Turn 1
Empty of bullets, Jade slings her M-16 over her shoulders.

Turn 2
Jade pulls the stun rifle out of her knapsack.

Turn 3
Jade whips up the stun rifle to point at the retreating Da Vinci and take quick aim.

While she is doing this, she is maneuvering around the room to get the best direct line of sight with Da Vinci, moving forward and around the table towards the portal opening.

All the time, she is yelling, "Get out of my way.  I'll stun the bastard!"

Turn 1
Moving quickly into the room, Shadow closes in on Da Vinci staying close to the wall.

Turn 2
Once there, Shadow attempts to grapple Da Vinci's sword arm, forcing it up behind his back.

Turn 3
Shadow applies a large amount of force to Da Vinci's arm, attempting to neutralize his only obvious weapon.

Watching him closely, Shadow prepares his focus speed in case Da Vinci should escape into the strange portal.

Re: Log 4-8

Okay, after much delay on my part (sorry, but GURPS lends itself to the details), here is what happens in the next three seconds:

8:06 p.m.
ROUND 1

Codec enters Focus Time
The werewolf enters Focus Time
The vampire enters Focus Time
Da Vinci enters Focus Time
Shadow enters Focus Time

<round 1.1>
Codec Moves away from the werewolf.
Moving quickly into the room, Shadow closes in on Da Vinci staying close to the wall.  He skirts around left behind Jade to go around the table.
The werewolf gathers itself up and steps back toward the portal, still facing out toward the party.
Da Vinci moves deeper into the portal.
The vampire begins moving toward the exit of the room.

<round 1.2>
Codec continues moving away from the werewolf.  He is now in the SE corner of the room.
Shadow is moving around the table toward the portal.
Da Vinci holds his sword up defensively and grabs the werewolf's shoulders to drag it into the portal.
The werewolf moves into the portal.
The vampire rounds the corner with his Uzi ready.

While this is going on:
Dracos lowers his pistol toward Da Vinci's knees and aims.  He yells: "SCREED! JADE! GET IN HERE!"
Jade slings her M-16 over her shoulders and successfully rolls against Fast Draw to get out the stunner.  She is maneuvering to the left inside the room so that the werewolf will not block her shot at Da Vinci.  She yells: "Get out of my way.  I'll stun the bastard!"
Screed is running toward the portal entry.

<round 1.3>
As he moves, Codec is reloading.  He snaps a magazine into his M-16.
The werewolf breaks free of Da Vinci's grip and squats to launch itself into the corner where Jade, Screed, Shadow and Dracos are moving.
Shadow is moving away from the corner and is quickly approaching the portal now.
Da Vinci lets go of the werewolf and moves back into the portal.  There are a line of white doors in a hallway through the portal, and he grabs the doorknob of a nearby door.


ROUND 2
Dracos fires at Da Vinci's knee but misses.

Screed sees the werewolf coming and ducks under the table to crawl under instead of going head to head against it.

Shadow continues to maneuver closer and is only a few feet from the portal.

Jade makes a fast draw roll and fires the stunner.  She hits Da Vinci, and he collapses into a paralytic fit, sword still held in hand.

The vampire rounds the corner, lifting his Uzi to fire.

The werewolf launches itself, but everyone except Jade has left the area.  He lands on Jade, knocking her to the ground.  (4 dmg)

Da Vinci is momentarily stunned by the rifle.

ROUND 3
Screed jumps up on the other side of the table, going into the portal at the same moment as Shadow.  They both enter the portal, and it shuts behind them.

Dracos sees the vampire round the corner and dives for cover under the table just in time.

Codec arcs fire across the room, hitting the large figure of the werewolf even as it prepared to attack Jade again.  The werewolf falls dead beside Jade, who is now severely wounded after the Uzi attack earlier.

The vampire fires, and now Codec is the only person in his line of sight.  Fortunately, the vampire did not take time to aim, and his shots go wild around Codec.

]
Shadow and Screed are now in the hallway with Da Vinci, but the portal has shut.  No one can see what is going on inside now.
Dracos, Codec, and Jade are left with the vampire standing in the doorway holding an Uzi and a dagger.  Jade is in the SW corner of the room, Codec is in the SE corner, and Dracos is near the far center where the portal had been -- but where now there is just a window looking out into the night.

Codec will aim at the vamp. and then run out of it's way/shoot and use the free action of dropping into a crouch.

Re: Log 4-8

RULES UPDATE
I got some advice on the fast draw maneuver based on the rule I posted above:

The Speed Load skill cuts the time to actually load rounds into a magazine -- putting bullets into the gun.

The Fast Draw skill (in particular, Fast Draw: Magazine) would be used for getting the magazine from your person to the gun.

So a successful roll for each of these would cut the reloading process by one second each.

Jade spins her stunner, aims for one second, and then fires at the vampire.  Assuming she makes her Fast Draw, she fires two rounds.

Stun Rifle Stats:


Weapon      Dam  OCV Rng  STR Shot Wgt TL Notes 
Stun Rifle 6d6N   +0  +3   -   20   2   9  2H, Stun Only 

See p. 119 of the Basic Manual:

GURPS:
Stunners are non-lethal sonic weapons.  They will not work in a vacuum.  Anyone hit by a hand stunner must roll HT-3 (HT at 12 yds or more) to avoid its effects.  Every 5 points of DR gives a +1 to this roll; this is the only protection armor offers.  If a limb is hit, it is incapacitated for 20 - HT minutes; on a head or body hit, the victim is unconscious for the same period of time.  A critical failure on the HT roll triples the duration.  Victims cannot be revived before this.

For stun rifles, the roll is HT - 6 (HT -3 at 300 yds or more).

Da Vinci falls into the category of being knocked unconscious by Jade's shot.

Codec exhales and blows the smoke away from his face only to have more refill in its place. He eyes the vampire with caution.
