Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

Cyrill fires two more shots at "his" bug!

"God damn it, it's this constantly shifting desert wind, I tell you, Mel. Now die you mutated son of a roach!!!"

Bishop maintains his speed as he heads around the ridge and checks the scanner again for any sign of activity.

 

[Shayuri]

"Take it easy, Cyrill," Mel advises. "Wait for the shot, and keep your cool."

(Using Coordinate ability. DC 10 Cha check (1d20+2) which gives Cyrill +1 to hit for 2 turns if successful. This is a full round action for Mel.)

 

[Cromm10k]

"Yes, Ma'am!!!"

 

[Venom]

Carl holds on as best he can so as not to get thrown out of his seat by Bishop’s insane driving.

Shouting down to Bishop he says “I don’t know if I will be able to see the bugs so you better keep your eyes on the scanner and let me know if you see anything”.
Carl will take a shot at anything that looks like a bug or shimmers etc….

(Perhaps Bishop can ram one of the bugs with the buggy if he gets the chance)

As the mantis bugs start with earnest towards the squad those that can see watch with intrigue as the bugs begin to fade into the normal spectrum. Obviously they need to actively concentrate to maintain the camouflage. The squad can clearly see that three mantis bugs are racing towards the ridge. The bugs are currently 280’ from the ridge.

Carina hurtles her Marauder up the ridge taking a full round to get into position.
Shin spins buggy #2 into action and heads for the southern side of the ridge.
Raul can not get a good target yet and so remains ready.
Mel tries to spur her comrades on, (Modified Charisma check of 12 + 2 = 14 vs DC 10, success, giving Cyrill a +1 bonus for the next two rounds), and motivates Cyrill.
Carl can see the mantis bugs clearly 280’ in front of the buggy. Pressing on the trigger to the twin fifty gives Carl a pleasing burst of fire, (Modified ranged attack rolls of 6 + 11 (AB) – 2 (Range of 280’) – 1 (Travelling at street speed) = 14, a miss and 12 + 6 (AB) – 2 (Range) -1 (Speed) = 15, a miss), but due to the rugged off road terrain the bullets kick up dust the right of the bugs.
Cyrill takes aim at mantis bug #1 and fires, (Modified ranged attack roll of 19 + 10 (AB) + 1 (Circumstance Bonus) = 30, a hit, confirmed critical roll of 18 + 10 + 1 = 29, confirmed, doing 17hp damage! Modified ranged attack roll of 13 + 5 (AB) + 1 (Bonus) = 19, a hit doing 4hp damage.), and even at this extreme range he hits the swift bug twice in the head! Cyrill is really dishing out damage!
Sarge quickly scans the display checking for further contacts but so far only the three charging bugs as visible.
Jacob changes aim to the only uninjured bug in view, mantis bug #2, and opens up with the marauder artillery. (Modified ranged attack roll of 9 + 11 (AB) – 4 (Twin Morita’s Range of 280’) + 2 (Focused Fire) =18, a miss and modified ranged attack roll of 13 + 6 (AB) – 6 (Light Rotary Cannon Range of 280’) + 2 (Focused Fire) = 15, a miss). However Jacob was unlucky to miss judge the range and kicked up clouds of dust as he sprayed the area in front of the bugs with bullets.
Bishop continues at street speed making way around the northern side of the ridge.

Squad actions please.

Private Czrill Kowaltyki

Cyrill is really dishing out damage!

LOL!!!

"Good riddance!!!"

Via comm:"One down, three more to go!"

Cyrill fires two shots at the closest bug.

Realising that the bumpy terrain and high speed is not helping Carl with the twin 50's at all, Bishop makes a few quick calculations . He slows the vehicle slightly (change to alley speed) and then shouts "Carl, hold on and wait till we stop before you fire again!" jamming hard on the brakes (attempt hard brake stunt to bring the vehicle to a standstill) after moving another 10ft. east.

"If those overgrown roaches maintain their speed they should be in range soon..."

OOC: Carl - delay your attack until the vehicle stops.

 

[Venom]

Carl will delay his turn till after Bishop has stoped and then take another shot at the bugs.
