okay, Nova, do you have some form of breathing apparatus ? same for Crispy if you are doing anything but going OUT of the nearest door.

the lights are all off, and the smoke is both toxic and thick

there's going to be hefty modifiers to visuals as well as being impossible to breathe.

depending on Longshots resistance roll there may be a message inbound, let's hold off on the action a little while we wait for him to show up.

but Glad you are enjoying the sudden excitement.

As per Nova's instruction, a little planning and such may be in order, don't forget the map I posted a while back

ask me anything

you will need to get out of here to the fresh air, the stair cases are contained but you've no way of finding yourself down there on a held breath, not without some prep at any rate

I am a little unsure what that "acrid smell" is coming from... fire? chemicals?

Or where it is... outside behind the door (so opening it is a bad idea)?

ac·rid /ˈakrid/
Adjective : Having an irritatingly strong and unpleasant taste or smell.

imagine the black smoke from burning oil, rubber and a bunch of chemicals ... it's nasty stuff that strips the tender flesh from inside your throat as you breathe.

it is coming from the stair cases and the vents and any place where a fire down stairs can escape up into this leaky old boat.

making it impossible to see and even harder to breathe, your sense of self preservation tells you to go for fresh air first and then see what you can do to get back in after

does this link help skip to 1:20 where the smoke gets thick ?
Thanee
Ok, that gives me a far better idea (was thinking fire from the explosion, but was not sure about it).

Anyways, there should be plenty time to get outside, right?

oh hell yep, the green "Emergency Exit" sign is like 5 meters from you, and Crispy is on the other side of it.

13d6.hits(5)=3 perception roll

reaction 7d6.hits(5)=3

damage resistance. ballistics correct? armor 20, body 5 25d6.hits(5)=7 edgeing that roll.... 18d6.hits(5)=7 total of 14 hit on the damage resist.

just to say, I assumed I was not near the door, I had thought more like the skirts near the wall. and whichever way you slice it, I was probably gonna get hit being down there anyway. also demolitions roll to try and figure out what kind of bomb it was based on explosion sound and the like?

EDIT: i'll update IC once I figure out if I am alive lol.

You are alive biggrin.gif yay
(but please explain how you get 20 armor ? Mil-spec ain't having no FFBA or PPP added to it)

the damage is 16P with AP -5
leaving you with 7 Stun as the armour absorbed the deadly part (Milspec 16, you may be taking an additional 4 stun damage if the maths doesn't add up on the armour)

having dodged flying debris, ducked behind a vehicle and then been slammed into the vehicle behind it. it a Longshot/truck sammich smile.gif

NEW MAP for info

it was a straight up box of C4 to straight take out the PORT side engine, the place is now full of diesel / oil smoke and thankfully your suit integrity has held so you have air supply.

on the down side, you're going to need help removing the vehicle from your face smile.gif

on the deck, you see movement ... lots of movement, things about the size of a medium dog running under the smoke but it's too dark to see and you're trapped so can't grab a torch etc.

feel free to panic in ic.gif we'll keep it to a manly panic rather than screaming like a girl kay? biggrin.gif

yup, is probably easier, but lets say you have the rifle too, cause it was more sneaking than hiding so the camo coating is not necessary

I don't think I ever explicitly said what Crispy took with him from the Humvee, so I'll go with Crispy having left the respirator in the Humvee. He's got his pistol loaded with the gel rounds Longshot gave him (+1 spare clip), FFBA (half suit), shock glove, commlink + comm gear, earbuds, and toolkits (inc. barrier foam, cleentac, c-squared). Cool ?

He's also going through that door that magically opened on it's own. That'll put us by the stairwell down I think, with all the smoke billowing up from the stairwell? We need to get downstairs though...

Do you mean, the movement is in the hold? Because if those...things...are up on deck already, Brian's joke about the heavy load in Crispy's pants might have been prophetic...

Also, on the shiphold map, what are those concentric red rings - is it the smoke effects? Can Baller be considered to be under the semi-trailer?

I would say, the two blue stars are us (I am the one closer to the point of explosion).

And Zerg is our Hummer.

On deck, yeah that seems right. But down below in the hold, there are 4 blue stars and 1 red star (Longshot). I guess the 4 blue stars are the security guards or some unknown "elements".

Zerg being our hummer makes sense, thank goodness smile.gif
Thanee
Ah, those blue stars... yeah, security guards make sense... also, the red rings being the smoke...

Bye
Thanee
phlapjack77
Cool. It looks like we can go down those stairs on the right side of the boat, and the smoke shouldn't be too much of a problem...

oh, and maybe Crispy should've said the same thing to Nova about not being freaked out, since she probably can't see him either! nyahnyah.gif
Mach_Ten
Ok yeah sorry, my skills in paint arent as good as they should be smile.gif

On the passenger deck you guys arethe blue stars, wasnt important, just to give u a clue

Downstairs, youll see the other blue dots are guards, in whatever state you find them, living or dead.

Longshot cant really see them from where he is

And the concentric rings were supposed to blast radius, BUT it works perfectly as visibilty modifiers, the closer to the bomb site the thicker the smoke pouring from the engine casings,


The boat has halted at this point and is sitting mostly stationary in the water.

ZERG is the zermax group acronym, your hummer, i'll label the truck with ZERGLING if that helps you?

Initiative: 12, 2 passes

Crispy's heading down the stairs with pistol drawn in a "tactical crouch". He intends to 1. make sure Longshot's ok and secure, and 2. Get to the ZERG-mobile and get gear out. He'll def. be on the lookout for creepy-crawlies, and hopefully Baller can help in this regard somewhat.

Ok, post up ur ic for him,

static filled images and shadows of fast moving insectile things the size of labradors running past,
vehicles crashing together and screaming guards,

no details though sorry, the things are too fast. And the dar and smoke is not helping

IC post up.

@Thanee/Raiden
I was thinking: would it be a better plan for Crispy and Nova to go to Longshot's location together, then all 3 of us get to the humvee? OR have Nova get to the humvee first while Crispy goes to help Longshot - since Nova's invisible, there's a good chance she can make it there unmolested, and maybe either there's gear in the humvee that can really help the situation, or maybe the humvee itself could help (with weapon mounted-weapons or a winch to move other vehicles or something)
Thanee
Since it is just a couple meters between those, we should check on Longshot first, yeah.

and by stuff, I mean,

you see the booted feet of a soldier vanish into the smoke cloud billowing across the ceiling.

Baller catches a glimpse of that too, but nothing more

Longshot you can pick out a shape up there to target but at -3 for visibility and size k?

Nova, You are UP !
roll me a BOD roll please, -1 for the heat and smoke, yes I know you chose the "clearer side" it's clearer but by no means clear

Same for El Crispio please, you swear you can hear elven laughter in your tacnet feed, but it's probably just a glitch

and for the sake of clarity, you are gonna get to Longshot at the end of the next Combat turn, as the boat tilts back and forth dangerously the slippery ground makes it hard going.

not going to make anyone roll agility unless you want to make athletics tests to go faster across the uneven surface
