Round 29: Grocery GangfightLocation: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)Time: Early Morning Twinwolf stays in the gas station store to converse with the clerk.
"Perhaps because of the remote location? While I can't imagine they care for human life, if it were a big city there would likely be a much larger response, and as far as I'm aware they're not invincible." The clerk places his hands down on the counter, shaking his head. "They said it was random, totally random. It could have been some forest or mountain where no one was around. But it had to be here, where people were trying to live their lives and raise families. And now people are homeless, people are dead. And there ain't nothing nobody can do about it. Christ, even the army wouldn't know how to deal with a guy that could make tornadoes or turn into a dragon. I just hope they all leave, find somewhere else to busy themselves with killing each other." The clerk picks his head up and looks at Twin, narrowing his eyes. "Say, I don't recognize you. Which direction did you blow in from?"
Nunzillor shakes her head, this might not be as easy as she once thought.
"Charge, now!" Nun skiis through the road, onto the asphalt and through the open doors. (Perception vs. Stealth: 10-1 vs. 9) Nunzillor swings her head around in an effort to spot her enemies, her eyes quickly adjusting to the darkness. She stares into the space behind the cash register, nearly jumping when she sees an armed Hawk looking back at her, a stick of celery already between his teeth. (Dexterity: 5 vs. 3) Nunzillor gets her gun up and into position slightly before Hawk can do the same. (6+2 vs.
Hawk ducks and a single rifle bullet hits the end of the celery stalk, ripping it out of his mouth, but leaving him otherwise unharmed.
The two standing members of the Assault Team charge the building, while the third stays behind to complain further about his injuries. (Perception: 4-1 vs. 10) The two of them rush in and begin firing wildly, utterly destroying cans and plastic packages with ammunition while not actually hitting anyone. Nunzillor has to duck herself to avoid friendly fire.
It is only at this point that the Mobile Team arrives at Downtown Denmark. "Assault Team, what's your status?"
In the ensuing chaos, Hawk grabs a turnip out of his bag. The two Assault militia cease firing for a moment, "Boss, you okay?" (1 vs. 4) Hawk pops out from under the counter and fires at the militia, trying to down each of them with a single shot and failing to injure either on both attempts. (9 vs. 10) Right before they retaliate, Hawk grabs the cash register and slides it in front of his position before ducking beneath it, letting the device absorb and deflect bullets as he hides.
Ukranian throws her pistol to the ground and goes on the offensive, rushing out of the shadows at Nunzillor. (5+2 vs. 7) Ukranian leaps and flying spin-kicks the back of Nunzillor's head. However, due to the puffy nature of Nun's clothing, she misestimates the location of her target and lands a blow on the rebel's hoodie, slightly damaging her clothing but doing no actual damage to her body.
Abstract turns off the gas in the truck to prevent it from running further and watches over the driver as he awaits help. The ambulances arrive quickly, and a pair of emergency responders pulls the driver out from the truck. As one performs CPR on him, the other asks Abstract, "Do you know him?"
Execute dives into the waters below to purge himself of the fire. He slows as he gets closer to the sea, not wanting to descend hundreds of feet and the hit the water at a blistering speed. Execute splashes and then resurfaces, his head bobbing over the water and his body soaked. His wing has become extinguished and the invaders are too far away to spot him. He swims away, surfacing about a quarter mile down the shoreline behind a cluster of rocks. As he shakes to dry himself out, he realizes the unforeseen consequences of his dive in that his wings are now too heavy to fly with and will remain that way until they dry off.
Greatness continues slinking in the shadows as he makes his way closer and closer to the source of the gunfire. As he gets closer, he watches as loud exclamations and gunshots go off in a single one-story building, the darkness within occasionally illuminated by gunfire. Seeking an opportunity, he moves towards the back of the storefront, careful to avoid any attention, which is easy considering the fighters inside are more considered with each other than what's going on beyond their space. On the rooftop of the grocery, Greatness stands by the front with one foot on the edge, peering down. He holds a Javelin in one of his hands, ready to attack, though while he is up there, no one comes back out of the store.
Salsacookies makes some modifications to his Barbell by taking all the weights on one end and adding them to the other side, in effect turning the Barbell into a giant hammer. (Barbell + Modification = Barbell Hammer) The hammer weighs well over 300 pounds, and is even harder to lift due to its lopsided nature; anyone below Salsacookies level of strength and muscularity would have an extremely hard time performing the tiniest of swings. Salsacookies walks into the city, dragging his weapon behind him like a giant club. He spots a snowmobile turning a corner and going into the town, which peaks his interest. As he climbs a nearby incline, he spots a man laying prone on top of it, armed with a rifle pointed into the city. (Stealth vs. Perception: 3-1[Heavy Object] vs. 2-1-1[Distracted/Focused]) Tiny Chuck is so engrossed in looking at what's going on down the road, he fails to hear the big man with the bigger weapon coming from behind him. Salsacookies, once he is basically on top of Chuck, greets him, "Buonasera." (1 vs. 4) Salsacookies, despite the claim of being the strongest man in the Italian Peninsula, struggles to lift his new contraption off the ground. "Oh God what the fu-" Chuck jumps to his feet and turns around, swinging his rifle at Salsa. (3 vs. 5) The rifle stock harmless bounces off of the bodybuilders massive shoulder.
Elephant Parade dismounts his horse and pulls it by the reins, favoring one foot as he attempts to find help. Approaching one of the police officers, he requests the aid of a veterinarian. "Sorry sir, but we're trying to get folks out of here first, priority on people. Let me see...do we have a veterinarian around here?" One of the health-aid workers steps forward, stating that while she was helping treat people, she is specialized in veterinarian work. She takes a look at the horse, "Poor thing, it's needs help right away, I have some things left over." The people around Elephant and the vet are explicitly angered at this, the overall frustration coming from the fact that she is using her energy and resources to help a horse while there are people in need of assistance.
