10 and 3 for my agility rolls. :?
All right, Sen, it's a d8-d2 for you!

The wall takes one of those shots, but you're hit with the other!

Turns out Volley is THE ONE!

Volley, would you like to continue your mini-mission and attempt to shoot the turret with your revolver, or jump off the building and fly down at this point?

Volley leaps off the roof and slowly flutters down to the ground, mumbling angrily the entire way.

Sen is hit by a blast of buckshot. He's wounded, but alive!

Volley leaps off the warehouse roof, activates his drone suit and flies to the ground safely.

+ + +

Sen: would you like to attack? Another grenade or do you want to let rip with that assault rifle?

I'll use the assault rifle to gun down whichever one shot me.

You're good; you duck back behind the doorway and the brick wall absorbs both shots!

Roll me a d20+2 for Presence!

That's a hit! Roll a d8-d2, then roll d20+2 for Presence again (this is what you do when using auto-fire)

Not a devastating assault this turn!

Let's see what Zola and do...

There's two, and they're sort of in the northern half of the warehouse.
