Recollection:

Last time you were at a Trade Route attack mission where your objective is to locate a piece of high importance cargo. Your team has successfully seized control of the ship’s bridge after that you spread the squad to pairs two of you going to clear the deck the other two looking for your objective. After eliminating two humans guards on deck the other two cowered in front of your squad have fled the combat zone by jumping ship so 53 and 40 reported the deck clear of any remaining guards.

You located the target cargo and dispatched two humans that were nearby but one of them managed to activate a very potent bomb before getting killed, your rather aggressive attempts at disarming it have yielded no results. The clock is ticking fast and you are deep in the belly of the cargo hold. You ordered your partner to take the bomb out of the cargo hold but at the very least away from your objective. Obeying orders unquestioningly and risking his life at that 14 ran out of the room with the bomb.

With the bomb in claws 14 takes the way you came through in his attempt to get the bomb out of the room and hopefully out to the deck before it detonates. Nobody knows when it will detonate or how big the explosion will be.

Running as fast as he can 14 reaches the first room running to the door of the second.

Please roll a D6!

>>12215418
Wow, I didn't know you were running Lobsterman Quest tonight.

rolled 5 = 5

>>12215418
Well, let's see if there going to be some lobster bisque tonight.

Back from a little work, hopefully we can keep things going.

Ahem

>>12216057
The bomb does not explode but time is chipping away 14 is running as fast as he can. Topside 53 and 40 reports no activity right now.

>>12217219
Yes, that was me forgot my tripfaggotry.

Roll a D6

rolled 3 = 3

>>12217224
I have never played in your quest but the bits I see are very good. Here is a bump and a roll to send you merrily on your way.

>>12217314
hello there, if you played X-com TFTD you should be prety familiar with the setting.

You seem to be favored by someone up at the lobster gods the bombs still does not explode, 14 is at the home stretch the Exit is just in the last room after that is the bridge where he can just throw the bomb out to the sea.

Time is running out! Please roll a D4 this time!

rolled 1 = 1

>>12217388
Nope, only played the original. But I won't ever turn down an easily spotted request to roll.

>>12217396
DISASTER! Just as 14 was moving through the flood gate suddenly the beeping stops and the bomb detonates. First a flash of light then a thundering shockwave shakes the ship’s frame it can be heard and felt even at topside as metal twists and vibrates with the force.

What has happened to 14? The explosion surely erased him from this world.
Roll a D3 to find out what happened with him.

hello new to life, how does one roll?

rolled 1 = 1

>>12217438
Rollable roller, rolling rollfully.

>>12217519
type the dice and the into the E-mail field
For example "dice+1d3" or "dice+2d6"

>>12217524
You desperately call and listen on the com link refusing the accept what just happened to14. You hear nothing, you wait hoping for some sort of miracle spawned event but you don’t hear anything, the realization is hard to accept but it is clear that Lobsterman Medic 1493 simply couldn’t have survived an explosion of that magnitude. He died doing his orders sacrificing himself for his superior and for the mission without second thoughts. You will remember this deed for some time.

But the troubles are not over yet, the ship also took a great deal of damage a lot by the explosion, it seems that the humans had the clear intention to destroy the valuable piece of cargo than let you lay your pincers on it.

How great is the damage to the ship?
Roll a D6 to find out!

rolled 5 = 5

>>12217598
Poor Lobsterman Medic 1493.

You are wise, Underwater DM. I would have left this thread to its usual participants, but I keep seeing the request to roll. And roll I shall.

>>12217621
>>You are wise, Underwater DM.
heheeee

The explosion destroyed the flood gate that leads to the exit along with a number of cargo, that were ripped to pieces the ship’s bottom plates buckled out but somehow still managed to hold together, it seems the humans construction maybe crude but still tough enough. The ship is still in one piece although no significant leaks occurred and it s still on its way.

With that done it seems that the last of the humans and their traps are finally removed from the ship. Now all that remains is sending the clear signal for the retrieval team and wait for them to arrive.

However the cargo crate is much bigger than you expected you cannot move it on your own and your team will have to get it out of here somehow.

...and I will leave again now for lunch, will return a bit later today.

DM under water now!

You back ?

>>12221147
I am here

Ok have 53 and 40 come down from up top to help clear that last room

>>12221484
Once thats done then we call all clear.

also which of these is the crate we seek?

>>12221484
>>12221524

From topside 53 and 40 acknowledges your request and walks down, they note that it will take some time to get there. They request to know if you have taken any damage or what is the situation down there.

You seek the large crate in the room which has the X-com emblem on it, now that you examine all the crates in the room has several crates with the identical emblem.

