    Sean does drop the magazine he has drawn, so the intent was to be shooting two-handed.

    Bart will likely either direct the dogs to keep looking or aim at the stunned guy, depending on what he thinks the dogs would do if not directed.

    Bart shoots where he was aiming.

    Bart crosses him off the list.
    3 slavers made into cover, and are now cowering.
    Everyone else on the opposite side is either dead or knocked out by wounds.
    The cabin is relatively untouched.

    Could Tariq please get some medical aid in the not-too-distant future?

    I think we only have the time to use an injector or two, along with all consequences of those... Sean considered placing a Claymore across the road, but there's no time for that either. The only good news seem to be that you are across the whole trapped camp from this approaching bus, but not sure if this would be enough.

    So, it's your choice about the nanomachine injectors, but if those guys are "elite" we might need all the firepower we could possibly muster.

    Is gnome alright with Tariq playing the random mutation lottery and getting injected by Richard, or would you rather not and get normal medical attention when we can?

    Seeing how that worked out for Sean, I'm reluctant. The benefit versus the drawbacks are pretty steep.

    @Shoot Da Moon: Do we have any better understanding how these things work? Do we know whether they always result in mutations? If the only benefit is 1d6 healing, plus a chance or certainty of a positive mutation and a negative mutation, the odds are against this being helpful and getting Tariq back into the fight, as he is at -5.

    A dose heals for 1d HP, and the patient must roll HT to decide what mutations and side effects there are. There is ALWAYS mutations and/or side effects, regardless. A critical success, at least, means mutations with minimal side effects.

    Make sure Richard and Tariq state clearly where they'll position themselves and what they are doing.

    What are your orders for Bart and his dogs, by the way?

    Speaking of positioning before and during the upcoming combat:
    1. How is the outdoor smoke situation now? We had three flashbangs at the camp, presumably somewhere between the group and the house, so...
    1.1 Have the smoke dispersed to some extent?
    1.2 If not totally dispersed, is it between the group and the road?
    2. There was one flashbang in the house. Is the smoke from it still confined in that one room or is it spreading out? How far is Sean from the smoke, assuming Sean is near the back door?
    3. Is there space beside the back door to get full cover with no line of sight to the attackers? If not, how far Sean would have to travel to reach such a space?

    I think Sean is in no position to advice the rest of the group, including Bart, so not proposing anything.

    1) The smoke outside has dissipated.
    2) The smoke inside the cabin is probably fading away - the incoming might be going slow. Opening the doors would help that. If Sean's at the back door, he's just out of the smoke cloud.
    3) Yes, Sean can get cover besides the back door.

    Not a heck of a lot, Tariq is lying where he's been dragged, but he is going to look around to see whether he's in sufficient cover. If not, he might risk a HT-roll to try to Camouflage himself better.

    Richard and/or Bart can get you into cover.

    Do you want to be inside the cabin, or somewhere outside?

    (For the upcoming battle, you can play as Bart if Tariq is in no condition to fight.)

    He probably is. I'd say Sean left him prone behind some appropriately-sized tree...

    Relocating should only be needed if the attackers come from some other direction. Also, as of the moment, there are three prisoners nearby. They are presumably on their knees and not particularly stealthy, so might worth it to command them to lie down.

    Woo! It thought we'd have less time, but more range. Can Richard be considered to have reloaded the GL in the meantime?

    Assuming the cabin is "just a few yards from the centre" of the camp, any of those "large stone barriers of various heights" anywhere on or near the bus' path? Or should we expect a direct house hit sometime soon? Besides, what is the house built of? Solid logs or something lighter? Any stone basement?

    The tyre is Unliving and has DR 4, so a rifle shot merely delay small damage and provoked a HT roll to avoid going flat.

    Yes, the battle bus is heading towards the stone barriers. It could probably stop the bus before it hits the cabin. The cabin is mostly made of thick wood. You don't think it has a stone basement.

    Cover for -2 and crouching for -2. The range of 15 yards should be just -5, but between cover a crouching would be a miss anyway.

    No objections as long as we get to loot them all afterwards (and not, like, being informed that there were only 20). Counting those downed by Sean:
    #846d: -6
    #848d: -5
    #859d: -4
    #863d: -3

    The 20 number was because your characters could only do a rough count from a distance and at a bad angle.

    There are really 25 plus the driver and a commander. I've been keeping count.

At least, Richard will get a Dodge and Drop.)
    I am not sure it even goes off. It is guaranteed to go off at 15+ yards. It is not said what range is safe, but I think 5 yards might well be.
