(TEEN GIRL SQUAD. Plus Chomei.) (<.<) ( Chomei's the team mascot. ) [The ride goes fast! And as you go, you gradually hear an alarm growing louder and louder.] ... that bodes poorly. Oh, well that's great. Uh. I don't think that can possibly be good. * Chomei talks over the radio. ~Hey guys, we have an alarm going off down here.~ It's probably not. Great. That vampire woman's down here and being unsubtle. We don't know that for certain, Maria. * Chie involuntarily clenches her fist, though. If she is, we can use that to our advantage. [When you reach the bottom, you find yourself facing an automated turret. Roll init! XD] That is not a vampire. Distractions are handy, yeah. (... this seems familiar. Didn't I fuck people like this in ATC2?) No, it's not. That is not even remotely close to a vampire. (And I think you did.) ... oh my. ( Yez you did ^^ ) (Roll in #besm?) ( Yeah. ) Fucking *hate* guns! [Order: Chomei, Chie, Maria, Asanjya, Turret.] [Chomei's turn!] I'll take care of it. ( Unless Chomei beats me to it! ) You do that. I don't think a sword's gonna be much good against it. * Chomei summons Rownal, because his player forgot to have him do that. He ducks behind some cover if some's available. If not, he gets ready to move (Total defense). ~We've got a turret down here. Gonna try and get the elevator up ASAP.~ [Chie's turn!] ( And note that the turret is some distance away. It'll take a body roll +3 - speed to get there in one round.] ) (Is there any way to send the elevator up and *not* be really vulnerable in the meantime?) ( Hit the button :P ) * Chie attempts to duck out of the way, hitting the elevator button as she goes. ~Coming back up!~ (Total Defense) [Maria's turn] * Maria bounds up to the turret and tries to disable it! [Maria makes it over to the turret, but doesn't see the way to disable it yet.] [Asanjya!] * Asanjya is chanting, behind Chomei. (Chomei makes a good meat shield!) ( Asanjya totally needs a magic shield. ) (Yeah, except that I *dodge*.) [The turret locks onto Chomei, and fires. Gimme a ranged def roll, Cho.] [Chomei ducks, and shell creates a big hole in the wall where his head was a second ago.] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei charges Rownal with electricity and fires an arrow at the turret, a streak of lightning following and charging the projectile. ( While Maria's right next to it? @_@ ) (I'm assuming I can get a clear shot in given that I don't normally have problems with that, and there aren't any rules giving problems with it. ^^;) (But, uh, I'm assuming she's NOT in the way. Given she'd want to get behind it to disable it.) [The arrow strikes the turret, and it crackles, but still looks operational.] [Chie's turn] * Chie makes with the ducking and staying out of the way. (Total Defense, again.) [Maria's turn!] ( It doesn't short out or anything? Wow. Uhm... is it still crackling with electricity? Because if it is, I really shouldn't touch it, unless my suit insulates me really well. ) (Yeah, that was kinda why I was using electricity? Shouldn't it do the short-out thing on an automated turret? ^^;) ( It does extra damage. ) ( And yes, it's still fizzy. ) * Maria guages something in her mind, and then tries to disable the turret again. ( Made. XD ) [The turret goes out with a WHEEEEEOOooooooo...p.] Yes! Good job, Maria! Nice. * Asanjya stops chanting. She nods. * Maria flashes a thumbs off and then sneaks on down the hall. * Chie sends over the radio, ~Maria disabled it.~ ~Yeah, we're fine.~ ~Maria's exploring ahead.~ ~Oh, come on, that's *so* not our fault.~ ( Ok, all of you guys into the main channel. ) ( This is now Maria's sneaking channel. ) * Maria sneaks! And looks around, and tries to listen for anything she can hear over the alarm klaxon. [Maria is sneaking down the corridor resulting. There's some doors on the left and right up ahead, and an intersection way at the end.] ( Lets say four doors. ) ( two on each side. ) * Maria reaches for the door, but then thinks better of it and just keeps watch from here, since the others are coming anyway.
