Mutaritari Island; Approximately 4:35 AM, 17 August, 1942


The Marine Talents of Special Services Team Four open fire on the line of Japanese Special Naval Landing Force troops rushing them.....

Rifleman Gurung mans the unfamiliar Type 92 7.7 mm Japanese Heavy Machine gun and cuts loose a pair of 10 round sprays at the middle of the SNLF line*. His first 10 rounds sail a bit high, but he muscles the weapon down and cuts the next 10 round burst straight into a pair of Japanese troops, causing them to fall in opposite directions to the sand, never to rise again. The crack of an Arisaka 6.5mm rifle shot zips past his ear, missing by inches and the sound of a ricochet as another Japanse rifle round deflects off the rocks piled up around the MG next hit his ears at about the same time the much more troubling wet thump sound of a round hitting home also reaches him. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Teddy drop to the bottom of the MG nest, but he has little time to worry about it as a quartet of SNLF troops rush forward, now closing to within about 20 yards, the gleam of the bayonets catching his attention.....

Next to Gurung, Corporal Teddy Gomez watches two thirds of the 30 round strip of 7.7mm bullets disappear and he readies another 30 round strip to slide into the action when a sharp pain in his lower left torso suddenly lances through his body and he finds himself on his back looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, slightly glowing in the pre-dawn light**.....

SGT Charlie 'Dutch' Van Horn sights down his M1 Garand at a charging Japanese soldier and he fires his semi-automatic weapon twice, hitting the man both times and allowing himself a slight grin as both shots strike center-of-mass and put his opponent down face-first and most-definitely out of the fight....permanently. He then shuffles some 5 yards to the side, awkwardly keeping his large frame low as he does so and a round of Japanese rifle fire zips past where he just was while another kicks up sand no more than an inch from his foot as he sees a pair of Japanese 'Marines' rush towards him, closing to within about 15 yards from his position.....

CPL Wade MacGyver nodded at Dutch's wise suggestion and moved away from his fellow SST 4 Talents, dropping down behind a two foot high 'hill' and putting a 5 shot burst from his Thompson into a Japanese SNLF trooper, putting him down to the ground and looking sightlessly up at the sky. This drew the attention of a pair of SNLF marines and they charged his position, both firing their Arisaka rifles as they did so. One round missed wildly into the night air while the other tore his uniform sleeve, causing a bit of a stinging pain and the irritating feeling of liquid trickling down his arm, but Wade could tell it was just a graze....

Radioman 2nd Class Fred 'Mediocre' Roker looked at the incoming line of white-clad Japanese troops with wide eyes as he kneeled down next to LTJG Boyd and pointed his new, light-weight M1 Carbine at the closest enemy he could find; a bit chagrined to find the two Marines quickly fan away to each side, leaving the two 'swabbies' right next to each other. The 'El-Tee' was likewise wild-eyed as he yelled out, "Let 'em have it men!", even a the more experienced members of the Team were already doing exactly that. He DID manage to drop a 'Nip' with a shot from his M1 Garand, so Fred thought he at least scored a point for not completely folding in a panic at the first sign of trouble. Now, he just had to do the same....

Fred took careful aim and fired off a shot from his Carbine, proud of himself for hitting his target...but also annoyed he only hit him in the leg, causing his foe to fall to the beach...but stagger back up a second later. Then Fred felt a stinging pain in his left hip as an Arisaka round clipped him, causing him to drop down on his belly and swear in pain***. Through his eyes slitted with pain, he saw a cluster of half-a-dozen Japanese troops rush towards him and the El-Tee, who somehow managed to not get hit as three or four Arisaka rifles were fired his way. A couple of the Japanese troops were dropped down by some rifle fire that suddenly came from somewhere behind and to Roker's right, but there were still 4 of them screaming and getting to within about 15 yards from his and Boyd's position....

SSGT Marvin Acme did his best to give an encouraging pep-talk to rally the 4 'regular' Marine survivors of Altierri's squad, not counting the wounded man who Corpsman Franklin was working on. Marvin made a mental note to try and work on his 'people skills' though as he could see he succeeded more in scaring them than motivating them. Not having time to worry about it, he led them towards the fight, coming up behind and to the LT's right and to the left of the MG nest. Spreading out the 'new recruits' he saw a cluster of about six rush in towards Roker and Boyd's position and another group of 4 rushing towards the MG nest, which he noted only Gurung was standing behind, no sign of Gomez. Directing the Marines to fire at will, he chose the cluster rushing towards the two sailors and aiming quickly through the scope of his Springfield Rifle, he fired and put a .30-06 round through the head of a rushing Japanese marine, ending that threat forever. The four 'regular' Marines fired at the same group of rushing SNLF troops as well, but only one managed to hit his target, but it was a great shot through the SNLF trooper's heart. In return, several shots came their way, one of them causing Acme to subconsciously flinch back as it narrowly missed while one of the 'regular' Marines was hit in the head and he dropped to the beach like a puppet with its strings cut. The battle's intensity was definitely rising as the surviving Japanese SNLF troops closed to within 25-15 yards from the various SST 4 members....


