A little embarrassed that his more then over the top attacks resulted in absolutely nothing, Von just grumbles " Ah, Fuck it" to himself while he turns his lumbering ceramite suit to the direction of the hounds and then aims his twin-linked boltgun at the healthiest hound. A loud crack emanates from the weapon as two explosive bolt shells make their way towards the mutated creature, striking it with a loud explosive bang do a single shot at the hound. Ai does a Aid Another action giving me +1k0 attack roll [10, 9, 8, 6, 6, 5, 3, 2] + [5] = 38 damage roll [10, 8, 7, 6] + [2] = 20 X damage, Pen 6

Noelle glances to the scuffle with the other hound. She wants to help out by pinning it in place but decides otherwise from the snarling of the one close to her. Her mouth turns into a flat line as she carefully tiptoes around it while clinging her Lasgun to her chest. She positions herself closer to the alleyway, further from both the creature and her group. She didn't live this long by folding under the stress of combat. Her grasp of tactics, as meager as it is, has been honed by numerous death-defying encounters in the wilds. The best solution is to lure the creature away from the group. "Just stay where you are!" the Tiefling exclaims. She releases her hand from the front of her Lasgun and aims her palm at the hound, channeling more of the mystical energy that permeates her being. A harsher spray of cold sprays out from her hand onto the creature, chilling it with a layer of ice. The flow of magic makes her feel a sort of "tension" that breaks from her output. "O-Oh no..." she whispers in realization as the air around her is filled with an absolutely deafening cacophony of screams. She tries to cover her ears but it's too late, her sense of hearing shuts down. The last thing she thinks she hears is the voice of her insane mother yelling for her daughter. Noelle winces at the reminder of an old memory. Some part of her can't help but worry at what she looks to her companions now. "Don't worry guys, it'll be fine!" she shouts in shaky assurance. This isn't the first time this has happened, but certainly the first time it happens with non-enemies present. Shift action to move across the hound and end up 2m away from it in the other direction.

(banshee howl has no radius, it simply IS.)
as the ice spews out from the poor tiefling's hands, a blaring screach roars out, pounding at everyone's ears and causing the windows on the nearby buildings to shatter. the noise is so loud the hound scampers away, narrowly avoiding the freezing mist that caused this in the first place. As Mora & Von Braun recover from the massive noise (Tohyo, Iris, and Noelle herself (as well as the hounds) are not so lucky, and for the next 8 rounds are left deafened by an all-consuming ringing in their ears), the two hear a loud roar in return in the far-off distance.

Mora shakes her head, thankfully shrugging off the loud wail that suddenly manifested all around her. Lucky her. Whether she's lucky or unlucky to have heard something far fiercer potentially now coming their way is debatable. "What was tha- ...ah feck!" Con v Banshee Howl (TN 15): 6, 6, 5, 3, 1 = 21

Iris grits her teeth, trying vainly to clamp her ears shut against the keening that rips through her head with the reindeer's spell, the golden lens of her defensive shell flickering a bit against an attack it can't prevent. Okay, ears ringing... she's on the other side of that mutt... great...Then, glaring at the animal, she starts dredging up her electrical charge again, probably pulling a bit more than strictly necessary this time. Her shell glows brightly along her arm as she raises it to point at the animal... Noelle? No, the ring of light resolves into a torus around her wrist as she aims at the mutt... not that I'd cry if she got hit by a stray shot, after that. She can't hear the whine of electricity awaiting discharge. The mutts, on the other hand, might hear something, before she releases her flash of lightning at the one between herself and her fellow spellcaster! CON vs. Banshee Howl: [6,3] = 9, 8 rounds Deafened Focus Power (Pushed): [8,6,6,4]+10 = 24 vs. TN 15 Psychic Phenomena: [6]+10 = 16 (Aura of Taint) (11m) Ranged Touch: [9,8,5,4,2] = 22 Damage: [9,6,5]+2 = 17 E damage, Shocking

Well, on one hand, the bolt of lightning narrowly missed one rather jittery hound, searing a black stain into the cracked pavement. On the other hand, they clearly know something this batch of jokers DON'T, because the both of them pretty much immediately turn tail and start running away in the direction they came. They both use a run action to flee down the very streets they entered the scene from. This of course provokes, in case mora wanted to whack at the one by her or something. If nobody chases after, then that is the end of the encounter.

