    Alright. First man down, time for the second one. Richard takes another few moments to line up a shot at the other raiders before firing, but this time he's rather less successful.

    Tariq readies a concussion grenade and listens for any signs of movement inside.

    As Richard fumbles his shot, he sees his intended target go to ground and grab some stuff off his fallen comrade from behind cover.

    Sean hears the men inside scream for a medic, and then for someone to call for backup.

    Tariq hears people inside move to the fireplace on the ground floor, where the lodge has a relaxation lounge of chairs, tables, couches and a nearby bar.

    When Tariq readies a grenade, Sean gets himself ready to move away from the chimney. He stays close to it for the moment, points down into it, nods, and does not much else.

    Damn. Taking that shot jarred his shoulder up a bit, and now he's lost his opportunity of picking that second guy off from a distance. Richard draws his pistol and moves closer to the lodge, planning on getting inside.

    Tariq will pull the pin, wait 2 seconds, and then toss his grenade at, preferably into, the room where he hears movement.

    Tariq's grenade lands in the room he was hoping for, but he can not see exactly where it landed...

    Until it explodes, blowing out another big window pane and wrecking a door.

    Then he hears (after the ringing clears) three men screaming in pain.

    Richard gets a bit closer as the bomb tears up the lounge, but he can't see anyone inside until he makes it to the lodge's landing, or a higher position.

    Sean waits, observes and listens. He is somewhat worried about what Richard seems to be doing, but is not ready to intervene just yet. At least, not while Tariq is throwing grenades in there.

    Tariq is going to move closer to the building to try to get a sense whether there are any combatants still kicking.

    Both Tariq and Richard spy more raiders active inside the lodge.
    There are four raiders taking up positions on the second floor, they look like they are guarding a locked down interior room - an head office, judging by the décor.
    Meanwhile, the ground floor has raiders spreading out and on alert. There are 4 men with guns readied sweeping the east side lounge where the grenade went off. 3 raiders are standing guard at the west, gingerly surrounded by dead bodies. The last 3 raiders on the ground floor are searching the dead in the center of the floor, mostly around where some of the fires spread.

    (OOC: How close to the lodge do you want to get, Richard and Tariq? In yards, please. Gonna sneak inside the building?)

    Sean waits, observes and listens. If he would think that Tariq and/or Richard are approaching too close, he'll try to wave them towards the ladder.

    Sean doesn't want anyone just barging in. So, anything closer than, say, 15 yards and Sean'll wave.

    Seeing movement inside, Tariq is going to ready another fragmentation grenade, wait for two seconds, then hurl it into the east side lounge. (I'm unsure how close he is now, but he won't approach closer than 20 yards or so).

    The raiders in the lounge do not notice the grenade in time, and Tariq sees two of them are caught in the blast - either knocked out or killed by the bang and burn.

    The men are spread out enough that the other two suffer less from the explosion. They'll be making party talk out of those scars for a long time, if they survive this...

    After a few seconds, the two injured raiders still capable shake it off and try to find who threw the grenade...

    (OOC: Tariq, call it 20 yards away from the lodge. Also, you have a chance to sneak away from the raiders while they're recovering from the blast. If you have another grenade, make a self-control roll against Pyromania to avoid bombing them again.)

    Richard doesn't go inside the lodge yet, just getting close enough to start picking people off with his pistol - it might not have the same accuracy and power as the rifle, and shooting with this arm isn't the best thing for precise firing, but he hoped closing the distance might help compensate.

    Roughly planning to stop at around the 15-20 yard mark and then start aiming at the raiders I'm seeing, give or take some distance depending on if there's anything in the way of cover where I'm approaching (is the parking lot empty, or are there abandoned/raider vehicles or anything like that?) and getting into a position that gives a good line of fire at someone. Is another Stealth roll necessary, or will my previous

    Sean Pires

    Sean is worried enough about Richard attacking with just a pistol in the left hand. He's also worried about him being a target for Tariq's grenades, but decides descending to the balcony would be justifiable in the terms of risk. He times it to coincide with Tariq's next grenade to surprise the people on the second floor.

    As Sean waits, he hears a man behind a closed door barking orders.

    Seeing there are raiders still alive and kicking, Tariq readies a concussion grenade, holds it for 2 seconds, and then hurls it towards the two raiders in the room who are still up.

    The two men in the lounge never see it coming.
    In a second, the bomb goes off and reduces them both to a bloody smear.

    Hearing the blast, Sean drops down onto the balcony. He can see through the open door that the raiders upstairs are frantically trying to shore up their position around the door they're guarding. All of them have better armor than what he's seen the enemies wear up until now. All of them are carrying shotguns and revolvers. They have not noticed him yet, but they are alert and ready to shoot at shadows.

    Sean Pires

    Sean starts a long burst walking it across the group of raiders left to right, but then fails to properly control the weapon as it climbs up from recoil. He has to cut the burst short and take time regaining his balance instead of stepping out of the way.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Critical miss effect: You lose your balance. You can do nothing else (not even a free action) until your next turn, and all your active defenses are at -2 until then.

    So no step out of the way. Sean will use extra effort dodging the first possible attack and drop dodging the second.

    Sean's rapid fire eliminates two of the upper floor guardsmen without a problem.

    The two survivors are shocked by the sudden flanking, and raise their pistols to shoot back...

    From inside the guarded room, Sean can hear the boss grumbling to himself, "DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?!"

    (OOC: Combat time starts. The upper floor guardsmen have Basic Speed 6.00, the raider boss has Basic Speed 7.00 - but Tariq and Richard still get a second of action before they do, since Sean just acted. I believe it's Richard's turn and then Tariq?)

    Well, now or never. Time to see how good a shot he is with his bad arm. Not a great one, as it turns out - it was a shot he was sure he could've made normally, but having to use his left arm throws his aim off enough for the shot to go wide. Damn.

    Tariq is starting to run low on grenades, so he pulls out his revolver.

    TURN 1

    The raider boss finally shows his face, opening the door to the room he was hiding in, heavy revolver in hand.

    In the meantime, the upper guardsmen who have seen Sean are also out of patience. Throwing caution to the wind, they both open up on the exile, a double salvo from their rifles.

    One shot goes wide, but the other is on point...Sean hits the dirt as he sees the murder in the bad guy's eye...

    (OOC: Sean, it is your turn now. Did the shot hit you?)

    It takes some nerve for Sean not to dodge the first attack, which goes wide by only a little. He hits the floor just in time to avoid the second. Then he shoot another burst at the opponents and rolls out of the doorway.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Assuming Sean only has to dodge good attacks and he knows the first one goes wide, he's using both extra effort and drop against the second attack, successfully dodgin it.

    Using extra effort to move and attack. The move action is after the attack to move one hex out of the doorway while still prone. 7 FP left.

    The two riflemen fall to the ground as Sean crayon-rolls out of danger. The two bad guys are both face down and bleeding badly.

    Only the boss, spared the same death as his subordinates by Sean's crooked shooting, remains.
