Brian:
Bri can see a entrance to an alleyway in his peripheral vision. How long it is and where it leads is unknown to him but they are far from docks so a seawall is unlikely.
Backing away defensively keeps the beast at bay and he even manages to give it a few deep scratches on it's jaw and foreleg. Brian senses his steps taking him towards the alley entrance amid the ducking and dodging.

Done. Now there's just the wait.

OOC: I utilize the Wounds in my Strategy as I make my way towards the Alleyway and look what I can improvise when I get there. I start to think about this like a Boar hunt (minus the dogs) Or Badger Hunts (also sans Dogs) And try to work in similar strategies

Brian:
[ooc: I know nothing about boar or badger hunting so I don't know what you are referring too. Luckily, in this case, it won't be necessary to know.]
Brian's plan works as expected and the beast is lured towards the alley. Suddenly, it jumps as if poked by a very large, very sharp pin. It turns to chase something along the street running away from Brian but not before he strikes a long gash into its side.
[ooc: How about joining Lor's thread?]

[OOC: that may be a blending of the notions of "death by a thousand paper-cuts" and "general pack hunting" where the victim never knows which direction the next bite is coming from, thus becoming an ineffective defender.]

Hammett:
The waiting is the hardest part. An interesting occurrence breaks up the monotony: the sounds of air-raid sirens and anti-aircraft fire. It appears that the Yanks are finally coming to Kasaba.
[OOC:: The Yankees, not Americans. On this Earth, the US civil war ended in a stalemate. Years later, the south was annexed by Mexico along with the southwest. The lands west of the Mississippi were claimed by the British Empire, which conglomerated them into Colombia. It has long been at war with Canada since both achieved independence. Much of Atlantic Canada joined with the Union Yankees in exchange for Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It's messed up. The southerners are now just called Mexicans like all the other citizens. Union Yankees are the common name for those in the northern states. :: end pointless fake history lesson on why people are calling the American's Yanks in this shadow.]

Hammett is on the radio, and to his people close by, "Alright everyone, get ready."
It is also about now that Brain's saboteurs should be detonating their explosives.

Hammett and his team wait for the attack to begin, then start to carry out their plan.

They hear the sounds of bombs falling and explosions happening. A struck plane crashes across the street with a deafening explosion.
What's the plan again?

The plan is to start taking out German positions from behind since they are now all focused on the Yankee attacks coming from the front. Hopefully quickly taking out each position we come across and moving on to the next. Take out as many as we can to make the Yankee landing easier and quicker.
In some situations it might be a simple and quick as coming across an anti-air gun position, then just throwing in a few grenades to take out the gun and gunners, and then keep moving on barely stopping.
Basically sowing as much discord and destruction as we can to the German defenses, especially near the docks, as we can. Once the alert is out though we will all retreat to safety and wait out the landing, helping as much as we can while not getting caught in the crossfire.
If we can establish radio communication with the Yankees we will try and assist as they need.

Portions of the city burn as hit or miss targets and ignite and damaged planes crash into buildings. Behind the hills of the city where the industrial areas are along with airport, train station, and roads out of the city, all burn bright, a crescent of fire bounding the city between fire and water.
"Thanks for the assist, good buddy," Hammett hears from the radio. "Eagles are in flight so watch out for their droppings."
Hammett and his crew begin their mission and have some success but between bomb and flame, friendly fire from the Resistence, German resistance, and shells from the great guns of the Yankee ships, he is separated from most of his crew and many of them are killed.
In the lee of an embankment he bleeds with Carlos and Pinky. The woman bleeds from many wounds and one of her arms hangs useless. Before this she had notched over a dozen kills.

[[OCC: OUCH. This wasn't supposed to be a suicide mission, only helping out as much as safely possible. As soon as the first of his team started getting injured they would have stopped and taken to cover in the tunnels. If events looked too dangerous he would have trumped his teams out. After all, he needs people to run Wormwood's when this all over, and that is the most important thing.]]

[Ooc: war is dangerous and people get separated in the fighting and darkness.. Also stuff (people) you spent points on are replaceable, just give em a bunch of new names. Except Pinky, she is irreplaceable.]
So where does Hammett and his survivors get to?

[[OOC: All good. Just didn't know we'd moved from Casablanca to Saving Private Ryan. haha.]]
Hammett pulls Pinky and Carlos close and uses his new eye "deck" to trump all of them through to safety in Ceridin. Once through his main concern is that Pinky gets immediate medical attention.
After that he trumps Ugarte who was with the other team, and if he can reach him, brings him and anyone with him through to Ceridin.
Hammett knows that Renault should be safe, he made the police chief take shelter early on as he would need to be the new leader of Kasaba until order could be re-established, but he trumps him as well, just to be sure.
After all of that he quickly resupplies and then trumps back to Kasaba. He still needed to find Dalt, and it would probably be good to help out Brian, Lorelei and Lady Shelley if any of them were still alive.
[[EDIT OCC: Given Lady Shelley's injury and lack of desire to be involved I assume she might have opted to stay with Renault in safety until the fighting was over.]]

[Ooc: Shelly wouldn't leave Kasaba for Ceredin for any reason if she had the power to resist. ]
Renault is in their hiding place with a candle lit on a table and a bottle of fine wine he is sharing with Shelly.
"Bad timing, Hammett. It would have been a shame to lose this bottle in the fighting and I have just poured the last of it for our guest and me," he says. "How goes the battle?"
