<<DICE>> Ahana rolls Perception+Alertness, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (3 3 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 5 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (1 3 4 6 6, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) It's closing time at the gun store. We've passed the posted closing hours of the shop, and are now at the time when Ahana would be expected to finish up with whatever projects she was working on, handle the money, and do whatever else she has to do before going home for the evening. Though when she does leave, she notices a car that's been parked across the street all day. A large, black sedan with tinted windows. "Closing tiiiime, da dah daaah da dee... " hums Ahana as she finishes her cash out and heads to the door. She tugs lightly at her hair when she sees the sedan is still parked there and narrows her eyes. Away from the door again, she conceals her usual pair of pistols beneath her coat and her black tactical knife at the small of her back before stepping out the front door with a devil-may-care stride. She is headed across the street, straight for the sedan. As soon as she's halfway across the street walking right toward them instead of to her car, the black sedan can be heard to start up. Chuckling to herself, Ahana shakes her head and keeps on walking right towards them. She even waves, showing bright white teeth as she grins. SCREECH. The car takes off, and whips right around a corner. Laughing, full on uproariously laughing, Ahana flips them the bird before heading back over to her truck. She wipes a tear from her eyes and continues on to the cab of her vehicle. Before getting in, however, she bends down and searches the underside of the truck for any devices that might have been planted. <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Perception+Technology, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 2 successes (1 2 6 9 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Ahana searches all around, but there she finds nothing. The car doesn't come back right away, either. Stepping into truck, Ahana pulls out with the intent of driving to CeeCee's pub for a late dinner. She keeps an eye out, since she knows she's being watched now, but by and large she appears carefree. Unless Ahana looks at her cameras, this will be entirely unbeknownst to her, but beknownst to us, that the team returns after she's well out of sight. This time they pull right up in front, and bring a van with them. An angle cutter is used to get through the gate, and they move in with hand trucks. The three men have masks on their faces, gray slacks, and beige member's only jackets. The masks are of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Carter. However they don't go for the guns. They go for the ammunition. Seeking to absolutely clean her out. Haul away every last bullet, shell, and magazine. Likely there is a notification sent about movement, which causes Ahana to pull over somewhere to look at her phone. She watches the team enter her gunshop, her home, and quirks an eyebrow. It doesn't take her long to turn around and head back to the house... though she will park a ways away and return from there on foot. The team has obviously been casing the place for a while. They know the layout of the building. They know what kinds of things she publicly stocks and sells. They've practiced, too. The men move with coordination, loading up every last box of ammo onto the van. So even though they only have 10 minutes, it's enough time for them. The van is sealed, and the men get back into their cars just as Ahana comes near enough to see. Calmly stepping around her truck to the lock box in the back, Ahana pulls out her Barrett M107A1 Sniper Rifle .50BMG. She sets it on top of her truck's cab using a standing marksman position and references any flags or wind speed meters for the wind direction before taking a shot at the van's back tire. Of course... on a hit, this gun will probably destroy the rim down to the axel not just the tire... <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 5 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 4 successes (2 8 8 10 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Ahana knows she's been spotted when she'll hear some shouting, and an arm points out from the sedan her way. The start up the engines and try to take off. <<DICE>> Ahana rolls /willpower dexterity+firearms, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (2 4 8, Specialty: Yes, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls dexterity+firearms, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 4 successes (1 2 4 7 7 8 8, Specialty: Yes, Willpower: Yes) [POOL] Ahana spends 1 points of Willpower. Reason: Automatic Success <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 3 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> FAIL (2 3 4, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) She's chewing bubblegum as she lines up her shot, taking the time to aim but not much more than that. Lined up on the tire with her scope, figuring the range by eye and the wind direction by the terrain she unleashes the first thundering shot of her little war... just as she blows a bubble and it pops. Bolt levered, brass expended, she lines up on one of the burglars' other vehicles. <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 2 dice, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> FAIL (1 9, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> 1 success (5 5 6 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) When the tire of the van explodes, that driver is able to bring the van to a safe stop at