Ankh-Morpork Guard
First Post
Combat Info[sblock]Okay. After a wonderful round of Spot/Listen and Hide/Move Silently checks, only Kel remains unnoticed. Redone the map with rough positions based on what you guys have said, also have a range marker to help out since its rough(if you'd prefer an exact grid map in the future, I can make rough ASCII stuff instead of sketches).
Karr 7. Varren 9. Jate 11. Cydarius 25. Kel 18. Issachar 20. Akan 23. Stormtroopers 8,
So order for the moment is Cydarius , Akan, Issachar, Kel, Jate, Varren, the Stormies, and then Karr.
Without any strict actions on if the character is firing or not(rough targets, that is), I'll assume the character is still moving to cover or something similar. Mainly to keep things moving so I don't have to ask you guys to change actions every post.
So...Rath fires on S5. Attack is a 12, and misses. Akan is up nextand fires his blaster at S5, too. His attack is a 4 and he misses, also.
Don't have clear actions for anyone else after so would prefer to get something from you guys now that you're spotted(well, most of you), rather than assume you just stand there.[/sblock]
As the group begins to move towards the stormtroopers, it is immediately apparent that sneaking is easier said than done on the rocky ground. Every step, no matter the care taken, makes far more noise than is comfortable, even with the blaster fire not far off. The large rocks provide a good amount of cover from view, but passing between them leaves open areas that make hiding difficult.
And it isn't long before the Stormtrooper positioned the farthest back, just at the rear of the speeder, turns his head. Though no reaction can be seen through the helmet, his synthized voice is enough, "They've got backup!"
As he turns his blaster rifle to bear on the approaching group, all of the troopers with rocks between them and the entrance to the base spin around to see, obviously realizing their cover does them no good against the attack from behind.
Rath is able to get to one of the larger boulders near the make-shift path and lean out to get a relatively good sight on the trooper that had first spotted them. Its a tough shot, but the other large boulders part exactly in a way to give him a clear view. But the bolt from his rifle strikes one of the two rocks near the edge, close enoug to give the trooper a good scare and sending pieces of the corner of the rock into the air.
Seeing this, Akan stood up as tall as he could manage, which wasn't too much as he was average sized for a human, and extended his arm to try to take aim with his heavy blaster pistol at the same Stomtrooper. His squeezes off a shot of his own, but it strikes the same rock that Rath's did rather than the trooper.
