Re: No Time For Sorrow
Jil smiled. She may be thenew sarge, but they all were a help.
You all have good points. But bigger building, more orcs. I think something thin and tall, like a skyscraper, wuld be best. Maximum vision, cloer quarters that foavrus over numbers. Fewer places for some grot wth a deathwish to hide. Either way, let's get moving. I want the flamer and two lasguns in front. I'll take one of those positions, for the other I need a volunteer. Everyone else, file in. Sniper in the center so you don't get picked off in the back with no good close range weapon. Rocket too, to cover both ends of the convoy. Any other suggestions, make em quick. Let's move.The Bear is Back.

Jannek takes center so that he can quickly get to any injured, his long knife out and ready in one hand, his Medkit in the other.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Right lets do this
Zavrath brandishes his Knife and Pistol
I'll take somewhere near the middle.
Wait, what if they have radius effects? We'll be sitting ducks, all of us getting hit right away. Should we go in two groups? Or should we try a different plan?

"I'll help with the lead." Smiles Tauride brandishing his two rifles.
He looks down at the two bayonets as if trying to decide which one would work better. Eventually grabbing the one on the left he looked up at Zavrath "Loose formation buddy, weren't you at the academy? He laughed.Thanks to Kyace for the avatar.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Gorkraj has been silent the whole discussion, moving slowly and purposefully and building himself a crutch. He pats Jilikian on the shoulder and nods. This is the most you'll usually get out of the stoic voxman. He takes up a position near the centre of the squad, laspistol in hand, and waits for orders.
The nearest skyscraper is about a kilometer away, to what seems to be the northeast.
The sergeant is carrying little of worth - a picture of him, three children and a woman, presumably his wife and kids, a small, almost-new journal with few entries, and a slightly more detailed map than the one you all carry. R'nshai, acting as chaplain, also picks up his dogtags, and adds them to the 23 others he's carrying (OOC: I'm presuming you're doing battlefield last rites, which are as follows: 1. Say prayer. 2. Remove dogtags. 3. Cremate/bury/abandon body).
The grots have little - a few creds which they probably picked up for the shine, and some automatic pistols and crude knives. There's plenty of ammo for the guns around, so they'd make a practical and memorable trophy.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
R'nshai stands from the body and turns to the rest of the squad. He hefts his flamer and smirks "Ready and willing Sir." he walks over to the grots and grabs an auto and a couple clips, stuffing the pistol into his waistband and the clips into a pocket. "Let's go."

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Jil winks at Zavrath after Tauride answers for her. She stops and, with a quick smack of her las, dislodges a grot's pointy tooth. She puts this in her pack, smiling at the others, and then leads onwards towards the skyscraper, staying alert.
Let's go, people. Honor and glory awaits, or atleast a hill of dead green skins!Last edited by purepolarpanzer; 2007-11-25 at 09:58 PM.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
"Why not all three?" Tauride smiled and took up a place on the opposite side of R'nshai.
Maintaining a brisk pace at the front of the squad Tauride weaved in and out slightly as they had been taught at the academy. Never lead a predictable path, although the orks aren't known for there strategy.
Gazing constantly to all sides and dead ahead Tauride willed that he spot the creature before it spots him. The Emperor has forsaken this place.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Jurgis tails behind the group, nervously swiveling left and right as he scans the doorways, alleys and windows behind them.
SpoilerSpot - (1d20+3)[4]
Listen - (1d20)[11]
If Jurgis sees movement from behind, he shouts "Ambush!" and dives for cover at the side of the road, (Hopefully allowing the other players to react to the DMs post rather than waiting for me)
Ouch... that's a bad roll. I'd better mention now that Jurgis will also try to alert the squad if he hears something, and will yell loudly if hit.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
R'nshai moves ahead, the cold wind seeming a balmy breeze to his kallindrian temperament. He moves low, flamer forward but held close to his body so as not to stick out. One hand is within easy distance of his las pistol. He keeps his body low and his eyes and ears sharp, ready to flame the first greenskin he sees.

what are the stats for the auto, though I'd rather not have to use it
edit: unless anyone objects, R'nshai carries the sergeant to the lander, puts the picture in his pocket, and rolls him into the fire

Re: No Time For Sorrow
It takes about half an hour to reach the nearby skyscraper, moving slowly and cautiously as you are. Once you get to within about a hundred yards of it, you can smell the foul stench of Ork wafting from the tower, and see some hunched, massive forms gathered around the base of the tower. Luckily, none of them see you, and you make it into the ruined shell of a building less than fifty yards from the doorway into the tower. There are at least four Orks clustered around the entrance, throwing rocks at the numerous grots and munching on partially rotted human remains.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Jurgis breathes a sigh of relief as the troop nears its destination. He comes forward to rejoin the squad, and catches sight of the orks. "Looks like we're facing our first assault. " he says, hunkering down in a defensive position looking back down the street for patrols.

Re: No Time For Sorrow
"Big..." R'nshai mutters, crouching behind a spur of battered ferrocrete wall, "to damn big." He stows the flamer's nozzle aperture an unslings his pilfered las gun. The stock clicks into place and he checks the charge, dialing the pack to full power. He shoots a look at Jil, "Your call it Sir."

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Jil slides up against a wall, peeking out to check the orcs and grotz. She breathes heavily as she thinks.
Alright... ok. I have a plan.
She bends down, motioning for everyone to follow her down to a squat so she could use the dirt on the broken floor to plan. She then motions Tauride to move to the position she held and to make sure the greenskins do not advance.
We'll fill you in in a second.
She the begins drawing a diagram in the dirt to show her plan.
Someone will throw a grenade, and everyone with las rifles will start opening fire, full-auto, on the greenskins. This should throw them into a chaos, especially if we target the big ones first. Once they regroup, most of us will take cover. A few will have to keep up the fire to keep the orcs interested and provoke them to charge. That will need volunteers, as I'll not put any of you in any danger without you knowing the risk. Once the greenskins get close to the building we're in, R'nshai will pop out of cover and flame them when they're not expecting it. They should charge right into it. A few seconds of fire, no hero stuff, and then we all come out to keep firing onthe survivors. Some of us may want to change to laspistols and knives just in case some make it to us. And I want the rocket launcher ready to lay down death if more orcs come out or if something bigger and nastier pokes its ugly head out. Any questions?

Re: No Time For Sorrow
I think that me and Jarrek gesturing to the other sniper,would be better off taking down their leader fast. after that we would join up with the missile launcher. But it's up to you Jill.
OOC: If there are any special weaponers, e.g. Rockkits, Burnas, and the like. I will also suggest taking them out quickly as well

Re: No Time For Sorrow
Jurgis looks up from his gunsights "Whatever we do," he says, "I'd want to do it fast. There's no telling when another bunch might arrive. Speaking of which, can we spare anyone to watch our backs? We've got three or four guns, and one or two pistols, depending on whether Grokraj is fit to fight and how he's armed. Then we have the two snipers, the rocket and the flamer."

Re: No Time For Sorrow
With no more objections, Jil nods.
Alright. Small change. Grenade the orcs first. Then me and atleast three other troopers begins blasting. Then, when they charge, because they're orcs and they Will charge, flame them. Then blast again. Rocket and one sniper hold back aways to fire if any big boys come out, and anyone not blasting or waiting is covering our tails. If there are no more questions, I think it's high time we got into that tower.The Bear is Back.

"Roger that," replies Jurgis, flicking the burst power limiter on his lasgun to the off position and creeping towards the orks' position with his head down. (Looking for some kind of cover roughly 30' from the orks. If I can't get that close, then as close as I can get without breaking cover) "On your mark, Sergeant."
