Caravan Co. of the West (CLOSED)

Sublime's pistol clicked as she loaded a new clip in and released the slide, then let out a shrill shriek as the raider slammed into the wagon next to her and slumped to the ground with a meaty thud. She turned quickly, almost out of reflex, and fired a shot into the dead raider's head.

She blinked a few times as she stared down at the corpse. "Did... Did I kill him? Or was he dead before?" she wondered outloud to nopony in particular.

As Midnight Sky got under cover with Feather, he did not realize he was giving away their position, and when she yelled at him to take care of the raiders from the room, he nodded and smiled as he quickly reload and took aim at one of the raiders on the left side of the roof taking five shots at the raider before taking cover and shooting another three times. Looking around he would see if there was anything he could use to his advantage to help combat these raiders.[PER 7]

As Rhodu swooped down for another, he then had the attention of most of the raiders at the top of the ridge. As he came down, they turned their fire to him. Several rounds clipped him as he dove, but the raider he was aiming for still took a talon to the face and was tossed down the side of the short cliff where Half Stitch filled him up with lead from his SMG.

However, in the time it took all this to happen, Rodney managed to waddle his heavy weapon up to the side of the cliff and began to tank his way toward the raiders, his mini-gun roaring as bullets sprayed toward them. Several raiders practically dissolved in the wake of the gun, all the while Rodney wore a baneful grin across his muzzle. Suddenly a round flew in and struck Rodney on the side, burying itself under his skin. He barely noticed, and continued his rampage.

Then the raider taking cover behind the car Sublime had been shooting out popped back out. A crazed mare with a Psychotic helmet on began to pop rounds back at her, one plowing into her side. Luckily for her, the weapon was in such disrepair it was seconds from blowing up in the raider's face, and the round did little damage, only hurt a lot as it was wedged between two bones.

10 raiders alive and unharmed.
4 raiders killed by Rodney.
1 raider killed by Rhodu and Half Stitch.
Rhodu received 5 indirect hits. 3 to the wings, 2 to the torso.
Rodney received 1 indirect hit to the ribs.
Sublime received 1 direct hit to the ribs.


Midnight's shots rang past the raiders on the roof, suppressing them back behind their cover. To his left he would find a ladder going up to the roof.

As his shots fired off, he would look around to see a ladder on his left. He would continue firing off at the raiders until he arrived at the ladder where he would quickly reload and climb up the ladder stealthily. Looking over the top, if he had saw some raiders he would quickly let out a ring of shots either hitting them or making him run giving him the perfect opportunity to get behind some cover.

Rhodu let out a muffled cry as he felt his wings get clipped by a few rounds. Looking around he dove for the nearest cover and laid next to it until the bullets stopped hailing down on him. Looking up behind him he tried to spot a safe path for him to sneak back up on the raiders.

(Checking out my surroundings for safe passage and see if I'm hidden again; Sneak 42, Per 9)

Sublime let out a squeal as she was being shot out, then stopped making noise all together when she was hit. She was hit! Her mind went oblivious to everything around her aside from the round now lodged in her rib cage. She fell back onto the ground and curled up some under the wagon, thinking she was dying. After a few moments, she realized she was not mortally injured, however, as her strength did not leave her.

She inspected the wound for a moment, then rolled onto her side and returned fire at the raider who had shot her.

Mix cursed at the raider and took out his own Hatchet and charged towards the charging raider and yelled "You scum don't deserve to live."

Mix's Hatchet swings against the raiders hatchet in a big clank of metal, causing Mix to look strait into the raiders eyes while his own eyes begin to water "You unholy murderers..."

[swings hatchet aimed for the raider pony's head - AP cost: 8 - Crit. Chance: x3]

Swift dove into the ground and dug straight towards the closet raider and popped out swinging her knife "Die." She screamed at him. She swung as many times as she could before diving back into the safety of the ground.

Tiberius growled with annoyance as he inspected the wound on his cheek. T'was nothing serious though as he surveyed the battle and continued, spotting the plank and quietly climbing onto it to cross into the next building after he'd liberated the dead ponies in this room of their possessions.

Once in the next room, as quietly as possible, he would simply move up behind the raider and grip their head with his hooves before twisting to snap their neck.

(Unarmed 41, sneak 37, sneaking up behind raider and snapping neck after looting dead raiders in previous room.
10 AP to sneak, rest of AP used on unarmed attack.)

Amnesia had followed Mix, keeping his 6 covered when she heard the sound of steel on steel. She turned around and found him wrestling a raider. Taking aim with her pistol, she was ready to take out the savage in case things became.... unfavorable.
Mixtape was in the way, and she didn't have a clear shot just yet.

"I've got you covered buddy!"

(Taking aim at the raider struggling with Mix. Won't fire unless Mix fails. Pretty close, no more than 10 feet.)

