Hmm. Loot any ammo that this rifle uses. Fully load up the rifle Cast [when inflicting damage][distortion dust] on either the ammo or the rifle. Preferably the rifle, if I think the effect will transfer to the ammo it fires, or if casting it on the fully loaded rifle affects the ammo inside. That is, I want it to have a magical effect when bullets hit things, rather than when the rifle itself does. But I also want that for more than one shot, if possible. The more ammo affected, the better.

Better not try to open the locked chest juuuuuust yet. I suppose there will be time for that after the encounter. When i will have to -grumble- share with my allies.

I see that I misinterpreted the map: I am on ground floor, there is a floor above me with a bridge, and then my teammates are on the floor above that. I'd shoot the guy that just feel directly above me, but I don't want to shoot my teammates in teh process, so, just kinda aim that way. If he exposes himself by attempting to climb the ladder, shoot him, then doooooooooooooooodge! Also stay away from where the acid is burning through.

You grab your idling teammates by the scruffs of their necks and shove them bodily into the Fly. It lashes out and snatches them up, pulling them under and behind it so they are out of sight.

"The price is paid."

Your head swims and you find yourself on your back, woozy, staring up at the ceiling. You sit up and find the room empty. Heavy, powerful knowledge sits in your head like a lead weight, a constant pressure you cannot ignore.

Three paragraph action huh? Sigh.

You already did grab all the ammo when you looted the bodies. You decide to cast the spell on a bullet rather than the gun, since it is the bullet that will be dealing damage. [7][8] You hold all four rounds in your hand and twine the spell around them in a single continuous action.

You slip the enchanted rounds back into the magazine and aim at the second level, right toward the man who just fell there, waiting to get a good shot.




The fight in the darkness continues but seems to take a sharp turn as the Tiger roars out and there's the sound of metal striking metal and vibrating sharply, sinking deeply.  There's the sound of foot steps running for the ladder as well. Down on the second floor the man who just fell hauls himself to his feet and disappears into the niche up there.  The acid pours through the floor even faster now and completely destroys the bridge before continuing to the ground below it. The floor of the upper level begins to groan, the holes weakening it.  On the far, eastern side, Chu can see the wood and stone start knitting together, melting into each other in a soft white glow.

You run towards her and get pretty close. At the same time you yell for the slaves to assault the tower. [8v5] The slaves already under your command run for the tower and several more join their ranks in the process.  Of course, they have a fair distance to run before they'll get there.

I'm gonna let you get over and loot the guard but even that is actually letting you move further than you should be able to. The You get a curving knife, another rifle and a magazine with 4 shots in it.

((Thanks. I knew I wouldn't be able to do all that in one turn, but since movement is rolled for I deliberately gave more movement orders than I could do in a turn so that I wouldn't be 'losing movement' in case I rolled really well (though whether that's worth it with 4 speed is debatable). So if I post an action with way more movement than I could do in the future, you don't have to exceed my movement if it's not warranted, just process up to where I can manage.))


Switch to rifle with most ammo left. Then run over to the nearest slaves (the ones above us on the map, in the building) and try to convince them to take up arms against their masters (in the typical Abu way, of course). If they agree to fight, give them my spare weapons and instruct them to also start convincing their fellow slaves.

Of course, should at any point the red threat a guard come into view, shoot him then get into cover.

You run over towards the nearest slaves and attempt to convince them to join up. [6v2] They join up immediately and you hand off both rifles to them. You tell them to go recruit other slaves and they accept the task.

Quiet, Chain'Gram. We have to be quiet.

Sneak into charge range (i.e. close enough to close in and attack in melee next turn, assuming stationary target and that I don't have enough speed to reach them this turn). Try to hide behind corners (of the warehouse, or those ?crates? to the north) until it is time to attack.

The things to the north are the legs of a guard tower, the tower currently raining fire down on your teammates. You continue to sneak up on the guard and get dang close to him. Next turn he'll be wide open.

The men up on the tower begin shooting down at the charging slaves.  One slave gets clipped by a passing shot but they all just keep running forward, ignoring the danger.  The man near Raven takes a shot at Corvan. [5v6][3] The shot catches Corvan in the left Bicep and his entire arm goes limp. The pain is dull and half numb for the moment, but blood wells up out of the wound and coats his arm.
