attacks at a distance, the cover available here doesn't protect from above or the rear. This could be important for area attacks (such as grenades).

Silent Snake follows Wraith's lead and takes cover.

(Hiding behind tree/rock, etc should provide cover shouldn't it? And if this goes down right we won't have to worry bout area of effect. Of course then again when do things ever go as planned?)

Yes, it provides cover as I outlined above. And the area of effect thing I am providing for reference. It may or may not come into this fight, but it might come up sooner or later. Hiding behind a tree doesn't help if a grenade lands behind you.

 

[perivas]

Evac begrudgingly follows the plan laid out by the others. He'll hide from view and take the rear guard position to cover the group's flank in case this is a trap within a trap.

 

[KitanaVorr]

Kai frowned slightly as she watched those that she can see, moving closer. She continues to make her way as silent and hidden as she can possibly get away with, coming in behind the enemy troops as she heads toward the rendevous.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

"Wait till they get close." Wraith whispered. "They want know what hit them."

OOC: Wraith is hoping Zeus will wait till they get within 30' before he gives the signal.

 

[Jemal]

Zues awaits for the mice to step into his trap. He'll give the signal either when they're less than 10M away from the majority of his team, or as soon as they spot someone from his team.


OOC: I hope lone wolf don't think we're shooting at her.
