So 6 and 6, 12 damage total.
For dropping my grenade down the hole, is that a ranged attack? I'm basically dropping something, should be simple enough right.

d10So 6 and 6, 12 damage total.
For dropping my grenade down the hole, is that a ranged attack? I'm basically dropping something, should be simple enough right.
In a case like that it just happens.
Fire in the hole
Tarkus fires another shot dealing Pen 8. Causing the second aircraft to explode in ball of flames, ground crew scatter in every direction, a few collapsing as the flames take them down.
The Techmarine has re-loaded his weapon in preparation for future targets while the apothecary remains concealed nearby.
The two on the roof weather the storm of fire alive, but in trouble. Fortunately the powers of a librarian of the Adeptus Astartes are not to be underestimated and he incinerates the xenos that dare to defile the flesh of the righteous.
The frag grenade dropped by brother Rollo detonates in the room below and you can hear multiple secondary explosions as the windows of the second floor blow out and a rush of heat and flame comes out of the hatch.
The two xenos hovercraft that were just exiting the compound turn around when the second aircraft is destroyed, bringing their charges back inside the wall.
"Brother Tarkus, Brother Loghir, two more craft, there retreating back into the hangar!"
Scorpelio will Half-Action Aim and Fire at the Vehicle retreating back into the Hangar if still visible.
Two Degrees, One Degree if the Range Bonus doesnt apply.
Pen 8
The Librarian looks at the wounded Tactical Marine for half a second, but seems to decide that mission come first. He takes a krak grenade at his belt and casually throws it at the comm-relay on the roof-top.
The anti-tank grenade explodes in the middle of the multiples antennas and various relay and comm-equipment. Hopefully, the explosion was strong enough to damage and disable them.
"And one for the emperor" as he drops a second grenade down the hatch.
The jump pack team wrecks the comms equipment on the roof and makes sure any survivors on the second floor are dead with the second grenade and the other xenos moving up the stairs are treated to a nice surprise.
Brother Tarkus fires a shot from his missile launcher at the gate of the compound.
But the rocket of the missile fails to ignite causing a stoppage in his missile launcher.
The apothecary begins moving towards to compound.
The xenos craft tries to jink the incoming missile. Barely managing to avoid it. However in doing so, they delayed their ability to get though the gate this round.
The other xenos craft makes it back inside the compound and the two on the roof of the comms building can see all the Tau warriors heading in that direction, several fire warriors have already exited the craft.
After having reloaded his Missile Launcher, Scorpelio Takes Aim and Fires at the pathetic Xenos craft to make sure it never flies again.
2 Degrees of Success.
Damage at Pen 8.
"They won't be escaping our grasp anytime soon Brothers. But Tarkus, Loghir, prepare for an engagement we've obviously marked ourselves as a grave threat. Hopefully that will relieve some of the pressure on Averruncus and Rollo."
Loghir keeps moving towards the compound under his camo-cloak with his bolter in hand
Now that the area seems secured and the comm-station seems disabled, the Librarian turns toward Brother Rollo.
A sinister reddish glow surrounds the librarian's hand as he touches the wounds. The glow propagates to the wound, who heals itself, with a peculiar ticklish sensation.
"That should help for now, but you should request more cares by our Apothecary."
On to the compound?
Are we waiting for someone now? Or just for Browman to finish Xcom Long War? :D
Brother Rollo hasn't posted an action for this round. I will move things forward tomorrow if he hasn't posted by then.
My action for the round is to head to the compound. (But I thought this was the same turn I dropped the grenade. My apology
Tarkus and loghir both head towards the compound. Loghir is 2 turns away from the game, Tarkus 3. Scorpelio loads his missile launcher again.
Averruncus heals some of the wounds on Rollo, who drops thorough the hatch into a sea of death and destruction on the second floor. The two grenades have trashed the room and killed all enemies there including another team that was heading up the stairs. Heading down to the first floor you catch a glimpse of a pair of xenos trying to hide behind equipment.
The Tau rush their VIP out of the vehicle and into the staff building, leaving 4 fire warriors outside with their weapons focused towards the main gate and the exit of the comms building.
The second Xenos vehicle heads through the gate on a vector towards the main building. As it passes by the comms building, the top half of a xenos appears out of a hatch and fires a burst at the roof of that building. but misses as he doesn't properly compensate for the speed he is moving.
"Primary Targets Spotted! I'll take care of the Craft. Make sure those VIPs do not get away. I'll Rendez-Vous with you once I get the chance."
Is it possible to push the equipment into the wall, crushing the filthy Xenos?
Is it possible to push the equipment into the wall, crushing the filthy Xenos?
yes
Do I make an attack roll?
That's probably a hit. Unless there's any penalties.
Averruncus uses his jump-pack to do a mighty jump toward the second xenos vehicule and try to land on its roof, effectively charging the xenos who shot at the building's roof.
:
: The librarian is off balance and his slash misses its target.
Brother rollo kicks a console into the cowardly xenos, crushing their pathetic life force from their frail bodies. He is at the entrance to the comms building ready to move to another location.
The libarian manages to stick his landing on the xenos vehicle and his actions confuse the xenos firing from the back of the craft, they scramble for sidearms but do little else this round. The craft he is on slams to a halt outside the main building.
