The Horde

«Announcement from Death!» A faint sound can be heard to the east - like thunder, almost, a dull rumbling.

Viinikainen comes out from his office, stepping into his skiis at the same time. "Perkele" he mutters, there isn't just that many things a noise like that can mean.

Oskari looks around some, pausing to utter a soft cough before walking in the direction of Viinikainen. The young man has a look of pure perplextion, and seems to think Vii knows what's going on.

Topi comes walking out from the Iloinen Kukko, frowning a little as he hears the noise. He then uses a few more words than Viinikainen, all of them of the kind of words that probably wouldn't be used in polite company in any other country.

Coordinates : 29 4

This is (by local standards) a large border village situated within a kilometre of the Soviet Union. Here, a few two-story stone houses form a small village centre clustered around the large road leading to the border, with painted wooden houses strung between them, and radiating outwards from the road right to the edge of the forest alone or in small, scattered groups. The roofs are covered in snow, and broad paths have been shovelled to the outlying houses from the road.

This part of the village is marked by the border guard station to the east, with its sentry post - on the other side lies an empty stretch of no-man's land between the two borders.

It is currently dusk.

This is an arctic environment, with a temperature of -21 degrees Celsius.

Korhonen also comes out of the drinking establishment. Runs out of it, actually. The dull rumbling caught his attention even from inside the pub. His brow knits with faint recognition of the sound. He does not swear. He just looks grave.

Antti has arrived.
Antti arrives from the East.

Viinikainen slings his Suomi over the shoulder at the same time, "Move out people", he shouts, something that just doesn't happen very often, he shouts for a man standing on the street, giving him some quick instructions before direction at Korhonen. "Doctor, if you can, there's a cabin up north by the lake. We who stay behind might need you later. Grab anything you think might be useful."

Oskari nods solemly as he looks up. Looking around he waits for the order where to move out to, since apparently something very bad is about to happen.

With a swish of skis on ice, a uniformed Finn suddenly appears, heading into the town from the treeline as he was off the road. Like most uniformed Finns, he's rather young, a teenager, and apparently in something of a panic judging by his expression. He also knows something of the village, as he comes to a halt in from of Viinikainen's office.

Antti calls out, "Hey!" toward the others, "Whats going on?" His regard settles on Jari at last, waiting for some answer or order..either way.

Topi grins a little, as he hears that. Moving to get his skis, he double-checks his rifle, as he begins humming a bit. Looking over towards that uniformed guy for a few moments.

Korhonen turns to Viinikainen and nods quickly. "Of course, Jari. I shall prepare the place for…for what may happen." With that, he gets his skis on and gets into motion. His legs shake a little on them as he navigates the snow.

Korhonen has left.
Korhonen heads off North.

Oskari recognises the type of soldier and then groans softlly under his breath. Ducking back into the house he just emerged from he grabs his skis and a belt of ammunition before ducking back out and moving to attach his skis if needed.

Viinikainen looks at the boy skiing into town before calling out over his shoulder to Antti, "Get that big gun of yours ready, and set up somewhere good as quickly as possible. Maybe on the hill if there is time." He listens to the rumbling for another moment before turning his attention back at the soldier. "And grab all the ammo that you can carry."

The young man is indeed in quite the state, and a bit tired from the rush here, and now he's a bit closer his border guard uniform is more apparent. "The Russians are coming! Up the road!". He catches his breath. "All of them, I think… what are they doing /here/?".

Antti frowns at the answer- like many answers it leaves more questions than it answers, but Antti says nothing else, simply nodding and heading back at a steady run to retrieve the AT gun.
«Game» Antti wields his S-18 Solothurn!

"Invading us" Jari mutters at the soldier, "All of them is how much?" While waiting for an answer he raises his voice a bit again. "Anyone who can fight will have to help and try to slow them down."

«Game» The enemy is near… Oulu is now a war zone!

