Pocahontas: Mean Streets
Pocahontas: Mean Streets
Doing set-up for the alleyway ambush.
Buildings are approx. 4" (24 feet) high. White squares are street-level (the original grid was too large for my needs, so I overlaid a new one on the street-level squares.
Thugs will be coming in from the right; the warehouse with the bikes and such is off to the left, so this is the best bottleneck you've got for stopping them.
Please declare your start-positions, and roll for Stealth and Notice. You can choose to start on top of a building in order to get cover/better shot, but note that there's no ready ladders or stairs to get down--if you want to do it in combat, you'll need to jump/fall. People on top of buildings get a +2 bonus to Stealth. Lighting is Dark (-2 Notice/Ranged attacks, and line-of-sight is limited to 10"). If you have low-light vision, etc, please note it and factor it into the roll.

Roath
Maintaining True Invisibility via Shadow Cloak. Hoping the bad guys will run past me so that I can get them from behind. Note as Roath is making his way along the alley he picks up a broken chair, or some item, to place in the middle of the alley (see chair) to be his marker. So the others know where he is in relation to it. Roath will radio, hey just beyond the chair in the middle of alley I am to the left...
Armor Spell cast already.

Hassun ducks down and awaits for the ping from Roath. Hassun hold his war hatchet in one hand and prepares to summon a fireball in the other. Quietly using a bird call, he notifies Roath of his rough position.- Artemeisia

Starting Map Location: R11Combat Rolls
Artemeisia starts scrambles up to roof intent on something dramatic. An ally is a great bottleneck, a wonderful tactical advantage. But if there is a discrepancy between the range of the opposing forces weapons, the advantage can easily turn against the side with the short range weapons. Artemeisia has the short range weapons. The other side does not. To make it worse, the rest of her team also has ranged weapons. So, she must get within range without getting shot.She crouches on the roof just above the intersection, watching over the parapet for the enemies to approach. An elegant chainblade, veterans of many skirmishes, in each hand, she is ready.
Patience is easy when the game has started. Artemeisia doesn't want to get shot by her comrades. "Hassun, Raoth, I will descend in the melee after you have completed your ranged attacks. Please give me a triple click when each is completed."
When the time is right, that is when the enemies are in position and her team has eliminated or occupied them, she will jump. It's far, that's for sure. Breaking an ankle is very much a possibility, but Artemeisia is not worried, she is eminently skilled. She is even more confident. Leaping into the fray from two stories up is not only unexpected, it is also dramatic.
Once she lands, she goes all out attack, not uncontrolled, but not with finesse. She is not above a stomp on the toe or kick to the shin to cause distractions. For all her posturing about technique, she fights like a back alley brawler. If she didn't have sword in each hand, she'd be poking at eyes too.

The group of men moves through the dark streets silently, weapons out, but not using lights--probably to not alert anyone at the warehouse that they are coming. Sadly (for them), they did not anticipate an ambush before they even got close enough to see the place. They pass beneath Artemeisia, and past the unseen Roath, and are moving directly towards the Burster, who gets the ping from Roath that they are coming.Re: Pocahontas: Mean Streets

As Hassun knells with his eyes closed, he feels the cold fire burn within him. He slowly stands and welcomes the warmth it brings. He opens his eyes as he turns the corner, they are a open window into his burning soul. The fire spreads, causing his skin to smoke and blacken before being consumed by the flames. He strides forwards, raises his hand and casts Greater Burst. He smiles as the flames roll forth to consume those who would cause them harm.

Hassun steps out and launches his flaming attack. 4 of the minions go down screaming, in flames; two manage to evade the blast, barely, while the commander manages to do a brief roll to go below the terrible fire.- Artemeisia

Artemeisia's first attack from above hits the Cavalry leader's head with a sickening crunch; she was about to stomp on his foot to distract him further, but her own back-swing lopped off his leg, first, leaving her standing on a foot not attached to a body.
There are still two troopers there, and Roath has yet to step in.
Re: Pocahontas: Mean Streets
Watching the Mercs rush around the corner and hearing them perish Roath, still for the moment invisible, wanders around to see if any are left.
Seeing two Mercs he activates his Greater Flaming sword and uses the swords power to boater his reaction and actions.
Slicing the blade back and forth with incredible speed he cuts out at both men.

The two final mooks don't have a moment to say so much as "Hello" before Roath turns them into briquets with his sword. The bodies smell a bit, but this part of town is abandoned, and so there's no one to see besides the Legionnaires.OOC Comments

"A blade of fire and blaze of fire. Well done indeed. Nice blade work young man." Artemeisia says to Roath, clearly impressed. "And we owe our friend down the alley back there thanks as well, he was the first to strike, and certainly set the tone for us to follow." She looks around a little bit, thinking. "Well, we have two other comrades in a tight spot, shall we go lend a hand?"Artemeisia will run off towards Scyleia and Herra, not sure what her chainswords will do against a full size robot. But she'll think of something on the way, she's absolutely positive about that.
