Dice Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure - OOC

[Psychie]

That one missile was more than enough! Thanks for asking, though.

 

[D. Rex]

Wow! We are really ripping through these guys! Great job Third Heavy!

Wading into a hornet's nest and destroying everything we touch. Honey Badger Heavy Recon is seeming a very apt name to me :p

 

[Sherwood]

Damn skippy! We kick ass wherever we go!

 

[Purr]

The soldier gets hit hard, and the blast scorches his flesh. But the Zentraedi make their soldiers tough, and he is still alive, but badly hurt.

Purr is up

Psychie First I call you "Toph" by mistake; now you mistake me for Illya. Heh! =)

I was just . . . testing you! Yeah, that's the story I'm going with!

 

[Purr]

You were? Oh boy! Did I pass?! 8D

 

[Psychie]

Yes. You were very observant.

 

[Purr]

Yaaaaaay! (Ha ha ha!)

 

[Purr]

Psychie About the heavy footsteps coming our way (sorry, I can't bring myself to use the word 'footprints' here!), now given the sheer amount of noise from the explosions and violence we've caused, and the fact that we're dealing with 40-foot tall giants, makes me think whatever is coming towards us is big. So, just what sounds are we hearing here? Do they sound like leather (boots = infantry) or metal (power armor or mecha like an Officer's Pod) or something else?

Good question. It is definitely not just soldiers on foot; it must be mecha of some type.

 

[Sherwood]

Well, we knew we were kicking the beehive when we were doing this.

 

[Purr]

Psychie, is that mecha as in singular or plural? If plural, a few? A platoon?

EDIT: Wait. You said "soldiers." That's plural.

 

[Psychie]

At a rough guess you would have to say a dozen at least.

 

[Sherwood]

There is no such thing as just one Battle Pod. They always come in massive numbers.

 

[Purr]

Psychie, is there any terrain we can take advantage of (natural cover, a chokepoint we can nail them in when they're close together)? Anything else we can hit as they arrive that might give us an advantage (fuel, etc.)?

This assumes they're battle pods. While it's likely, I'm not assuming anything until we see them.

 

[Psychie]

There are other crates and storage drums nearby that entrance that you do not know what they contain; they may have something explosive in them.

 

[Purr]

Psychie, if the items are explosive in nature, is it possible to catch the lead element of the armor in an explosion as we see them? Is the angle and distance right? (Depending on the size of said items, it might be wise to hit them so they can't use them for concealment. I think any advantage we can take away from them serves us.)

 

[Psychie]

Yes, you can give it a try. The storage drums and crates are Zentraedi sized, so if there is anything explosive in them (fuel, etc) it will be a big boom.

 

[Purr]

Okay. Gabi will try it. Thanks for being so kind and patient with all of my questions! Hah! =)

 

[Psychie]

It is what I am here for. I would be a bad Storyteller if I did not follow in the examples of my teachers!

 

[D. Rex]

Also, if we control the chamber in time, we can use the corridor they are coming from as a choke point.

 

[Sherwood]

Very true.

 

[Purr]

That's precisely what I'm attempting, D.. =) If this works out well, maybe their great size will work against them and you guys with your 105mm cannons can hit them where it hurts! =)

 

[D. Rex]

Other ideas would be to, if we can control the chamber, like Rykon tried, lay a layer of plasma in the hall.

But also, if the numbers are that substantial. Launch a few smoke canisters into it. They won't be able to see. And the hallway will be clustered enough that we would be at much greater odds to hit them than them hitting us in the open chamber.
