Warglory, Liberators II

[RandomLunatic]

Slip gets his second mark on the back of the other hand-no sense in someboyd missing it just because they passed on the wrong side-and then tracks down Stinky to chew the Bjartr out for the stupidity of firing on the Wild Hunt ((Sorry-he is still pissed about it.))

Stinky

Stinky sits waiting at the workbench he's been remaking grenades on. he's got one set finished and anotehr mid process. When Slip approaches he stands and salutes, moving stiffly, skin is red and burnt. He stands waiting for the oncoming ass chewing-he knew it was coming.

[Shirocco]

((It's 2, but you're running out of campaign so i'll let your good self and the rest get 3. Slip won't need a bonus one, he's loaded as it is, but still gets his 1 new.))

*Edit: Greyen went ahead and took 3 already... ah, well. It's fine now. You all joined at the Somek assault, didn't you?

*Edit: Slip has "Knowledge", which don't exist now. The skill military narrows down to whose, in this case your own is a freebee so it's Houten, Troll (no formal military but knowledge of their fighting behaviour), Nacarfi Free States (almost useless).... well there's others but they aren't in this campaign. So Troll or Houten are the real options.

[Savant]

I'd like to rebuild if I still got a spot in the game. Otherwise I can wait out this mission since I'm a slow ass poster and just join in on the next campaign if you guys are already on the move.

[Greyen]

Its too easy to dump down to 2..No more Demo Charge and Practiced Eye

[Shirocco]

((Na you're fine, take 3. And Savant, sure. Reroll away. Best be quick about it, i'm looking to move us forward tonight (in 12hrs) since most people have got their rerolls done.))

[Shirocco]

Sporadic fighting breaks out through the day. The trolls become more numerous, men making probing attacks at the dvergr encirclement but take no ground back, still tied up in a few blocks of the wealthier business area of Somek. Parties are sent out with armour support to hunt down trolls, but the great creatures are avoiding them and this is unusual. As the afternoon grows later everyone's on edge; plans to wait a few days to get a surrender are scrapped. Details on the assault are withheld till late, but everybody knows there's going to be one.

Dvergr scouts probe the enemy boundaries and are met with traps; mines, IED, hidden machine guns, snipers, flamethrowers... they cannot pierce the Houten ring. A few thousand troops remain and they still hold firm; something's up. Bets laid that the Houten surrender without a last stand are losing bets, instead tank destroyers are dug in, trenches dug and sandbagged. Late in the day singing is heard, and none know why.

"It's unsettlin'." says Lifter. Sitting amoung the ruin of a large shop watching the street, a dvergr and stolen Houten field gun sandbagged therein, the platoon are tending their gear and keeping watch. Lifter scrapes dust out of his LMG with a rag.

Durnholp's half asleep. "What is?" he mumbles. Lifter keeps cleaning. "They shoulda surrendered by now, that's what." he replys. Gardner pipes up, he's a new face. "Not to mention the singing!"

Doc Turtlemurdered
Grenades: Frag, Frag, Smoke, Phosphor

The Doc shivered slightly at the news. "They've got something up their sleeves, I know it." he commented.

He seemed... different from last night. Maybe it was the fact that he now had a black handgun-ish weapon holstered at his side, or the fact that he was now wearing a pair of glasses that he didn't have before, but he was different.

"And we'll be finding out first hand, I warrant."

The Doc produced his flask and took a drink from it.

"Wonder when we'll be thrown back into the fire?"

Poetry was a changed dwarf. His expirence in battle, and the bloodbath that was the last mission into the lands of the fae, had toughened him up considerably. He emerged from the tatooists, both arms covered in runic battle-marks. Between the tatoos, his grim visage and the battleworn state of his armor, it was obvious that he was a dangerous dverger, no longer freshfaced and bright. He set out to inspect his section, preparing for the inevitable action that was soon to come.

[RandomLunatic]

Slip pauses in mid-reload; he had been practicing with new, akwardly-shaped sickle magazines. They think they've got somethin' that'll save 'em. They're singin' ta let us know we ain't beat them yet, that they ain't scared. He grins predatorily and slams the magazine home with finality. We'll just hafta prove 'em wrong. They ain't got nothin' on Tir Na Nog.

Edit: Put in a new platoon chart.

[Shirocco]

The new faces are about to ask about Tir Na Nog when a pair of new guys come walking over. One has a great big mmg over his shoulder, the other a carbine and lots of ammo belts for the MG. Curly's with them and he leads them over to Slip.

