WW2 Supers d6: SST 11: Mission Six: Anzio, The Worst has Come
Re: WW2 Supers d6: SST 11: Mission Six: Anzio, The Worst has Come
SGT Nado gives O'Reilly a quick look. He's a—well, a word his momma told him never to use—but he's also an officer, and Nado's always happy to let someone else give the orders. So he gives Heuron a look, shrugs, and moves to check out the barn.
Re: WW2 Supers d6: SST 11: Mission Six: Anzio, The Worst has Come
Dusk, 15 March, 1944; Cluster of small buildings near a crossroads, North of 'Gusville', Italy
The 'rescue the bomber crew' mission that SST 11 had been sent out on was now turning into a skirmish as the skies darkened in the small section of Italian countryside north of 'Gusville'.....
-Chisholm and NPC Hill
LT Chisholm moved forward to the House in front of him and found that while its walls and ceilings were intact enough to still make it a standing structure, significant parts of it had been blown open by artillery or perhaps an errant bomb exploding nearby and all the windows were blown out and hunks of the house itself were missing. He could easily see all the way through it and it was quickly obvious that the house was deserted. To his left, a battle between some of his Team and the blue-uniformed Italian Marines was beginning....to his right, a gunshot rang out and LT O'Riley yelled out something about 'We're Americans!', so presumably they had found a bomber crew member. Nahum's attention though was on the distance beyond the house to the road some 500 or so yards away. A vehicle with the lights on and more Italian Marines scrambling around it/out of it was to the left. A second vehicle, its lights turning off as it pulled up on the far right, stopping some 100 yards from the Italian vehicle and also about 500 yards away had dark silhouettes starting to come out of it as well. Chisholm nearly jumped out of his skin was a silent Hill moved up and whispered, "Hmmm...looks like trouble El-Tee"....
-Goodfox, Koda and NPC Battaglia:
Through his night vision goggles, Koda took in the sight of the wounded American Bomber Crew member slump against the small building and fire his .45 back at the 3 Italian Marines while a couple of their shots JUST missed and splintered some wood from the shed his back was pressed up against came falling down on him like confetti. The 1st Nations Canadian could tell the Marines were about 100 yards away at the moment and he felt/smelled/heard Fox use his Teleport Talent ability to flank them while Battaglia used his Energy Blast Power to knock one of the Italians off his feet and light up the night for a brief moment....
Luther 'Luke' Goodfox concentrated and 'activated' his Teleport Talent Power and a moment later he was 100 yards away and about 50 yards North of the 3 Italian Marines who were shooting at the poor, wounded Air Corps member who was slumped against the shed. He took aim with his M1 as he felt/heard/smelled Mark Battaglia use his Energy Blast Power to drill one of the Marines in the chest with the bolt of light. His attention was briefly caught by the sounds of yelling and running feet and glancing over, he saw that perhaps 300 yards away, more blue uniformed Italian Marines were getting out of a Truck and running forward and one of them was holding a larger weapon than the Carbines the others were carrying, though in the darkness it was difficult to see exactly what it was....
-Heuron, Nado and NPC O'Riley
Phil Heuron's world shrank down to the Barn in front of him and he concentrated on the open barn door and the slightly moving silhouette he saw inside and he raced forward to close the distance as fast as he could, one part of his brain registered the sounds of gunfire and the use of Talent Powers somewhere nearby. He saw the figure drop to one knee and point something towards him and then a moment later the unmistakable sound of a 1911 .45 pistol being fired hit his ears, as did the hornet like buzzing of a round from that weapon JUST missing his head!....
Tom Nado moved towards the barn as well, reluctantly following the orders of the as....err.....OBSERVER Officer O'Riley, though he didn't race forward as quickly as Heuron did. He saw a figure slither out of a hay pile and rise up to one knee and take aim with a pistol at his Canadian team-mate and he belatedly brought his Johnson LMG up to his shoulder to get ready to pour lead into the man when he fired and he recognized the sound of a Colt 1911 automatic firing. LUCKILY it missed Phil and a moment later an angry O'Riley was screaming something about being an American. Tom's attention was also drawn to a vehicle puling up some 500 yards away and turning off its lights. Figures were detaching themselves from it, but in the rapidly growing darkness, it was impossible to tell much about them.....
LT Colin O'Riley moved towards the barn with a couple of members of SST 11 and when the figure slithered out of the pile of hay, he narrowed his eyes and realized it was a member of the Bomber crew. As he was about to call out to the man, he fired upon the Canadian Talent, but luckily, JUST missed. Colin yelled out, "DON'T SHOOT, WE'RE AMERICAN LIKE YOU!" The figure lowered the pistol and took a few more steps forward, calling out, "You're...American? I'm Tech 4 Wallis, Radio Operator from the Sheboygan She-Devil; got shot down just a bit ago...."

Chisholm
To his men, loudly, "Gather up, we have the bad guys readying up about 500 yards out. We need to take them out quickly."
He will scan the area for a potential route they could use to give them concealment/cover to approach closer to the vehicles.

Re: WW2 Supers d6: SST 11: Mission Six: Anzio, The Worst has Come
Kado hopes the recent activity will cover him and start to rush at the shed, bobbing and weaving trying to get the wounded airman as soon as possible.
He will watch with the goggles for anyone that might take sight on him and will dive if that happenes.

"We're here to rescue you, geez!" Phil exclaims uncharacteristically, still flustered by the near-miss.
Re: WW2 Supers d6: SST 11: Mission Six: Anzio, The Worst has Come
Luke Goodfox sees the bigger force of marines unloading from the truck, and the big weapon they're carrying. Something to worry about, but at 300 yards the range was too far, would be a risky shot. He aimed his M1 Garand at the closer marines shooting at the airman.

Re: WW2 Supers d6: SST 11: Mission Six: Anzio, The Worst has Come
Nado stays low and keeps his gun's sights on the people coming out of the vehicle 500 yards away. But he holds his fire until he can be sure whether they're friend or foe.
