Shadow Alliance

Chu leans forward in interest.

"If the alliance is accepted, boss, I can stay behind and gather more information, while you and the others head back to headquarters and make preparations."

I believe Rau accepted the Alliance, PW, but I am interested in getting more information. I'd be willing to get that via pm so the rest of the team can move along and get ready for our next thing.

To the metal guy:
" Say, I have been very rude. What name do you wish to be known by? And as for this religious conflict, I think we understand the nature of the power struggle enough and it's causes. I am interested in knowing three things ((which should be PM'd, since it's strategic knowledge)):
First, The area of control of each of these groups,
Second, what kind of manpower each is in control of,
and Third, the nature of these potent magics, and how and when they are likely to be used.

I believe you are correct in that these two groups are our mutual enemies. They seem to breed nothing good, only conflict and destruction. We hope to be better than that."

((hope you don't mind me not posting my charsheet for talkie time))

"Ivan."

I'll want to hear it from Rau, pm or otherwise, but we can move under the assumption that its a yes. In which case this mission is over unless you have other things to do here.

You move back to the west on the building and take a shot at the gathering forces there.
[9v3][2]
You put a round straight into the leading man's forehead and his skull shatters like an eggshell. He goes down in a pile directly in front of the others.

You move up a bit and take cover behind a stone wall, waiting for a target to appear.





The overseers on the west side, seeing the man leading them go down in a spray of pink mist, turn on their heels and run back the other way.  The men to the east charge in and Vencarlo and Cyril open up on them. [4v3][6] Cyril takes a snap shot at the man who comes around the corner first and catches him him the leg. The man yelps and changes direction, diving into the building across from him, leaving a trail of blood behind.  The next man doesn't run out, he just peeks around the corner and attempts to take a shot at Cyril. [2v1][5] Vencarlo fires before the overseer, catching the overseer in the right ear and blowing a piece of it off. The overseer jerks back into cover with a scream.

Raven's Roughnecks

Pick another blunted sabre, if they have any spare. And fight! Fairly, but without going easy.
(I'm more interested in the story/result here, rather than the action-by-action intense duel, so for the sake of saving everyone's time (and not delaying R-R's next mission), could you just roll a bit for the simulated fighting and tell how it ended? Esp. since it's not like the stats to roll would vary much here.)

Kay and the Scarred Man have a little practice duel atop the gate into the Unreal. The two seem evenly matched at first, trading flowing continuous blows. The turning point comes when Kay brings a blow down towards the Scarred man's head. The scarred man, in a single motion, raises his blade and diverts Kay's strike before snapping his own blade down onto Kay's shoulder.
