Round 5 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8
Solaria can hear the screaming of the incoming and turns, she holds her carbine out to her side and squeezes the trigger down. Her target isn't the man facing her, but the one Voicer she can see through the pall of smoke barreling through the locals. Her gun barks over and over sending a lead hose of bullets through the air. Even with the smoke making aiming hard to do she fires into the arm of the enemy, walking her shots up his arm to his shoulder, then his face, then back down into his chest. Nearly half of the spray of bullets connect with the enemy. His arm is blow clean off by the many shots that blast into his flesh, and with a perfect kill shot to the face, the man's head explodes knocking him backwards a meter to fall bleeding in a pulpy mess of twitching Ashleen.
Solaria: Full Auto #3: Short +10, Full Auto +20, Palls of Smoke -20: 02 Hit Right Arm for 3W-4T=0W: +4 Successes!, Arm 9W-4T=5W, Body 7W-4T=3W, Head 11W-4T=7W, Body 10W-4T=6W = SERIOUSLY DEAD! (21 Wounds total!)
Rego steps around the tent to see his target blown to pieces, so he keep s moving to engage the other Voice. "...And fierce shall be the righteous man's wrath!!!", his voice rings out and draws the last man's attention away from the innocences and to the Cleric.
This is where posting ahead sort of hurts. I compensated and just had Rego move to engage the last guy
The two Ashleen Voicers each have a target and each throws themselves into a frenzy of choping and hacking with their cleavers. Rego ducks the wild swing and readies to impale the man in a moment. Solaria spins and moves out of the way of a slow overhand chop that strikes the ground right where she was standing amoment ago. Truely the Emperor is blessing you as you continue to struggle on to save the people of Stern Hope.
Ashleen: #4 All out vs Rego: 78 Miss
Ashleen #5: All out vs Solaria: 93 Miss
Round 6 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8

Posting ahead V. Solaria will be here in a second.
Rego's blade flashes through the smoke. Its great circular arc winding around to gain momentum before the strike. The priest's frame twisting in what seems like an impossible way to carry the inertia of the emperor's justice. Rego yells violently to catch his preys attention, "May the God Emperor forgive your sins for I will not". There is an anger in his voice as the swords edge nears the end of its task...
Full attack vs. #4.

"The Emperor won't forgive you, shit, Voicer! Ahhhhh!", Solaria screams as she lunges once again with the bayonet as she turns at teh man. She pulls the carbine back and jabs forwards, mindful of getting the blade stuck in his ribs...
Aim and attack +10 WS vs #5

I think Rego means All Out Attack :wink:

Round 6 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8
Solaria turns back to face the man before her. Mindfull to not stick her bayonet in his ribs too tightly she strikes with a hint of hesitation, the attack is too obvious, and the man dodges it to the side avoiding being stuck in the chest with the blade.
Solaria: Aim +10, Attack: 52 vs 40 Miss
Rego then goes all out, he offers the Ashleen a hope that someone might give him mercy, because the Cleric won't. He hacks, all out with all his might, almost in a frenzy himself. The massive sword chops into the Voicer's leg and cleaves a huge hunk of flesh off crippling the man. Buckling the enemy drops to one knee bleeding and screaming in unison.
Rego: All out Attack +20 (No Dodge/Parry), Fatigued -10 vs #4: 19 Hit Left Leg for 10 Wounds '€" 4T = 6 Wounds
Then the two remaining men attack back, Solaria ducks and weaves, and avoids the wild attacks of the Voicer, her training in armor helps her keep dancing around the tribal man. Rego however, has over extended himself, and the Voice, on his knee, hacks into Rego's belly with a horizontal chop. His cleaver slices across the flack jacket and slices into skin. The wound is minimal, but out here in the bloody face of battle even a small wound could be the end of someone if not looked at.
Ashleen
#5: All Out Attack: +20 vs Solaria: 86 Miss
#4: All Out Attack +20 vs Rego: 6 Hit Torso For 9W '€" 6AP(Primative Weapon) -2T=1 Wound
Round 7 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8

Solaria keeps circling the man, parrying and stabbing. She feints to one side and thrusts back at him, trying to finally end this madness once and for all. I wonder how the others are doing...

