I was stacking up on the door, so I should be safe.

I get the feeling that smoking the place might not help much either. Well it might in my case since I have heat countermeasures.

I'd say those with explody attacks go for the extreme sides with the attacks, and probably Grimmie and I could try for the guys in the middle with the hostages?

Unless you're actually in the doorway you're safe. I can't be arsed working out COD style penetrations through walls, even though the bullets almost certainly would.

Eraser will be slumping in the doorway bleeding until his regeneration kicks in...

Not necessarily. 19 damage to the torso puts you on -1. That means you have a little internal damage and you're in a bad way. Both rounds penetrated, which is two wounds, and another wound for being at -1. Unless you're on UV or something you need to also make a PHYS roll (with the -3 for wounds) to stay conscious. Assuming you pass that you can act on phase 2. You can also take one more of those (without any damage bonuses) and still live.

Might be worth getting out of the line of fire.

Ah right, I assumed this all started after we had burst through the door. This makes more sense, actually.

In that case, on 1 im going to dive through the door. Not literally, just, you know, move quickly whilst keeping my head down. Im aiming to get through, and to one side of the door, without going too far into the room. If I can do that and drop into a kneeling position at the same time, great. If I can do all that and bring to bear on target number 3, all the better.

Erp. This is going bad fast. Since Kt'rr is heading in, I will follow him to our deaths :( and bring to bear on Enemy #2. I'll be going full auto, no messing around now.

Okay, I made some calculations. According to the sketch, enemy number 1 is standing at pixels (35,147), we should be at about (189, 398). The total distance between us is 30 meters, or determined with a quick pythagorean theorem, 294.48 pixels. Assuming that gray block from our view is the stairwell room, I can take a position behind the corner of it at (140, 368), which would take me out of the line of sight of enemies 4, 5 and 6, and into a distance of 244.68 pixels from the enemy. Incidentally, if 294.48 pixels are 30 meters, then 245.40 pixels are 25 meters which would mean I could attack number 1 with a blast attack from said half-cover. The distance I would need to move in this case would be simply 30 pixels vertically and 49 pixels horizontally unless I can run through walls. 79 pixels is exactly 8.048 meters, which I can cover in two phases. Any objections?

Well you've kind of wasted your time there because it's not to scale. However, if you want to dash around the side of the stairwell to get some cover then yeah you can do that in 2 phases.

Shall we move on to phase 2 then?

Phase 2
The two using suppressive fire continue to hose the doorway. Since they go after you lot though what happens depends on your actions.

Grimmie, FIRE THE TV MISSILES LOTS OF BULLETS.


I'm not waiting for an aim, I'm just going to shoot.

To hit:
Rifle (8) + RoF (3) - Wild Shot (3) = 4, 6 + 8 = 18

# of Rounds:
Auto/Support (5): 4, 6 + 5 = 15

so if I have the rules right that's 3 rounds hit yes? 10mm Rifle HEAP: 7 PEN, 10 DMG, 3 AD.

There's some confusion here. There's only one normal sized doorway here, and it has Eraser stood in it. However, since you brought to bear last round and I moved to phase 2 it's my fault for not clarifying at the time. So, I'll assume for now that Eraser is going to put himself out of harm's way on 1 since TSD thought he was down, allowing you two to enter and bring to bear. So does this mean you're both stopping either side of the doorway? I'll assume so since Deject didn't use movement modifiers and Joose is aiming.

So, Deject, unless you have modifiers for range and/or sights then you're correct, three rounds hit. I don't have the stats with me at the moment so I'll tell you what happens to him in a few hours once I'm on my lunch break.

At what? You're still in the stairwell, as is everyone but K'Trr and Deject. The doorway is currently clear on 2 though if you want to move out into the line of fire.
