<em>Initiative: Valerie 28     Reva 21     Lyssiah 19     Jules 12     Enemies 12<br/>The enemy in F4 has taken 32 damage.</em><br/><br/>The beam of Valerie's rifle was visible in the faint dust for only an instant, a line that connected her with the intruder's chest.  A flash of super-heated material being expelled as vapour, and the shimmer of an emergency force field kicking in, indicated that she had both hit her mark and penetrated his armour.  She saw him flinch and begin to move backwards.  Light flared into existence to illuminate the intruder as Reva and Jules fired almost as one.  Her bullet, less obvious than a laser, caught him squarely in the face.  His armour kept it from penetrating but even so, the sudden shock to his skull had certainly caused him damage.<br/><br/>Under a barrage of attacks the intruder failed to notice Lyssiah's distraction.  He hunched over to protect himself just as she fired, but it wasn't enough.  Her attack didn't hit anything vital, but from a flash of red vapour she was confident she'd pierced his armour this time.<br/><br/>The intruder's hand shifted from the pocket it had been heading towards, and vanished into a second.  He came up with a grenade which he threw towards where he had spotted the twin lasers being fired at him.  It exploded with a burst of energy, felt more than seen or heard, that engulfed both Valerie and Lyssiah and sent containers scattering despite the atmosphere.<br/><br/>With that he took a step backwards to shelter just beyond the door, one hand reached out to slap at his buddy.  The second intruder spun, clearly confused, then instinctively took cover behind the wall of the room he was in and peeked through the two doorways.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mechanics:<br/>I tossed in a second attack for Jules, which hit and did 6 damage, just to keep things moving.  Let me know if you'd prefer to do something else with his second action.  <br/><br/>Valerie and Lyssiah must make a DC16 Reflex save or be Staggered.  <br/><br/>Everyone (players and enemies) are currently under cover, which gives +4AC and +2 to Reflex saves (don't forget this for your grenade resists).  <br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Map</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/9mfBmsb.png)</div></div></div></div>
