RPG - Lumper ducks for cover when the first shots are heard. He tries to see if Oliveira goes one tracking the group or heads other way, after he sees which direction he goes he will follow...

OOC - Was I able to fill in with water?
Reply: Yes.

Please see the "Tracking" thread for your present situation and simply add a few hundred metres or so to the range (or you can be on the other side and closer to the ambush site if you wish).

Gotcha.]

That's new, Ollie thinks to himself as he watches the patrol getting ready to check out the ambush. He crawls backwards until he is out of sight, then does a crouched run to where his German partner is hiding.

"Dieter," he whispers, adding hand signals to make sure he is understood. "They are going to look at the combat site. We need to move to keep their backs covered. This way."

He then proceeds to lead the German on a semicircle, aiming to intercept the patrol a few hundreds of yards further ahead, to make sure that no hidden sentry catches them off-guard.

RPG - Lumper was now quite happy to have choosen to stay with Oliveira, he couldn't help to feel that the other group was heading for a trap , and heading at full speed...

He grabbed his G-11 and made sure it was ready to fire if needed. Then he followed Oliveira.

So far so good. It appears that nobody is aware of the presence of either of you. Oliveira settles Dieter into cover and creeps forward through the underbrush to see better.
It only takes a minute or so till he can hear a voice. The problem is that it's not one of those he is familiar with, nor is it a language he understands....

OOC - Is there any chance that Lumper also listens to the voices?

Might as well. He's taking far too long to react (and I'd set this up just for him too!)

RPG- Noticing a slight wave of hand Lumper cautiously approaches Oliveira position, he then hears some voices, he tries to understand hat they are saying...

OOC - He probably is on holidays, it's a popular time in Portugal to be on holidays...

OOC: Ah, knew there had to be a reason. Should have let us know though, I was counting on him to be here for his big moment....

IC: Dieter crept slowly and as quietly as he could closer to Oliveira. He's only a few metres away when he hears a voice. Although neither of you can understand the words, Dieter feels familiar with it. It's definately in the Balto-Slavic family, but which exact language evades him.

The speaker can't be far away. They are talking very quietly, obviously in an attempt to remain undetected by the group in the kill zone of the ambush. They speak a few words and then there is silence for almost half a minute. They then speak a few more words.

OOC - Can we know how many different voices do we hear?

RPG - Lumper streaches his head trying to get a better view of whoever is speaking.

There is only one voice that can be heard.
Do you really want to stick your neck out? Olivera is far better qualified for the sneaking and peeking role...

OOC - Actually I do not, but since he is not around and I cannot play his char...

OOC: Well, since he's not looked in for a while and we really need to get moving here, I'll let you control his actions for now. I'm fairly sure that you know by now what he'd do in different situations, especially ones like this.

IC:
At Dieters urging, Olivera crawls forward through the underbrush to try and identify who might be talking and why. With his G3 rifle craddled across his forearms, it takes a few minutes to silently travel the short distance required.

With exceptional care, he slowly moves aside the last few leaves to give himself line of site to his "target". About fifty metres away and seated in a shallow depression overlooking the kill zone of the ambush, is a man dressed in Soviet army uniform and speaking quietly into a radio. He is unshaven, dirty and looks to be in his mid twenties. An AK-74 lies beside him and a map is spead across his legs. He is in excellent concealment from the road and certainly not associated with that group in any way. From the disturbance to the leaf litter around him and a few scraps of food (apple cores, etc) tossed a few metres away, it is clear that he has been there for at least several hours.

RPG -

As Oliveira I will take a good look around that guy to see if there are any signs of other people in the nearby area.

OOC - Does Oliveira has any kind of silenced weapon? Does he has a telecopic sight? What are the chances of him to obtain a hit on the first shot at this guy?

Chance of a hit on first shot: Extremely high.
Chance of first shot kill: Good if a quick shot, extremely good if called head shot.
Possession of silenced weapon: No
Telescopic sight: Yes, but on his broken M21 sniper rifle. He is "reduced" to using his G3 battle rifle.

There are signs of other people having been onsite but they do not appear to still be there. Most likely this man was left to watch the ambush site and call in mortar fire if anyone was to investigate. The main force may have then been called in to salvage what was left.

OOC - Ok, I'm a bit relutant to do this, it would be what I would do and what I think Oliveira would do. Not sure if he will appreciate it though...

RPG - As Oliveira. Since there is enough time, I would take my time to aim at the unknown inividual, when I considered that conditions were good for a shot I would fire with the G3. Straight shot aiming for the head.

A single shot rings out and the mans head virtually explodes as the heavy slug smashes into it. The lifeless body slumps over the radio.

RPG - Oliveira and Lumper will wait quietly for a minute or two to see what developments will happen now.

I appears that the main group isn't too concerned about the shot - curious but not very worried except for a few individuals.

Take your cues from "The Ambush" thread...

Declare yourself if you wish.

OOC - I was waiting for Oliveira to say something, but... If I present myself would that mean that it will blow his cover?...

I think it's safe to say his lost all right to ask you to do anything for him. A month without logging on or posting is too long...
Do as you wish. I will have to write him out of the story it seems at some point down the track.

OOC - OK, It's pointless to wait. And is also pointless for me to continue around here. I assume it's nightfall and a storm is coming right?

RPG - Lumper looks as the group down there continues to move around, and to discuss, they do that alot, they talk too much and act too few he thinks.

Now, how to appear without getting shooted at, and most importantly without losing any of the stuff I have to the group. Lumper tries to find something that resembles a white flag, If he finds it he will tie it to the end of a pole and wave it vigorously to make sure it is seen before putting his head out, He will then present himself in English as 'Feldwebel Dieter Lumper, Bundeswehr, Federal Intelligence Service'

You may begin posting in "the ambush" thread when ready to reveal yourself.
