Douglas will spin around and run after this 'Tom' fellow. "Hold it."

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

Tom ignores Douglas and carries on (pending Mark's action).

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

Mark-315 will attempt to stop Tom, knowing he can’t catch up to him on foot before Tom makes it through the door to stop the ritual, by trying to shoot him in the leg from behind with his 9mm Sandswell Hitman pistol and manages to score a hit.

[Mark-315: Pistol Skill 14, -4 range penalty, -0 lighting (darkvision), -2 leg, +4 All Out Attack = 12: 4 + 3 + 4 = 11 (by 1)]
[Damage 2d+2 pi = (6+3)+2 = 11]

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

Tom gets no defence roll for being shot in the back.

Tom is reduced to 7 HP (leg is crippled, overall damaged reduced to 1/2 HP).
HT roll for major wound: HT 12: 2+6+5 = 13 (failed by 1).

The impact of the bullet in his legs sends Tom skidding over and he lands stunned.


The cultist's in Ehrahm's corridor are now heading out properly.


No further cultists seem to be appearing at present. One might guess that they are regrouping, or this might just be the first group to have arrived. Either way, you've got three cultists who are bleeding out, plus the ones in Ehrahm's corridor to deal with. I leave that decision to you now.

[Combat Time: Initiative]
Angel: x -- Just standing there
Douglas: 7 -- Threatened Tom
Mark: 6.5 -- Shot Tom
Charles: 6.25 -- Staying in ritual
Ehrahm: 6 -- Guarding corridor
Tom: 6 -- 7 HP, stunned from Major Wound, crippled leg
Seann: 5.5 -- Staying in ritual
Serena: 5 -- Went with Mark
John: 5 -- Staying in ritual
Cultist #3: 5 -- 4 HP, stunned from Major Wound
Cultist #5: 5 -- Ehrahm's corridor, 4 HP, stunned from Major Wound
Cultist #6: 5 -- Ehrahm's corridor, Blinded
Cultist #7: 5 -- Ehrahm's corridor, Blinded, stepped on caltrop, fallen over
Cultist #8: 5 -- Ehrahm's corridor, Blinded, stepped on caltrop, fallen over
Cultist #9: 5 -- Ehrahm's corridor, Blinded, stepped on caltrop
Cultist #11: 5 -- 4HP, stunned from Major Wound

Douglas holsters the revolver in his left hand.

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

Sorry, should have been clear: we are now out of combat time until further notice (i.e. when you get attacked again). Feel free to deal with things as you see fit until then.

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

All right. Douglas will reload the revolver that uses cartridges, shoot 'Tom' a couple of times, reload back to full, fetch his rifle and lean it against that door, then get to reloading his other revolver. Which would probably take enough time that the rest of the cultists would come if they were coming.

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

Mark-315 will reload his pistol, tie up and gag the cultists they’ve incapacitated so they can’t further interfere, and try and stabilise some of their injuries despite his disgust at their activities and hedonism etc... Oh, and try and stop Douglas executing the prisoners, we were supposed to try and not kill them if at all possible if memory serves me correctly.

Since the other cultists fled, taking most of their wounded with them, that just leaves 2 cultists and Tom lying wounded on the ground, so Mark-315 sets to work dispassionately stabilising them before tying them up, with Serena talking him through the first aid process.

Cultist 1: [Serena: First-Aid default IQ-4 = 10: 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 (by 1)]
Cultist 2: [Serena: First-Aid default IQ-4 = 10: 1 + 1 + 6 = 8 (by 2)]
Tom: [Serena: First-Aid default IQ-4 = 10: 4 + 1 + 2 = 7 (by 3)]

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

"Wait!" Douglas cries when he sees Mark about to tie them up. "Don't touch them! They'll stun you. Don't forget... they regenerate too."

Re: [IC] Worlds of Fire
 

Tom, despite being the last shot, has recovered enough to cast a dirty glare at Douglas. "Chu'dam might choose to heal us. But unless you're planning-" He breaks off and clutches at his leg in pain, a muttered curse finding its way between his lips. "I think you people have him a little busy right now; I don't think that's going to happen this time." He casts an imploring look at Mark. "Come on, seriously buddy; you think I can do that voodoo stuff through all that plastic and metalwork you're wearing?"