"Found our missing pair. This's pvt. Damu," says Curly with a nod at the gunner. "...and his mate here's pvt. Squeek." he finishes. The loader nods. Damu speaks up. "Reportin' fa duty, sa. Where ya want us?"


The MMG is a pistol grip & bipod affair. It's belt fed; the gun's pretty old but practically unkillable from heat, these are assigned at company level so you're lucky to have one. Slip will need to assign them to a section or have them follow around with Command; it's also possible to leave them in Curly's charge.

[RandomLunatic]

Slip smiles broadly. An' it looks like we get ta be right in tha thick o' it! Glad ta have yas aboard, lads-ya'll answer ta Curly thar.

((PS: There are two Squeeks now.))

"Right you are, sa." says Damu. Curly accepts the job without a word. "O'er tha, two-fifty." he says, pointing the gun team to a position watching the street. They hurry over and deploy, setting up a long belt... it takes them about 6 seconds. Curly grunts. "Captain says we're movin' tanight. Buildin's 'r deathtraps. Too hard just shell it, civvies should be out by now. Can use red smoke to call it if radio's no good, or red flares for tank shelling if ours 'r in sight."

He pauses for a moment, sniffing the air, and grunts.

"Trolls 'r still dodgin' our hunters."

"Whatever happened to Gardner? I could've sworn he was here a second ago." wondered the Doc, aloud.

[Shirocco]

((Ok that'll do. I'll move it on tonight without Savant, counting him as Snake until he says otherwise.))

[RandomLunatic]

How un-trolllike of 'em, Slip observes. He condiered lighting a cigarette, but decided against it, taking a drink form his canteen instead. WHen Poetry comes up, he looks over at Speasy. Nae, not yet. Hold yer position an' be ready. That was Army life for you-hurry up and wait.

The day wears away to the sound of scattered fire and mobile arty. There's none from the Houten; their heavy guns are gone and those remaining are silent. The dvergr at least are not alone now... as Nacarfi state troops move up into the city the word spreads fast that the assault's on. A runner comes and regulars behind him to take your place, you're pulled back from the line and mustered with the rest of your company.

Orders are straightforward. Enemy's got their few blocks and are dug in, having worked like beavers all day. The reason for their stubborness has grown clear at last... useing stolen planes from the captured airstrip air scouts are sent out and the reason no supplies came from the north is at last found. The news spreads fast, even reaching the platoon as you march with the company toward the northwest, your stageing point for the assault.

"Thousands! Blinkin' thousands. Can you believe that rot?" says Rabbit. He's not the only one angry as Jinks pipes up too. "I'm tellin' ya, we shoulda pressed in this mornin'!" he says to some grunted agreement. Twitch gives Jinks a nudge and glances about. "Ours ain't ta reason why, so watch ya tongue!" Blue, another new face, offers his two cents as well. "Sun or no blasted sun, now they've got mates on the way. An' nobody knows what the trolls are up to."

"Aye sir, will do" Poetry responds. He heads over to his section, inspecting gear and making sure that everyone is ready to go at a moments notice. "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity, lads. Be on your toes and double check yer kit, I won't be tolerant of any preventable mistakes.” Poetry takes some time before the action to give his personal gear a final overview, making sure everything is in working order.

"Quiet back there! This ain't a mother's meeting! One-two, one-two!" shouts Curly from the front. The troops hush and march on.

It's a short march, maybe half an hour and you reach the staging area. The whole company's been gathered here, along with Red company and a bunch of regular & heavy infantry. Command's taking this end pretty seriously. Spread out through the streets facing the main one - some 6 lanes worth of dirt - they part to let you head up to the sandbags. A dvergr tank smoulders in the street, along with the wreckage of a Houten field gun.

Getting in place Slip's briefed by the captain, everbody hears it and the plan's simple enough. Street's got anti-tank mines and no shortage of Houten HMG cover. Shelling it has been tried, the mobile arty lacks the calibre to bring the old limestone (and occasional granite) buildings down. They have to be cleared on foot. You'll move up right (south) flank heading southeast beside the road through the buildings, with pioneers and regulars along to assist. Traps abound, move slowly, use arty freely as a pair of 105 gun-howitzers have been set up in support along with company mortars.

A shell comes whistling in as he finishes - Houten shell - to crash into the dirt behind you. The infantry keep well clear of it, captain turns to you. "Hout know we're commin'. He'll be waiting with bombs, flames and tripwire guns. Scouts copped demo charges earlier. Be soddin' careful and go quietly, i'll move up more troops behind you. G'luck."