Tarkus and Loghir both head for the gate . Scorpelio re-loads his missile launcher.
Several of the Fire warriors begin shooting at the two heading towards the gate.
Only two of them are on target each of the two marines takes a hit.
Tarkus Pen 4 Tarkus dodges the head shot.
Loghir Pen 4 to the leg
"Averruncus, Get Clear of the Vehicle I shall take care of it."
Scorpelio then waits for Averruncus to get clear of the Vehicle before firing his Krak Missile at it.
Rollo exits the comms building and takes a full move to the rest of the team
Loghir tries to dodge
22 pen 4. Armor 8, toughness bonus 5(x2), 8 dmg through.
HP 12/20
Loghir voxes to Tarkus "blast the ones shooting at us brother, we need to get in"
The Son of Antaeus simply push aside the confused xenos's gun with his left hand and tries to drop a frag grenade into the hatch.
Averruncus one-handedly activates and throw a frag grenade through the hatch, just between the Fire Warrior and the Hull. The grenade explodes inside the vehicle, projecting shrapnel on passengers.
Rollo exits the building and heads towards the fire warriors defending the outside of the building the Tau VIP is in. He can reach the door to the building next turn.
Tarkus pauses in his advance, dropping to one knee and firing a frag missile into the fire warriors. Tarkus will use a fate point. The blast catches all 5 fire warriors in the blast radius. Damage Pen 4. All 5 fire warriors are alive but badly wounded.
Loghir clears the gate and is the same distance from the door as Rollo.
A secondary explosion from within the vehicle Averruncus is on throws him clear and leaves the hull a burning wreck. That is one VIP down
The fire warriors scatter seeing two Angels of Death that close to them.
Seeing that the second vehicle has been taken care of, Scorpelio will stow his Missile Launcher, Take out his Plasma Gun and Sprint as far as he can to regroup with his Squad Mates.
The Son of Antaeus agilely keeps his balance as the disabled vehicle keeps advancing chaotically due to inertia. He swiftly jumps off it and uses his reactors to quickly progress toward the VIP building.
As everyone is running around Loghir takes the time to mend his wounds
Medicae 53, +20 Narthecium, +10 diagnostor helm, +20 combat webbing -medicae pouch
He heals Int bonus +1d5(apothecary special)
Narthecium doubles amount of healing from first aid so "16", but only need 8 to be fully healed
I believe it's back to Rollo. Continuing his advance, he catches up to brother Loghir, requesting aid.
Scorpelio starts moving but the rapidly shifting battle has left him out of position. It will take him 3 turns to reach the gate.
While the xenos are scattering Rollo, Loghir and Tarkus regroup at the gate, one turn away from the building housing the surviving tau.
The Librarian engages one of the tau in melee, who backs up draws and fires a pistol. for with 4 pen to left leg.
The other Tau retreat into the staff building, there is no sign of the Tau VIP or the 2 guards that already went inside with him.
"Go without me Brothers. I shall stop the Xenos Outside from entering behind you. I shall hold the gate."
"Let us cleanse this nest, I'll take the lead brothers"
Loghir pulls out his flamer as they run to the staff building
"Perhaps a frag missile through a window on the second floor would teach them the error of their ways brother techmarine?"
"I do not think I will have the time to do so, Brother Apothecary. Having to manually load my launcher will put me in a compromising position. If I have the opportunity to do so, I shall."
Scorpelio, whenever he reaches the Building, will set up shop in the Lobby area and make sure no outside reinforcements get in. Should he see any heading towards the area before him but behind his squadmates he'll engage those to make sure they don't impede the advance of his squadmates.
Pretty much upset by this pathetic resistance, the Librarian thrust ferociously with his Force Sword.
Will save a success but with no degrees of success so the tau takes an extra damage. The tau dies from the psychic damage inflicted by the force weapon.
The tactical marine and apothecary advance, and are just outside the door to the building.
Tarkus takes a knee and fires a frag missile into the second floor. unfortunately his aim is off and the missile hits the wall between two windows showering the area with shrapnel and damaging the wall.
Of the now 7 xenos inside the building there is no sign.
Loghir gestures at Rollo
"Frag through the door brother and I'll follow with my flamer, they could be waiting for us"
Averruncus uses his jum-pack once again to jump directly on thr roof of the building. If there are any enemy there, he tries to engage them in melee.
Still need a heal here.
"Frag out"
Hit
"Let me take a look at you while the dust clears"
Medicae 53, +20 Narthecium, +10 diagnostor helm, +20 combat webbing -medicae pouch
He heals Int bonus +1d5(apothecary special)
x2 for 20
Scorpelio is one turn away from the building.
The Liberian successfully lands on the roof, there is an access hatch similar to the one on the comms building.
The frag grenade thrown by Rollo detonates inside the entrance to the building, secondary explosions seem to indicate that the door was booby trapped after the xenos fled inside.
There is still no sign of the Tau inside.
"One of you, wait for me by the door, I'll hand you my Auspex."
Once Scorpelio reaches the others, he'll hand his Siege Auspex to whoever is there to take it then cover the lobby entrance. If possible, using his concentration to activate his auspex implant.
That puts be back at full, I'll jump to the top to enter with Averruncus
The Librarian nods at brother Rollo before to open the hatch (If possible, he tears it from the roof and throw it aside, for rule of cool).
