Nils checks the windows, to see if anything is clearly moving. Hoping to get a glimpse at their adversaries.
"Let's head guys, somebody man the window on the opposite side to me"
[Nils will take the right window]
Trip sets the SMG yo the side and watches the left window with his assault rifle.
Brush at the edge of the road on the left side sways and rustles lightly as if moved by a gentle breeze, but the air is still and damp; the humidity and waiting is in fact making you sweat bullets and feel dry in the mouth. Beyond the immediate side of the road, it's too dark in the jungle to see much but the suggestion of shapes and movement, large but unidentifiable things crawling or creeping through the foliage and along branches and over the wet ground. On the right side you catch a glimpse of a brightly colored something, possibly a large bird's plumage, as it flutters through a gap between boles and leaves. From where you project it would land, based on its trajectory, you suddenly hear a bellow like a bull in tremendous agony. Shrieking bird calls puncture the stillness.I wait in the truck with my gun ready to see what happens.
[...and Dave? Or did you leave him in the warehouse?]
Hearing no response, Nils looks around and realizes that in their haste to escape the warehouse, he and his companions left the wounded Dave Shekter behind."Dave you take the wheel, head the scenic route. Let's hope for the best"
The already rough road only worsens as you proceed into the jungle. The overarching branches of the trees make the way utterly dark except where the lonely headlights of the truck manage to pierce the veil a short distance ahead of you. The noise of the engine seems louder than ever and the vehicle and trailer are jostled and jolted by the uneven ground. Due to overgrowth and disrepair, the negotiable way narrows until traffic could only travel one direction at a time. A sleek, slithering form flashes across the illuminated area directly in front of you, passing from left to right from brush to brush, and it crosses your minds that it looked to be an incredibly large snake, perhaps one of those for whom the planet Xenochrophis was named. Immediately thereafter, crashing from the foliage on the left, as if in hot pursuit, appears a pair of enormous flightless birds, each standing perhaps 20 feet tall with huge beaks made for piercing and rending flesh. It occurs to you that these may be specimens of the spear-beaked azhdarchids that Mama Mwangi mentioned preys on the planet's giant snakes.Nils in stunned. The police and now Dave. What have we done?
He heads back to the driver seat, turns the ignition and heads off along the scenic route.
"That's right. We shall leave nobody behind", Volodimir answers. "For long, that is.""You guys are Marines right? We're going back for Dave aren't we?" Trip shakes his head putting his hands over his eyes and wiping down his face at how badly this is all going.
[Volodimir, you mean? Last I checked Spisarevski was in the midst of a woodland gnome vs. blue ape legionary battle.]"That's right. We shall leave nobody behind", S̶p̶i̶s̶a̶r̶e̶v̶s̶k̶i̶ answers. "For long, that is."
[OOC: Yes, that's what happens when you've got different games open and are trying to reply to all of them.][Volodimir, you mean? Last I checked Spisarevski was in the midst of a woodland gnome vs. blue ape legionary battle.]
Upset and confused, the spear-beaked azhdarchids let out earsplitting screeches and flank the truck, their talons sharp as scythes stabbing into the trailer as they rock the vehicle back and forth. You hear the scraping sound of metal being torn apart behind you as four more birds crash through the foliage onto the road before you, as though summoned by the first pair's calls.Nils flashes the lights on and off and starts the engine, beginning to move slowly at first.
"Pedal to the metal!", Volodimir shouts, suggesting a possible course of action.Upset and confused, the spear-beaked azhdarchids let out earsplitting screeches and flank the truck, their talons sharp as scythes stabbing into the trailer as they rock the vehicle back and forth.

Trip aims at center mass and fires two rounds per bird.
I let loose at the birds.
[The eyes are too high up for you to see or aim at from inside the truck cab. You can exit the vehicle if you want to try that, though. Otherwise everybody chuck your 2d6 to hit. There are bonuses since the targets are very large and hard to miss.]Volodimir aims for a bird's eye, and shoots. If there isn't an eye visible from his position, he's going to aim under a wing.
Not sure if I need to roll twice but I did.[The eyes are too high up for you to see or aim at from inside the truck cab. You can exit the vehicle if you want to try that, though. Otherwise everybody chuck your 2d6 to hit. There are bonuses since the targets are very large and hard to miss.]
Nope, we left one behind already.[The eyes are too high up for you to see or aim at from inside the truck cab. You can exit the vehicle if you want to try that, though. Otherwise everybody chuck your 2d6 to hit. There are bonuses since the targets are very large and hard to miss.]
