ROLL SOMETHING: COMBAT ROLL

KICKWOMAN's Initiative is so high it is essentially impossible for Bright to act before her. Ergo, no Initiative roll.





Allie runs is and whacks Faust over the head with her first aid kit! He regains 2HP and groggily opens his eyes.





Backsmasher attempts to find a vantage point against the spirit, but the combatants are spinning and weaving far too fast for him! At least he seems to remain unnoticed.




Before bright can even attempt a grab, KICKWOMAN slams her knee into his chin, knocking him right out! Bright takes 11S damage and falls unconscious!





You all notice a large old army truck driving down the road and stopping in front of the building you're in. It then starts honking, VERY obnoxiously. Can't they see you're busy trying to fight to the death here?




---------------

KICKWOMAN notices Faust is awake once again, and waves her leg at him threateningly.

"HUMAN! THE BLACK OX HAS TROD UPON YOUR PITIFUL GUARD'S TOE. NOW I WILL CRUSH YOU UNDERFOOT UNTIL YOU KICK THE BUCKET."



What will you do?

***ROLL 21(or 22???): COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 8
Faust: 0 (UNCONSCIOUS)
Vargall: 12
Bright: 7 (UNCONSCIOUS)
Backsmasher: 9

KICKWOMAN: 37


KICKWOMAN does a running leap and butt drops at Faust! She lands straight on his left arm and RIPS IT STRAIGHT OFF WITH HER GLUTES.

Good gooly holly.

Faust takes 9P damage and has to burn an Edge to survive! Faust is Bleeding Out!




Vargall jumps through the open doorway, drawing both his shotpistols in a single motion, and-

*BOOM* *BOOM* FWOOSH

DID HE LOAD THE THINGS WITH BLOODY *FLARE* ROUNDS.

KICKWOMAN takes 1P damage and turns to face the newcomer. Did I mention the room is now on fire?




Backsmasher notices the sudden danger and does his best to move out of the line of fire, and also out of the actual fire that is now spreading across the floor. He's now in a prime position to escape through the main door if needs be.




Bright's dreams are interrupted by the sounds of gunfire and the acrid smell of chemical smoke. Can an orc not sleep in peace?




Allie pulls out her defibrillator and gives Faust a quick zap, then uses her cautery to stop the bleeding from his stump!

Oh dear. From the way he's screaming, maybe she should have done it in the opposite order.

Faust regains 3HP and is no longer unconscious!




Still groggy from essentially having just been killed, Faust attempts to rebind KICKWOMAN!

...Nothing happens. Well at least the Drain didn't kill him again!



---SECOND INITIATIVE PASS---



KICKWOMAN cartwheels back and dropkicks Vargall! He takes a footful of hurt straight to the chin and falls back, knocked out cold!

"THAT WILL TEACH YOU TO SHOOT ME FOR KICKS."


What will you do?

***ROLL 21(or 22???): COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 8
Faust: 0
Vargall: 9 (UNCONSCIOUS)
Bright: 7 (UNCONSCIOUS)
Backsmasher: 9

KICKWOMAN: 29


KICKWOMAN stands proudly among the carnage recently wrought, contemplating her choices. Probably kicking Faust until he's completely dead? Yeah, sounds like a good idea.




Vargall rolls WIL to see if he can act despite having his Stun meter filled. He rolls a critical glitch.

Vargall gags on his own saliva and begins suffocating! He can remain without oxygen for another five rolls, after which he'll begin taking cumulative damage!




Backsmasher activates his shock gloves and charges at KICKWOMAN's glutes! Not only does he miss, however, but he is spotted by the spirit!





Allie dives towards Bright, quickly hitting him with a drive-by first aid. No one is quite sure HOW Allie manages to do it in a single turn and in the middle of combat, but he regains 5hp and is no longer unconscious!

Unfortunately, she is too slow to heal two people in a single turn.




Faust takes the opportunity to run out of the room, trying to get as much distance between him and the murderous pair of legs as humanly possible. He is now standing in the hallway of Bright's building. There are several other apartments in this floor, but they're probably locked. An elevator and a fire escape seem to be the other routes available.



---SECOND INITIATIVE PASS---

KICKWOMAN spins around and slams her knee on the back of Backsmasher's neck! The troll stumbles as he takes 9S damage!

Backsmasher attempts to hit KICKWOMAN, but the spirit dodges and weaves too quickly!


---THIRD INITIATIVE PASS--

Backsmasher flails wildly in KICKWOMAN's general direction. She is unfazed, and sidesteps all the strikes.
