"Well, at least he cant come and stab me now for blowing him up"Though Jackson He then took his hat off for a moment, then proceeded to go to the edge off the roof, and try putting a couple of shots in the frame of the window
You head to the edge of the roof, and look down at the window under you. Aiming carefully with your X-10, you put a three round burst into the frame.
[Dex 3] [Dex 2] The sudden kick throws you off balance, and during your frantic attempts to stay on the roof, drop your rifle onto the ground below.
Looking through the window again, you see three bullet holes in the 2nd floor of the house. You watch, weaponless, as the two aliens from the ground floor walk up the staircase, round the corner, and then exit your view.
Attempt to get to a better position to shoot the aliens, giving little heed to his own well-being, except for whether he'll live or not.
You frantically run around, trying to get into a better position to fire at the aliens. You then realize the aliens left. Shrugging, you walk up behind a police car and balance your rifle against the hood, kneeling and waiting for the alien scum to show themselves again. Officer James approaches you.
"You are the guys from X-Com, right?" he asks, his face a mixture of confusion and apprehension.
Kick a few roof tiles away and look to blast a hole in the roof with my shotgun.
[Str 2] You weakly kick at the tiles, only achieving in catching your foot and falling on your back.
Sick of it, you press your shotgun against the roof and pull the trigger. Lifting your shotgun again, you are greeted by a somewhat clean hole, which you clean out with your foot. Looks like the hole is above one of the bedrooms. Unfortunately, you can only fit your foot or gun in said hole.
Use a branch, a piece of ration or something to check if the hole and/or the entrance are safely un-shielded. After making sure it is all fine, carefully enter the house and take cover.
Take care with the movement of my allies in the roof. Wait until they do their stuff before moving to places directly beneath their position (a.k.a. avoid moving under their spot just to be hit by roof tiles and grenades, wait until they finish to do my stuff).
You wait about 10 seconds for your allies to finish their shenanigans, during which time you snag a stick. Waving it into the large hole, you watch it catch fire and heat up fast, but doesn't melt immediately like it did before. Deciding this may be your best chance, you sprint through the hole.
Parts of your suit catch fire, but otherwise you remain unharmed. Patting out the fires, you take a position east of the entrance and peer around the corner of the wall and into the kitchen doorway. No aliens.
