OOC,To give you an idea of the location, the kitchen is directly below the Colonel’s study at the back of the house.

Stealth 63%,[dice]0[/dice]

Reg & Helena,Reg and Helena rush after the Inspector and the Colonel, and race down the stairs. They can hear the shouts of the constable who is stationed in the kitchen.

Preston,In the dark, Preston can just about see a figure lurking at the back of the house. The head is a strange shape… He can hear Faez protesting to Harry behind him.

Harry,[b]Faez[/b] barks at the men and they put down the coffin. He moves towards [b]Harry[/b], and his face is angry. [color=#804000] "We must leave!”[/color] he shouts.

OOC,To be clear, Harry never pointed his revolver anywhere other than the ceiling, in readiness for the presumed attack from outside. Nor has he otherwise threatened Faez besides watching him carefully, and politely but firmly asking his workers to put the coffin down.

Psychology,Psych roll to figure out what's going on with Faez and his chaps?

Harry & Preston,[ooc]You can roll if you like. I amended my earlier post.[/ooc] [color=#804000]“I told you! We cannot destroy the mummy in that way!”[/color] [b]Faez [/b]shouts at [b]Preston[/b]. The men behind him stand, uncertain of what to do.

Reg & Helena,There is a constable on duty at the front door. [color=#000080]“There’s someone outside here too! I saw ‘im!”[/color] he says. [color=#000080]“There!”[/color] shouts the constable, pointing at something outside the window. [ooc]You can roll Spot Hidden to try to see the figure.[/ooc]

Psych,Harry's Psychology skill is 70% and he rolls... [dice]0[/dice]

OOC,I was in the front of the house, looking out the nearest window on that side of the house. Spot Hidden roll (55% skill) looking out the window: [dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Yes, please have Helena roll. The posts should all be accurate now - Craddock & Hollingsworth & a constable in the kitchen, Reg & Helena & a constable at the front door, which has windows adjacent to see outside. Harry & Preston are in the study, with Faez and his men.

Reg & Helena,Suddenly a jackal –masked figure looms out of the fog and shambles to the window where [b]Reg [/b]is watching. It begins banging hard, as if to break the glass.

Reg & Helena,[color=#0000BF]“I’ll go and get ‘im”[/color] says the constable, brandishing his revolver. He starts to open the door.

Reg & Helena,The policeman nods uncertainly and steps back. Just as he does so, a powerful force hits the solid front door, hard enough to splinter the frame. The wood buckles. At the same time, the glass where the masked figure is pounding cracks. There is another, even more powerful assailant. The door won’t last for long. [color=#0000BF]“What the bloody hell is that!”[/color] cries the constable in fright.

Harry & Preston,[b]Faez[/b] mutters a few words in his own language. As [b]Preston[/b] moves to the desk the larger of [b]Faez’[/b] two helpers, who is nearest, reaches into his jacket and pulls a huge knife. He makes straight for the doctor. [b]Faez[/b] grabs at [b]Harry’s[/b] stick to pull him off balance, but can’t get purchase. However, his other hand goes to his pocket and comes out with a small revolver. [ooc]Faez Grapple 25: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/611401]Grapple[/url]: [u]1d100[/u] [b]39[/b] Both Preston and Harry have weapons drawn - they can attack now. Best of British luck.[/ooc]

OOC,You can have another shot with a revolver Rooter. And we should count it as point-blank range. Same goes for Harry.

Reg & Helena,The window breaks in a shower of glass and the jackal-masked figure begins to climb through. At the same time, the pounding on the door continues. It is solidly built, but it will give way very soon. [ooc]The investigators can open fire, at point-blank range, if they wish. Please specify the caliber of your guns.[/ooc]

Handgun 10%,[dice]3[/dice] [dice]4[/dice] [dice]5[/dice]

Damage,[dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice] [dice]2[/dice]

Handgun,Harry takes a shot at point blank with a base skill of 80% doubled and rolls... [dice]0[/dice]

HelplessBystander,You can’t roll for damage until you’ve rolled for Firearms. You need to roll d100 3 times and match it with your character’s skill. As you're specifying a particular body part, please roll at -20 your usual skill. But you get the bonus for shooting point blank! If you hit, roll again for damage.

Harry & Preston,[b]Harry’s[/b] shot catches [b]Faez[/b] square in the chest and he collapses to the ground, barely alive. [ooc]Faez HP 13: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/611713]Firearms damage[/url]: [u]1d10+2[/u] [b]12[/b][/ooc] The younger man who was behind the larger man now attacking Preston has drawn his own weapon. He aims at Harry and fires three times. [ooc]2nd Thug Revolver 30: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/611714]Revolver[/url]: [u]1d100[/u] [b]43[/b] [url=http://orokos.com/roll/611715]Revolver[/url]: [u]1d100[/u] [b]33[/b] [url=http://orokos.com/roll/611716]Revolver[/url]: [u]1d100[/u] [b]11[/b][/ooc] The first two shots go wild but the third hits [b]Harry[/b] in the chest. He falls down next to [b]Faez[/b], his face contorted in agony. [ooc].38 revolver 1d10: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/611717]Firearms damage[/url]: [u]1d10[/u] [b]6[/b] Harry is down to 4HP - he'll need to roll CONx5 or fall unconscious.[/ooc] Meanwhile, [b]Preston’s[/b] hammer falls on a dud. The thug with his huge knife is almost upon him, and [b]Preston[/b] is down to his last bullet. [ooc]Did you reload since that afternoon? You’re entitled to one more shot so go ahead. Make it count![/ooc]

Rooter,Success - can you roll damage?
