***ROLL 8: COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 5
Faust: 7
Vargall: 14
Backsmasher: 10





Backsmasher jumps out of the car, making angry troll sounds, and removes all of his clothes with one swift movement, rolling on top of them to smother the flames.

It works perfectly! He is now completely not-on-fire, and his equipment is undamaged. That was unexpected!







Vargall throws his last molotov, and it breaks right through the storefront, shattering on the floor inside. Screams are heard as the flames quickly spread.


The WATERSNAKE douses the whole car in a small torrential flood. It is not enough to completely extinguish the gasoline-fueled flames, but they are burning much less fiercely now. Neither Faust nor Vargall take any damage from them.


Vargall jumps out of the car and makes it to the police station door! Passerby look at the flaming, manic ork buccaneer with fear and respect for his sheer manliness.





Allie calmly notes the car catch on fire, then a burning ork and troll run out, then pretty much every single off-duty policeman in the donut store immediately pull out their guns. Hopefully the smoke should cut their line of sight!


MEANWHILE



Bright acquires an old-fashioned kneesock DIY bank robber mask, and puts a spare of old clothes in his backpack.




What will you do?

***ROLL 9: COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 6
Faust: 12
Vargall: 14
Backsmasher: 11
Bright: 12



The policemen try to exit the donut shop, but the door is blocked by the fire and smoke!



Vargall kicks the door in and shoots the closest person he can see, in this case the receptionist. The first shot misses, but the second-

Have you ever played Dead Space? Specifically, the part in which you shoot an alien in the torso and their limbs just explode all over the room in a shower of space zombie bits? That's an apt description for what just happened.

He then switches his aim to the guard nearest to the door, and hits him straight in the chest for 9P damage! The elf policeman falls backwards in a spray of blood and kevlar. Another human sitting by one of the desks receives the same treatment, and crumples off his swivel chair as he takes 9P damage.

Quickly drawing his fifth pistol, he shoots a random ork for 7P damage, then-

...You seem to have run out of guns. Better hope you're really fast at reloading!





Faust's ruse tricks no one. He can see the policemen in the shop taking aim at him with their pistols, and proceeds to run the heck away. He gets to the other side of the street before running out of breath.




Bright leaves his bike two blocks away, and, hearing gunshots, jogs over to the station. Vargall's car is on fire, as is a nearby storefront, and the crazed buccaneer is already shooting his many pistols.




Backsmasher gets to the nearest alleyway (the one right by the donut shop, as a matter of fact), then attempts to do a QUICK REDRESS MANEUVER. He succeeds, and is now in his chamsuit!

Turning on the optical camo, he takes a moment to take in the sights. He seems to have escaped the policemen's notice for the moment. Vargall is kicking in the door to the precinct and shooting randomly inside, while Faust attempts to duck and cover. Most of the passerby, noticing the fire and bullets, have already started to run away from the area.




Allie attempts to note the details of the building, but the shootout distracts her from making any extended observations. There is one set of double doors in the front, and two medium-sized armorglass windows. Otherwise, the 1-story station is dull concrete, occasionally broken by the plexiglass dome of a security camera. There should be at least one more door in the back, where the parking lot is.



What will you do?

***ROLL 9: COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 6
Faust: 8
Vargall: 11
Backsmasher: 10
Bright: 9


Elfy Cop: 9
Twitchy Cop: 8
Orky Cop: 11




Vargall kicks down the receptionist desk to act as cover, then begins reloading his pistols. He manages to get the first two prepped before running out of EX-EX rounds. Only flares from now on!

The Orky Cop runs at Vargall and takes a swing at him with a stun baton, but Vargall deftly steps away!



Backsmasher unholsters his shotgun and takes aim at the Orky Cop from almost a block away. Predictably, he misses.

He moves farther down in the alley, pushing aside some trashcans to find a disused back street, along the back of the donut shop. You could possibly use it as an escape route, if needed!


The elfy cop pulls out his pistol and shoots twice at Vargall! Both shots miss terribly.




Bright puts on his supervillain getup and huffs and puffs over to the station. He makes it to the door before running out of breath, and decides to stay in cover until he's able to act again.



Faust runs into the alley after Backsmasher, or rather, after the mostly-transparent shadow that he THINKS is probably backsmasher. Camo suits are weird. At least he's out of sight as well!


The Twitchy Cop takes a spray can from his utility belt and sprays it all over his mouth. The Twitchy Cop begins to move with superhuman speed!




Allie calmly strolls in through the front door, takes out her light pistol and double taps at the Orky Cop.

The first shot barely misses, hitting Vargall instead! Vargall takes 3P damage.

The second shot hits the ork square in the face, spraying blood all over. He screams in pain and falls to the floor, clutching his now useless eyeballs. The Orky Cop takes 7P damage and is blinded!

Allie takes a moment to survey the room. Behind the officers' desks lies a door to the Rapid Response barracks, where the gear should be kept. Other doors lead to the administrative and holding cell wings of the building.
