The Prologue (1941) - Part I

[Flay Crimsonwind]

((HAHAHA, love the Pulp Fiction reference!))
Eisen looks down at himself, around at the room behind him, then looks up and fires at Hanz before pulling himself around the corner to M-8, crouching to try and avoid being potentially hit a second time, muttering "...Divine Intervention..." under his breath.

To hit: 21!
To "pop cap in Hanz's nazi ass" (read: damage): 16

[jacemachine]

[[ If either Sgt Kestrel or Russo want to try to kill Hanz before/as Eisen does, now is their chance...

This death will effectively end the combat round however, you are all welcome to do any remaining actions you had planned on doing this round.

You will find that no further gunfire errupts, nor do you see any Nazis lurking about the fringes of the building...

Of course none of that has any bearing on the fact that Nazi friendly Santa Boca authorities will be arrive soon not to mention any additional help the Nazis bring with them this time... ]]

And this is what happened:

Russo fires another shot-- this one right between Eisen and Richard, and sailing past Max-- it wings Nazi Hanz in the right arm.

To Hit: 21
Damage: 7

[[ Eisen and Kestrel have the same Initiative, but Bowen has the higher Dex, which is usually how I break the tie-breakers. Kestrel may try to get a piece of Nazi ass, and if he misses, Eisen's shot will certainly put him down.

So much for surrender. ]]

John aims around the corner, shooting at the nazi behind the wall. "Looks like you're going to give me my first Nazi scalp on this trip." he grins as he puts a bullet into his enemy.

Attack: 27
Damage: 13

[Neull//]

Max is quite shocked since he feels a rain of bullets passing around him, hitting the nazi he just disarmed!


“hmmm, guys…I disarmed him to acquire intelligence not aiming skills!”

“Anyway quickly search the bodies for any useful information and lets get the hell out of here!”

Once this is over, Max picks up his .45 pistol and moves towards the body of the nazi, standing outside on the road, in front of him. He retrieves his submachine gun, any additional ammunition, his fatigue jacket and any piece of information he may find on him.

ROUND 6

In summary

RUSSO
Russo fires another shot-- this one right between Eisen and Richard, and sailing past Max-- it wings Nazi Hanz in the right arm.

JOHN
John aims around the corner, shooting at the nazi behind the wall. "Looks like you're going to give me my first Nazi scalp on this trip." he grins as he puts a bullet into his enemy.

EISEN
Eisen looks down at himself, around at the room behind him, then looks up and fires at Hanz before pulling himself around the corner to M-8, crouching to try and avoid being potentially hit a second time, muttering "...Divine Intervention..." under his breath.


Hanz is shot three times. The first was by Russo... the second two, simultaneously by both John Kestrel and Eisen.

There is very little of the man's head and face left to question...


There is a bit of a ruckus towards the rear stairs as PADRE comes rushing up the stairs and up into the bar.

The first thing you notice is he's wearing the biggest damn sombrero you've ever laid eyes on. It's big enough to keep him and maybe a small dog dry if it were to start raining...

The second thing you notice is that he's heavily armed. He's got a shotgun in one hand, an old western style revolver in the other... across his chest are crisscrossed bullet belts.

On his face he looks eager to fight... but as soon as he sees that the front of his Cantina is on fire he drops his weapons on the bar and rushes back downstairs yelling "¡Oh no! ¡Mi cantina hermoso! ¡Ayuda! ¡Necesito conseguir el agua!"


"Idiot." Bones mutters loud enough for those in the room to hear. "All right. Someone get your ass downstairs and grab the canteens and waterskins that Padre filled up before the shooting started. If you're not quick about it he may start dumping the contents out all over his bar! Anyway, we need to get the hell out of here!"

He goes to the back door, unlocks it, and peeks outside. "All clear!"

[j0lt]

Hearing the commotion from Padre, Loder quickly replaces the bottle and invoices on the table and slowly walks out of the bar area towards Bones.   

[Tarotdragoon]

Russo lurches forward, dropping the gun in his hand to the floor (safety on first) he reaches behind the bar, grunting with pain and pulls a bottle of whisky down from a shelf, pulls out the stopper and takes a swig. He Grimaces as the bottle is replaced on the bar top, he moves to sit a bar stool leans over to pick up his pistol (some more grunting) he places the gun next to the whisky bottle and looks at his blood covered hand, as if contemplating something abstract.

"we got any aid kits around?"

[Nanshork]

Richard ignores his wound and puts his rifle back over his shoulder. "We can patch you up later, we need to leave before more Nazi's arrive."

