"soooo uneventful'
continue on hiding and killing

**halonachos**

I look over my comrade, seeing only slight wounds I continues my search of the alleyway. The metal door that slammed shut gets my attention as I begin to examine it. I look over at Kremlin, "We've already been ambushed once. This is another pssible trap. The door may be rigged or more of them may be behind the door, we must continue to pursue them, but tactics suggest the use of fragmentation grenades. Tactics also suggest that you be more cautious when dealing with a distraction.".

I continue to search the door for signs of rigged explosives.

OOC: If it saves time Mordo, feel free to reference my character as Dab. That also goes for the other RPers, it saves time so go ahead I won't get mad or anything.

Edited: 3rd to first person.
Edit to add OOC:

**Mordoskul**

Eagle, Rose, Pacify Day 1-

DAB746151 detects no explosives, and the door whooshes back open as he examines it. "Oh, that was me, with the door and all!" Says Hassan 23 cheerily, his personality beginning to seriously disturb the rest of the team. "Plugged right in to the ol' door controls!" Beyond the doorway, lies a winding maze of cooling towers, their massive plumed tops reaching nearly four miles above you.

**halonachos**

OOC: How are the towers laid out, I know you said winding maze but are they symmetrical in layout?

**Mordoskul**

Think of a computer chip; the paths of the circuits are winding, but predictable and symmetrical.

**halonachos**

OOC: Thanks.

"Hassan, I will ask you to warn us before carrying out operations in our immediate area. Suggested approach requires as much silence as possible to prevent them from running before we can surround and eliminate them."

I enter the doorway slowly and check the immediate corners before stepping to the side of the room. I continue to move with my back to the wall, sweeping my weapon back and forth across the spaces between each tower. I come to a corner and stop to wait for Kremlin or one of the phantoms, crouching against the wall and trying to blend in as well as possible.

*Six dace not sic*

**TheWildHost**

A Ghost Uncloaks and drops down from a nearby rafter.
"That was nice shooting sorry i couldn't help i followed and killed a revolting worker*Holds up an empty Shell cartridge* He was shouting something about freedom and some other Bullsh** so i put a bullet and severed his spine Slow, painful, and it will keep him quiet.*The Sniper Cracks a slight grin*

**halonachos**

OOC: I'm just going to point out a few things for you host.

1)You only have 20 points to distribute amongst your Strength, agility, toughness, will power, intelligence, and charisma. You used 22.
2) The ghost is a UN class, if you want conclave you got to be a phantom.
3) I don't think that you can just say that you killed a person, even an NPC, in this RP. Mordoskul will have to get to you on that one.

**TheWildHost**

oh i did 22 im sorry i have 4 str and 2 charisma and did they switch the ghost? cuz i think in the first it was conclave

**TheWildHost**

Ok ok i agree with three but im positive Ghost is Conclave so....

**halonachos**

OOC: Ghost is UN. If you read the conclave post it says a squad with 2 soldiers, 2 phantoms, and an engineer.

There's an edit button if you want to try to fix your character.

**blood reaper**

Kremlin follows looking for any enemy activaty with DAB746151 both keeping watch for any enemys.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Hm.. all the UN players seem to have disappeared.. and I have yet to post

. Rest assured, I will tonight.

**darksage**

Ghost is a Conclave class. There is a special exception of why my character is a ghost on the UN side, all explained in the first Lazarus. You were right on everything else. If you want to kill someone you declare that your attacking them and how. Then mordo tells you 1-10 if your withine 2 you succeed. All classes are listed on first page. That list was just saying how many players of each we had.

**Mordoskul**

Darksage is correct, as if Host. Ghost IS a Conclave class, but due to special circumstances, James is a member of the UN AND a Ghost.

**Berserksteve**

OOC I can take my character from here.

Hassin makes his way down but keeps himself synced with the system "Tell me what you need."

**Darkvoidof40k**

That is far too slow a system. Unimportant NPCs that exist only to die should be killable by players as they please - the point is to create a long and exciting story. I don't see myself being able to write 5 paragraphs of action-packed awesomeness (as I so frequently do in roleplays) if I have to wait for "permission" to kill anything.

Too much reliance on rules and not enough reliance on creativity and freedom.

A compramise would be better.

**TheWildHost**

OOC i do have to agree slightly with Darkvoid, because i was trying to create a point i killed the man with the Wrench who led you into the ambush, but if the GM isnt on we cant do anything? and we have like a 1/2 chance to kill ANYTHING that just isnt like i dont know a basic grunt can survive being shot at by a well trained rifleman?

My plan is to do all the rolling myself, using a Random Integer Generator. I agree with the unimportant NPC sentament, and will work within that. The game is player driven, so feel free to write out your 5 paragraphs of awesome.

**TheWildHost**

OOC:Aight forget the first post
A cloaked ghost jumps down from the rafters and Decloaks before he hist the ground."Nice Shooting"He says" Heard it from the other side of the building" he points his thumb to an industrial building." IF your going in there" looks towards the door"Mind if i come? better then shooting people in out-of work clothes rioting with wrenches and saws."

**shroud010**

i yawn looking at the newly arrived ghost. this rebellion isnt all that much trouble.
"hay you! whats your name?"

**mink580**

Addressing his fellow comrades "What is the point of getting to know one another, is we are all going to die?"

**Mortified**

"I'm Foley, and I'm the only reason we're gonna kick ass."

**halonachos**

OOC: Ghosts and Phantoms are conclave classes, that's why I got confused.

**TheWildHost**

OOC:No problem man
"hey im Six Dace, we gonna stand around and chat or go kick some a--"

**shroud010**

the point is durabilty the fact im gonna need you to die as slowly as you can so the mission can be completed. oh by the way im chimera19

**TheWildHost**

So, You want me to not only die, BUT to die slowly so the rest of the squad can complete the mission, Ill pass lets give that job to DAB

**halonachos**

I ignore the pleasant conversation going on in between Dace and chimera19 in order to carry out the mission. I proceed around the corner.

"Hassan, are there any sources of cover the rebels may use as cover in the path in front of me or perhaps any doors that they may have used?" I ask while moving in the same manner as before, back to the wall and sweeping my weapon across any and all openings.
