[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2029699, member: 26473"] [i]Capitaine[/i] Villiers is terse. [color=sienna][i]“Switch to ground-to-air. Good luck. Trident 1 out.”[/i][/color] Vidal remembers that channel 5 is ground-to-air. Duval is quiet as Marcel treats Pyotr, his submachine gun in hand. Vidal’s wave catches the [i]sergent-chef[/i]’s eye, and he nods acknowledgement. After Marcel finishes, Duval glances at his wristwatch. [color=sienna]“Let’s go. Follow me. Do exactly what I do.”[/color] The jumpmaster leads off, moving methodically up the slope, offering a hand as needed, Marcel and Pyotr trailing behind. [size=1][color=silver]Marcel and Pyotr: If you want to go [i]mano-a-mano[/i] with the side of the [i]oued[/i] again, roll two Climb checks – each gets a +2 Aid Another bonus from Duval. If not, both take 10 on the checks and make it safely up the slope.[/color][/size] Once at the top of the wash, Duval listens as Vidal relays the [i]capitaine[/i]’s orders. [color=sienna]“Fortier, check on Gonzalez.”[/color] he says as he reaches into his rucksack. He pulls out a bright yellow and black air visibility panel and hands it to Normand. [color=sienna]“Attach this to the radio on Gaspard’s back.”[/color] The jumpmaster consults his map as Marcel and Normand comply. [size=1][color=silver]Marcel: Treat Injury check for Pvt. Gonzalez.[/color][/size] After all is done the [i]sergent-chef[/i] addresses the legionnaires. In the harsh light of the desert sun the scar that mars his face is a lurid red, a vivid reminder of all this veteran soldier has seen and done in his years in the Legion. [color=sienna]“Lavareaux, your group on point – Neumann, behind.”[/color] He points to a spot in the distance. [color=sienna]“That rise”[/color] – little more than a bump on the otherwise featureless plain to the eyes of the legionnaires, about 3km distant – [color=sienna]“is our objective. If the fells follow the [i]oued[/i] we should catch up with them there. Move out – double-time, [i]caporal[/i].”[/color] Lavareaux nods assent, [color=sienna]“Yes, [i]sergent-chef[/i].”[/color] The words seem oddly formal after the past weeks of camaraderie during the training at Blida. [color=sienna]“Dinter, Martinez, on point. Tactical column by twos. Move out.”[/color] [/QUOTE]
