Terrabit's eyes widen as he is discovered and shot at. However, he seems to not have needed to worry. This is why weapons maintenance is important. "Issue logged as handled," he mutters, "Onwards and upwards, I suppose."

Sadly, he cannot climb walls. And he doubts that, even if he asked very nicely and waved his tail at them, they would throw him a rope. And so, he will head on towards the hole made at the back.

[TonberryKing]

Pixel ducks under the Pegasus' swing and dives away from him before breaking into a gallop, only skidding to a halt when she gets as far as she had before rearing back her head and firing another pixelated spinning death sword at a target: in this case a unicorn.

Deepwood dives and attacks, but the ganger dodges his punch. He doesn't seem intimidated by the batpony, instead ready to throw a punch of his own.

The ganger fighting Deepwood gets hit by Gale! Unfortunately the sting was minor. Worse yet, there's a faint "EEE!" below as another gang member on the wall spots Gale after his attack. The batpony gang member tries to shoot Gale out of the sky with her pistol.

Terrabit reaches the hole and see Zee on the other side in a firefight with a gang member. Nearby someone comes out of the main building. It is the target, Kit Incaboodle! She looks around at the damage being done to her wonderful and lucrative pony trafficking compound. The gang leader brings a sawn off shotgun up and takes some target practicing on Zee.

The unicorn gets cut down by Pixel's hard hitting blade. He's on the ground bleeding out, weapon dropped and radio being all static and noise.

 

The pegasus whispers an "oh buck." and flies toward home base, making a double move to try and out race the murdercorn child behind him.

Gale's ears perk at the sound of the batpony's war cry, but reacts too slowly to fully avoid the shot. She winces as the bullet glances off of her flank (not rump: get your minds out of the gutter).
We need to finish this target quickly.

Gale maneuvers slightly to the left to hopefully throw off the batpony while also getting out of the peripheral of Forest's target. She aims for the target's eyes for maximum fear effect, hoping to throw him off as before.
Another Clever Feint and Get 'Em. I rolled poorly for clever feint again (11 vs the DC seen a few posts back), but he's still flat footed against this attack.

I rolled 17 to hit and 3 nonlethal damage. My allies also get +1 to hit him.

 

[TonberryKing]

Pixel might be in an actual KILL MODE or she might just be trying to ensure nopony reports her back at the base. It would be horrible if she caused the bad guys know become aware of the group's presence!

 

Putting her own parkour to use, she gives chase, reminding herself to come back for the unicorn's gear no matter how this turns out, kicking off buildings and trying to keep the pegasus in range for one last laser sword!

[igordragonian12]

Deepwood snarl.

His eyes widen up as guns are brought into the picture against his friend and his marefriend.

The batpony, decide to ignore the goon infront of him, and try to dive quitly behind Incaboodle and to smash the gun in her forelegs.

Well, a sawn-off shotgun likely isn't hackable, though depending on the method used to saw it off, it might already have been 'hacked' in a different sense. Still, the breach affords some cover, and Terrabit intends to make use of it. He crouches down, unslings his rifle, and joins the fray. He figures firing a few shots at the target will make her rethink her plan and duck for cover. 'Keeping them honest', he had heard it called.

Gale hits the pony on Deepwood again. The ganger is starting to look weak from the shots, but he keeps going, thinking he could beat the batpony intruder.

 

Speaking of batponies, the mare bat ganger flies up and around. She spots Gale and shoots, but misses what should have been a fair shot. Perhaps Gale's luck is still hanging on?

Pixel's sword misses! The pegasus, sensing imminent death by a child right out of the Shining, pulls up into the air. He tries to lose Pixel, but his acrobatics needs a lot of work-- He almost clips into a building, and while he steadies himself, can still be followed by Pixel if she wishes. He has to come down in range at some point, right?

The pegasus flies back towards the compound.

Deepwood swoops away from the ganger he was fighting. That ganger takes an attack of opportunity, but misses and instead shouts curses.

