Army of the Southern Cross

[Sherwood]

The shell slams into the Zentraedi unit with a hard impact, but it doesn't destroy the enemy yet.

[Silanon]

This time, only one cannon fires - aiming at the already damaged MPA in attempt to take it out of the fight. "He'll certainly remind you of those words."

 

[Sherwood]

Fia's single shot is enough to destroy the damaged MPA suit.

Eric lines up his guns at MPA 5, making the enemy unit explode under the onslaught.

[Orikanyo]

"Good work! MPAs down, lets wrap up the rest of the rabble and bust our way through!" the man lined up his shot towards pod 2 and fired the main cannon for the third time.

 

[Sherwood]

Heinrich joggles the control stick just as he fires, but amazingly enough, he is still on target! (I rolled a 1 for its dodge!) It blows a hole through the Pod and it stumbles and falls to the side, the operator dead inside.

The Pods are locked and loaded on Moira, trying to blast the Zentraedi pilot out of the fight. Only two of the shots have a chance to hit, but you'll need to dodge them.

[Psychie]

Transforming in to Battloid mode, Moira readies her gun pod and fires a burst at one of the pods that is attacking her. Using her loudspeaker, she taunts the enemy in her native Zentraedi, peppering them with as many nasty insults as she can as she dodges to the side.

 

[Sherwood]

Your spray of laser fire is dead on target on Pod 3, doing heavy damage. On the other hand, your effort to dodge was abysmal, and you actually stumble into the three shots, not away from them. One does only 30, the second does 80, and the third does 90. How do you want to split the damage up between your shields or Main Body?

Moira's taunting seems to have hit a nerve, because the infantry all decide to lay into you with their guns. Seven of the ten will hit unless you dodge.

AldarisLordOfLight is up next, and Psychie needs to try and dodge again

[Psychie]

I will spread the damage out, taking the damage as 30/80/90, and here is my dodge roll

 

[Sherwood]

The bad dodge before has shaken you a bit, so you are just barely able to evade the infantry as they try and hose you down.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

Adrian loads another HEAT round in his main cannon. He aims for the damaged Battle Pod and fires.

 

[Sherwood]

As the song says, another one bites the dust! The shell hammers the servers and shatters its armor

[Silanon]

With one cannon shot remaining, Fia aims right at Pod 4. "Any chance to get a proper translation for half the words you used just now, Moira? Thought I'd speak Zentraedian decently, but they never teach you the really important stuff."

 

[Silanon]

Forgot the roll...

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"I agree with Fia on this one. Better teach us a couple of those insults, War Girl! It might come in handy in the future." Adrian said as he kept his attention on the battle at hand.

 

[Sherwood]

Pod 4 takes the hit on its armor, but it is weakened.

Eric also fires at it, doing even more damage to the enemy. But it is still active.

[Orikanyo]

"Almost there! Keep on em!" heinrich rose up his gun pod once more, after some quick shifting out of the tank once again, thank god that takes next to no time.

Even if he thought the middleground transformation for the tank looked kinda dopey.

he fired upon battle pod 4 to hopefully take it out of the fight.

 

[Sherwood]

Pod 4 explodes under the concentrated fire from the hover tanks.

Pod 5 fires on Heinrich.

Orikanyo needs to declare a defense and Psychie is up

[Orikanyo]

The good doctor attempts to dodge.

 

[Psychie]

Moira laughs at the comments of her friends. "The insults don't translate exactly; basically I'm calling them cowards that are worse than the Invid slugs we were born to fight. Nasty buggers, the Invid. Be glad that humanity has never faced them." She takes aim with her gun pod at the remaining Battle Pod and fires a burst at it.

 

[Sherwood]

Heinrich works his controls to dodge, but as he moves, his hands slip from the controls for a moment, and you stumble into the attack, taking a total of 30 MDC. Where do you want to take the damage?

Moira doesn't do so well with her attack, and the nimble Regult is able to dance out of the way of her shot.

The heavy infantry are continuing to focus on Moira, sending blasts down range at you. No crits this time, but they will all hit unless you dodge.

[Psychie]

Moira moves her Spartas to try and avoid taking even more damage. "Boy, I really pissed these guys off! I wonder, is it something I said?"

 

[Sherwood]

You are able to evade the incoming fire.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"Huh, who knew? I'll hit the history books when we're done with all this. Maybe you can help fill me in on the finer details, War Girl? Also, if they can't appreciate honesty from a lady then it's their loss!" Adrian loads another HEAT round for his main gun and aims at the last Battle Pod left standing. He fires his gun...

 

[Orikanyo]

heinrich takes the 30 to his right shield.

"Invid? Even the name gives me a feeling I don't want to meet them." the man stated as he desperately tried to forget his fumble just a second before. "...Human error... Such a bastard..." he sighed, hoping they could break through soon, or at least with Adrian's shot.

 

[Sherwood]

The shell explodes on impact, causing some light damage to the battle pod.
