Mission 2, Encounter 7, Round 32.
The hanger doors continue to groan and creak while sliding closed. (1 round until fully closed).
Cultist chosen one #2 lies unconscious on the floor.
Cultist chosen one #3 tries to knock the stowaways off by yanking on the steering of the transport. It lurches upwards to 20’ above the ground and drifts 5’ south. Hehranna is unceremoniously dumped into the back doors breaking her concentration and sounds of frustration and disgust can be heard as she scolds the pilot. Sarge tries to hang on (STR check of 10 + 4 (Ability Mod) = 14 vs DC 15 (Tough), fail) but looses his hand hold and falls to the ground below. Sarge activates the jump jets with moments to spare and slows his descent to a manageable speed and bumps into the ground below the transport with out much fuss.
Cyrill who now has a clear line of sight on the hopper takes a shot, (Modified ranged attack roll of 14 + 6 (AB) + 1 (PB) – 0 (Precise Shot) = 21, a hit doing 3hp damage), hitting the hopper in the hard carapace in its shoulder.
Carl leans back as he flings the grenade high into the air trying to land it in the back of the transport, (Modified ranged attack roll of 11 + 6 (AB) – 4 (Range) = 13 vs Defense 10, a hit doing a possible 17hp damage! The transport takes 5hp damage, Cultist chosen one #3’s REF save of 27 vs DC 18, success and takes 8hp damage while Hehranna’s REF save of 9 vs DC 18, fail and takes 17hp damage!), the grenade sails over the side of the transport and explodes!
Cultist chosen one #4 is dying.
Sarge yells, “That bug @#$@D just threw me off!”, he then takes aim at the hopper and takes a shot, (Modified ranged attack roll of 14 + 11 (AB) + 1 (PB) – 0 (Precise Shot) = 26, a hit doing 0hp damage), hitting the hopper in the midriff where the carapace is at its thickest.
Jacob tries to get a clear target but finds none.
As the transport lurched upwards Mel let go and moved 5’ away from the hopper. As she was moving she brought up her Morita and fired a single shot, (Modified ranged attack roll of 18 + 7 (AB) + 1 (PB) = 26, a hit doing 9hp damage!), catching the bug right in the face ripping a part of its cheek right off!
The hopper now presented with numerous targets turns and decides to attack Cyrill, it scampers along the ground 5’ and lashes out with its claws, (Modified melee attack roll of 17, a miss), just narrowly missing Cyrill.
No one can see what Hehranna is up to.
Squad actions please.
