Sunday Game
Jul. 11th, 2005 01:35 amThis time around we played some more Spycraft. I didn't have much to do beyond the planning stuff, as I am VERY much avoiding gunfights and what not from now on. So we start to clean up (or cover up depending on how you look at it) the evidence from Russian Tea Room Battle, when we find out that the bad guys have taken over a subway train, taken close to 200 people hostage and are threatening to release nerve gas into the subway tunnels if their demands aren't met. Which are for the release of various prisoners from all over the map and the bad guy spectrum. The demand seems like bullshit but the threat is real...
So we come up with a plan. We know what section of track the train is looping around, so Miles and Brendan decide that their agents will drop down onto it, Tom Cruise in the harness style. Then they can use those snakey camera things to better scope the situation. They load up with some body armor and guns and stuff and hit the train. Where everything for Brendan goes wrong. He botches the check for the landing and so he's hanging from the side of the train and his SMG goes flying. Then he botches the roll to climb back up the train and goes flying off. Then he BOTCHES FOR A THIRD TIME on his tumble check to reduce the damage, DOUBLING it instead. His fixer/wheelman becomes a bloody smear on the tracks, until the train loops around again to run over his corpse...
After that things went better with Miles managing to sneak aboard and fuse the nerve gas cannisters shut. He plants an explosive near the leader after we figure out the exact stopping point of the train if we cut its power. So NYPD sets up some snipers to be ready when it rolls to a stop. Miles then takes out one terrorist, rappeling down the side of the train and blasting him commando style. Before the second guy can figure out whats going on Miles hits him with a flash bang, leaving him blind, stunned and quickly dead. And that leaves just the leader. Who's heavily armored in a modified space suit (since hes a crazy ex-cosmonaut) and packing a grenade launcher. Miles dodges and keeps enough cover to survive until the crazed Russian runs out of ammo. He even tags him in the face with his pistol after the dude takes a hostage to use as a human shield...
And then the whack-job uses a freaking JET PACK to escape. The snipers try to take him down, but roll crap for damage. So he evades the NYPD choppers and gets away. Still we saved the hostages and prevented a nerve gas attack on the city...
Then we decided to break out a new board game Noah had bough, Betrayal at House on the Hill. Buy this game. Go and buy it now. This game was freaking AWESOME! The first game I ended up as an evil 9 year old girl with a .38 pistol! Then Brendan was a spooky drowned boy trying to kill us all. And in the last game Noah was a servant of Death himself, who we had to play chess against. Totally freaking awesome. Go get it...
