Assuming that the mutants don't have a higher initative I'm going first. Quirt aims, then fires at the same target as before, roll to hit (d100)[14] and damage (d10+4)[9]

And will Asanti and Vorin please roll d10s and the higher will be going first (curse you two for rolling the same and having the same agility modifier)

Quirt's second shot hits the same man in the chest, clearly knocking him back. There's a cracking of ribs and those strange, alien eyes of its seem distant, but the foul creature is still standing.

To hit (need 50): (1d100)[13]
Damage: (1d10+1)[6]

[an kobold]

A barrage of shots fly forth from your weapons towards these heretics and mutants most foul. Alas, the Emperor was only with Quirt and Erian, the latter's shot ringing true and hitting another robed creature in the chest. The small, silenced round is not nearly as dramatic as the burst from the shotgun, but the hole in the fabric and the grunt of pain from the target indicates the little revolver did its job.

Your enemy fares worse, with only the maimed speaker striking true before moving behind the cover his now dead vehicle provides. The majority of pellets from his blast strike Quirt in the leg, the rest scattering dust as they hit the ground. The cloaked figures seem somewhat less familiar with firearms. All miss, and it seems that one of them has managed to load a shell backwards into his idiot proof, tried and true shotgun (it jammed, then I rolled a 10 ). Still, they stand, ready to continue the battle.

Next round!

[Forum Explorer]

Quirt hisses at the pain in his leg but toughs it out and reloads his shotgun.

(with fast reload it takes only 1 full round action)

Oops, I forgot to give you your damage. It was 8 before taking toughness and armor into account.

[Destro_Yersul]

Asanti mumbles something, glares at both the cogboy and the psyker, and raises his rifle again. He adjusts the sight and fires, aiming to put a hole through one of the more silent robed types. Namely the one that just got shot by Erian.

Ok, let's try this again. Still need under 73 (1d100)[15] and damage... (1d10+3)[12]

Eat hot lead, heretics.

[Verruckt]

Helena mutters a long string of obscenities in the Isolde battle cant, the oaths sounding like a singsong children's rhyme rather than a bitter epithet. She thumbs the fire selector on her rifle and looses a torrent of red spears at the shotgun wielding cultists.

[an kobold]

While Quirt reloads his shotgun, one of the things fires back and swarm of pellets that fly from its shotgun embed themselves harmlessly into the hull of the Aquila, another likewise misses. The third, however, throws aside its trashed shotgun, and despite taking two shotgun blasts to the chest, charges Quirt and attempts to grab him, its maw open wide in a sickening display of inhuman teeth. Erian maintains the discipline expected from a Sanctioned Psyker and nails the second shotgun wielding beast in the head. While its merely a grazing wound and does not pierce the brain pan, a furrow now runs down the side of its head, bleeding a thicker and darker liquid than that which is bubbling to the top of Quirt's wound. Helena, on the other hand, might want to look into ocular replacements that Vorin would do well to consider getting for both of them. Asanti, meanwhile, puts a larger, messier hole in the chest next to the wound made by Erian's pistol, but the creature merely flinches. From behind the jeep, the speaker takes aim with his last chambered shell and whatever dark deity he follows has apparently granted him a favor. Erian's right arm is pierced by seemingly hundreds of small shards of shrapnel, his flayed flesh looking far worse than Quirt's mere flesh wound.

A record of the antagonists, for both my sake and yours. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong of if I assigned your shot to the wrong person.

Speaker:
Shot once by Vorin. Still standing.
Baddie 1:
Shot twice, once by Erian once by Asanti. Still standing.
Baddie 2:
Shot twice, each time by Quirt.

Shot once by Erian.

Also, I know this sounds silly coming from me, but any news of Rockbird?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Vorin curses under his breath, his rattling voice yelling out profanities, seemingly out of place in a servant of the Omnissiah. He reloads and takes aim once more, firing at the charging mutant, hoping to take it down before it can cause any harm in close combat.

((Rockbird had to duck out, I believe. Should be in the OOC thread somewhere))

Asanti glares at it. What did it take to put these things down? He only had two shots left before he needed to reload, and that wouldn't suffice for all of them...

Spoiler

Ok, let's shoot that one again, see if I can make him dead for good. Course, if he's dead already by the time Asanti's initiative rolls around, he'll go for another of the wounded ones. I'm tempted to try another called shot, but I'd better not... (1d100)[84] and damage (1d10+3)[12]

yep, Forum roller hates me. Asmodeus, Morkai, prepare to shoulder blame.

[MorkaisChosen]

Erian gives a gasp of pain and ducks into the cover of the lander, concealing himself as best he can and cradling his bloodied arm.

Seeing the cultist charge at him Quirt drops his shotgun and draws his club. After the cultist's failed attack Quirt attacks back, holding nothing back seeing how one of his allies had been badly injured.

(1d100)[95] ARE YOU FETHING KIDDING ME? /stick lasgun in mouth

[an kobold]

Quirt's club makes neat work of the creature before him. Its head is driven down with a force that implodes the skull and carries down the spine before the creature collapses to the sandy floor. The woman you know as Tower, who must have been more affected by the strange apparition earlier than previously thought, finally opens up with her autogun towards the speaker cowering behind the truck. One shot from her burst grazes the man's head and leaves a bright red line on the side, but he calmly begins to reload his shotgun just the same. Unfortunately, Tower's good aim causes her to let her guard down and one of the two standing monstrosities charges at her and delivers a vicious bite to her right shoulder. The other, likewise, charges at Vorin, swings one of its clawed digits, and tears across the techpriest's chest. Erian manages to drag himself behind the cover of the Aquila were the gunner is waiting with a first aid kit. Helena and Asanti, apparently cursed with the luck Abaddon, both miss again despite their best efforts. Vorin, however, calmly raises his las weapon and shoots the beast that has just wounded him in the head at point blank range, which causes a truly face melting display of the Machine Spirit's power, upon which the foul mutant falls to terra, his flesh still aflame.

Quirt holsters his brain stained club and picks up his still loaded shotgun. Moving around the truck the mutants came in on, he takes aim at the leader.


OCC: Summery, I got my stuff and moved so the leader isn't in cover for my gun.

[Verruckt]

((ooc: can we try to take the leader alive, i'd like someone to torture so I can take out my frustration on horrifically bad aim))

"take him alive!" Helene shouts, letting a another burst rip from her gun towards the remaining assailant.

Anyone who is listening very closely might catch, at this point, the fact that Asanti is mumbling to himself as he aims the rifle. One more shot, that's all he has before reload. Well, make it count.

Guide the aim of your servant, that he might see his target with eyes unclouded. Anshera herun a golo.

That last bit was probably the tribal language.

Vorin looks down at his wound, and then back up. Aiming his carbine at another of the monstrosities Vorin intones a prayer to the Machine God as he fires once more, blessing the Machine Spirit of his holy weapon even as he fires.
