They were coming from every which direction so to Kai it really didnt matter where she aimed and which rat ended up with a cap in its ass.

Kai peered out from behind her cover and aimed at two rats that were headed straight at her and fired a burst from her rifle. "I freaking really hate rats!"

Anything over a strike of 14 struck it's target, under that deflected off whatever the rats were wearing for armor. Regardless, every hit was enough to knock the rats from the trees, either alive or dead.

The air was already full of squeals as the second line of defensive explosives began to erupt. But the blasts weren't enough to deter the horde as laser fire began to erupt wildly from the bush, setting the building afire where they didn't rip through and striking nearly everything in range.

(due to the sheer volume of returning fire, everyone include a d20 roll twice at the beginning of their next post. Anyone under 14 is struck by the sheer multitude of shots fired)

[Tori]

"We can't retreat! We still gotta buy time for the med crew!"

Tori dodged twice, with all the incoming, then she grabbed her bow and fired, twice. Ballistic arcs, landing among the thickest of the fire.

[Janxi]

"I hate it when ya say shit like dat!"

Janxi took care to dodge, then returned fire with her grenade launcher, targeting two of the biggest clusters of rats as she could lob grenades into its midst. For this, she trusted her feline ears.

[Red Fang]

She had no idea how these rats were making their way through all the traps they'd set but they were. She did her best to dodge as she tried to get out of the firing range. She rolled twice and aimed at the heaviest weapon she could see and fired another burst to suppress the weapon and its shooter.

Several of the returned shots struck the building, and a shriek came from inside. As the squad fired again, the door came open and one of the locals stood there, clearly in shock. " The patient didn't make it. A stray shot hit...," the villager was cut off as a laser blast caught him in the chest and knocked him sideways and clearly killed him. Inside anyone close could hear sobbing.

Red Fang soon knew why she hadn't heard any explosions as the rats reached the second line of defense and blasts ripped through their midst. Because of the traps detonating, the team members couldn't tell if they were making kill shots or not, except Janxi as more explosions and flying rat parts were thrown into the air. Everyone did however know that the return fire volume was reducing.

At the same time, another sound was joining the ruckus. The deep steady thrum of a low sped deisel engine somewheres on the water around the point. Some of the approaching rats were veering off towards the dock. No one could see what they were shooting at as they opened fire, but they were answered in kind by a high pitched whine that was unmistakable. The burst from the Vulcan was short but devastating as it ripped through a cluster of a dozen or so rats before the gatling style railgun went silent again.

[again roll to see if hit, 14 or higher, three rolls since they have your positions now)

[Tori]

"Shit!" Tori shouted as she tried to roll out of more incoming fire.

At that, her ears perked under her helmet. "Hey, it's reinforcements! Keep layin on tha fire! We're gonna make it!"

The little cat lobbed off two more explosive arrows in response to the fire, aiming in the directions of the densest incoming. She'd slaughter the entire company herself, if needed.

Sam is disappointed to learn the patient didn't make it, but remains determined to try to save the rest of the staff so they can evacuate. Sam continues to fire on the incoming rats, doing her best to dodge any shots that come her way.

[Janxi]

"Doc? Git yer people heated up, then git yerselves down to tha dock! There's evac fer ya to hotel alpha! (Haul ass!). Move it! Go go go!" The big cat shouted. "Ain't no savin' yer patient now, so save yerselves!"

Jan had the incoming fire to contend with and did her best to slip out of the way of her murderous rats. With the one hit she grunted and grinned. She had an ace in the hole. As she danced about, she keyed the explosive traps nearest to the rats, if any. Then she retaliated by lobbing the last grenade from her rifle into the heaviest lane of fire coming her way.

"Cac-suckers!" she screamed in a rage.

Kai knew they were screwed and just decided to duck, roll and dodge as much as possible and hope she made it through.

[lwcoyote]

The raging firestorm of laserfire forced Nike back down behind the boulders she had taken cover behind, swallowing her panic down hard. Setting aside the bow, the coyote pulls out her own rifle, double-checks the setting then pops up to provide some semi-random cover fire: mostly to try and force the rats down, rather with the intent on directly hitting one.

The calmness she'd been forcing starts to evaporate however, when th e medical building gets hit; rage begins to burn when the civilian is cut down. However, Nike does her best to remain detached and professional.

"Draw back to the docks! Sounds like we have some fire-support coming from that direction!" she calls out with a loud yap. The coyote remains down against the boulders however, waiting to see if she needs to provide cover for an orderly withdrawl or not.

(four rolls for random hits, as GM requested)
