Sorry. Been dealing with a family emergency and the fallout from it (including depression on my part). I'll try and see if I can get back in to the groove.



Edit: With the way the 'road' is that the hoverbike and rig will be coming up on, is it blockable by the technical? Like if we either stopped on the road to block or even got on to the road and headed towards them?

Man, tough break! It's ok, we understand that your life and mental health comes first.

The road, while overgrown, used to be eastbound lanes for Confederate Interstate 10, which is pointing east to the old bed of the Mississippi. It's mainly two lanes wide going east. You are coming up a former hiking trail from the south next to a canal. (The path doesn't show in this contemporary satellite photo but it's just to the west of the canal.)

The technical will block the rig. It's probably not big enough to prevent the hoverbike from going around (and it can always jump over obstructions as well). The rig might well ram the technical, especially if it's armoured.

Thanks. I'm working through it, as is my sister.


Yeah, well, I was hoping the gun in the back would be able to stop the hoverbike, heh - but...yeah, I thought about the semi-truck just blowing through us. Hmm.

The gun in the back ought to do some damage to the hoverbike (if that's what you want to do), but it's reasonable to assume that the 'bike can jink around the obstacle presented by the technical.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 651):

The .50 will certainly annihilate the hoverbike. Or, to remind you, Rowan's hoverbike. While she would love it returned I guess she would prefer it be destroyed rather than remain in Kargo's hands. The rider, however, is naturally pretty vulnerable. Jane also has a Hellfire SAW she can use to pick him off. Or Peter can use his ACR in 5.56mm or 20mm mode to do the same thing. Actually, a 20mm API to the chest should do the trick!

Tony

Oh right. He stole the hoverbike....and Smoker's gun? Or something. Dang. So probably shouldn't just shoot the hoverbike up.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 654):

Right, he also took Smoker's Colt Python.

Tony

I'd prefer to get that back, if you don't mind.

I make no guarantees. =P

  We changed it to where Chricton was staying in the technical. Because Peter and Jane were more worried about the return fire on his position. At least I thought that was the plan in the end.

In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 658):

I see. Sorry for the confusion, if he's not climbing (etc.) then no roll is needed.

Thanks,

Tony

Sorry for the delay. I assume we are in initiative before I should post again as Peter doing anything, yes?

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 660):

Yep, I'll get initiatives up. Group 2 will arrive soon as well.

Thanks,

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 661):

Sorry for the wait! I got a little distracted but am getting back in the groove. When I get home I will make initiative draws (from the physical initiative card deck).

Thanks,

tony

Did you draw cards and post that somewhere? I saw the thought about Peter pulling out (avoiding jokes) but not sure if he is up yet.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 663):

Check the Card draw and dice roll thread pinned to the top.

In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 664):

I decided as this was a successful ambush they wouldn't react effectively (surprise cancels their turn). Peter gets 5 actions (1 base plus 1 for beating the TN5 Quickness check, plus 1 for each "raise"/multiple of 5 above the TN +10, +15, +20).

Tony

Oh man....what if that was a prisoner being forced to ride the hoverbike just in case of ambushes. That would be so evil.

Their actions are on their heads, not ours.

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 667):

Hi everyone,

I'm off on vacation for the week until next Sunday. I'll check in every few days but probably won't be able to take time to post without getting "the look". See you then!

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 668):

So I'm trying the new upgraded interface and I have to say interesting. I will likely be a little slow posting the next little bit. Life has gotten weird again. I took over my store about a week ago and it becomes official on the 7th.

In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 669):

Good luck on the store! I tried the new interface, I'll keep using the old one for now.

I've rolled for Smoker.

The turn will be a little tricky. The second vehicle will arrive on the 8th card (initiative). For those who are in the Humvee you can simply wait to take your actions until then, even if you have a higher initiative card. (Moving your initiative to later in the turn costs nothing, you just wait. Moving your initiative up, that is, moving faster, costs a sleeve card/held action.)

Tony

Sorry!  I think I missed something...  did Marcela's Humvee, in with Edgar sits, arrive?  Who was in that vehicle with me again?

In reply to Brother Edgar (msg # 671):

You guys arrive on intiative 8. Marcella, You, Trask, and Smoker in the Hummer iirc.

In reply to Brother Edgar (msg # 671):

Sorry, I did not explain that very well.

Your (Edgar's) initiative is on Queen, before you arrive on 8. To delay your turn takes 1 action, leaving you with 1.

Thanks,

Tony
