(So I got a PM asking about ways to earn skills. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to do that?)
Turn 5:Moe reloads his rifle, then charges towards the guy who dropped his gun. The other guy in the hallway opens fire. (2) Or he would have if his gun had any ammunition in it. Moe tackles the guy who dropped his gun and wrestles him. (4+1) The man is thrown against a wall for 2 damage. Moe grabs the pistol.
Haruki sees Moe charge the two men and joins in from the side. (4+1) As Moe tackles one man, Haruki slices the other one’s arm off, for 6 damage.
Jane is surprised to see Moe charging at the enemy, but after a few seconds follows behind him. As Haruki leaps out and slices one man’s arm off, Jane joins the fray, drawing her katana and (3+1) stabbing the man in the chest for 2 damage.

Robert turns to John, and says “Alright John, I'm gonna rush them with my spear as soon as it seems like I can get close to them without getting shot at. I want you to cover me as while I rush in. That guy by the door that's near where the three crazy guys are at is with me so don't shoot him." John nods and they wait for an opportunity to attack. Meanwhile,
Jason opens fire on the bad guys. (5+1,5+1,3+1) Two rounds slam into the first two men’s heads killing them. The third guy is shot in the chest for 4 damage. After seeing Jason take down two of the enemy,
Robert charges in. (1) He trips over a dead body and falls to the ground taking 1 damage. Behind him John opens fire on the last remaining guy. (6-1) The shot hits the remaining cultist in the chest, causing 3 damage.
Dr. Chomsky (4) ignores the pain in his legs and continues to shoot. (3-1) However the pain causes him to drop the gun when he tries to fire. Picking up the gun,
Clair (5-1) shoots the last cultist in the leg for 3 damage. (6) Unfortunately, the last three guys choose this time to exit the room and try to join in the fight. They seem very surprised at the carnage outside and the numbers of their attackers.

Name: Jane Andrews
Gender: Female
Age: 46
Previous occupation: Restaurant Manager
Backstory: Having grown up as an abused child who was never popular in school, Jane's clever and careful and has mostly forgiven humanity for the torment done to her when she was helpless. She did graduate from high school and is quite intelligent; she might have gotten far in college but she wanted to work instead and was promoted well in various careers for being well spoken and dedicated. She started studying martial arts while still in high school, and in a sense she's still not grown up - she matured extremely early and started behaving with the restraint needed to survive the abuse she faced by the time she was four, but in many ways parts of her are still a child and could always be. She grew up with horror and has seen some of the absolute worst that human beings can do to each other; self control and control of her immediate environment is absolutely essential to her. So long as she can control herself, all actually is right in her world, no matter what monsters confront her or what form they appear as.
