He's still hanging around there in case anything happens. Unless you want him back of course.

Cultist #20, come on down!

Douglas will take a step if need be, for lighting purposes.

(Hah!)

Dang; no it's not. Speed Reading: 6+6+6 = 18 (critical failure).

With Guy quite thoroughly dealt with, and since they’re still surrounded, Mark-315 decides to see if he can clear the corridor rapidly in an attempt to give him and Douglas some breathing room, and with his attention no longer on Guy he turns and opens fire on the remaining five cultists in the corridor with him and Douglas in one sustained arc of fire with his 4.2mm Gauss Avenger SMG.

9 Shots fired:
- 1 wasted to traversing.
- 2 shots at Dale.
- 2 shots at #16.
- 2 shots at #17.
- 2 shots at #18.

Though Dale is still hanging on at -15HP, the other three cultists are quite dramatically dead from Mark's burst of firepower. Dale has collapsed from the injury and is doing a fair impression of dying. Seann will, of course, have a fit when he hears about the use of lethal force in this manner, but go figure.


Ignoring the way that Mark has cut a swafe through his fellow cultists, Wolf fires on Douglas.

Wolf: Pistol 12, -2 range, +2 Aim, Shots (2) +0 = 12: 2+1+3 = 6 (by 6)
Damage: 2d pi+: 6+6 = 12 (18 in flesh)
Damage: 2d pi+: 6+2 = 8 (12 in flesh)

[OOC: I do manage occasionally]

Douglas to roll defence.

I think that was probably a normal failure. :)

Cultist #20: Dodge 8-1 = 7: 5+2+1 = 8 (failed by 1)
Damage: 9*1.5 = 13(.5)
Cultist #20 is dead.

Two in a row! 9*3 (Vitals) = 27

Two attacks? We're getting tricky now, aren't we?

I'm not sure if I need to roll one defense or two. I'll go on and roll two and if you don't need the second one, that can be discarded.

Dodge (Speed 7, +3, +1 Combat Reflexes, +2 Feverish Defense), 13 (3d6=8)

Dodge (Speed 7, +3, +1 Combat Reflexes, +2 Feverish Defense), 13 (3d6=10)

Unnamed NPC at below 1 HP = dead NPC. He can't be more dead than dead. This is unnecessarily vicious (and yes it was Critical...).

Basic Set P375 (since having other people check my working out seems like a good idea at this point) says it's a single dodge roll for a rapid-fire attack. Success is one miss, plus one additional miss as per your margin of success. So we ignore the second roll and calculate off the first = Margin of success of 5. Wolf would need to have fired seven shots in order to hit Douglas with that roll. Dang.

Douglas manages to slip around the shots quite neatly, and now needs to act.
