The sight of Old Larux beating the first of the weird things to a pulp made David hesitate, wondering if he would be any trouble when the time came, but the fact that the twitching person had called out to others bought him back to the moment. Lifting his nailgun David took aim at the Raider wielding the switch-blade, pulling the trigger three times. He kept silent, trying to hide his nervousness at the situation, and generally ignored the others. This was different from anything he'd encountered before. [OOC: Nailgun Attack: 38 (stealth) + 38 (19*2) against Raider Scum 1]
The disgusting crunchy noises emanating from the hallway only strengthened Agnes' desire not to get involved. With the decidedly strage voices shouting drawing ever nearer, she shifted to look out of her cover, poking out her head ever so slightly, anxious, waiting.
The Raider was taken by complete surprise as the older Larux basically gave him a skull-split. But just to make sure, he gave him another beating which really cracked his skull open. Blood was everywhere, the other Raiders were taken aback by surprise, especially when two bullets headed for one of them, downing him with chest shots, only some groaning could come out before he died for good, dropping his weapon and all in the process of death. The one with the Switchblade ran forth, but was stopped with Nails right into his eyeballs, blinding the enemy on the first shot, and penetrating the brain on the second shot. Oliver may have never shot a human being, but he still knew enough of aiming a gun to know where it hurts and harms most. "FEELING STRONG, EH?! COME HERE! GET ME! GET ME! YEAH!" The last raider with a baseball bat yelled as he could see Jimothy run up to him, he ran right against him and both clashed their Weapons against each other, both hitting one another's head. "YEAH, LIKE THAT?! HERE LET ME GIVE YOU MORE!" Both again clashed, the baseball bat went this time against the abdomen of Jimothy which was retaliated by a Monkey Wrench to the neck, snapping it and killing the Raider. The threat was over, luckily the shots and other combat noise also reduced, after all the fighting with mole rats and mirelurks was not completely useless. But the thing was now that they still had to find the origin of all these strange humans and how they got in here. Perhaps one of the tunnels dug into another vault? OOC: At all: I still try to figure balanced numbers out and what not, also trying to simplify the combat system, so the start may appear confusing until I can see to make it simpler, but also as mentioned in the OOC.... Combat will be hopefully not too frequent so we can focus on character development and the strangeness of the wasteland. @dx144 - Vampire doesn't apply, it's bright light, and yes you can do limb targeting, but it has no special effect like hitting someone in the head over arm. But for aesthetic purposes, sure. You also may you know, in future do the kill post in it's entirety in follow-up to my announcement that one dies. Like you know.... Now. Stats: @Avenging-Angel - David Thomas (M) - 130HP - 19R x 3/1 - 5 Res @Casavay - Agnes Larux (F) - 140HP - 6M x 2 - 9 Res @DaKaptin - Darwin Beagles (M) - 130HP - 8M x 2 - 5 Res @DeranVendar - Jimothy (M) - 136HP - 27M x 2 - 8 Res @dx144 - Oliver Sonlen (M) - 110HP - 23R x 3/1 - 3 Res @GobMaw_HellSmasha - Tony Larux (M) - 170HP - 28M x 2 - 6 Res @Jorimel - Ruby Lee (F) - 120HP - 6M x 2 - 4 Res @lord-watchman - Selina Drax (F) - 110HP - 21R x 3 - 3 Res @Vulpas - John Bracht (M) - 150HP - 8M x 2 - 10 Res @GoreWrencha - Caroline Hayes (F) 170HP 26M x 3
@DeranVendar John came out unharmed from the battle physically, But he was currently covered in blood from Mr. Timothy attack on the raider. Before he could react the other one was taken out by the others shots. He could hear a crack down the hall and went running to see Jimothy had taken out the last other human that entered the vault. He sighed thankfully seeing Jimothy alive. John went down further down the hall and looked at the dead human. John had never seen a person like the raider he looked odd with his armor and weapons he had and once carried what looked to be a baseball bat from one of the comics a baseball vault boy wielded. He then looked over to Jimothy. "Are you alright Jim?" John asked still concerned about his fellow vault dwellers life. His mind still a buzz with what just happen and slowly pulling itself together after the attack.
Spoiler: OOC Thanks, I'll keep it in mind =) Also I thought I targeted the Raider with a Nailgun while David targeted the Switchblade Raider. Oliver blinked a few times, didn't know how much time passed as he surveyed everyone else to see if they were fine but the rush he felt was like nothing else, reminded him of when he was thirteen and was first taken onto his Tunneller job. It was fear. Fear washed over him and the power of breaking that or fear breaking him filled him with a buzz which felt incredible. Oliver kept these thoughts to himself but notice there was blood all over the walls, and he could swear he saw a couple of the bodies twitching a bit on the floor. The air started to change as well to have a tangy iron smell but a hint of urine also reached Oliver's senses which he assumed was from these dead men. It was after what felt a few minutes but could have been a few seconds as Oliver returned his breathing to normal and everything seemed to return to a state of reality for him instead of being in a heightened euphoria before he finally spoke up. "Any of you idiots get hurt by them? Also all of you hiding I think it's rather safe to come out now. I do hope the smell is from one of those psychos, not you guys. I'm down to thirteen nails left so let's hope there aren't more of these psychos around."
