Session 4: Let's open an account in case we rob the bank later.
**********************
- Benny & Clive - Hotel Hottie - Stalking the Back door - BAM-BAM You're Dead - Love Reunited -
- Headphones & Bank-accounts - Death & Taxes - BNC is in Da House - Chicas & Brutos -
**********************

Clive is hiding in the hospital in Campecino, and he gives The Brock a silver plated Desert Eagle so that Benicia will know that the team is legit.

b1E0k.jpg

6X2WN.jpg



The scavenging of boxes in Campecino only turns up a couple of weapons and a magazine. The Brock is happy for a couple of minutes before he reads an article about helmets.

vHlCM.jpg



Back to Santa-Maria to rescue a damsel in distress.

kaZSt.jpg

r3zAI.jpg



Benicia is held in an old hotel, and if she leaves her room hell will break loose.

W1YAB.jpg

ezyOy.jpg



The Brock uses his charm(read: Gives her the gun) and she accepts his offer to help. He also gives her some equipment to help in the upcoming escape attempt.

GhvWG.jpg

9eDC6.jpg



This mission can be solved peacefully, but Geroj's recent successes has given him the taste for blood. The Brock covers the escape route while Geroj is stalking the backdoor, hur hur.

yeRez.jpg



Caston spots Benicia and sounds the alarm. She ignores him and pushes past to get to the door where The Brock is primed to welcome any pursuers.

Fpg5b.jpg



In the midst of the confusion Geroj decides to join the fun, moving from cover with his Scatter gun ready. BAM, one down. BAM, damn, second shot was a miss.

xXT6K.jpg

VkoHV.jpg

nw26d.jpg



With empty barrels he's forced to retreat, switching to his trusted Glock 22. He needs a moment to let the adrenalin kick taper off, and then goes back for a second serving.

L4fOA.jpg



BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, all shots misses the target, that pillar seems to be excellent cover, so it's time to get closer to finish the job.

z1tJb.jpg

cTjbp.jpg

rblKW.jpg



The noise from Geroj's Glock forces one of the guards out in the open, easy pickings.

E3OA6.jpg



Caston is next in line and goes down quickly.

GIxxs.jpg



There's a loud bang from inside the hotel, and it looks like someone has fumbled with a grenade. Geroj is convinced they had a suicide pact they would enforce if they ever found themselves facing him in a gun battle. That Glock has made an impact in these parts and he's probably right.

NZUrc.jpg



Geroj moves up and tries to shoot through the window but misses and hits the window sill instead.

9X0YG.jpg



He tries the door and finds himself face to face with Benicia's father.
sBu5H.jpg
: Hip shot - gut shot - headshot!

6pPFq.jpg



He pulls back before the guard down the corridor is able to get a shot off.

Mvwpy.jpg



Geroj's might flushes the guards into the warm embrace of The Brock and Benicia.

4OG1c.jpg



The two remaining guards are too afraid to move, so The Brock moves in and finish them both off with his Taurus 650.

M5y1m.jpg



What did we get?

uZYE3.jpg

MIsVg.jpg



The team travels back to Campecino and drops off Benicia. Isn't love grand?

jv2BJ.jpg

lq0u1.jpg

Protip: Remember to empty Benicia's inventory before you let her go, when she returns she'll have nothing.


While we wait for the inevitable break-up, The Brock and Geroj moves on to Puerto Viejo to tie off a few loose ends.

9v3Qd.jpg

rLkmL.jpg



The reward for reuniting Mr Sister and Elliot is rather kewl, some combat headphones that gives a giant boost to hearing. They are turned on and off by RMB clicking and selecting "Turn on/off", and the Kill book has and entry to tell us their status, amongst other things.

rlpQp.jpg

lksLk.jpg



It turns out Cyrus Lond is still waiting for his folder, apparently the team had just enough time to make it back to him.

oXZ3o.jpg



Geroj is convinced that opening a bank-account is a good idea, so he deposits 10 Grand and sets up the tax collection for the Army Base.

