Vaylar Rising — IC

[FinalTemplar]

Tristan glances over at the others, grimacing. I can't let it happen again. He thinks with a soft groan. Kicking himself for putting himself on the line, he runs out in front of Sven, aiming at one of the officers. He lets off a shot, blasting the officer. "Make a break for the exit, go! I'll cover you." He shouts, not speaking at anyone in particular. He realizes rather quickly the situation he's put himself in and closes the door.

Standard action: Shoot Gun @ Officer 7.
To hit: [1d20+6]=13+6=19

"Hey!" Antoine shouts out as he catches Tristan peel off. He repeats it once more before he sees the door slam shut. He ain't gonna make it out if he's guarding that door, he realizes, the heroic — or stupid — act causing the psychic to slow a beat before continuing to make a break for it. Never asked nobody to sacrifice themselves on my behalf. He mulls over the terrible feeling as he runs. Let's just hope it's all worth it.

As the officer Tristan shot at falls to the ground, Vibol's last bodyguard let's another mag round fly. Tristan manages to close the door, but the electromagnetically accelerated slug shoots through the wooden door like its paper, grazing the ex-gangster before smashing apart a shelf of keepsakes up against the far wall.

However, with the door shut, you are given a brief a few seconds of respite allowing Antoine and Em to move up to the end of the next exhibit, nearly able to get eyes on your evac point.

Map Info

Each square is 2m x 2m, however this is just for reference, you are not fixed rigidly to the grid and each person takes up 1m x 1m.

All of the interior doors can be assumed to be propped open, to ease the movement of guests around the event, and can be closed or reopened if necessary with an on turn action. This excludes the red security doors, which require staff key cards for access and are closed, although with the exterior doors leading to the plaza and the courtyard.

Enemy Info

Tobias Vibol: The head of the propaganda arm of the Escriosian government in Davonia, and your target.

Bodyguard: Vibol's personal bodyguards. Likely to be undercover military or police, they are probably armed with concealed weapons, and it is likely they are wearing some form of protective armour, either secured suit jackets or something else underneath their outfits.

Ethan Alegre: Kasi'mela local turned Escriosian war hero turned propaganda star. He is dressed in a military dress uniform with a visible side arm.

Officer: Adorned in dress uniforms, complete with side arms and, in a couple of cases, ceremonial swords. None of them are immediately recognisable to you as any of the top brass of the occupation, however they are certainly not far from the top of the totem pole.

Soldier: Regular enlisted of the Esriosian military, with enough political or professional connections to be granted an invite to this prestigious event. They are unarmed and wear the dress uniforms of their respective branches.

Julian Lynwood: The museum's curator who purchased Jug from Em the previous day.

Deucias Madani: One of the men Tristan and Em spoke to on the museum veranda.

Kamal Madani: One of the men Tristan and Em spoke to on the museum veranda.

Crowd: The rest of the crowd is composed of civilians from Escriosian and Vaylan high society. They are unlikely to be any threat. Many are probably innocent, just born into wealth and privilege, while many are likely highly complicit in the oppression of the occupiers. As most of the crowd would attempt to hide or flee at the outbreak of combat, I will process their actions in one go at the end of each round.

We need heroes like that. Shame it'd have to be him. I've started to like him. John thinks about Tristan's heroics as he runs for his exit.

[Namelessjake]

As Stamps exits the gift shop, the door Jug closed is thrown open by an officer, laser pistol and ceremonial sword in hand. Behind him, the crowd rushes for the exit, carrying more military personnel along in the flow of bodies. Another officer breaks free of the tide, and levels her laser pistol at Jug, slicing the gift shop's cash register in half.

Sven winces as laserfire slices through the air around him, adrenaline and the dose of Tsunami numbing any pain he might otherwise be feeling. He gives Tristan a look of surprise and concern before continuing his sprint. The fuck is he doing? This isn't some action flick where he can still get out of this on top.

"Cease Pursuit." Jug outputs, as they shift their weight to turn to the closest officer. Using their still free arm, they wind up and deliver a punch to the Officer adjacent. While they cannot hope, they rely on the uncertainty of potentially knocking him off balance enough to facilitate a retreat, as they turn to run to the next door and point of cover.

Mechanics

Main Action: Punch Officer 1
To hit: [1d20+4]=12+4=16
Damage: [1d8+3]=2+3=5
Move Action: Run 10m East, eating an opportunity attack, and hopefully taking cover behind the next door.

