Nemesis Squad, Cadian 113th (IC)

[ZeroNumerous]

Commissar

Rotha knew better than to execute them over such a minor infraction, but she knew it was the threat of execution that kept men in line more than the actual results. At least, until the fighting started. And it certainly seemed to be starting. She slows, crouches and falls in line behind the sergeant. Refusing or acting on her own would interfere with morale, and she was mostly here to observe and correct morale problems. She clicks her micro-bead back on then pulls out her laspistol quickly. Thinking quickly she attempts to soothe the nerves of the soldiers and sub-vocalizes across the vox-link.

"As long as we keep the Emperor in our hearts then no enemy can stand against us."

Damn Brock mutters low enough not to activate the micro-bead. “Cover!” He sub vocalized.

(1d100)[53] Command vs. 50

Bright red streaks of las fire and the dull cough and flash of heavy stubber fire light up the night, stabbing down from the hill top. The tracers from the heavy stubber track toward the clanking Tech Priest Draxis, while the las fire gropes out blindly for Father Lucius, Guardsman Igs, and Commissar Esmella.

Spoiler

The first fire team, all the PC’s but Silvanus are at 100 metres out. Silvanus and the second fire team are 200 metres out.

Thanks to Father Lucius, all PC's get a +20 to Willpower checks vs. fear and suppression.

Father Lucius: Las Rifle Fire (1d100)[100] vs 20 (Base 30 +10 Semi auto, -20 Shadow)
Tech Priest Draxis: Heavy Stubber Fire (1d100)[40] vs 20 (Base 30 +20 full auto, -20 shadow)
Guardsman Igs: Las Rifle Fire (1d100)[58] vs 20 (Base 30 +10 Semi auto, -20 Shadow)
Commissar Esmella: Las Rifle Fire (1d100)[94] vs 20 (Base 30 +10 Semi auto, -20 Shadow)

All the shots fly wide. In all some 6-8 lasguns and 1 heavy stubber are firing.

[LTSearchEngine]

Draxis:

As shots lance out, the techpriest attempts to find cover and prepares his long las to return fire, taking aim.

He quickly relates what he learned to Brock:

"Sergeant, I am detecting a small structure built into the hill where your sniper indicated. There are a number of contacts, at least a dozen, maybe more. Some are aboveground, but I believe the majority are inside."

Disregard this post:

Slowing considerably to interpret the result of his auspex and to try to quiet the noise of his armor, Draxis hissed into the vox-bead.

"Sergeant, I am detecting a small structure built into the hill where your sniper indicated. There are a number of contacts, at least a dozen, maybe more. Some are aboveground, but I believe the majority are inside."

He then turned his attention more to picking his steps.

Move silently, if I can try again by moving more slowly:

OOC: Who, if anyone do I report to? The sergeant has military command of this mission, correct, and the commissar is independent of that? It is what I assumed.

Can I find cover, ready my long las, and take aim with my action this round?

Group

Spoiler

Show

The ground has small rises and dips along with several impact craters, so there is cover. Those who wish to take it and fire will have their legs protected. Those who wish to take cover like craven scum will have full cover.

Sergeant Brock is in Command of the Squad and all report to him, save the Commissar and her adjutant, who are aside of the command structure. At least until Esmellia deems otherwise.

Zane

Zane moves forward and takes limited cover in one of the craters. While it may not be much it's better than nothing.

Readying his gun, he prepared to give cover to others with longer ranged weapons.

[crazedloon]

Igs

As the priest voice chirps over the vox bead...

Sounds like a bunker sarge Ill move forward and try to crack it.

Before he gets a affirmative to his actions he begins to move. He sprints up the hill letting his lasgun drop to his left swinging by its strap as he hefted the grenade launcher and spun the cylinder to the krak grenades. His feet moving from crater to crater as he swiftly as he can keeping his head down.

Rotha

The shots that illuminated the area around Rotha only highlighted her fearlessness. She did not scramble or die for the dirt. Instead she simply stood, watched and calmly raised her laspistol to return fire. "We are the only squad dispatched to scout, correct sergeant? Then they must be the Enemy."

When the demo-guardsman moved forward, she aimed to provide covering fire. "It would behoove you to cover him, unless you wish to bring him back in a body-bag."