NtMCc.jpg



Back in Santa-Maria they pull some R&R and while there, BNC, aka Benicia, turns up and joins the team.

r3zAI.jpg

ACwMh.jpg

R@S Note: When NPC's have to travel to other sectors they travel on foot and it takes a lot of time. The longer they have to travel the longer it takes them to reach their destination.


Isn't it time to update the load-outs and go back to Sagrada to continue the BSM quest-line?

IxqQP.jpg

2cbHH.jpg

Ljgpg.jpg



Nope, as always something else turns up.

Svw2Q.jpg



frilk.jpg
: It's dark!
sBu5H.jpg
: Of course it's dark, it's the middle of the night, chica.
frilk.jpg
: Don't call me chica, bruto!
sBu5H.jpg
: Don't call me bruto , chica!
frilk.jpg
: Don't call...
AL5HU.jpg
: Enough of this! We've got people to kill, so shut your pie-holes and get moving.


Since it's the middle of the night and the moon is behind cloud cover, time to try the stealthy approach.

izXSR.jpg



Geroj switches from the Mossberg 590 to the Remington 870 to increase his range while The Brock fires his silenced HK UMP.

IcREA.jpg

8tdwV.jpg



BNC moves back to cover the rear while Geroj moves forward to get into a good position.

pkyC4.jpg

CWPXj.jpg



The Brock goes scout and tries to suss out the enemy positions while Geroj supports him with grenades and an awesome attitude.

DN7kV.jpg

7qGIx.jpg



BNC gets company which she handles with a plum. But she's wise enough to know that this is only the first of many, so she prepares to pull back.

HQ8yi.jpg



The Grenade goes off, killing one Tourist and knocking another one unconscious. The blast disturbs Geroj's aim and he misses his shot.

n81Pw.jpg

sBu5H.jpg
: I'm hit!
frilk.jpg
: Don't be such a baby, it's hardly a flesh wound.


Geroj takes a hit in the arm, but that doesn't slow him down and he pays back the compliment with two successive hits.

pvzjw.jpg



Time to pull back, regroup and lick the wounds.

zpgfm.jpg



BNC takes out her separation anger on the unconscious "Tourist" by kicking him to death. Anger management was never her strong suit.

TN9ds.jpg



While Geroj patches up a couple of Tourists comes looking for them, BNC handles one and The Brock the other.

L2Yda.jpg

0x2lp.jpg



Geroj decides to make a flanking maneuver to mop up any stragglers while The Brock and BNC moves straight for the other entry point.

LacdC.jpg



Two more Tourists comes looking for them but they doesn't stand a chance.

3QWDh.jpg

mEVaC.jpg



Geroj hooks up with one, and a couple of hip shots sends the Tourist flying through the air.

ctT1J.jpg



The final Tourist comes walking up from behind, it was lucky that The Brock remembered to turn on the headphones and heard him before they were spotted. In this war torn country even a shot in the leg can prove to be fatal.

YyBtp.jpg



Worst loot ever, but The Brock was getting low on .45ACP rounds for his HK UMP so it wasn't a total waste of time.

SAHQd.jpg



Back to Sagrada to deal with Paco the Taco...

kHvXD.jpg

oN1WY.jpg



The next installment will follow shortly, just need to upload the pics...

- Extra! Extra! Read all About it! - Tommy Guns & Bubble Gum - Geroj's Might is Alright -
- Traders & Discounts - Football Sunday - Police Anxieties - Level Up! -
**********************

oN1WY.jpg



When the team arrives in Sagrade there's a reporter from the Sagrada Gazette waiting for them. The news of Geroj's Glock has made the front page and the team poses for a picture. Geroj adjusts his fake 'stash and is gracious enough to let The Brock and BNC be part of it, as long as they bow down to his might.

96mNa.jpg



On the way to the trader to sell some loot, BNC spots something interesting.

InSfo.jpg

frilk.jpg
: Will you look at that beautie, I want me some Tommy Gun action.
sBu5H.jpg
: We don't have time for this, I'll find you a better one later.
frilk.jpg
: But I wanna! Pretty please with a cherry on top.
sBu5H.jpg
: Begging wont help, let's move it.
AL5HU.jpg
: C'mon Geroj, let her have it.
sBu5H.jpg
: Fine, whatever...


