Turn 1
With the grenade in play, suddenly the world moves in a slow motion whirl of panic. Kitaro drops the cart a couple centimeters to the ground with a thump and throws up a protective spell on Sun as he dives out of the way.
Torpor fires off a shot around Sun that ends up hitting the desk near the guard then also runs up the stairs along with Emiko and Sam.
Sun, being ever the hero, doesn't run. Instead he hops onto the grenade and attempts to contain the blast with all his dwarven constitution. The blast goes off, lifting him a few inches off the ground in the process, but otherwise shielding everyone in the area from harm. One would expect the dwarf to be reduced to chunky flesh salsa, but in this particular match it appears to be dwarven constitution 1, grenades 0. Sun is bruised and battered, but otherwise fine. ((8S damage))
The guard opens fire through the door where luckily Sun is currently prone and behind a desk, so he isn't currently caught in the spray. Emiko however is caught in it as she pokes her head out to fire a shot at the guard. Dodging in between bullets, she's caught in the shoulder by the spray, but luckily her armor catches most of it ((3 stun damage)). Even more luckily, she manages to fire off an incredible shot that actually hits the guard, despite the incoming gunfire, desk cover, and her meager shooting skills. The guard shakes under the electric shock, but continues firing.
Incredibly, Sun gets onto his feet with an impressive kip up, then flips over the desk, slides down the remains of the door hanging on the other side, rolls across the ground, does another flip over the desk the guard is firing from and lands right on top of the guard, all while apparently avoiding the incoming gunfire. He only "apparently" avoids the gunfire though. In reality, he actually is hit by the bullets, but completely doesn't notice in his adrenal surge to get at the guard. The guard however is less capable of ignoring the incoming ham fist of Sun and is totally floored by the dwarf's hulking punch. The guard does not get up after that.
Sun is about to stand up and give a thumbs up to the others when the roar of gunfire sends chips of desk all over him. From his new vantage point he can see another turret like the one before. Clearly it is meant to shoot at either the elevator or front door so it was not within his line of sight from the stairwell. It is now though!
