[IC] Pistol Grip Pump (Gweyr Vs. Donny)

[Doc Doctor]

@Athinar

It seemed that Gweyr hadn't learned the first time. Right before she landed, Donny would whirl around and fire at the grenade. Why wait when he could blow it up with the pull of a trigger?

[Athinar]

@Doc Doctor Luckily, with the THICK, BLINDING FOG that surrounded them, the shot went wide.

[Doc Doctor]

@Athinar

As Gweyr would have summoned the fog after she had landed, Donny would have already hit the grenade by then. Not that the fog would matter, for the killer had memorised the spatial location of the grenade and could have hit it with his eyes closed.

[Athinar]

@Doc Doctor Gweyr landed atop the grenade, and Donny shot it. However, she was still wearing armor on her legs, arms, and most of her head, so when the grenade was shot, she was protected from the small amount of fire that came from the severed blasting cap when it flew back. Lunging forward, Gweyr was slightly confused. Did he really think that shooting a grenade with a handgun would work?

Once more, she cast magic missiles at the man, through the fog, in a scatter pattern.

[Doc Doctor]

@Athinar

The spells would rocket through the fog. A moment later Donny could be heard yelping loudly. Then...

Tattattattatta-!

One of Gweyr's magic missiles had struck Donny in the knee, completely shattering it and grounding him. But before the fog had cleared, he'd have shoved himself to the side so that his yelp wouldn't get him hit, unslung his tommy gun, and unleashed a hail of bullets at Gweyr. Unlike her magic missiles, these weren't random. He'd have triangulated her position by watching where the magic missiles had come from. There were a hell of a lot more than just six bullets this time. There were dozens, and the mage's armor had probably been used up by the last grenade.

[Athinar]

@Doc Doctor Gweyr knew she couldn't dodge the hail of fire, so she did the next best thing. She turned sideways, her armored arm and leg, as well as the parts of the helmet that remained protecting her. A few bullets pinged off her shoulder and leg armor, leaving misty blue cracks, for while the Thompson fired .45 ACP rounds, it was not as powerful a gun, for it had to fire many bullets quickly, rather than a few, powerfully.

Gweyr assumed that the man would have had some way to find her location, so she moved before the fog cleared. Jumping into the sky, Gweyr was about 20 ft in the air, illuminated against the moon. If Donny looked up, he'd see a small flash of energy, before the lightning arced into his body, hitting his gun.

If he dropped the gun or threw it, the explosion of all the remaining bullets in the gun would hit him. If he did not, he would get fried by lightning. If there were no bullets left, the lightning would most likely arc from the gun to the magnum, which was still on Donny's person.

[Doc Doctor]

@Athinar

Due to the fog Gweyr wouldn't be able to see Donny aiming at her and so might have not known to turn her armor in his way. He'd expend twenty-eight rounds, ready to alter his aim in the direction of any screams or pings.

[Athinar]

@Doc Doctor She might not have known, but she could certainly react. The fight had been nowhere near five minutes long, so she still had plenty of time left on her Arcane Style. The increased agility would allow her to turn away three times faster than any normal human, so where a normal human would have been grazed while turning away, she was able to turn to the side nigh-instantaneously.

[Doc Doctor]

@Athinar

The problem was less Gweyr's agility and more her being hit before she even knew she was being shot at. The fog obscured her vision and the bullets were as fast as sound. Even with three times the reaction speed of a normal human, bullets were bullets and she wouldn't know she was being shot at until she was shot.

[Athinar]

@Doc Doctor Luckily, spells were cast at the speed of thought, and an Interposing Hand sprung up between the bullets and herself, after one bullet managed to cut her along her exposed right side. Bullets already in the space that the hand appeared in were displaced to the sides, and the rest ricocheted off of the magical barrier.

[Doc Doctor]

@Athinar

Donny limped to his feet, dropping the tommy gun to better favor his Magnum as he hobbled to his left. As he kept moving, he'd flick open the cylinder of his revolver and take a look inside before snapping it closed again. He had to take care with his ammunition and keep track of how much he had. He didn't have an infinite amount, after all.

[Athinar]

@Athinar

Donny was by now used to handling the lightning spells. He had been lucky the first time, and had experimented the second time. He knew now that the best course of action before shooting Gweyr was to aim the first bullet off to the side before she unleashed the lightning. He would do so, firing off to her right to draw away the spell before firing twice in quick succession at her whilst she was in the air, one aimed at her head and one at her chest. He'd keep the Magnum focused on her as she fell, legging it over to her landing site.