>>12221577
Report that I'm not damaged but regrettably #14 is dead.
Situation is stable for the time being.

Time passes and 53 and 40 arrives to the cargo bay, they report widespread destruction in the cargo bay including the flood gate and large amounts of cargo but the ship’s hull is safe, it does not leak. They would like to know which door to take.

Ok have everyone move in to breaching positions then we take a peak inside.

>>12221786
you both open your respective doors at once?

>>12221819
yes

You open the door and peek in but your line of sight is blocked by a large crate, strangely it seems to be illogical to pack this crate here, almost as if it was put there just for this purpose.

While this is going on 53 and 40 opens the door on their side. Their room is emptier a large pile of plastic boxes is on their right and crates on the sides, the door in the next room is closed.

>>12221978
Ok have us fall back into the last room and I forget if lateral sense works above water or not but if it does use it to check the room for anything that may be in there while 40&53 move to these positions.

>>12221978
>>12222109
Shouldn't we just shoot through the crate?

>>12222152
Yes we could but I think we should try to confirm weather anythings in there before we start shooting what could be the target we're after.

You back out and 53 and 40 take into the corners of their room…

…but then when they both enter suddenly the plastic and paper boxes fly apart revealing two human soldiers who lied in ambush until now. They can hear the high pitched noise of Vibro Blades springing into life as the two humans jump out of their hiding place wielding their drills ready and bent to destroy any opposition they encounter.

53 and 40 must now both roll a D20 for initiatives.

rolled 14 = 14

>>12222312
rollin for 40
and have 53 back the hell away from them!!!

>>12222312
Rolling for 53.

rolled 6 = 6

>>12222312
>>12222439
D'oh!
Try again.

>>12222439
you forgot the roll

40 reacts quickly enough to realize what just happened and manages to take action against the attackers, 40 may now take action.

On the other hand 53 being closer to the ambush is taken completely by surprise and now he may only roll for dodging the incoming attack.
Roll a D20 for 53 to dodge.

After these rolls are resolved, I m going to go to sleep as it s midnight, now and I will get up in 6 hours and carry on. I got up same way today and I found out that for me it s way better than staying up until the morning and then leaving you for the rest of your night, and then not being able to do stuff during the day, then it should be midnight for 4chan time, is that cool with you guys?

rolled 6 = 6

>>12222488
Oh shit...

Also have us shoot that crate that was blocking our line of sight earlier.

rolled 3 = 3

>>12222533
rollin for 53.

Also have 40 open fire on the attackers.

rolled 19 = 19

rollin to shoot for 40.

>>12222548
Roll for 40 to open fire on the attackers, he may counterattack the human that is going after 53.

>>12222592
there we go updating in a secon

>>12222592
Rolled 19 Great success!

43’s quick reaction turns the tide of the ambush, while 53 cannot react on the attack he manages to take aim and fire on the human that was about drill through 53’s carapace. The human suffers fatal damage from the shot and falls back into the opposite corner, 53 is saved for a moment; however the other human soldier is still on the move to finish the job seemingly unshaken by the recent demise of his comrade.

You shoot into the large crate and the blast opens up large holes on both of its sides it appears to be empty you can see a bit through the holes you can catch some a pair of pushed over barrels behind it.

this will be my last IC post for now.

Thanks for everyone who participated! I shall return in about 6 hours for the continuation.

>>12222716
43 and 50 need to fire on the remaining human, while we make our way through the empty container.

rolled 9 = 9

Rolling for 40 to shoot

rolled 6 = 6

rollin for 53

rolled 2 = 2

Rolling 1D20 for MC if it's possible.

Use the confusion MC ability on the remaining human! That'll stall him long enough for your comrades to finish him/her.

I hope to be here when you return.

keeping this alive until he returns

I have returned! Updating in a minute.

Back, connection time out kept me from postan so I went for breakfats and back to sleep.

>>12222792
>>12222826

Both 40 and 53 open fire on the last human, their shot get avoided as the human lunges towards the wall to get 53 between him and 40 then attempts to attack 53 again with his Vibro Blade.

Now 53 must roll for dodge again!
40 is free to act, he may shoot but risks friendly fire.

You make your way through the container as the hole your weapon made gives you an easy chance to tear away the thin walls. Arriving to the other side you see a few barrels one knocked down for some reason, you see the door to the next room where the fight is currently unfolding.

>>12222844

Unfortunately you cannot roll for M.C right now, you need to actually see/home on to your target. This can be done in more than one different means but sadly you have neither at your disposal right now.

dada chim dada chum dada chey