*Okay, for Gurung: the Type 92 MG uses the Heavy Weapons Skill (he has 4D in the skill) and each 'shot' fires 10 rounds in either a 'Spray' (which can hit multiple targets in a 15 foot area of effect) or a "Long Burst" at one target. Right now, you only have 10 rounds left in the Strip, then you'll have to reload it yourself as Teddy is Incapacitated (mainly as I feel bad NPC-ing an actual PC)

**Teddy is Incapacitated...he's conscious but in a bad way, he's holding a 30 round strip for the MG that Gurung could grab and load, but this would take a round

***Fred is Wounded, he'll be at -1D for all actions until treated.....he DOES have a couple of Luck Points which add +3D to all actions for 1 round....just throwing that out there!

EVERYONE: Okay, the current situation is this:...From Left to Right in a ragged line with the MG nest and Acme and company about 10 yards behind the others.... is Wade on the Far left facing off against 2 Japanese SNLF troopers at about 15 yards....they will be in melee range next round.....then Boyd and Roker facing off against 4 SNLF troops about 15 yards away who will likewise be in melee round next round......then (10 yards back) Acme and 3 'regular' Marines about 25 yards from both the 4 SNLF troops rushing towards Boyd and Roker and the 4 SNLF troops rushing the MG nest.......then the MG nest with Gurung who has 4 SNLF troops about 25 yards right in front of him......then on the Far Right, Dutch facing off against the last 2 Japanese SNFL troops about 15 yards from him....

If anyone has any questions/concerns, please let me know!

"OW!" cries Mediocre Fred. The pain in his hip sears at him like the fire of hell itself. "I'm hit! I'm hit!" The fact that it's merely a flesh wound is lost on the radioman, whose previous encounters with bullets were never this up close and personal.

"Ow!" he cries again. Trying to stay low, he rushes on all fours towards his assailants, still howling in pain. "OW! OW! Ow...wwooOOOO!" His howls start to take on a decidedly lupine tone...

Wade unsure how far from Fred I am tries to concentrate and put up a forcefield to protect Fred from further shots.

SSGT Acme

Marvin tries to rally the troops once more. "Keep it up men! Don't let them reach our boys!"

Marvin quickly swings his scope over to the MG nest and picks out another incoming target.

Dutch takes a deep, slow breath and sights the target on his left, squeezing off two shots. He then turns his attention to the right-hand target.

Mutaritari Island; Approximately 4:40 AM, 17 August, 1942


The battle in the pre-dawn darkness on the tiny atoll of Mutaritari continued to ratchet up in intensity as the Japanse SNLF troops slammed into a group of Marine Raiders and Talents of Special Services Team Four.....

On the far left end of the ragged line of Marines, CPL Wade MacGyver ignored the two Japanese troops rushing towards him and concentrated on activating his SHILED Talent, bringing forth a visible disk of energy that he placed in front of the charging and shape-changing Roker. His maneuver worked as two of the four SNLF troops the sailor was rushing fired their rifles at him and his power caused one shot to ricochet off in a random direction while the other shot tore through the Shield, but it was slowed by it so much that it barely had enough force to tear a thin cut through Roker's sleeve while doing no other harm. A moment later, Wade felt the near simultaneous blows of what felt like a sledgehammer hitting the right side of his head and the left side of his chest and a moment later he was in the sand with hazy vision that seemed to show an American Helmet with a major 'divot' in the side of it and the strange feelings of ringing in his ears and his shirt seeming to be wet and sticking to his chest. It took his suddenly foggy brain a long moment to realize that he had been shot twice....one shot hitting his helmet and miraculously not killing him while the other hit his chest. Based on the fact it was hard to think straight and he was moving really sluggishly, MacGyver knew the wound was a bad one*, even as his hand reached for and felt the comforting pistol grip of his Thompson SMG.....

