The Pluto Campagin: Hard Drop [Starship Troopers]

[Gomez]

Pokey runs towards the Dana and Nails' position and has he comes over a ridge he sees the two troopers firing at two warrior bugs who are charging them. They are both next to a long deep trench about 15 meters wide.

Nails gives a silent prayer as the two bugs charge. His faith and training take hold as he fires. (Fear save 15 + 3 = 18! Made it! ) But the charging bug just shrugs off the attack. (Missed due to armor)

Dana looks down at her rifle and then at the horrific bugs as they run at her. Their claws and huge maw waving in the air. Terror wells up in her gut and her mouth is dry as a desert. The question "What should she do?" races through her brain. (You rolled a 10 + 1 = 11 for a Fear save. Do you wish to roll an Action Die (1d6) to try and improve your roll?)

 

[Gomez]

The Sarge's voice comes over everyone's comm. "Pokey move and form up with Nails and Dana." The sound of gun fire can be heard in the background. "Polar, Dog, and Rock! Move to the objective and hold there. We are engaging a couple of bugs here and will move to the objective once they are down."

 

[Einan]

"Dana! Hold it together! Just aim and fire, just like boot!" Nails speaks slowly and calmly, trying to keep Dana on point. Seeing his first shot miss, he pulls back a few feet to keep distance between the bugs and himself and fires again.

(Single shot attack, AB + 4, Damage 2d8+3)

Pokey gets to within 40 meters (120 feet.) Getting into a prone postion Pokey steadys himself, takes a breath, exhales and fires a burst at the closest bug.

OOC: Morita TW-203-a Rifle (attack +4, damage 2d8+3, crit 20, Rng 125ft/25, Mag 30)

How many shots make a burst?

OOC: Morita TW-203-a Rifle (attack +4, damage 2d8+3, crit 20, Rng 125ft/25, Mag 30)

How many shots make a burst?

OOC: Burst fire usually uses up 5 rounds and gives a -4 to hit and 2 extra dice of damage. The dice type is the same as the weapon's damage roll. The TW-203-a Rifle has a special 3 round burst. You have to have the Burst Fire feat to do this. Otherwise you can Autofire using 10 rounds to cover a area and hit mulitple targets. Using Autofire on a single target just wastes bullets as you only get one attack.

PVT Marcus ‘Rock’ Eckensberger

"Polar, Dog, and Rock! Move to the objective and hold there. We are engaging a couple of bugs here and will move to the objective once they are down."

Rock is about to start jumping towards the gunfire when the Serge's voice comes over his comm. Cursing silently, Rock hesitates for a second and then "Yes sire serge" and he starts making his way to the site, scanning the harsh landscape assuming ‘monsters’ will jump them any moment now…

[Micar Sin]

OOC: whoops my fault sorry.


"Damn, an here I was hopin' ta' catch dinner! We're on the bounce Sarge!" Dog slaps rock on his armored shoulder plate and takes off at a trot, rifle in hand.

 

[Gomez]

Rock, Polar, and Dog move at a trot towards the landing zone. Soon they see a wrecked beacon station (it is a small shack about 4 meters by 4 meters in size), a power generator, and landing lights. No bugs are in sight. The area is flat and relatively clear of any large rocks.

Polar begins to scan the ground for bug holes, "To quite, to easy."
