Re: Episode 2-9

In the hallway:

Mike's vamp hearing picks up a faint whisper, not enought to pinpoint the location, but enough to get closer to the source.

He leads Aaron down the hallway in the direction of the whisper.  So far, no enemies have sprung from hiding for the duo to battle.

Conference Room:


"How noble of you my dear.  We'll be happy to oblige you.  Take the Slayer in the next room boys." the mayor says as the two SWAT vamps shift their attention from Lance to Annabelle and move to grab her.

Mike continues to track the noise...hopefully, it'd get louder as he got closer...

"Yes, by all means.  Let's go in the next room." Annabelle says, making no move to resist the two SWAT vamps.

Re: Episode 2-9

"Come on kid." one SWAT vamp as both take one of Annabelle's arms and lead her down the hall into the next room.

One maintains his hold on her left arm, while the other stands directly in front of her.  "Do us a favor girl, don't cave in too quickly.  We haven't had any fun lately. the SWAT vamp says, rearing back his right fist as he takes aim at the Slayer's mid-section.

Re: Episode 2-9

Lance takes the Slayer's distraction to his full advantage.  As soon as they reach for Anabelle, Lance unleashes his building fury.

Re: Episode 2-9

"I promise you there will be fun." Annabelle said as she reached out with her right leg, aiming for the attacking cop's groin.

CRACK! AAAAAHHHH!!!!! the SWAT vamp screamed so loud it echoed down the hallways.


"Scum sucking demon spawn!" Lance unleashes a kick to the nearest vamp while he is going after Annabelle.  Lance's kick connects, the vamp is an easy target as he releases his hold on Annabelle, stunned by the audacity of her attack, he didn't even notice Lance coming at him.


Down the hall

Mike and Aaron hear a scream echoing down the hall, and immediately run towards the sound.


OCC: New combat round. Lance and Annabelle can either stay and fight or run for it (same with Buffybot).  THE BAD GUYS HAVE INITIATIVE.  So if you choose to run, they'll get to attack before you can get out of the room, so a defense roll will be needed in either case.

Aaron and Michael are now headed towards the direction of the scream.

Re: Episode 2-9

Aaron hears the scream from the direction they were headed and now no longer needs to follow Michael's superior senses. He begins moving more quickly, ready to shoot the first cop he sees.

Re: Episode 2-9

While Mike could run faster then Aaron, he opts to match pace instead. As much as it'd be good if he found the other 3, leaving Aaron by himself is a very bad idea. Still, he'd arrive about when Aaron does.

Re: Episode 2-9

"Thanks Lance.  Now let's get the bloody hell out of here!" Annabelle shouts as she makes a run for the exit while trying not to get hit.

But the big SWAT vamp next to her had other ideas as he reaches out and grabs her right arm.  "Where do you think you're going kid?" he says as he tries for a punch to her stomach, but the Slayer manages to dodge that attack.

Lance follows the slayers lead, "Right behind you!"

Lance however makes it out the door.  One of the vamps with a taser takes aim, then hesitates, apparently not chancing a hit on his fellow vamp that currently has Annabelle.


"Let him go!  Keeping the Slayer is priority!" the mayor shouts.

Lance goes barrelling down the hallway, turns the corner, and comes to a halt as Aaron and Michael rush up to meet him.



"I got it...." She dashes towards the vamp now holding Annabelle. But she never makes it as the second SWAT vamp holding a taser rifle blasts her in the chest.
But the robot absorbs the blast and keeps coming.



 Hopefully this will buy everyone else time. "I know a couple of people that need to work on diplomacy skills." The SWAT vamp dodged her takedown attempt as he maintained his hold on the slayer.

"You two watch the entrance.  I think we're going to have company soon." the chief shouts at the two vamp with taser rifles.


OCC:Combat thread time for everybody. THE BAD GUYS HAVE INITIATIVE. Mayor, Chief, and three SWAT vamps ready for action, one of which has Annabelle by the right arm. One SWAT vamp on the floor holding his groin.

Re: Episode 2-9

Lance sees the the guys ahead of him as he rushed forward.  After two or three steps he realizes the others didn't follow.  He wonders if he should keep going then he notices the rifle that Aaron has and keeps going. "Mind if I borrow that Aaron?"


"We're going in. Yeah, Aaron, give him the taser. Lance, aim for where the armor isn't, or you'll waste the shot.

In case you're wondering why we have to go back, vampires get much, much stronger for feeding off the blood of a Slayer. We probably shouldn't give them the opportunity.

And we can't forsake Annabelle in any event."

He's less worried about the bot, but he's gotta get Annabelle out of there.


Aaron quickly pulls the sling over his shoulder and tosses the taser rifle to Lance. "Take it. No good to me." Then his hand is back on the sting of his bow ready to take his shot.


"And now for my Walker, Texas Ranger impression" said the SWAT vamp holding Annabelle.  He aimed an impressive high kick at Buffybot and missed due to the robot's near flawless dodge.


"I'll be leaving now, if I may just borrow this." Annabelle said, reaching with her free arm to grab the baton off the SWAT vamp's belt but failed as he avoided her grab attempt.  "You don't want to do that kid, taking an officer's equipment is a jailable offense."