The team gets into position, giving BNC a chance to take the 98k out for a stroll. Bandit #1 goes down town.

YCZ79.jpg

Ian2A.jpg



The Brock is prepared for the inevitable advance, cripples Bandit #2 with a burst from his UMP.

NF7eS.jpg



Geroj's Glock puts Bandit #2 out of his misery while BNC lays down some covering fire.

GfXzJ.jpg

pjn4d.jpg



Geroj's Glock does it's thang and Bandit #3 bites the dust.

AdOH6.jpg



The Brock moves in and together with Geroj they make sure Bandit #4 doesn't get up again, ever...

s7nO9.jpg



The loot is starting to get more interesting, and BNC is all giddy when she finally gets her hands on the Tommy Gun.

1m17K.jpg

tgkDJ.jpg



Back at the trader, The Brock learns that he'll get a discount if he helps Marcelo solve a problem.

6xi1n.jpg

64RUu.jpg


Protip: In these situations, checking the mini-map is very useful when deciding on a strategy.

The Brock and BNC will take care of the two guys coming from NE while Geroj will take the one coming from the NW.

WxNzh.jpg



They don't stand a chance.

mdum0.jpg

NEWpu.jpg



While BNC finishes the second guy off, The Brock starts moving towards the SE entry point.

VYm8K.jpg



Geroj spots his foe and lets a hip shot loose but misses.

Oqxeu.jpg

4EsXR.jpg



He moves up to get a clear shot and this time his shottie connects. To save some ammo he decides to kick the downed enemy into next Sunday.

2vjx8.jpg

ZGYmK.jpg



The Brock encounters the two bandits coming up from the SE entry point and an aimed burst takes care of one of them.

IPfo6.jpg



A wild exchange of lead ensues, The Brock getting lucky several times when bullets whizzes by. His mag runs out of bullets and he has to reload, but by that time the enemy is bleeding heavily and can hardly get a shot off.

SHdHA.jpg

neewE.jpg



The final enemy from the SW entry point gets squeezed between Geroj and The Brock and shortly follows his companions into the afterlife.

SwkrR.jpg



The reward and selling the loot increases the team's budget by roughly 2000$ and they now have a discount with that trader.

QXzrj.jpg



Outside the Police station an argument about who should have to deal with Paco erupts.

kp3WY.jpg

AL5HU.jpg
: Crap on a stick, not this guy again.
sBu5H.jpg
: BNC, get in there and deal with this.
frilk.jpg
: Nu-uh, I don't wanna.
sBu5H.jpg
: Chica, do what you're told.
frilk.jpg
: I told you not to call me that!
AL5HU.jpg
: Silencio! You got the Tommy gun, didn't you? Get your butt up those stairs right now young lady.
frilk.jpg
: Awwwe, shucks!
G7msY.jpg



Paco needs help dealing with some smugglers in Santa-Maria, he even supplies the drugs to frame them.

pKO56.jpg

91uHp.jpg



Before we leave Sagrada it's time to spend some Player Class points that were rewarded at the 50:th kill.

83zEf.jpg

RrQFP.jpg

r3zAI.jpg



The smugglers are easy to find, and the team is given an interesting proposition.

W5r5F.jpg


1: Should they plant the drugs and arrest Miguel?
2: Or should they take the 10000$ bribe and let him go?
3: Or just kill 'em?

You choose.

You might be interested to know that if option #2 gets the most votes we'll have enough money to recruit Kestrel. The 10000$ reward for helping Lond is still sitting in the bank collecting interest, together with the 15000$ in pocket change it should be enough for a one week contract.

And check out Geroj on the last pic, he tries to check out his own arse:smug:
W5r5F.jpg

sBu5H.jpg
: Does my arse look big in this outfit?

I think his ego is getting too big for this game.

I like to believe that Miguel is the worst kind of drug dealer: The kind that cuts his pot with oregano, cocaine with powdered sugar, and heroin with saline. He deserves to be humiliated... and I can't think of any worse punishment than being forced to stay in the same building as Paco the Taco.

Once again we have a tie so I'll leave the voting booth open until tomorrow morning.

