Round 28: A Short DuelLocation: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)Time: Early Morning Elephant swings his horse around and sheathes his sword, swapping it out for his Musket. (7+2 vs. 2) The businessman fires off the flintlock device, and through the smoky explosion of the gun a single musketball hits Fallacy in the forehead, skull, right below her previous wound. She flops onto the ground as Elephant lowers his shot and looks to see what damage he has caused, and is sufficiently satisfied. His horse painful whines.

+Article: Dmitri Tymoczko: +2 Music Composition, +2 Music TheoryHigh tyrol continues to cruise down in the street in her biplane, hitting the asphalt, swerving the lanes. (3) The highway is being held at a standstill due to traffic up ahead, and she comes nowhere near close to an airplane hangar. "What's going on?" Tyrol rolls down her window and asks the car next to her. "Radio says that there's been an accident with some sort of truck!" Comes the reply. "Hey! Are you driving a plane? That's not something you see everyday."
Execute works out his plan by taking the bags of gunpowder and tucking them into spaces that represent weak or critical points in the structure of the ship. (6+2) Storing the gunpowder in these vulnerable nooks and crannies would result in extreme damage if they were to, say, explode. He then uses some nearby rope as a fuse for the gunpowder and finally ignites the fuse sections of rope with a tinderbox. (5) Execute jumps out of a porthole and flies away, just in time for the ship to get rocked with internal explosions; he's barely in time, as the force of the synchronized blasts helps to propel him away, the heat of the reaction hot on his back. As he ascends, the air becomes thick with smoke and screams and cries of agony and confusion come from far below. Taking a look behind him, Execute spies the ship split into parts and sinking, as if a Kraken were pulling it into the depths below. He also becomes aware of the fact that the tip of his left wing is on fire.
Abstract, finally compelled to perform altruism again in his now meaningless life, swings his door wide open and rushes to the scene of the accident. He runs up to the door of the truck, "Are you alright?" The truck driver responds by unconsciously slumping over. Abstract opens the truck door and rifles through the man's pockets, using his cellphone to call for an ambulance. The driver remains unmoving and breathing, but very softly and with effort.
Greatness stands up from his fall and looks over himself to check that the chemicals from the helmet, particularly the acidic ones, didn't spill onto him or anything he had. After a quick looking, everything appears to be in order, besides from what was once his hypnotism device. He peeks out of the tent, watching vehicles full of people drive off down the road, and in the other direction, he spots Elephant Parade killing Fallacy with a headshot. Greatness exits, taking great care to avoid anyone seeing him. (7) None of them do, particularly Elephant Parade who is more concerned with figuring out if he killed Fallacy or not. Greatness turns a street corner and heads down a road, shielded by the cover of buildings and debris. The more he heads into the city, the louder he can hear gunshots coming from within.
Nunzillor updates her Assault Team on plans, giving them orders to sweep the buildings one at a time until the enemy can be found, but to fire if they're in danger or if the targets attempt to flee. (Perception: 2-1) The three militia leave the building, including one who tries to be cool by vaulting out of a broken window; in the darkness he ends up falling over the windowsill onto the ground. (3) "Ah shit! I busted my knee! Help!" The other two militia stop what they are doing and regroup to help their injured comrade. This, of course, leads to them not spending any time looking for their actual targets.
Nunzillor regroups with her squad to find that they have had no luck in finding the enemy, and have incurred an injury without getting fired upon. Nunzillor freezes for a moment to rub her forehead and sigh before looking for the Wiki-Warriors herself. (Perception vs. Stealth: 7-1) She sees a flicker of movement in a storefront in the distance. Could that be...? At this point they could be getting away, she has to take the shot. Nunzillor shoots off down the street, charging at the store while out her rifle. (1+2-1 vs. 3) Nunzillor fires a shot, unsure if she hit anyone in the heavy darkness, but getting the feeling that she didn't due to the lack of a loud thud or a scream of pain. (1 vs. 9) Ukranian attempts to fire back but she hears a click, despite the gun containing enough ammo. Uh oh.
Hawk grabs two plastic grocery bags and stuffs them with as many vegetables as he can without exceeding the capacity of either. Then, like the hero he is, he dives behind the counter and waits for the retreat.
Ukranian runs back into the grocery store, a single bullet flying past her down the road. She spins around and attempts to fire back, but is unable to get a shot off; her gun has Jammed at a very inopportune time. Cursing, she runs towards the back, signaling Hawk to follow her, which he does, bags of vegetables and all. (1) The two of them get to the back where there is an exit door, and when Ukranian opens it she finds that the exit way is blocked by the husk of an SUV that's on fire. Dandy.
Although most people were trying to leave Denmark, the city does gain one new arrival, one that parks his riverboat on the banks of the river that goes into the heart of Denmark. A lightly clothed man, the most muscular contestant that has been seen yet, jumps onto the shore. He walks forth, cracking his knuckles. "And with the jawbone of an ass, he slew hundreds of Roman soldiers..." He picks up a weighted barbell and shrugs his impressive 'stache.

That's was the fastest kill we've had in a while, wasn't it?
Person, if you don't mind, I'd like to add the AAR's to the OP of the game, for the convenience of anyone trying to catch up on the latest turns.
As a result of me being tired, I misread Nunzillor's action and was quite confused for a few seconds:((I get the feeling that Tiny Chuck is going to turn me on...))
