CHAPTER 8: Back to the Gam'A Zone

Silvestri

"Would anyone mind if I held on to this?" asks Kurot, holding one of the sniper rifles.

He canvases the battlefield for recoverable arrows.

Silvestri shakes his head "I don't have a problem with that, in fact I was hoping to get my hands on a firearm myself"

Bruce Lee Mk. VII

To no one in particular and hooking his thumb over his shoulder to indicate the fleeing Pigmon, Bruce says

"Should we go after them? Kurot and I can probably overtake them in short order and you guys can catch up"

"That's a good idea, we don't want them bringing more down upon us. Me and Denslow should probably stay here, we'll only slow things down and we can guard the wagon"

[Ardak2000]

Bruce Lee Mk. VII

Grabs the Pigmon pistol and some ammo from the pile of loot.

at Kurot

"Shall we?"

...and takes off at a sprint toward the fleeing Pigmon.

[greyarea]

Denslow grabs a svetlegk and adds it to his collection.

I've neither the speed nor the will to give chase. We are better off together but if you must, kill 'em all.

[Zhym]

Kurot shrugs—or does the android approximation of a shrug, anyway—and grabs some ammo before joining Bruce Lee in chase of the surviving pigmen.

[Scythius Equinus]

Frank Rock

Frank looks over the loot, checks the ammunition, and looks over the armor...

"Hunt em' down now, or face em' later, makes no difference. The butcher always gets his due.

Snatching his bottle of whiskey, he takes a belt and breathes deeply

If no one objects i need to re up my ammp supply, but i understand if others want to arm up first.

[Ardak2000]

Frank Rock

Frank looks over the loot, checks the ammunition, and looks over the armor...

"Hunt em' down now, or face em' later, makes no difference. The butcher always gets his due.

Suddenly the following is my "head" voice for Frank Rock. Thanks!

The Long Route, Day 95 out of Loge Thantos, Day 5 out of Hagalton

Bruce and Kurot grab firearms and sprint towards the three isolated pigmonn. The orks see the constructs rapidly approach and, not knowing their intent, brace for a charge while screeching, “Or-keen, Or-keen, Or-keen!!!”

[Zhym]

Kurot stops 100' from the pigmonn and fires their own sniper's rifle at them with three quick shots.

Rifle (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 19+1 = 20 (+2 if short range) [1d12] = 4
Rifle (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 2+1 = 3 (+2 if short range) [1d12] = 3
Rifle (Short/Medium range): [1d20+1] = 7+1 = 8 (+2 if short range) [1d12] = 4

I hope I got that macro right.

[Ardak2000]

Bruce Lee Mk. VII

Stops at 100' short of the Pigmon and fires twice at the nearest.

Pistol Medium Range[1d20+4] = 14+4 = 18Dam.[1d10] = 2
Pistol Medium Range[1d16+4] = 9+4 = 13Dam.[1d10] = 8

[shaidar]

While Kurot and Bruce Lee go after the pigmonn, Silvestri takes the second rifle and familiarises himself with its' function. He also takes the last bandolier of ammo.

EDIT: ammo corrected.

[quozl]

Ron will start practicing with a polearm.

The Long Route, Day 95 out of Loge Thantos, Day 5 out of Hagalton

Isolated Pigmonn, Round 1

Bruce and Kurot stop 100 yards away from the pigmonn. We are using the AD&D rules for outdoor missile weapon ranges. The values represent yards, not feet.

Bruce the synthetic fires two shots from his pistol into one of the pigmonn. (#10) Both shots from the heavy pigmonn pistol strike this wounded ork, dropping him to the ground! (DEAD!)

Kurot the android shoots three rounds at a pigmonn armed with a svetlegk (#12) One of the bullets strikes flesh, (4 pt. dmg.) enraging the ork!

The rifle Kurot grabbed had only 4 rounds left in the magazine and chamber. He grabbed a bandolier (with 9 rounds) and made haste towards the pigmonn with Bruce. Since his pace is faster than Bruce's, I'll say he checked the rifle en route and reloaded it while moving. He starts with 9 rounds in the rifle, and 4 remaining in the bandolier.

The two remaining pigmonn begin a charge towards your positions! (They make two moves each, advancing 20 yards. The round ends with the orks 80 yards away.

Combat Details:

Bruce:
Random = [1d3] = 1
1 = #10
Kurot:
Random = [1d3] = 3

[Zhym]

Kurot drops to the ground, steadies his aim, and fires three more shots at the approaching Pigmonn.

Rifle (Short/Medium range): [1d20+2] = 14+2 = 16 (+2 if short range) [1d12] = 3

The Long Route, Day 95 out of Loge Thantos, Day 5 out of Hagalton

Party actions simultaneous with Bruce and Kurot.

Belial, Denslow and Ron discuss the design and handling of the pigmonn pole arms.

Frank examines the pile of pigmonn armor and determines that the scale (+4), lamellar (+4) and chainmail (+5) will all provide better protection than his studded leather armor (+3).

Silvestri’s offer to heal wounds has not been acknowledged by any of his comrades.

Gunshots and pigmok squeals echo from the east as Bruce and Kurot engage the pigmonn stragglers.
