>>140160He points to one of the soldiers' grenades, and makes a motion with his hoof like he wants it given to him.
>>140161The soldier tosses a grenade to Silver, letting him catch it.
[1d20+10 = 27]>>140162I'm not sure what the roll would be for a thrown weapon, so I'm going for a basic ranged roll, and if need be we can remove from the modifier.Silver pulls the grenade's pin, then chucks it around the corner towards the changelings' general direction. He doesn't wait to find out how successful he was as he immediately moves to find another direction to attack from.
>>140163There’s a loud explosion, the sound of breaking glass, and tile hitting tile.
>>140164Silver moves to another sidestreet to attack from. In particular he looks for another sidestreet or alley closer to the church.
>>140163As for another direction, Silver can presumably go three directions (back the way he came, across the street to the houses, and into the house)
>>140165The church has whinnyton to its north, the house silver is hiding behind to its west, another house to the east, and the floral shop to the north of it.
>>140166Silver goes into the house he's hiding behind, then.
>>140167Silver breaks down the door to see it leads into a wooden floored living room. There is a small hall on the left with an open door way into a room, a couch on the far right, broken windows on the right wall, and a radio on the wall on the left. The far wall has a few pictures in wooden frames hanging, and a door on the left.
Bullets have not only hit, but penetrated the wall on teh right, with bits of wood fragments and gypsum on the floor, as well as a shattered pot, and some bullet gashes on the wall on Silver's side.
>>140168"Hmm..."
Silver turns the radio on, and turns the volume up as high as it will go.
>>140169The first channel it is set to is a static signal. Static, and nothing more. Still, it can be loud at the higher volume.
>>140170Are there any windows facing the church in this house? On a related note, besides the picture frames, is there anything that can be thrown to break said windows?
>>140171Yes, at least two, and the windows are already broken. Disturbingly, however, it looks as if rifle rounds (probably from the machine gun) have already penetrated through parts of the wall
>>140172In that case, if he can, he rejoins his unit.
>>140173Silver goes outside, and is rewarded with a long burst of the machine gun presumably aimed at the house.
>>140175https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kk5iiSE-0ISilver presumably leaves the house, to hide behind it
>>140176>>140177Once Silver returns, he points to one of the soldiers present.
"Enough time should have passed. Go tell mortars to begin shelling."
>>140178The soldier peels off, and the machine gun nest position goes silent. It's not very long before there is that distinctive "thumb," and a whirling noise where you can almost count the rotors
whoosh[1d20 = 17] >>140179This one slightly over shoots the position, evidently hitting the roof of the church behind it, with another loud clash
[1d20 = 15][1d20 = 10][1d20 = 20][1d20 = 16][1d20 = 2] >>140180A minute or so of mortar rounds follows
One round goes very wide, hitting the roof of a house. One round lands on Whinnyton, sending shrapnel that breaks windows. One hits the end of the church roof nearest Silver, sending splinters of wood flying, and another hits near there.
But it's one very well placed shot that gives a great "clang" as the bell is hit by explosive force. The tower leans forward, and then falls, collapsing down onto the street and part of the ground below. The bell rolls off the roof, crashing down on the ground with another "clang."
The position is gone.
>>140181Silver peaks out from behind the house once the shelling is finished. Although the destruction of this house of Celestia is quite distressing, the satisfaction of seeing such a thorn in their side destroyed gives him comfort.
"Brings tear to your eye, does it not?"
>>140182Mostly, the structure is intact besides the collapsed tower, but the bell is gone, the windows are shattered, and many of the tiles have fallen from the roof, almost like kernels removed from a cob of corn. Some of those hits seem to have cut holes in the roof, and may have damaged the beam.
On the far side, Silver can hear "Bang. Bang." and then "Dakka dakka dakka" in the recognizable fire of an Equestrian light machine gun.
>>140183Silver looks back to his soldiers.
"Come, sounds like roaches are fleeing their nest."
He heads off in the direction of the fighting.
>>140184Silver doesn't have to look far at all for the roaches.
Two changelings come out of the door in the back of the church, one carrying a changeling submachine gun, and the other a rifle
Roll for Initiative[1d20 = 5][1d20 = 13][1d20 = 11][1d20 = 5][1d20 = 10][1d20 = 5][1d20+2 = 17][1d20+2 = 18] >>140186Silver notices the instant they open the door, and is first to respond.
Silver's turn
[1d20+10 = 12]>>140187Silver blasts the changeling with the SMG first.
>>140188Not a great shot, but it should hit
At a +2 dex and no armor bonus >>140190>>140188Silver does not down the Changeling. He gets off at least one burst
[1d20 = 7][1d20 = 18][1d20 = 11][1d20 = 18][1d20 = 20]And the changeling with the rifle fires a short before anypony else can
[1d20+3 = 23] >>140190>>140192A dandelion colored private is hit in the chest one, two, three times by the submachine gun. There is a "ping" of metal hitting metal, and another private falls.
The remainder of the rifle group responds:
[1d20+1 = 15][1d20+1 = 8][1d20+1 = 10][1d20+1 = 13] >>140190>>140194The Changeling with the submachine gun makes a "hack" sound and falls over, while the drone with the rifle is hit in the belly, bleeding on the concrete steps of the church. He is still up
[1d20+10 = 22]>>140195Silver aims his rifle again, this time at the rifleling.
>>140197>>140196There is a splatter of blue blood and the changeling falls backwards off of the concrete steps of the back of the church.
>>140198Silver rushes over to the nearest downed private to see how badly he's wounded.
>>140199It's a large built royal blue unicorn stallion. There is a large hole in the front of his helmet, and blood coming out off the back. His eyes stare up blankly. He was probably dead before he hit the ground.
>>140200Silver closes his eyelids, and gives him a quick quiet prayer to Celestia before he goes to the other downed soldier.
>>140201This soldier is the dandelion earth pony. He is hit once in the chest, and twice in the chest. He is bleeding heavily. His eyes are closed, and he has short and rapid breathes. The best guess is that he will die of blood loss or shock before he makes it to a medic. But you don't really know that, do you?
>>140202Silver points to the dead changelings.
"Tear their uniforms into strips and bring them to me as quick as you can!"
He resumes examining the private. How deep are the bullets in him lodged?
>>140203Hard to say for sure. They clearly made it a decent ways in. The most pressing issue - by far - is the bleeding, which will kill him in a few minutes. He may also drown in blood.
>>140204Silver presses his forehooves against two of the holes to at least slow down the bleeding while he waits for some strips of cloth.
>>140205Strips of cloth are provided soon enough.
[1d20+5 = 12]>>140206"Thank you."
Heal: Silver tries his best to bandage the private and do whatever else he can to prevent his death.
>>140207Silver does not seem to succeed in stopping the bleeding
