Amy grabs her rifle, swinging open the door and going to lean out, before noticing the Muscle Car Crew on the right.    "Oh f­uck, yes.  Hope that beauty survives this."   She says, mostly in awe, before readying the gun and leveling it at the gunner.    She leans against the doorway slightly, then fires.    "Why do they have awesome cars..."

Seb carefully followed the instructions, his nimble claws darting back and forth slotting the bottles of fluid into their matching places on the flamethrower and giving it a gentle shake to ensure a proper mix in the ignition chamber, but he didn't turn the crank just yet.  After he double-checked that he'd followed the procedures as written, he quickly looked around at the equipment strewn about the cabin trying to locate some type of eye protection as weapons fire erupted around him.  He'd rather keep his eyesight in proper working order.

[[Sorry I was basically sick all today, feeling a bit better.]]

Deliverance Co. Seba 3. Vs The Crazies

Rush- Tom Sawyer
Code: [Select]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsKBIBJj-4M
Chalk: You hop up to the top gun, and begin to aim..... [EXCELLENT!] [DAMAGE DOUBLED!] you quickly lock your sights on the buggy raider's spear man! You squeeze off a few shots, the gun rattling your arms back, [Decent Damage]. The bullets rip through the spearman, blood spurts out of the skin the bullets tear through, he ends up falling in the back of the buggy. Buggy Raiders Health Reduced by 14!
[Browning: 47/50]

Aiming the harpoon gun at the muscle car, Drake tries to use the harpoon to rip its armor off to keep their flank form being successful.

Drake: You man the harpoons attempting to take out that Moby Speedster on its approach toward ye', [GOOD!] [+1 to damage]. AYE! The harpoon be ready for a good spearing it be, you fire it at the car and [BAD!] the harpoon can't pierce the beasties' shell. Perhaps another shot might do the trick.

Irving: Going full-auto reduces your accuracy by -3! You peak your gun out of the window, f­uck it you don't need to aim when you use full auto! Too bad I still gotta roll-to-hit for you lets see and its... [BAD!] [Damage reduced by 5!]. You pull on the trigger, the gun rattling around in your hands, bumping into the window sill and your arms! [Heavy Damage!] [Damage reduced by 5! So its actually 23!] You hear sparks shooting off outside, along with people screaming in agony before being silenced... presumably falling off the buggy. You peak outside to see the driver covered in his blood, clutching his side, the engine is shooting sparks, and most of the buggy has been riddled full of holes. Your next action will be done next turn!
[AK: 20/30]

Zaweri: [Since you're driving you'll take a -2 penalty for aiming, so your crit chance is 18]  You line up the shot, wiggling the steering wheel in order to get a clear shot! [M­OTHERFUCKER!] You actually manage to hit the damned thing! A huge explosion is set off, once the smoke finally clears you see that there is no top half left, and all the other spears have exploded with it. Towards you rolls a burning bottom half of a driver and buggy before it slowly stops, and the burning half-corpse falls out onto the burned field of crops.
[Revolver: 5/6]

Ivan: As soon as Zaweri is done firing, you squeeze between him and man the machine gun mounted outside his window. You line up a shot [Mediocre], you then spray the buggy with a quick succession of bullets! [Decent] The bullets pepper the buggy, you hit the driver several times in the chest and shoulder, he doesn't look like he's really got much life left in him; and the buggy hasn't gotten much left in it either, its leaking black smoke, sparking, and has a small patch of flame growing on it.
[Browning: 47/50]

Amy: Looking all cool like, you kick open the RV's door and lean out, leveling your AK on the gunner, dust, ash, soot, and dirt is kicking up in your face but you don't care you look too cool. [BAD!] [Damage reduced by 5!], you begin to blind fire at the gunner! [Okay] You hit the gunner in the shoulder causing him to take a -2 accuracy penalty on his next turn!
[AK: 25/30]

Seb: [Mediocre] After scouring the cabin, you find a pair of aviator shades; maybe it'll be enough to shield your eyes from the bright white light of this launcher.

Enemies Attack!

Buggy Raider: He coughs up blood and begins to wheeze in short breaths.

Muscle-Car Punks: They start to get closer, they're about a turn away from being able to crash into you! The gunner starts to fire at the RV! [YOU SUCK!] The Gunner misses every single shot. He then makes an obscene gesture at Amy, "I'll get you bit­ch!"



