What kind of roadblock is it?
It's the four SUVs from the earlier motorcade. Two are on either shoulder and the other two make a \/-type wedge that blocks the road proper.
You've got two shooters poking their heads out of the sunroofs of the vehicles on the shoulders.
The truck Artis is in probably has enough torque to ram through, but most likely would not survive the impact. Need I mention the lack of seatbelts, airbags, and the (most likely) lack of safety glass in the windshield?
How about push through? Brake and slowly push my way through the roadblock with one hand firing my AK out the window for suppressive fire. No ramming, and if I could've rammed through pushing should be a bit easier.
Other options I'm thinking of include finding something to jump and/or simply going off-road.
Artis' ride now had two blown tires but is otherwise operational and free to continue down the road. You'll be at a -4 penalty to all driving checks from here on out.
The single tear was a nice touch. Now that I'm engaged, martial arts as best I can, action die to attack (adrenaliine rush carrying that over to defense as well.)
Post forthcoming. I was sidelined last night and this morning with seasonal allergies. Fortunately, I believed it was exorcised with Claritin, Starbucks, two Advil, and Chipotle's Green Tomatillo salsa.
The car probably will survive the trip. If it were made in the last 20 years, all the electronics would have crapped themselves by now. Fortunately, the jalopy was built in the good ole U of SSR. Pending a direct hit to the engine/drivetrain, you should be good for at least a few kms.
Here's my plan. Sam just ran out of minions. She's gonna have to personally move her daughter to the SUV, and when she's got her hands full I'm gonna waste her with a Sneak-Attackin' burst.
