Communicate to make sure the wording is proper and not from the Tsarist vocab from his Russian teacher in school.
Deception
How you doing back there Majors? Almost lost them. Shouldn't be too much longer.
As he says this Johnny weaves between the lanes of traffic very quickly. Putting a large truck between him and the tail before making a quick left turn.
Majors looks up to Macomb in the front. "I'm glad you guys are on our side. I think we lost them." They are no where to be seen behind the van, Macomb confirms in his mirrors.

The Soviet PFC approaches Smith. "В самом деле? Вы должны сказать вашей жене на ум свой собственный бизнес. Военное дело, больше ничего." He looks you over. "Какой блок вы назначены? Вы должны быть с ними."
As Smith is speaking to the soldiers, he glances Elise slipping around the backside of the apartment building..
***
Elise manages to find a side door that she enters the apartment building through. The unit you are looking for is on the third floor. It should be easy to get to, but you can hear soldiers talking down the hallways. You will have to move fast.
Smith who obviously studied his Order of Battle Document before coming to Afghanistan on the behest of President Carter's CIA says, "345 ПАРАШЮТНО-ДЕСАНТНОГО ПОЛКА!
Я в логистике, потому что мой полковник дал мне разрешение, чтобы мой сын родился, но я предпочитаю выстрелы в гневе. Он должен прийти в любой день. Беременные женщины, полная неприятность. Мы пытаемся придумать план, чтобы остановить врага. Поставки из Ташкента займет слишком много времени.
Во всяком случае, я скажу ей, чтобы быть менее любопытно. До свидания. "
Russian
I don't know how long I've got, so Elise will quickly make for the steps and head straight up.
The Soviet soldier says nothing other than to nod to Smith and head back to his guard post. He says a couple of things the the other soldier he is with, but they then return to guard duty.
***
Elise quickly climbs the steps, her athletic training carrying her several steps at a time. She moves to the third floor in decent time so as the wandering patrols miss her, but just down the hallway, she can see two soldiers in front of the door she needs to get into. They don't see her yet....

Smith will dip into an alley and then try to put himself in a place where he can cover Elise when she tries to exfiltrate the area.
Elise checks the corridor for any way to distract the men, without exposing herself.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Okay, let's keep it simple then. Elise draws her knife but keeps it hidden "excuse me do you know where I can find..."... and try and stab one of them...
The first soldier barely registers Elise's words as her knife penetrates the man's ribs. He gasps for breath and chokes on blood. The other one is going for his gun, but Elise is faster....
And with barely a breath between she keeps momentum and swings at the remaining soldier
If he doesn't go down will use 2nd action to try again.
"Sorry guys, never got down the art of a nonlethal takedown" she whispers apologetically.
Elise's blade cuts cleanly across the second soldier's wrist and then his throat. He slumps to the ground with little fanfare. Both men lie still.
***
Outside, as Macomb circles back, both he and Smith notice a black car, similar to the one they lost earlier pull up beside the Russian troop truck. Two men in suits step out of the back and start speaking with the soldiers.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Smith has his rifle ready, using his binoculars to see if he recognizes the men
(If she gets spotted,)He has his rifle trained on them prepared shot, brace, if Elise gets spotted 3 round burst damage , , damage
Elise takes a second to take a breath, surprised she managed to kill them so cleanly with barely any noise. She then quietly taps on the door before trying to open it.
Smith looks at the men outside and doesn't recognize them immediately. They aren't wearing any identifying lapel pins and their suits seem generic. They continue to talk to the soldiers outside...
***
Elise hears no response to her knock on the door, but she does hear a female voice inside hushing someone...
Elise puts her weapon away and opens the door slowly, "I am not here to hurt you, we've come to get you out of here."
Elise enters the apartment. It's decorated sparsely and has few things that make it personal. As she enters the main living area, a still smoldering cigarette in an ugly ashtray tell her that someone is here. She hears a muffled voice coming from the bedroom and another whispered one trying to hush it.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Elise closes the door most of the way, but leaves it open a crack, hopefully she'll be able to hear if soldier's boots start approaching.
She approaches the bedroom "ma'am, I'm here to help" Maybe someone who could actually speak russian would have been helpful here?
[ooc]This is where Elise learns to pantomime...[ooc]
A Russian woman, probably mid-thirties, with dirty blonde hair and a disheveled look about her is holding a little girl close to her. Both of them keep looking between Elise's eyes and the knife in her hand. They say nothing as they huddle close together. Elise spots a dry blood stain on the lower half of the woman's day dress.
***
Outside, Smith watces as the two men in suits finish the conversation with the soldiers and head inside the building.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Elise tucks her knife away raises her hands palms out in a hopefully calming gesture, she keeps talking, trying to focus more on the tone of her voice than the actual words. Trying to remember her advice and training for dealing with vulnerable patients.
Also without actually reaching over and examining her, she will note the womans stance and breathing and try and assess her for injury.
Finally, unless the woman seems to be in immediate need of medical aid she'll take a look around for a window and take a peek, see if the situation outside has changed at all.
***
Elise's gestures seem to calm the woman slightly. Elise being female seems to help. Their don't seem to be any external wounds other than a couple of bruises on her arms, however her skittish stance tells you she may have been attacked in other ways. The girl seems unharmed, probably about six years old and scared. A quick glance down at the street shows you that a black car is parked outside and the troop truck is still there. You can also see your van just down the street.

