Turn 81 Resolution

jmj3000: 1-1=0

izakthegoomba: 6

AcRv: 1

As jmj3000 is crouching just to one side of the open door of the cage, clenching his teeth with pain and hoping the clear panel wall of the chamber was bulletproof, he sees AcRv come around the corner holding what looked like a black Wiimote in his hand. Glancing the other way, he sees the alien holding its weapon one-handed and chittering.

"I am now unarmed," jmj3000 hears AcRv say. Looking back, jmj3000 sees the Wiimote on the ground, and AcRv rising with his hands in the air. "We surrender. Take us--"

AcRv jerks as the alien fires. Then he falls.

AcRv has been shot. He will be at -1 until the turn after his wounds are treated.

jmj3000 tries to rise, to run at the alien when it approaches, but his head begins to swim and he falls. He watches helplessly as the alien begins to approach, as izakthegoomba rushes through its startled and inaccurate fire and starts pounding it to death, as two other aliens turn the corner, screeching and raising their weapons ... and as his vision wavers and fails.

jmj3000 is now unconscious. He will be unable to perform any other action until he regains consciousness.

theamatuer: 5

JDGA: 2

Meanwhile, in the apartment, JDGA throws up his hands in frustration and stomps past the recovering theamatuer to the dining table, where he sits with his hands on his temples.

"What on earth are you doing?" theamatuer asks.

"Well, since clearly I'm unable to

find

a weapon to fight these monsters with, I figured I'd use my head," JDGA says. "So: I'm developing psychic powers."

"Like that?"

"Sure, like this! How would

you

suggest?"

"Well, it's not something I studied myself," theamatuer says, "but from what my colleagues have said, psychic powers usually require some kind of trigger to activate. Here, sit on your hands for a moment."

JDGA looks oddly at theamatuer, but complies. "Now what?" he says.

"Catch," says theamatuer, and he throws a steak knife at JDGA's forehead.

The steak knife stops in midair, an inch away, and drops to the table.

"Well done," theamatuer responds.

JDGA has developed telekinetic powers.

Katty Bard: 1

In the meantime, Katty Bard heads out into the hallway of the apartment complex looking for roof access. Walking all up and down the hallway, she finds the ceiling without hatches and the doors all locked. Including back into the apartment.

Katty Bard is locked in the hallway. She is still wearing the AR-15 and ammo bandolier.

Mist7676: 2

Checking her pockets, Mist7676 pulls out a small LED flashlight and turns it on. Hoping against hope that it will work like an improvised flashbang, she tosses it one direction and, an instant later, rushes the other towards the door of the nearest building.

She just makes the doorway before a hailstorm of alien fire punches holes in the building facade around her. The glass of the door shatters as she pulls it open and dives through.

Mist7676 is standing in the front lobby of a post office. Mailboxes line two of the three interior walls, with writing surfaces and a postage machine against the exterior wall. The fourth wall leads to the room with the (presently unmanned) service counter. She did not enter the building unseen.

Turn 82 Deadline: (expired on 2012-06-25 11:23:08)

[izakthegoomba]

Shit. Would anyone be adverse to getting the hell out of there?

[Mist7676]

grrr how big are the mailboxes?

[Packbat]

grrr how big are the mailboxes?

Sorry - I meant P.O. boxes, actually. The blue mailboxes are outside somewhere.

[Katty Bard]

fffff.

Attempt to stay as hidden as possible

[Packbat]

fffff.

Attempt to stay as hidden as possible

Do you want to hide in this room specifically, or anywhere in the post office?

[JDGA]

Thank god theamatuer got a 5 on that one, steak knife to the forehead would not be a good way to go.
Oh well. What now, theamatuer?

[kondi2424]

/in to replace, PM me when I'm able, but I'll be V/LA until Saturday.

[AcRv]

Shit. Would anyone be adverse to getting the hell out of there?

Depends on the answer to this question:

Is there a button anywhere that looks something like a "release animals" button? If so I say we use it. Or just open the enclosure next to us and hope for the best.

If not, then I say we run like heck. Maybe to the morgue so we can loot the bodies.

[Packbat]

Is there a button anywhere that looks something like a "release animals" button?

Not that you've seen.

[izakthegoomba]

That sucks. Unless anyone has an amazing idea,

Get the fuck out of there

[theamatuer]

unlock the apartment door which for some reason seems to be closed

[jmj3000]

That sucks. Unless anyone has an amazing idea,

Get the fuck out of there

DICK!!!

Regain consciousness

[izakthegoomba]

Oh shit, I forgot about that. jmj isn't too big or heavy, right?

Pick up jmj and get the fuck out of there

[Katty Bard]

Oh, I didn't realize I had access to other rooms.

Anywhere in the post office.

[JDGA]

Follow theamatuer and telekinetically unlock the door if he can't do it physically

[izakthegoomba]

Shit, you can really get telekinitic powers just like that? Looks like ambitious moves are the way to go.

[JDGA]

Of course, ambitious moves are REALLY dangerous if you don't get a 4 or 5. I mean, there was a steak knife FLYING AT MY HEAD!
(Not to mention if I roll a 1 trying to use them I'll probably lose them...)

[AcRv]

Okay, so there's no immediately obvious way to release a fire breathing dragon onto the aliens... there goes that plan.

I don't really want to do this, but I think it would actually be better for jmj to be lying there... assuming they think he's dead (which I think is pretty likely given the other corpse who was in the enclosure with us, so they're not new to corpses in enclosures), they should leave him be, so providing we're able to hide for a bit we can get him out later.

[AcRv]

Actually, screw that.

Action: Pick up

jmj3000

my wii remote and run wherever Izak runs.

Izak can carry jmj3000.

[Packbat]

Oh, I didn't realize I had access to other rooms.

Anywhere in the post office.

Oh, crap, I confused you with Mist7676! You're not in the post office, you're in the apartment complex!

I'll read as "anywhere in the building".

[Mist7676]

Dammit.

If I can

Try and hide in one, but don't close the door

Run into the next room

[theplague42]

Hey everybody! I'll have internet access for the next four weeks, but my time will be extremely limited. Possibly a couple hours each night, maybe even less.
