STILL waiting on NRDL.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Auto him if he doesnt post?

[Parsely]

Auto him if he doesnt post?

No shit.

[Xantalos]

Auto him if he doesnt post?

No shit.

He's been PMed and everything?
You probably already did that, but just in case...

[Parsely]

Fuck this noise. Turns up in a bit yo.

Edit: Xantalos will be upskies if NRDL doesn't get back to me after a few turns.

[Parsely]

Initiative - [5v1] You all get a running start. The sniper can't decide who to shoot first.

"Son of a bitch!" Cassia cursed as she rolled across the sand from her dive, her hand already going for her pistol. "Hey, guys, try not to damage that sled. Maybe we can use it to cross the desert faster," she said as she took aim at their assailant's head. She took a deep breath, held it, braced her wrist on her auto-cannon arm, and squeezed the trigger...

You come up from the roll, sand cascading from your shoulders as you bring your pistol up and brace it, gunmetal steel against the silver sheen of aluminium casing covering your cannon. [6+1] Your breath stills in your chest, your vision narrows and the howl of the wind dies in your ears. All you hear is a hollow click as you coldly give the trigger a squeeze. Your senses come rushing back with the shock of the grip kicking against your palm, and a small puff of red mist is carried away by the breeze. The sniper moves not an inch, frozen as if in shock, though you know he is quite dead. A feeling of amusement pulls your features back into what might have once been a smile. A long time ago. Damn son.

The crew of the sled seems to be trying to start the engine up. Probably to drive away. Everyone who charged, dodged, or otherwise attempted a melee attack during the last turn is 5 meters away from the sled right now. The others are closing in but won't make it in time (NRDL and SeriousConcentrate).

Spoiler: Player Characters (click to show/hide)

SeriousConcentrate - Cassia Barbatius
Appearance: Cassia is a short woman who looks to be in her young to middle twenties. Her hair is black, long, and wavy. Usually, all of it but a few bangs to frame the left side of her face is kept back in a thick braid, secured every three twists or so with leather bands. Her face is heart-shaped and seems to emphasize her large, dark brown eyes. Her skin is a light brown in color and generally unblemished by the rigors of combat. In short, she looks every bit the bright, chipper, fresh-faced rookie who has no idea what they're in for that she actually is.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Quintillus takes a flying leap onto the sled seconds after he sees the sniper fall and after bursting through the hatch he brings his vibro sword down on the first crewmember he sees in a fit of bloodlust roaring mindlessly as he does so.

enter vehicle, murder crew

[Parsely]

Quintillus takes a flying leaps onto the sled seconds after he sees the sniper fall and brings his vibro sword down at the driver in a fit of bloodlust roaring mindlessly as he does so.

kill the driver, ignore the rest of the crew

Let me explain the vehicle better. Its like an armoured personnel carrier with skids and a single screw that turns through the sand beneath the vehicle and pushes it forwards (it even throws sand out the back when its going really fast). So basically you guys have to climb inside a tank and fight in uber-close quarters. Just letting you know what you'll be getting in to.

[Tiruin]

Sniper down, good. Armored carrier, not so good. Cannot implant javelin, no wheels.

No, too dangerous. Must stop its mobility.

"Everyone get on it!"

Hop onto APC-ish thing, locate entrance, try to pry it open with javelin. If not, then at least make noise to...fool them in discerning where our locations are...on it.

[lawastooshort]

If it’s good enough for Croquettius it’s good enough for me, reflected Astria, thinking back to the heroes of old she was taught about at school. Croquettius was a semi-legendary figure from the golden age: it was said that once he had singlehandedly destroyed an entire legion of enemy armoured vehicles. And as every child knew, that godly rampage had started by climbing into an enemy tank and tearing apart the crew in vicious and gruesome hand to hand fighting.

”For Rome!” she cried, leaping onto the crude enemy contraption. ”Gosh!”

Waiting for her companions to ring the bell, she readied her pistol to take down the first thing that answered the door.

An excitable blood-lust flushed into her eyes. She seemed perhaps very slightly less pale than a few moments ago.

Leap onto the vehicle. Cover our forced entry with my pistol. Shoot the first enemy in sight, preferably in the face.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Cassia grinned. "Knew I could hit that shot! Hey, wait... that thing's starting up!" Even though she was aware she probably couldn't make it there, she started charging for the vehicle anyway in a desperate attempt to catch up.

(I would take a shot at it with my cannon, but I don't want to risk hitting a teammate... or the engine, since if we can capture this thing that would be pretty impressive to our commanders at the fort we're going to. >.>)

[Harry Baldman]

I suppose I'll make a sheet, if only to pad out the waitlist.

Spoiler: MT (click to show/hide)

Name: MT

Gender: Male

Appearance: a short man of indeterminate age, his shoulder-length light brown hair is sorted into many small braids. Has very thick, bushy eyebrows, narrow, darting eyes, crooked nose and a wide mouth full of yellow teeth.

Stats:
STR: 0
DEX: 2
CON: 3
INT: 5
CHA: 0

Implants: Second-Hand Repulser, Memory Module, Mag-Hands (see suggestions, PM me if necessary).

So, if I'm getting this right, MT would get three implants - two from stats and one free, right? Can he mount them right away or do I have to pick one?

[Parsely]

You're good. Yes, you get them right off.

Could I get a GM-approved description of the implants, then?

Memory Module allows you to store any information you come across, and download electronic software. Useful for capturing vital intel and looking at nudie pictures.

Mag-Hands are powerful electromagnets embedded into your palms. They prevent you from ever being disarmed, and make it easier for you to disarm others. This model also has a small mod that allows it to reverse its polarity, instantly propelling whatever is in your hand, out of your hand. This is only as useful as you want it to be.
