CLOSED ♔ i'll tell you 'bout a secret i've been undermining

[superswank]

WHO || Sydney, Sylar, Drax, Frankie, Allison [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights investigate a biological weapons threat for the Ukrainians 
WHERE ||Antarctica
WHEN || April 10th [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Not all international intrigue happens in presidential palaces, plush business offices, and smoky dives next to waterfronts.  Some happens in the coldest, dreariest parts of the world.

The Ukrainians expect the Knights to head for the Russian research station from the drop point, stop to disable both the helicopter and communications tower, then enter the compound. Once there, they are to find Prytyka and question him on camera, transmitting this conversation live via a satellite uplink with their contact, Kuchma.

They are currently been flown to the drop point 2 miles from Adelie 14, and Kuchma is on the plane with them, providing them all with arctic gear and final requests.  They have access to thermal undergarments, snowsuits, boots, parkas, snow goggles, gloves and mittens, as well as a portable satellite phone and video camera, and several AKSU-74 sub machine guns.

"Many firearms are unreliable in the extreme Antarctic weather, so you might wish to take one," Kuchma cautions.

[ allison's first arrow gets D right through the helmet, knocking him hard onto his back, gun clattering to the snow, as he lies there motionlessly. C gets another one right in the chest, and then drax downs him with a powerful fist driven into his head. which means he doesn't have to heroic surge since they're all dead o__o

that leaves the four to the south, who hold their position and keep firing from their position 70 feet away: ref DC 15 or allison takes 14 dmg from A and 10 dmg from B, and drax 7 from C and 7 from D. ]

[risked]

[She easily makes that save (21) and shifts her focus from the pile o'dead to the ones trying to make some attempt. She fires off (far shot) at A from the second group. (atk 15 | dmg 14 / atk 16 | 9 - if those even hit).]

[spinerip]

[The blows hit Drax this time (reflex 14, 10), and it makes him let out a roar of rage as he charges at the other four, slamming his fist into whichever one is closest (atk 23 dmg 8).]

[goonsquad]

[ both of allison's shots whizz past A's head, unfortunately, but Drax follows after the missiles, slamming a fist into the soldier's helmet. B backs away to fire on Drax (ref 15 or 7 dmg), while A swings at his head with the butt of his gun (atk 11).

C and D stay focused on Allison (ref 15 or 9 and then 10 dmg) ]

[risked]

[Allison makes those 19/16 and shifts her aim slightly trying to compensate for the shots she missed. She moves her aim to C (atk 26 | dmg 12, atk 27 | dmg 14)]

[spinerip]

[Drax makes his reflex save and turns his attention back towards A, angrily slamming his fists at the guy (atk 25 dmg 7, atk 16 dmg 6, atk 17 dmg 8 just in case those last two hit).]

[goonsquad]

[ C reels from both blows, barely hanging on, while A manages to avoid two pummelling blows from drax. his 14 attack however, is not enough to strike him back. B fires on him for 14 dmg if he fails the Ref 15. C & D stay focused on allison (dmg 17 & 20 if she fails her Ref 15). ]

[risked]

[Allison makes her first ref save with 22, but then the second one hits with 13. no bueno. However, she still focuses on her targets, this time splitting between one attack to C (atk 25 , dmg 12) and one attack to D (atk nat 20 (30 total) , dmg 20).]

[spinerip]

[Drax's reflex save of 20 is enough to keep him safe, and he continues to pummel A relentlessly (atk crit fail, atk 27 dmg 8, atk 26 dmg 14 with penetration).]

[goonsquad]

[ allison's shot whizzes right into C's neck, downing him entirely, and the next takes D right through the helmet in the face, sending him reeling back a few steps.

drax's first punch lands on the gun as the soldier holds it up to defend his face, and he winds up hurting himself as he snaps it for 1 dmg. with nothing else to guard himself however, A is knocked down for the count by the other blows.

only two remain, and B unloads 7 dmg @ drax if he fails the save, while D tries one last attempt at taking allison down (11 dmg if she fails the 15 ref save) ]

[risked]

[Allison keeps her focus and makes that save (25) so that she can just shift her aim and continue to attack D. (atk 20 | dmg 11 // atk 27 | dmg 9)]

[spinerip]

[Drax growls as he avoids the bullets again (reflex 19) and he moves in to attack B, but he overshoots a little (atk 12).]

[superswank]

[ that takes out D! leaving only poor B, who... finally turns to run for it in a full retreat. ]

[risked]

[Allison tracks his movement, but she doesn't fire on the target.]

[spinerip]

Coward. [Drax shrugs, lip curling in disgust.] RUN AND TELL YOUR MASTERS THEY SHOULD SEND MORE MEN NEXT TIME THEY WISH TO FIGHT DRAX THE DESTROYER. THAT WAS HARDLY A CHALLENGE!

[superswank]

[ the area seems clear... but there's no telling how the other team is faring. they can send one of them to check if you'd like! ]

[risked]

[Allison doesn't comment on his ego, but she does look back toward the direction they came.]

I can stay here and keep watch if you want to check on the others.

[spinerip]

[It is a MIGHTY ego and all should fear it!] If the straggler dares return, destroy him.

[Obviously. Drax turns to go back inside and find the rest of the team.]

[risked]

Have fun storming the castle. [She calls out to him as he leaves.]
