Zhang nearly drops her pistol at the sound of the door being kicked in. Hissing curses through her teeth, she quickly scrambles to the heaviest cover close to her, peeking out from behind it and catching a glimpse of a bullet embedding itself into a thug. It doesn't take her long to duck back into cover with a hand clamped over her mouth, blood drained from her face.

The heaviest cover is the wall next to the doorway. The outside of the house is still safe.

Norum tries to peer around the furniture to see if Thug 2 has any limbs sticking out and tries to fire 3 rounds through the table near perceived center of mass before ducking back behind the furniture.

He tries to get a quick look at his surroundings from behind the couch.

Thug 2 is yelling at someone else in the building, and is still clinging to the table as cover.

6 + 1 + 1 = Lead 8
Lead 8 - Thug 2 Defense 5
Result: Hit, Lead 3 +2 Damage
5 Damage - 0 Resist
Thug 2 takes 5 Damage
13/16 Rounds Remain


The rounds penetrate the table and the thug falls out of cover with some holes in his back.

Norum is in a living room, firing into a dining room looking setting. On the far wall of the dining room there is a stairwell and a door to the right of it.

Jae keeps his hands firm over the 159, crouch-running towards the nearest covering furniture.

You are now in cover behind a reclining chair, you see both thugs.

Rog attempts to tear the now opened door off its hinges and hold it between the goons and himself.

Tearing a door off its hinges is probably pretty tough: Difficulty 8

You wrench the door of its hinges and are now holding it as a shield between yourself and the thug's old firing positions.

Ryde leans so his upper-body may be visible in the doorway. He then fires at the only visible goon in an intent to kill him.

The shot lands square in his chest, and the thug goes limp.



Three more thugs present themselves. One of them appears in the stairwell, with a pistol. Another dashes from a side room in behind the table, holding a double-barreled sawn-off. The last throws open the door to the bathroom, and to his shock, sees that people are already in the house.

Thug 3 fires on Norum.

1d6 + Body + Shooting
6 + 0 + 1 = Lead 6
Lead 7 - Norum Defense 7 + 1 Cover Bonus
Result: Miss
15/16 Rounds Remain

1d6 + Body + Shooting +1 Accuracy

Lead 2 - Rog Defense 8
Result: Miss
1/2 Rounds Remain


He blows up the drywall next to Rog.



Elena, Norum, and Jae are in the living room in cover behind furniture, conferring +1 to Defense.
Zhang and Ryde are using the walls on either side of the door as cover, conferring +2 to Defense.
Rog tore the door off its hinges and is using it as cover, adding +1 Armor.

Thug 1 and 2 are limp.
Thug 3 is firing from the stairway with no cover bonus.
Thug 4 is ruining the upholstery from behind the table.
Thug 5 is befuddled in the open.

Ryde aims towards the thug by the stairway, attempting to fire towards his cranial region.

"stuff, stuff, stuff!" Norum growls through his teeth as bullets fly over his head.
"Elena, you got one at quarter past one.  I'll get the cunt on our twelve." he yells hardly hearing much over his now ringing ears from the shotgun blast, preparing to stand up.


(Next turn)

Should this execute and the mook to the right fall, Norum wouldspring/dash to the wall to the left, placing his back the the wall and covering the door then ahead of him and the gap between the two rooms.

Swallowing the bile rising from her throat and sucking air through her clenched teeth, Zhang leans out from behind her cover. She takes a brief moment to line up her sights on the shotgunner, squeezing the trigger once before ducking back behind the wall.

Rog charges blindly in the direction of the gunfire that impacted against the door until he hits something, keeping the improvised shield between him and danger the entire time.

Should doorman be accidentally running at Norum, Norum would dash early, taking a shot or two at the shotgunner if at all possible.
