[Koba]
As the large bird swoops in on the building, Koba will try to get a shot at
it with the rifle.

[GM]
The shot catches the enemy, knocking him down the roof, but he seems to be a
pretty tough fellow, and hangs on.

[GM]
Koba's shot hits the enemy squarely.
[/GM]

> Carlos fires on the enemy. [Strike: 16, Damage: 24MD]

[GM]
The sniper can be heard screaming, as a piece of his armor simply fragments.

He is now quickly trying to get out of range.
[/GM]

> [Talas]
> Talas fires a burst from his rail gun at the first sniper.  [Strike: 20

> [/Talas]

[GM]
Talas's railgun fire blasts the remaining sniper, and the force of the blast
knocks him right through the roof into the building beneath.
[/GM]

[GM]
Lady Frost crashes through the house, and, in a flash, is standing in a
ruined kitchen staring at a man in blackened, melted armor, lying on the
ground moaning.
[/GM]

[Alister]
Alister holds his fire, waiting for some order in all the confusion.
[/Alister]

[Enemy #2]
The other enemy has recovered enough to start opening fire, strafing the
hillside wildly.  One of his shots strikes Osiris, doing a bit of damage
[Damage: 6MD].
[/Enemy #2]

[Ted]
Ted attempts to take the remaining visible sniper out [Strike: 20 (not
natural), Damage: 11MD].  The sniper is hit, but minimal damage is done.
[/Ted]

[Osiris]
"Ouch!" Osiris yells, before leveling his own shot, aiming for the head but
only hitting the main body [Strike: 13, Damage: 15MD].
[/Osiris]

[GM]
The arrow strikes the remaining sniper's armor and explodes, throwing him
several feet.  When he comes to rest he begins scrabbling awkwardly for a
doorway.

Back inside the semi-collapsed building, the other sniper, bereft of weapon
(which lies somewhere in the wreckage) puts up his hand and says in an odd,
thick accent "Surrender I."

Above there is a loud cry and suddenly a black, pterodactyl-like creature
sweeps down towards the ruined house and at Lady Frost.  Lady Frost hears
the unearthly cry in time to see this monstrous thing approaching her, black
talons stretched out like some giant featherless eagle ready to catch its
prey.