Tony was too busy continually hitting the clearly dead man to pay attention to the others. Blood caked his wrench, and his clothes and face were covered in it. And the man still had bits of head entact. His wrench solved that problem real quick. Tony only got control over himself after he was certain the man didn't have a head any more. He got back up and wiped the dead man's blood from his face. "Hey Aggy!" he called out to his daughter, "You can come out now, it's alright! I don't think they're getting up anymore." He looked toward the group as a whole. He began shifting through the now headless guy's corpse, to see if there was anything that could be used to identify him. And also just to see if he had anything else onhe might have wanted. He raised the man's rusty tire iron up "Hey Jimothy!" he yelled out to the man in question from where he squatted, "happy birthday! I got you a...thing...this year...you want it?" Spoiler: OOC Fallout Senses active: Loot everything.
@GobMaw_HellSmasha @lord-watchman @DeranVendar John hearing the voice of Mr.Tony come through the hall to see they were doing. He had in his hand offering him up the Tire iron that the raider have. A idea popped in his mind he would need a weapon to if he and the others came into more of Invaders. Looking to the one Joseph killed he took the mans baseball bat deciding to arm himself with it. "I think we may need to take a look at these fellows and see what else they have as weapons. I think it would be a good idea to make sure everyone has a weapon. In case they come under attack of more of these invaders." John said as he looked over to Mr.Tony and Jimothy. "Mr. Tony I must say you did quite well in taking out that attacker. But we may need to keep this up if we come into contact with more. I think we need a plan on what to do next. Overseer what do you suggest we do next?" John asked from the hall.
Jimothy had been floored following the second blow from the bat. Something felt like it had cracked and he tasted a lot of copper. Spitting up the most blood he had seen come out of himself since the cooks were first experimenting with Mirelurk meat young man shook unprepared for all this. It wasn't half as glamorous as he expected more over he had killed something. Looking to fairly clean wrench, blows having been from concussive force, then to bludgeoned corpse he felt the adrenaline rushing out of him. Unsure if he should be proud, disgusted or just outright terrified he remained confused, utterly missing Tony's friendly offering of a new murder implement.
@Vulpas "Well I suggest we keep our voices low and our heads down, who knows how many more of these bastards there are. We don't want to run into anymore of these guys unprepared. If they could gun down a kid with no remorse, then we can't show them any mercy either. This is kill or be killed now. " It was obvious to him that the only reason that went over so well as it did was because they caught these guys off guard. They must not have expected the amount of resistance they encountered. They were expecting a turkey shoot, not for the turkey's to shoot back at them. Which meant if they kept the element of surprise on their side, they might be able to make it out of this situation alive. He walked over to the corpse with the switchblade and pocketed it for Agnes. The overseers assistant was right though, if everyone had a weapon on hand, they'd be a lot better off. So making sure his daughter had something to defend herself with put his mind at ease a bit. "Alright, I suggest we hit the armory first , see what we can get from there. Anything will help us at this point. We arm everyone, and then we can start clearing these bastards out. Keep it quiet. Keep it cool. Don't make any noise. And we might catch who is ever left of these guys off guard. I sincerely doubt four people would cause us this much trouble alone." @DeranVendar As he was walking back toward the cafeteria he shook the tire iron in front of Jimothy's face. He gave him a second to respond or grab the thing. After an awkward half minute of standing there he shrugged and walked back into the cafeteria, tossing the tire iron onto the floor with a thud. "Anybody wants this thing, go for it. It seems Jimothy doesn't want my birthday present after all. That hurts Jim. That hurst real bad you know. I even caved the man's skull in for it and everything." @Casavay He walked over to his daughter Agnes -still trying to hide it seemed- and crouched down next to her. Trying to look as unimtitating as possible so he doesn't end up scaring her or something. A task that proved quite difficult while being covered in blood from a recent kill. But he still tried anyway. "Hey sweetie" he said in as gentle of a voice as he could, "I...uhh...grabbed this off one of those people things..." he said presenting her the switchblade he looted. "It'd make me feel better knowing you have something on hand to protect yourself just in case. Daddy will do his best to make sure you won't have to use that. But just as a precaution, I want you to have it." "Also don't worry Aggy, this isn't daddy's blood."
Caroline stands still on the cafeteria floor, longer than needed. She needs few moments to realize it's over. Others dealt with the intruders already, she doesn't need to do anything anymore. She feels... disappointed? No! No, it's a good thing it's over. It's important that no one got hurt. Everyone is okay, right? Caroline inspects others; gore-covered Tony picking something from the corpse before him, giving orders, comforting his daughter. It looks so... natural. Somehow that scares Caroline more than the brain matter dripping from his wrench. Tony manages to stay in the role of Overseer Assistant, taking leading position and keeping people calm. Keeping a strong face so others wouldn't fear. Caroline holsters the baton and moves closer to the doorway, interested to take closer look at the invader, although wary of getting closer to dead body. If she is going to protect others, she needs to steel herself sooner than later.