[Namelessjake]

The officer swipes at Jug as the VI runs for it, but they are able to make it around the doorway to the next exhibit hall and into cover. The crowd continues to scramble for the exit, with some frantic civilians appearing further ahead, trying to escape the main hall via the Jungles of Sarma exhibit.

Two more suddenly burst out of the courtyard and into the poetry hall most of you find yourselves in, revealing several more civilians taking cover or hiding in the courtyard.

Antoine beats feet, finally reaching the Jungles of Sarma exhibit as a storm of civilians move through in a panic. He pauses a moment. Peering around the corner he finds a number of armed soldiers already headed his way. With the Tsunami pumping in his veins, he spots one dart out into the open, laser pistol in hand. No, no, no, we're moving too slow, he realizes.

His eyes meet hers. Get.

Antoine blinks. Gone.

She crashes against the laminate floor, unmoving.

Tristan shoots behind him at the officers in the lobby as he runs. His round catches the officer Jug punched in the head, sending him crumpling to the floor and spraying blood over those behind him.

Meanwhile, near the Jungles of Sarma, another soldier, with a laser pistol acquired from a fallen officer, runs across the doorway, taking cover where the soldier dropped by Em had been only seconds earlier. She takes aim and fires at Em, but a civilian runs past as she does. Her expression turns from one of determination to one of horror as her laser beam cuts through the man, dropping him to the floor.

Meanwhile, two of the officers in the lobby, push up into the gift shop, taking cover behind the shelves of souvenirs before firing at Jug and Tristan.

Tobias Vibol: The head of the propaganda arm of the Escriosian government in Davonia, and your target.

Bodyguard: Vibol's personal bodyguards. Likely to be undercover military or police, they are probably armed with concealed weapons, and it is likely they are wearing some form of protective armour, either secured suit jackets or something else underneath their outfits.

Ethan Alegre: Kasi'mela local turned Escriosian war hero turned propaganda star. He is dressed in a military dress uniform with a visible side arm.

Officer: Adorned in dress uniforms, complete with side arms and, in a couple of cases, ceremonial swords. None of them are immediately recognisable to you as any of the top brass of the occupation, however they are certainly not far from the top of the totem pole.

Soldier: Regular enlisted of the Esriosian military, with enough political or professional connections to be granted an invite to this prestigious event. They are unarmed and wear the dress uniforms of their respective branches.

Julian Lynwood: The museum's curator who purchased Jug from Em the previous day.

Deucias Madani: One of the men Tristan and Em spoke to on the museum veranda.

Kamal Madani: One of the men Tristan and Em spoke to on the museum veranda.

Crowd: The rest of the crowd is composed of civilians from Escriosian and Vaylan high society. They are unlikely to be any threat. Many are probably innocent, just born into wealth and privilege, while many are likely highly complicit in the oppression of the occupiers. As most of the crowd would attempt to hide or flee at the outbreak of combat, I will process their actions in one go at the end of each round.

Alarms and alerts sound off inside Jug's systems, indicating that substantial damage has been sustained. Steam violently hisses from their right shoulder joint, but it remains functional, if just barely. They swap to the combat shotgun, level it at the officer as their soldier programming dictates to them: Eliminate All Hostiles. Time seems to slow inside Jug's perception, as their processor overclocks itself, wrestling against the bloodthirst.

They reach out and slam the door closed, cutting off the visuals of the officers still in the gift shop, and the crowd beyond. "All Non-Combatants, Evacuate or Find Cover Immediately. This Area Is Exceedingly Dangerous." They output, their monotone voice echoing through the courtyard, as they storm past the civilians and into the exhibit of the Jungles. The steam hisses more gently from their shoulder as they come to a stop next to Antoine, taking cover on the wall next to him.

Mechanics

On-Turn Action: Swap to Combat Shotgun
On-turn Action: Close Door to Gift Shop
Full + Move Actions: Run full movement Northeast, through the courtyard, to end movement next to Tone, behind the wall that was always there.

[Namelessjake]

As Jug charges through the courtyard, to their left they spot a trio of unarmed soldiers near the courtyard's Western door, clearly unsure what to do. The crowd seems to respond to their command, with several of the civilians in the Jungles of Sarma exhibit braving the crossfire to flee back out into the main hall. Others move, trying to find the safest spots to cower, unwilling to risk running for it.

The officer by the door to the main hall leans around his corner, firing a laser beam at Stamps. The beam hits the statue behind the bureaucrat, scoring with carbon and slightly melting the stone general's face. Another officer, the one Antoine took aim at earlier from the balcony, comes running into the courtyard from the main hall, trying to flank the main group.

