Setting aside the idea of magic for the moment, Valeria unloaded the shotgun in Dan's direction, all directed towards the stomach and chest.

@Empfan: I hate to bug you, but did my char get accepted into the game? I didn't see any responses to it.

[empfan]

derp, forgot to put it in the OP, done.

[Turn 5: Your First Mission pt. 7]

Setting aside the idea of magic for the moment, Valeria unloaded the shotgun in Dan's direction, all directed towards the stomach and chest.

(1)(5+2=7) You aim your shotgun at Dan, who is still laughing, and you fire a shot at him with the shotgun (7-4=3) and is slightly grazing in the shoulder (-5)

Try to make a shadow spike wall one last time

(3) You manage to gather up enough power from the shadows to use the attack and (2) You are still unable to go through with it, the magick dissipates in your hand, draining the last magick point.

Dan Lets of fireball at Valaria (4-2=2) and manages to dodge the attack, causing dan to curse and fire off his gun (1)(1) Which jams.  Valaria takes advantage of the moment and fires off a round at Dan (4+2=6-1=5) Who manages to get off a shot aimed towards the gut.  It hits him straight and true, causing Dan to crumple to the ground, vomiting.(-10 | stunned for 1 turn)

Use both pistols, and open fire on the freaking thing

[SeriousConcentrate]

Valeria followed up by continuing to fire while Dan was injured and down.

[empfan]

Right, been derping up the parts, so I'll just fix it here
[Turn 6: Your First Mission pt. 7]

Use both pistols, and open fire on the freaking thing

(3)(3)(4+1 | 2+1 | 1+1 | 4 | 3 | 3)  You unload on Dan, and he gives one last sigh before dying for good, the demon dead, you go over and look at your work, reload, place the magick to cover your tracks, and leave.(-45, dead as a doorknob)  You go back to face the music for having dranor die, but you decide to make a few pit stops, for gas and food.  After you finish up at Dennys, you all head back to the bailiff to tell of the general success.  He doesn't seem too upset, after all, he wasn't exactly as useful as that "Soldier Girl" you all see walking around.

"You can keep the equipment you got, but your squad is too small.  I'm signing you up with Sheldon and Soldier, who are just about to go on their mission.  Heres a bit of extra ammo for your guns, good luck and go catch up to them.

oi, going to say this real quick, going to leave you in the dark with the parts for Emmie Silvey's chapters, since Soldier doesn't meet her untill maybe 3/4 of the way through the book.  If you want to understand what the flying fuck is going on in the end bit, your going to have to buy the book.

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Would now be a good time to introduce Dwarmin? :3)

Valeria took the box of shotgun rounds and a box of pistol rounds furtively, watching the bailiff to see if he would try to snatch them back as she did. Once she was satisfied he wasn't, she reloaded her guns and pocketed the remaining ammo.

[adwarf]

Pocket the ammo, and head to our next mission

[empfan]

Also, Dwarmin, your already in a car behind the rest.

[empfan]

Right then, time to move on to the main story, give me a half hour to re-read the first Soldier chapter and then we can begin

[empfan]

Going to try to do a bit more "story-ey" sort of RTD, tell me if this is fine

CHAPTER 1: The Black Stallion

The old hearse, a 1948 Caddy slick and long as a black than stormy New England night, subtle as a fucking heart attack, rolls unchallenged through the wild Massachusetts night.  In the passenger seat, Soldier drifts between her uneasy dreams and the nagging edges of wakefulness, dozing and waking and dozing again to the metronome rhythm of the windshield wipers.  The radio's set to classic rock station out of Boston, and she's already told that asshole Sheldon that she'll break his goddan fingers if he so much as touches the dial.  He can listen to that indie-rock college shit on his own dime, not when she's trying to catch a couple hours' shut-eye before a job.
   After Providence and their brief meeting witrh the Bailiff and one of his boys at the Dunkin' Donuts on Thayer Street, the hearse left the city and followed I-95 north all the way up to and across the New Hampshire state line, finally doubling back at Hampton Beach, because that's the way the Bailiff told them to do it.  Just like always, everything worked out ahead of time to the letter and in accordance with the Bailiff's precise instructions, the plans he'd cobbled together from star charts and newspaper astrologers and the obscure intersections of geometry and geography, nothing soldier even pretended to undertand.  She listened when e talked and did what she was told.

You all followed behind Soldier, driven by a new guy to replace Dranor, Gerome.  You all got patched up and re-loaded, so you were ready to take on whatever was ahead.  And frankly, none of you felt like sitting with The Bailiff's executioner...

You all generally talk idly as the trip goes on, and you see that Sodier is drinking again, even after the Bailiff said to not to.  You all finally get to the house and you hear a bit of what Sheldon and Sodier are saying.

"-shakes, the Bailiff said I would, but it never happened." said Sheldon.  "Thats because your such a little cold hearted bit of jam." Soldier says.  Zack and Gerome snicker at the joke, and they both turn to you all, mid conversation.  "Alright newbies, simple mission, get in, kill the guys, burn the place to the ground -she points to the gasoline- and get out.  We're not using magick to cover it up this time, Bailiff didn't say why, don't care.  Armour up and lets move."  You all get your weapons and armour and move on, ready to kill the target,Mr. Bittern.  He's been consorting with demons, and like soldier said, you don't care much past that.

[Dwarmin]

Gerome checked his gun again, frowning. This was an older model-and remarkably poorly kept. He'd be lucky if it didn't explode in his hands. Then he tucked his hat back over his forehead, checked the straps on his armor, and his pockets...and then he did it about four more times.

"Yes...why is it always fire? They know my magicka isn't good around that. If we wanted to send a message, we could come across as more than petty arsonists." He wisely complained to no one but himself.

He spared a look over at Valeria. A twinge of something passed over his face. Fifty percent cold calculation and an unseemly hunger, twenty five percent disdain and disgust at her appearance, and twenty five guarded, confused pity.

"...you look a mess, Ma'am. If we're lucky and fast, I can show you how to get things, fix yourself up a bit. It's not hard, if you know what to do."

He didn't wait for a reply, merely striding off, clicking his tongue to the roof of his mouth idly.

Action: Prepare for the mission as best I can (no real action I can think of other than to wait/rp)

[SeriousConcentrate]

Valeria merely gave Gerome a look of trepidation and backed away, clutching her shotgun like a protective talisman. She hadn't spoken a word yet; although she knew how, she didn't speak often. Noise brought attention, so she only used her voice when necessary. Still, she was wondering what exactly he had meant with his comment, and so when he turned his back, she followed in his shadow, a good five or six feet behind him and casting glances at Zack, Soldier, Sheldon, and Gerome every so often but mostly keeping a lookout for danger.

Follow Gerome but watch out for ambushes and traps.

(Also, this is fine, I prefer moar story in RTDs in general. )