Smith opens fire at one of the suits before he enters the house using the rolls from before.
Presuming soldiers are going to be distracted by shooting, and not watching the windows, does it appear reasonable to climb down from the window in any way?
Smith starts a war...
Smith opens fire on the two suits heading into the building, catching one squarely in the back, dropping him instantly. The other dives for cover as the two soldiers in front grab their rifles and train them in Smith's direction.
***
Hearing the gunfire, the woman and child begin to panic...
Initiative
3 round burst at whomever I can attack... if hits , if hits , if hits
Maneuver to cover away from the scene.
"Right, stay behind me." Elise speaks slowly and beckons to the pair. She's not heard any commotion from the bodies outside the door, but she takes a peek anyway before heading back down the hallway.
Elise sees no movement from the two men she killed. The woman and her daughter follow closely behind her. You can hear commotion on the stairs down, but it seems to be heading away from you...
***
Trying to make sense of what just happened, Macomb holds for the moment, drawing his weapon, but keeping his head down. Majors looks at him as he draws a pistol. "Now what?"
***
Smith's next burst hits one of the soldiers and though his vest slows the bullets, it still puts him down, forcing him to crawl away.
The suit stands and returns fire with his pistol, but misses him completely. The other soldier nearby the other one takes cover beside the truck.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Well seems like the gunfight has started in ernest
Elise heads for the staircase, spares a glance upwards to try and ascertain if anyone's coming from that way, before heading downwards.
She'll try and keep the woman and her daughter following about 5 foot or so behind her, but without a common language she'll take what she can get.
S~%*!! Well we knew this might happen. Macomb aims his pistol at the second suit and pulls the trigger. He figures that the suits are probably in charge and the soldier are just doing their duty. Whatever may help himself sleep better tonight.
Damage Reduction is doubled.
Smith after moving to a corner of a building last turn takes another 3 round burst at one of the enemies if hits , if hits , if hits ,
Elise looks up and hears no one coming from above. She then darts down the steps, her two charges close on her heels. She gets to the second floor and is surprised by the just-as-surprised soldier there about ten feet in front of her in the hallway. He starts to go for his weapon...
***
Macomb's weapon jams and he works feverishly to clear it. Majors peeks out a window, takes aim and fires at the soldier by the truck but only manages to shoot one of the mirrors out.
***
Smith peeks around from his cover and fires another burst towards the suit that is standing by the entrance. The suit quickly regrets standing up to shoot as all of Smith's burst tears into him, spinning his body around before it flattens against the wall.
The other soldier returns the favor by shooting a couple bursts at Smith, destroying pieces of the wall corner, catching Smith in the arm with a ricochet.
[/ooc] did you take my vest into consideration ? [/ooc]
Smith takes the hit mutters under breath and takes another 3 round burst at one of the enemies if hits , ⇒hits , if hits
Elise figures that her firearm's probably going to be barely heard compared to what sounds like a battle outside.
If it doesn't drop him, she'll immediately crack off another round
***
Elise quickly brings her weapon to bear and snaps off a shot that seems to stun him more than anything. He returns fire a second later, sending the other two females for cover, putting their hands over their heads and ears and a few bullets tear apart the wall near Elise. He is apparently not used to shooting at this close of a range.
***
Macomb manages to clear his pistol as Majors takes another shot at the soldier.
***
Smith's rounds impact the soldier, but aren't enough to penetrate the armor on his chest, but it is enough for him to start backing away. He takes a parting shot and then retreats to behind the car.
Smith fires another burst at the man if hits , hits , if hits
Elise fires again, as she takes a step forwards keeping herself to single shots, as a burst would likely draw more attention.
5ft step closer.
Macomb frantically clears his pistol muttering to himself as he does so.
Once cleared he runs towards a closer firing position before squeezing off a shot at the retreating soldier.
Elise takes another shot, but at this range, it's difficult to hit with a rifle. The second one hits home, but the man's vest seems to absorb the 7.62mm round easily. He grunts as he steps in and attack Elise with the butt end of his weapon. She is able to quickly bring up her own rifle to block his strikes. "Здесь! Они здесь!" Elise can hear soldiers down the steps...
***
Macomb quickly gets out of the van and starts firing on the move and manages to get the soldier's attention away from Smith. Smith's burst hits him square in the side, and he winces in pain, but still takes a shot at Mac before retreating further towards the side of the building, taking cover by a low garden wall. His shot slams into Mac's chest..
Mac takes the round from the soldier straight to his chest luckily his armor stops him from losing any blood but that will leave one helluva bruise.
The shot didn't stop Mac as he continued to close the distance between him and his shooter. After getting with 15' Mac squeeze the trigger twice quickly on his pistol.
"Should've stayed with the F#'*& Knife" Curses Elise as she continues to unload her firearm into the soldier
Smith moves to outflank the soldier , 3 round burst if hits , if hits , if hits ,
Sure, I'll switch out. Not like I'm rolling any threats.
Elise drops her rifle and quick draws her knife, cutting into the man's armor. He winces in pain, but the armor seems to have taken most of the damage. He attacks back with his rifle's end again and after putting her on the defensive, sweeps her leg. He is unable to knock her off balance however and has to readjust his stance to compensate.
***
The soldier outside is hit from all sides by Smith and Mac. There is little life left in him as he slumps over the short garden wall, his weapon clattering to the concrete. For the moment there are no other active shooters outside, but both of you know that the truck holds more than just two soldiers... Most of the civilians in the area have fled..