Enemies:

Buggy Raiders/Manned by: 1 raiders/Weapons: Explosive tipped spears/Approaching from the front

Broken Caravan

"Well there was this one time back in NeoTokyo where we basically got ran out of the poker club they had there, me and my... friend basically slipped some cards under the table. Some thug noticed and we were basically ran out of town.", he explains glancing at Missy in the rear view mirror. Missy becomes quiet as Jove talks about his adventures, shortly before he trails off. Mordecai decides to speak up, "Well there was this one back in Southern Carolina where I met a pretty young gal, said she was lost, so I told her she could come with me. She could shoot fire out of her hands, had to doctor them a bit when we got into town. Don't know if she's still there, but last I heard she's running some kinda trading post. Wouldn't hurt to stop there on the return trip back East to Deliverance Co."

Seeing the crazy shot off the back of the buggy elicits another throaty laugh from Chalk, his f-ed up voice remodulator buzzing. "Keep on comin', yellow-bellied raider bastards!" He hollers from the gun up top, before sighting in on the iron sights once again and attempting a controlled burst at the failing buggy's wheels.

"Dammit, harpoon didn't work the first time. I'll get you this time you fuckers!" Drake exclaims as he loads the harpoon gun for another shot, hoping he actually hits this time.

Seb's eyes locked onto a pair of aviators.  It'd have to do.  He grabbed them and perched them awkwardly on the bridge of his muzzle then moved towards the side door Amy was at, cranking the heating element on the way.  "Move!" he commanded, nudging Amy out of the entryway with his shoulder and braced the flamethrower against the doorframe, pulling the trigger to unleash a white-hot jet of napalm in the direction of the muscle car, aiming for the driver's cabin.  He flinches, eyes squinted in anticipation behind reflective lenses, not quite trusting their capabilities in the face of this inferno.

Irving changes his mind on grappling the buggy and tries to grapple the muscle car, "Lets see if I grapple it or die..." he mumbles.

Chalk You aim down the sights of the gun, but the ash and dust is starting to kick up over the RV, you squint to see. [BAD!] [DAMAGE -5] You quickly turn towards the general direction of the buggy and let off a quick burst, you hear metal get hit, and the sound of seat leather being pierced by gunfire! [Damage: 5]
[Browning: 44/50]

Zaweri Your hands are still trembling from that last shot, mixed with the s­hit flying into your face. [Accuracy Reduction: -3] [Okay!] You fire and manage to hit the the flaming buggy engine. [Damage: 2]
[Revolver: 4/6]

Drake You real the harpoon in and get ready to fire again. [Decent] It dings off the car's armor. [YOU FAIL TO PIERCE THE ARMOR! (ignore the -1, you got 5 instead)]

Seb You lean on the door frame, the smell of iron and napalm filling your nostrils,[Decent] You lift up DoomsDay and begin to crank it till' the pilot light at the end of the barrel sparks to life. [It took 6 Cranks] You then hold down on the lever and release a bright firey-white blast of goop at the armored car, you can feel your fur being singed from this distance! Its gunner dissolves in the napalm, screaming for dear life as he rolls off into the burnt fields of corn. The armor quickly dissolves away leaving behind the tangy metallic taste of burnt metal in the air. You can see the glowing residue slowly eating away at the car.[Damage:18]
[DoomsDay: 34/40]

Irving With all this dust you can't get a clear shot! [Bad: -1 To grapple chance] You fling it at the car and manage to hook onto the melting bit of engine block! ][You latch onto the hood of the car!]

Ivan You have a perfect shot on the driver! [PERFECT!] [DOUBLE DAMAGE] You spray the inside of the car, and gut the poor bastard that was still trying to cling to life. His guts trail out the side of the vehicle, followed by him tumbling out as his buggy collides with a small dirt mound![Damage: 12]
[Browning: 44/50]

Enemies:

Muscle-Car Punks: Regretting all life choices, one is leaning out the window and heading towards the grappling hook; it looks like he's trying to climb onto the RV!

Chalk catches sight of the muscle-car rider attempting to board the RV. "HEY! Git the hell away from our car!"" He grunts at the raider, his Magnum finding its way out of his pocket. Leaning off the Browning to take aim with the BFR, Chalk attempts to aim as best as he can to hit the man in any part of his body. With the precarious position he's in, the high-powered round is probably sure to knock him right off if it hits.
