ROUND #2 SUMMARY[spoiler]
18 Richard Richard takes a step back (L-20), quickly reloads, aims, and fires at Cannibal_E!
*Ka-BOOOOOM--!!!!*Richard's gun echoes through the jungle night, again sounding like thunder.
*Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum* the drums continue their steady beat. On each shore the cannibal percussionists, hidden by the veil of blackest night, increase the tempo, building towards something.
*Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum*18 CannibalsScreaming their frenzied cry,
"HOOOOOOooooOOOOoOOOoOOOOooowwwWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHH!"Cannibal_C launches an arrow down from off of the tarped-roof. Richard hears the sound of it as it whizzes past him to sink into the wooden deck behind him with a wooden
*THUNK!*Cannibal_E releases and strikes Richard with another arrow for 3 points of damage.
Cannibal_G comes around to take cover at O-18. He looses an arrow from around the roof support post. It sinks into Richard's thigh for another 3 points of damage.
Richard now has 3 arrows protruding from him, and a total loss of -10 HPs for this combat.
Cannibal E, Cannibal C, Cannibal G
(1d20+2=8, 1d20+2=16, 1d20+2=16)
Damage for 2 arrows. (1d6=3, 1d6=3)13 RussoRusso on his action, holds the grip of his pistol tight, watching the others... fear in his eyes. Suddenly he dashes from the lounge, past Pingo, past the stairs, and to the smaller cabin where the Doctor and the Kid were last seen (stopping at C-13). He bangs on the door in a frantic motion, and opens it.
"It's me!" He says spotting Dr, Loder holding a pistol.
"The cannibals are attacking! They're coming down through Bones' cabin! Is the Kid safe?! What are we going to do!? I don't think I can get to either of 'the Girls'!"12 Kestrel John decides to take his chances and drops his flashlight as he hears the door being unlocked.
In one swift motion he opens the door to Bones' room and fires a shot at one of Bones' assailants, hoping to hit his mark despite the lack of illumination.
John yanks open the door. Immediately on the other side, is a not-so-steady Bones. The opening door dragged the smell of a brewery off of him into the Lounge. Cannibals in the room were screaming their frenzied cry,
"HOOOOOOooooOOOOoOOOoOOOOooowwwWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHH!"Kestrel fires a shot, PAST BONES, at a shadowy figure standing beneath the hatch hole in the ceiling of Bones' cabin. There is a pained grunt, that stops Cannibal B's screaming-- But the others voices continue unabated and frightening. John immediately sees a second shadow in the room, near the OTHER door.
12 CannibalsThis second group of Cannibals react; in the midst of their screaming frenzy,
"HOOOOOOooooOOOOoOOOoOOOOooowwwWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHH!"Cannibal_A moves to D-6. He fumbles with the locked door for a moment, ignoring the battle in the room with him.
Cannibal_B moves forward into F-5. He stabs at Bones with a short spear and strikes! The cannibal laughs a ragged and frightening laugh as he does so, stabbing Bones with his speartip. (Bones takes -9 damage)
A third comes down through the hatch:
Cannibal_F lands in the space vacated by B.
8 LoderLoder holds his fire as he sees Russo in the doorway. "Kid's safe in here, get in and maybe we can formulate some sort of plan. How many cannibals did you see, and where were they?"
After letting Russo into the room, Loder re-locks the door.
7 Pingo First Round attempt: Pingo attempts to break down the door. Strength Check (1d20+3=7) The door, old and badly mended after a notorious Bones-Binge had broken it, rocks in it's frame, but holds.
Second Round Attempt: Pingo attempts to break down the door. Strength Check (1d20+3=13)
The door frame bursts, and splitters carry into the door with the momentum of the old wooden door as it whips open with a second well-placed shoulder by Pingo. The mute takes a five foot step into the doorway, brandishing his short spear in his right fist and wielding has machete in his left.
Blood is on his mind. Payback for the death of his village. Payback for eating his own tongue while he watched. Payback for spitting his daughter and cooking her like a pig. Payback for roasting his wife alive on a stake.
Pingo for one
knew the perils of being taken alive by these savages.
3 Eisen Flicking his flashlight on as he comes up the stairs, gun ahead of him and his flashlight arm crossing over so the beam aims with the gun, Eisen checks his surroundings, firing on the first target he can see.
[I'm going to interpret this in your favor. You did a Spot and Listen check, and you would have heard the sound of the 3rd group of cannibals as they were coming down through the wheelhouse. 'firing on the first target he can see.' leads me to believe that you would have readied and action to shoot at whatever cannibal came down from the roof to meet you.]3 Bones Bones staggers quickly, turns and practically topples past Sergeant Kestrel who had opened the door Bones had unlocked the previous round.
Well at least if they eat me I'm well marinated--! Once through the door, he slams the door shut as he passes, then topples into the chair at (F-8), does an about face and trains his pistol on the door waiting...nay, daring for someone to come through...
"Who do these cats think they are dropping in at this hour, see?" Bones slurs from his chair.
1 CannibalsA THIRD group of Cannibals react; Having broken through the wheelhouse door during the last round.
Cannibal_K comes down the left-hand stairs (to L-8) while
Cannibal_I comes down the right-hand stairs (to M-9). Spotting Eisen, they begin to wail,
"HOOOOOOooooOOOOoOOOoOOOOooowwwWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHH!"Eisen's Attack goes off--
*BLAM* taking a chunk out of
Cannibal_I even as he is coming down the stairs. Cannibal_I closes the distance and stabs at Eisen with his spear,
but misses as Eisen easily side-steps the thrust.Cannibal_H opens the cabin's side-door allowing
Cannibal_J top move in to L-9. Cannibal_J screams a blood-curdling howl as he
stabs Eisen in the torso with his spear! (Eisen is hurt for 9 points! That is MAX DAMAGE!) The Cannibal laughs a rough and ragged cackle at the sight of blood. His smile reveals that his teeth have been filed to points in his mouth.
All the while everyone can hear the steady
*Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum**Thrruuum-thrrruuum*[/spoiler]
