OOC,[b]Elliot[/b], you're getting a little ahead of yourself. It takes you one round to reach the wall, during which time [b]Valerie Soames[/b] gets a chance to climb it. [b]Valerie[/b], please go ahead and roll Climb now if you wish. On the following round, [b]Elliot[/b] may either fire, try to climb the wall, or try to help someone else climb, but only one of those. He may fire twice. The range will be forty yards, which means the roll will be at 1/4 skill. The 11 will just barely miss for the first shot, but you'll also get a second shot next round if you fire. If you do, please let me know which of the men you're shooting at, and feel free to roll damage if you hit.

As Elliot ran the rest of the way to the wall, Dr. Kirby tried to scale it, but she couldn't make any headway.

It had been decades, but Valerie Soames's SOE training came back to her, and she managed to climb up and reach the top of the wall just as Elliot arrived at the bottom. The three men were running towards them, but they were still about forty yards off.

Valerie Kirby, with a terrified expression on her face, kept trying to scramble up the wall, but panic made it difficult.
The three men kept running closer. They were now thirty yards away.

Valerie S. reaching down to help the other Valerie climb the wall. 62/65% (1d100=62) Success - unless Elliott's fumble affects the score of course
I lay the gun down on the top of the wall and reach down and call out for Valerie Kirby to grab my hand. "Here Dr. Kirby, grab my hand and I'll try and help you up." I attempt to pull her up but my strength is not what it used to be I'm afraid.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Elliot pulled a muscle as he tried to hoist Valerie Kirby up the wall, and she fell on top of him before she could grasp Mrs. Soames's hand. They landed in a heap on the ground, and it took them several precious seconds to regain their feet. In that time, the three men continued running closer, and they were now just twenty yards away.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
As Elliot reaches the wall and reaches down, a pain shoots up his leg. Ignoring the pain, he tries to lift Dr. Kirby up, but it was too much and the hamstring gives out. With a scream Elliot grabs his leg and falls to the ground.
.
He slowly climbs to his feet seeing the men closing in on him. Was there anyway to get over the wall at this point? Getting Dr.Kirby out was all that is on his mind.

I reach down and shout out "Dr. Kirby - grab my hand quickly! Don't Panic dear, but I do wish you would hurry nontheless." as I try to anchor myself on top of the wall.

Valerie desperately tried to get up the wall, but she still wasn't making enough progress. The men kept running closer, and they cleared half the distance. They were now just ten yards off.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Valerie Soames' roll Vs resistance 60/65% - success o/ (1d100=60)
Reaching down to the flailing doctor, my words seem to calm her a little and she manages to grasp my hand and I try to pull her up. The strain in my joints is excruciating and I cry out in pain as my arthritic elbow seems to give me the majority of the pain, but with good fortune she manages to ascend the wall to the top.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Valerie Kirby strained and grasped Valerie Soames by the hand. It took all of their efforts and Elliot's to boost her up, but the doctor managed to swing her leg over the top of the wall at last. Elliot was left alone at the base of the wall.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Elliot does a quick head count and does not like the odds in a gun fight. 3 vs 1 isn't what he calls a winning formula. So he attempts to climb the wall. "Get her out of here. I'll catch up." Knowing full well if he doesn't make it over the wall now, he may never make it.
.
.
.
Having made it to the top, Elliot looks back in time to see the men take a shot.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
As Elliot began to scale the wall, the men opened fire! Fortunately, they all missed badly, and he was able to vault over the rim of the wall and let himself down the other side before any of them could fire a second shot. Valerie Kirby lowered herself down by her arms on the outer side of the wall and dropped to the ground next to him, exhaling with relief. The old Ford Model T was still parked where they had left it, at the edge of the road.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Having seen Valerie Kirby start to lower herself down and realising that Elliott's words rung true about getting the target away being the principal aim, I reluctantly swing my legs over and try to lower myself down the far side. "Quickly now - the old Ford should get us away without too much trouble."
OOC: If there are any other cars around I suggest that Elliott disables them somehow - but quickly if not we'll all pile into my trust old Teresa (my name for the car) and fire her up and away we jolly well go. Any rolls needed Mr H? |

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Vaulting to the ground, Elliot looks around for any other cars as Ms. Soames suggests, and help Dr. Kirby into the car.
. .
"Time to leave ladies," and with that Elliot fires up the Ford and off we go.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Escape From Dunwich(Elliot Webb/Valerie Soames)
Valerie Kirby got into the back seat, while Elliot got behind the wheel and Valerie Soames also got into the car. Elliot started the Ford, and it ran smoothly, though it couldn't go very fast. There were no other vehicles visible nearby, though there had been a car further back up the road the way they had come, near the ruins and Virgil Soames's cottage. They followed the road southwest. A short distance ahead the road merged with another one going north and southwest.
Dr. Kirby leaned back and sighed with relief. "Thank you so much," she said. "I was afraid I'd never get out of there. We have to get back to UNIT so I can report to the Brigadier. Once he hears what I have to say, he'll need to organise the troops and move in on Dunwich."
