NVM retreat quietly to actual cover.

Surprise Round

Shoot the Gretchen I guess, then take a half action to aim again.

You see your laser beam appear toward the gretchen and just over his left shoulder. Shooting massive Orks was always easier...so long as they weren't running. And also you weren't moving. As long as everyone remained still you could probably maybe hit them.

In response the vile creature points their torch at you and screams "Humies! Humies in da treez!" in a significantly less booming voice than the proppa orks.

^{_{"You're going to- ah, bollocks."}}

NVM retreat quietly to actual cover.

One of the advantages of botching the stealth mission so close to the starting point is that you can successfully run back to the forest and dive behind the trees really easily.

Kannons have Blast like grenades, so hopefully those things won't fire in your general direction.

(Yeah, gonna run then.  It'll be 3 more rounds of consecutive failed stealth checks to cut it to two rounds of running, and I think there will be more orcs at the end of that time.)

Two more turns to get into firebombing range. You're weirdly more quite when running than when you where just trying to take thing slow.

Assuming that the Orks turn doesn't massively change the situation, Vox our Siege Towers:
^{_{"They know we're here, but I don't think we're spotted yet. Turn on the engines if you hear any explosions."}}

Also aim.

[hector13]

If I can take another half action to get a full aim, do that, then shoot the ork ‘cause it probably has better weapons than the gretchen.

If I can’t get to a full aim doing that, shoot the ork, use the other half action to do Prescience unfettered.

You can get a full aim!

Alright. Maybe you can't hit an Ork that is standing still either. But you probably would have hit if your battle buddy was here. You could really use some more range time. Your attack flies well over the Ork's head and up into the sky.

One of the Kannons aims - though not at you. It is joining your las bolt in aiming far too high at the sky. Wall Ork shouts "LITE EM UP WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!" and the kannon proceeds to follow the command in a very literal manner.

An illumination shell bursts in the night sky. A group of brightly growing squigs with patchwork parachutes fill the air. All footsquad members are now standing in bright light.

Wall Ork then points his gun at the brave Guardsman charging the wall. He rolls really well but can't actually hit a running target apparently. Huh. Guess that is why Orks don't usually take up static defensive positions. The grechen is well out of pistol range but makes a spirited attempt at shooting him anyway. It predictably goes about as well as Wall Ork's attempt. He then attempts to climb back up into the safty of the wall, putting his lit torch into his wasteband so he can climb.

[Devastator]

Keep running towards the wall.  Almost there!

Also aim.

You aim and give a very optimistic sitrep to your Chimera.

Keep running towards the wall.  Almost there!

You are now one turn away from being able to throw a grenade! Hopefully you won't get blown up on the way.

"Does that explosion just before you said that count as an explosion I should be starting up the engines for, or are we just talking about future explosions here?"

[hector13]

Respond to Gunnar via vox.

“This is a start the engines and gun it all the way here kind of moment!”

[Egan_BW]

"I said that before, is your vox working properly?"

[hector13]

“Our driver didn’t seem to get the message the first time.”

Gunnar sighs and starts up the Shoot Bus, voxing to the rest of the convoy that our ground team requested evac.
Then he turns and quietly says, "Gill, do we really need to save them?"

Gill continues his cozy sleep. The only response you receive is the loud snore that is mercifully drowned out by the now-running engine.

300 meters from Fortress, Railroad clearing/APC entrance. At the 100 meter from fortress mark you would be 123 meters from the ground team, if that makes any sense.

It is now Gunnar's turn.

Floor it!

[BlackPaladin99]

when it’s my turn, aim multilas and open fire on wall top ork using most accurate fire setting.