I have great things planned for then, we'll be leaving the safe zone for the first time. We'll get to the next game level getting better loot and we'll have our first random encounter out in the open which means different tactics will be used. We'll most definitely visit Ciudad-de-Oro and maybe even go as far as Cali-Cantinos.

And we'll get so see The Brock go berserk as well, which mustn't be missed at any cost.

So cast your vote today!

Session 6: Lucky doesn't even start to describe it.
**********************
- Suppository Madness - Ambushing Scallywags - Grenades Ahoj! - In Your Face Bitch - Miguel's Plea -
- El-Verigo Turkey Shoot - BNC Finds Her Stride - Mechanic in Ciudad-de-Oro - Kestrel Joins the Team -
**********************

Arresting Miguel turns out to be a walk in the park, well, in a cave to be exact. A cave of the anal variety, but BNC has experience in Spe'lunking and showed everyone how it's done.

Njg5E.jpg



Back in Sagrada there's a lot of new faces about.

gUGRB.jpg

WBCuz.jpg



The team prepares themselves and even Miguel senses that something is wrong.

2P3iL.jpg

kcwVD.jpg



The Brock moves up to the stairs in front of the police building and everything goes pear-shaped. Geroj is prepared and cuts Scallywag #1 off at the kneecaps.

VdtVQ.jpg

esaT7.jpg



BNC is in trouble, she's under fire but can't shoot back, Scallywag #2 is using a human shield. But she's a clever girl and rolls in to a position that will force him to move out from behind his cover.

sX7gu.jpg

yvdqv.jpg



The Brock spots Scallywag #3, and this one is sporting a grenade.

ehnE7.jpg



The Brock finds cover behind the stairs while Geroj hunkers down behind a wall. The grenade lands where it doesn't do any harm.

Fcoif.jpg



A shotgun blast from Scallywag #2 flies above BNC's head, sending ricochets flying in all directions. Both BNC and Geroj are unharmed, but one pellet finds it's way to Miguel who's hiding inside the police building.

o2ujR.jpg



Scallywag #4 hurls a grenade towards Geroj and BNC, Geroj spots it in time and pulls back but BNC is concentrating on Scallywag #2 and doesn't notice what's happening.

Kud5T.jpg



The Brock pops up from his cover and Scallywag #3 is no more.

KJFQb.jpg



Geroj starts his flanking maneuver while BNC is pinning down Scallywag #2 with short, controlled bursts from her Tommy gun.

rWE4Z.jpg



frilk.jpg
: What the...

The grenade lands where even BNC can see it.

hGzPs.jpg



She manages to turn away just in time and the blast sends her into shock.

Ifoid.jpg



The Brock sees what's happening and provides support while BNC tries to get her bearings back.

c3VW6.jpg



Geroj's flanking maneuver pays off, Scallywag #4 is not aware of him until it's too late.

DLuuO.jpg

7pHsV.jpg



Suddenly...

8NFcK.jpg

AL5HU.jpg
: BNC!
frilk.jpg
: I'm OK, I think...

R@S Note: I stll can't believe that blast didn't do more damage than it did. Let this be a lesson to y'all, if short on time, hit the dirt, it might save your bacon.


Geroj, who saw Scallywag #2 thow the grenade gets a wee bit angry.
sBu5H.jpg
: How'd'ya like that, you good for nuffin' sum'bitch.

gYJtE.jpg



While BNC uses some bandages to stop the bleeding The Brock spots Scallywag #5 and #6.

Tyg78.jpg



He takes #5 out with two aimed shots while Geroj lets his boomstick sing a little song.

xGBz7.jpg

GUndI.jpg

yyEX0.jpg

F54mO.jpg



BNC moves up to help and spots Scallywag #7. She fires a burst straight into the ground a few feet in front of her.

7fC2N.jpg

sBu5H.jpg
: You OK BNC?
frilk.jpg
: WHAT?
sBu5H.jpg
: I SAID, ARE YOU OK?
frilk.jpg
: WHAT?
sBu5H.jpg
: Never mind, hold on.
XqzGn.jpg



Scallywag #7 goes down and Miguel comes out of his hiding. He makes his plea, but after what the team just have been through it's on deaf ears, literally.

