Round 22: Blood on the Snow Location: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Snowing (10.5 inches)Time: Evening NAV nearly rips the the sling of his Vetterli rifle off as he tears it away from his shoulder and into his hands, clearly not happy with the way things have been going so far. (1+2 vs. 6-2) Hawk crawls on his back, pushing himself away from NAV as the Kaurava shoots two shots, one going over Hawk completely and another hitting the ground a few inches south of the area between Hawk's legs. Hawk retaliates, laying on his back and pointing his pistol at NAV. (2 vs. 6) NAV ducks as a couple bullets pierce the air over his head. Hawk uses this time to take cover behind a police car. NAV pursues briefly, but as he hears Ranger groaning and grunting up to her feet, he recalls he has other problems. He snatches his golf club off the ground and turns to face her.
Execute takes to the air and flies down to one of the large warships on the beach. (3) He lands on one of the ships and heads into the cargo hold are looking for explosive materials; tip-toeing and folding his wings into his back to the best of his ability. He goes down some stairs and into what looks like a storage room, where crates are hoarding all sorts of material and supplies. Execute begins to pry one of them open when he looks up to see a sailor who he didn't see standing in the shadows, staring back at him.
Person heads towards higher grounds, pulling out his sub-machine gun just in case he faces a challenge. The citizens around him react unfavorably to this action, but he assures them that he is only guarding the camp site. (Perception: 7-1) A bit of erratic movement in a tent catches Person's attention out of the corner of his eye. He swings around as Greatness comes charging out of the tent screeching a samurai battle cry with his Katana hoisted above his head. (Initiative: 1 vs. 6) Person points his gun at Greatness and pulls the trigger, realizing in this dire moment that he had forgotten to turn the safety off. (4+2 vs. 1+2) Greatness swings his Katana down and catches Person in the head. This would have been a nasty wound if Person did not have some insurance; his helmet take the blow and is cut right through the top, stopping centimeters from Person's skull. Person steps back and frees his helmet from the blade, which now sports a big glaring gash at the top. (3+2 vs. 1) Person sprays a volley at Greatness, one bullet fated to be a headshot instead lands in Greatness's Mindwarper Helmet. The mind-reading device groans and its lights shut down, indicating that it was now broken.
Hawk crawls behind the side of a police cruiser, putting some space and cover between NAV and himself. He grabs the hood with one hand and uses it to steady himself as he rises above the cover on one good leg. He bends over, propping his arms with the bottom of his elbows and aiming down the iron sights of his pistol. (5 vs. 2) He empties the final three bullets of the clip into NAV and hits him in the left ear. NAV staggers forward and Hawk slinks down behind the cop car once more.
Nunzillor goes inside "Joey's Sports Bar", greeted with dim lights, the smell of beer and the sounds of pool balls slamming into one each other over the distant groan of hard rock music. Nunzillor asks for Tiny Chuck, and the bartender indicates a man at the end of the bar; Tiny Chuck, by Nunzillor's estimates as she gets close, looks to be over six-feet tall and 250 pounds, sporting a full curly reddish-brown beard.
"Tiny Chuck-sensei? Our... mutual friends sent me. Do you like... tea...?" Tiny Chuck turns to face Nunzillor, considering her appearance and stature. "I'll be honest, I didn't expect someone like you. Take a seat. And I ain't drank tea in a long time." He picks up a whiskey bottle on the table and chugs about a fourth of it down. "So, what specifically are you gonna' need? And how can you prove we can trust you, that you ain't working with the Feds or the Democrats?"
NAV stares down Ukranian Ranger, ready to smash her skull in with his club, so he's caught by surprise when he hears gunshots ring out from behind him, followed by half of his ear getting obliterated. He staggers froward as if someone had just sucker punched him from behind, giving Ukranian ample time to get to her feet and go Chun-Li on his ass. (9+2-1 vs. 10+2) Ukranian unleashes a breathtaking amount of side-kicks, crane-kicks, and round-house kicks, performing them with a smooth, almost instantaneous transition between each attack. NAV responds with an equally impressive defensive maneuver, ducking and twisting his body so that each kick goes around his body, ducking under the kicks aimed at his head and then immediately jumping over the sweeping kicks. (2+2+2 vs. 6+2-1) During one of Ranger's high kicks, NAV seizes her ankle before it can come down on him; he then twists his body and throws her with a mighty throw as if he were launching a shot-put.
Greatness retracts his blade from Person's head only to have his precious mind-reading device blown up on his head. Furious, he runs at Person and thrusts his blade at the center of his body. (1+2 vs. 2+2) Person leaps back and Greatness's katana's tip enters into half an inch of Person's armor, but no deeper. (6+2 vs. 6) Person would shoot, but he would much rather get Greatness, and by extension, Greatness's Katana which is inside his armor, away from him first. Person takes the butt of his SMG and swings it into Greatness's face. The Samurai falls over to the side, pulling his Katana down with him. (Injured Jaw) Person takes a couple steps back and points his gun down at the prone Greatness.
Abstract takes upon a very unconventional battle plan; rather than try out typical Wiki-Warrior styles like "Fearless Berserker" or "Sneaky Assassin" or "Leader of Many", Abstract begins his "Don't Fight Anyone and Get a Good Job, Gradual Rise through the Ranks, Get Married, Buy a House in the Suburbs, Retire to Florida and Bring the Grandchildren to the Beach Before Dying in a Trolley Accident at the Age of 84." This will no doubt inspire fear in everyone that opposes him. (5) Abstract looks through the job listings in a newspaper discarded on the sidewalk, but there's not too many job openings right now in Green Bay that Abstract would qualify for. While it isn't a job, there is an Open Amateur Professional Wrestling Tournament Scheduled for tommorow morning in the city, with cash prizes awarded to the top competitors.
