Here come the pirates, three of them and well-armed, but they make the mistake of splitting up. We'll stay in a single group and bumrush them. Here's the first one. Sabo plugs her a couple times in the torso and Marshmallow tears out her throat. She drops an Uzi--fuck yeah! Bengal picks it up.
The other two pirates are trying to break through the door on the other side. We're waiting, motherfuckers. BSF and Sabo take aim from behind the brewing table while wlu_lax and rass wait with Marshmallow at the sides of the door.
The pirates give up trying to break down the door and start to flee. We go after them. Sabo suddenly shows uncanny precision and drops one with multiple pistol shots from long range! BSF gets the other! They're both still alive. Time to try the take prisoners/try to recruit thing again.
That was a hell of a fight, but we prevailed. We didn't escape unscathed, though:
-BSF suffered five gunshot wounds, including one to each kidney, but is still walking around(!)
-wlu_lax was shot in the chest with a shotgun but was wearing an armor vest. He was also beaten repeatedly with rifle butts.
-bengal has a "permanent gunshot injury to the brain" but so far I can't tell how this is going to affect him. We'll see.
-Sabo has a minor gunshot wound to the torso.
-Clovis, the new guy, was thoroughly riddled with bullets largely because I used him as a human shield to protect you guys. It looks like he'll recover, though.
-rass was the only one not injured.
Incidentally, our friends from Growth's Mesa are stopping by again. They make themselves at home and eat our food without asking, but decline to offer any help to the seriously wounded people lying all over the place.
