[2E] Kenseido's Force Ops: Have I Got a Deal For You

[kenseido]

They are all around the club, at least a dozen. Probably more. Unique scents all with those familiar scents that all the Southside C's had. They all seem to be drinking and socializing, spread out into small groups of 2 to 4. None of them seem to have made any of you.

Golden Tiger

Nolan will seek the others out and tip them to the Southsider's presence. He will single them out and suggest to his teammates that there are too many civilians around to try anything openly--the Southsiders are indifferent to harming innocents.

[kenseido]

That may attract attention. Need a Bluff check to see how well you hide it.

Bluff (1d20=7)
Haha, it's kickin' off now!

Outside the club

Gargoyle doesn't spot the man outside the club either, but he does notice something - a man in a gas company uniform working on the gas meter. Odd because its well past midnight.

Noting the unusual time for someone from one of the utility companies to be working, Gargoyle moved to a point where he could get a better view of the 'gas company worker'.

Gargoyle

He seems to be covering up what he is doing pretty well, so you can't geta clear view of his actions. As you move closer, you see a small wooden box next to him, exactly the same as the boxes holding the bombs back at the warehouse.

Inside the bar

A couple of the groups of Southside C's take notice of Golden Tiger's "subtle" attempts to point them out.

Need Gargoyle's reaction to the attempt to plant a bomb on the gas lines.

What the hell!? Gargoyle thought when he saw the box the man had. That can't be a coincidence but how the hell did he get one of those? I thought we'd made sure those had been disabled....were there more we missed?

There was no way that Gargoyle was going to let this guy continue doing what he was doing. He had some questions for this guy to answer, but first he needed to secure him. So he moved in closer so he could grab ahold of the man.

Trying to sneak up on the guy, Stealth: (1d20+8=12), yeah....so this elephant tried sneaking up on a guy instead.....
Going for a grapple.
Melee Attack: (1d20+8=14), so I guess it's my days for crap rolls....
In the event that somehow manages to connect, Grapple Check: (1d20+22=33)

[kenseido]

Gargoyle

As you approach your target, he seems to be caught up in his work. But as you grab him, he moves out of the way at the last minute, spinning around to face you.

"Man, I don't know which is worse. The bullhorn you set off trying to sneak up on me or your aftershave. I'm sure you know what this is." He holds up his hand which appears to be holding a dead man's switch. He looks like he is wearing a wig, but otherwise matches the description of the man you are looking for.

"So here's the deal, hero. Boss doesn't want you folks dead... not yet. He wants something special for your deaths. But this club is full of Southisde C's. They don't get a pass. So pull your people out without making a scene and the bad guys go boom. Otherwise, we all do; you, me, and everyone in the club - your team included."

Notice: 1d20+5=15
That means the attack is a miss.

Gargoyle:
[J.R. Carlton]
HP: 0
Luck Points: 0 (-1 for re-roll)
Condition: Bruised & Injured

Gargoyle cursed mentally. He didn't have many choices at the moment and most of them were bad in some way, shape or form. So he went with the most direct one.

"You realize there's a problem with using a deadman's switch?" Gargoyle moves faster than most people would believe possible for a man of his physical size, grabbing hold of the other man to keep him from moving away while making sure he grabbed the hand that held the deadman's switch in a way that prevented the other ma from letting go of it. "You have to be able to let go of it for it to work."

Then he activated his communicator. "Gargoyle to everyone else; get everyone out of the club now! Target is outside with me and has set more bombs up inside."

Trying to grab hold of this guy by the hand holding the deadman's switch and keeping him from letting it go.
Melee Attack: (1d20+8=17)...seriously IC? I somehow think I'm going to need a better roll than that so drop last HP to re-roll.
Re-Rolled Melee Attack: (1d20+8=12)...sigh and that's a 22 total with the re-roll bonus....here's hoping it's enough.
And a Grapple Check: (1d20+22=33).

Golden Tiger

Nolan looked up at one of the Southies just as Gargoyle's command came over the commlink. "Everybody out!" he shouted. "This is the police! This is a RAID! Outside now!"

He shook his head. He'd take a bite of these Southies soon enough.

[kenseido]

Gargoyle

"You crazy sonnuva..." the man cries as your grab his hand and hold it firmly closed while your other arms locks his free arm and you check him against the wall.

Yeah, you got his best grapple check beats by like 7.

Inside the club

The reaction isn't as big as you expected. The music drwons out anything more then 20 feet away, but the people around you are reacting. The news begins to slowly spread as the people closest to you head for nearby exits.

Having already drawn the attention of several groups of Southside C's, they have a very different reaction. Guns, knives, chains, and clubs start to become visible from the various club members who don't seem to happy their recreation is being interrupted.

And I was worried you were going to do this without a fight. Silly me.
Initiative for everyone inside.

PAGAn

Having been sent to find a specific van by Duncan - that wasn't there - you are now on a block away from the Garage, where the rest of the team is following another lead.
