The back door of the ruined church was guarded by a pair of soldiers, one to each side of the doorway. There was no door as well, but that was more of a negative, as it would be easier for the people in the church to hear anything going on outside.

[i]So... How to do this...[/i]

Sighing to himself, Morgan crept closer, taking position behind a lay lying wall a few meters from the doorway. The remaining ground between them was covered in grass, but it was far too short to provide adequate cover.

[i]So let's see, likelihood of success? I'll put it at around 20% for everything to go as planned, 30% for everything to fall apart, and 50% for outside interference despite success.

Decent odds.[/i]

Readying himself, Morgan charged out from behind his cover at the sentinel closest to him, crossing the distance in a little under a second and slamming the into the man, using the momentum to smash his head into the wall behind him, the force of the impact stunning him. Shifting his stance, Morgan grabbed the rifle leaning against the wall beside him and swung it toward the second man's head, only to have it blocked by his target's weapon in a similar manner.

Jumping backwards, Morgan raised his stolen rifle and pulled off a quick shot at the gun's former owner, piercing his helm and killing him, but giving the second time to line up his own shot. He quickly shifted back to his Ethereal form as he turned and ran, the stolen rifle falling from his hands, the guard's bullet passing passed through him and embedded itself in a small hill a distance away.

[i]Damn, how did I forget to account for the lack of dampening on their guns! Everyone in the building must have head those shots![/i]

Even after escaping view of the building in the smaller ruins surrounding it, he remained in ethereal form as he collapsed to the ground, panting.

[i]Damn. There's no way I can pull that off again.[/i]

Sighing, he reverted to human form as he sat against the wall, still breathing heavily.

[i]Even if I didn't manage to get my guns back, there's no way those guys there will be able to leave this be. Maybe the others can use this as a chance to escape.[/i]
