Pfft, which one? Anyways, for my action, >Back off a little, and load my Flare Gun. "I'm gonna need a second here!

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

ROLL:

Duh102 (5) Rachel
Rachel looks around for the wounded, but fails to find any in the immediate vicinity. Dogberry is stuck under the Panther, which isn't moving, and Andrew is no-where in sight. She hears rapid gunshots from the armoury and decides that the wounded must be in there. She runs over to the armoury and, sure enough, blood trails go from holes in the dirt to Andrew's tattered pants leg. He is busy peering through a hole in the wall inside.

caekdaemon (4+1=5) Bob Jameson Jones
BJJ breaks out the Pancor Jackhammer and yells a battle-cry:
"PAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCOOOOOOOOOORR!!!! JAAAAAAAACKHAAMMER!!!"
He empties the magazine into the Dark Blur. The hammer clicks. 12 Gauge shells litter the ground. BJJ's face is still in >XD mode. He thumbs the magazine release, the drum falls and he slams another in its place. Pulling the bolt back, iron sights up, BJJ aims again at the Dark Blur and grins.

Benpasko (4) Eric
Standing back up, Eric pulls out his Flare Gun. "I'm gonna need a second here!" He loads the flare and fires, but a wave of air causes it to tumble and shoot off and an incorrect angle, and into the jungle to the left. As it passes the fence and just enters the jungle, it goes off and washes the foliage with a bright red glow and flying sparks.

wiffles (6) Dogberry
Since the power of the Heavy Railgun knocked both Dogberry and the Panther to the ground, he just reaches down his leg, unholsters the Raging Bull Revolver and fires at the Panther. The Panther, meanwhile, had re-oriented itself and leaps at Dogberry once more. The .45 Calibre round enter the head of the Panther mid-leap, killing it instantly, but momentum continues to carry it through the air and land on top of Dogberry.

FoiL (3+1=4) Andrew Rodrigues
Shoot a few round at the soldier through the wall and then try to find a missile launcher.
Andrew picks himself up off the floor, points the AA-12 directly at the wall where he thinks the soldier is, and fires. "SCREW YOOOOOOOOUUU!!!" Bits of concrete and rubble fly all around and dust hangs in the air. He manages to make a small hole in the wall and through the hole he sees ... the jungle. Through the fence. The hole is just a little smaller than his hand.

alphagamer774 (6) Tyrone
The Heavy Railgun loads its next round and Tyrone backpedals. The grounds shakes around him as the large metal feet impact the dirt, and he backs right into something big behind him. A truck. He realises he just damaged some military equipment and some soldiers start running all around from all the noise he made.

Game Events:
Everyone except Dogberry sees the flare explode in the jungle. Friendly soldiers start moving in on the Dark Blur from the direction of the garage with heavy weapons. (RPGLs, Machineguns, High-Calibre Rifles, anything else I think of ) They will start firing as soon as the group gets out of the line of fire, or the Dark Blur attacks them. Eric makes a gesture at the Dark Blur, but nobody sees it clearly to know what he did.

Game Advice:
Since you guys aren't seeing the things I'm hinting at, I'm just going to tell you instead.
1. BJJ, use those items I gave you.
2. Remember your mission!
3. Protect you teammates and discuss/coordinate actions. Hyper's RtD thread is so huge because there is discussion. Discussion also allows late players to have time to post actions.
4. Read into the descriptive text I give you in Game Events and action descriptions! It's not just flowery words, there is actually meaning and deliberate hints in there sometimes!
5. Try to find out why there are seven players instead of the previously mentioned six...
6. Use your environment to your advantage. Wall or obstacle? Cover! Unstable supports or objects? Alternate attack method! Armoury right behind you? Grab some awesome firepower!
7. Use your imaginations! This is a game after all, make your attacks and dialogue interesting!
8. Be descriptive in your actions. The description shouldn't be part of the action like this but just a comment or explanation underneath.
9. Ask questions. A thought-out action is a good action.
10. Looking around doesn't count as an action. I can post or PM you what you see.
No hard feelings. I just like to be technical and picky. Shoot me!

DRL RtD Players Google Map in conjunction with DaylightMap.com

why are there 7 players?? or am I imagining things >.<

There's actually 12 but uh

Never mind. We'll explain later :V

I had infact lost my internet for a day, and now im making my action.

This action is for the roll above...

Fallback to the Armory and keep firing the pancor, Preferably on FULL Auto.

This is action for the next roll, IF I make it to the Armory

Ask the Armory Quartermaster for some Heavy Ordinance.

is this action for the roll above? ^^^^^^^^^^

if so, edit your post, leave a gap and post next roll's action

I'm guessing by the above
> Dress Andrew's leg so that he doesn't die from a silly hole in his leg.
"Looks like I can make myself useful here, eh big boy? Hold still, this might hurt."

Oops...

So, I'm pretty sure we are now able to get a good look at this "Dark Blur", so what is it?

also, you've pretty much given away the surprise.

and that bright flash from last roll, was that my railgun? if not, what was it?

it was a railgun for certain, although it could have been both of your railguns, although that means that your mech would be scathed by the other railgun (I KEEP FORGETTING CHAR NAMES IN GENERAL!!)

but the roll didn't mention fiona's railgun, and I must have fired mine to load another round in... weird...I smell conspiracy...or short-term memory loss...

anyways, If I fire my railgun, fiona will be directly in my line of fire, and will potentially get hit, resulting in an instant kill.

Waddle (plod) around the side of the truck, holding fire until fiona (+others) is (are) safetly away, using the smashed front end of the truck to prop myself against (and potentially momentarily change my HW skill to +1/-1 while supported), aiming the railgun at whatever the dark blur is

Is this dark blur more like a Shadow?
If so My Flashlight might kill it...
