Ronin moves back to avoid the smoke and keeps his weapon aimed at where the doors are.

[spoiler]Move to L9 and ready an action to shoot any hostile targets.[/spoiler]

Round #15 Summary

12    Greasemonkey opens the door of the stall next to him, hoping that it is empty. It is, he moves to the last...

11    Dove hears the gunfire and ends her searching and races past Greasemonkey to the door. Throwing it open wide she prepares to look for more targets and gives the two in the hall an inquiring look to make sure they are alright.

You see no sign of the source of gunfire, but you see a bleeding Ronin pressed into a corner, and Heavyarms standing in the doorway to the outside, looking determined.

9     Cross, gritting his teeth, he pushes past Doc and rushes around the corner.  Seems he's allergic to bullets.

9    Mercenary C takes one last look at his fleeing foes before he darts to the west (his left), and disappears around the corner into the trashed waiting room area.

7    Mercenary A ...

6    Heavyarms wasn't going to let the bastard get away with it this time; he rushes down the hallway after his foe, bursting open the door, wondering if he missed the guy or hit him.

As Heavyarms pushes the doors open, a wall of white smoke awaits on the other side, obscuring any view of the room inside. The smoke pours into the hallway, pushing past the boundaries of the doors, and enveloping Heavyarms entirely.

Ronin finds himself engulfed in smoke as it reaches around the corner to his position.

Dove watches as both her teammates vanish into the smoke cloud.

5     Ronin moves back to avoid the smoke and keeps his weapon aimed at where the doors are. Ready to attack any hostiles he sees come through the smoke.

5      Doc, crossing the puddle of water that spilled across the smooth marble floor from where someone had knocked over the water cooler-- you come to see the area that you had previously seen from the other side of the double glass doors that led outside. There was a 10' thick plume of smoke that reached down to the marble floor from the ceiling. Jutting from it a toppled office plant, and strewn about, torn books and ripped out pages.

Also a very familiar scent that reminds you of the times you'd visited the Baton Rouge Zoo years in the past-- specifically the monkey house.

You don't see the man you followed around the corner.

Listening, you detect the sound of movement from within the plume of smoke.

Doc takes a step closer to the smoke and thinks where would I hide in there. Then pulls the trigger, aiming for a center of mass hit if the guy is where he is guessing.

[spoiler]5' step to BB10. aiming at AA8, since i'm just guessing where he is anyway.

Dove creeps quietly toward the door as the smoke rolls out. She flips her NVGs to the top of her head as she intakes a deep breathe and disappears into the smoke in a low silent crouch hoping she doesn't run into Heavyarms and tell their opponents where they are in the cloud. She makes for the door. Once there she pauses to listen for where Heavyarms might be and for her opponents beyond.

[spoiler]Move Silent= taking 10 so 18. Since move silently is half speed she makes it to the door at I8 easily enough. Listen=15.
Not sure what type of action just moving them to the top of her head is. If it is a move I will adjust accordingly.[/spoiler]

Holding his breath and diving right in, Heavyarms looks to see if he can't clear out the smoke. Sure, shooting a grenade into the damn room would probably hit him (then again, the roof-bastard dodged his first one...), but he only had five left, and didn't want to waste them. It was better to keep the rifle and instead find a way to clear out the troublesome smoke.

[spoiler]Move Action: Move to I-5
Move Action: If it's a window, break it open with the butt of my gun. If it's a door, try to open it.[/spoiler]

Round #16 Summary

12    Greasemonkey opens the last stall door. And find that it is currently unoccupied.

11    Dove creeps quietly toward the door as the smoke rolls out. She flips her NVGs to the top of her head as she intakes a deep breathe and disappears into the smoke in a low silent crouch hoping she doesn't run into Heavyarms and tell their opponents where they are in the cloud. She makes for the door. Once there she pauses to listen for where Heavyarms might be and for her opponents beyond. She abruptly ceases in front of a Heavyarms shaped form in the smoke.

9     Cross  stealthily creeps back through the doors.

7    Mercenary A holds his action, and readies an action.

The thick smoke continues to expand (it has now reached it's full diameter)--

6    Heavyarms, holding his breath and diving right in, he looks to see if he can't clear out the smoke. Sure, shooting a grenade into the damn room would probably hit him (then again, the roof-bastard dodged his first one...), but he only had five left, and didn't want to waste them. It was better to keep the rifle and instead find a way to clear out the troublesome smoke.

He saw something window-like through the incredibly dense smoke, and went to it. With the butt of his rifle he slammed it into the pane of glass expecting it to shatter out with a satisfying tinkle-- instead, the butt of his weapon bounced back, hard-- sending the force of the impact back up Heavyarms shoulders. *BAAM!*

The smoke creeps towards Ronin's position, and fills the area that Heavyarms had just headed into.

5     Ronin calmly maintains his position, keeping a ready eye and an itchy trigger finger.

5      Doc takes a step closer to the smoke and thinks where would I hide in there. Then pulls the trigger, aiming for a center of mass hit if the guy is where he is guessing.

*Ka-BLAM!* The sound is loud in the confined quarters. There's no scream of pain, nor the sound of anyone slumping to the floor either.

Is it possible the man could have crawled out onto the roof once more?

'Damn... bulletproof.... piece of shit....' Was all he thought to himself as he heard the noise he was making. There was no hope finding someone that was hiding in the damned room, he knew that; he also knew that there was no way that the room would get emptied of the smoke if there was no exit for it. There had to be a way. He just needed to regroup first; it was time to do some laying in wait of his own. He made a slight movement, just to obscure his position from where his opponent must have heard the bang, and he brought his rifle up, ready to blow a hole in the guy, first chance he got.

"Marco!"
He said with a smirk. He needed something to shoot at, even if he gave up his position.

[spoiler]Free: 5-ft step to H-5
Move: Listen Check: 16
Ready Attack:
To-Hit: 20 (21 if within 30 ft, -1 to AC if opponent has some form of armor)
Damage: 7


Once IC is back up, I'll roll the dice... Got it. Not bad rolls either, if they matter...[/spoiler]

Greasemonkey squats down in the corner, keeping his gun pointed at the door.  He is NOT going back out there unless he has to, he's a scientist not a gunslinger.  He's prepared to shoot anyone who comes in who isn't a part of his team.

[spoiler]
Prepared action: shoot anyone who comes into his line of sight that isn't part of the team
Hit:
Damage:


Invisible Castle is down, I'll roll if the need comes up and it's back when that happens.

is that a counter/desk to the left of my position, like at a hotel lobby? If so i'll glance over it to make sure he isn't hiding there.

Doc
[spoiler]It IS a counter, waiting room style, with two counter openings into the hallway.
Go ahead and give me a spot check if you want to look in there. be minded, this Spot check is not a reaction check, and therefore takes the full round as you take the time to look.[/spoiler]

Still in a low crouch and moving quietly, Dove picks her route along the wall to her right. Still keeping an ear out for any possible sounds that would tell her where her enemies are while still prepared to roll to one side if she is fired upon.

Ronin moves over to the toilet-area and opens the door, taking up position in the door-opening for cover.

[spoiler]Move into the door opening, using it for cover (I guess that would be I11?) against attacks from the merc (presumably) hiding in/beyond the smoke.[/spoiler]
