[Rifts] Between Waves of Hate

Susan

"Never put much stock in all that hocus pocus or them psychic powers m'self, but to each their own I suppose. Don't suppose you caught where the big beasty was a-coming from didja? Might could be it left some salvage if those weren't the first folks it was botherin'," says Susan with a tip of her hat to Aden.

[Strainseir]

"I kind stepped out of the rift and it was just there. Dragonskin can make great armor though." Aden said with an amused grin. So many beings cared so much for money.

[TerrickTerran]

"Splugorth like dragons too much anyways. But still, I don't like all of this noise. Something must be done."

[Gem_Knight]

"Yes, whatever has become of the neighborhood, it's like a warzone in here," Bartleby muses.
Raymiel just shakes his head, ignoring his companions warped humor. "Still, finding somewhere a little less open might not be a bad idea." He shrugs, "We have a camp not to far from here, or if you don't mind following me, I was just scouting out the surrounding area for salvage."

[Diamond Dragon]

Daniel pulls his helmet back on.
"I'll go collect that sky cycle. Can't say I've found any other useful salvage, unless someone's in desperate need of scrap metal and spent e-clips."

[Gem_Knight]

OOC: Posting a couple random rolls which will dictate what I have happen as the group heads towards camp.

Edit*

Pickings are actually pretty slim today salvage-wise. Between the whole group there's about 4 discarded standard E-clips, only one is 100% charged, the other three have only 1/3rd power remaining, there are broken pieces of assorted body armors, but all of them are badly compromised and discarded for just that reason.

About halfway back towards camp you hear weapons fire.

(Will double post in a moment for another roll >.>)

[Gem_Knight]

Not even sure if this will work >.>, just in case.

*Edit

Jay someone takes a shot at you from a distance, you can tell the direction but none of you have LoS to return fire at the moment (I suppose Susan probably could with her binoculars, but given this means you're effectively under fire >.>)

3 MDC damage to Jay.

[TerrickTerran]

"So are we camping, fighting or what?" Portia seemed annoyed just standing around more than doing anything else.

[demihappycow]

Susan

Her eyes flick to the damage to Little Jay, then in the direction the attack must have come from. Susan's beak gaps open slightly in a cephalapoidal grin. "'Bout damn tine we got some action," she says, turning on her forcefield and hunkering down on Silver, "giddyup! Let's go have some fun, hah hah!"

The robot horse under the gunslinger takes off at a breakneck pace toward shot, and Susan scans carefully for the first available target.

[Gem_Knight]

(We can't of lost half the party already have we?...)

so- more detail just to try and keep things moving >.>

In the distance, currently hidden under scruffy looking bushes, lay three Coalition Soldiers, two laying flat on the ground with riffles, the third kneeling behind them as a spotter with a C-5 Pump Pistol on hand. All I repeat- hidden- in their current position. You know the general direction the shot came from though.

[Strainseir]

((Sorry for the long wait))

Aden is needles to say surprised when the shot is fired. Since he cannot really see where it came from, Aden flies behind the octoman on the horse. IF 100mph is not fast enough he will stay as close as he can. He plans to work as a shield for the one that seems to know where everything is going.

"My powers will protect you. just show the way."

Attempting to parry any incomming shots with tk force field.

[TerrickTerran]

"Finally some action." Portia covered herself up and directed her pet to attack.

[Gem_Knight]

Raymiel shouts out, "Sniper fire!" He starts looking over the bushes the fire came from.

Detect Concealment skill check: (1d100+77)[119]
vs. (1d100+47)[107]

Bartleby Lets out a feral growl, and as he does so his body seems to expand, his fur stands up in all directions and he looks a fair bit more intimidating. He starts moving quickly in the direction of the weapons fire.

(What's Portia's 'pet' [I realize it's tattoo summon, which what- or do you only have the one?] so I can figure what happens as it moves towards the fire as well?)

[TerrickTerran]

(I believe wihtout looking it's a Dragonsaurus, though it might be a Dragondactyl. I'll check later)

Portia will send her pet first and summon her sword for now. If it looks too powerful, she'll switch to her rifle.
