Rez is up and out of the saddle as the back of the van rings with rifle fire. Even as the last of the five clowns in the back go down she's laying bloody hands on, grabbing other Buitres by their vests, yanking them bodily away from the kill and shoving them at their bikes before they can drop their weapons and fill their hands with spoils. "More t'take, first! Don' let'm get away. Move y'asses!" she snarls.<br/><br/>The Chopper points Cat and three others toward the truck with the broken driver, rounds up three more to go after the last truck with her. The two remaing, well... "Newt, yew'n Pony go fetch." She points to the two Vultures who went down early on, and who now are taking potshots from near their bikes. "Get'm up pillion, no fuckin' arguing, Rez zays. We'll get their rides later. Fetch. Take'm to me r'Cat, whichever looks most needs it." That takes two more of her bikers out of the picture for the moment, hopefully to return as four before things go sour. Despite how easy the truck went down, Rez isn't happy. She likes having her wolfpack close enough that she doesn't have to go far to backhand any of'em that start getting stupid. Now she's got half her mob sunning their butts back near Uncle Marco's, and the fifteen here with her are pretty evenly quartered.<br/><br/>She'd much rather have sixteen to hammer at one spot, but the enemy is being inconveniently spread out and she has to protect the strange mechy-techy if she wants to be able to rely on the Vultures' rides from week to week.<br/><br/>Cat and company make a sudden mess of the poor bastard who'd been driving the truck with the ice-cream cone atop it (not that any of the lot would recognize an ice-cream cone if it bit them). A couple of shotgun bursts ensure that the immobile truck is just a temporary coffin for whoever was in it. Rez's bunch swirl tightly around the  remaining truck with its bizarre giant head, battering at the vehicle until the driver flinches the wrong way and bottoms out on a rise in the grass...A few minutes work to push off, but not something anyone in their right mind wants to do with a bunch of bikers cutting in and out among the clowns like sharks through a school of tuna.<br/><br/>Newt and Pony ease off the throttles as they get to the soft ground where Ogre and Buttercup went down, and without too much arguing, the masked girl and the huge man are saddled up behind their 'rescuers' and headed back towards the fray.<br/><br/>After all, they'd hate to miss out on the party.<br/><br/>As for Amanuel's bodyguards, well...The three vultures with long guns are up and moving as soon as the last clown is down at of the back of the truck. They're not exactly chasing after Amanuel but they're definitely shifting position because of him, pausing to loose occasional shots at red-nosed opportunities on the way. Tack looks mad as hell. If Rez hadn't told them to protect the Savvyhead, they'd probably be pounding him into the ground now for walking out into fire like that. Rez's chosen rifles are hardly professional, but they do have a tendency not to clump together and to keep hunting for easy targets, which more often than not results in one or two covering whoever is moving. Once they see where Amanuel is headed (and that Sliver is up there with the Soldier, hanging back from the fight until it looks nearly over and lootable) they find a slightly taller hummock almost (not quite) between the pretty armored vehicle with the loud gun and the nearest clowns, flop down and begin doing their own long-range work on any bozos stupid enough to raise their colorful hair in the grass.<br/><br/>There are still quite a few bozos in the grass. But now they're on foot, with no easy ride home, and the wide-spread ambush line no longer has a single bunch of bikers where it wants them but a bunch of smaller swarms hitting it from different directions and chipping at the ends of the line, while the really loud gun on the hill is probably not going to be quiet for long.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Seize by Force</div><div class="spoiler_body">9 on Seize By Force (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56512), choosing as follows:<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">• you take definite hold of it (the two remaining trucks)<br/>• you suffer little harm</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div> <br/><br/>EDIT: and since the +1 from Warner puts it over to 10, adding in:<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">• you inflict terrible harm</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>EDIT: Marked 1 for Hard (Seize by Force) and 1 for Hard (Pack Alpha) is 5 xP and resetting to zero.
