With all the whispered suggesions about grenades, Eraser will take one of his Frag's out, toss it through the door and wait for the 'boom'

let's do this.

I guess I'll toss one of mine in as well then. At the same time.

Could I get a couple of throw rolls then please? Not that I'm expecting accuracy, but you may get something spectacularly good or bad.

Unskilled (-3): 5, 3 + -3 = 5

Urp.

I mean I was just kinda thinking about blindly tossing it in the room so I'm not sure how that will affect the outcome though. :(

I really should learn to throw stuff at some point lol.

Well you don't drop it on the floor at your feet, but you reckon if you were bowling you'd have put it in the gutter.

There's a brief exclamation from in the room before the grenades go off. You feel the blast through the doorway, shortly followed by a cloud of dust.

I'm switching to IR if there's too much dust, to see through with normal vision and I'm going in.

Okay then, bullet time. Although you're quite obviously here, I'll give you a free action since the room's occupants have just had two grenades to the face. Swinging into the room you see a melee of people running around in a panic towards the back of the room, the plastic sheeting offering no cover from your IR vision. Closer, near the central column, you can parts of the armoured men sticking out from behind the wreckage of some of the equipment. You'd guess one of the grenades went off close to there from the damage. Closer yet there are four Tek-Trex Buzzard drones. One is on its side, slowly spinning as it kicks its feet. The others are in the process of righting themselves. You can make a detect roll in addition to whatever else you're doing if you like (along with anyone else going into the room on phase 1).

What order are we filing down the stairs? I'm guessing Deej is first, then probably Eraser next followed by me or Grimmie. Is the stairwell wide enough for more than one at a time?

Depends who the two are. You could squeeze two down as long as one wasn't Eraser.

Detect (4): 2, 9 + 4 = 15

I'll bring to bear on the closest Buzzard.

As well as the Buzzards, you also spot a couple of spider-like Scarab drones clinging to the ceiling.

I think Eraser Should go second as he would have been able to lob a grenade over Dejects head.

So Deject First then Eraser.

Lets Bring to Bear on the Spider Drones.

Hal will bring a match to bear on a fresh cigar, whilst relaxing in his comfy car and listening in to the fun and games over comms. 8)

I think the two of you are enough to squeeze through the door in one phase, so phase 2 please. Remember that if you want Dirk and/or Grimmie to follow you you'll have to keep moving.

I am moving, moving, moving on up.
I'm wearing my IR goggles.

Before I bring to bear on something, I'm going to detect to see if any of those scarab drones are carrying grenades, as the ball-fondled dude suggested they might be.

Detect
9,9,+5 = 23

How big of an area are the Buzzards on the floor in? I might just open up the bullet hose.
