Night Owl had found himself a good spot overlooking the valley and was now casually leaning back against a rock helping himself to another bottle of Nuka Cola.
"It's going to be a long day tomorrow," he muttered as his eyes searched over the valley. He had a reasonably safe position, the others could be in a lot of danger when the plan kicked in the morning.
Dead Eye found a Postion directly Across from Night Owl. He could see the entire canyon so this was a great spot and he and Owl could communicate just in case.
"I've got a bad bad feeling about this."
He said with a deep sigh as he layed down for a few hours of sleep.
Knox stretches and yawns and gives a look back at the shack.
"Well, if it's all the same to you guys...I'mma go back to bed. Jus' wake me us up when you need us."

Ethan lay his head on a bundle of clothing on the softest part of the floor he could find. After years of wandering the wastes four walls and a roof was a luxury. He needed the sleep to get ready for the ordeal of the upcoming day. Deathclaws weren't easy targets by themselves, the only hope they had for tomorrow was that the plan held water.
-----Time Passes-----
The grenades were strung together coming to resemble a bundle of pineapples Ethan and Lucius each were given a set of five proximity mines, that they would be spreading about two yards away from their running path. Ethan handed the grenades to the fighting team and briefly instructed them on how to use them. Essentially, "when we go past you, pull this chord, don't, I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT pull the pins before then."
Helen was loaded for Yao Guai, her supply of grenades had been reduced, but she still had several strapped around her belt. In addition to a bandoleer of 5.56 mm ammo wrapped around the metal armor she was wearing. Enough firepower that she could empty ammo into the deathclaws for five full minutes before running out. She walked towards the other end of the valley, ready to come running when she heard Ethan and Lucius shouting and shots firing.
Night Owl and Dead Eye were in the positions they had taken earlier. A quick burst of radio chatter confirmed that they had a fantastic view of the valley, and would be able to shoot any deathclaws that were causing problems, with a view of both the center of the valley with the blinking light, the nests surrounding it, and the rock passage where the team would be waiting in ambush.
Alex, Marcus and Knox had all gone down to the valley passage, and had begun setting up the explosives that they had gotten earlier.
Ethan and Lucius had begun moving, as silently as possible over to the deathclaw nests, intending to get as close as possible before breaking some eggs.
In trying to figure out how SPECIAL stats would work in a text-based RP I've hit upon a few ideas.
Strength: In addition to determine what armor you can wear. Strength determines what weapons you can carry and how many 5 or less means you can have two small guns. 6-7 means 3, 8-9 means 4, 10 means you can carry 4 weapons. And big guns count as two small weapons.
PECIA: I'm not sure yet. still factors into writing, but nothing special or specific yet.
Luck: Luck determines, basically, what you can get away with, God modding is a big problem with forum RPs, but if your luck is above 5 I'll pull out up random number generator in order to determine whether I'll let it slide. The higher your luck, the better the chance. The more absurd your actions, the worse.
Are you saying that your implementing this now? Because I don't support it. Marcus' low luck would mean that I can't even fight the death claws at all without dying based on that system.
KNox hefts a few bundles of dynamite into the cracks and crevices of the canyon that they were in.
"Anyone else getting the feeling that this'll end badly?"
Night Owl had not moved since last night, the only thing that had changed during the night was the increasing number of empty Nuka Cola bottles that were scattered around him. He peered down at the lumbering Death Claws, ready to fire on them the moment the action started.
"All this for a computer chip? Always knew Mr House was one for drama." Night Owl laughed and kept staring into the valley, things would begin soon.
As Dead Eye woke up at dawn he surveyed the canyon. He looked around the nest and noticed the glint of something shiny in an egg cluster. He yelled to the group
"Guys I might have located the chip. The bad news, the mother is standing directly on top of it."
Ethan and Lucius made their way across the wasteland plain, as stealthy as they are able. Along the way they dropped mines across the path they were going to run, creating a safe corridor surrounded by death and explosions. When they came within visual range of the deathclaws they briefly held back, mustering their courage. As they came closer the deathclaws seemed be avoiding the smell of the chemicals they were wearing, and fortunately the pack mother and alpha male were on the other side of the nests.
When Ethan and Lucius got to the eggs they each fired off a shot, smashed some eggs, and ran like hell down the corridor of mines. The deathclaws immediately changed their minds about avoiding the two and gave chase. The entire pack ran after the pair, but due to their numbers they could not run in a tight enough group to avoid the explosives. several were killed by the mines others were crippled by the nearby explosions. But unfortunately for everyone the pack Alpha and mother were in the rear, safe from the explosions.
As Ethan and Lucius ran past the group with a dozen fit and healthy deathclaws coming after them Knox and Alex pulled the string attached to the grenades, and several more deathclaws died in the explosion, But Alex had set up his explosive set incorrectly, the rope had caught on the rock wall, as more deathclaws approached and several began moving into the tight, for them, passageway Alex in desperation pulled his laser rifle and shot the bomb a further explosion caught the advancing deathclaws from behind, cutting their numbers in half.
Behind the pack came running Helen, when she got within fifty yards she opened fire into the backs of the pack a few fell to her shots, but the Deathclaw mother and Alpha also held the flank, she emptied an entire clip of ammunition into them, but in their rage an Ethan and Lucius' actions they almost didn't seem to notice, lost in their single-minded determination to kill any who would dare harm their eggs.
Ethan had pulled out his revolver, shooting the hefty magnum ammunition into the faces of any deathclaws that got too close to him.
There are now 3 fully healthy deathclaws in the passageway, 3 more moving in. there are 8 wounded and crippled deathclaws scattered among their ranks. And behind them all are the pack leaders They are currently getting peppered with shots by Helen, but so far are simply shrugging them off
Marcus took advantage of the confusion and ran towards the pack. He fired his shotgun at two of them and then just when he got in range of their claws he slid in between them and came up on their backs. He fired again at them at close range,killing one and crippling the leg of another. The he turned for the pack leaders.
Okay, I'll just point this out here to avoid discussion later. Marcus is using 2 ballistic fists (Dmg: 85 each) and specializes in unarmed weaponry which makes it even stronger. Both the Death Claw Mother and Alpha have DT of 15 (lessened to about 10 when countered with specialization). They are both being shot at already and While the Mother has 500 HP the Alpha has 200. All of this combine means that Marcus could statistically take down the Alpha with 4 good punches and the Mother with 6. I am not saying that I'm going to kill them both single handedly. That would be stupid and obvious godmodding because they can still kill me quite easily as well. I am just pointing out that when Marcus starts throwing punches, it will have a significant effect. Wow, I sound like a D&D freak.
Alex got his laser rifle and aimed down those sights and the years of training instantly kicked in, he aimed, he fired, and he didn't stop shooting. In pure terror he watched only one go down from his barrage. He pulled out his trusty, battered, worn and rusty knife and quicked stuck a grenade to it and threw it right at the deathclaws. The deathclaws moved in and he fired, taking out two and severly damaging another. He ran backwards full speed and started taking brutally accurate shots which finished another. He also started calling targets for the two snipers.
