Uther raised his bolter high and started firing blindly at the Orks cowering behind their gate. The Commissar knew his duty, and that was to maintain disciple in the heat of battle. His loud bolter pistol thundered around the guardsmen of squads three and four. Many catching on and started firing as well with the shock of the surprise attack wearing off. "Are you going to cower like a bunch of frightened paradise world children? YOU HEARD YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER! YOU KNOW YOUR DUTY! OR do I need to start firing my bolter lower? DEFEND THE HEAVY WEAPONS AND BRING THAT GATE DOWN! SEND THESE XENO WIPE-RAGS BACK TO THE ABYSS! FOR RUVORN!" With that a perimeter was set and suppression fire was organized. There was very little cover, beyond the Sentinels and scrapped mining equipment. 'Those commandos are trouble, but I have faith I'll have this gate down in enough time to save the rest of them. As they said; Quantity has a quality all of its own. Still...' Uther assessed and activated the open vox. "Attention Owls, This is Commissar Valentine. Can you get a visual on those Orks on the Gate? Any where to concentrate fire would be appreciated. This is an order. Also, try not to die before answering. Over." @Casavay and @High_Adept_Zeth
OOC:Finally...someone to interact with the snipers in a proper way! OOC:I`ll take that as a 'no'.Meh...anyway i dont like RPing more then one character at the time. OOC:Imagine...i am not stupid.I actually read the stuff people post and understand it.I know it was supposedly to be a side character...its just that i didnt knew it can be taken as a non-Guardsmen! Techero by instinct looked for higher ground,but it was scarce in supply,so he blended in with the environment,trying to find as thicker as cover/shadow as possible with the optimal angle on Cyclops and the walls. Priming Angela,Sharpshooter found a good vantage point behind a collapsed stalactite column.Checking the spot for any pouncing greenskins,Techero crouched behind the column,adjusting sights and checking ammo level for the last time.He drew five AP rounds from his pouch,putting them on the outside of his right glove in the special leather straps.The tips of bullets knew to sting his knuckles...but it was a well worth it if that meant higher reaction time,in case heavily armored orks or vehicles appear. Sniping one Ork from the walls as the creature held some sort of grenade in his hand,Mr.Binalt was disrupted by a vox coming to life.Odd,because Owl channel was usually kept under radio silence. There was no such thing as a 'no' to a Commissar...but then again...it was conflicting with the orders Oskar gave `em.He was supposed to watch the ramparts and Cyclops approach...not to snipe on gate-campers.Well...it was not on his head anyway...he is just following orders and he`ll take scorn from Oskar any time over a bolt to the head.Any sane man would. Moving his right (gloved in leather) hand to his ear bead,Techero responded: ++"Roger that Hawk Four,Owl Two is switching focus."++ Switching his angle of fire,Techero scoured the wall over the gates and gate itself,seeing several entrenched Orks. Seeing a particularly juicy target that carried some sort of a heavy weapon,Techero aimed down,regulating his breathing.The orkoid was was body-protected by its fellow beasts in front of it. Opening fire,several rounds at the time,clearing his line of fire to the targeted Ork.Unfortunately the creature possessed a degree of cunning and as it saw its fellow orks fall in front of it in a shower of brain parts and missing legs,it took cover behind the gates. Damn it!Cunning bastard! ++"Gate quadrant,heavy weapons behind the gate.Anti-infantry by the looks of it.I can offer at best,suppressing fire."++ Addendum (praise the Omnissiah!): Corrected p!ss poor grammar and RP synchronization with the others.
<Gorbon and Franco> "Say no more Owl Two! Cubs are comin ta play!" Gorbon hoisted their auto-cannon around, following Franco's own guiding hand in the matter as his spotter had already picked out where the git was hiding while Gorbon couldn't even make him out amongst the armored ramparts, nor dozens of other Orks for that matter. "Between those piked heads, small black spot there is a weapon barrel. " Hauling a fresh feed of ammunition for their heavy weapon onto his knee Franco watched as his team mate planted several thundering rounds into the location shredding away cover and Ork flesh alike with his usual enthusiasm. "Down to forty percent shot capacity! " "Already got it covered buddy. Plenty here to use. " Leaning out a bit from their cover the thin cut figure popped off a few warning shots to support their brothers in arms but was quickly forced down by a spray of return fire that briefly obscured their position with thrown up dust. Despite this Gorbon was still grinning a vicious, hungry smile that made his normally friendly looking pudgy face into something thuggish. Jerking his head aside as several slugs passed a bit too near to his head he could only bellow with laughter before resuming the onslaught with the auto-cannon raking the battlements and its defenders. "FOR THE EMPEROR! "
"Shouldn't we always try not to die during our missions...", a smirking Viktoria mumbled as she put down another Ork and pulled back her long-las' bolt. Slightly belated, she raised her head ever so slightly to get a better visual, first without her scope, and then using the rifle as a surveying tool. Her enhanced sight could only confirm what her colleague had already reported; it didn't look to well for the Imperial Guardsmen who'd lead the first waves on that trench, but all they could do was provide suppression fire. +This is Owl 1. Confirm Two's report. Looks like them greenskins're fairly well dug-in. Expect heavy anti-infantry fire from support weapons.+ She looked over to Tech's position, watching him fire a shot at the aliens that seemed so far away right now, before looking back at her scope, and voxing the man (@High_Adept_Zeth ). +I'm gonna look what I can do about those support weapons, Tech. You copy?+ Of course, that was more politeness than anything else, because as soon as the guardswoman with the long last name finished talking, her hand moved back to the trigger, her breathing slowed, and she sought out the first deffgun-bearer who would be her next target.
