Darkness Rising - The New Batch

[CroverusRaven]

Without waiting for orders, Whump raises both fists and slams down on the doors.

[LTDave]

Wegio Wegion watched as Whump lifted his fists. No doubt one of the talky-units would reprimand the Warrior for not asking permission.

Wegio took his gladius and wiped a piece of marbit from the blade. This day's work was not yet done.

[BLANDCorporatio]

"Oh dear. We're not going in there are we? There may be an ambush waiting!"

[Werebiscuit]

Anex sighs "And that's why commanders should do the thinking and armored lunks should hit what they're told"

in a louder voice "Stand well back, everyone ! We don't even know if they open in or out yet !"

Anex scurries for cover and begins dodging

[WhirdCheese]

Fortune fires at the door if Whump fails to open it or if he does Fortune will fire at the first living thing inside the treshhold of the door.

[tigerusthegreat]

Regus readies his spear, and stands at max his spears mac rang, dodging but waiting for a chance to strike.

"wait to hit it again until we are all ready. Use the door as a chokepoint if they charge us."

Restack with everyone but the casters (who should go hide behind rocks and dodge)

[MarbitChow]

Turn (*Mumble*) - Marbit Hex (Broked Doors) - Round 0, Phase 5

Whump smashes through the doors without difficulty. They were clearly made for concealment, not defense.

Tenebris Karma : +11



Rock formations are impassible and provide a +4 Cover bonus to units standing behind them.
The rubble that used to be the doors costs 1 additional move to enter the square.
Reminder: All units (except Melissa) have 1 Overland (Hex) Move remaining. Melissa has Overland (Hex) 5 Move remaining.
None of you are currently dodging. Whump has just gone, so it is currently Phase 5.
The "foggy" area indicates that the tunnel turns, but you cannot tell what is beyond it from your current positions.

[tigerusthegreat]

Send melissa in to the curve? Put her one square uo so units can fit behind her if needed?

[Nnelg]

Dammit; it would have been much better if we'd waited until next turn. Then we could have ambushed anything that came out, and would go in with full hits. At the very least, we could have checked if they were even locked!!!

We need to form up. Get to positions on either side of the tunnel entrance. Then someone peaks around the corner and runs back to report his findings. Best-case scenario, whatever's inside will give chase, and we'll ambush it. Short of that, though, we'd still be better-prepared for what perils lie within.

[WhirdCheese]

I vote that we send Zed-2 around the corner. Hopefully he doesn't get nuked.

[tigerusthegreat]

I vote that we send Zed-2 around the corner. Hopefully he doesn't get nuked.

Might be better than using melissa

[Nnelg]

Well, it can't be just Melissa anyways. Whoever it is needs to be able to tell us what they've seen.


Speaking of which, Marbit just approved an alternative image for Melissa that looks more like her irl namesake. Hopefully it'll get in by the next update.

[LTDave]

Wegio gave Whump a big smile as the doors fell open. "Good job, Kumpel."
Turning to Regus, Wegio lays out his suggestion.
"Regus - Permission to go and stick my head round the corner? I'll be dodging. And if Zed2 stands beside, he can guard me."
He pats Whump on the shoulder. "And this magnificent fellow should come with as well."


IF Regus agrees, Wegio will move to L8 and DODGE.
And hopefully Zed2 will come with to Guard.

[LTDave]

[totally wrong thread. How'd that happen?]

[BLANDCorporatio]

{This was before Wegio's announcement}

"Wait, wait, don't I get a vote about going in there? Or several? They're all 'no'."

{After}

*whisper*"Things I do for Duty."

"I'm getting a bigger shield next chance I get. If there will be a next chance."

So then, Zed-too Guards Wegio as the trio of Whump the Smasher, Wegio the Shaker, and Zed-too the Easily Startled, prepare to investigate.

[CroverusRaven]

Whump chuckles, brushing some rubble from his fists and following behind the too. He stayed on his guard but would be ready to charge in if there was a threat.

Whump advances to K7, Dodging and Delaying until Wegio finds out what;s going on.

Also, Zed-too should move to K8 and guard Wegio, just sayin


Whump will do nothing till next turn

[LTDave]

The problem with Whump is that he has used his action for this round - he'll have to wait until next round before he goes in.

Or we can all delay until next round.

Eitherway, I'm waiting permission from my immediate superior talky-unit before entering the tunnel.

[WhirdCheese]

Sorry, BLAND When I looked earlier I thought you had the highest defence+hits. Other than Mellissa that is. But I figured we wanted to keep her out of the fighting as much as possible.

[WaterMonkey314]

I might also have the highest Def plus hits, especially if I Block and Dodge simultaneously.

[MarbitChow]

Turn (*Mumble*) - Marbit Hex (Broked Doors) - Round 2, Phase 5

The team takes a few moments to prepare themselves, staring alertly at the entrance. Nothing ventures forth. Once everyone is ready, Whump, Wegio, and Zed-Too move into position, and peak down the corridor...
