0055 - Recovering the OT-64 - Turn 5

1030 26 JUL 2000

=============

"Up front things looked desperate. Potato and Mitchell were up but the rest of the guys were on the ground with those savages hackin' at 'em. The showed no signs of lettin' up either, even when they were steppin' over the bodies of their friends, if you can call them that. Them dudes were just crazy, no two ways about it. What we did not know at the time was how many more of them guys were on the way. If we had, we would have probably broken contact."

At the beginning of the turn, the melee upfront is about evenly matched with five against five and wounded on both sides. There is another large group of primitives approaching and it could swing the tide.

Initiative Step 5

Actions:

• Mitchell will move to assist Griff with the primitives moving in on him

• Potato thinks that many more may be coming and decides to stop the flow with a grenade

Order of Actions:

• Mitchell (Agl 5)

• Potato (Agl 4)

Play:

Mitchell runs over and kicks Novice Polish primitive #8 lying on the ground after being knocked down last round.

[Kick Novice Polish primitive #8 – Asset Level 7 – Difficult (x1) – Target Number 7 – Roll(s): 14] - Miss. The primitive rolls out of the way in time.

Potato pulls a frag grenade from his web gear and throws it at a point just in front of Veteran Polish primitive #3. The distance is 32m (Effective Range)

[Throw grenade at the target point – Asset Level 9 – Difficult (x1) – Target Number 9 – Roll(s): 13] - Miss. The grenade goes long and to the right by three meters. It is almost where Potato wanted it to land.

Veteran Polish primitive #3 takes 15 points of concussion damage and is knocked down. Veteran Polish primitive #2 (1), Novice Polish primitive #16 (4), Novice Polish primitive #18 (1) and Novice Polish primitive #19 (3) also take damage from concussion but they are not knocked down.

Following the concussion are the fragments. Three primitives are in the primary burst radius. Veteran Polish primitive #3 takes 5 fragments (Right arm = 10, Abdomen = 10, Abdomen = 4, Right Leg = 5, Left Leg = 12, Total = 41) and is shredded by the grenade. Novice Polish primitive #16 takes 4 fragments (Right arm = 7, Chest = 4 x 2 = 8, Abdomen = 7, Right Leg = 5, Total = 27). The damage to the chest does not result in a quick kill but the primitive is knocked down. Novice Polish primitive #18 takes one fragment to the right leg for 6 and is knocked down by the combination of concussion and damage.

Six primitives are in the secondary blast radius. Novice Polish primitive #9 takes 1 fragment to the right arm for 1 point of damage. Veteran Polish primitive #2, Novice Polish primitive #12, Novice Polish primitive #19, Novice Polish primitive #20 and Novice Polish primitive #22 all take no fragments.

Play:

Veteran Polish primitive #2 advances fires three rounds from his M9 at Potato. The range is 4m (Close).

Experienced Polish primitive #4 attacks again Klasha with his club.

Klasha again attempts to block the club using her UZI but Klasha does not have Armed Martial Arts as an asset. She will have to make an unskilled check against her attribute (Strength) only.

[Block the club attack – Attribute Level 4 – Impossible (x1/4 - normally formidable but the character is unskilled +1 DIFF Mod) – Target Number 1 - Roll(s): 16] - Klasha again fails to block and loses her turn. The primitive hits Klasha in the Left Leg for 4 + 3 (STR/2) = 7 points of damage. Klasha now has a scratch wound on her left leg and is knocked down.

Note: Klasha has almost no chance to block but she had to try. She has an Agility from 4. The damage from the club is 1D6 + 3 or a minimum of 4 points of damage. Anything but a 1 would mean that she will be knocked down and lose her turn. She at least has a chance to stop the damage before she loses her turn.

Marshall fire two rounds at Experienced Polish primitive #4. The range is 15m (Close).

[Shoot at Experienced Polish primitive #4 – Asset Level 7 – Difficult (x1 – Quick shot at Close range) – Target Number 7, 5 on the second round due to recoil - Roll(s): 9, 11] - Both rounds miss.