RM2 Roker rushed forward, howling like a Wolf as he felt his body CHANGE into a powerful, fearsome looking form and suddenly, there was a WOLFMAN prowling about in the middle of the Pacific! One part of his brain registered the fact that he could feel/smell/taste/hear MacGyver activating his Talent and his vision noticed the outline of the Energy Shield that appeared before him and the quartet of Japanese Troops he was charging, two of them shooting at him as delicious fear suddenly flashed in their eyes. One of the shots was shunted aside by the Shield while the other broke thru, but only with enough energy left to just slightly graze his left arm, but it did nothing more than slightly sting him. Shots from behind him took out two of the troops, leaving him suddenly up close and personal with a pair of wide-eyed, screaming SNLF troops, who nonetheless still had bayonet equipped Rifles that were trying to slam into him**.....

LTJG Boyd fired his M1 Garand twice at one of the four Japanese troops in front of him and Roker even as the latter rushed forward and 'went Werewolf' and the Navy Officer was pleased to see that his shots dropped his target while some of the Marines that had come forward with Acme also managed to drop a second Japanese Marine. His peripheral vision however caught the sight of MacGyver getting shot and falling to the sand as two more Japanese troops suddenly switched away from him to rush towards his own position. The Naval Officer sighted his Rifle at these two new targets while also yelling out, "CORPSMAN! I NEED A CORPSMAN OVER HERE!"

Rifleman Gurung cut loose with the last 10 rounds of the ammo strip feeding the Type 92 Heavy Machinegun and he was pleased to see his fire cut down two of the four opponents in front of him while at the same time Activating his Armor Talent and a moment later the Gurkha soldier was covered in hard, reptilian looking scales...not a moment too soon as one of the two survivors managed to hit him with a shot from his Arisaka Rifle that left a painful bruise in his stomach that felt like a punch to the gut, but failed to penetrate skin***...

SSGT Marvin Acme directed the 3 surviving 'regular' Marine Raiders to pick targets and fire, even as he did the same thing, sighting down his Springfield at one of the two surviving Japanese Marines and firing his shot a second after the SNLF troop fired his own. Marvin's shot hit his target in the side, causing him to double over, but not fall. The Japanese Marine's shot was true and Acme was saddened/infuriated to see another of the Raiders next to him slump to the sand with a bullet to the heart. The veteran NCO ALSO suddenly noticed that no fewer than 4 separate Talent Powers had been Activated in the past few moments. Three were familiar....Fred, Wade and Gurung....the fourth was a new sensation. A light in the distance caught his attention and Marving noticed that perhaps 75 yards away on the roof of the Barracks building the SNLF troops had poured out of, an antennae was rippling with a strange bluish-white light.....

The three Marine Raiders that had come forward with SSGT Acme each chose a different target, though only two of them managed to get their shots off as the third was hit in the chest by an Arisaka Rifle and he slumped down, never to rise again. The two survivors though both managed to hit their targets, one dropping one of the quartet near Boyd and MacGyver, the other dropping one of the two survivors in front of the MG nest....

On the far right side of the line, SGT Dutch Van Horn faced off against a pair of Japanese Marines, the big Marine getting his shots off first and dropping one of the two with a pair of thirty-aught six slugs from his M1 Garand. The surviving Japanese SNLF trooper managed to put a shot into his opponent in return and Charlie grunted in pain and annoyance as the shot cracked a rib on his lower right side****....

Navy Corpsman Franklin left the Marine Raider he had Healed with his Talent on the sand, healthy but still unconscious and rushed forward as he heard his C.O. scream out for his assistance. Rushing forward, he saw a pair of Japanese SNLF troops rushing from an obviously-in-a-bad-way MacGyver towards Boyd and the sailor didn't hesitate to raise up his Trenchgun and cut loose a blast of buckshot that dropped one of the two Japanese Marines to the ground. He then rushed forward towards Wade, ignoring the last opponent while hoping 'Rain Squall' would be able to deal with him.....



*Wade is Incapacitated....he is conscious but blurry-headed, can barely move, can only croak out a few words and can MAYBE take an action but at -2D.

**Roker was Grazed (thanks to MacGyver's power)....and he is in Melee/Hand-to-Hand range with 2 Japanese troops with Rifles with Bayonets....keep in mind he IS still wounded

***Gurung is BRUISED...this means he's at -1D for all actions for just a few rounds....1d6 roll = 2...for 2 rounds, then he'll be fine

****Dutch is Wounded, he's at -1D for all future actions until treated


ALL: Okay, the situation is this: Wade on the Far left is basically bleeding on the beach with Corpsman Franklin rushing to treat him. There is one SNLF trooper between these 2 and LTJG Boyd....Boyd is attempting to deal with him.