least. But the driver of the sedan is not nearly as competent, and just flat out rear-ends the van. CRASH! Hiss.... Ahana can't see anything going on inside the sedan though, as the windows are tinted. Seeing the cars tangle up, Ahana raises both brows and puts her .50 cal back in the lock box in her truck bed that it came out of. She then pulls her Mossberg Model 500 Tactical 12ga Shotgun from the box and calmly walks towards the burglars' vehicles while loading the weapon's magazine with rubber slugs. There is nothing particularly menacing about how she walks; she is collected, perhaps too comfortable, like someone taking a stroll right out of the fires of hell onto the night time street. /=====/ Initiative /===============================================================================================================/ Name Total = Roll + Pool (Dexterity+Wits) NIXON 14 = 8 + 6 CARTER 13 = 7 + 6 REAGAN 13 = 9 + 4 Ahana 12 = 4 + 8 /==================================================================================================================================/ Coming up on the blind spot at the rear driver's side of the car, Ahana brings the butt of her shotgun in at a sharp angle to strike the passenger glass in an attempt to smash it out. <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 9 <<DICE>> 1 success (7 7 7 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Melee, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 5 successes (2 8 8 8 9 9, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Behind the tinted window, the men had a plan. One of them hits the rear window, to break it open, and the other takes a shot at her with a handgun. But when Ahana makes her move, it disrupts enough that the shot misses, and lodges in the bulletproof glass of Ahana's shop window. <<JUDGE>> Arthur rolls up a new initiative order. /=====/ Initiative /===============================================================================================================/ Name Total = Roll + Pool (Dexterity+Wits) CARTER 16 = 10 + 6 NIXON 12 = 6 + 6 Ahana 11 = 3 + 8 REAGAN 9 = 5 + 4 /==================================================================================================================================/ Carter gets out of the van, holding the door open and gets behind the van. He's readying to shoot, but keeping himself covered. Nixon levels to shoot... <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 2 successes (4 5 9 9, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Melee -2, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 4 successes (6 7 8 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Firearms -3, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (1 3 8 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) On the one hand, it's like a dance the way Ahana moves; precise and almost as though pre-choreographed. On the other, this is a real firefight, not a movie. She doesn't waste motion or power on unecessary flare, the butt of her Mossberg cracks solidly against Nixon's skull before she simply uses the same movement to lower her barrel at Carter and fire. If the car door hadn't been in the way... or she had been using ammo besides rubber slug, Carter would probably be picking himself up off the ground... or be ground to hamburger. ... but Nixon is disrupted by the shot he takes by Ahana, getting knocked back onto his back on the back seat of the car, the back of his head slamming back. He groans... and is dazed. Reagan gets up, and readies his weapon to shoot at Ahana, climbing out of the car and not able to shoot just yet either, having been out of position thanks to Ahana's move.. <<JUDGE>> Arthur rolls up a new initiative order. /=====/ Initiative /===============================================================================================================/ Name Total = Roll + Pool (Dexterity+Wits) CARTER 14 = 8 + 6 Ahana 11 = 3 + 8 NIXON 7 = 1 + 6 REAGAN 6 = 2 + 4 /==================================================================================================================================/ <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 3 dice, difficulty 10 <<DICE>> FAIL (5 5 7, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Carter does his best to take the shot from behind the door, but he misses widely, sending a spray of shot into a different window of Ahana's. But he's not getting out from behind there. <<DICE>> Ahana rolls dexterity+firearms, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> FAIL (1 2 2 3 7 7 7, Specialty: No, Willpower: Yes) [POOL] Ahana spends 1 points of Willpower. Reason: Automatic Success Thrusting her shotgun through the window, the glass sprays outwards with the blast of Ahana's shotgun as she drops down. She reaches to her shoulder holster, and snarls, "Okay assholes. Let's get tactical." <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 5 dice, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> 2 successes (6 7 7 10 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 2 successes (1 8 9 9, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) [HEALTH] Ahana takes 2 Lethal damage! She is Hurt! <<JUDGE>> Arthur rolls up a new initiative order. /=====/ Initiative /===============================================================================================================/ Name Total = Roll + Pool (Dexterity+Wits) NIXON 16 = 10 + 6 CARTER 13 = 7 + 6 Ahana 10 = 2 + 8 REAGAN 6 = 2 + 4 /==================================================================================================================================/ <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> 2 successes (5 7 9 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Carter