Techero smiled as he finally heard Viktoria`s voice over the vox.She seemed to be ++"Copy Owl 1.If you change the angle of fire you might flush them out on the open.I`ll wait for them.Oh and...watch out for `em sneaky greenskins."++ Finishing his transmission,Sharpshooter sighted down through Angela the gates of the keep,preparing to take a shot at the moments notice,while keeping an eye for friendly fire.Thats what Commissars are for.
-Martin "Yes Sir" Martin Said as he followed osker with las-rifle in hand he was ready with las-rifle in hand he followed his leader Squad one was close to him as orks got into range "LET NONE GET EVEN CLOSE TO RAISE THERE BLADES" Martin said as he began firing his las-rifle at the orks with the rest of the squad while following oskar.
Slugga Boyz ran forth as the loud rounds of the Heavy Weapons team announced the Ruvornians for good. Oskar remained in front of the Owls and Cubs, ready to meet whomever was stupid enough to meet him and his Powerfist head on. Though his concern was redirected to his own men health, as the Shoota Boyz of the Orks actually managed to land hits and destroy half of Squad Two and Four in a couple of salvos, those which hit nothing before, suddenly hit half of them! "CUBS! AIM ON THE SHOOTAS! XALIA, ON ME, LET US MEET THOSE ORKS IN CLOSE COMBAT! READY YOUR BAYONETS!" Oskar roared loud and with vicious anger, the moment the Heavy Weapons pointed away from the Orks, they simply rose to their feet and shot again, even though quite enough of them were killed by Las fire, it seemed only the Heavy Weapon scared them enough to cower in cover. (@DeranVendar & @lord-watchman ) Only a couple of moments later the first Orks actually managed to reach their position as they were just so many. But with just one wide arc of his fist, he killed three Orks at once, shocking the others for a moment before their Nob yelled at them "GET 'EM YA GITZ!" He commanded and engaged Oskar and the rallied men around him in melee. It was incredible how quickly the Orks managed to get from so far to their position, though perhaps it had been their funny shoes with red tornado logos on them. Shoota Boys continued to fire into the ranks of the Ruvornian Platoon under Hochmann's command, while heavy weapon teams disposed of their Sentinels before they were even any use, shooting their operators out of their seat and like cannonballs into some Orks, just to be hacked into pieces. Their screams muffled from the sounds of battle. More Kommandos were yet to join the battle, if they were still hiding somewhere... But one could definitely tell that the combat was not going to well at this point. OOC: Reminders: Platoon Lead: Oskar Hochmann (@Uriel1339 ) Master of Ordnance: Artyom Walter (@Xaphen ) Lady Commissar: Xalia Umbra (@lord-watchman ) Commissar: Uther Valentine (@PorOborosCain ) Vox-Operator: Martin Falkenauge (@Vulpas - NPC) Veteran Soldier: Mark Vincent (@Colapse ) Veteran Soldier: Gerontius Malithine (@Valonox ) Veteran Soldier: Brock Mizer (@kanila ) Sharpshooter: Viktoria Kirsten von Kirschhain zu Auroris (@Casavay ) Sharpshooter: Techero Binalt (@High_Adept_Zeth ) Heavy Weapons #1: Gorbon Sobovostki (@DeranVendar ) Heavy Weapons #2: Franco Deskos (@DeranVendar )
OOC: Oh kill counters, sorry! Owls get 2 each. Grizzlys get 3 each. Cubs get .... Well.... uhhhh two dozen! (24) Everyone else can kill 1-3 (Xalia took 2 kills I assume, so 1 left for you watchman!)
<Gorbon and Franco> "It shall be done!" Gorbon swung their auto-cannon about strafing the enemy walls once more. Powerful rounds punching through armor and Ork bodies alike sending five of the brutes flying into the air as bloody chunks before he wheeled it back going at a slower pace now that they were properly suppressed. Leaning forward he squinted his eyes, Franco too busy watching for closing threats to point out anything of note but then again he doubted that their lug of a gunner needed help seeing a wall loaded with Orks. Seven more shoota boyz were laid low in the following moments as they were pulped or blown apart, flesh tearing and blood flying in sprays that painted their surviving kin. "Alright big guy keep on the pressure, I'm gonna borrow your las-pistol. " Reaching over Franco drew Gorbon's own side arm from the holster, leveling them both on the melee forming below, waiting until they were just a few seconds from hitting friendly lines before laying on his own spray of sporadic fire, drowning out a trio more of xenos lives with concentrated beams of crimson energy. "OH but of course, ye keep playing gun slinger and I'll keep playin cannoneer! CHANGE!" Immediately Franco and Gorbon both came to a halt as an empty hopper clunked to the ground Franco already having holstered his weapons to slap a new one into place which Gorbon finished securing whilst Franco drew up their pistols once more. All in all it was a four second gap between silence and firing. Yet more bodies were carved from the enemy fortifications along with plenty of the xeno's own cover. Franco jabbed a pistol toward their right. "Exposed support strut for that tower, looks rusty! " "Say no more!" The heavy weapon trained in on the spot, Gorbon following his spotter's own hand more than his eyes in where to fire. Squinting a single eye whilst tongue popped out against his upper lip several rounds were spent on striking the exposed bar of metal. With a shriek of tortured metals giving way the front half of the squat tower spilled forward carrying four more Greenskins to their deaths as they fell and were crushed or chopped while five more who had been traveling up a stair well to cram into the shooting gallery were butchered by a subsequent barrage of shots now that they were totally exposed. OOC: Hope that wasn't too much! To make it clear nothing was really done to the wall or any entrances made, literally just exposing the insides of a tower, only the armor and some of the edging around the top fell, otherwise still intact.
