SLA Industries - Tower Offence

Well I'll have to pass this one to get to the next so, I'll take a close look as I go by. I'll be sneaky of course, as I have no idea how the bomb is triggered.

Sneaking (4): 6, 3 + 4 = 13
Hide (4): 5, 7 + 4 = 16
Detect (4): 6, 5 + 4 = 15

Bad time for a less than spectacular sneak roll.

As you get to the door the charges go off. They're only small and you barely feel the blast, but they're enough to blow the door into the office room. Inside, behind the desks and flimsy partitions, are three guys in DarkNight armour. Two are directing their assault rifles at the doorway, one is holding some sort of device and is looking down at it. You only get a brief look at them as they open fire. Luckily for you you've made a good hide roll, so they don't know what they're shooting at, they're just hosing the doorway.

Since your dex is a good bit higher than theirs, and there's a phase or so between the door blowing and them firing, I'll let you act first.

Im going to be legging it to catch up, stopping just short of popping in front of the now open door. I was a floor below, so when do I get in on the action?

I'll jump on Kt'rr's back and ride him like a wild stallion up the stairs.
Or, like.. Run up too. Both are acceptable.

I'll follow Kt'rr.

Say a round? Arbitrary amount of time really. Unless Deject decides to stick around and get shot at, though, we can avoid bullet time.

The Shutting Downs

Again, will be following Kt'rr, impening violence will make the Stormer quite happy...

I'll check the rear (twss) and peer up the stairwell to see if there is any unwanted attention from above.

Detect: 8,9,+8 = 25

3 vs me is not a great idea. I'll head back down the stairwell a ways, and bring my AR to bear on the doorway.

I bet they have a camera around here somewhere. We have 3 DarkNight, let's give them hell.

Roman: You can't see up the stairwell without going past Deject and the Door of Raining Bullets.

Deej: There's a hail of fire spatters the wall behind the door, but you've moved back by then.

Ding! Level 13. More cubes.

Even you would not last long Eraser, let me try and get a better look.

I'll edge back up to the doorway and sneak the A/V Stalk around the corner and see if I can get a better look.

Grimmie nods to Deject and looks at Eraser, making a big gesture with his hands to symbolise an explosion.

Grimmie in a hushed voice wrote:You'd turn to stormer jam! Not tasty at all. No sir.

Can I suggest that we find a nearby floor that the lift has shown us to be clear and chance going up in it, to bypass this dodgy door now guarded by crazy gun dudes?

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 23rd, 2009, 21:12

Make a detect roll Deej.

Ding! Floor 25. More cubicles.

Detect (4): 3, 8 + 4 = 15

I think upgrading Detect from 3 to 4 was a wise investment...

We could take one of the elevators to bypass level 7; 8 seemed clear.

Deject: Your HUD motion scanner shows the three DN to be peeling off away from you, leapfroging each other. As you poke your AV stalk around the doorframe you can see them falling back towards one of the elevators, one moving at a time while the other two cover your doorway. They don't see your stalk.

Post by **Roman Totale** » November 23rd, 2009, 22:11

Assuming Deej notifies us of this, I shall rush to call the elevator that is currently not in use.

Unless these elevators are on the opposite side of the building.

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 23rd, 2009, 22:36

There are 4 of them with the stairs in the middle like the 5 face of a die.

Post by **deject** » November 23rd, 2009, 22:46

These guys must have been a recon team, they're falling back to the elevators. Bastards are trained well. I think we should try to tag them before they can get there. You guys have my back? I'm going to go full speed.

I'll also take the opportunity to quickly switch to my HEAP ammo.
