    Ash seemed caught in her own little world, praying to the god emperor while pressed firmly against the rock face.

    The hostiles were still pinned yet continued to pop off ill aimed shots at the acolytes.

    Nicolo paused behind the boulder, and began considering his options. HE could either charge them, or stay here, where, although their ability to shoot him was nearly negligable, so was his ability to hit them.
    He glanced behind him, at the other members of his party, and sighed. Be great if everyone had micro-bead, he thought.
    "Ah, well. I suppose I should play a waiting game for a little while here," he muttered.

    Uriel had decided fairly early on in this battle that shooting the enemy as anything but a last resort would be a bad idea. He was not a particularly good shot, his weapon was not calibrated for the engagement range, and it was dark and they were under cover. In short actual combat in these circumstances would be best considered as a very dangerous pastime in which his life was worth far more then he had the potential to gain.

    As such moral support was a much better role to play. He spoke loudly, loud enough their opponents could hear him. With any luck they would try to shoot him and he, being completely behind a rock would be fine.

    "Take heart my friends, for within the vastness of the firmament we are not forsaken among the uncountable stars.

    Even now the light of Terra under Sol is upon us. For we serve the Lord of Mankind and upon us his favor rests. Stand firm in this test, and rejoice in it. For we are given the chance to prove our faith where others must profess only with words.

    Let our deeds be like a fragrant offering, rising before the sight of the Emperor.

    Oh Lord of Earth, if it be your will this night, have mercy on these poor children who oppose your servant.

    In service of mankind it becomes necessary that some men must die.

    If these are faithful and sacrifice required of them, then let their souls be gathered to your bosom.

    If they serve heretics and evil men then let them be destroyed utterly and not the smallest fragment remain to continue service to the ruinous powers.

    For the deaths of the righteous is cause for rejoicing for they are called home to your throne yet the blood of the wicked is a testament that their foul memory endures.

    Oh Lord of Mankind in your name we endure, in your light we are sheltered, in your strength we are supported, in your eyes we are known."


    If, as he suspected this was all some elaborate Inquisitorial test then hearing him proclaim the Emperor so loudly and in what, he hoped, was so pious a fashion that they might consider negotiation. It need not be that they all must die this night.

    Then again, if they did stop shooting the situation would most likely only last long enough for his companions to get more favorable targeting solutions.

    Either way he came off looking pious and he might come off as clever in battle.

    Either way, it would be all according to plan.

    *Overview*

    Bullets flew through the air and echoed out off into the horizen as the acolytes continued to rain down the emperors fury onto there foolish enemies.
    Pinned down and forced into only taking poorly aimed shots rather then leave the safty of the rocks covering them.

    The tech priest was preaching the emperor's name and sent shivers down there attackers spine.

    Ash had been doing little...going only where she was taken and otherwise staying close to the ground muttering something. No doubt a prayer to keep her safe.

    The Acolytes may have been surprised by the attackers..but they had certainly turned the tide of the battle.

    The pinned hostiles behind the rocks were begining to see that there attempt for an ambush was not going well. They had not expected to meet such opposition.

    Regardless three of them use half actions to throw blind grenades (smoke grenades) in front of the rockface. since there literally just rolling grenades down the rock face the rolls to hit are meaningless since they will scater downwards anyway, the rolles are for grenade mishaps

    Three of the men immediatly drop grenades down the side of the rockface. Not a moment after exploding into a thick dense white cloud covering them from the view of the acolytes.

    Just as Stane begins correcting his aim from the last shot, he sees the enemy drop their grenades. "No shot... You ain't gettin' away!" With that, he slings his rifle at his back and sprints in the direction of the rock they've been hiding behind. "Move it, everyone. They're coverin' our advance, let's take advantage of it!"

    GRENADES!

    There is no time for shock, only action. And yet in the split second that it takes for Adti's muscles to tense for immediate flight and cover, he realizes, If'n they 'ad 'ny fire-flingers capable of hitting us, they woulda used 'em afore now! It's only cover! Emp'rer's arse, charge!

    As he hears Stane lose sight of his prey and then sees his fellow soldier's bulk rush out towards the enemy, Urpna takes his autogun in both hands and charges out as well, weaving and jinking in his path, in case the enemy might send them some parting shots...

    Nicolo's face barely registered the grenade's explosions, reasoning that it was unlikely that he would be damaged by the blast, parked as he was behind cover. As soon as the cloud of smoke emerged, Nicolo almost cracked a smile.
    What do you know? He thought. Perhaps the Emperor smiled on people like him. It was exactly the cover he needed.
    After glancing briefly around, Nicolo charged forward, trusting that the smoke would cover his sprint. If only it could cover their shots if they noticed him. Years of training to dodge blindfolded should help with that, though.

