Depending on how Parsen evaluates his surviving goons usefulness, Tambo would depose of him too. I can edit this in if you want.

First i wanted the guy dead. Then, Parsen being Parsen, came up with yet another goofy idea. @Pyro Tell me what you think of it, I believe it's Parsen's magnum opus

Oh dear, getting out looks like it won't be easy.

Points of order, are the people themselves being scanned or are they scanning badges of some type?

Also, is there any blindspots between the Rangers with scopes and the vehicle convoy?

There are a few ways I can play this:

1. If a badge, I will need to acquire a badge.
2. If not a badge, I need to do the classic "cling to the undercarriage" action movie trope for one of the vehicles. For that to work I need to get to it unseen.

Anyone else got any better thoughts?

You'd be able to infer that everyone coming into the compound is being subject to a retinal scan from the servo skulls.

There are no blind spots per say, but you would be able to use the vehicles as cover if you were making a dash for it.

Clinging to the vehicle and going un-noticed is possible but it would be a very high difficulty (difficulty 6).

This is also a chance for the other characters to intervene as well, so let's give everyone a chance to jump into the scene if they want to and see what happens!

I'm still waiting for @Pyro to tell me what he thinks of
A) creating a distraction by giving Parsen's last goon as an offering (to rebuild the Servo Skull, turn em into or servitor or smth)
B) Making the van into a mobile bomb using the last shell as both a weight on the pedal (Wolfenstein The New Order style if you have the reference) and a bomb by strapping some tissue to the butt of the cartridge and hopefully make it into some usable exposive. Otherwise it'll just ram into the building and I'm pretty sure that also causes a distraction lol
C) Shoot the last shell somewhere?
D) Tambo's big brain may have better ideas lol

Sorry, I was a bit stuck the last days. I'll write something up. But I assume an a does not autocannon shell has not enough propellant to make a meaningful explosion.

Nonetheless, the general idea has a ring to it.

No worries good post.

We'll hopefully have the H situation wrapped up and then on to the exciting conclusion...which will be a somewhat surprise ending + set things up for further adventures if you want them!

Can Lachanal hear us now, or is he too far away? I have implied Parsen has called Markov by then but no idea if he replied or if he was actually able to send a vehicle. Maybe Lachanal would be able to provide the extract vehicle?

Btw @pyro the plan was not to blow up an entire wall or anything, just that I while we were at it, we could very much enhance the distraction by making the shell explode. And destroy evidence: we were in that van for quite a long time. But I like your plan. Just lacks the whole "getting rid of the vehicle", but maybe it could be the actual target of the Autocannon?

Sounds good. I half expect the Cogboys to blow the truck up. After what happened last night, if I were a Skitarii guard and a Truck without a driver was coming towards our main gate, followed up with an autocannon shell hitting some piece of equipment, I wouldn't ask twice and open fire on the vehicle to blow it up. Better safe then sorry.

At least that is what Tambo counts on.

Also the reason why he presighted the autocannon so that Parsens goon only has to pull the trigger. He expects the Skitarii to be quick enough to catch up with whoever pulls the trigger before they can get away, so that will sure as hell not be Tambo himself. As soon as the deed is done, he plans to blow off the goons head for good and with a little bit of luck, none of the Skitarii/Techpriests will be the wiser.

Sounds good. We'll say you guys can contact Lachanal at this point as he said he was driving back toward the compound anyway.

Just to get this right:
we have 3 Skitarii gunners. One just shot, the other two are also looking outside.
=> do the other two stand in a way that they will immediatly take aim at H? Or do they need a moment and it would be wiser to try and take out the one that already shot first?
=> did Tambo have time to aim?
=> how long would H need to get into cover?

Based on the angles of the walls you only have to deal with two skitari gunners. (The one that shot at Tambo no longer has line of site to the outside perimeter). They are about 36 meters away from Tambo and in cover (+2 defence for them). In addition, smoke from the blast makes all shooting +1 difficulty. Also Tambo has taken damage so that's an additional +1. Total difficulty=6. Tambo also may be out of wrath at this point!

But he does have time to aim!

The gunners aren't aiming at H per se but would likely fire on him if he moves into their line of site. (Unless they start taking fire from somewhere else).

@Merch. We're moving at the speed of drama here so yes, you can park close to H. We will say within running distance of him. (About 10 meters or so).

Hmm... If I'm correct I get 10 dice (6 from Ballistics + Agility + 2 from aiming and +2 from surprise). So I have a good chance to take one, but both of them seems... optimistic. What's it gonna be, Harlow? Should I try to get them both or focus on one, hoping the other doesn't kill you?

The real question is: does Parsen somehow know of his special ability to resurrect and goes "f*ck it we ball" shotgun in hand, or does he stay in character? One course of action is funnier than the other, but less believable...

More seriously though, that Ranger miss is HUGE. That trip is LIT bois

Parsen has had enough. Parsen is dying. Parsen is sad. Retweet if you want to make Parsen happy.

Or hate on Parsen because he might have just destroyed the entirety of the efforts the team had put until then.

Or laugh at Parsen because he's both Old and Hole'd. Idk.

The character Parson is just wonderful. I'm loving every bit of it.

I'll leave at this...the ending just might get even more interesting now!

Alright, good game guys!

BTW, I'm planning to move my text based GMing over to Discord. I'm going to send out another invite to the broader Dakka community early.

My hope is to build a community where people play more table top RPGs over text. I've got an easy dice roller as well that can help facilitate more games.

Yes definitely for sure. That game was a great segway to what could be a long running campaign if we want it to be. We'll see what happens.