"...And the pentinant man shall find forgiveness before the God Emperor!!!", the words roar through the mask Rego's wearing. A combination of scripture and pain driving the priest, he raises the great blade and brings it down towards the kneeling man before him...
Full attack again on #4...

Round 7 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8
Solaria docks and weaves, she moves around the man and stabs with the bayonet on her carbine and connects with the blade. Sinking the weapon into the man's side, just under his arm, the blow is deep, and the wound is serious. Only the rage of the Voicer keeps him fighting after taking the brutal stab.
Solaria Aim +10, Attack: 25 Hit Torso for 12W-4T=8 Wounds
Rego, after being hit, finishes what he started. With a powerful chop a second time into the man's wounded leg he screams out a prayer as he hacks 'the penitant' man's wounded leg clean off this time. The greatsword lops the appendage from the man, making a jagged cut through the bone and sending the Voicer toppling into the bloody pool at his feet.
Rego All Out +20, 19 Hit Left Leg for 16 Wounds -4T=12 Wounds, DEAD!
The Voicer, the last one, facing Solaria howls, the sounds of battle still ring out in other places around the settlement. He hacks the woman, but at the last second she parries the attack once more! The strike is heavy, and i causes Soliara's grip to falter on her weapon and the carbine is knocked free -- but the weapon is on a strap and so it never hits the ground, it just hangs there waiting for her to pick it back up and stab the man again.
Ashleen: All Out vs Solaria: 08 Hit Right Leg [Parry: 24! Success]


You are one lucky SoB this fight!

The smoke shifts and suddenly everyone finds themselves in it. Rego's rebreather means he doesn't even notice the smoke, save for his aim through it. The smoke around Solaria and the last enemy is thick, and her filtration plugs can't work fast enough. She starts to cough, but so does the Voicer. Both refuse to give up the fight, but both are suffering from smoke inhalation now choking and coughing as they circle one another.
Smoke: Toughness Test:
Rego: Immune
Solaria: Filtration +20: 78 Fail!, Fatigued 1 Level -10 to all actions
Voicer: 78 Faitgued
Round 8 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8
Coughing, Solaria...

Jiggly asked me to post for him V.
Solaria's flesh begins to darken as sweat and gore merge with the smoke that has gathered about the two combatants. Joining to form thin trivulets that streak down her face and pool about her neckline. She snaps her arm in a practiced motion sending her carbine back to her grasp. Her feet once again taking up a rhythmic dance on the dirt below her feet. Then she sees what she has been waiting for. The bayonet lunges forward violently, looking to find purchase on the damaged voicer, who too seeks death...
Quick draw to retrieve weapon. Aim +10 and attack #5 with bayonet.
Rego turns to the surviving civilians and yells with a rasping voice, "To the citidel!!!", a bloodstained finger pointing backwards. Then without any further instruction the priest launches himself towards Solaria's position, his blade cutting through the thick air...
Move/Move W,W,W,W,W,NW to Solaria's position...

Round 8 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8
Solaria dances, darting in and out as she swings her carbine and bayonet back up into her hands. She jabs out with the moutned blade, but the Ashleen knocks it to the side with his cleaver. Behind Solaria Rego shouts orders to the citizens who take off at a scream doing as ordered. He then darts in to Solaria's side, his massive sword comign with him.
Solaria: Aim +10, Fatigue -10: 51 Miss
Rego: Move/Move
Then the luck of Solaria runs out, or does it? The Ashleen hacks in low with his cleaver, the massive weapon catches the woman on the right leg, and slices, bashes, and chops all at once into her unarmored leg! The blow is weak, knocked a bit to the side by her attempt to parry the heavy weapon. She cries out as she's stuck.
Ashleen: All Out +20, Fatigue -10, vs Solaria 28 Hit! [Parry: 82 Fail!] Hit Right Leg for 7 Wounds '€" 4T = 3 Wounds

If you want to spend a Fate Point you can, include it in your post, you can attempt to re-roll your parry, or instal heal 1d5 wounds. Your offer to be a Sister of Battle was just revoked ;)
Round 9 Initiative: Soliara 13 (Wary +1!), Rego 9 (Wary +1!), Ashleen 8

Rego is 1N fo Solaria, you now outnumber the guy 2 to 1. You both get +10 to your melee attacks.
Solaria, hit, but how badly has yet to be truely seen...
