Here is the second half of ROUND 2:

16
Boaba    
Boaba knows that he needs to move if he wants to get into the action. He gives a running jump and vaults into the air (with hopes of landing safely on the stairs next round!)

13
Jroaf  
He takes this opportunity to duck into the temple at the top of the pyramid. He can tell that Loar and Atuk might need a hand-- so he moves into position to support.

12
Drengo
Drengo doesn't know what the underworld just happened, but by the gods of blood; he was getting to cover. He took cover behind an 8' tall stones pillar carved with the image of a man wearing a head-dress.

Eisen Kills Macin

9
Nor        
Nor had been following behind his pal Macin, as soon as Macin died in a spray of gun shot, he bravely turned the corner through the tree cover to stab at a white skinned man wearing some sort of hat. He curses as he misses, his spear catching only air.

8
Elaf        
Elaf leaves Hoan's side-- now abandoning his upward progress towards the escapee. Instead he ran down to the bottom of the stairs and didn't stop until he was up against the intricately carved stone pillar, with the unusual markings.

6
Choca
Darts across the pyramid south, He sees Boaba's vaulting jump to land on the stairs. Choca had a feeling that he had better stay as low as he could manage-- so he made his way to the stairs, then dropped off a level of the pyramid, then a second, then a third. He kept down behind the stairs as the others shouted around him.



Mal...
I have shown this map up to your move, but I did not include it yet as Malcolm has lost access to the square he had been heading too as other cannibals join Loar and Atuk.. Your attack is good though, and it hits hard enough to take out pretty much the target of your choice with the damage rolled. So I will await to hear from you again before we finish the round and start the next.

As much as i would like to take out the SoB that stabbed me getting out is more important, so Atuk gets a 30 cal snack. I will then move over his body to try and start making my way down the step pyramid as far as i can.

 :cheers Here is to hoping they roll like crap on their AoOs.

Hearing movement on another side sent a shock down Loder's spine.  Unsure of what to do, he slowly crouched to the ground behind a large-leafed plant, making sure he could still see Russo.  He put the tripod down as quietly as possible and held the Winchester ready.

Mal opens fire upon the wounded Atuk. His gun deafening in the somewhat enclosed stone space.

Atuk crumpled to the floor, like a marionette with its strings cut, but just before me managed to get off a stab with his spear-- but he missed and died regardless.

Mal looked over his shoulder in time to see the two other natives try to stabe-- AND miss him withe their own short spears.

Mal heads down the side of the pyramid--dropping  down the levels as he goes... the stone is old, but sturdy enough along the front.

He ends up at K-28.

Pingo sneers as his first opponent takes the spear to his chest and drops dead. Already his companions have shot his next target, he would have to hurry if he wanted to claim the lives of his enemies, his teammates worked efficiently with their guns. It was not the glory of armed combat, face to face, sweat and blood, but it was effective, he would give them that. Ahead of him the cannibals moved to hold the front against them at the base of the temple. He would disrupt that pretty quick. He snatched the spear that was protruding from the ground behind him. A cannibal had thrown at him earlier but missed, it had been a mistake on his part. To Pingo a spear was a part of his body. It was like throwing a sword at a knight. With another fierce war cry he launched himself forward towards the pillar the cannibals thought would provide them cover from his wrath. As he rounded the corner he thrust his new spear at the first native he saw.

[spoiler]Grabbing the spear stuck in the ground behind Pingo: Quickdrawed free action. (legal right?) Moving 20 feet to N-22: Move action. Thrusting the spear at cannibal E: attack action.
To hit. To slay. (1d20+8=10, 1d8+7=13)
Fuck! Wait action point! Damn first time use.
Action point add to hit. (1d6=5) Total 15 to hit!
Ha! Get some bitch![/spoiler]

Pingo attacks cannibal Elaf, stabbing with his new found spear. and hits for 13 damage!  [spoiler](Quickdraw made this possible, yes.)[/spoiler]



Loar moves to K-29, dropping down the stairs level by level-- vengeance gleaming in his eyes. He stabs at Malcolm proving that he would NOT let THIS one escape!!!!

Hoan joins Elaf with a full-move action to take cover behind the standing stone carved pillar at the foot of the Pyramid. The two men share a look-- they realize that they need to make it out of here alive!

