I'm figuring the corner Sarah is hiding behind is the same alleyway she was originally shot from, mortars are likely either in a clear-looking spot like a parking-ramp east-by-northeast, or at the compound itself, off the map provided by Aristo.

There's also an open construction-yard ~250 meters NNW.

Meanwhile, Sarah is going full out Mellowlink.
-Which is why in YASSIR's original specs, Marlene could dismount one of the smaller autocannons.

Notes:
Shouldn't it be a transition from deciduous trees (such as maple) to conifers (pine)?

Must figure out what sort of conversation occurred between Rilana and Chartose besides a re-hash of the one with Kladissa.
-Tricia

Final note: Chartose Treeshredder.

*Switches out Gabel for Kat*

Problem solved.

*has done mixed-up his RPs*

Maybe Kat had followed them to their current location and was about to approach someone until the battle broke out. Now instead of asking to join she thought it a great opportunity to show them she can be valuable.

That was my plan, having two doing the same thing could get a little too confusing.

Do it.

Marline switched through radio-frequencies as she disengaged and doubled-back, the XM5 she engaged earlier having retreated to some better cover, probably wondering where her shot had come from and trying to take her out as a threat before resuming; it was best to keep them looking, so every so often a mortar-round would be lobbed near those coordinates to clutter the side-street and slow them down.

Then suddenly her radio finally managed to pick-up chatter that sounded useful:

"Multiple contacts north-west of Highview, and possibly more from other directions. Keep an eye on your flank. We need to break through and advance towards Cradle; how-copy?"

"On it, bumped one just north of Highview taking a few potshots in the open. You folks keep pushing forwards and consolidate a position at the headquarters. I'll assist where I can." She quickly keyed-in, failing to identify herself in the excitement as YASSIR rolled southeast along 31st street to check their south flank, a surprise pincer movement would be catastrophic, but every second of early-warning and interdiction would count towards saving lives.

She was hoping that through superior force of movement, they could blow-through the pincer-movement before it closed on them, leaving the XM8s bogged-down in their self-made urban-wasteland to be dealt with later by the proper authorities. Just for the sake of bullets are cheaper, she lobbed a couple of mortar-rounds into the nearest side-street east of Pembroke/Highview before rounding the corner with her autocannon raised.

"Do any of you have a fix on their artillery yet?" She asked, just as counter-battery fire began raining down on her old position north of Highview.

1 week recess, if you get a post in anyways, great. Gold-star for you.

A Heart Frozen (Ebonfort)

Chartose came to the group after a very hard week of escorting and saving damsels of various degrees of ill-repute. Usually by this time of year he'd reserve an inn until Saffra just for Tricia his scream raptor's sake, as the lizard didn't really care much for winter. Going into Fridgemount did not seem to help with her disposition any, even with the canvas-tarp and some spare blankets draped over her for a bit more warmth he knew this was going to be difficult for his stead.

Still, he'd left Becker back at the local inn to watch over the tavern-owner's things, since finding room and board for a dog was a much simpler task than for an uncouth charr mercenary and his scream-raptor.

He shifted uneasily in his saddle as he approached the foothills of the indiga mountains, the many coins of pieces of mildly-valuable metals jingling in his battered old pack as he glanced across the party that lay before him. Moon Fey ('Elf'), a drow night-elf ('elf'), half-elf (elf'd again), ork (bacon), yet another slightly less fancy drow ('elf'), and a smattering of about a quarter-dozen humans for racial-equality and/or cannon-fodder.

For a long minute, he considered trying to compliment Svaarick on making a good entrance, but quickly decided he was already well-aware of it.

Despite all these very observant eyes, the idea of summoning Becker to his backpack with a fresh load of warm blankets was still fresh in his mind as a stiff breeze ruffled his fur. Otherwise he'd have to start a fire, or worse -share a tent.

The largest limiting-factor of the frames is weight-limits, not cost. So needing to wait before getting anything decent is a non-issue.

Although the selection is a tad sparse, it does successfully allow a decent variety of builds.

Ok I am whereever foster believes I am....

Cause' he has more of a handle on this.

@DarkStar

I'd say you're on an allyway on Pembroke street or tucked around the corner of a building towards Mulberry, and not precisely in the middle of a major intersection (if the opposing force did set-up a defensive-position in an intersection, they're idiots; because outflanking them would be easy, as illustrated by a mortar-round).

There's a 4 meter wide service-alley in the north side of Highview about 60 meters past Pembroke, on the south appears to be a parking-lot* big enough to house a mortar-team. A sniper about 1 block NW of Highview would have a pretty clear line of fire down the alleyway (literally, on the other side of the alley), and leave himself as exposed as my IC suggested.

*Correction: Parking ramp

I don't have to post much.

I even know what I'm posting.

But my brain is on strike.

>Foster would like to see Darkstar's post first, but Darkstar wants clarification from Aristo.

It's either we teleport an opponent for Darkstar to smash directly flanking Cecelia from Pembroke-street, or for Darkstar's character to hulk-rush all the way down to mulberry

Thus, I have questions. Forgive me if this is a question everyone asks, but how does this work, exactly? Do we post RP ideas on this thread and hope people like the sound of them, or do we contact individual members we like and discuss the ideas with them, or do you make RPs yourself?

@HHShetland

Yes.

Pretty sure that answers it.

There's also a chatroom and apparently Skype.

Also, are there any particular pieces of lore that I'd need to absolutely know? I deeply appreciate answers given to these questions.

The wiki, expect lots of reading.

Thwirtley will likely give a better explanation, time permitting
