Army of the Southern Cross

[Sherwood]

Marcus fires, and is just barely able to catch the pod in its weakened armor, but his shot is more than enough to finish it off.

Pod #2 maneuvers around to fire again at Fia, but its aim is off and its attack passes by you harmlessly.

[Silanon]

"Better luck next time." As the shots miss her, Fia turns her mecha just enough to take aim at Pod 2 - answering the volley with one of her own.

 

[Sherwood]

Fia scores a solid hit onto the Pod, doing sizable damage.

Eric sees that, and follows up with a shot of his own. His attack also hits, doing even more damage to the enemy. It is a smoking wreck, but still active.

Pods 3 and 4 decide to target Moira. Both shots will hit unless you dodge, or you can parry.

[Psychie]

The Zentraedi warrior can feel her pulse racing as she sees the incoming fire. Kicking in the jets, Moira flips her hover tank around, trying to maneuver away from the attacks and to put herself into a good position to deliver some counter fire.

 

[Psychie]

Forgot to roll to dodge:

 

[Sherwood]

Fumbling at the controls, Moira is just barely able to dodge the attack of one Pod, but the second manages to hit for 40 points of damage. Your EU-11 blast catches the damaged pod and wipes it out, reducing the number of attackers by one more.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

Adrian growled lowly at the persistence of their foes; especially the tenacity they're exhibiting in the vacuum of space. He really doesn't like this openness, so many places to get shot. "Keep up the fire, mates! Watch your arse lest they give it a poundin'!" He quickly aims his gun pod and takes a shot at Pod-3...

 

[Sherwood]

The Regult tries to dodge, but ends up flying into the incoming fire instead of away from it.

Pods 5 and 6 shift their fire and target Adrian for hitting their buddy. They will hit unless you dodge, or you can parry.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

Seeing an incoming attack, Adrian yanks the controls of his Chimera to the side in order to dodge. "Tsk, sorry. As much as I want to take your shots, I already have a partner who has the right to shoot me if I mess up. I'm a one woman guy, old chaps."

 

[Sherwood]

The Chimera responds to the controls and is able to easily evade the incoming fire.

[Orikanyo]

Heinrich rose up his gun pod once more and pointed towards the second pod.

"Those who like this damn gravity less environment use you cannons!"

 

[Sherwood]

Heinrich raises up his EU-11 and fires a burst into the already damaged Battle Pod, scoring solid damage. It is still active, but smoking badly.

Pod 7 targets Moira as the only damaged mecha in the area. The attack will hit unless you dodge or you can attempt to parry.

[Psychie]

Moira lets out a snort. "These guys are trying to show me some love. Lets see if they can track me when I do this." She then maneuvers her tank into a tight spin to try to shake off the targeting of the enemy.

 

[ViciousVip3R]

"Guess I'm on mop up duty again, eh?" chuckles Marcus as he levels his gun towards Pod 3.

 

[Sherwood]

Marcus aims and fires, but his attack goes wide and to the right. Clean miss.

Moira's years of practice in space combat seems to have given her an edge over the Pods, and is able to dodge quite easily.

[Silanon]

"Taking care of that one, Marcus - watch out for the other one!" A short warning before she aims at the damaged pod, trying to stop it before the pilot can return fire.

 

[Sherwood]

Another shot, another miss. The Pods are just very maneuverable, and in space, they can really haul ass around at high speeds, making it hard to target them.

Eric lands his tank on the hull of the Zentraedi ship as he spins about, taking aim at the damaged mecha. His attack finds its way to the mark, and the Regult explodes in the vacuum of space.

Pod 4 fires its twin particle beams at Eric, and he is able to take the hit on his arm shield, and is rocked back on his heels by the force of the attack.

[Psychie]

Moira sees the big man's rig take the shot and calls out, "You ok there? Looks like you got rocked pretty hard." She then aims at the offending pod with her gun pod and fires a burst at it, and ends up swearing up a storm as she misses her mark.

 

[Sherwood]

You are correct; the shot is a clean miss.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"Bugger! This is getting us nowhere. When we get back ground-side, the squad should have a session in zero-g combat." Adrian grumbles as he took aim with his gun pod and fires...

 

[Sherwood]

This time, Adrian manages to score a good, solid hit on Pod 4. His aim was right on, and you do the max damage of the weapon.

Pods 5 and 6 see Heinrich setting himself up for another attack, and they fire at him to try and distract you and cause you to miss your next shot. They will hit unless you dodge or decide to just parry.

[Orikanyo]

"You got a point, they didn't exactly prepare us for this type of battle in a hovertank." the man tried to juke the shots, while lining up one of his own.

 

[Sherwood]

Critical strike! The weakened armor is blasted away like tissue paper, killing the pilot instantly. Your dodge attempt goes well, also, and you are able to avoid any damage this time around.

Pod 7 aims a shot at Marcus, but is rattled by the sudden explosion of his comrade, knocking it off target to miss.

[ViciousVip3R]

"Hey, I think I'm getting the hang fighting in zero G." remarked Marcus optimistically as he aimed at pod 7.

 

[Sherwood]

Marcus lays down some serious weapon fire and scores a direct hit on Pod 7. It is damaged, but still in the fight.
