Mock battle (a session -1 to allow Zkia to learn combat through play)

Post by Crusor_Peter45 »

Peter waited silently as he looked at the mock training ground off in the distance. It was a small plywood village that could have had any number or types of ambushes for a small fire team in it. He was suppose to be a scout this he was suppose to be the one to spot them. However he couldn’t see anything from how far away they were. It was this fact that had been frustrating him more than it reasonably should have been for the last half hour and supposedly they had to continue waiting even longer. He understood the concept of trying to put them on even more of an edge by not telling them when they’d attack, but it was getting ridiculous at this point.

"Atten-SHUN!! The drill sergeant all but screams, his voice echoing across the surrounding fields. "C'mon, I wanna see straight backs and chins out!"

"Listen up ye 'orrible little lot, tis me job ta turn ye inta actual fighting soldiers fit ta serve Crown an' Country!" Continues the drill sergeant. "Co's right now yer a disgrace, a disgrace ta th'uniform an' a disgrace ta th'queen...may th'gods bless 'er cotton socks!"

"Right 'ere we 'ave a nice simple exercise, one that shouldn't be mentally taxing fer any o' ye!" States the drill sergeant as he gestures to the nearby mockup of a village. "Yer job is ta get this 'ere flag ta th'spot marked 'Objective Able'. Now some o' me lads, th'finest o' that finest fightin' force that is th'Royal Aero-Marines, are lurkin' in that there village an' they will try ta stop ye."

"We clear? Good...FALL OUT!"

Instructions
Place your characters at, or near, either Position 1 or Position 2 on the map.

Your job is to get to Position A, if any of you remain standing on that spot at the end of your turn your team wins.

Simples.

“Ugh finally some action around here!” Lucy grins to herself.

She closes her eyes and envisions herself moving alley to alley, double-tapping her foes with the efficiency of a mechanized stapler. Eventually rising atop a mound of marine corpses and firing machine guns in the air one in each hand. She giggles at her fantasy in a soft, perverse way akin to a dog drooling as it waits for a bowl of chopped sirloin.

Peter glanced over at Lucy @enigma42091 and stood there awkwardly. He hear her giggling and it seemed to send a shiver down his spin. Instead of moving away which was what he assumed would be the best option, he snapped his fingers a few times in front of her. ”hey...you ok there?” he then waited for a response but also tried to keep an eye on her hands. For some reason he was very worried she would try stabbing or shooting him for bothering her.

(When we are ready to start combat I would like to start at 1)

Walter looked up from his manual on 1st Casual Encounters. Such a scrimmage was par for the course. Fire lit in his belly and he simply stated, ”Understood Sir! When ready I’ll start at position 2.”

As you move into your starting positions, somewhere a whistle blows and a voice calls out. "Begin exercise!"

The buildings look about climbable, though whether the roofs will take any weight is another matter.

Instructions
1 Square equals 1 Pace.

Initiative order below, but people can post in any order and a round will finish when everyone has posted.

1. Venatus Vinco - Matthias Jordan - AH
2. GM - Aero-Marines KS
3. TCArknight - Thor Antonin - QS
4. MazH347 - Macie "Maz" Hudson (??) - QH
5. KahlessNestor - Lady Penelope Lane - JD
6. enigma42091 - Lucille "Lucy" Pepper - 10D
7. New_to_php_132 - Peter Crusor - 7C
8. Sgt 86Delta - Aleister Crowley - 6C
9. Pender Lumkiss - Walter Humperdink - 5S

Aero-Marines are a 3 to spot on a Notice roll.

Walter looked at the building in front of him wondering if it could hold his weight. After pulling out an instruction manual of mock battle building guidelines he still shrugged unable to determine his answer. Too much of a risk... Something my dad would do for sure. But I am not him. Instead he poked his out of the corner looking for the enemy. The drill instructor had specifically mentioned if we were left standing which implied something was out there.
Notice [dice:1gnshdzb]54298:0[/dice:1gnshdzb] wild [dice:1gnshdzb]54298:1[/dice:1gnshdzb]

He then moved slowly and cautiously keeping his back to the building on the right hand side until he went 30ft pressing himself into a corner and crouching down low. Next chance I get I am running across the way.

Training Exercise
Round 1

Penelope shook her head as the drill sergeant yelled at them. Men. Really. Did he really need to be such a brute about all of this? The task seemed simple enough.

