"I have no serious injuries but need a short rest to recover my breath. Having a dredger latch on to me was not an enjoyable experience."

 

Gustav will rest for 10 minutes and use a resolve point to restore his stamina points.

"I am not in any current danger" (not into hit points)

 

"It's not safe to rest here.  Let's get these civiians to Fort Gallant and perhaps we will have time for a breather there before the next wave comes."

[haldir]

There isn't much time for allot of resting, but you do get in a breather. You see in the distance, there are approaching Swarm. Luckily for the party, you aren't spot, but you know the things are everywhere in the city right now.

 

Right now thou, your safe but for how long it's only a matter of time.

 

(note: It's just the party, there are no civilians in the area)

 

Someone, please give me a Culture check.

[Kangaroorex]

With a 2 I am an uncultured mouse!

[Kangaroorex]

On the other hand, if there is one thing a mouse is good at, it's finding boltholes and escape routes

 

17+3 perception to find a protected spot out of site

 

"Friends, over here! We can rest and prepare while we figure out our next move!"

Anyone else can make the check. I should have been more clear with my request. It's a general, all audience request. 

[ferret]

Culture check  19+9-2 (shaken) = 26

[Corsair]

Culture check 16+6=22

The rapid action now done with, Vitharyan, his mind still reeling at the day's events, scanned the debris cloud streaming out of Brinnoa, concrete, dust, ash.  There was disjointed sound of combat, the crack of reaction cannons, the hiss and snap of laser fire, but behind it all was a constant, low-grade humming, like cicada's on a summer's night, the Swarm, ever present, gnawing, feeding, advancing ever closer.

Vith nodded, "Roger that," he spoke into his comm, he backed away from the combat zone, found a civilian vehicle that had been abandoned in a snarl of jammed traffic, set his cannon on the roof, pointed it towards Brinnoa and kept watch while his squad, took a rest.  He did a quick inspection, bruised, tired, but his armor had held ... mostly.  Something wet slowly seeped down his thigh, the dredger's maw hadn't breached his armor, but it had compacted it around his left leg, he grimaced, took a few deep breaths, he'd get the Doc to look at it once they reached Gallant.

 

He brought up the HUD on his visor, checked their orientation, and the distance to Gallant, trying to judge how long it would take them to get to the Fort, and the best route to take.

 

Out of Character Actions

Vith will also take a Short Rest expending a Resolve to regain his Stamina, if that is permitted.

 

I'll make a Survival (Navigation check) to determine the best route between Brinnoa & Fort Gallant, and the distance we will need to travel.  I will receive a +4 circumstance bonus from my Navigation kit, and a +1 untyped bonus from my Survey Map of the region.

Survival=(1d20)+12=(12)+12=24

[Corsair]

Doc spends a Resolve point to regain Stamina.

 

"Vith, you are limping, how badly were you hit?"

[haldir]

Alright between the good Culture checks & Vith's navigation, you determine that Fort Gallant is roughly 24 miles to the west of your current location. 

 

As the party finishes up resting/healing up, you feel the aproach of a swarm patrol nearby. They don't see the party due to the dust storm still in effect & move along. There appears to be anther in the area as well.

 

It is not safe here anymore.

[Zero Prime]

Vitharyan nodded at Doc, "Vexxer tried to take my leg off," he grunted, "armor held though."  He smiled grimly, "I got 24 miles to walk it off though eh?"  He sighted through the wreckage at the swarm patrols, "We need to move though, and quickly."  He turned to his squad, "We good Midnight?  We got about 8 hours to Gallant, reload, and let's move.  Slow and low."

 

OOC:  Thinking we set Maus' drone as rear guard, and try to get clear of the Swarm patrols, if we can get ahead of them without drawing their attention, we can double time it to Gallant.  Though if we spot any SDF, or civilians along the way, I'd like to bring them with us.  Thoughts?

[Corsair]

Sounds like a good plan to me. If you are into HP, I will treat you with a med patch, saving my last 2 spells for the rest of the day. I also glance into a couple of wrecked military vehicles, hoping for a Med pack. Any Luck?

Depending of the terrain, my Desert Stride (may move normally through non-magical desert, hill and mountain terrain) may come in handy.

[Kangaroorex]

Ratticus, says "I will set Pip to move along about 20-30 meters behind us watching for anything that might be following or sneaking up on us.  It wont be much good in a fight but at least it can alert us of trouble"

 

He gives the droid its instructions and sends it on its way.  (17+8= 25 for stealth, 12 for perception)
