As if the dice haven't been bad enough for him. Speaking of dice, Cap'n, can you give me the color you want most for your d20 rolls, please?

Finally, combat! Initiative time for the A.T.A.C. team (read in-character post first, please). =)
Combat initiative order:
Natural 20! (21) - Cpl. Mario Zuko (using HLW-6 Heavy Laser Squad Support Weapon, 6/6 bursts)
17 - Cpl. Fat Booty (using Mk. 25 Automatic Grenade Launcher, 94/96 round belt)
10 - Pack of oncoming Wargoths - 10
8 - Cpl. Hercules Papadopolis (in prone position using HPW-6 Heavy Plasma Squad Support Weapon)
Situation: The A.T.A.C. Wild Cards nearly have their backs against a grate a new ally is attempting to cut through. It is clear he will need time to do this. A pack of Wargoths released by the Zeki-Zentraedi have followed the Wild Cards through the oversized (20 ft. by 20 ft.) air conditioning duct work. The Wild Cards team knew they were coming (no chance at surprise).
A small red flare at the junction some 60 feet away is the only light besides the new ally's cutting torch. The Wargoths have just come around this junction at full speed to attack the Wild Cards. The Wargoths are about 10 feet apart from one another running along the walls and ceiling. MechaKitten is with the new ally behind the Wild Card team.

Answer #1.
Answer #2. They will reach melee range during their third attack of the round (i.e. they need this round and the next two attacks/actions to reach melee range).

How do Mario and Herc choose to defend against these new threats (i.e. Parry, Dodge, Roll, etc.)?

Mario will attempt to bring his arm shield into play to parry the attacks.

Mario and Hercules succeeded in their defense rolls; Booty did not and is about to be dragged across the floor toward five angry and menacing mega-damage alien dog-things.

Combat initiative order (Round 2):
Natural 20! (21) - Cpl. Mario Zuko (using HLW-6 Heavy Laser Squad Support Weapon, 4/6 bursts, wounded the Wargoth on Fat Booty for 15 M.D., rolled a 12 on the orange die and maximum damage!)
17 - Cpl. Fat Booty (using Mk. 25 Automatic Grenade Launcher, 82//96 round belt, rolled a 2 to Strike, missing the pack again...)
10 - Pack of oncoming Wargoths (5/6, 1 wounded for 15 M.D., all now attacking Fat Booty who is prone)
8 - Cpl. Hercules Papadopolis (in prone position using HPW-6 Heavy Plasma Squad Support Weapon. Rolled a 10 to Strike on the blue d20 to attack the Wargoth pulling Booty. Wargoth rolled a 17 on its d20 and dodged the blast)

Mario has fired and struck the Wargoth sticking to Booty, but for minimum damage. Booty retaliated with another six-round burst. The whole thing missed with a 2 on the die. The Wargoths are attacking Booty whose heavy armor is now moderately damaged.

I don't recall this coming up in Broadsword, so I thought I'd explain to those who haven't been in one of Dann's games before, and maybe remind those who have (on the off chance they've forgotten).
"In mortal danger" is one of Dannigan's keywords that means, basically, if nothing changes, the character is extremely likely to die (or characters, or the whole party, sometimes). It's his way of offering the players a last-ditch warning in the hopes that one or more of them will do something to alter the situation for the better (because he doesn't like characters dying any more than players do).
So yeah, anytime you see "in mortal danger" in one of Dann's posts, it might be good to pay just that much more attention to things or put just that much more thought into your next action.

Go, Kaerri! =) I couldn't have said it better myself... and it's my saying!
Kaerri

That... wasn't quite what I meant by changing things >.> I know Mario can't see the dice rolls, but he still ought to be able to see that it's pure bad luck that's caused the missing?

While this is definitely the heart behind that saying of mine, I should add one more important note (that I thought about earlier today) - my using this phrase indicates that I cannot see a reasonable way out of a character's situation. That most certainly does not mean someone else might come up with a solution I haven't thought of. I am, after all, just one mind here among many. In fact, by my using that phrase, there is some strong part of me that is hoping someone else will find a way out of whatever it is that's going on! =)

Palladium is a pretty linear system; it does what it does with pretty rigorous rules but it doesn't even pretend to cover outside of the box thinking.
If there isn't a way to save Booty's life using the ruleset, bypass the ruleset by doing something not covered by the rules.