    Move me to CA37 (If I can make it). I swapped the autogun for the ripper-pistol mid-run, in order to better blow the enemy to their gods.
    Sorry about taking so long to post, but I have my next few turns plotted out, so don't worry about me taking that long for awhile.

    To charge forward and risk Ash would endanger their mission. Sometimes the individual could be lost in the quest for glory.

    So, sitting down in front of Ash he carefully took her hands surprisingly gently in his own.

    "Shhh child, shh. It will be alright. They aren't going to hurt you now. The Emperor is with his children, all of them. He is here right now with you. His heart is moved by your pain, and he gives you his love and support. All mankind has this blessing, if they but ask for it.

    Your safe now, you don't have to be afraid."


    OOC: We have established I don't fight. So nothing besides the above.

    As the smoke screen continued to spray up, concealing the rockface the hostiles took there chance to reload and get there bearings.
    "Frak this is bad..." one shouted as they all refitted the magazines into there weapons.

    Thats when they saw a large warrior break clear of the smoke screen rushing towards them as fast as he could muster.
    "There charging!?..OH ****!" the Man at the end yelped as he fumbled with his gun, trying to bring it to bear in time.
    The men behind the rockface are wearing what appears to be common clothing, though each one wearing a backpack and strapped with various 'essentials'. All of which is topped off by a coat obviously matching the desert surroundings.

    All the hostiles are taking a full action to reload as they were not expecting a charge. they are currently shaken (as in morally)


    Ash looked up to the uriel and held his hand tightly, looking up at him with a frightened look.
    "where not safe at all...we wont be safe untill we get off this desert....there following us." she said before burrying herself in Uriel's robes apparently for safety.

    Hearing the enemy's panicked voices, Stane grins a bit. Then, without breaking stride he shouts, "There's no reason to get yourselves killed! Any of y'that tosses down their weapons and backs off gets to leave alive!" Then, the over-enthusiastic Guardsman lays on an extra burst of speed, rushing to close the gap with his opponents.

    unfortuanatly the rules are fairly specific here. Drawing a weapon is a half action without quick draw..so you cant take full actions like (run) and (charge) and equip it sorry. The idea behind it is that your concentrating to much on running to pull out a weapon. I will however let the rule of cool apply if you spend a fate point (if you have any) to equip it as a free action during your run this one time.

    Urpna bulls forward, the cold night air as naught to his blood, now burning with a Banite's rage. He skides to a stop just outside beyond the reach of the enemy's smokescreen and grins as he sees their fumbling foes out of their rocky cover.

    He levels his barrel at them and holds down the trigger, hosing the great boulder--- and those upon and behind it--- with a hail of hot lead, only letting go when his magazine runs dry.

    Nicolo calmly levelled the ripper at the nearest enemy,doing his best to slow down from his run. He briefly sighted at the man's head, though he hardly expected to hit it, and fired.
    Unlike the guardsman, Nicolo didn't scream a battlecry. If he had tried that sort of stunt on Malfi, then he would have quickly been a lump of recently animate flesh on the floor. On the other hand, this was a battlefield, not a ballroom.

    The hail of shots poured down onto the attackers before they had a chance to react.
    The hail of bullets from Urpna tore a man to shreds, his blood splattering over the rock face and collapsing in a gorey heap. The Blind man dropped to the ground screaming as the extra shots whizzed past his head and tore at the leg and chest of another. Indeed they were not dead, but the blood dripping from there wounds spoke volumes.

    As if that wasnt enough The Assasin's toxic weapon fired with an exotic shredding sound, tearing into the back of the only surviver of Urpna's attack. With his back oozing congeled blood, the barb sticking in deep it was a surprise he lived long enough for the poisen to reach his heart. Indeed he coughed up blood but ounce before falling face first on the rocks...clearly dead all to the sounds of curses and screams from the men now clearly caught in a pincer...and suffering its effects.

    "Hush child, in so much as it is in our power we will protect you. There there now, calm yourself, it is nearly over.

    Cry all you need to. Let it all out. Your heart is too full of fear and pain. Let it out, and be free of it. That's why we cry, because our hearts are too full. Tears are the hearts way of letting out what it can't hold onto any longer.

    It okay now, the Emperor is with you, right here and right now. He is watching over you, and no force in the galaxy can harm you while he protects you."