Then there are 2 SNLF troops in hand-to-hand combat with Wolfman Roker

Acme and 2 surviving 'regular' Marines are about 20 yards from both the scrum between Roker and 2 SNLF troops and the Wounded SNLF trooper in front of the MG nest.....they are about 30 yards from the SNLF guy facing off against Boyd and the same from the guy facing off against Dutch. They are perhaps 75 yards from the Barracks Building where an Unknown Talent Power is begin utilized.

Then there is one Wounded SNLF soldier left in front (maybe 10 yards...close enough to rush and get into Melee/Hand to Hand if desired) of the MG nest containing an Armored Up Gurung.

Finally, there is one SNLF trooper 10 yards or so from Dutch.

Gurung

Gurung rushes forward, summoning his ENERGY KHUKURI Talent as he does so. (+3 WP points, this should guarantee it activates) If he reaches his target he attacks with his Khukuri once.

Wade tries to focus but cannot due to having had his bell rung. Holding his head and watching things blur and spin he tries to regain his wits.

SSGT Acme

Marvin pauses for a second at the emergence of the talent near the barracks, making note of the light.

He swings his rifle around to Dutch as the SGT's grunt indicated he was hit. Marvin scopes and fires a shot at the enemy near Dutch.

Mutaritari Island; Approximately 4:45 AM, 17 August, 1942


In the slowly brightening pre-dawn light, the battle on the tiny atoll of Mutaritari continued....

In his hazy, almost unconscious vision, CPL Wade MacGyver tried to shift his Thompson around to point at the Japanese Marine near him, but the SNLF soldier jumped over him, letting out a scream as he charged at an unseen fellow American. There was the distinctive sound of an M1 Garand being fired a moment later, the Japanese trooper hit the beach, never to rise again. Wade then saw a new vision, this time it was that of Pharmacist's Mate Carl 'Doc' Franklin, the Corpsman with the Talent Power of Healing and the last thing Wade saw before feeling bright warmth cascade thru him was the Navy Corpsman's hands glowing and the familiar 'Smell/Feel/Sound of the Power being Activated*...

In his Wolfman form, Fred 'Mediocre' Roker charged the two Japanese Special Naval Landing Force troopers, smelling the delightful scent of fear as they tried to turn their Arisaka Rifles towards him to stab him with the bayonets mounted on the end of them. He managed to slap one of them away from him, while the other's awkward lunge towards him JUST failed to slam into him. Then Roker with a fearsome snarl leaned in and chomped down with his fangs, silencing the horrified screams of terror and pain as blood and flesh filled his mouth as he tore out the Japanese Marine's throat and left him in ruins on the sandy beach next to him. The other SNLF trooper was spinning around and fell half to one knee as a Rifle shot from somewhere behind him hit him in the back of a leg. The Japanese Marine was still alive, painfully trying to rise up on his good leg and get his Rifle back pointing towards the Wolfman near him......

LTJG Boyd took a deep breath as the SNLF trooper leaped over Wade and rushed towards him and he sighted down his M1, letting the screaming enemy get to within 10 yards and filling his sights before he stroked the trigger, putting a heavy thirty-aught-six slug high into his chest and taking care of THAT threat once and for all. Letting out a sigh, the Naval officer was happy to see Franklin the Corpsman leaning down next to Wade and utilizing his Healing Talent to treat the Marine. Then Boyd suddenly felt some new Talent powers being utilized and he moved cautiously towards SSGT Acme....

Gurung, with his Armor power activated, concentrated and he brought forth a Purple Glowing Energy Blade in the form of his treasured Khukuri knife to his hand as he rushed towards the last wounded Japanese soldier who attempted to fire a shot from his Arisaka rifle, but the Gurkha soldier got to him first and swiftly decapitated him with one fearsome swing of his weapon. A moment later Lalbahadur felt a pair of unfamiliar Talent powers being activated and his armored skin suddenly felt something metallic glance off it and he looked in the distance to see a pair of Japanese SNLF troops with black armbands with some kind of numbers on them march out of the front door of the Barracks building some 50 or so yards away, split with one going left and one going right and the one on the right carrying a Sword. This trooper swung said Sword twice and with a strange glow to the weapon, the blade vanished for a moment, that was EXACTLY when he felt the attack glance off his skin; then a second slice and the same thing....the handle remained in the Japanese Marine's hands, but the blade vanished....then the blade was whole again and the Japanese Talent was kneeling down behind some cover. Gurung risked a look behind him and he saw one of the 'regular' Marines that had come forward with SSGT Acme fall to the ground, nearly sliced in two halves.....

