It's better to retreat and keep some distance from each other, because the rockets can hit everyone at once.

Oh, come on, another first post on the page.)

Okay, lets do this!

I think it will affect everyone at once anyway. But yes, you're right.

True, Revan says it's about 10 minutes to the forest as well. We really picked a bad spot. )

I told you I wouldn't even have time to use all the stimulants, lol.
As the last expedition showed, five of them are more than enough for the short lifespan of our heroes.

In short, think up some new characters, just in case. :)

Then we're all doomed, ha-ha. But we could have just taken the road.

Fixed it, you're welcome.
I don't know where you saw a rocket launcher, guys, I have a grenade launcher. Don't overthink it, just blast away at the glass with everything you've got. Or hack it with your phone so it loses control and explodes.

Okay, so the main problem is with Locke and whoever else is slow. I see two options: just blast them with a rocket launcher and other weapons – that’s one. Two – I would try to break a window (not the windshield) and launch Heroist with a backpack inside. Heroist should, if possible, cover the pilot and bring the ship down, then I can join in as well. We can combine the first and second options; Locke has less initiative than Heroist, right? Or not?

Do you think it won’t work?

It will work if he is thirty meters above the ground.

Ramzanka fires vertically from the "Abyss", takes cover, and rolls between cover points if rockets are fired at him. If no rockets are fired, he doesn't do that.

"And why am I not surprised by the guests?"
With this thought, Zutter took out his rifle and fired three shots at the flying machine. He tried to aim at relatively vulnerable spots: glass and the like. Then he ran towards the forest, using a zigzag pattern and a teleportation device (spending 4 Action Points on this) and tried to take cover behind trees or (if he doesn't make it) behind some other obstacles.

Shooting at such a behemoth was pointless, so the trio ran towards the forest, taking cover as much as possible.

The appearance of the enemy helicopter wasn't a complete surprise to Wenling, but it certainly wasn't a pleasant one either. Looking around, the girl realized that she had nowhere to run; she was too far from the forest or the ravine. Nearby, that strange Ernst somehow managed to withstand the machine-gun fire, dodge the shells, fire a few shots from his rifle, and then ran towards the edge of the forest. Wenling was about to use her jetpack and try to avoid the attack along with everyone else, but at the last second, she changed her mind and stopped. The battle in the Yangtze Empire flashed before the girl's eyes, a battle whose outcome was also predetermined due to a rocket barrage. "So, this terrible nightmare is repeating itself? Well, let it be." Run? Hide again, retreat, abandoning her friends and trying to save herself, fighting with all her might for her life? Let the others do that. She was tired of it.
Wenling used a combat stimulant, the "Invincible" stimulant, and armor-piercing bullets, and then attacked the helicopter with her assault rifle, aiming for the windshield and the pilot whenever possible.
"I hope he gets distracted and spends at least a couple of machine-gun bursts and rockets on me; that will be more than enough. Maybe Ramsan will then be able to shoot down this devilish machine. If I am destined to die today, I will do it as a warrior should, on the battlefield, and not hiding in the bushes, waiting for death. I'm sure Zedong will forgive me for that... We never got to see each other. I wonder how his mission in the empire is going? He's probably preparing to carry out his revenge plan right now. And I never wished him good luck; what a regrettable oversight..."

the shotgun won't reach the helicopter, and the pistols won't penetrate!

The SVVP lost its balance and crashed somewhere else in the mountain range.
During the rocket barrage, the gorge collapsed just as Irene and Mara were running through it. They miraculously survived, but there was no way for them to return. Mara's jetpack malfunctioned. After a while, everyone else (except Wenling and Ramzan) safely reached the forest.

Jerrod -1 buckshot, Zuter -9 assault rifle rounds, Ramzan -5 rockets, Wenling -5 assault rifle rounds (for me, I'll update later).

- Damn it! - Mara cursed, dodging falling rocks. When everything was over, she sat down to catch her breath and inspect her backpack for damage. If possible, she tries to repair it or find suitable parts among the wreckage of the helicopter.