 

Deep lands behind Inca and swings, but she starts moving and his attack also misses. However, she doesn't see Deepwood as she runs back towards the main building to get back inside for cover. On her run, she manages to score another shot against Zee, hitting the zebra for damage:

Shotgun damage

 

Zee seems to try and shrug it off, shooting back in an attempt to stop Inca from getting to cover.

Terrabit manages to be in the right spot at the right time, nailing Inca with a perfect shot. The gang leader shouts out pained curses as there's not a small hole in her jacket (and in her).

 

The batpone ganger is in the air hunting Gale.

The pegasus Pixel was chasing will arrive in 1 round to the front entrance.

The ganger that was fighting Deepwood is running for the stairs down.

One more ganger is on the ground level by the slave shack and contemplating their life choices. They're using the building as cover and observing for now.

Gale frowns as the ganger flees, but doesn't have much time to contemplate this development as the batpony fires at her once again.
Where is Forest going? What caught his-
Gale's eyes go wide as a smile briefly flits across her face.
Well then! Target locked and acquired!

Reasoning that the alarm is already raised, and that their target is in sight, Gale repositions such that she is in range of Inca, the ringleader.

She then takes aim, and hopes the fact that she is joining the fight unexpectedly will keep Inca off guard.
(Another Clever Feint: rolled a 16 bluff vs. either 10 + Inca's sense motive or 1.5*her CR; whichever is higher. Either way she is flat footed against my attack, but if this succeeds, she is flat footed against everyone's attacks this round.)

(For my attack, I rolled an 18 to hit and dealt 4 nonlethal damage on a hit.)

(No Get Em this round because I repositioned with my move action.)

 

[igordragonian12]

Deepwood clench his teeth as he see his marefriend get hurt.

He had the rage of a hulk, but he wasnt one, he has to be clever and quick.

 

Or actually to use his best weapon. He fly up a bit and pull the prototype electric rifle and aim at Inca.

Pixel only stops to grab the downed unicorn's gun, checking the magazine with her levitation magic as she then turns right back around and gives chase. The gun disappears into the side pocket of her dad's old battle jacket while she throws caution to the wind and double times it after the pegasus.

 

Short of gunfire and/or an ambush, the only thing that would stop her now is running out of buildings on either side of her for cover; Pixel wants to down this guy, but she doesn't want to come hurtling out into the open where guns would definitely be trained on her in a jiffy.

[Miltonian]

Terrabit is pleased with the shot. Best to keep the big guns 'honest' so to speak. He levels his rifle at her again. This thing is nonlethal. More of a souped-up taser. She should be fiiiiiiiine.

Gale's shot manages to hit Inca in the back. It stings and makes Inca quite angry, but it also throws her off balance for a few seconds.

Pixel finds the last useful building to hide in before reaching the compound. The pegasus she was chasing climbs in the sky to reach the top of the wall, but hasn't landed. They seem a bit surprised by what they see inside.

Terrabit's shot just misses Inca, despite her being flatfooted from Gale's earlier shot.

 

The compound is a buzz with ponies shooting from all directions. Inside the compound floor, Inca is at the doorway to the main building. One ganger is near her, taking cover from Zee. A second ganger, who earlier fought with Deepwood, is at the bottom of the stairs and wants to join. Flying up above is a batpony ganger and just now joining, a pegasus ganger. The pegasus seems surprised and isn't engaging in the fight this round.

Other gang members that may (or may not) be here are all hiding or fleeing. They aren't in view this round.

 

All attacks are versus KAC armor.

 

Inca attacks Zee with her shotgun, having a vendetta against the zebra's dumb face.

Pixel draws the newly acquired tactical pistol, using her telekinesis to pull back the slide but she holds it with her hooves as she lines up a shot. Slow. Steady. She can hear all sorts of gunplay madness going on, presumably it's what shocked the pegasus, but the would be ninja/murder child tries to tune it out before aiming for the general center of mass and opening fire.
