HEAT IN THE JUNGLE: Turn 1
Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 8:47 pm
Hello and welcome back to Heat in the Jungle! Let's get this show back on the road, exactly 2 months after the signup!
Venice Away: Quadruple.Digits
The two unarmed troopers near the pier get behind cover, the Surfer behind the Isle of Corpses and the other behind the skull barrel.
These two get behind other body crates and set up reaction fire.
The APC fires both cannons at the closest men not under protection of the hostage, one misses while the other hits and overkills, but not enough to kill the guy behind him.
The troops inside the bar abandon their food and drink and take defensive positions inside the bar, ready to break some windows if needed.
The officer makes like a bat out of hell across the lake, leaving a sick combination contrail/wake behind him.
Eventually he ends up on the bandstand, almost hitting a cymbal with his SMG.
The two men watching the view send some potshots outside the protected area, killing one guy.
They then retreat to cover at the bandstand, one troop takes Slab's bike over towards the bar.
Not entirely sure who took this shot, but it whoever it got a sweet headshot on this heavy, pulping his head inside his helmet.
Commander Slab Squatthrust attempts to do a heroic leg day leap onto the APC, but fails, not taking damage but becoming disrupted in the process.
Captain Red’s Revolutionary Red Army: Piltogg
The Red Army splits up into several segments, the majority heading towards the APC with the hostage.
The two guards defending the bodies get gored so hard they mess up the photo, seriously it was like 4 ranged attacks per target hitting dead on with at least two crits.
the Diver easily decapitates the Surfer even with cover modifier, spilling blood in the water...
The man on the missile rack tries to continue the string of successes by firing a rocket at the defenders in the Gatehouse, but unfortunately he rolls a crit fail on skill, launching all of the rockets at once in random directions.
I rolled a scatter die for each rocket, the first one drops straight down and blows up the cart, killing the pilot and one nearby freedom fighter.
The second lands a couple feet away, only hitting the cow. However, the damage roll critted 3 times in a row, sending the poor cow right into orbit.
The third rocket lands at the back of a cluster of melee troops, killing 4 of them in a messy explosion.
The final rocket hits the guys standing by the lake, killing a sniper who failed to hit the troop behind the barrel, a heavy, and a rifleman.
Kommisar Vladimir shows the deceased missile guy how to use explosives by taking a fallen heavy's RPG and firing a dead-on shot at Slab Squatthrust.
Luckily the guard on top of the APC notices and is quick enough to push Slab out of the AOE effect (redshirt) he dies, and the APC remains unharmed.
Unfortunately Slab has no such protection against the follow up attacks, chipping away an HP while he yells "I AIN'T GOT TIME TO BLEED!"
Prinz Karl “Gustav”: Silverdream
Deciding that his totally German Katana isn't going to cut it in this upcoming fight, he decides to loot his ally's armory for better gear.
From this he manages to get a cool shotgun and an RPG loaded with 4 size-2 missiles! He is ignorantly blissful of the track record of quad-missile launchers and poses happily with his loot.
Venice Home: Alex (subbed for by MGB)
General Carver decides to power up by activating the "Self Harm SuperPower" function of his Thorn suit, and readies his knife to give himself cool scars.
Unfortunately his bloodthirsty suit has a mind of its own, and Carver starts to go berserk, luckily a self-sacrificing soldier nearby recognizes the danger and stops the General from mutilating himself by leaping onto his commander's blade.
The Fire Sniper scans the field, looking for his favorite target, something explosive. Seeing something, he takes the shot.
His shot flies true, blowing straight through Captain Red's hoverboard, causing it to violently explode.
Luckily Captain Red had a feat in reserve, and uses it to make a 3-point landing on the APC, taking no fall damage and looking like a badass.
The Space Detective, seeing that the battle is starting, turns his interrogation subject into a human shield, before realizing he has no ranged weapon to make use of this.
Il Duchessa: Scratch
The Varangian Guard rests against the wall, ready to make a reaction feat at the slightest threat to Il Duchessa.
Bartender: Bfenix
The Bartender pours a drink for Fez Sheep and starts small talk. "Hey, there's that empty band platform right by the bar, are there any Metalheads crafty with instruments that I can jam with in the house?"
Team Sheep: Lawmaster
The Sheep start spreading out, searching for something. One breaks a window to exit, irking the bartender. "Hey, that's going on your tab!"
The Fez Sheep uses his powerful psychic abilities to do a mental search of the bar, looking for something...
He senses a vault in the back, but doesn't find any trace of his target.
Meanwhile, in Labor...
Doctor Almagna: "Alright, the contractions will start soon, so do some deep breathing exercises while you're chugging that painkiller."
Prinz Karl wanders around while his wife goes into labor.
Il Duchessa: "Come here and hold my hand Gustav, I'm giving birth for Cthulu's sake!"
Prinz Karl "Gustav": "Oh, sorry dear."

If you look closely in the background, you can see the Red Army Monkey, he was the only one who noticed the crit-fail rockets and crit-bailed all the way onto the roof of the mansion.
