And so. Like particles from an exploding atom, predator and prey moves in a rapidity of motion.

Alessandra 12 - Hunter Burly 12 - Jacob 11 - Vickie 10 - Cross 8
Alessandra is UP! Orianna

Some reference points (as near as I can make out from the text):
*Alessandra is the furthest away, being out of sight of the Hunters. She is also not in the garage at this point. She is close enough to see what is going on, will probably have to run or charge to cover the distance, and is obscured by shadows. So yes, combat-y stuff is possible - just plan accordingly.

*Vickie stands on the threshold of the garage. Balaclava (mesmerised) is still ambling along toward her; he will end up standing next to her.

*Jacob is Cloaked somewhere in the garage.

*Cross is Cloaked somewhere in the garage. By description I am envisioning he is closer to the front of the car and deeper into the garage than anyone else at this point. Balaclava would using the shortest route, so he would walk around the back of the car as it is closer to the garage entrance; Cross moved to avoid the mesmerised Hunter. That is my logic and I'm sticking to it :P

*Hunter Burly is hidden from view by the car itself. I envision him being covered by the right side of the car. At the start of combat, he is trying to go for the hidden gun, knocking over all the shelves in the process.

[Alessandra]

She wasn't close enough to engage the guy in the garage, but she hopes Cross is either in there, or closer then she was. She also knew she needed to get closer to be of any use to the group, and to help keep Victoria and Jacob safe, though she was pretty sure Victoria could handle herself. Still, she didn't want to risk taking the chance of anyone getting hurt, well, beside the two Kine, she could care less if they lived or died.

Hoping the guy was still focused on Victoria and her imaginary dog, Ale will crouch and attempt to move closer to the open garage. She wants to try and remain in the shadows and unseen, though she knows that's by luck.

[Yumyumcrow]

Ale moves swift and sure, clinging to the available shadows and using the irregular shapes of the quiet garages to her advantage.

Burly scrabbles and lurches upright, a pistol shining in his hand. Its a jerky movement making him appear like an obscene, tubby, marionette hoisted cruelly on its strings. He flings out his weapon hand as he flails upright and fires straight at Vickie @Victoria Stamford Yog-Sothoth .

2016-10-18 03:18:59		Hunter Burly to shoot under duress rolls 5 to Dexterity + Firearms + Lt. Pistol - 2 (10 Again)		4, 8, 10, 2, 4, 9		3 successes

By some fluke his trigger happy aim is true!

Ale is now in position by Balaclava (Mesmerised) and Victoria Stamford. Her cover holds.

Victoria takes 3L as a bullet punches a hole in her. In shooting, Burly has sacrificed his chance to move or take cover behind the car (as it is, he only gets partial cover from its bulk; his upper torso is exposed and he is looking at his target).

Jacob White is UP!

[White]

Jacob moves the moment Burly dives, but it to late to stop the shots from ringing out. Fear and anticipation mixed into a strained grimace.
And then Jacob was beside Burly, he planted his foot and threw a hook with his entire body behind the blow.

OOC: Sorry accidentally forgot to tell the roller to roll seven dice, rolled one than six. If I should reroll let me know.

The fist is simply in Burly's jaw without warning.

OOC: This is a surprise attack as discussed via PM's with Yumyumcrow

[Yumyumcrow]

@Victoria Stamford Yog-Sothoth is UP!

Remember to mention the next person in the que

[Victoria Stamford]

With the gunfire and the failed attempt at dominate, Victoria was becoming quite irritated. She was some distance from the man and would have to rush at him in order to reach him to attack as the distance was too great to close any other way.

Instead of closing the distance to melee, Victoria trusted the others to take action. So when Jacob appeared to sucker punch the man she chose a different tactic. She would trust Robert to be in the area and take action so she instead attempted to interfere with the man. Victoria locked eyes with the man and spoke a command.

"Drop your weapon and freeze," she commanded as she approached closer to the man.

Robert Cross

[Yumyumcrow]

Cross hunkers down, invisible while Jacob simply explodes into view. The Mekhet slugs Burly with a jarring blow that clearly has the weight of the Shadow's frame behind the impact. The Hunter is knocked sideways, barely holding onto his weapon as he crashes into the car. Bouncing up from the vehicle, head spinning, his eyes lock onto the Ventrue, her eyes widening with authority and power.

He doesn't respond to Vickie's Art. He doesn't have time to speak, though, because...

@Ale is UP! Orianna

Alessandra 12 - Hunter Burly (3B/7) 12 - Jacob 11 - Vickie 10 - Cross 8

Sorry @Cross @Unlimited_Sink we ran out time :( . Combat needs to flow. Cross remains Cloaked and hidden by the front of the car.

Jacob is right next to Burly.

Burly is still glaring at Vicki - not because he's ignoring Jacob, but because that the angle his head lies after being fiercely pounded by Jacob, and bounced off the car given the tight(ish) confines. Have fun with narration

Ale is crouched next to Vicki and Balaclava (mesmerised).

Finally, in the interests of transparency I mucked up my roll :/ Here it is:

I forgot to include his full Resolve and Composure, d'uh!

And Yog-Sothoth update your minisheet - Vicki has sustained 1B from the gunfire, reduced due to her Kevlar I believe

[Alessandra]

That asshole shot Victoria!

Ale drops her cover and as swiftly as she can moves to Victoria, not wanting to block her sight, but not wanting her to take another bullet. Ale will take up a defensive stance in front of Victoria. A viscous snarl is on her lips and rage was burning in her eyes. She doesn't extend her claws yet, fully aware of the public place they were in, but oh how she wanted to.

She can't see the one who shot her yet, but once she does, and if he or she raises that gun again they were going to lose the arm. He better hope he doesn't get ballsy, cause it will be he last thing he does.
