Possum's d20 Modern: Fallout part 1

"I was not trained for this!" Screams Isaias as he tries to get hold on his gun, and point it nervously to the front, where he thing a huge unstoppable monster made of concrete will appear.

"Just follow her lead. Stay tight to the walls and any cover you can find. Try not to shoot any of us...and point the gun at whatever it is that is kililng folks. Try to shoot it before it kills you. Simple enough?" Chase explaims matter of factly. Explaining it to Isaias made it easier for him to process the dilema ahead. As Alicia took the lead he followed. What bothered him the most was that he couldn't stare at her bum since death could be around any corner ahead.
 

Alicia draws her gun as they get closer, "Pull it together back there! It's going to be kill or be killed, better it than us I say."

Still on point for this little gang, she slows down to move cautiously, gripping the gun with both hands to keep it steady and pointed down range, clicking the gun off safe. She will take cover in a doorway if available and stand ready in case something non-human comes from around that corner up ahead, listening for sounds other than gunfire to get an idea what is happening out of sight.
<<Actions: Ready Action on hostile creature coming around the corner.

Around the corner comes not a vicious creature, but a three-man squad of terrified vault dwellers led by Chief Thompson, the head of vault security. The obviously frightened chief looks directly at Alicia. "Get on your Pip-Boy to the Overseer," he cries out as the shadow of something huge appears from around the corner. "Tell him we gotta evacuate the Vault. It's slaughtering us!"

Five seconds later, the creature slowly lumbers out from around the corner. It looks lizard-like in appearance, and towers around ten feet tall. Small patches of white fur seem to come out from its scales at points some how. The head is large and two horns jut from the top, and a row of sharp teeth are in its mouth.

What really catches the attention are the large, muscular arms that end in long claws stained with freshly spilled blood. The creature looks at you all and gives a roar.

OOC: Will saves, please.
 


Alicia hesitates and considers, the chief has already given up and demoralized. She keeps her gun trained on the corner behind Chief Thompson as best she can.

<<OOC: Since she had a readied action can she pull the trigger before it roars? I assume the Will Save is for the roar not the hideous creature itself.
Will Save (1d20+2=14) >>

OOC: You're only dead against the deathclaw if you stick around for a while and fight. This is likely the closest thing you'll see to a railroad (except for a warning later on). It's designed to get you out of the vault.

Yes, WalkingDad, your character is with the others, specifically having traveled in the same lift with the other PCs.

I've given deathclaws Frightful Presence, so it is technically for the creature itself. You did, however, ready an action to shoot at it the second it rounded the corner, so I'll give you that shot, as you did it before seeing the whole creature.
 

OOC: Question: Could Isaias know about the creature? Is there another exit from the vault besides the main? If I remind clearly, the elevator went up... so we are kinda trapped down.
 

OOC: You would have no knowledge of the creature. If I remember correctly, the only place it existed in before the War was in labs, and it would be extremely unlikely for such highly classified documents would find their way into the vaults.

There is only one known exit to you besides the elevator: and that's the way the creature came in. Not to mention that you have to go through the beast itself to get there. Of course, you may luck out and reach the lift before it can get you. Maybe...
