>>164343>>164362Silver fires his rifle at the drone who peaks over the rails and into the narrow space between the flights of stairs. One bullet is unaccounted for, likely having gone all the way to the ceiling. Another goes into the flight of stairs on the other side. And another would have hit the drone, save that the bottom of the set of stairs is in the way. There is a small explosion of wooden splinters. But another bullet seems to hit its mark, though exactly where and to what effect is hard to say. The creature flinches and pulls back out of sight.
From beneath and behind Silver, he can hear a

>>164364Silver advances up the stairs again, keeping his rifle aimed towards the floor he saw the changeling on.
Waiting for the game to resume soon. I want to read moar.
>>164380no
u>>164381Yay!
>>164365Silver goes up, and up, and up, slowly approaching that floor, until he's approximately level with it.
Silver can see the barrel of a gun just barely past the edge of the doorway. Not well aimed, but there.
>>164422Hmm...so, here's an idea. Since he can see the gun barrel, can he use his magic to pull the gun forward? Even if it remains in the changeling's grasp, perhaps he will be pulled out into the open for an easy shot.
>>164424Hmmmm.... this is doable from a close distance, but I'm not sure Silver is close enough for that to be viable. Silver is also presumably using magic to support the front of his rifle
>>164425Silver creeps closer to the gun.
>>164426While Silver doesn't
quite need to be immediately outside of the door for this to be viable, he may as well approach that closely. As Silver goes up the stairs clockwise, approaching the door at the landing from the left, Silver does not see anycreature on the right side of the entryway. He can simply see a polished softwood floor, and a sort of coral-red colored wall.
>>164428>>164429Silver does not see anycreature moving around to try to shoot him as he moves up, at least not before he is able to move.
>>164430Silver gives a hoof motion to his companions towards the exposed gun barrel. He shoulders his rifle so he can use the full concentration of his magic, grabs onto the end of the exposed gun barrel, and pulls hard.
>>164433Silver tugs on the gun, and pulls it forward. He can feel the resistance as the creature on the other side pulls it back. It comes forward, a little further out. Silver can see by the sight of it that it is a machine carbine, though he cannot see the details of it. Beneath him, and behind him, Spectral Streak and the Salmon station move move forward. And within the hallway, and enemy approaches

[1d20 = 13] >>164436>>164433>>164435Bullets spray, hitting the back wall, and further down. Silver hears an "umph!" as it appears one of the bullets has hit the salmon stallion

Bang Bang Bang Bang of quick, successive shots as Spectral Streak returns fire

>>164443Silver definitely lucked out, there.
If it's possible, what would the penalty be for blind firing?
>>164445Hmm...any penalty for trying to shoot through the wall, or would the changeling he
thinks is around the corner just have a bonus to his AC?
>>164446It's at least a +6 AC bonus for the opponent, representative of Silver's difficulty in determining where he actually is, and thus where to aim the weapon.
[1d20+10 = (9+10) = 19][1d20+10 = (9+10) = 19]>>164447Silver grabs his Jenny, flips her to single shot, and double taps where he
believes the changeling to be.
>>164448Bang BangTheheekSilver hears some sort of sound, kind of similar to an abrupt hiss.
Hit Hit
>>164451>>164449>>164450Silver hears the sound of clopping in the hallway, but the gun fire has ended for the moment.
>>164452"Hmm..."
Silver gets an idea, pulls out his gas mask, and levitates it so it's peeking out into the doorway.
>>164453>>164454Silver hears the sound of gun shots and bullets whizzing past, although they are oddly ineffective, and stop after at most, a second.
>>164455Silver pulls the gas mask back. That confirms it, the bullets may have stopped but they're watching the doorway like a hawk. With the break in fighting, he looks back to his companions to check up on them, especially the salmon stallion.
>>164457The Salmon Stallion is able to stand up, but that's almost it. He's heavily bleeding and breathing loudly.
>>164458Silver trots back to look at the damage, and see where he was shot at.
>>164462Silver sees that the Salmon pony was hit in the barrel. He is bleeding, and has sat down.
>>164463What all do they have left in their well-used medkit?
>>164464Some more magical fluid, a narcotic painkillers, bandages, and disinfectants.
>>164467"Alright, this is pretty bad wound. You want some magical...stuff, or do you just want patched up?"
>>164472“I, uh, I… I think I need it” he says, obviously worried, and then pressing a hoof over the wound.
>>164473Silver nods, and proceeds to give the salmon-colored stallion the stuff.
>>164474Silver injects the stallion with the magical fluid, then morphine, and presumably disinfects the wound and bandages it. The Stallion isn’t exactly fine, but he’s not getting any worse, and certainly seems to be in less pain.
