Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Marcus still can't see much, but holds position, ready to fire whenever the ambush begins.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
"They're about fifty yards away," whispers Amy. "I have a better chance to hit from this range, but they're far enough that I won't cause much damage. Still, maybe we should open fire so that we can keep shooting as they get closer. Let me know when I should start shooting."

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Amy hears Dr.Sánchez breathing calmly as he aims, a second later he stops breathing as he squeezes the trigger. The sound seems extremely loud as the night is so quiet.Mr. Handy wrote:

OOC: .30 Lever Action Carbine has 5o yrd base range - extreme success first roll, so i guess its dmg x2 = 24 |

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
When Sanchez opens fire, Amy does likewise. To her surprise, she actually hits her target with a powerful blast.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
At 50 yards from the main house, the kharisiri are still too far away from the small house to be within effective pistol range.
As shots ring out from the main house, Cynthia tries to remain calm and remains in position at a window overlooking the courtyard towards the driveway. Breathing deeply, she takes aim at the nearest bad guy within line of sight, ready to fire when he's within range.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
The Main House
7:12pm - Tuesday 22nd March, 1921
Dr. Sánchez's shot hits the kharisiri in the head, taking him down immediately. Hopefully it made a big enough mess that the creature won't get back up in a hurry.
A second later the other kharisiri is caught in Amy's shotgun blast, but keeps going, moving inside handgun range as it approaches the house.
The Gate
7:12pm - Tuesday 22nd March, 1921
Augustus Larkin walks nonchalantly up to the gate and steps through, as though out for an evening stroll. He pays no attention to the gunfire around him.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
OOC: Please could everyone who hasn't fired a firearm yet make a stealth roll. If you are going to shoot a firearm before my next update, then don't worry about the stealth roll. Shooting arrows allows you to still roll for stealth. |
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Cynthia gasps as she recognises de Mendoza, alongside another kharisiri.
"It's him!" she hisses.
She quickly leans behind the curtain as the murdering fiend turns his head towards the small house, noticing that John is also keeping out of sight.
Keeping behind the curtain as best she can, she shifts her aim to de Mendoza, waiting for him to come into effective pistol range.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
OOC: Is Cynthia waiting for de Mendoza and his buddy to come within 15 yards? They do look like they're heading for the small house - or at least skirting that way around the garden. |

OOC: Yes. Having missed most of her previous shots, she wants to maximise her chances of success this time around. She's also conscious of the short range of her pistol and the need for the element of surprise. However if de Mendoza looks like he's going out of sight, she'll risk a long-range shot. |

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Amy torch that headless one! He pulls out his pistol and moves to a west window to shoot the second wounded kharisiri, if i get the opportunity he will unload a burst of three shots.Raiko wrote:The Main House

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
As he hears the shots, Marcus decides that's his cue. Taking aim, he shoots the first kharisiri that he can see that comes into range.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Atauchi rapidly withdrew the binoculars from his eyes when he noticed Larkin's apparent change. His pulse began to race as he considered the ramifications. These kharisiri were somehow able to convert people into unearthly things like themselves.
When the shots began to ring out, the tracker took aim at de Mendoza and released an arrow.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
"He's fifty yards away, and the rest of them will get me if I go out there, especially alone," says Amy, drawing a bead on her target and firing the second barrel. Unfortunately, this blast goes wide.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Cynthia waits until de Mendoza is more or less within range, mutters a prayer and pulls the trigger.
She grunts in satisfaction as the back of her target's head blossoms in a bloody mess.
"That's for Trinidad you son of a bitch."

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
OOC: Amy could only see the remaining kharisiri near the large house. Larkin is out of sight unless she changes to a different window. De Mendoza and the remaining kharisiri are out of sight unless she changes windows and makes another spot hidden check. |
7:12pm - Tuesday 22nd March, 1921
Amy's second shot narrowly misses the kharisiri as he runs towards the corner of the main house, but as he rounds the bend he enters the sights of Marcus on the wooded hill. Marcus' rifle shot hits the kharisiri in the shoulder, but it manages to stagger on as far as a nearby window.
Pulling back a fist to smash through the glass, the kharisiri has but a moment to stare in surprise at the muzzle of Dr. Sánchez's revolver before the first of the three bullets rip into its chest and face.
The monster's lifeless body falls to the ground outside the window.
Meanwhile Jackson Elias takes one of the Molotov cocktails and clambers out of the window nearest to Amy.
"Cover me then Amy, we can't give them chance to heal!"
Jackson leaps out and runs towards the body of the first fallen kharisiri, lighting the rag as he runs.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
In the Garden
7:12pm - Tuesday 22nd March, 1921
Luis de Mendoza roars in rage as Atauchi's arrow buries itself into his thigh, the pain does not appear to bother the kharisiri though as he quickly makes his way around the edge of the garden to the small house, and the waiting gun of Cynthia.
"That's for Trinidad you son of a bitch."
De Mendoza's body hits the ground before the last word leaves her lips.
The final kharisiri lunges for the window that Cynthia shot through. John having drawn his own revolver now is ready and fires a single shot which hits the kharisiri in the chest. It hits the wall below the window as it collapses to the ground.
Across the garden, Augustus Larkin has stepped through the gate and is now strolling along the garden path towards the main house. He walks purposefully and continues to ignore the carnage around him.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Having stepped back to allow John a shot, Cynthia steps forward again to pump more bullets into the final kharisiri's head.
"You watch this one John - I wanna finish off de Mendoza."
She grabs a firebomb and heads for the door.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Dr.Sánchez reloads his gun and leaps out of the window. He will immolate the west window kaharisiri as fast he can.

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Her shotgun now empty, Amy climbs out the window after Jackson and goes with him, determined to protect him. She holds it in her left hand while drawing her pistol with her right. "I'll do my best," she says, "but my best isn't very good. Maybe I should light them up while you cover me."
