Re: Episode 2-10
The SWAT vamps opened fire.
Lance rolls to the side in a full on defensive position. "Snipers!" he yelled as hit the ground.
Aaron is already moving as he hears Lance call out, sprinting to dive behind the police car. Hopefully that will provide some protection from the snipers.
"Oh crumbs." Annabelle said as heard the warnings and turned her head in the direction of the elite SWAT vamps about to open fire, then immediately went for the nearest available cover, trying not to get shot.
BLAM! The bullet went through the air in her direction, but the Slayer was moving with such speed and grace that made a gazelle look like a tired old feeb as the bullet whizzed past her.
Before Buffybot got into position on the roof, she heard the heads up.
BLAM! The rifle struck her in the side as sparks flew out, she kept stride and made it up the stairs and up on the roof.
As soon as the bullet left his rifle, he jumped through the picture window, and chased Buffybot up the stairs and onto the roof behind her.
Mike wasn't worried about the bullets...but then, the bullets weren't for him. The big vamps weren't stupid enough to waste bullets on one of their kin. Well, probably not.
Still, he rushed forward at the two vamps, and ignoring defense (those were only bullets aimed at him), went to stake the two 'bait' vampires on his own, with a couple double staking manuever, going after the non feeding one first, and the feeding one second, since he'll be an easier target.
This also makes him the obvious target for the snipers, but also the one they couldn't do much about. The first beat cop turned in the direction of the gunshots and saw Mike charging at him. Crash! Mike jumped through that front window. THOK! FOOM! The first beat cop quickly turned to dust before he could make a move. The feeding vamp cop was still feeding (can't fight, eating)as Mike easily plunged the stake into his heart from behind. THOK! FOOM! He's dust.
Mike had little trouble dispatching the two beat cops used as bait. And finally turned to the snipers.
"Guns? No. You'll have to play with me the old fashioned way."
He beckons them to come out and play.
One had already chased Buffybot up to the roof.
But it looked like the other one was going to accept his invitation. He dropped his rifle with a THUD, then jumped through the now broken picture window as he charged towards Mike.
OCC:Back to the combat thread. Buffybot takes 22 points of damage. BAD GUYS HAVE INITIATIVE. Two elite SWAT vamps left, no sign of any others. Yet. One is on the ground about to engage Mike up close. The other has followed Buffybot up on the roof (and still has his rifle). Aaron, Lance, and Annabelle you can either help Mike with the one on the ground, or help Buffybot with the one on the roof. The SWAT vamp on the roof can be attacked with ranged weapons from the ground.
