Jimmy hearing the footsteps and warning makes no delay in trying in hide.

10:36 AM
In the warehouse-
Luke held up three fingers before concealing himself behind a stack of crates. The others did likewise, but Wallace, Gary, and Kimberly weren't as good at hiding. Soft sounds began coming from the stairs below, and they were getting closer...

Down on one knee behind a crate, Gary will train his rifle on the doorway at the end of the warehouse, ready to fire if any skinheads emerge.

[Mr. Handy]

10:37 AM
In the warehouse-
Three skinheads reached the top of the stairs and fanned out into the warehouse, one with a sniper rifle and the other two with shotguns. "Intruders!" shouted one with a shotgun, as the two of them spotted some of the people poorly concealed behind the crates. Kimberly reacted quickly, taking a shot at the one with the shotgun who hadn't shouted with her own shotgun. The blast narrowly missed him, passing harmlessly over his shoulder. The sniper whirled and fired at the muzzle flash, sending a bullet whizzing past Wallace. Wallace returned fire with his own rifle, hitting him in the gut. The sniper grunted but did not seem badly hurt.

"The most dangerous game," said Luke, drawing a bead on the skinhead who had shouted the alarm. He had brought down many animals before, and it was different hunting a target who could shoot back. Only this one never would. Luke's shot was deadly accurate, striking him in the heart and sending him sprawling to the floor, where he lay motionless in a spreading pool of his own blood. Bo fired at the sniper with his shotgun, but he had traded accuracy for speed, and the blast went wide.

The range is normal, so please roll Rifle and let me know whether you're shooting at the sniper or the remaining one with the shotgun. If you hit, you can go ahead and roll for a hit location and damage. After that it will be the shotgun skinhead's turn to shoot. [b]Jimmy[/b], you may post your action now, though it will take effect after he shoots.

[Starspawn338]

No words. Looks like it's life or death. Gary will aim at the skinhead with the shotgun and squeeze off a shot.

In the warehouse-
Gary's shot missed by a couple of inches. The skinhead returned fire, but at Luke, apparently having decided that he was the greatest threat. His blast was deadly accurate. The hunter took it square in the chest and went down, shot full of holes.

[Mr. Handy]

10:37:12 AM
In the warehouse-
Without a weapon other than his pocket knife, Jimmy remained behind cover. Wallace winced when Luke went down, but Kimberly focused on what she had to do to survive. She aimed at the skinhead who had just killed Luke and squeezed the trigger, but the shotgun chose the worst possible moment to jam. The sniper, seeing she wasn't as much of a threat, fired at Bo instead, only to hit the crate behind which he was hiding. Wallace's rifle was in working order, and he shot the skinhead carrying the shotgun, severing his arm at the shoulder. The skinhead passed out from the blood loss.

Sanity loss is 0/1D6, so you lose no Sanity if you succeed or 1D6 Sanity if you fail. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must roll Idea. If you succeed at the Idea roll, you will go temporarily insane. Otherwise, you may act freely this round. [b]Bo[/b] is immune to Sanity loss in this case, so he does not need to roll. [b]Gary[/b], it is now your turn to fire as long as you do not go insane. Then [b]Bo[/b] will shoot, and then [b]Jimmy[/b] can act. [b]Jimmy[/b], you can go ahead and post your action now.

Gary watches in disbelief as Luke gets shot. He can't really see through the crates to wear Luke falls but he knows the kid is okay. He probably had a bulletproof vest on. Yea, Luke's going to be okay.

[Mr. Handy]

10:37:24 AM
In the warehouse-
Gary's shot went wide, perhaps due to the demoralizing effects of seeing Luke fall. Bo shot at the sniper, but he missed. The sniper turned and fired at Wallace, only to miss as well. Wallace returned fire, but the bullet zipped past his ear.

[Starspawn338]

Gary steadies himself and shoots again at the remaining skinhead but can't seem to hit him.

10:37:36 AM
In the warehouse-
Bo's shotgun blast finally found its mark, and he blew the sniper's head clean off his shoulders. Kimberly set to work clearing her jammed shotgun, finishing the job in record time.

Jimmy looks out from his hiding place "We all good? Sorry I had to take the backseat there, but I will grab a weapon to be more useful next time". Jimmy moves towards the shotgun dropped by the skinhead, and searches for ammo.

[Starspawn338]

Gary looks around for a minute after the firing stops, still full of adrenaline from the short battle. This is very unnerving and doesn't seem real but he focuses on finding the hostage women.

"Let's keep moving. There might be more of them but we have to free their captives."

[Mr. Handy]

10:38 AM
In the warehouse-
Kimberly reloaded her shotgun to replace the two shells she had fired, and Bo did likewise with three shells.

Jimmy retrieved the shotgun from the skinhead that Luke had killed, who hadn't had a chance to even fire. It was a pump-action shotgun, fully loaded with five shells, and the dead man had another ten in his belt pouches that Jimmy claimed. He also had a 9mm automatic pistol, two spare magazines for it, and a switchblade on his belt, so Jimmy took those too.

Kimberly nodded at Gary's statement. "You're right, let's keep moving," she said. "It's too bad about Luke, but there's nothing more we can do for him. We can still save those girls, though. Bo, you take point. I'll be right behind you." The group headed for the stairs leading down.

"Did you hear that?" whispered Wallace. "Sounds like moaning, from behind us."

Kimberly looked back and gasped. Behind them, Luke sat up, his eyes red with hunger...
