*bzt*"Enough."*bzt*
Von stomped his foot for emphasis.
*bzt*"Unless someone has a different plan to suggest, Tohyo's plan seems to be sound enough to me."*bzt* *bzt*"Now, im going on ahead and I'll radio if I notice anything. Whatever it is ya decide to do, make sure to at least do it properly."*bzt*
Von crosses his arms.
*bzt*"That sound good? Great!"*bzt*
Not waiting for anymore protests, Von turns his back to the rest of the troupe and makes his way to the area of the map Tohyo mentioned.
*Vrrr* *Thud*
*Vrrr* *Thud*
*Vrrr* *Thud*

Marching into the park, Von Braun & Tohyo start to see faint flashes of red up in the distance, followed by a loud roar...the same roar the group heard before... Braun and Yohyo, gimmie a common lore roll if you please. Everyone else is too far away to see the flashes.

Coming to a complete stop, Von activates the suits sensors. Keeping his armored finger on the trigger of his bolter. ACTIVATING SENSOR SYSTEM ARRAY... INITIATING INFRARED VISION... PROCESSING. PLEASE HOLD... Von will do a Perception (spot) test. 7k3 + 1k0 (AI Aid) + 1k0 (suit feature) + 10 (adv. sensor)= 9k3+10 [8, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1] + 10 = 29 Re-roll 1's [10, 6] [16, 8, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2] + 10 = 40

Common lore roll [7, 7, 5] Result: 19 Yep, a lasgun fight, seems like a group of people ahead is fighting beasts, could very well be the survey crew that carried the artifact, but even if they were the contract didn't say anything about rescuing them, only the artifact "Von, do you want to go and help or should we stay back and hope they clean each other? I'll trust your experience on this"Meanwhile, since the situation had changed, he decided to send a mesage to the ones left behind "Phantom voice and distant hearing, whisper" Casting whisper spell to send a message to Noelle
[10, 10, 5, 3, 3, 1, 1], [9, 3] Result 30 Phenomena roll: 2+5=7
"Fight started, come to us now"

Yeah, those are definitely lasgun shots. The curious thing though, is that they aren't coming from ground level, but rather an elevated position to the northwest, firing down at something due cardinal west. the same direction that roar came from. Its fuzzy from this distance, but its some kind of giant creature that keeps peeking up out of what seems to be a defunct but still filled wavepool.
seems a good time to roll initiative

"I expect you to hit your next shot" Well, that's a level of condescension Iris didn't need to be on the receiving end of. She gapes a bit, eye twitching, not quite able to sort out her thoughts enough to give a furious rejoinder... and finally stalks off in the indicated direction, securing the unfamiliar rifle to her back rather than bother carrying it in hand now. Not her best performance, but then, she wasn't sure anybody really cared about that, now. Her defensive shell shimmers back into existence, lensing the diffuse light around her again as she plunges into the fog.

Holding position, Von radio's his findings to Tohyo.
*bzt*"Whatever is making that roar seems to be in a giant swimming pool."*bzt*
*bzt*"Which probably means that it cant get use on land... hopefully."*bzt*
*bzt*"As for the guys fighting the beasty, they appear to be in an elevated position far enough away from it. So I think they're safe."*bzt*
Not wanting to waste anymore time with the local fauna then he already has, Von waits for the rest to catch up all the while continuing to watch the battle between the mercs and the creature swimming in the goopy muck of the pool. "Whoever wins, I hope it wont be a problem for us" Von thought to himself.

Upon hearing the signal, Noelle runs out of the cover at a full sprint, stopping just two meters away from Von Braun (but not behind him). "I got your message! What should...oh." Run action

The monster seems distracted with the mercs shooting at it, making an ungodly snarling noise before coughing a glowing yellow goo up at the slide platform they're standing on, melting part of the railing before the monster dips back down underwater

Iris continues toward the assigned ambush point as she'd been directed, some one hundred meters toward the ass end away from everything, and not particularly caring if her own supposed comrades are following her. But she moves a bit slower, an idea occurring to her... if she'd been told to move clear of the actual fighting, maybe she could put her eye to use searching out the artifact they'd been sent to retrieve? She nods to herself, steadying her defensive shell as she slows down to study her surroundings as she moves. Supposed to still be in the area... any luck, and I can grab the thing and bug out before it's missed. Moving toward assigned ambush zone.
Perception: [8,7,7,6,6,2] = 28

scanning the building ruins around here doesn't yield anything, but then she hears something; one of the mercs shooting at the beast yells out the phrase 'Ad victoriam' in an extremely gravely voice, and the brief attention-taking from that causes her to spot something...strange. The air up in that slide-tower, unlike everywhere else she looks, is oddly clean-looking, and there is a faint blue light glowing up there.

Just as she’s about to take off running alongside Noelle, Mora notices Iris trudging off on her own and begins to wonder if something’s the matter. Tohyo and Braun haven’t been the nicest to her so far, after all. A young lass like her can only be expected to endure so much, no matter the danger of the current situation.
Speaking of, this is an active combat zone. They might not be near the action, but who knows what else might be skulking about, ready to make the first move against a perceived threat. It would be entirely irresponsible to let her out of sight. And so Mora won’t, marching after Iris to ensure she’s safe, keeping eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary. Following after Iris (also, 1 Oro regained at combat start) Perception: 23, 9, 5, 4, 4 = 37

Mora too would hear the same shout, but a level-er head yields a closer look, and she would notice something strange about these mercs. They have scaly skins, and somehow the bastards are up and not wearing any sort of mist-protection but are perfectly fine.