Antoine clenches his teeth, struggling against the grip of the soldier intent on tearing the ancient rifle out of his hands. He flinches when the bullets from Sven's machine pistol whiz past him, then again as he hears the rhythmic stomp approach right behind him. He spares a glance over his shoulder. The steam fumes billowing from Jug's shoulder is enough for him to realize they're not long for this world.

Antoine turns back. You want this thing, man? he asks the would-be hero, feeling the pulsing of telekinetic power rearrange the air around him, sending tiny eddies rolling through the growing steam cloud. Take it, then. With a frantic and powerful energy, Antoine rams the tip of the rifle toward rib. An invisible bayonet of force lances the struggling soldier, coating the barrel with blood and sending him to the floor.

"I got you," he gasps, eyeing Jug. "I got you. Just keep moving. Everyone, keep moving."

He dashes ahead, into the room, taking cover against a corner of the main exhibit.

Tristan, Em and Antoine all drop their targets and continue to push towards the loading area.

As Sven gets the door to the loading dock open and runs inside, he sees the far loading bay door is open, with a large six wheeled ambulance partially backed inside. Its rear doors are thrown open to reveal Jin dressed in a paramedic's uniform.

Meanwhile, Vibol's last remaining bodyguard runs towards the Jungles of Sarma from his body atop the stage, tears streaming down her face. Teary eyed, she raised her mag pisol and pulls the trigger. Em feels a searing pain as the electromagnetically accelerated round punches straight through her old Esriosian armour, hitting her in the abdomen and coming straight out the other side with her back armour plate finally stopping it.

Jug meets Antoine's eyes, the unblinking blue glow flickering ever so slightly, and they nod once, short and sharp. A cascade of thoughts and processes flash across their circuits, something that the VI has difficulty recognizing, for how long it has been since this reaction occurred. The digital noise finally arrives at a crystal clear point: Solidarity. Comrade. Brother.

Their attention focuses on their core, on the two tiny plates rattling around in their hidden compartment. They remember the fallen, those left behind. We must keep moving forward.

They do not have teeth to grit, nor nerves to calm, but they quiet the alarms blaring in their head and banish them to the periphery, a problem to be dealt with later, once everyone is safe. They duck out from the wall and move forward, their heavy footfalls slowing for a fraction of a second when they see the grievous wound that Em sustained, and the bodyguard that delivered it.

"I will provide covering fire. I've got your backs." Jug outputs, mimicking Antoine, as they rush past the others, a trail of steam following behind them, ending at the boxes just inside the door of the loading dock and taking cover, combat shotgun at the ready.

Antoine stumbles as the mag round pierces Em's armor. "C'mon, c'mon," he reassures the medic, throwing an arm over her shoulder to steady her. Supporting her weight, he pushes ahead and into the loading zone, the familiar sight of Jin's face giving the psychic great relief. Not out of here yet, he remembers. He helps Em into the ambulance before hopping inside himself.

"You'll want to get up front," Antoine warns Jin, turning around to watch the door. "We got all Hell coming after us."

Officer: Adorned in dress uniforms, complete with side arms and, in a couple of cases, ceremonial swords. None of them are immediately recognisable to you as any of the top brass of the occupation, however they are certainly not far from the top of the totem pole.

Soldier: Regular enlisted of the Esriosian military, with enough political or professional connections to be granted an invite to this prestigious event. They are unarmed and wear the dress uniforms of their respective branches.

Julian Lynwood: The museum's curator who purchased Jug from Em the previous day.

Deucias Madani: One of the men Tristan and Em spoke to on the museum veranda.

Kamal Madani: One of the men Tristan and Em spoke to on the museum veranda.

Crowd: The rest of the crowd is composed of civilians from Escriosian and Vaylan high society. They are unlikely to be any threat. Many are probably innocent, just born into wealth and privilege, while many are likely highly complicit in the oppression of the occupiers. As most of the crowd would attempt to hide or flee at the outbreak of combat, I will process their actions in one go at the end of each round.

Sven pulls half of the door shut before piling into the back of the ambulance. Vibol's bodyguard moves up to take cover in the door way to the exhibit, firing another round at Tristan which shatters more of the glass display walls, sending a rain of broken glass falling down on him.

As most of the others find their way to the getaway vehicle, Em quickly reaches for one of the expired lift and applies it to herself. She can feel it beginning to work on herself, but knows it is still not enough to counteract the Tsunami's effect that is soon to expire. Damn, gotta use another one. Hopefully no one else it too beat up.