SGT Charlie 'Dutch' Van Horn did his best to ignore his wounded and he aimed his weapon at the last Japanese SNLF trooper near him and he fired two shots from his M1 Garand Rifle, missing with the first shot and only managing a glancing shot with the second. Swearing in rage and frustration, his eyes were locked on the Japanese marine aiming down his long Arisaka and the Pennsylvanian was SURE this was going to be it when suddenly there was the crack of a Rifle shot, only it was the SNLF trooper falling to the sand and not him. Taking a deep breath of relief, Dutch looked back and saw that SSGT Marvin Acme had saved his bacon with a fine shot from his scoped Springfield Rifle and then Charlie was jolted by the sudden sensation of a couple of unfamiliar Talent Powers being activated nearby. He saw a couple of Japanese SNLF troops split and moving in opposite directions after they both emerged from the Barracks building some 60 or so yards away and he noted they each had a black armband with some white numerals on them....781, maybe? The one that moved to the left and crouched down near a tree, made a fist and threw a punch forward....as he did so a blast of yellowish-orangish light lanced out and Dutch followed the beam to where it impacted a Marine near Acme, causing him to drop to the sand and grab his chest as he hollered in pain....

SSGT Marvin Acme and the two remaining Marines near him all took aim with their Rifles at separate targets, of the two Marines, one managed to wound one of the two Japanese SNLF troops near Roker while the other missed and Marvin managed to drop the Japanese marine about to shoot Van Horn. Then Acme felt two strange new Talent Powers activate and in quick succession, both of the 'regular' marines near him dropped to the sand. One was nearly cut in half and obviously gone from this plane of existence. The other was on the ground on his back, clutching a smoking, badly burned part of his upper chest and howling in pain. Marvin looked towards the Barracks building maybe 75 yards from his position and in addition to the still glowing antennae on the roof, now he could see two SNLF troopers racing in opposite directions after having clearly come out the front door, both going for cover. One of them had a sword and was kneeling behind some scrub bushes while the other had light coalescing on his right fist as he crouched behind a tree.....


OOC: Okay, Wade is now fully healed, but will require a Round of 'Recovery' before he can take any actions....

-Charlie is Wounded and is closest to the 'Blaster Fist' Japanese Talent; perhaps 50 yards away

-Gurung is equidistant to both, perhaps 50-60 yards from both the Sword Wielder who attacked him and the Blaster. He has one more round of being affected by the Bruise.

-Acme is closer to the Sword Wielder, but not by much...maybe 60-65 yards from him and 70-75 from the Fist-blaster

-Roker has a Wounded SNLF trooper near him and is closer to the Blaster (perhaps 40 yards from him)....and is also wounded

-Dutch and Acme both have 2 rounds left in their weapons

Dutch goes flat in the sand, low-crawling at least 20' to his right before he risks a look at the opposition. When he gets to a "safe" spot, he calls up his Enhanced Hearing, trying to locate the 'Blast Fist' Talent.

'Wolfman' Roker swats the gun out of the wounded enemy's hands—not so much because it's pointed at him, but because it's in the way of his target's tasty, tasty throat. But as he closes for the kill, another scent grabs his attention: the scent of power. Roker whirls about and rushes on all fours toward the source of that power.

SSGT Acme

The sudden and violent loss of the two last Marines caused his heart to fall, sick to his stomach. Only the raw anger allowed him to continue and swing his scope over the sword wielder hiding in some bushes.

Marvin does his best to slow his breathing and focus on the target, releasing his breath as he pulls the trigger.

Marvin will use his last force point. Trying to fire twice at the target.

Mutaritari Island; Approximately 4:50 AM, 17 August, 1942


The battle between 'Talents' of the Axis and Allies on the tiny atoll of Mutaritari in the central Pacific continued.....


Rifleman Gurung with his scale-like Armor Power and Glowing Energy Kukuri blade in his hand rushed towards the Japanese SNLF Talent with the Katana in his hands. That Japanese member of Unit 781 saw this and made a vicious horizontal slash motion with his blade, causing the entire sword blade after the guard above the handle to the tip to vanish for a moment, where it then reappeared right in front of the Gurkha's face. Gurung felt like he just got decked by a Joe Louis cross to the jaw and he staggered for a moment and then fell to the beach with his vision going double for a moment and blood sloshing around in his mouth*.....