Penny tied back her red hair and settled her goggles on her forehead, ready to be pulled down if she needed them to see. Then she opened up the odd looking pistol in her hand and slipped in a fresh chunk of glimmer rock, watching the lights on the device charge up with the strange energies of the rock. She slapped the casing closed and took a practice sight down the barrel, though she didn’t fire just yet. No sense wasting the energy. On her other hip was a normal revolver and a trench knife, and slung on her back was a regular rifle, along with her pack. She would rather be flying than running through this fake village.

When the go was given, Penelope darted toward the water trough and ducked down for cover as she scanned the area.

Lucy grins at Peter with a wild enthusiasm normally reserved for children arriving at the carnival or famished hyenas pointing out a fresh corpse. "Okay? Never better!"
She snaps the action of her SMG and lets out a howl,"READY OR NOT HERE I COME!!!" Charging down the street, she lets out a quick burst from the barrel. She breathes fire and thunder into the comparative silence before bracing herself against the crook of the eastern wall.

OOC Comments
I just realized I hadn't posted.... Starting from 1 with Lucy
Thor took a deep breath as the sergeant finished his speech. He hated this sort of training, he'd much rather be deep in a library looking for the next location to dig up this or that. Gunfire just wasn't his cup of tea, but he also knew that if he was going to be part of this squadron that he would have to come to terms with more military thoughts and objectives.

Lucy quickly ran ahead of him, spraying fire. Grinning at her capability to be distracting, Thor ruched ahead toward the corner of the trough and dropped beside it, keeping a cautious eye out for hostiles.

Peter lifted his shield and tapped it somewhat ceremoniously before he bent forward. Leveling he pistol over the raised and outstretched shield. He rushed past the other 3 as he went forward down the street using Lucy as a distraction before he began firing as he flew past her and took the lead. Checking down on small ally just ahead of her before he flipped around and aimed down over his shield. Watching for targets as gunfire filled the sounds of the streets

There is some movement from the soldiers you're up against, plus a handful of blank shots fired in your direction. The umpires observing the action call out hits based upon their judgement.

As the Sargent dished out their training orders Maz couldn't help but inwardly shudder as she noticed a few boulder sized drool soaring high from the port of the Sargent's mouth. Signing quietly she unwillingly listened to the instructions for their training course. She just did not understand why she, 'the medic' had to participate today. "Of course I understand it's for my own good." She mumbled to her self as she made her way to the second mark on the map.
Upon arrival she began scanning the training ground looking for any place that might be overlooked by the other team. She, was just not in the mood for any physical activity that day.
On the sound of the signal Maz followed after Walter stopping right behind him. She look at the building across from her deciding whether or not if it would be best to go there. Hearing multiple shots echo out through the streets she decided to take a risk and run for it.

Calculating Edge

Constantly looking for vantage points to observe more of the field, Crowley moves out after Walter and Maz.

Getting around one building corner and then another, Crowley realizes that all three of them are open targets.

Round 2

Ducked behind the water trough, Penelope peeked over the edge after she heard the marines firing. She could only see one Marine, so she aimed her rifle and fired at him, using the blanks provided rather than her Firebolt Pistol.

Thor kept his head down as the pretend enemy soldier fired off at him. I guess it’s supposed to get us in the mood for real combat if it happens, but still, I’d rather be in the library looking for ruins...

As Penelope fires over the top of the trough, Thor, still prone, leaned around the end and took a shot with his Carbine at the same Marine.

Crusor took a deep breath as he rose his shield and charged in at the marine a mere stone throw away. Blanks blasting away from his pistol at an attempt to convince the marine to stay in cover and not fire back. He almost instantly passed the corner of the house and blasted away as he hide behind his shield. His pistol stretching just past it to line his shot up perfectly in a spilt second before he blasted blanks into the man before him(or woman).

I know I originally said I was charging into close combat but I was actually short so 3 shots actually hit.

"Hit! Good hit!" Cried the umpire. Killed!

Two of the soldiers, rather unhappily as you notice, pull out red flags and wave them high over their heads as they walk out of the exercise area.

Lucille "Lucy" Pepper AH

Outwardly, Thor frowned, but inwardly he smiled. I guess sometimes better lucky than good.

He remained crouched behind the water trough as he took aim at the corner of the building where he’d seen Marines duck around, waiting to take a shot once they appeared.