Snapped out of her moment of 'oh no' briefly, Mora recognizes that the hound has dropped its guard to turn tail. Well, why not give it a little parting gift for being such a feisty lil blighter. A good spank from her hammer ought to do. It ought to do just fine. Opportunity attack, +2k0 from hound using Run action Weaponry: 11, 8, 8, 7, 6, 3, 2; +1 = 28 Damage: 8, 8, 7, 6, 2, 1 = 23 Concussive: test Str vs TN 15 or be knocked prone

The hound gives one final whine of pain and fear as the strike tears off part of its tail as it sprints away into the dark...with that, it seems our heroes finally have a moment of reprieve before they set out to continue their mission it rolled a 20 on the concussive test. you did hit though, and you did do a lot of wounds.
also, I'd say thats the end of the scene, so there's that for everyone who needs to track that

"That's what ye get! Come back and I'll do ye much worse!" The short dorfling shouts, shaking her fist at the fleeing mongrel. Once it's fled from sight, she rests her hammer back into a comfortable carrying position and takes stock of the team. "Everyone feelin' alright? Can any of ye still hear? Iris? Noelle? Tohyo?"
She's not so concerned with Braun, figuring he has something in all that armor to dampen noise, or some such like that.

Iris lets out an odd whimper as the mutts flee, trying to massage the ringing out of her ears... and giving Noelle a watery glare all the while, clearly displeased with this turn of events. Mora, of course, she can't hear over that ringing, not that she's terribly concerned with the half-dwarf's status.
You, however... She focuses her will on the reindeer, hoping dearly that she was suffering the same, if only to justify not wanting to speak words that might come out slurred and with the wrong emphasis while she can't hear herself. You suck, reindeer. That was terrible.

Noelle can only shrug with an uneasy smile in response to Iris glaring at her. She's seen that expression many times before, mainly in upset kids of nobility back in Gallia. It's best not to say anything for now and simply stand in the sidelines, but the Tiefling feels like she should put up at least a token effort at placating the cyclops. She slings her Lasgun over her back again and awkwardly paces over to the one-eyed girl to...give her an awkward hug. Resisting her minor derangement: 22 (success)
...yay assertiveness?

CON save against Deafen TN 15 [9, 6, 4, 1] = 20 " What have I gotten myself into...?"
Von thought to himself as he watched the bizarre display between his, now very agitated, squad mates, moving his jaw in a yawning motion to pop the discomfort out of his ears. Thankfully, his suits Sensor Systems were set to visual stimuli rather then auditory but damn that was loud. Hoping that the noise hasn't attracted anymore potential problems, Von once again activates the Sensor Systems to locate any nearby life signs while his " coworkers" bicker. Vons HUD lights up with the machine spirits text as it prepares the suits functions, ACTIVATING SENSOR SYSTEMS ARRAY... ACTIVATE INFRRED MODE... SCANNING... PLEASE HOLD... Perception Test(specialization: Spot) 7k3 + 1k0 (Suit feature) + 1k0 (AI Aid Another action) + 10 (adv. sensor system bonus) = 9k3+10 Results: [10, 9, 9, 8, 5, 5, 5, 4, 3], [10], [10], [5] + 10 = [35, 9, 9]+10 = 63

There's no need to be upset In fact he should even be thankful that they got away with just banshees howling, the crude of memories of being sent flying in the air or into a catatonic state were a reminder of how the powers of the warp were never truly wielded, only borrowed. That said Tohyo considered that maybe he should consider taking the damn sorcerers test to prevent these kind of things from happening Anyway, dogs have scurried and he can't hear a damn thing, but it seems no one is hurt and in fact the two girls are sharing a hug in celebration. In fact he should also thank the half dwarf for how she saved him, so while he waited for his ears to stop ringing he walked to her and patted the head of Mora with one hand and did a thumbs up with the other "Oh right, I should put up my enhanced vision again"- he though - "Vision of light opens beyond, geiser eyes" Fettered casting of Geiser Eyes once again [10, 4, 1], [8] Result: 23
Once he recovered his hearing he wasted no time "Alright, delightful work everyone, but we should get moving, the silent approach won't work anymore so we'll go instead with trying to get to the point as fast as we can."
He oppened his dataslate and started to go directly towards the point marked on the map. As rude as walking ahead seemed he knew that the rest of the party would catch up, they always do... Oh well, worst case scenario he could start blinking to keep up."

Poor shooting. Ringing ears. And worse yet, physical contact.
Granted, her defensive shell lights up to prevent most of that, but still. Indignity.
Iris locks up for a second before shoving Noelle away and scrambling backward, babbling something barely coherent touching on the subject of an overweight pallet of emergency rations, and dragging her scout rifle on its strap for about a meter before thinking to actually pick it back up. Then, after a moment more of glaring at the reindeer, she turns stiffly to follow after Tohyo, swiping her free hand under her eye.

Ah right, that's also another reaction typical of noble kids, something about pride and appearances. Noelle can count the few who acts their age on one hand. She is a bit glad she didn't get many babysitting jobs. While waiting for her hearing to return, which shouldn't be long, she slowly paces around the group and follows their lead on wherever the objective is.
