Vaan slipped the handed credits he was still holding back into his pocket, "Not so fast..." he replied, "Just why are you running? I could let you leave but if you're some kind of black widow killer I let loose, well... That'd be bad for me..." he explained. As he spoke the construct was still up and not faltering, so it wasn't taking much concentration for it to hold. The banging on the door in the room they were in intensified until the door crashed down and the pair were now faced with a pair of militia soldiers, with what looked like their commanding officer just behind them. "We finally got her..." the commanding officer spoke, "The bitch has given us quite the run-around, if she resists, shoot to kill, I've had enough trying to take her in alive..."<br/><br/>"What about the man in green, sir?" the one lower ranked soldier asked their CO, it was easy to tell from the timber of his voice that he was pretty new at all this, "He looks like one of those green lant-" The CO swiped his hand in a gesture at Vaan, "They don't have any jurisdiction around this sector anymore and I don't have any more time for the paperwork, for aiding and abetting this fugitive, kill him!" The two soldiers then pull out their firearms and take aim at both Chera and Vaan, "Alright... For now, I'm gonna help you..." Vaan muttered over to Chera, "Only because these guys are clearly assholes... And you gave me my two hundred credits back..."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: wander rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: vaans initiative<br/>Result: 19<br/><br/>19+3 = 22 Initiative for Vaan.<br/><br/>Roll Result: wander rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: green soldiers initiative<br/>Result: 20<br/><br/>20+1 = Two soldier's act on 21 Initiative.</div></div><br/><br/>Vaan points his ring at the one soldier and fires off a gout of green flame energy the same shade as his construct at the one soldier, this visibly seems to weaken the barrier over the door as it seems his ring can only do so much at the same time...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Vaan is weakening the barrier to 3 toughness and rank 3 weight (400 lbs), to fire off a Rank 4 energy blast at the soldier.<br/>Roll Result: wander rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: vaans attack +10<br/>Result: 7<br/><br/>That's a roll of 17 to hit, which does so against the soldier's 13 defence class using dodge.<br/><br/>Roll Result: wander rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: vaans energy damage v toughness<br/>Result: 19<br/><br/>Thats 19+5 for soldier toughness (24) vs. energy damage + 15 (19)...  :-\</div></div><br/><br/>Unfortunately, whilst Vaan is right on target to blast the one soldier, the attack does nothing against the armour they have on.
