Ch. 76 New sheriff in town (All)

[dakota]

The shadow passed over Long quickly, he got a good look at a huge muscular man heading the same direction he was, and would be there far before him.

Before long, Long could see a sign for the base ahead. At the same time, hecould see a plume of smoke from an explosion.

*********

Jason laughed as the pursuing car nosedived hard enough that while Custer had been smart enough to belt in, the other man hit the windshield hard enough that it spiderwebbed. "Nice job. Let's get out of here."

He was about to go when a third vehicle came around and blocked between them. Howitzer stepped out just as Custer did. He waved at Jason and Alice, "Go, I got this."

Jason hesitated, then floored it. In the distance, a plume of smoke was rising towards the coast.

******
Calvin pulled ahead of the much slower HSUV, and arrived just in time as Sylwia knocked the man with the rocket launcher aside just as he fired. The rocket struck the emptied guard shack and detonated, blowing a plume of smoke into the air as it exploded.

The giant looked at the pair and grinned, "Two on one, eh? This almost makes it fair for you. This time Syl saw the blast coming, but it was directed at Paladin, not her

Strike against Calvin ( EE: Force Blast) PIPtZK5K1d20+5

*******

Calvin was barely away when another shadow passed the hover vehicle, and Kristian had to veer to avoid hitting the massive figure.

"Oh shit, mon." Kristian said as Jury blocked their path.

Jury postured, "We are Jury. You will stand down or be judged." He boomed.1d20+5

[doc]

"OK, so I'm sitting, not standing, so that counts as down." Tom began. "As for being judged - I don't know, in the last round, Simon thought I had projection and power, but needed direction. Paula, on the other hand, thinks my passion is the key to my success, so I've had time to think about it, and I think you're going to like my next song."

Tom began to sing. Badly.

"Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on."

As he did, he tried to sense any metal on Jury.

[bones0]

As Long sped down the road he checked again the GPS on Avi's location to make sure he was at the same location as the plume of smoke.

[Paladin]

Calvin tries to dodge the incoming blast.


Dodge: T5Y8qEsU1d20+7


Failing to dodge, he attempts to roll with the impact.

Roll: 1d20+3

Sylwia herself levels a hand down and blasts. She knows she has a better attack method but seeing the death at her hands once has left her shaken.

Strike - p20x0PB21d20+5

Damage if it hits - 1d4 (42 altogether)

[Mierin]

Alice half-smiles at Jason's compliment and replies quietly. "Thanks." She also nods at Custer and nods before Jason floors it and they continue toward their destination. 'I hope we get there in time to help the team.'

[dakota]

Tom could indeed sense Jury, six flat pieces of steel just below the neck of his collar. Judging by the shape, they almost felt like dog tags.

Jury hung blocking their path, looking at Tom like he had three heads, " You are given an ultimatum, and instead you mock me with song?" His eyes narrowed, before he looked at Kristian, "Is your friend disabled?"

Kristian hesitated, then smirked, "As a matter of fact mon, he is, but it does not keep him down."

"Take him home, before his mouth gets him hurt." Jury warned, before swooping away following Calvin.

Kristian looked at Tom, "You sing to him? Thank you for not trying to get me to join in." He said shaking his head as he swooped downward to the ground. "Go. Smash something, mon."

********

Calvin could barely see the blast coming before a shimmering blast struck him ( dmg A24Fe5sW10d6. Luckily he had, or it likely would have knocked him out of the air. Still, it caught him squarely despite trying to avoid it.

Sylwia's own blast hit the bigger man, but it merely glanced away. He turned to Syl and his eyes narrowed before he swung at her with a viscious backhand (Strike 1d20+5 )

*******

Long checked the GPS and saw he was indeed headed the right way, when another vehicle nearly T-boned him.

When he checked the rear view, he could see Jason wave to him, Alice in the passenger seat.

**********

Jason was pushing their luck as he and Alice sped across the city, when as they made a turn, Alice's Sixth Sense went crazy just as Jason's incredible reaction time barely prevented them from broadsiding another vehicle. Swallowing at the near miss, Jason hesitated passing, and waved when the driver happened to check the rear view, "That's one of ours, isn't it?"

**********

Over top the two vehicles, a large hover transport truck passed them not far above street level, travelling towards the base as well. Tom and Kristian also spotted it as they approached the base.10d6·1d20+5

[doc]

"Hey, it annoyed him so he would leave, so I'd say that worked." Tom shrugged. "Alright, I'll smash something, just give me a target."

[Paladin]

Calvin grunts with pain as the blast hits him in the chest. He glares at the man who shot him, then rockets at him, attempting a sonic body block.

Damage (to target): 2d4 X 10 = 60

Long screeches to a halt when within 20 feet of Avi's GPS signal. He jumps out and hurries to where the fallen teammate is.  He uses First Aid to triage the situation.

Sylwia herself attempts to dodge the assault on her person.

Dodge - HIJvXs6f1d20+8 = 22

Even if she does not succeed, "You realize not as easy to hurt. Me drop the shield and what you poke through my in...in...ghost self." She retorts before firing back.

Damage - 1d4 32 damage

Alice looks over at the car they barely avoided hitting and nods. "That's Long, he's been working with us."

[dakota]

"Yeah, I saw. Thought cops could drive better than that." Jason sputtered as they followed Long onto the base.

Long found Avi was breathing as he ran to his side and did a quick assessment. Avi was breathing, but what had happened was at first unclear until Long's hand brushed something protruding from his neck.

Jason looked at Alice, " I'll check Trevor, you check Allison." He suggested and managed three steps before grunting and swatting at something on his neck ." Shit. Shooter's still heerrrr..," he managed before collapsing to the pavement.

At the same time, the large hover truck lumbered overhead into the base, past Calvin and Sylwia tangling with....as Alice looked, was that the same guy Jason had met with? At the same time, Alice's sixth sense was going into overdrive.

*******

sylwia's avoided the powerful swat, and her blast struck enough to stagger him. "So that's how we're gonna play?" The hover truck continued overhead as the big man recovered just before Paladin speared him. It knocked the man down with a grunt. He got back to his feet before another figure joined the fray. Jury landed beside Paladin, offering him a hand to his feet. "We will handle Howitzer. Stop the others." Jury said before tackling the 7th Calvary member.

********

"Um, mon, maybe you better start with that truck?" From their vantage point, Tom and Kristian could see the lumber hover transport truck was headed over the base and directly at the retaining dyke beyond. "It plows through that and the whole base is under water." Kristian accelerated to pull along side, and as he did, the driver shot out Kristian's window, forcing him to drop back."Tom? Plan here mon?"

[doc]

"Plan? Plan?" Tom grinned. "I have to ask, do I look like the kind of guy who does plans?" Tom waved his hand as he tried to magnetically flip over the truck. "If this doesn't work, we play chicken."

[bones0]

Long pulled the dart out of Claymore's neck and then saw Firefight collapse.
"Whisper! Get to cover! There's a sniper!"
Then he grabs Claymore by the collar and bolts for the nearest cover himself. Once there he tentatively peaks out looking for likely sniper positions. There might be more than one.