Jackpot decided to take a more tactical approach. As soon as the raiders appeared, he dug his claws into the ground and started to dig. He spent some time underground, missing the first bit of combat. He eventually emerged behind the raiders, intending to take them by surprise. Thanks to his tremor sense, he was relatively confident that he would emerge within melee range of one of the farthest raiders. Popping out of the ground with a hatchet already moving, Jackpot hoped the element of surprise was with him for once. He clamped a paw over the ponies muzzle to silence it as his ax arced towards its neck, hoping for a quick kill so he could move on to the next one without being noticed. If luck was with him for once, the other raiders would be too busy shooting at the rest of the party to look back and see him.

[tunneling under the raiders to emerge at the back, attacking the nearest raider with the intent to surprise him and kill him before he warns the others. Melee 44, sneak 41]

IT seemed most of the raiders were keeping a distant or running, most of there party dealing with the ones that had the common scene to run leading her to believe that they had some wits to them either it be for their own sake for running from a heavily armed pony or the fact of getting reinforcements. But for now they had to deal with the ones currently attacking them, None of them were to close to attack with her metal claws and refusing to abandon her new found friend she pulled out her Varmint Rifle, not the best of weapons but it had a better range, taking aim at the nearest Raider that was not in the unfortunate gaze of Rodney and opened fire, if she didn't hit them it would at least cause them to doge giving the heavy pony time to get them in his own sights.

Midnight Sky gets to the top of the ladder and spots three raiders on the roof shooting down at the group still. As he gets to the top, one spots him.
"Hey, fucker!" he shouts, the others notice and they begin to train their weapons on him.

Rhodu is not hidden, a few rounds are still peppering the front of his cover.

One of Sublime's shots manage to puncture the raider's armor and goes into her chest. She seizes fire for a moment, and is beginning to bleed out. But she doesn't stop, she continues to fire back at Sub, now frenzied with a new-found rage.

The raider threw himself at Mixtape. As Mix swung his hatchet around, the raider could not catch himself but instead changed direction. The hatchet stuck him on the face and cut a large gash under his cheekbone, his already patchy and rad-eaten fur and skin split open and began to ooze blood down his jaw and onto his neck. He growled at Mix, and swung his hatchet back at him, but now angry and disoriented managed to shave off a few strands of Mix's mane and nothing more before lunging once more and pushing on the pony, trying to wrestle him to the ground.

(Swift, gotta treat it like a roll. Mind your AP use, I can't work with your post much because its lacking details. Can't just hit the easy button and say "stabbed until they're dead and moves on") The raider she swung at indeed was caught off guard, and all four of Swift's slashes cut into his back and side. However, this was not enough to kill him, as he weakly turned and fired his pistol into her shoulder.

Tiberius is now the proud owner of trashy a 9mm pistol and an extra clip of ammo for it, and a poorly treated varmint rifle as well as a few rounds for it as well on the two dead raiders' bodies. As he made his way toward the other roof top, the raider fired her weapon down into the streets. Tiberius snuck up behind her successfully, but failed to notice she was about to toss a grenade over the side of the roof. As her body slumped to the gravel roof top, the apple-shaped fragmentation grenade landed beside her, unpinned and without a spoon, bound to blow in a few seconds.

Jackpot caught the raider he had come up behind. The raider noticed him, but was dead far before he could do anything as his bloodied corpse rested in Jack's large paws. The raider next to him, however, wasn't happy that his friend was dead now and turned his double barreled shotgun on the ghoulified diamond dog.
Both barrels flashed, and Jack's body was scattered with hot pellets. They barely punctured him, as the weapon and the ammunition was very badly cared for. Still, probably hurt like hell.

As Whitefeather took aim and fired, she managed to pop a raider in the shoulder. He grunted, and nearly toppled over at the hit, but wasn't quite out yet. He stood tall again, and began to focus his fire on the griffon who had just attacked him with a 10mm pistol. His rounds flew wildly around Fea, some whizzing past her but none actually hitting her.


Tiberius killed one raider.
Jackpot killed one raider.

As he got up the ladder he would see the three raiders shooting down, one quickly noticed him and alerted the others, quickly finding some cover on the rooftop he would begin to shoot back at the three raiders. Looking for a defect in the rooftops structures, if he found one he would manipulate it by shooting it, causing the raiders to fall into said hole, killing them or injuring them. If no defect was found he would continue to shoot at the raiders aiming for their hoofs so that they could not fight back,then execute the accordingly. He would also look to make sure they could not flank him and take him by surprise, looking for something that could possibly explode if he had shot it.

(basically i am looking for structural faults in the rooftop to cave it in and if possible looking for a propane tank or something that explodes to shoot at)

AP used: 16

Swift felt the shot and winced in pain before she pulled out her pistol and shot at the raider point blank a few times.

(pulling out pistol and firing four times point blank at the raider that shot her. Guns 41 AP 30)

Rhodu let out a hiss as he heard the bullets pepper his cover. Taking a few deep breaths he peeked up from his cover and drew out his pistol, taking aim he fired at any slaver he could see.

(firing at closest slaver he can see; Guns 42, Per 9)

Recoiling from the blast, Jackpot felt a score of pellets tear his dead flesh. The thunderous report from the gun dazed him for a moment thanks to his sensitive hearing, and it took him a moment to recover. Thankfully, his nerves had been dulled by becoming a ghoul and he felt little pain. Making a mental note to soak up some radiation and heal later, he swung his hatchet at the raiders shotgun to knock it away, drawing his second ax to swing at the raider himself.

