OOC: Bach switching weapons doesn't consume any AP, so he still has full. I assume he's skipping though, since he wants the whole group to be fit for fight.

And the sergeants table unfortunately suffered some casualties when you hacked off that last shield Son. See those fractures? They extend beyond sight into the wood. The rest of the table will fall apart if you try to hack out another shield. It's probably some great cosmic way of learning that greed isn't good for you. So we're in a new turn since Bach and Wubula opt not to move, and Sukuzu gets to redo his move. Everyone has full AP. time to figure out if you want to unlock that one door, or open the big blue one.

I'm for going through the western door too. We are in pretty good shape and still have a decent amount of healing items (assuming those cocktails work as advertised), and I wouldn't want to be attacked from behind when we go through the blue door (even though we could block the door for a few turns.)

Darn, I missed Son's edit on the previous page. I'll update once I get home, but til then consider this a new turn, Son one step to the west, all of you with full AP and go.

Let's have Wawa move S-open door-N, as he's currently the most useless of us, having spent most of his abilities.

OOC: Would I be able to do that, given that I would have to be standing on Bach while opening the door?

There is no problem with movement as long as you don't end up with no movement points left (MOV = 0) in an occupied square.

So yes, you can open the door, grant the the team insight in the western room so we can learn what's inside and then go back behind the wall where you'll be least exposed. Tactically its for the best. Go for it.

IC: Eager to act, Sukuzu couldn't wait for his comrades to make up their minds and leaps W, opens the door, and moves W again storming in, claws at ready. No time to waste.

EDIT: Postponing my turn...unless Dabir moves first execute my move accordingly /\

´This will make me sound like an idiot (moreso than usual), but I found out we're having guests today. So unless I by chance manage to squeeze in an update i nthe afternoon, there isn't going to be an update until tomorrow. And this after I told you guys to get a move on. My apologies  Undecided

EDIT: you've got to be kidding me. Our secretary seems to have lost my tax card, so I have to make a new one or face 60% tax on this months wages. No update today because corporate work sucks.

Well, at least Dabir will have time to move and Son will then be able to undo his move. Which isn't really good for me as I won't get so many XP. Angry

Eager to be helpful, Wawa squeezes past Mr. Bach and opens the door, diving aside as the room beyond is revealed.

Wawa opens the door, and smartly darts back. This is well, as the room reveals a host of enemies. These would no doubt be eager to rip the poor Arilou to pieces, shredding him where he stands. In Bach's eyes, the command centre hardly looks worth its name. Sure, there are some electronic terminals on the walls, giving  off electronic beeps. But mostly the room looks like those seen so far. The room does also contains several bookcases, with what looks like both old traditional Ilwrath tomes and modern books.

But it is the enemy combatants that catch his eye. He has never seen demons such as these. Larger than the spiders encountered so far, these fierce creatures look like true Warriors. He knows that he has only split seconds to react before they can tear him to pieces.

OOC: Well, what did you expect invading the base command centre? That's hardly "Get in, find the scientist and get out", is it? There was a lock on that door for a reason. Good luck with the Ilwrath troops, I think you might need it. If you survive, there are some nice goodies here though. Also, keep in mind that you don't know how those Ilwrath weapon function yet.

OOC: I don't think we need to be afraid that these Ilwrath call for help, so we can take our time with this lot. But I would be wary of granades. And a ranged weapon with only one hit on as powerful an enemy... I recommend we do not get hit by that one. Actually, it might fire something granade-like, so we should also be cautious of a ranged effect.
I suggest we each fire our weapons at the first warrior, and then close and lock the door. We can then take positions at the south end of the hallway and to the room to the east. We can then get the rest at the chokepoint that is the door.
I also suggest that we wait with throwing granades; we may not want to burn down those bookcases, and I expect that they will only move closer to eachother if they have to go through that door.

I don't know about them not calling for help, the southern Warrior is heading toward the door after all (he's several squares west from where he was when we cast Psychic Radar. Still, at this point it's too late to stop him from this anyway.

We stand no chance against these unholy crusaders (without using expensive abilities, at least), so let's strategically retreat, and hopefully they'll come after us. If we flee through the eastern room, they won't be able to shoot us this turn (except for Wawa, but only with 3 strikes so he'll survive -- we could even have Wubula retreat south and then she'd take the damage instead of Wawa, but she'd also be able to attack the Warriors with full AP next turn, plus she has the Cocktails). Pity we haven't saved Mayhem, we'd have neutralized them all in one shot.

Alternatively, if we truly want to charge right now, we could use two grenades on the Synth, and Pheromones on the northeastern Warrior, but that's too risky and expensive.

Oh, and Luki: If an enemy is affected by Pheromones, does he start attacking his allies right then and there or does he wait until the enemy turn, and if it's the latter, does he move before or after the others?