XTRfb.jpg



And the loot?

UwWQl.jpg

UtkLZ.jpg

AL5HU.jpg
: How are you feeling BNC?
frilk.jpg
: A bit shook up, but I'll manage.
AL5HU.jpg
: Hang back a while and I'll deal with The Taco.
BcCK2.jpg



Miguel gets locked up in a cell, but he'll soon be transported to El-Vertigo prison and doesn't have to be in the next room from The Taco for long, which is a pity.

Nwnub.jpg



On the way out, The Taco grabs The Brock's arm and uses his cajolery skills to get The Brock to accept the next mission, escorting Miguel to El-Vertigo prison. On the road again...

MYvbh.jpg

xhDdX.jpg

EXj0U.jpg

xD1UB.jpg



The team decides to give Miguel a Chinese carbine so he can help out if needed. Geroj keeps a close eye on him while the team gets in to position.

qnMYh.jpg

FAxdX.jpg

Protip: Notice the slope in front of BNC and The Brock, it will defend them against grenades since they tend to roll downhill, and the angle with direct the blast over their heads.


Miguel moves up and introduces himself.

8rc6G.jpg

IinKe.jpg



It doesn't take long before the enemy springs their trap, but the team is well prepared. And in these situations being prepared means having a clear line of fire and weapons with good range. A bloody turkey shoot commences.

pfrwE.jpg

9dL9p.jpg

SZXAR.jpg

4lzaE.jpg

frilk.jpg
: Muahaha, look at him fly!
AL5HU.jpg
: He's bending himself backwards to please you.

REzWc.jpg

RyOP8.jpg

5vPVH.jpg

9diCF.jpg



The team strips Miguel of the Chinese carbine and delivers him to the prison administrator, then heads to a town they passed on their way, Ciudad-de-Oro.

N7ahe.jpg

xM8pM.jpg

DY8Ta.jpg



The crates turned up an MP5SD6, a very quiet weapon, but it overheats way too fast to be useful.

kI7oK.jpg



Geroj, always making new friends, offers to help a poor soul get revenge of the best kind, death.

crQb1.jpg



They visit the local trader and makes a boat-load of cash selling the loot, enough for hiring another merc. But first back to Sagrada for the reward.

VHtB9.jpg

KWnkN.jpg

XE76s.jpg



The Brock uses the Field Radio to call Speck, he agrees to pay the fee and it doesn't take long before Kestrel turns up.

XZqLu.jpg

m4CES.jpg

AL5HU.jpg
: Team, meet Kestrel, our newest addition. Kestrel, meet the team, BNC and Geroj.
frilk.jpg
: He's cute.
sBu5H.jpg
: Keep it in your pants chica.
frilk.jpg
: I tol...


The team gear up for some new adventures, The Taco mentioned something about a mole in the police department...

E3d3L.jpg

mDuxI.jpg


That's it folks, the weekend is over. Maybe I'll have some spare time during the week to do one or two more sessions, but it might be until next weekend before I'll have time again. It has been a hoot and a half doing this, and hopefully you feel the same. 'Til next time.

Another nice update! You always manage to capture the good shots. Right when the bullets strike, right when the grenade goes off .. especially considering the effects disappear even when paused.

As for that grenade, I was surprised myself. Then again, M67s are next to worthless when you want to kill someone. Rarely I've managed to score a kill with those grenades, but I still use them because of their size and the fact it still stuns enemies.

Hehe, keeping an eye on their individual timer helps a lot, but it's getting harder the more mercs I control. In the end only 1 out of 4-5 screen shots gets used in the LP. Lot of duds:)

Looking at the stats for Kestrel I can already see he's gonna be one heck of a killing machine, hopefully I'll get my hands on some good AR's soon so he'll have something to play with.

Jeez, those M67s can't kill for anything. I only use them to flush out crouching and prone enemies. Roll one into the bush and watch as the AI flees.

If you guys keep bumping this thread, I might be forced to make the next installment tomorrow. I'm not complaining, it's fun work:)
