The Shaman
First Post
Pyotr glances at a wide-eyed Gonzalez. The Spaniard hesitates, then convulsively squeezes the trigger.
Ignoring the wound to his leg, Normand pulls the trigger and watches one of the fells recoil as the bullet catches him on the shoulder, stopping him in his tracks, apparently dazed.
Timekeeping: start 8th round
Among the rocks to the north, Duval glances at Vidal as he approaches. “I told you to fall back, Radio,” he says, ignoring Vidal’s question for the moment. The MAT-49 fires, the ancien’s accuracy leaving a bleeding fell unmoving on the ground. As Vidal settles in among the rocks, he sees a bloodstain along the right side of the sergent-chef’s jump smock.
“The fells on the left are trying to flank us,” he continues. “Be ready to move, and do it this time.”
Marcel falls in with Lavareaux and the others. The caporal-chef fires at the fellaghas and looks at Marcel. “You’re one lucky bastard, you know that?” he says with feeling as they retreat up the gully, bullets whizzing by, though fewer now as the legionnaires’ firepower has taken a toll. The insurgents in the gully seem to be holding their position among the bushes, apparently content to harass the retreating legionnaires for the moment.
Behind the limestone outcrop to the south, Sgt. Neumann drops prone and says, “Keep firing. Protect the flank.” The Mauser cracks again, and Neumann works the bolt without ever taking his eye off his target, a practiced motion for the former panzer grenadier. Almost as he speaks, the fellaghas on the right advance, shooting as they come. Bullets whine off the rocks or sends fragments flying around Pyotr and Normand.
The updated map shows positions through the fells’ initiative count in round 8.
As the fells are split into two distinct squads at this point, let me know which squad you’re firing on from here on out. There are a half-dozen or so hiding prone among the bushes in C3, somewhat less than a dozen advancing in D3 – if you want an exact count, make a Spot check which costs you a move action for your turn. The squad in D3 is 200’ from Pyotr and Normand’s position – third range interval, -6 to hit. Both squads are a little over 100’ from Vidal and Marcel – second range interval, -2 to hit.