Topi snickers a little as he listens to the soldier boy. "Lots of people over there," he comments, before he looks over at the others, waiting to hear what to do. "That includes killing them all, right?" he offers.

Oskari just works as fast as he can to get ready, trying not to look at the guard before moving over by Jari. Then, and only then does he acknowledge the other soldier before looking back at Topi. "It would be the best course of action. Unless you wish to drink tea with them?" The words more teasing than anything.

"I didn't really stick around long enough to count!" the young lad admits. "Lots of vehicles, tanks, dozens of them!".

"You heard him", Jari raises his voice again, "We better be prepared to run if need be." He starts moving off north, although not leaving the village yet, watching the people clear out at the same time. "And once again, bring any ammo you can carry. And use your brains people."

Topi snickers a bit at Oskari, "Depends on what they mix in the tea," he comments. He then snickers a bit as he gets ready for what will come.
Oskari rolls his eyes at Topi and then shakes his head. Taking some time, he works on the sights of his rifle, making sure they're dialed in nicely and getting ready to move when ordered.

"Don't stay in the village to fight" Jari mutters to the people who are staying to fight. "You heard the boy, those tanks will roll right over us." He looks at the young soldier. "Better go wherever you were supposed to go after this."

The man nods, and prepares to ski off west. "I should alert anybody else further down the road, the next village along if I can make it.".

«Ground Combat» Antti fires his S-18 Solothurn at BA-6 but misses!

(From BA-6) Mikhail shakes his head in the car as a shot whines past. "Lay down your weapons and assist us, your brother workers!".

Viinikainen looks at the rather messed up Topi, "If you can, try to go to the doc. Else wait behind the hill for us." He kneels down next to Antti and the monster rifle.

«Ground Combat» Antti fires his S-18 Solothurn at BA-6 but misses!

Oskari just looks over at Antti. Dryly he says. "You missed" before turning his attention back on the road.

Markus continues to hide behind a few creates in an ally way watching the events unfold. Unsure of the situation, he seems to want to gather whats going on before doing anything that might get him killed.

Antti grits his teeth and swears as he tries to duck back out of sight…

«Ground Vehicles» BA-6 moves East <E>.

Antti swears rather colorfully, as he mutters, "It went back east.." Then, much more swearing ensues.

"Get out", Jari starts to drag Antti along when he gets shot up, or push more of, "Get out of here. No use to stay here."

«Ground Combat» Antti undeploys his S-18 Solothurn!

«Game» Viinikainen assists Antti!

Markus darts to the north avoidng the village behind him and the BA-6 that had rolled by so close he could have touched it. Still his nerves seem calm at the situation, a bit suprised and confused though.

Oskari nods slowly and then coughs some, the wracking catching him a second before he can speak. "Likely gone to report the resistance…"

Antti nods to Jari muttering in query, "Where we regrouping later?" He shoulders the heavy weight of the big gun and steps back into his skiis..

Topi ducks down behind something, shaking his head at Viinikainen, "I've had worse before," he offers, before he nods at that part about the getting out. Although he doesn't move yet.

From Forest, a female voice shouts, "What's going on? Where is everybody?".

Markus spots a group of villagers and makes his way in their direction. In a loud whisper he calls out, "Whats going on?" He quickly finds himself a position next to Antti who appears wounded. "WHere you hit?" he asks looking of the wounded individual.

"Cabin up north by the lake there." Jari explains to Antti, "Doc already on his way there." He looks at the others, "Anyone know how to use this, and dare to?" he nods at the AT rifle.

Oskari shakes his head, turning to watch east, expecting the enemy to flank them.

Antti nods once, shifting the Solothurn to sit better on his shoulder, waiting long enough only to hear if anyone else wants the monster.

Topi keeps his eyes towards the south for the moment, shaking his head at the AT rifle. "Don't need that one against animals," he offers.

Markus shakes his head as well not sure how to use the weapon. He does drop his ruck sack and reachs for a basic first aid kit. It was not something that would help a great deal with the injuries the man had suffered, but it was better then nothing. "Let me check out that head." Looking to the others that were armed he says, "Make sure we have 100%% security."

