Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
(OOC: If the sniper gets line of sight on you from watching the hex (say, you were behind the hex with no obstacles blocking), he can shoot with full Aim and Wait. If you're to the side of the hex, you are probably safe behind the wall. The windowsills are waist high, Sean can crouch under it by kneeling or sitting.)

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
The men behind the cars move up 6 yards, out of cover, as the other raiders pile in the automobiles. They are carrying rifles.
The sniper keeps an eye out for a tasty target…
Inside the base, Tariq can only sense a dreadful lull in the violence...Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Figuring discretion is better part of valor, Tariq will continue moving through the base to rejoin his comrades.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Simone hears Tariq moving around and calls out “Who’s there? Identify yourself!”
The men in the cars have all taken a seat and the driver starts the engine. Apparently, they plan to leave their comrades in the lurch.
TURN 10
Sean and Richard feel the weight of their guns in their hands...Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Sean Pires
Sean inserts the round and closes the chamber.
SpoilerReady the rifle 3/3. Maybe step to the next window, if there to the left of him.
Defense (should not be needed): Dodge and Drop.
Are there more windows near where Sean stands? I think he's to the left of one open window, but would prefer another one, unless this window is wider than one hex.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Seeing how things were going, Richard didn't see a reason to interrupt just yet, continuing to line up a shot in case things do start getting violent again.
Spoiler
Another turning of aiming at one of the people still out of a car.

"It's just me! Looks like those guys are pulling out!" Tariq calls to his companions, cautiously approaching the door.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
(OOC: No, there is only one window in the radio room facing that way.)
The riflemen charge forward another 6 yards as the sniper does not fire.
Simone relaxes, lowers her gun and responds to Tariq, “Okay. We’re in the radio room, come on up.”
In the meantime, the men in cars outside start up the engine and start to drive off.
TURN 11
Both Richard and Sean are ready...or are they?Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
The sound of the sniper's rifle echoing spurs Richard into action, and he takes the shot he'd been lining up on one of the advancing raiders. Hopefully it'd convince them to follow the example of their friends in the cars.
Spoiler
I think I can risk an All-out Attack (Determined) here, against the guy I was aiming at.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Richard’s bullet hits the man square in the chest, and he drops like a sack of dirt.
The dead man’s comrade ignores him as he lies still, moving another 6 yards through the minefield…directly stepping onto a mine and dying in yet another explosion.
The sniper takes notice of Richard’s fire...
Simone nods at Tariq and motions for him to help her cover the other exiles.
The men in the 2 cars drive away, following the ruined road.
TURN 12
Sean and Richard take their next move...Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Richard ducks back behind the wall proper as he starts reloading. As he does that, he calls down to Sean. "Any thoughts on how to handle our sniper situation? Reckon you could sneak out there without being noticed while they focus on trying to get a bead on us in here?"
Spoiler
Beginning to reload again, 1/4, using the step to get away from the window.

Sean Pires
Sean kneels and looks at the battlefield. "Don't use the same window twice, that's for sure. I'll see if I can persuade him to leave. Seems we are in no hurry."
SpoilerDefense: Dodge and Drop.
Do we have to play it round-by round against the sniper or can we declare longer chunks?

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Sean Pires
"Fifty yards or thereabouts. Ontop of the hill, basically the same direction they came from. Taking cover behind a low wall, but not really hiding. I'd say a bit too far for a throw." says Sean taking cover behind the wall and taking the bayonet off the rifle. "I'll maybe give him some more warning shots, then we'll see." Sean sneaks down to the first floor, takes a position as far from the wall facing the sniper as he possibly can while still being just a step away from line of fire through the building entrance. He then makes that step, aims, shoots, and gets back behind the wall blocking line of sight from the sniper.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
The sniper is startled as the bullet hits the solid wooden cover he has been bracing on. Although the shot didn't penetrate the log, the sniper immediately breaks off his aim and drops out of sight.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Sean Pires
Sean moves around the first floor while not getting himself exposed to the sniper. Also, not getting anything much exposed to the sniper, he opens two random windows in random order. He then moves in similar way on the second floor, getting one more random window open. Then he sneaks back to the first floor, as deep into the building as he can from the second window he opened there, steps to get a line of sight to the target, aims, and shoots.
SpoilerNot sure how those windows open, but Sean is going to get creative not to get much of anything exposed. If appropriate, he might use tools etc. Then...

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
The sniper is sticking close to the ground and his cover, and Sean's shot goes wide anyways.
Once again, the sniper is startled by the rifle fire. This time, he gets even more jumpy, and drops into even deeper cover so he can reposition.
Sean loses sight of the would-be assassin.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Sean Pires
Sean gets back to the second floor, peeks into the recently opened window, then, not seeing a sniper looking at him, crouches, bracing the rifle in the expected direction of the sniper.
"Those guys are cautious now. Tariq, I think you can get close enough to throw a grenade without necessarily getting killed. Try to leave them little time to scatter and then get back as fast as you can. They are behind a log, so better an overshot than an undershot. Richard and I will have you covered."
SpoilerDefense: Dodge and Drop.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
Tariq lights the fuse on a black powder grenade, waits for 2 seconds, and then throws the grenade to where he thinks the motorcycle is.
SpoilerTariq rolls 10 on his to hit roll, I'm not sure what the range is but effective skill is 17 so that should be a hit out to 30 yards. The grenade will explode the turn he throws it, doing 8 cr ex damage and the fragmentation does 6 cutting, and has the potential to hit everyone within 5 yards with 2 fragments.

Re: Worse Than the Disease IC
For just a second, Tariq wonders if the grenade was a dud. The two men talk without interruption.
Until the explosion.
The blast tears apart a few metres of terrain (and, judging by the harsh industrial racket, the motorcycle as well) - Tariq struggles to hear anything else, but he does find that the conversation between the two men has changed to screams of terror and pain.
When the silence falls over the hilltop, Tariq looks over his cover to see two men lying bloodied and still besides a damaged motorcycle in the middle of the aftermath.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Drawing his revolver, Tariq cautiously approaches the men, also looking around to make sure that there's no one else left.