Mike ran in...alert to possible attacks, which was good because one of the SWAT vamps was waiting by the door and tried to club Mike with butt of his taser rifle as he ran in.  Mike avoid the attack...barely, he felt a breeze from the swing.

He then grabbed for the SWAT vamp pestering Annabelle and successfully tossed him into the wild blue yonder or rather the other side of the room (freeing Annabelle from his grasp in the process) as he crashed into the book case and hit the floor.

"Annabelle, MOVE!"

He could tell these guys were very old and strong for lieutenants. In other places, they probably would've been the masters.

Lance rushed in as well taking aim with the taser at the Chief's two legs where the swat armor would be of no use. "Hey Chief, next time I ask for a smoke I expect you to comply!"

But the Initiative agent never made it as one the other SWAT vamps by the door, dropped his own taser rifle and nailed Lance with a slam tackle.  Lance doesn't think he's ever been hit that hard as he hits the floor (but stil manages to grip his taser rifle).

Meanwhile, the SWAT vamp who was kicked in the groin by Annabelle climbs back to his feet.  "I think I'm okay now guys, and ready for some payback."

The mayor remains seated so far, with the chief standing next to him.  That haven't gotten involved.  Yet.

The chief shouts at Lance " Thanks kid! We let you go so you could lead your friends back to us, that's fast service! Get them boys! Don't let anyone escape!"

The chief adds "And boys, no snacking!  Especially on the Slayer!"

OCC: Back to the combat thread.  Bad guys have initiative again.  Lance takes 21 points of damage from the slam tackle and will begin the round on the floor at-4 penalty on defense, but he still has a hold on his taser rifle. Aaron didn't make an atack this round, we'll say he was two steps behind Mike and Lance and just made it into the room and will attack this round.

Re: Episode 2-9

Mike accurately assesses the information of the encounter, and decides now isn't a good time for a showdown.

"Sorry we can't stay. You should RSVP first next time."

Mike pulls out some smokebombs. While most of the people in the room aren't going to cough, it is going to obscure vision. He ushers the other heroes out the door, then throws the book case down between them and the bad guys. He sets it on fire, creating even more smoke, and adds some holy water in case the bad guys try to climb over.

"Let's go!"

Time to get out of dodge.

Re: Episode 2-9

You don't have to tell me twice! Annabelle shouted as she ran towards the exit, pausing just long enough to help Lance up from his prone position.

"Follow me!" she shouted, planning to lead everyone out the way she was brought in, where hopefully they would still find the SWAT van with the keys in the ignition.

Re: Episode 2-9

Aaron doesn't even have a chance to step into the room before Mike is almost literally dragging the others out and blocking the path through the door. He keeps pace with the others as they move towards the exit a wary eye on the corridor behind them in case of pursuit. "I do so love it when we improvise." His tone dry as the desert, it is impossible to tell whether the Watcher has actually made a joke or not.

Lance is more embarrassed than anything that his shot didn't even get a chance but realizes his snarky one liners and fighting spirit will have to wait for another day.  "Thanks." he says sheepishly to the ladies as they help him up.

Re: Episode 2-9

"Damn them all!  Call the fire department before City Hall burns down!"
shouts the mayor.

The chief screams after the departing heroes; "You think you can escape the Sunnydale police?!
We still outnumber you 22 to 5!!!  You can't win!!"



Out in the hallways:

The heroes successfully make it out the back entrance and find the SWAT van still parked in the back with the keys in the ignition.



OCC: You've got your getaway vehicle, now who's driving?

Re: Episode 2-9

Realizing this IS a Swat vehicle...

"That's fine. Lance, come on back here. SWAT vehicles are named such cause they have toys in back. Many such toys go boom."

Re: Episode 2-9

Aaron hits the gas pedal and takes off in the SWAT van.

Two minutes later, the SWAT van passes three fire trucks on the road, going the opposite way towards city hall, but no other police vehicles on the road so far.

Meanwhile the threesome in back of the van finds a rack full of police riles (16 points bullet damage), police pistols (12 points of bullet damage) and police batons (mini-club does 3 X strength damage, made of wood, can be carved into a stake).

In back of The Fish Tank:

Aaron hits the brakes as he parks the SWAT van behind The Fish Tank, next to the police cruiser and the military vehicle.  The group managed to make it back to their hideout before the vamps cops could get on their trail.

Re: Episode 2-9

Annabelle climbs out of the passenger seat and heads for the back of the SWAT van.

Stepping inside with the three in the back, she looks over the weapons to choose from.

She turns her nose up at the pistols and rifles, but grabs two batons.  "These will come in handy for vamp fighting, especially armored SWAT vamps."

Re: Episode 2-9

Moments later, everyone heads back inside through the back entrance of The Fish Tank, carrying whatever weapons they wished to grab from the SWAT van.

You make it to the main room when you realize you're not alone.  Three Turok-Hans are there, having wandered in during your absence.  They were no doubt attracted by the lingering scent of human blood in the room and now they've found some fresh nourishment.

The three Turoks rush forward.
