Another attempt at Paleo Pulp
Lt Badger has a simple mission. Go out and bag one of the giant arachnids for the scientists. They even gave him some special tranq rounds that "should" work. He sets out in a crawler with a small crew.
Lt Badger SMG
Cpl Robbs, SMG
PVT Burr, SMG
CPL Aguayo, Rifle (rifle can switch mags between tranqs and regular rounds as a free action).
As they approached the nearest arachnid, they discovered their track kept scaring all the beasts (use reaction table if within 2x Long). So they parked it. Leaving Robbs to guard the vehicle, the rest of the team move out to give Aguayo a shot.
Turn 1: They all easily move fast, covering a lot of ground before slowing down as they approach the beast.
Turn 2: Aguayo can see the beast. It's at the limit of his range, but an aimed shot might work. He's nervous, and barely makes his activation.
But he makes up for it with his shot! The tranq sinks deep into the spider's furry side. It reacts and moves away.
The LT decides to move closer for another shot. But slowly, now...
Turn 3:
Aguayo has to catch up. The others sneak forward.
turn 4:
Another aimed shot from Aguayo. It misses! But the noise startles a group of flying predators. They smell the spider and move to investigate.
The LT decides to flank around the spider, but stumbles and falls. The killer bees move in. Sensing something is wrong with the spider, they savagely attack it! Ridiculous dice rolls! The spider is stung to death right in front of the team. Well, shit.
With his 1 action, the LT suggests they try for a giant ant instead.
Aguayo sneaks up and takes a shot.
And misses.
And they run away as fast as they can.
The LT calls it a bust and orders a return to base. Next time, he'll bring somebody who can shoot better.
