CH1-15 Home Invasion.

[ghill]

Boom Stick Liz:,Yes Liz can get a shot off this round and yes it is point blank range.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz knows that the shotgun will make a lot of noise, but they're past the point where stealth will work. She's never tried to kill anyone before, but she knows that it's either him or them, and she's well aware of what he could do to her if given the chance. She doesn't intend to give him that chance. She fires wildly, the stress of the situation disrupting her aim.

[ImpInTraining]

Greg doesn't involve himself with the gunplay, instead he moves out any possible line of fire and moves back to a place where he can watch the group's back side from relative seclusion.

[ghill]

In comparison to the two moderated automatics Liz's shotgun is akin to a cannon being fired. There is a deafening roar followed by the small hallway filling with a cloud of wood and plaster as Liz blows a chunk of the bannister out of the wall in her haste. The tall man at the top of the stairs stumbles back round the corner out of sight.

Greg,There really isn't anywhere to take cover - if Greg wants to make sure nothing/no one is going to sneak up on them then he'd be better of checking the rest of the downstairs is clear.

Hit not hit?,[b]Spot hidden[/b] to see if the man is injured in which case his stumble backwards was clearly a result of injuries. - Jacob clearly thinks he's hit him and Greg thinks he hit him.

[ImpInTraining]

ooc,That's what Greg does then. They can't all be poking their guns up the stairs.

[Mr. Handy]

While her aim may be terrible, Liz has no problem determining if the others have had better luck.

[ghill]

OOC: Liz:,Liz believes the man was hit twice in the torso, she pretty sure he's out of the fight.

Do we get up there after them? says clay hesitating at the bottom of the stairs clearly looking at Jacob or Liz for some direction

[Mr. Handy]

"Upstairs, quick," hisses Liz. "He's hit twice and down for the count. We need to get up there before the others are fully awake."

[royya]

God...
Jacob says as Liz's shotgun roars.
Keep it quite.
Jacob hastes forward with gun pointed forward to the man that fell with intentions to punch the man in the face if the man is not neutralized. If the gun the man held fell on the ground, Jacob will pick it up with his sleeve to avoid his finger prints from being on the man's gun.

[ghill]

As Jacob scrambles up the stairs closely followed by Clay he hears a door slam and a great deal of shouting. At the top of the stairs he finds the man still concious but lieing in an expanding pool of his own blood and breathing in very short and very rapid gasps.

All:,Listen roll to tell how many people are up here.

Jacob:,[b]First aid[/b] or [b]Medicine[/b] roll to tell what state the man is in.

Greg:,There are a number of options as far as where does Greg go next - on the his left are two doors one to the lounge and one to the kitchen (which in turn leads to a breakfast room) Directly infront of him is the front door, a door to a storage cupboard and the downstairs WC

[royya]

If he was innocent he wasn't holding a gun and speaking a foreign language that must be Albanian.
Jacob thinks to himself. Jacob decides to knock the man out and punch him in the face.

Fist (1d100=81)
First aid (1d100=91)

[ghill]

leaning over the man Jacob's punch lands with little or no force but the man takes another shallow breath and then dies.

Jacob:,SAN check please to watch a man die before your eyes. 0/1

[Mr. Handy]

Liz creeps upstairs following Jacob, alert for any sign of trouble.

[ghill]

Liz thinks,There are probably three people up here one of whom is a woman, who she thinks is in the main bedroom

[Mr. Handy]

"I can hear three people moving about," whispers Liz. "One in the main bedroom sounds like a woman."

[ghill]

Almost immediatly after Liz speaks there is a a hoarse shout from the bedroom and a scream. The hallway gets visibly brighter as the light shining under the door of the master bedroom visibly increases.

A shot crashes over Jacob's head striking the wall just above his head and showering him with plaster dust. (Shot came almost certainly from the room to the left of the master bedroom)

Clay shoots back, the sound of the suppressed shots dwarfed by the crack of the bullets hitting the door.

[royya]

SAN (1d100=65) - success

Jacob ducks on the ground and motions Liz to do so as well.
He scans the man he killed for any signs of tattoos to he can assure that the denizens of the house are connected to the investigation.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz immediately drops flat to the floor and trains her shotgun towards the room to the left of the master bedroom.

OOC,Can I shoot too this round? If so, is it point blank?

[ghill]

Jacob, Clay and Liz crouch close together at the top of the stairs as the door to the master bedroom bursts open and a large ball of flame bounces across the hallway. At roughly the same time the doorway to the left opens enough for Liz and Clay to see a figure leans out with a gun in hand.

Jacob can see the mans chest and arms are covered in tattoos.

OOC: Liz shooting,Yes, subjectively time has passed while I've spoken about events.

OOC: Greg,What is Greg up to is he actively scouting some of these rooms?

[Mr. Handy]

Liz instinctively fires at the gunman leaning out of the door at which she was aiming. She is not the world's best shot, but she can hardly miss from this close. Her eyes go wide as her target is shredded by buckshot.