«Announcement from Death!»
Be renowned, our free Fatherland
Great Russia will be welded together!
Created by the will of the people
The united, mighty, Soviet Union!

Markus peels open the sealed package preventing the bandages from getting dirty. He disguards the packaging on the ground and begins to apply the large bandage to Antti's head to cover the injury. The tails of the bandage are then wrapped around twice and then tied over the bandage to create pressure of the injury. "This might hurt, so dont scream like a girl… alright?" He then tightens the bandage to keep it firmly in place.

Viinikainen gets up on his skiis again, "Anyone injured, get out now, I won't wait for you if we get overrun." Jari shows his most gentle side. "You" he points as Oskari, "Come with me" and he sets off east, not bothering to look if he really does so or not.

Oskari nods. "Yes sir." he says silently. It sounds like the armored car is back in the city…Perhaps, we could flank around them? Strike from their rear and move past?"

Viinikainen shakes his head at Oskari, "At least here the tanks can't drive up to us." He goes quiet as he hears the tank open up. "Let's wait here a little longer."

Oskari nods, settling back into his position.

Oskari doesn't speak much, his coughing slowing some as he waits. The snow providing a good bit of cover for him as he watches the road. Officers first, then soldiers.

Oskari mutters softly. "It's gone rather quiet. Which could be good…or ill."
Oskari whispers. "The men have fallen back. one is being targeted by the tank, the medic. Markus I think is his name."

"We're being invaded everywhere now, and most forces are south." Jari spits in the snow, "There's nothing good right now."

Oskari nods. "orders sir?" he asks, not even trying to fire on the soviet he sees to the west.
Viinikainen eyes the west too, "New chance for you, kill one then we move."

Meanwhile, where Oskari has fallen:

«Game» Andrei loots the body of Oskari

Oskari bleads on Andrei, because he can.

Andrei runs up to the fallen Finn.. no surgeon, not even a medic, Andrei sees the man lying still and bleeding, and thinks no further. Reaching down and picking up a small item he turns around and recieves a cheer from the men on the south road: he has taken the Finn's Puukko.

«Equipment» Andrei picks up Puukko.
«Equipment» Andrei picks up 80 x 7.62-54R .

Oskari's glazed eyes look up at Andrei. It's a look that says, "If I could reach you. I would hurt you."

Andrei chuckles, as he shouts back to his comrades on the road. Never so bold as when having won, the russian kicks a measure of bloody snow over the finn's body, before slogging through the snow back south..

Oskari inwardly hopes he infects Andrei and his comrades with TB. Sure, he's over it now, but a man can hope can't he?

Sonja has stopped skiing, and is waiting by a tree, catching her breath.

Viinikainen skiis in from the south, looking ever so happy. "What you doing here?" Not the best of places to get some rest.

[Public] +— Oskari says, "yeah. I think the first shot had me at You cannot move until the Armageddon Clock ticks another 278 times."

Sonja blinks at Viini. "Well, where am I supposed to go?" she asks, a bit defiantly, and peers at the south. "Where is my father???"

«Medic Code» Sonja looks you over!
Viinikainen points west, "There's a cabin by the lake, go west until you find it, then follow it north, he's there."

Sonja nods. "Alright… where are you going?" she asks, not going just yet.

"Same place, don't think there is many left behind me." Jari looks over his shoulder. "People not using their brains tends to die quickly."

Sonja nods… and shakes her head again, beginning to tremble a bit. But off she skis, picking up Henrik before she goes.

Viinikainen does the tracking, gentleman like he is.

And the tracker turns west.

Sonja follows along, being a less adept skiier, and being weighed down with a kid on top of that.

The tall pine trees are mostly scattered in small clusters around the area, and while there are some open spaces, smaller trees and bushes have laid claim to most of it.

