Intuition 6 + Perception 6 + Spec 2 + Audio Enhancement 3: 17d6t5 4 hits, waa waa the statistically improbable streak continues

Achak has high-frequency hearing as an adept power, which is good for things like footsteps and gunshots.

@8-bit, congrats, man!  I'm more like a 1400, but I understand the rating system.  Since I haven't played really in the past year and a half, I'm probably beneath that at this point. 

Thanks. 1400 is cool; I only recently got up to 1600. It's nice to see another chess player; they are rather rare, in my experience.


Hearing Perception (Perception 6 + Intuition 5 + Audio Enhancement 2 - Wounds 1): 12d6t5 5 [5, 4, 1, 1, 5, 4, 4, 6, 2, 3, 5, 6]

With the gunfire having died down and all the chaos occurring in floors below, Achak is able to hear the sound of footsteps making their way up toward him.

Stake is unsure exactly what he's hearing over the din of the patrons fleeing the club, but then he makes out an unmistakable creak somewhere on the stairs above his head.

[Tecumseh]

I'm going to guess that the armored yakuza sounds differently than a club patron (who should have fled by now). Heavier due to armor, maybe moving tactically. I'll set up an ambush near the top of the stairwell like I did for the first wave of goons. I'll use Motion Sense to detect when the guy is in striking range.

Achak is at 12 instead of 17, as he took -5 to Parry.

@ Tec, updated and thanks.  As for club patron sounding different, with more hits, Achak would know for sure, but he can really just make out the footsteps.  That said, he isn't hearing labored breathing, etc. that would be reminiscent of someone panicking, etc.

Sister Rebecca will be relying to Achak to be her ears on this one.

Are we still FIRMLY in initiative order and stuff?
I'd like to respond, but I don't wanna step on toes and screw anything up.

[rednblack]

Responding would be a free action.  Totally fine.  Also, since it's just Achak and Rebecca up top, it's not like you really could step on any toes.

Well, achak mentioned I should hide, and I don't wanna take free stealthy type actions, nor do I wanna waste actions on a futile attempt to hide, when I could have used them on more critical things. For example, Achak has taken a bit of stun dmg, hasn't he? He might could use a heal, y'know?

[rednblack]

I'm not sure that I follow.  Could you give me specifics on what you're thinking?

[Tecumseh]

Two boxes, so Achak's not actively looking for repair.

Rebecca is free to stand at the top of the stairs with her Holy Avenger if she figures that stealth is deceitful or bearing false witness.

[Poindexter]

After going back and reading what I wrote, yeah, it didn't make much sense and now that I'm trying to explain it bit better, I'm finding that I don't really understand what I was saying either. Ignore that post. Ignore this one, too. I'll just wait for Becca's turn to come up, then I'll declare some actions, see how they work out, and make an IC post like I have been.

[Poindexter]

if she figures that stealth is deceitful or bearing false witness.

Not at all. If she did, she'd have insisted on taking stakes spot as the front door girl.