"Aye aye, sa!"


You're lead into the buildings. Inside you find regulars holding down the first couple buildings, they've taken losses but taken the buildings anyway. "Good luck, boys!" "Watch for explodin' rats!" *laughs* "Shuttit Noseleak, ignore him boys - always a joker. Just keep eyes peeled, eh?" "Look out for petrol smell!"


((Ok guys i'm outta time, will keep going shortly. You're at the front, being lead through buildings - hostile held ones ahead, mine filled gun swept street on your left. Regulars taunting you for being flash buggers.))

I'll just continue with snake with the 3x bayonet kit

Name: Snake
Profession: Rifleman
Traits: Killer's Eyes
Kit:
Fix Bayonet - Spring bayonet, chainmail backing, inherited silver bayonet
Spring Bayonet (A spring-loaded bayonet of the finest metal rests in a sheath under the rifle barrel. Deploys bayonet as a free action, sheathing afterwards takes one turn. The blade itself is exceptional, cutting through bone like it were cardboard. Counts as a +6 Decent Melee Weapon.)
Chainmail Backing (Dvergr battle armour is good in melee, but a chainmail coat beneith stops many thrusts that would otherwise slip through the gaps. +1 melee, no effect on bullets.)
Inherited Silver Bayonet (An old family heirloom with plenty of history, you inherit this fine bayonet and have your spring bayonet system custom adapted to mount it. Can be detached in one turn. Either way it counts as a +8 decent melee weapon effective against trolls, fae and spirits.)

Perks:
Close Shot (At Close range you turn D3 shots into D2 (can’t miss) every time, even if it’s only a D3 because of modifiers. When attempting to shoot an opponent before they can melee you, you get +2 reflex on the attempt and take no penalty if you are melee’d anyway, such as by a 2nd opponent.)
Wolf Eyes (Through good eyes, open ears and a skill at gauging where people are you gain +5 awareness, along with -1shotdie when blindfiring with any weapon.)
Dog of War (An uncaring and tough mercenary, you get +2 in melee. You ignore the first -2 melee penalty & +1 shot die in wound penalties. When rendered Out of Action roll a D6 – on a 6 you get up next turn.)

Skills:
Awareness - 10
Stealth - 10
Gunsmith - 10

Snake looks lively as he ignores the taunts of the regs.

"It's ok ladies, I know you're jealous but we'll try and leave something for you to do later, maybe clean up the mess with a mop." He flashes them a smile before waving a farewell.

Leaving the regulars behind you come upon the gap between this building and the next. There's an outdoors staircase, iron stairs and quite exposed with a window in the next building about a meter away from the handrail. Conveniantly leaning against the wall beside you is a couple planks of wood, thick and long enough, with "Beware the sniper!" written on them in dvergr script. There's stairs back a bit that lead down, could be used to cross at street level, and of course a similar trick could be tried upstairs.

Sample framework stairs...

Giant issues

Giant's been sodding hopeless again lately, are you guys having trouble getting in?

If so, i'm considering moving sites next campaign.

"Aye, sa." says Curly and takes the gun team up top with 3rd in tow. Maybe half a minute later, there's a real loud bang over the road and the scream of a bullet flying by overhead... boom. A report so loud dust falls in your heads and the very building shook just slightly. Limestone breaks over the road. Silence.

"G'work, Mince." you hear hooky say quietly. Then Curly calls from up top. "In place up 'ere, sa. Sniper's gone."

Slacker grabs a board. Snake heads out first onto the steel stair level, slow and careful. He doesn't die. Moves a bit further out. Props gun on the handrail. "S'clear here. Slacker, the board." says Snake, and Slacker follows carefully with a board... there's a busted gap in the handrail facing the window and he lays the board on the steel grill floor there, it crosses to the window.

Only question now - who first.

[Shirocco]

((WTH? No posts? Game appears to have stalled. OK, moving up.))

"1st section, you're up." orders Slip.

Creeping into the next building the way appears clear at a glance. It's a hall, wooden walls for a change - like a once great room more recently converted into a range of smaller ones. The floor has bloodstains and there's lines of bulletholes in the walls... 1st section's pointman needs an awareness check.

"2nd section, on the outside stairs. Get ready to cross." orders Slip

[Britter]

With Snake on point, 1st section moves up. Poetry keeps his attention on his surroundings, ready for action.