climbs back into the van. It's slow going, since he's trying to keep covered at all times, but he gets in, and slams the door behind himself as he crawls to the driver's side once more. <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Arete (-1 from Wounds), difficulty 4 <<DICE>> 1 success (3 8, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls arete, difficulty 4 <<DICE>> 2 successes (2 4 5, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Firearms (-1 from Wounds), difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 4 successes (1 6 6 7 8 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls 11 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (1 1 1 2 4 4 4 6 6 8 8, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Blood founts over Ahana's shoulder and face, as just as much glass as shot strikes her. It's not a deep wound, but multiple lacerations and the penetration of buckshot into her tissues does leave her snarling in pain. Gritting her teeth through the pain, Ahana flips her goggles down out of her hair and aims at Reagan with her .45 pistol. Her gun reports as she finds the best angle to fire from through the car... and only wings the side of Reagan's neck. <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 3 dice, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> 1 success (3 3 8, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 2 successes (2 2 9 9, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) [HEALTH] Ahana takes 2 Lethal damage! She is Wounded! Reagan groans when he's hit, throwing him off and making it harder to shoot. But he does manage to hit her in the leg this time. Shots firing. At this point someone may be calling the police. Is Ahana in a good neighborhood?" <<JUDGE>> Arthur rolls up a new initiative order. /=====/ Initiative /===============================================================================================================/ Name Total = Roll + Pool (Dexterity+Wits) CARTER 13 = 7 + 6 Ahana 13 = 5 + 8 NIXON 11 = 5 + 6 REAGAN 10 = 6 + 4 /==================================================================================================================================/ <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 4 dice, difficulty 8 <<DICE>> 3 successes (3 8 9 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Carter has a difficult time getting the van to move, being burdened with Ahana's ammo, and being down one wheel. It's sparking back there, but the van have started to move. <<DICE>> Ahana rolls arete, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 2 successes (1 7 7, Specialty: No, Willpower: Yes) [POOL] Ahana spends 1 points of Willpower. Reason: Automatic Success <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Athletics (-2 from Wounds), difficulty 3 <<DICE>> FAIL (1 2 7, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Fishing one of her patented 'Can o' Whupass' devices from her coat, Ahana tries to lob it into the car. When it bounces back and into her laugh, she actually begins laughing uproariously and pulls herself partway to her feet with it still in her hand. Her shotgun dangles from its shoulder strap and her .45 is still in her right hand... That's good enough for Reagan. He drops his gun, opens the door, and yanks Nixon out, dragging him out and pulling him on hsi shoulder, yelling out for Carter to wait up and let them in. <<JUDGE>> Arthur rolls up a new initiative order. /=====/ Initiative /===============================================================================================================/ Name Total = Roll + Pool (Dexterity+Wits) Ahana 14 = 6 + 8 CARTER 11 = 5 + 6 NIXON 9 = 3 + 6 REAGAN 8 = 4 + 4 /==================================================================================================================================/ <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Stamina+Athletics (-2 from Wounds), difficulty 6 <<DICE>> BOTCH (1, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls stamina, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (2 8, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Arthur rolls 1 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (8, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) Dripping blood, dragging her wounded leg, Ahana's grin is macabre. She is still able to keep up with the van right now as they load, so she walks right up to the bumper and tries to shove the bomb up the tailpipe. She fumbles, though, with fingers slicked by crimson and her nerves on fire with pain, but she just raises up and points her pistol at the back of the van. It takes them a few seconds to get everyone in, the side door hanging open as Nixon falls in, and Reagan jumps in beside him. SLAM. Once they're in, Carter floors it, leaving a stream of sparks behind. Fortunately the molotov doesn't ignite just yet, it merely chipped when it landed after the failed stuffing attempt, but Ahana had better chuck it somewhere, or run. <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Firearms -2 (-2 from Wounds), difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 1 success (3 4 7, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls Dexterity+Firearms -3 (-2 from Wounds), difficulty 6 <<DICE>> FAIL (4 4, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) <<DICE>> Ahana rolls 8 dice, difficulty 6 <<DICE>> 3 successes (1 3 3 4 6 7 9 10, Specialty: No, Willpower: No) CRASH! When Ahana takes her last shots at the now somewhat-speeding van, she manages to shatter a rear window, which isn't going to be pleasant for the passengers. But Carter is in front, and he keeps on driving for dear life, out of sight.
