Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Neon Dream

[ X ] Fuck letting people die. Split up, hit both locations. (1.2x. Pick how many people are going where, and where you're going personally)
->[ X ] The Research Lab's just dudes, nothing impressive. The squad can take care of that. You're going to take this vampire motherfucker down personally. (+.2x. The entire squad hits the Research Lab, you get to go womano-a-mano with a weird magic vampire.)

Right, lets do this. Here's hoping we finish off these guys quick enough to knock out the Magic Circle..... Nope, can't even say it with a straight face. We're gonna see that circle completed.

...Havocfett, you motherfucker.

It's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!

No, seriously. Weird-ass vampire that drains blood through his fingers. The Green Djinn is probably a Stand. The pillar and weird roots. The very name 'Neon Dream'. And Havoc's noted liking for AWAKEN MY MASTERS!

-[X] Four Commandos to Research Room, Us + Two Commandos to Vampire

Okay, guys. I seriously do not feel like facing down a JJBA vampire alone, and even beyond that, the ritual to free what is in all likelihood a pillarman (or god forbid, pillarmen, plural), is going to finish up before we can stop it. Grouping up will mean we can get through this faster.

We'll know for certain as soon as we engage the vampire. If it shoots pressured spinal fluid from its eyes. . .

Well, I just hope we brought our steel balls with us.

If the troops are done before we are, they can go ahead and try to stop the ritual.

You thought it would be Shadowruns, but it was I, JOJO!

More seriously, the vote is reasonably conclusive, soooo

Stunt stealthing up to the armory/ambushing the vampire.

Roll 14d10 to stealth up to or Ambush the vampire.

You can stunt the other commandos attacking the research lab, which would be greatly appreciated by yours truly.

Vampires are kind of motherfuckers to deal with. In most circumstances you have to destroy their brains to kill them permanently. However, sunlight will kill them permanently, Ultraviolet Light will kill deal aggravated health levels every turn, depending on how much you hit them with, and fire will, at the least, hurt like a motherfucker. In addition, a wound dealt with Ripple Energy is invariably fatal to a vampire, Ripple Energy based attacks deal agg damage to vampires, and these wounds fester, dealing damage every turn until the vampire dies or amputates the relevant limb. The SWF has been utilizing UV Light Emitters since the late 1930s to combat the threat of Vampires with some efficiency, and they remain mankind's most consistently useful weapons against the creatures.

Combat with Vampires is not to be taken lightly, as they all are superhumanly strong and durable and have a variety of dangerous powers, including their ability to suck vital fluids from a victim via their extremities (Normally their fingers or mouth), turn victims into fanatically loyal man-eating zombies, and fire hyper-pressurized, armor-piercing spinal fluid from their eyes at truly ludicrous velocities. If possible, combat with a vampire should be left to an augmented commando or experienced Ripple user, especially if the vampire exhibits a unique ability, as some have in the past.

Mechanically: Vampires all have the Undying augmentation, meaning you've got to really thoroughly destroy their corpse or else they're going to pull themselves together. They have, at the very least, a dot of M-Strength and M-Stamina, and they probably have another M-Attribute or two at 1. Their M-Attributes do not rise above 3. They've all got a modified version of Q-Vamp, Quantum Bolt, and a plentiful Quantum Pool, and more experienced vampires tend to have unique abilities. Exposure to sunlight for a turn kills a vampire instantly (They can, of course, wear full body armor to protect against this), exposure to UV-Light does 4-12 Aggravated Levels of Damage every turn, depending on the strength of the source.

As most Monstrosities, Vampires cannot use Anticipation.

Also, keeping in mind that you need to pierce the Vampire's armor to shower it in GLORIOUS ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

How Do You Plan on Attacking This Guy?

...Goddamnit, I just realized that SWF stands for Speed Wagon Foundation. I'd been wondering what it stood for. And Jojo totally does have cyborgs, and...

Man. You got us good, Havoc. I wouldn't have seen it if not for the vampire sucking blood through his fingers. Because there's only one series that has those kind of vampires.

Edit: ...Robert Edward O. Speedwagon. Roberta.

Damnit Havoc.

Also, Grenading a Vampire or even shredding it with machine gun fire is pretty much useless.
 
Alrighty, tactics.

First off, use AP and incendiary ammo. Alternating feed if we can, or just an AP-loaded magazine first up if we can't. AP will crack his armor and incendiaries will set him on fire. Ordinary bullets aren't going to do much to this guy.

Kick it off by hurling a nice satchel charge at his fucking face, follow it up by shooting him in the face, then detonate the charge when he tries to react and get his bearings.

I'm unsure of Roberta's comparative abilities in melee combat, given my lack of knowledge of the mechanics we're using, but given high numbers = good, I get the feeling her sheet is saying she's hellmurder. We probably don't have to bend over backwards to avoid melee, but our main weapon is our machinegun and, more specifically, the UV-light mounted on it. Keep enough space to use it.

DID SOMEONE SAY SPEEDWAGON?
 
Also: We need to figure out what the heck that dehydration trick was. Worst case scenario, we're facing a vampire with a Stand, which is just plain going to suck.
 
Roberta's body moves on autopilot, already slotting in a transmitter into a USB port and hacking the security system. Meanwhile, she watches the screens. Watches the vampire claim a victim. Watches him torture his prisoners.

Fangdick isn't even trying, whatever he's doing. He's in no hurry, he's acting casual, he's making a show of it, the sadistic bastard.

Roberta will be happy to return the favor, with interest, at several hundred rounds-per-minute.

"Take the research lab." The command is clipped and terse, but she doesn't need any more than that and neither do they. They don't even so much as nod; everyone simply launches into a sprint, a perfectly engineered machine of violence, rushing down their separate paths.

As she races down the corridors, running on walls where needed to keep up her momantum around corners, she brings up the armory camera feed. She frowns at the light distortions- whatever fucked with the scans must be doing the same to the wireless- but it's more than enough to see Fangdick taunting the prisoners, lip-reading him ranting about bread or some nonsense. And that he hasn't bothered to redeploy the hand-armor. Careless.

The door disintegrates in a shower of splinters as Roberta hurtles through the frame. One hand flings a satchel charge at speeds that snap the current fastball record in half, the other already training the machinegun on Fangdick. The UV-emitter flicks on, scalding his unprotected hands, as the high-caliber machinegun its attached to roars with alternating AP-Incendiary ammo feed.

And Roberta Speedwagon is not afraid.
