Zaria attempts to open the door. If it doesn't she attempts to pull the door open. Soren glances at the sword still in his hands. Done.
Waterbrick Down Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 1 hour ago, The Legonater said: Soren takes the blade in his hand, and flips it absently. Cool. We're doing this now. Weapon in hand, he follows Zaria to engineering, listening for sounds of conflict beyond. Given the soundproof nature of the car, Soren does not hear anything through the door. 55 minutes ago, Kintobor said: "Soren, hold onto my sword for a moment just in case I need to use a little force to open this door." Zaria attempts to open the door. If it doesn't she attempts to pull the door open. Zaria finds the door still unlocked from Soren's earlier work. The group heads inside.

Zaria Athletics Proficiency Check (DC 3) - (2, 1, 3, 2) Unfortunately the door stays in place. Is the door already repaired from when Soren broke the lock? Edited September 1, 2021 by The Legonater

MM Note: Right you are fixing. The engineering car is a mess, the side of one wall a gaping hole, the planet's country side zooming past. Three uniformed individuals in black armor are searching the car. Both engineers are knocked out unconscious on the ground. "Blast, we've got company. Slice get me a lock on that energy signature. Crunch back me up." "On it, filtering frequencies." "Sure thing boss." The coral-color haired woman turns to the heroes. "Hello lovelies, sorry for the rude entrance, but we had to speed up the schedule just a tick. We'll only be a minute and then we'll be out of your hair."
The Legonater Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Hey, Yelana; these your friends? Soren tosses Zaria's sword to her, and unholsters his gun. I'm assuming diplomacy ain't going to be a factor, here?

Kintobor Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Zaria grabs her sword as Soren tosses it to her and unsheathes it, readying her stance with a flourish of her blade. She sizes up her opponents, looking to see what she'd be stepping into. OOC: I don't even know if this is something I can do, or what kind of info you want to give, but I'm curious for any info that might help me figure out if jumping into this fight is suicide or not.

Zaria Perception Proficiency Check (DC 1,3) - (5, 5, 1) 2 Successes Zaria only counts the three combatants and while well armed, they seem about on par with she and her companions.
Kintobor Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Zaria smiled, pointing her sword at the coral haired woman. "I care not for the exchange of pleasantries: you have endangered the lives of countless people on this train. I offer you one opportunity to leave your mission behind, but I think you and I both know that is not going to happen." Zaria steeled herself, knowing this fight would be challenging but ready for what awaited her.
The Legonater Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 43 minutes ago, Waterbrick Down said: "'Fraid not Love, you've got your job and we've got ours." Sounds good to me. Soren opens fire.
Classic_Spaceman Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 16 hours ago, Kintobor said: Zaria's nostrils flared. She took off her sunglasses and rubbed the bridge of her nose with her fingers. "You have attempted once before to try and use my deity's name to pressure me into doing something, Yelana, and the last time you did I thought I made my point, but if I must make it again I gladly will. Yelana walked back to her seat. "I wasn't trying to pressure you into anything, Zaria - I was just pointing out how you'd react." 15 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: It was a good speech, unfortunately Zaria's hope of a calm and collected rest were interrupted as an explosion from one of the lead cars rocked through the train. "Ah! The hell?! Too strong for breaching charges, not strong enough for a reactor overload. . . Soren, was that drone rigged to explode??" 10 hours ago, Kintobor said: "You want to know Varuth says regarding our current predicament, Yelana? He is the Joyful Hotelier, yes, but he is the god of the road and of the traveller, and he disdains those who prey on the weak and those who participate in acts of banditry. So let us deliver some divine judgment on these bandits!" Zaria leads the way into the chaos of the dining car and towards the business car. "I figured you'd say that." Yelana followed Zaria into the Business class car. 9 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: "Aaaaaaa!!!" Yelana flipped her rifle over her shoulder, aimed it at the Amourai, then fired. "<Set to stun - Target Locked.>" Replacing her rifle, Yelana turned to the attendant. "Get them to safety, and make sure they don't get trampled!" 9 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: "Some sort of explosion further forward in the train. Please Mam, evacuate further into the rear cars. The door to engineering should hold any residual danger at bay." "No shit. Just get yourself and the passengers out of here - We'll handle this." 5 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: "I don't know what you mean? Why would someone attack engineering? Are we being robbed, are we all going to die?" Yelana put her hand on the attendant's shoulder. "Just pick up that Amourai, get to baggage, and don't worry about it."

Yelana grabbed her rifle and swung it down, attempting to knock Soren's gun out of his hand. "Soren! What the hells?! What 'job'? You literally just said you don't care. . . " Yelana turned to the coral-haired woman. "I apologise for my companion's impulsiveness and aggression - He's. . . Honestly kind of a dick. Yelana Fennix, by the way - And you are?"
Kintobor Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 "Yelana! Back in line. The time for negotiations is over." Zaria barked. "Ready your weapon and hone your mind, we need you at our back."

"Biscuits and bullywugs! Come on Slice, you've got to be more subtle." "Sorry Pierce." "I'll be putting it in my report."

Yelana Athletics Proficiency vs. Soren Athletics Proficiency - (5, 2, 2) 1 Success vs. (2, 6, 1) 1 Success Yelana attempts to disarm Soren, but only manages to place herself in the line of fire.

Kintobor Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 4 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: "Excellent, well it's been fun folks." "Take one step and you will find my blade through your neck before you find your prize." Zaria replies. "The choice is yours. Get off this train and leave, or move further in and meet my blade in combat."
The Legonater Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Soren shrugs Yelana off him, frustrated that she interrupted the 'shooting' part of his shoot-first policy. What are you doing!? They literally said they weren't interested in talking it out! He swaps hands on his gun to put it further from Yelana, and then fires again at the invaders.
Waterbrick Down Posted September 3, 2021 Author Posted September 3, 2021 MM Note: @Classic_Spaceman Feel free to make one last speech prior to the fight, just wanted to get this up so you folks can start planning.

The Legonater Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Looks like mid-range is gonna be the way to go with these folks. I'm taking out the mage first - that should free us up for the rest of the fight. Soren slides into F3 and fires at Pierce.
Kintobor Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 OOC: Couple of things to note. 1. WBD, a bit of house keeping first, Zaria no longer has the folder, Soren does. 2. I agree in taking out Pierce: she'll wind up being the biggest threat on the board while alive. We should take her out while we have the initiative and remove her as a threat, and that is feasible with how low her skill is. However, I'm also concerned about Slice. His ability to potentially slip in behind us could cause trouble, so I recommend that I stay close to you two in case he tries to do so, allowing me to slip in and smack him around. I'm going to suggest I go first to allow me to inspire either of you two this first round and potentially in rounds to come, as I fear Zaria's close combat expertise is only going to come into play once Slice or Crunch show up in our faces, which I see Slice doing before crunch due to equipped weapons. Thoughts?

Kintobor Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Zaria inspires Soren than moves to G3 (assuming Yelana moves). "Focus your fire on Pierce! We move as one!" Initiative Order Zaria Soren Yelana
Waterbrick Down Posted September 4, 2021 Author Posted September 4, 2021 MM Note: @Kintobor Can you assign Yelana an action? I'll run the round tonight with it if @Classic_Spaceman hasn't posted.