Tristan runs for the door to the loading area, dodging another desperate shot from one of the Escriosian officers. He slams the door shut, hearing an electronic click as it relocks itself, before he makes for the ambulance with Jug following close behind. The two jump in, closing the doors and Jin hits the accelerator.

The vehicle lurches forward, quickly pulling out onto the road and away from the museum. The city is alive with the sounds of sirens and as you drive you can spot the flashing lights of emergency vehicles reflecting off the glass skyscrapers of downtown as they approach from all angles. Jin hits a button above his head and adds to the chorus of sirens, firing up your getaway vehicle's own lights.

"Something else must have happened tonight too. The sirens started in the distance a few minutes before I heard the gunfire inside.," Jin says, once he's settled in after getting some distance from the museum. As he drives, the five human members of the team start to crash as the tsunami begins to wear off. Luckily for Em, the lift she applied is enough to keep her conscious through the combat stim come down, despite her gunshot wound.

"So, did you get him?" Jin asks.

Mechanics

Tristan: moves,

Officer 8: snap attacks Tristan, 4 vs AC = miss.

Tristan: shuts door which locks, moves into ambulance.

"Target Eliminated." Jug outputs from their position in the back. "Additional Casualties: 4 Security Guards, Prior to The Assassination. 9 Active Combatants. 1 ""War Hero""--" They specifically pause before and after those words, denoting their distaste of the concept. "And 4 Civilians." They finish their report, their monotone voice offering neither comfort nor criticism, simply stating the facts.

[Scratcherclaw]

"Yeah," Sven says weakly, wincing through the resurging pain now that the Tsunami has worn off. Fuck, that stings. Will look even worse tomorrow, I bet. He takes a low breath, trying his best to ignore it. "What Jug said. Ethan Alegre won't be smiling on your TV anytime soon." Four civilians? Shit. Glad it wasn't more though. Not like we tried to go for them. Just rich dumbfucks who ran toward the gunfire instead of away.

[ratwizard]

Antoine is quiet for several minutes, his rapid breathing the only noise he makes while his body attempts to recover from the sprint. He watches Em apply her stims with a pained look, knowing the mag round she took nearly killed her.

With the combat drugs leaving his metabolism, Antoine's hands begin to tremble once more — though so do his arms, his legs, his neck, his eyes. An intense pain fills his temples and forehead, no longer suppressed by the sensory antagonists from the Tsunami. He gags, grabbing a nearby sheet and vomiting into it, then once more. "S-Sorry," he manages, his voice uneven and stilted. To anyone paying attention, his umber skin tone has gone quite pallid and grey — his posture a loose hang as if he can hardly hold himself up enough to sit.

Been a long while since MES sickness, he considers, wondering whether he'd used his powers more today than he had in the last two decades. Forgotten what it feels like. It's like... flexing a muscle that ain't been used in far too long. Smarts like a bitch, but at least didn't have to torch back there. The thought causes a visceral reaction in his belly, a throbbing wave of nausea pulsing through him once more. Might not have made it out had I done so.

[Fialova]

Em quickly applies a second expired lift after the first, before quickly doing what she can with the materials available in the ambulance to clean and dress her wound. This really fuckin' sucks, holy shit, she thinks, gritting through the pain as she applies some alcohol on the spot, before covering it with a bandage and gauze. Once everyone is inside, and the vehicle starts moving, she does her best to find a relaxing position to lay in with the pain she is feeling. 

"We got it done, took a lot of those other fuckers with 'im too," Em responds to Jin, confirming what her companions had already said. "All in all, went a hell of a lot better than I expected. We all got out alive, even if just barely," she continues, before groaning slightly in pain from her fresh wound. Nearly died back there, damn. Even unprepared for a fight they lit us up. But we got the guns, got our mark, now we just gotta get back in one piece and rest before the next one I guess.

[FinalTemplar]

Tristan collapses before the vehicle even begins to move, and the adrenaline fades. As the moment passes and he feels his hands stop shaking, he clicks the safeties back on again, takes a seat, and then looks around at the others. We got lucky. I got lucky. But I couldn't let it happen again. He offers a grim smile to the others; "I'd say that was a successful job. Not the cleanest that I've been a part of, but we all made it out." His smile fades as he continues; "I've watched too many drop dead on their first job." He glances over at Em, and looks at her bandages from a distance, wincing as he realizes his wounds.

[BartNL]

"We did it. No chance to confirm from up close, but we hit our target down for sure." John replies. "Let's patch up and reload our weapons. In case their are any surprises."

Info

Would it be possible to mount the heavy machine in the back of the ambulance? How long does it take to mount/unmount such a weapon?