EDIT:   Hoan, seeing that a strange native wearing pants has stepped up and KILLED Elaf, decides to halt his progress down the stairs. There is nothing he could do for Elaf now, anyway. But revenge could still be taken.

Hoan hurled a shortspear towards Pingo... it misses Pingo and clatters against the carved 8 foot tall pillar.

Iagin Peeks out from his cover and looks about to see if he can figure out what in the 9 hells is happening!!

Bones strikes with a double-tap of hot lead-- for 11 damage against Nor!

[spoiler]Can I see Nor? If so, these are my actions.[/spoiler]

"Any estimate on the number of hostiles, Bones?" John asks as he joins the skipper in shooting at one of the cannibals.

[spoiler]Move next to Bones (wherever he ends up after his turn is over) and open fire on Nor:

Attack (not including a Point Blank Shot bonus, in case it applies): 23
Damage (not including a Point Blank Shot bonus, in case it applies): 9[/spoiler]


EDIT: Ammo count: 99 left.

Bones glances up at the bonfire lit face of the crumbling-stone pyramid, at the many savages that now seem to be coming down towards them on their way to close the distance of the fight.

"Um... All of them?!" He yelps in answer to Sgt Kestrel's inquiry.

The Sarge's gun belched fire, and spat lead into the cannibal called by "Nor" putting the savage at his final rest.

Loder & Russo
[spoiler]
After a few moments the retched stench is gone, and Russo once again finds his lungs. He notices Loder easily, as the Doctor lays on the ground flat behind a small shrub of greenery.

A child's coughing sound comes from the trees just 10 feet away, and Russo & Loder both see the Kid come out from his concealment, green in the face and looking like he too just lost his lunch.[/spoiler]

Mal will move away from Loar to I24 angling his movement to not get too close to Choca. Once at I24 he will wheel back around and get his revenge on Loar for stabbing him, possibly twice by this point.
[spoiler]If I calculated wrong and Point blank doesn't apply subtract 1 from attack and damage, though that shouldn't matter too much  :D

Round 3 concludes...

*Ka-BLAAAM--!!!* says Richards rifle. Its shot cuts into Boaba in mid-leap, but unfortunately does not finish the man.

16
Boaba          
Boaba; wounded and bleeding staggers down the stone stairway to end at  (M-25)--

13
Jroaf          
Jroaf decides that chasing after his dinner is less important that say... not getting his head blown off. He makes his way through the temple interior out the most southern doorway, passes the cowering Iagin to (Q-33) in hopes that he can spot a source of trouble that he can address.

12
Drengo  
Steps passed his fallen ally to attack Pingo with his shortspear, and the strike hits its mark for 6 points of damage!

9
Eisen takes his shot, but misses.  

 6
Choca
Choca, late in the initiative decide to run to the west, disappearing from sight...

Mal
Mal will move away from Loar to I24 angling his movement to not get too close to Choca. Once at I24 he will wheel back around and get his revenge on Loar for stabbing him, possibly twice by this point.
[spoiler]If I calculated wrong and Point blank doesn't apply subtract 1 from attack and damage, though that shouldn't matter too much  :D
Attack/Damage with PBS added: (1d20+11=26, 2d10+3=17)

Ha you will not stab me again![/spoiler]

Loar continues in his momentum after having a hole the size of Texas blown through his chest, to fall at Mal's feet.

This map shows where everyone is at at the end of round #3 and the start of round #4.

Pingo is struck again by another weapon but he hardly feels it in his berserk like state. Sweaty, bloody, and already having felled a couple of the inhuman creatures he continues his murderous onslaught by swinging his machete at the cannibal in front of him, slicing him as he spun a full circle to drive his spear into his opponent. He roared another warcry then turned and looked at the remaining cannibals at the Temple stairs. His eyes told them he wanted their blood as well.

And he wanted it real bad.

[spoiler]Using full round action for double attack so not moving anywhere, just hacking away.

To hit. Spear then Machete. (1d20+8=25, 1d20+7=25)

Ha ha ha ha, The Gods of Dice do exist!

To Slay. (1d8+7=11, 1d6+3=5)

Mmm, can I get an amen?[/spoiler]
