There is a flash of light and Angel finds herself wanting to hug Kyle for some reason.
"Did you really just kick the die of a god of luck?"

((Um...you might want to explain the emotional background of that desire, if any.))
Angel hugs.
"I did?"

"It says it right on the key ring."

"He means the room, not the key."

((No roll to follow Feyri? Cool.
Machine guns aren't that bad at melee range. Not compared to, say, rocket launchers or flamethrowers.))

Get Feyri's attention in some way that is not out-of-character, inappropriate, or embarrassing. Tugging on the leg of her garment or something like that.
"Miss Feyri? What should I be doing? When am I patrolling? Can I patrol with you? What happens if that mean guy sets things on fire again? What about these things?" (points to uniforms) "What are we supposed to be doing? Trying to find bank robbers and muggers and stuff? What do we do to them?"

Angel crosses her arms and pouts at Kyle. "Fine. I forgive you." She then kicks Kyle's die.

((I have returned from the land of sleep!))

Stella, however, has not returned from the land of sleep.

"Sorry folks. I guess having two people in your body can make some people get really tired, really fast! Also hi there."

"Interesting, it has the opposite effect on me."

>RhaTrinity has logged on
Rhad shows up....and does a double take when he sees the newcomer.
"....no."
He pushes his hood down, his mask to his face, and immediately runs from the vicinity.

"...Maria? Anima? Selina? Do you have any idea what this is about?"

"Fuuuuuu-"
Rhad runs for it.
"I don't know. Rhad's....not exactly telling us everything."

"He never tells us anything..."

Kyle walks down stairs with a huge smile on his face.
"It's a good thing I'm not catholic because then a priest would have something really interesting to listen to."

"Hi Kyle!" Angel kicks Kyle. "Why! Didn't! You! Stop! Me!?"

Nuriel follows Kyle at a distance, carrying an unconscious and half-dressed Conny. "Stop asking that, Angel, it's getting old."

Accuracy would help with range, specifically the smaller-target bit. The gravity-drop would still need to be accounted for, but it could do so with excellent precision.

You're using the gun wrong, it's supposed to be for situations that are kept vague and turn out one way or another based on choices, not arbitrarily changing the circumstances after the choice is made.

Anyways.

I'd recommend a strategy I believe is referred to as "kiting": Running and shooting. Sound like a plan?

More like RL ship combat. They have canons & muskets, not browning 50s.

I'm guessing that anyone with airships is going to have decent ranges on their weaponry. Especially given that what we've seen of their weaponry isn't exactly primitive. Rifled barrels aren't that important to range.

The elf ship won't be on the same side, they'd be near-tangent. Therein lies the danger. You take shots at a guy peeking out of cover with a musket, at range, and you expect the cover to come out of it unscathed?

The problem here is that I don't agree with your assumption.

The fact that they're all here is rather convenient, and the elven ship shooting at our house and sending a party to board it is also strange. They must have had some interest in the node, because discovering us was a discovery. They weren't here for us.

That doesn't mean they'd care. For all we know, the elves were interested in seeing if this node was worth mining and the dwarves just wanted to kill the elves.

They aren't too plussed by us being a dragon- we've heard of a dragon-king, and the reactions indicate we're not too common. Their technology may have made them cocky, and steampunk's instilled in me a tendency to assume everyone's nationalistic. Aka not estimating opponent's capabilities fairly.
"Sir, it looks like there's a...dragon on the rock."
"Destroy it too, the vermin's probably in-league with the elves."
That kind of thing.

We're clearly not a normal dragon, however. In any case, it would take quite a stupid dwarf to decide to antagonize a dragon for no real reason.

Do we really want to stay and have our hand forced like that?

As opposed to what, flying away and forcing our hand in a different direction, more strongly and certainly?

Anyways:

Climb over to his side of the rick and greet him.

Sorry for double post, but relationship grid.

Impressive.
Although Angel mostly dislikes Kyle in the ICOOC thread (which is mainly because of her attraction to him during both stints as a teenager); I'm not sure why Angel has a platonic bond with Rhad or Yuri; Nuriel doesn't dislike Angel specifically, she just resents being trapped inside little girls in general; Nuriel's actions while controlling Angel suggest a relationship with Conny similar to that with Kyle and Selina; Nuriel is terrified or at least scared of Demons Run; Kyle is a "target" of Demons Run similar to if less frequently than Selina; I don't think Kyle dislikes Angel; and I'm surprised more people don't dislike Nuriel.

I have a guess as to this universe's Camille.

Naaah. Stella IS based on some characters, some of whom are in LaFotM, but Camille is not one of them.

Oh.
...Angel, then?