Korhonen has set up a make-shift 'field clinic' in the cabin. Which, really, just consists of himself and some hastily-gathered drugs and first aid equipment. "Oskari?" He is surprised when he recognizes the man. "You are still recovering. You should not have been called to fight. Sit down. Where were you injured?"
«Ground Combat» Sonja moves into Cabin.

Oskari glowers over at Viinikainen, even though he does manage grunt. "Next time you, please don't shoot them and get them pissed off at me…" Looking over at the doc he nods some. "I rather found out the hard way that if you lie in the snow too long, it hurts." he states simply. "I'm fine. Grouchy, but fine."

«Ground Combat» Viinikainen moves into Cabin.

Sonja skis up, and at the cabin entrance steps out of her skis, propping them up against the wooden building, and then looking over Henrik, who is clutched in her arms, with great concern. Fortunately, the crying Henrik seems to be only emotionally hurt at the moment.

«Ground Combat» You notice Antti arrive at Grass.

Sonja skis up, and at the cabin entrance steps out of her skis, propping them up against the wooden building, and then looking over Henrik, who is clutched in her arms, with great concern. Fortunately, the crying Henrik seems to be only emotionally hurt at the moment. (for Antti's benefit)

«Ground Combat» Oskari moves into Cabin.

Viinikainen puts his skiis against the wall, and steps into the cabin. He stares at Oskari, quiet while he's talking, then he sits down and opens up his clothes before looking up at Oskari again. "One more, then we go. Not two more. One, learn to count boy."

Antti trudges northward on skiis, hunched over nearly double under the weight of the S-18, with his cold weather clothing opened to vent heat.. Still the frowning finn is sweating heavily, as he moves toward the cabin..

«Ground Combat» You notice Markus arrive at Grass.

Korhonen looks to Viinikainen rather than Oskari. "Does he need treatment? What is going on out there? I can see little from…Sonja!?" His daughter's appearance, and his grandson's is met with surprise to say the least. "What in God's name are you doing out here?"

Oskari groans. "I thought." he states simply at the man. "That you would have covered my retreat, not shot and then retreated. And, I was counting once more. The one I had aimed just then to shoot." Groaning he just settles back against a chair. "It could be worse. I could have coughed us both into an ambush." he groans and then obliges everyone by starting to do just that. Cough into his fist. Quickly pulling out a scrap of fabric he coughs into it, trying not to look up. Over exertion no doubt.

«Ground Combat» Antti moves into Cabin.

Markus shoves his one ski pole into the ground as he crosses the snow in the direction of the Cabin. As he nears the building, he raises his one good arm, his right, into the air and waves to make sure to draw attention. He doesn't want to spook any sentries and get himself shot.

«Ground Combat» Markus moves into Cabin.

Sonja helps Antti in, when he steps through the door covered in blood. "Father! come quickly. Antti is shot!". Repeatedly. She looks over the antitank rifle he's lugging around, impressed. She's never seen a gun /that/ big before.

The Solothurn is set to the cabin floor with a solid THUD, as the still bloodied farmer leans against the wall, and just focuses on breathing and sweating. Swallowing once, he wonders between heavy breath, "We.. lose.. anyone?"

Markus slips into the cabin, his left arm bleeding just above his biscep. The extra clothing makes it difficult to determine how serious the wound is, but how bloody the clothing is around it makes it obvious that it is serious. He makes a quick survey of those in here and says, "Is this all that made it out of the town?! Please tell me more made it out alive then this."

«Medic Code» Markus looks you over!

Oskari finishes his little coughing fit, sighing some as it brought sweat to his face. The scrap of fabric is tucked back in a pocket as he tries to wave off markus. "I was the last out that I know of." he says, his voice very hoarse.
Korhonen takes his attention off Sonja after that, to deal with Antti's more immediate concerns. "God in Heaven. All right. We can at least stabilize him here until we can take him back to the village." With that, he starts working on

Antti's wounds. "There should be some morphine in my kit. Fetch it, Sonja."
"We are not going to trade bullet for bullet with the soviets. They have a lot more of that than we do." Jari shrugs and looks at Korhonen. "They're here in full force. And by the look of things, some people will need to get some rest here." He looks at Markus, "Most of them followed the road out. Hopefully they'll make it to Suomussalmi." He looks back at Korhonen. "Not our village anymore."