[Flay Crimsonwind]

"That's right; whomever is a good medic can patch us all up once we're a safe hidden distance away. Now, let's see...." Eisen crouches down and sees if he can tell whether all of his equipment is bunk, or if it was miraculously just buried beneath two Germans.

Take twenty for a search check: 22.

If anything's intact, calls out "Anyone able to help me with this chandelier?"

[jacemachine]

Max takes a short cut through the larger smashed back window, past the body of Nazi Fritz. He tracks blood across the pew as he stepped onto it. He peered out the window, tentatively at first. It was just as likely some Nazis could be still hiding, or about ready to show up to assist their Late comrades.

No Nazis. But he does see what looks like the party’s pack mules tethered together out back behind the Cantina in a grove of cieba and mahogany trees. Two familiar cowboy-hatted individuals could be seen peeking out from behind a tree near the mules.

The coast is clear and Max walks around the side of the building and located the fresh corpse of the Nazi who had just got shot to death just moments after Max had snatched his SMG out of his hands with a quick flick of his wrist.

The Nazi was dressed in his fatigues. And seemed to be equipped with the majority of his gear:

Nazi Helmet
Nazi Fatigues (worn, bloodstained)
Nazi Fatigue Jacket
Walther P-38 (in holster)
MP 38 9mm submachine gun (on ground at side.)
4 spare box magazines
Tactical knife
Compass
Wallet w/ photos of dog his dog. There is money inside; German and Guatemalan both. Add a +4 to your WB.
A letter written in his native tongue is in his front jacket pocket.

Meanwhile…

Eisen lifts a corner of the heavy cast-iron chandelier with help from Bones who came at his call fro assistance. They shift the heavy metal wheel to the side just enough two clear the bag and parts of the crushed corpses. While Eisen checks his belongings*, Bones kicks at one of the Nazis who’s body sags inwards with every kick, like a sack of rotten potatoes. The sound of broken bones snapping more or grinding against each other is where Bones decided to draw the line.

He stopped and bent down to see if there was anything good on the men. He took 3 magazines off of dead Nazi at G-12. He tossed back a fourth because it was too dented. He removed the man’s Walther P-38 and the WP 38 smg as well as the man’s wallet.

*

Your belongings are mostly fine, but 1 item is smashed. The good news is that I’ll allow you to select that one item.

[Neull//]

Max retrieves the submachine gun and the spare magazines as well as the money from his wallet and the letter. He places the dog’s photo on the corpse’s forehead using his blood to steady it. This is just a message to the rest of them who will be arriving soon. It seems like Max really hates those people…maybe because he has lost too many of his compatriots  from them during his adventures, maybe because of the way they perceive the world, maybe for some other reason…who knows…

He then signals the brothers who are hiding behind the trees…his body language shows that he wants them to move immediately with the mules towards his position…

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Peering through his belongings, and tossing aside the snapped and torn kit that used to be climbing gear, Eisen looks down to examine the ranks of the soldiers they had just put down. Having checked, he he pulls the string on the pack tight to close and then decides to go check on the mules. Once outside, and moving slower to be more comfortable with his rifle and pack, he eventually joins up with Max. "Anything that looks to be of any importance on them?..... Ah, a ....strong message, don't you think?" Eisen observes his compatriot, and in his puzzled look wonders just what the two might have personally in common over a personally common enemy.

[Neull//]

“Extreme circumstances require extreme measures Eisen…I have been dealing with these kind of people the last 10 years of my life and I have seen, heart, tasted or felt some pretty nasty shit…they are not joking but neither am I…but I guess you must know better…”   


“Well I found this letter written in german, you may have a look later on, when we are out of here”

“What about you? Did you check the rest of the bodies?”

[BowenSilverclaw]

John goes over to the corpse of nazi Hanz, searching for any useful gear as well as any possibly useful information.

Search: 14

[j0lt]

After gathering up as many canteens as he can carry, Loder goes out the back door and around to where Paco and Esteban are hiding and distributes the canteens between the animals, as well as the brothers.  "Debemos apresurarnos antes de que vengan más nazis."

[Nanshork]

Richard ignores the bodies and goes to wait by the mules.  After a quick glance at the equipment that the League provided them he shakes his head.  What is he supposed to do with all of this useless junk?

[jacemachine]

While Kestrel checks the body*, Harrison gets his belongings together. "Come on Kid, don't feel sorry for yourself. Now isn't the time." He stuffs the wrapped burlap package from the Fortune Teller into his arms. "Come on, we need to be moving NOW." He said this to anyone listening.

Bones heads out the back door, the Kid trailing in his wake.
"Well, I'm glad to see you still have pack mules." he says to no one in particular.
