IC-OVER-Beauty and the Beast(Erica Spears/Gardner/Dawkins)

As the afternoon gets underway, the survivors from the T-Bone have been split up. The helicopter group must land at an airfield halfway to Omaha for refueling. Those still on the surface try desperately to defend the motel, while those trapped underground fight for their lives as they search for a way out.

Climbing down the tower-
Dawkins knew that without a gun in her hand, she was even more vulnerable. If Gardner saw or heard her climbing down, he'd get off the first shot and she might not survive to carry out her plan - though if she was hit she would probably drop the grenade inadvertantly. She reached the bottom of the fourth floor. Nobody else had moved, and the shadows remained precisely where they had been.

(Dawkins, roll Listen at 1/8 skill again.

Also, a second Climb roll will be required soon, but not yet. After looking at the rules for Climb, I saw that you'll need to make a roll every 10-30 feet. In this case, I'll call it 30 feet since conditions are good, so you'll need to roll again when you're halfway down.)

Dawkins continues to quietly andcarefully walk down the wall. The ringing in her ears preventing her from hearing much.

(With that Climb success, you can get the rest of the way without making any more Climb rolls.)

Climbing down the tower-
Dawkins saw Bob gesturing and arguing as she walked down the tower wall to the third floor, but she could not make out any words or see with whom he was arguing. She was now only two floors above ground level. Suddenly, Bob got a third, red eye in his forehead and he fell, all seemingly without a sound.

The helicopter's passengers opened their doors and climbed out. The two female scientists got out on one side, and Lucy Armstrong and Dr. Bernard Smith emerged on the other. Lucy gently put down an M-16, and Dr. Smith placed a handgun next to it. The blonde scientist in the white lab coat handed a laptop to the female doctor and put her Grease gun down. The lady doctor knelt over Bob and checked his pulse, then looked at the blonde sadly. Lucy began to shudder.

(Dawkins, you may roll Listen at 1/8 skill again.)

Dawkins stops and watches in horror as Gardner kills the big state trooper. She knows now that she has to protect the pilot or everyone is FUBAR. Rage wells inside her causing her to focus on the task at hand. She hears nothing.
She focus on the doorway below, but see's nothing.

(OOC: Am I within range to swing through the door in one swoop? Also, is Gardner doing all of this from within the tower?)

(You can't actually see Gardner, but if one of those shadows is his then he must be just inside the tower. You can swing inside the tower this round, but you will not also be able to attack. You will be able to Dodge, so you should roll Dodge if you're going to do that. There is a -10% penalty to the roll because of your armor. You may also switch weapons while you do this, as a grenade will not be ideal to use at close range.)

'Now or never, Simone' Dawkins thinks as she readies herself. She throws the grenade in her hand towards the doorway of the tower. The pin of the grenade is IN, however, she hopes Gardner will spend more time ducking for cover when he sees the grenade, than looking for the pin. Her throw does not exactly where she had hoped. (OOC: Are there throw scatter rules I should use for a miss? Waiting to see where the gredade lands per your description before completing the rest of her action.)

(When you miss with a grenade or other thrown object, I decide where it lands based upon how badly you missed. In this case, you actually missed by 16 since your armor also gives you a -10% penalty to Throw. For the rest of your action, you may walk stay where you are, quickly rappel down to the ground, or swing in through the door. You do not get to Dodge since the Throw roll counts as an attack.)

Climbing down the wall-
To her dismay, Dawkins saw the grenade bounce off of the wall not far from the open front of the tower. It hit the ground and rolled a short distance to the northwest.

Not sure if anyone saw the grenade, Dawkins draws her pistol and prepares to rappel though the door.

In the tower lobby-
Dawkins swung through the shattered tower doors as she drew her pistol. A few feet inside the entrance, Gardner stood with his M-16 pointing outside and smoke still coming from the barrel. In front of him were Erica and Kathryn, both of them with their arms bound behind their backs with duct tape and their mouths sealed with the same. Kathryn had blood on her blouse, but she did not appear to be injured.

Gardner instinctively opened up on Dawkins with a three round burst that was deadly accurate. All three bullets hit her: one in the right arm, one in the chest, and one in the gut. They cut through her body armor like it wasn't even there. She was dead before she hit the ground.

(Sorry, but it seems like Gardner keeps getting all the luck. Even if it had been a normal impale, the extra 2d8 from the first bullet would have killed her as well even with minimum damage and the reductions due to armor. Since you threw the grenade, you don't get to roll Dodge.)