Sonja looks up at Markus, her child's hand held in a death grip, making him cry. "I don't know, there were a lot of people running in all directions, I just happened to meet Jari on the way.". Speaking of Jari, she looks over to him. "Why are they /here/?" she asks, and begins trembling again. "Our home…". Korhonen's words cause her to reach down for the ampoules, rather leadenly.

Topi comes skiing into the area near the cabin, looking around for a few moments, before he starts making his way to the door of the building, rather slowly.

Oskari finally gasps up. "If they are here, then the border units are…" his words broken by a few coughs and then a solem statement. "The border units are gone. Likely over run and destroyed, meaning I have no place to go home to either…"

Markus simply nods as he listens to the comotion about the room. "Those with rifles!" This is shouted to gather some attention on himself. "Watch the windows and make sure no patrols are coming this way. We cant afford to have them suprise us here too."

«Equipment» Oskari picks up Pystykorva.

Antti has enough of his breath back to ask for water, before drawing a slower breath, and muttering, "Do we.. know if they are.. staying in the town, or moving through?"

Sonja is /not/ reassured by the words she's hearing, and drops the ampoule in her hand. Fortunately it doesn't break, it just rolls away until the wall stops it. She steps over to the wall, to sag against it as well.

Topi pauses for a few moments outside the door, before knocking on it. Not wise to head inside without letting the people there know first, after all.

Markus scans over the packed cabin trying to find a place to get off his feet. At this point, the adrenalin was begining to wear off. Not that his arm didn't hurt like hell before, but now it was killing him. Deciding not to muscle his way through the room, he just plops down on the ground near the door and leans back against the wall. He had already looked over Antti earlier and knew the man was in worse condition then him. There was doubt that he would be seen anytime soon.

Viinikainen stands up, shaking his head at Markus. "No use to watch from here, have to patrol and see if anything crosses the tracks." He digs up a patched pipe which has broken once again, looking sadly at it he puts it away and steps out, turning around in the door. "But I don't think Ivan is going to bother much with us until they reach the coast. I'll go have a look." He looks at Topi in the doorway, squeezes past and gets into his skiis and sets off.

Korhonen swears under his breath. "Leave it!" he tells Sonja. Not angrily, but there's an edge of frustration in his tone. He goes over to the wall to retrieve the ampoule himself, then hastily readies a needle. "For the pain," he explains to Antti as he kneels down again, though he waits for the wounded man's permission before injecting it. "Your arm was little more than grazed. That should heal in a few days. The bullet in your abdomen was deeper, but it is a clean wound. It can be removed without difficulty here. This…" He frowns at the wound in Antti's head, trailing off. "This, we must worry about later."

Oskari just sits in the chair, trying to be out of the way and not cough on anyone. He was yelled at for doing that once already.

Topi steps in now, sighing a little as he looks around at the others present. "So this is where you've been hiding," he comments, almost absently.

Markus gives a firm nod to Viinikainen from his spot on the floor. "Good Jari. Stay safe out there." He was not one to stay behind, but with his injury he would only be holding the man back. When the door shuts, Markus lets out a deep sigh and tilts his head down to look at the floor. He props his elbow on his knee and holds his head up with his hand. Looking depressed his thoughts wonder off about his sister and where she could possibly be.

Antti swears under his breath at Korhonen's words. "If you'd going to dig the bullet out of my guts now, go ahead. Otherwise, save it, doctor. Need later." Looking aside as Jari squeezes out, he simply draws a long breath. "Luck," he mutters flatly.

Sonja jumps a bit at the harsh words, and settles down onto the floor, clutching Henrik close and letting others talk.
