[Day 5 - LA] Hunting the Sand Demon [Combat Event]

[Dove Gray]

The smoke was a good diversion, and Dove slipped through it, thankful for the cover over her face, eluding detection for the moment.

Pushing a concealed button on her bag, as she moved, she loosened the hidden climbing rope with its grappling hook. Not as fancy as an ascension gun, but it could get the trick done.

[Dapper Dog]

A group on the third floor aim blaster rifles down from a window and prepare to fire at Daunt. The blasts are surprisingly accurate!

OOC: Gangster #3 is now visible and at Medium range to Daunt and Dove and Long to everyone else. Hit for 12 wounds and they have 2 Threat to use.

[Daunt]

Daunt hissed. That burned a bit too much.

[Tanking... 7/16]

[Venator Praedae]

Venator neatly finished off the last gangster with a beautifully aimed shot.

OOC: Group #1 is gone.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Next two PCs may go top of Round 2.

[Dove Gray]

The smoke was still lingering enough for her to use the grappling hook uninterrupted. So far, her body's ability to stretch beyond normal physical capabilities wasn't wearing her down. Yet.

"Daunt. Rope here to climb up."

And with that, she moved up herself with an experienced swiftness. This wasn't her first time at the assassin-rodeo.

Would like to spend Destiny on the first attack roll against Dove.

[Daunt]

Using the smoke cover, Daunt darted up for a quick run, beckoned by Dove with a new opportunity to ascend quickly. He somehow managed to prick himself with the miraculous bacta cocktail in the fresh blaster burn, making it coagulate and regenerate.

[2 Manoeuvres, Move & Stim, 12/16 Wounds]

He swung on the rope Dove had left for him, trying to do some inverse abseiling and penduluming to get into the building by the nearest highest open window without a gun barrel.

MA5. I'm gonna swing on the chandelieeeer!: 1eP+4eA 2 successes, 4 advantage

[Dapper Dog]

Dove pulled herself into the third floor and saw a trio of gungan gangsters walking away from her, they had not noticed her. Meanwhile Daunt swung into an apartment where a family of twi’leks shrieked as he crashed through a window into their place.

OOC: He is in the room.

Difficulty: 2eD 0 successes, 1 threat

[Daunt]

[3 Advantages to recover Strain, 10/13]
[Melee Defence 1]

[Dapper Dog]

Gangsters barge into the room firing their pistols and several hit the ground around Daunt causing the floor to give and he fell to the one below into an empty room but at least he was still standing!

Dove sees a group of gangsters head past her and towards the stairs they don’t notice her.

OOC: Missed but using 2 advantage to drop him to the next floor below! PC Turn. Other squad moved to the 2nd floor, Gangster #5,

Gangster #4 Ranged Light vs. Daunt: 2eP+1eA+2eD 0 successes, 2 advantage

[Jabber]

Use your surroundings. Don't let yourself get pinned into position.

With the smoke, Jabber can't see the people he's supposed to be shooting at. Of course, with the smoke, there's a good chance that with his diminutive size and the general chaos that he might actually manage to hide in the middle of combat.

Jabber moves into the smoke, unsure as to how long the cloud will last and does his best to find a hidey-hole.

---
Maneuver-Move up one range band
Action: Stealth
Sand Devil-Average Stealth Check with Boost: 4eA+1eB+2eD 6 successes, 1 threat
(Strain for threat?)

[Dapper Dog]

Another group of Gungan gangsters comes around the corner and sees Dove! They slip around the corner for Cover! Meanwhile in the street the gungans move forward firing their blaster pistols and catch Venator with a hail of bolts! Venator fires back as he rushes away taking out one of the gungans in the street!

OOC: maneuver for Cover and action for Perception and they succeed but with 4 Threat. Venator is struck for 7 sounds! Hidden Actions are Hidden. Venator hits group #2 for 13 wounds , taking 1 down and injuring a second in Group #2 for 2 wounds. Top of Round 3! Using Advantage to move to Medium from Group #2.

The Gungan is shocked by her beauty and knows this the woman the fortune teller told him would be his true love. So shocked he fainted and hit his head instantly shocking him back to his senses...

OOC: PC turns.

[Daunt]

Let's play cat and mouse. Daunt hopped on a fallen cupboard and flung another grenade at the shooting group via the hole in the ceiling. Then, he drew out and readied zhaboka. Hunting time.

MA5. Smoke Again!: 3eA+1eD 1 success, 1 advantage


[Move to Short, fling grenade, Strain to Ready Zhaboka, Advantage to regain Strain]

[Wounds 12/16, Strain 9/13, Melee Defence 2]

[Dove Gray]

Dove saw the approaching group, and almost laughed at the one who nearly tripped over himself. Her reflexes kicked in as she drew her blaster, took aim, and let a couple of bolts fly.

Gonna a need an ice-bath after this, she thought, hissing between gritted teeth as she cast a glance around to take in her surroundings properly.

[Dapper Dog]

Two are taken out quite quickly while the double agent notices an exposed fuel line due to poor upkeep and probably poor construction.

[Dapper Dog]

The gangster facing Dove fires back and misses but his blast does hit the fuel line lighting a fire that is roaring towards the double agent while outside the gangsters move towards Venator and fire at him! Striking the Mandalorian.

OOC: Missed but he hits the gas line starting a fire that is roaring towards Dove! Dice Pool is correct label is wrong LOL. Ventator takes 8 more wounds, next PC is go.

gangster # vs Venator at Short Ranged Light: 1eP+2eA+1eD 2 successes

[Jabber]

Jabber sees one of the groups of gangsters, not noticing how close he was. It was a chance that likely wouldn't come again.

Jabber slows his breath and aims, letting out a series of slow, deliberate shots.

Attacking minion group 2, ranged light/short, aim for boost, setback for cover: 1eP+3eA+1eB+1eD+1eS 6 successes


------
12 wounds to the minion group before soak

[Dapper Dog]

The jawa guns down the gangsters! They will trouble no one ever again.

OOC: Gangster #2 is gone.

[Dapper Dog]

A brutish gungan woman burst out of the door at the end of the hall to Dove’s right deeper into the building and shouted “Meesa see a Fire! Yousa put it out!”

She can’t see Dove in the flames! Inside the room there is activity but Dove can’t see it. Daunt can hear the gangsters rushing down the hall and then down the stair and appear at the end of the hall taking cover at the stairwell.

OOC: Gungan Brute moved but could not see Dove, two hidden actions and then Gangsters #4 moved to short of Daunt. PC turn.

[Daunt]

To the dance of violence Daunt didn't have to be invited twice. He came upon the gangsters like a maelstrom of whirling death, his zhaboka swinging or thrusting, depending on the quarters awarded. He wouldn't stop until all in its reach would be dead.

[Manoeuvre for Move, Melee Attack]

MA5. Zhaboka! Flip.: 3eP+2eA+2eD 2 successes, 3 advantage


[8 Damage w/ Pierce 2, 2 Advantage to Activate Critical w/ Vicious 3, 1 Advantage to get a better tactical understanding of the situation.]

[Dapper Dog]

Daunt mows through this group with ease! He can smell a fire coming from the upper floors though!

OOC: Top of the round now.

[Dove Gray]

"Kriff," she said underneath the fabric covering her lower face. Already it was getting hot here. She took a quick aim and fired another bolt at the last guy that had tried to shoot her, but the fire was very distracting.

Dove knew she had to get away from the fire for now, even if it meant getting closer to the asshole shooting at her. Her eyes darted around for something to put out the fire - not only did she want to avoid becoming a crispy dove, but she had no interest in too much collateral here.


--------------