[knocking the shotgun away and attacking the raider, Melee 44]

He needs help. Now.
Waiting for a clear shot, she held out her 9mm to shoot when the moment came. That moment came.
Amnesia aimed, let out a breath and fired at the raider twice, being extremely cautious not to shoot Mix himself.

[Fired 9mm twice, 10AP, close quarters. Guns 23.]

Upon snapping the raider's neck and only just noticing the grenade, Tiberius' eyes widened and still holding the corpse, he pushed it ontop of the grenade before diving away to get out of the blast, trying to keep himself out of the explosion whilst staying inside the room.

(All AP on dodging.)

Mix now eye to eye with this evil monster forced to look at his gashed open head. Mix looks deep into the raiders bloodshot eyes and said "So i'm gonna die the same way my parents did?" Mix sighs "At least I took out as many of you fuckers as I could..."

Mix then feels a spark of hope as Amnesia cocked her weapon and fired at the bloodthirsty fucker of a pony.

As Midnight Sky ran across the roof looking for any weak spots near the raiders he would not find one. The roof seemed quite sturdily built as it had mostly stood over the years. However, directly in front of Midnight, if he decided not to stop running, was a section of the roof which had broken and swung down into the building below like a ramp. Around it were a few metal vents and AC units which could also provide decent cover.

As he began to fire at the raiders' hooves, only one actually took a hit above the ankle. The raider let out a loud "Yow!" dropping his pistol from his mouth and fell back to nurture his wound. The other raiders continued to shoot at Midnight, their bullets flying all around him but none actually hitting yet. Yet. (try not to attempt too many actions at once, keep AP in mind)

Swift's quick counter attack dispatched the raider quickly; her rounds pounding into his chest, neck and head, blasting through his armor at the point blank range.

As Rhodu peeked up from behind his cover and began to pop off a few shots, a stray round from a raider's rifle flew in and smacked the top of his cover; which was a dead tree. As it did, chunks of bark and wood burst into his face. Hopefully he had his eyes closed. Then, the raider noticing the griffon was possibly blinded, he decided to pull out a grenade and toss it over behind the tree.

Jackpot is successful at disarming the raider. As the raider began to reach for a knife tucked into her belt, Jackpot's other hatchet was pulled out faster and sliced through her throat. The pony fell to the ground, bleeding and retching some before keeling over and finally dying.

Amnesia had hit her target just as many times as she had missed it. The first one flew over the pony's back into who-knows-where, and the other struck him in the shoulder. The raider buck frenzied further at the sudden pain. Clearly he was high on Buck. The roided out pony tossed Mix out of the way and threw himself at Amnesia now, jumping at her and throwing all his weight on top of her. He snarled and snapped at her face, readying his hooves to pound on her.

Tiberius' quick actions saved him his life as the raider's body exploded into pieces, and splattered gore across the roof top and on top of the zebra who was taking cover nearby. All the raider's belongings were destroyed or lost, but at least Tiberius was still alive.



1 Raider killed by Swift Claws.
1 Raider killed by Jackpot.
1 Raider's leg crippled by Midnight.
Rhodu's head crippled.

Fea Scoffed at the Raider in his attempt to shoot her, thankful for the fact either he was a bad shot, she upset him that much, or that her shot to the shoulder had thrown him off that much that he couldn't hold himself right, but her job wasn't done till he was lifeless on the Wasteland floor. Whitefeather popped off the last shot in his direction before quickly reloading and firing off two more rounds at him, not testing her luck as she readied herself for a rage filled retaliation of anger and bullets

Rhodu quickly started to rub his eyes as he felt the pieces of wood fly into them. Standing up he started trying to clean away the debris. He was so busy that he didn't even notice the grenade landing next to him, as he cleared out his eyes finally he looked around with wide eyes as he saw the grenade laying next to him. "Crap..."

~BOOM~

In a second it was over, the grenade went off and blew Rhodu away. Flopping onto the ground he felt the world spinning around him as his ears rang and his sight grew dark. As his head spun all he thought about was all he left behind at his home. After a time a smile crept across his face, his regrets flowed away from him as he only had happy memories to think of as the last of his life slipped away. His final breath sighed out of him as his body went limp.

Spotting the cover he was looking for, Midnight sky would continue to shoot at the raiders taking notice of the one that had just dropped his gun, taking note of this he would give him a few rounds to the head hoping to hit it and drop it, afterwords begin to shoot the other raiders aiming for the hoofs immobilizing them and finishing them off. Taking the time to reload slowly, he would begin to look around to see if the raiders had stashed anything around that could be useful to him, while still taking out the raiders one by one.

Amnesia stumbled to the ground with the crazy raider on top of her. She did her best to keep his erratic snaps from her face as she attempted to sock him in the jaw to buy some time. Afterwards she would take her pistol back out and fire one round at him, point blank.

[Threw a punch, [6 AP] Unarmed 21. If the punch was successful, go ahead and let Amnesia take a shot at him. 9mm. [5 AP] Preferably up the lower jaw and through his head.)
