The wounded man is in shock, but Brass is able to secure the tourniquet and stabilize his injuries. The unarmed younger man, teenager really, whimpers and hides his head. When questioned by Connington about the machinegun, he looks up and up the hill behind you, just as a flare lights up the night sky.
Alexios approaches the boat as the flare lights up the sky. He sees that it is beached and has a couple of bullet holes through the bridge area. He dives for cover behind some rocks on the beach, as a man climbs on top of the boat's bridge area rapidly, the rifle slung on his shoulder clanging against the metal rungs of the ladder.
After firing the flare, and seeing the other pirate climbing up the ladder, Harry will drop the flare gun from his left hand and raise his Weebly in his right effecting a sideways stance and clasping the weapon in both hands to steady it.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that he has a distinct advantage as the man's rifle is slung and he is stepping off the top of a ladder (onto the bridge), Harry will take a quick bead on his target as he loudly shouts:
"Pare! Alto! STOP!"
Intentions for Dr. Lloyd:
Having challenged the man, if he attempts to move, un-sling his rifle, or makes any other threatening move, Harry will fire his huge revolver and then dive for cover. If he does cooperate, then Harry will call out Alexios to do the talking (as saying "Stop!" or the odd word here and there is Harry's current limit for Portuguese...)...
Thinking about the best way to get the boat of the beach, and whether or not the engine is working the appearance of the flare and the “third” man causes an oath out of him. Diving behind the nearest cover, he thinks I thought this was too easy.
ReplyDeletePeeking over the rocks, trying to located the man on the boat in the eerie flickering light of the flare, Alexios brings his rifle to bear. Taking careful aim he will fire.
Blinking in the sudden dragon flame of the muzzle blast, Alexios seeks out his adversary.
Connington will finish binding the captive and move away from the fire, into a position of cover where he can observe any approach from the hill. The captive had looked that way, presumably for help, and he wants to be ready if the 'cavalry' comes. He trusts the others to do their job of clearing the boat.
