Critical Strike! With close to max damage done, the Regult Battle Pod explodes! Another kill!

[Rykon]

Alan rides out the momentum as he shifts the Spartas into Battloid mode. With the heavy machine sailing through the air, he extended a leg out into a flying kick in an attempt to squash Soldier 7. With his landing, he tried to block the exit and force a confrontation with Solider 8. "After all you interlopers did, you have the gall to RUN?!" Alan howled in fury.

[Phone post so pardon the clumsiness]

 

[Psychie]

Alan's flying kick is off target, but you do manage to land in a position to block their retreat farther down the passage.

Rykon "Hey! Alan!" Gabi called over the radio while she weaved and dodged enemy fire. "You want help with those two pendejos ("idiots")?"

 

[Rykon]

"Sure thing Rosy. I don't want anyone escaping to arm up later." Alan replied through the squad band.

"You got it!"

Gabi attempted to train each of her ion cannons on the pair of Zentraedi soldiers. Firing on separate targets was a tricky thing to do, but if it worked, it would put them both down.

Doing her utmost to calm herself for the shots, Gabi focused her mind, helicopter, and targeting reticles and pulled the trigger.

"Greet the Devil, you bastards..."

[Psychie]

A pair of excellent rolls burns a hole through the last two soldiers, dropping them on the ground with bleeding wounds to the chest, bleeding out.

Clean miss. The blast punches into the wall harmlessly.

Neo tries her luck at hitting the same Pod and does so, but only does minor damage.

The three remaining Battle Pods begin to back into the tunnel that the came from, firing wildly, causing more explosions in the chamber to cover their escape. For the next two attacks against them, you will be at a -4 to hit due to the smoke and flames going off.

Neo calls out, "Boss! They are on the radio, calling out that they are getting overrun, and to reinforce the second line to protect the High Lord!"

[D. Rex]

Marlon grinned at the news on the radio, "Then it looks our main target really is here. All the reason to push even harder."

Marlon switched to battloid mode. Firing off a burst of the EU-11 at the elusive battlepod 1.

Strike: 28, -4
Damage: 50

 

[Psychie]

Marlon scores a hard hit, punching a hole through the weakened armor of the Regult Pod, destroying it.

There are just two left and they are on the run.

Gundam Watcher 27 is up

[Gundam Watcher 27]

The Crimson Ajax would fly forward towards the escaping Pods, as Ryuko contacted her allies.

"I'm going to intercept them! If I miss, someone follow up!"

 

[Psychie]

Do you want to fire on them, or just try and fly in front of them?

 

[Psychie]

Gundam Watcher 27 I need you to clarify your action for me so I don't mis-post for you.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Gundam Watcher 27 I need you to clarify your action for me so I don't mis-post for you.

I'm going to cut them off from escape and fire of course. I'm doing the -4 penalty attack two at once thing again also

 

[Psychie]

One of the nearby explosions rocks Ryuko's Ajax enough that it throws your aim off on both of your shots.

[Rykon]

"Shit, shit, shit!" Alan chants to himself, watching Ryuko charge to the front. His console buckled from having the throttle slammed viciously to its limit. "Don't hit her, dammit!" With a shaky hand, he pushed his software to present a target through the smoke. Eventually, it became clear that there was no breaking through the smog, he had to fire now.

Alan's Spartas levels it's EU-11 gun toward Battle Pod 3 and unloads a full burst as he pushes toward the remaining corridor. "We can't let up now! We have to end it here!"

[70 MD if it hits Battle Pod 3!]

[Note, I can't recall if the command bonus was activated. If so, the strike roll is higher than +11. Damage is also supposed to be 1d6x10+10, so my goof on the label.]

[Psychie]

That 70 MD is more than enough to send the damaged Battle Pod over the edge and cause it to explode, leaving only one standing, or more accurately, running down the tunnel.

Bump for Purr

 

[Purr]

"If you're going to leave without saying goodbye like that," she told the Battle Pod, "maybe you should take a little something with you." Gabriela took careful aim with her ion cannon and loosed a deadly pulse at it.

Spoiler: Psychie

I've been distracted. Thanks for the bump! =)

 

[Psychie]

The pulse flies out and slams into the Pod despite its effort to duck out of the way. Its armor is holding, but it took quite a solid hit.

One last target. Time to finish the job. Deunan takes careful aim and fires another burst at the damaged Pod, hoping to take it out.

Deunan's shot hits it hard, but it is still fighting.

Neo takes aim and fires, but her Eu-11 overheats and shuts down for a moment to keep from damaging its delicate innards. Her response is to offer up a colorful spray of cuss words.

The last Battle Pod fires a blast from its particle cannon at Neo as it continues to back away into the tunnel, but she manages to dodge out of the way.

[D. Rex]

"Watch your mouth Neo, there are men present. Don't taint our delicate ears." He teased in a deadpan voice as he lined up his shot.

"Now will this thing just [Fricking] die already!"

Gunpod raised he released yet another burst down the pockmarked and burnt tunnel.

Eu11A- LR

Strike: 20
Damage: 30

 

[Psychie]

Finally, the last Pod is disabled, leaving you alone in the burning chamber.

What do you guys do now?