[Lycan 01]

Lucius overhears the Guardsman's plan, and realizes what he has to do. The priest drops to his knees in the best spot he can find, hoping to afford some cover. He holds his left hand high in the air, allowing those around him to see the Aquila grasped firmly in his hand. "Men of the Emperor!" Father Krampus snarls, leveling his las pistol in the direction of the enemy. "Cover your brother! Lend him aid in his mission! For the Glory of the Throne, return fire!" And with that, he gestures forward with his left hand and pulls the trigger, hoping that his shot will be one of many to provide cover fire for Guardsman Igs.

[Ceridan]

Weapons fire flies between the two sides, kicking up dirt and shredding foliage.

“Cover fire Nemesis! Pin them down!” Brock ordered as he started flanking to the side opposite where Igs was rushing. “Rogger that Commissar, we are the only squad assigned in this grid reference. Zane, with me.” He took off, advancing crater to crater.

Spoiler

General Note: A Photo Visor negates the -20 shadow penalty. The enemy is using the crest as cover, blocking any leg hits against them you may score.

Draxis: the Heavy stubber gunner is braced and unable to dodge. The accurate trait of your long las nets an extra +1d10 damage per 2 degrees of success, if you use the aim action, up to +2d10. You got four degree so roll 2d10 and add them to your 9 damage with a 1 pen.

Rotha: The target tries to dodge (1d100)[14] vs. a 15. Success.

Lucius: Your shot flies wide given the range and shadows.

Silvanus: The target tries to dodge (1d100)[76] vs. 15. Failed. Please roll location and damage.

Silvanus smiled as the shot struck home, speaking a few words of encouragement to the gun as he sighted in again. The Sniper smiled, pulling the trigger again lightly.

Commissar

Rotha didn't think much of the guardsman running toward the hill with his grenade launcher, but given his nature who could think much of him? But now he was doing the Emperor's work, and that alone was enough to defend him.

"Sergeant. I think we should end this firefight soon. We're only going to draw more of the Enemy on us by prolonging it."

The Commissar brings her laspistol up to aim at the firing enemies and returns fire.

Draxis:

Satisfied with his previous well placed shot, the tech-priest whispered ritual encouragement to the rifle as he took aim, pulling the trigger again with an utterance of the Omnissiah's name.

However, his knee slipped in the soft earth as he squeezed off the shot, with the lasbolt kicking up earth and spluttering impotently in the ground ten yards in front of him.

[Ceridan]

The heavy stubber falls silent as a perfectly placed las bolt pierces the traitor’s heart. A second las bolt glances off a traitor’s helmet, staggering him. The enemy fire has fallen off dramatically with only three of them still firing.

“Igs, we will draw their fire, frag their arses!” Brock calls over the micro-bead. “Zane, light them up!” He says as his bolt pistol barks in his hand.

Silvanus swore as the Las Bolt struck the dirt the enemy was hiding behind. He didn't stop, taking aim again and releasing another shot.

"Wonderful."

Silvanus' voice was low enough to not get picked up by the bead. He sighted down another traitor, pulling the trigger.

"Cover your Brother! Don't give those Heretics room to breathe, lest they defy the Will of the Emperor!" Father Krampus yells to the soldiers nearest to him as he tries to steady himself while sitting on his knees behind the lip of a crater, or whatever he has managed to find for cover. "Let their will break as a wave upon a rocky shore! Shatter their resolve, as the Emperor shall shatter their souls!" he tried not to preach too loudly, lest he draw unwanted attention. With his right hand, he holds the pistol steady, and tries to make sure his shot will at least give the heathens a scare. Meanwhile, he left hand hovers besides the las pistol, and he makes small gestures of blessing as he mentally prays for the Emperor to guide his aim. "Do not falter! Do not despair! The Emperor is with us! The Emperor Protects!" And with that, he pulled the trigger.

[Ceridan]

The enemy seems to be arrayed around the crest of the hill in a loose skirmish line, roughly two metres between each man. One fire team is pinned under autogun fire, hugging the earth to avoid the stream of hot lead flying over them. The other fire team is returning fire. The heavy stubber’s loader shifts behind the weapon, taking the dead gunner’s position. A chunk of earth sprays in front of a second traitor, causing him to flinch, a second shell takes him in the chest spinning him to the ground. All told there are eight enemy targets along the crest.

Counting down inside her mind the tally of bullets held within her autogun grew low. Xiv hadn't expected this situation, she had expected to only need her autogun sparingly. With another short prayer she kept her aim true at the traitors she had kept occupied and released her last ten muffled bullets. " Suppressive fire down..." she reported in. "Spare autogun clips?" It was a pointless question and she knew it as she prepared to drop the autogun for the las carbine.
