Stake out

[Dagwood 680]

This might be a long one:

Background:

Yesterday a buddy (hero) and I were south west of stary-ish on our way to zub castle to the east. We'd just logged in so we were just sort of meandering through the woods. Suddenly I spot a helo crash and a bandit and ghillie killing infected around it with what sounded like a Winnie.

So of course I pull out my m24, zero to 500 meters and take a shot: hits the ghillie in the torso and the two of them run east ish over a low rise and are out of sight.

Set up:

My target (harmonica) begins trash talking me in side chat and telling me how terrible I am for not being able to headshot a stationary target at 500 meters. While I do a bit of snobbish trolling in response, we head eastward (on a heading that would take us just south of zub castle). We find a Huey on our way that only needs engine parts.

We decide to head north east to attempt to locate engine parts. As we begin the ascent toward the castle, we spot a few dead infected corpses. Once we reach the south western retaining wall near the gatehouse, I hear voices in direct chat. He is laughing about how my buddy and I (same clan tag) are a clan and were still unable to kill them.

At this point Aaron and I are both shaking with sweaty hands; anticipating the sweet, sweet punishment we would administer upon these two (Silence and Harmonica).

The stakeout:

So after making a lot of threats in his direction over side chat, him telling us to meet him at the castle (which he informed me he was well over a mile south of) and me telling him he was an idiot to think I would actually go to a place he'd announced over sidechat, I told him I was gathering engine parts on the east coast for a heli I had found (I would say we had been lying in wait for 15-25 minutes. With the adrenaline it's hard to say now.)

Immediately after I sent this blatant lie over sidechat, his buddy exclaims over direct, "they must have found that help south east of here. Lets go f**k it up so he can come back and find it all messed up."

What I haven't mentioned yet is that I was equipped with an m4hologl an had 2 HE rounds on my person.

"Let's go out one by one just in case somebody is outside." I see movement at the top of the doorway as 2 sets of legs move right to left on the landing opposite the door.

I tap F twice and lob an m203 through the doorway and am rewarded with:

Harmonica was killed.

I reload and quickly hammer a :) into side chat. I fire off a second round:

Silence was killed.

The complaining and accusations of bad sportsmanship (because i tricked them?) that ensued nearly brought tears to my eyes. I'd told him that I was going to smash a frag through his teeth and done just that.

Aftermath: between the two of them they had an m14, l85 holo, fal, and Winchester. The 3 antis in the survival acu were nice too.

One of the more exciting encounters with bandits/hostiles I have had in a long time.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Hopefully harmonica and silence will see my shameless gloating. One can hope.
