>>5975481Thanks, anon! I'm trying my best with the writing. It's my first quest, so I wanna do it right.
>>5975236Mistake - inventory is wrong. You used the phosphorus grenade.
>>5975304>>5975458>>5975481Engines are revving, someone is still screaming in agony, and their guns are loud - you can't hear them, if they're talking.
The stuck traffic is now trying to get the fuck out with shit hitting the fan. A lot of them have gleft their cars entirely, running down the street away from the Nixxes. The gangoons seem to be moving up on both sides, judging from the arc of fire - a few rounds are flying over your head now, rather than hitting the cabin.
You know there's at least two enemies, then. One on each side. It could be three - you can only hear one person screaming. But you might've got more than one. Or maybe it's a bystander... Fuck.
"There could be two but could be four" - nice deduction. You're basically blind, perfect situation for planning. They're not shooting civilians, but they know you're behind this car. No chance to pretend you're a random. Fight or flee.
You scrabble across the floor to get under the previous car. It's a civvie-model Militech-HMMWV Hummer. Heavily armoured, quad-directional tear gas dispenser, 20 minute internal air supply. Yes, the civilian model - and the driver's sat inside. Nearly under this truck, a gunshot sounds close behind you. Asphalt sprays up and you roll onto your back, kicking against the road to push you further under the vehicle. The Nixx drops into a crouch, bracing their gun and dialing in their aim - but you shoot first.
[Roll - 16. Success.]
Bang, bang. Two shots - the first blows his lower left arm clean off, and the barrel drops as it's no longer suported. The second hits his clavicle, throwing him backwards without most of his upper torso.
Gunfire comes from the right side, hitting the Hummer's tire, but you continue to scrabble back, emerging from under the rear of the car. It's tall enough that you could stand up and return fire.
You've fired three shots. 5 left.

>Continue to scrabble backwards, under the next car and the next until you're at an advantagious position. Or they catch up and simply shoot you as you're rolling around on the floor.>Stand up, hope the Hummer doesn't reverse over you and start firing.>Write-in. [Picrel is a badly drawn map - you don't know where the enemies are, so they're not on there. If they would be on there. Hope it's helpful in visualizing the area.]