'Mediocre' Fred Roker, now a Wolfman on the prowl, swatted the Arisaka Rifle of the wounded SNLF soldier right in front of him out of the way, though not entirely out of the Japanese trooper's grip and then rushed towards the 'Blast-Fist' enemy Talent some 40 or so yards away. He gained speed by dropping his arms to the ground and running on all fours, his mouth watering at the idea of ripping into such a juicy target. Looking at the SNLF Talent in front of him, he could tell he had just launched a blast of light towards a target somewhere behind Roker. Then suddenly the Japanese trooper noticed the Wolfman nearly upon him and the fear in the eyes and mouth dropping in shock and horror were IMMENSELY satisfying to the American sailor......

SSGT Marvin Acme took a deep breath, gritted his teeth in anger at the Japanese Supers taking out his fellow Marines and with deliberate aim, he fired a shot from his Springfield 1903 Rifle, worked the bolt and fired again, sending a pair of heavy thirty aught six slugs downrange and smashing into the Sword-Wielding Japanese Talent who had just made a slashing motion with said weapon and now crumpled to the ground, blade dropping from suddenly limp hands. Acme had time to register for a moment that his Rifle was dry and then a burning pain slammed into his left shoulder and he hissed at the sudden pain that felt like a spear of fire just slammed into. his shoulder and he knew that the OTHER Japanese Talent had just hit him with an Energy Blast***.....

Charlie 'Dutch' Van Horn dropped to the band and belly-crawled towards some cover where he then closed his eyes and called upon his 'Telescopic Hearing' Power, which quickly activated**** and he was able to funnel the sound to where the 'Blast Fist' Japanese Talent was, perhaps 25 yards away, just 'fired' his Talent and then the familiar 'sound' of Roker's Talent as he got REAL close, perhaps 10 yards or less from said Japanese Talent.....

Wade MacGyver felt as if he had just woken up from a Refreshing nap.....glancing down he saw his wounds were gone and the comforting feel of the pistol grip of his Thompson Submachinegun was still in his right hand. Shaking off the cobwebs, he suddenly remembered where he was and what the situation was and he rose up to a crouch, noticing three distinct new Talents could he heard/felt/smelled....though one quickly vanished. Looking out, he saw that maybe 50 yards away a Japanese SNLF soldier with an armband and a glowing right fist was about to be tackled/mauled by Roker in Wolfman form. Further away, perhaps 75 yards, in the barracks building, another Talent power was being used, though the Marine Corporal couldn't tell what it was being used to do....

Corpsman Carl 'Dock' Franklin was tired after using his Healing Talent Power, but he staggered over towards Acme where a wounded 'regular' Marine and a wounded Talent, Teddy Gomez, awaited his arrival. Depleted from using his Power, he reverted to the 'old fashioned' method of treating wounds with medical supplies and hands on stitching, taping, etc.

LTJG Boyd saw Roker swat the Arisaka Rifle of the wounded SNLF trooper near him out of the way so that it couldn't be used against him, but then the Wolfman charged towards the Blast-Fist SNLF Talent, leaving the wounded SNLF trooper to gather up his Rifle and take aim at the Radioman's back. Boyd took careful aim with his M1 Garand and pulled the trigger, dropping the Japanese trooper and ending one more threat forever...


*Gurung is Dazed for the next 5 rounds....next round he can't do anything except stagger to his feet, then for 4 rounds he'll be at -2D to all actions as he feels ringing in his ears, double vision, etc.

**Roker is 10 rounds from his target, Blast-Fist.

***Acme took out the Sword Wielding Talent (emptying his Rifle doing so), and then got Wounded by the Blast-Fist Talent. He is at -1D to all actions until treated.

****Dutch was able to activate the Minor Talent with his Will Power Skill of 2D (he needed to beat a 5 and rolled an 8), he could have modified this roll with an expenditure of WPs (he currently has 12)....just let me know if you'd like to do this in the future.


Everyone: The only enemy left on the Field at the moment is the Blast-Fist Talent......though all of you can 'feel' another Talent being utilized inside the Barracks Building. Roker is 10 yards from the Blast-Fist Talent, Wade is 50 yards from the Talent, Dutch is maybe 25 yards away from the Talent and Acme is perhaps 60 or so yards away from the Talent. If anyone has any questions/concerns, please let me know.

Gurung

Gurung staggers to his feet and tries to clear the cobwebs and determine what is going on around him.
