Part Three: Illicit Earnings

[Hayabusa]

"I agree, the flowers are a source that is not of much importance now but one that is easier harvested by the Trask themselves than anyone else. Yes, the flowers are not one of the things I would put up, Ardus," Trask has nodded before they went to the meeting.

Tiber is clad in his wide, trader cloak that bears the marks of his previous endeavors and those of his family and he also carries his power sword at his side. "It mattes only that we gain what we want here. Anything else is not of much importance. If it turns out that they demand more or take it by force, you are free to see fit to any appropriate response, Lorayne."

[Trogdor]

Aleksander follows quietly. He is wearing his xenomesh under his robes, and has his pistol at his side. One could never be too careful in Footfall.

[Grimbold]

The crew enter the bar and you see some ragged looking men and a woman near a door leading into a back room. The woman is pointing a combat shotgun at another man, probably the barkeeper. Three more are guarding the back door, which is closed, and holding autoguns. But you can hear screams coming from the back room. Obviously, someone is getting hurt.

"None of your business. This place is closed today. Get lost!" the woman says to you.

[thehitcat]

Lorayne keeps her hands in plain sight (still holding the small suitcase) and says simply while watching the barkeep and the woman. "We're here to meet Honko." If either of them looks/flinches toward the back room, indicating that perhaps it's Honko getting the rough treatment, she springs into action not wanting to loose the lead she got last night. If no one moves or indicates she'll back slowly out of the room with a "But I see he's not here at present." and try to avoid a firefight.

Ardus moves up tp protect teh Lord-Captain and cover Lorayne's flank. He's decked out in his newly upgraded arour and his usual combat kit. He levels the barrel of his assault las into the bar and brings up his combat shield to cover his torso.

[Grimbold]

When Lorayne mentions Honko, one of the men quickly glances at the door. That is enough for the Arch-Militant, and she and the crew spring into action.

There are
Woman with shotgun aimed at the barkeeper, near the bar on the right.
Three guards with autoguns close to the back door. Everyone is within 12m, but you are at the moment, not at point blank.

[Hayabusa]

Convinced that their contact is behind the door, Trask draws his power sword and brings it to life. The blade is sheathed in a lethal haze of a disruptive energy field in an instant as the captain of the Black Griffon strides forward.

"FOR THE TRASK DYNASTY! BRING THEM DOWN!" He shouts as he rushes towards the closest man.

[thehitcat]

Lorayne yells "Duck!" at the bartender and opens up with her Stormbolter on the woman with the shotgun.

Action

Aim and Fire

[Grimbold]

Trask moves forward and slashes at the first guard - but the man ducks in time and the blow goes wide.

Lorayne switches to full auto and blows big holes into the wall with her explosive ammo and two shots also hammer into the woman's body, and she falls down, with exploded innards.

One goon attempts to clobber Trask with the butt of his gun, but the agile captain easily evades the blow.

Another panics and goes full auto on Lorayne, but his aim is bad and most bullets go astray. One pierces her armor and causes a minor shoulder wound.

The third one also hits full auto with his autogun and points it straight at Ardus. A hail of bullets goes down on him and while many are deflected by his armor or shield, a few hit his legs and tear muscles and flesh out. two bullets go straight through and hit the ground behind the missionary. Ardus Helum sways, but for now, he is still standing, barely!

Aleksander...

[Trogdor]

Aleksander stays where he is, but quickly draws his hellpistol from its holster. He raises it up and allows the dot of the laser sight to rest on the chest of one of the goons before he pulls the trigger.
