I'm not a lurker. In all honesty, I'm here until the HijackThis Logfile thread of mine gets answered, then I'm outies again for a good while. My hand just happened to wander over the forum and PM box while doing so.

Works crazy, especially since the renovations being done in the summer are done. Mistress is currently off grocery shopping while I fight with the PC's vitural memory.

* The ragged and soiled cleric's eyes narrow as he turns to address the ranger. *

My ability to obey orders is not in question here!

Yours however, * notes the absence of the fishsauce bath * is clearly sub-standard.

I don't think that your quite the material I need to further my cause.

If you wish to make amends I shall be over in yon booth plotting bloody revenge.

Afternoon All,

Been a quiet morning here in the pub.

*Ranger awakens, stretches, and glances over at the sullen, soiled, ragged cleric that's sulking in a corner booth*
My my, are we having a bad morning my cleric friend? You should post in the grumpy morning thread too.

If you want to sulk that's fine, but you're always welcome to have a brew on me. (You might want to remember who picked up your bar tab before you plot revenge)

Good to know there's no question about your ability to take orders.

Another ranger?

Hmm. I'd better switch divisions to avoid confusion with the above ranger.

I'll pick the Airborne paratrooper. Kind of like paratrooping on top of the enemy anyway.

Yeah, Philos, been too quiet here. Oh well, time to move on.

*Walks into the bar* Hmm. No wonder it's quiet. *Sees pools of blood, overturned tables, chairs and a few bodies. Walls and ceilings were riddled with bullet holes* Jerries must've been here. Damn them. Whoever they're looking for, he/she must be important to them, judging by the intensity of the fight.

*Glances around and noticed a gaping hole next to the counter* Ouch. Kraut artillery. Not pleasant when you're within range.

*Starts treading carefully among the dead*

So far so good. *Felt vibrations and a very familiar sound* Crap! Krauts! *Peers out the window and notices a large column of Kraut armour and infantry* Oh man. I'm a goner. I hope they avoid this place. *Starts hiding below the window*

To be continued.....

"Jerries"? "Krauts?" asks the dusty, wood splintered Ranger as he pushes his way through rubble of what was once the doorway to the storage room. "Are they like Orcs? I might have a surprise or two in store for them! Here I was, enjoying a nice ale watching that ragged, rancid cleric stew in his juices when pieces of wood started flying everywhere. I dove into the storeroom, ended up making friends with the wolf who was about as happy about all this as I was, and decided to wait till the splinters settled.

Glancing around, "Hoo boy, DW is gonna spit nails when she sees what these 'Krauts' have done to her place."

So Des, you're an "airborne" ranger eh!! But where'd you hide your wings? Or perhaps, maybe you use "fly" spells to get airborne?

Can't get this little tune out my head, "I wanna be an airborne ranger, I wanna live a life of danger."

Both 'Jerries' and 'Krauts' are terms used by both British and American troops to describe the German military back in World War 2. I've been playing a lot of World War 2 based games lately and kept hearing them say either one of them or both.

I don't have wings and the most I have is a parachute. I paradrop behind enemy lines. That's the Airborne's specialty. Main objective is to secure the zone for the main calvary to pass through.

Dang. Had to evacuate the bar due to the overwhelming presence of Jerries. Almost like a whole battalion just came and visit the bar. No point causing havoc there as there are too many civilians in the vicinity. I'll do a stakeout to see where those Krauts might be heading to, after they've finished their partying at the bar.

The Gull's Roost Tavern and Inn... I am sure it wasn’t an inn week ago.
* Scratching the back of his head. *

Umm... excuse me; I’d like to inquire if there are any rooms vacant? You see I am little bit lost and...

Don’ ya’ dear beliv’ tha’ Airborne propaganda, ya’ hear? They drop ya’ in th’ middle of enemy lines an’ then ya’ got no chances of survival because ya’ will barely get any reinforcements or supplies. If ya’ wont die in th’ first twenty minutes ya’ ar’ lucky nut. An’ there’s no good sides being a nut, especially dead nut, ya’ get it?

Impossible or not, we still have to do it. Orders are orders. We fight together, we all go home together. No one gets left behind. Let's get this over with.

Kipi wrote:Ah, would you like to have some company to taht mission? I itching to get some action again...

Sure. What weapons do you have? The only weapons that I have is a Thompson, a pistol, some satchel charges and a few grenades. Sabotaging those tanks and their vehicles should be better than taking them head-on guns blazing.

AK47, few grenades, knife, and 2 light rocketlauncher...
And, of course, enough ammos to AK47...

Hmm. Good. But as agreed, no frontal assault. Just plain sabotage. I'll plant some satchel charges on those vehicles while you cover me and make sure there are no stragglers around. Clear?

Sir! Yes Sir!

I'll be lying inside the bushes while you do the sabotage...

All right! *Sets timer on satchel charges* Time to get this over with. *Goes from one tank after another throwing satchel charges in them. Then goes over to the halftracks and other vehicles and does the same*

*Hides behind a nearby bush* Done. Finally. Took me an hour to plant those charges. Man, do they really need that many vehicles? Oh well, I've done my part, now if everything goes as planned, they'll be in for a surprise once they reach that crossroad. Once they're dealt with, the path will be clear for the main calvary to come into town.

In doity years on a hoss’bag I never hoid anything more... * Sigh * so it can’t be helped. Those two are goners for good. Young men and their guns, always polishing and bragging. Nothing good can ever come out of it.

* Trying to stop one of the cleanup fairies *

Excuse me miss, please, I'd have some questions about the room if you don't mind?

Ah, good, then we can return to the base.

Is the crossroad mined also? That would make even better surprise. Few land- and anti-personel mines would do the trick...
