Robotech - Tales of the RDF

The auto cannons roar, and this time, the pilot doesn't evade. The heavy guns swat the FPA from the sky as she boosts up. There is a chance that the pilot may live, but not much of one.


Moving to regular combat round now.


AA battery one swivels around on its fixed mount and aims at Taniya in her pod.


Battle Pods 1-3 all turn on Dorsey in his Tomahawk, firing their cannons at the heavy destroid. He dives to the side and is able to dodge all but one of the shots, but his thick armor is holding.


Officer Pods 1-2 both turn on Eadric in his new mecha, firing three short range missiles each. You can either dodge or try a chaff/flare pack. That will give you a 75% chance to spoof the missiles.


Corporal Dorsey fires his particle cannon at Battle Pod 1, slamming it hard but the armor is holding.

The Zentraedi ace attempts a smooth dodge to her starboard side while letting loose a quartet of mini-missiles back at the AA battery.

Mini-missile damage (4d4x10) = 90 points if they hit. =)

Taniya is able to dodge without any trouble, and her counter fire tracks on the AA battery without hesitation. The first of the fixed cannons are now gone.

Eadric simply nods to himself as the second FPA explodes. "Nice shooting, Connor! Shifting to Dorsey's target." Better to take out the foes as quickly as possible, and that battle pod was already damaged.

Again with the laser cannons, this time one burst from the one mounted on the Spartan's right shoulder.[dice]19765[/dice]Includes the +2 from the SHORAD, for what it's worth...

The shoulder laser fires, but the nimble pod is able to dodge.


Battle Pods 4-6 aim their blasters at Connor, trying to eliminate the threat posed by the Defender. Two of the shots go wide, but the third well hit unless you dodge.

((Never been shot at before, so let's see how badly I screw up the dodge. And I'm going to also assume I can attack after dodging. If not, take the dodge over the attack.))


It was odd, Connor realized that this was the first time he has ever been shot at on the battlefield. He wasn't sure why, but it had simply never happened. If there was a time before that he had been shot at, actually shot at, then he didn't remember. But training did it's job, and he went into auto pilot. Jerking the controls to one side, he attempts to side step the shot while returning fire with return fire (Let's make it flak because why not).

Connor's dodge attempt is a bit clumsy, probably since he is surprised to be under fire for the first time. Sadly, the third Zentraedi Pod hits for 40 MDC to your main body. Plenty of armor left over to keep in the fight. His return fire with the flak cannons firing together manage to catch Battle Pods 4-6 in a spray of shrapnel, doing moderate damage to all three pods.


Pods 1-3 continue to fire on Dorsey. The sheer volume of fire catches him off guard, and he is hit. "Shoot! That stung! I'm ok, though. Keep going!"


With Taniya making such a great target of herself in the air, the two Officer Pods both aim their dual arm particle cannons at you and let fly.


Dorsey raises up his own particle cannon and hits Pod 1, finishing it off.


@Dannigan is up with Taniya for both an attack and dodge

"Brace for impact, Tolson." Taniya attempts to maneuver as best as fate allows her to. Then she lets go with twin particle-beam cannons against the remaining AA gun.

Taniya's dodge attempt is only half way successful. One of the Pods manages to track on you with its shot, causing a hard hit of 80 MDC. Barbara lets out a yelp as sparks fly up from her console. "Shoot! That last hit damaged our long range communications! We still have short range comms of about five miles, but any longer than that will require us to have another mecha relay the signal out."


And since the second AA battery can't dodge, your twin beams hit it square on and blow it to pieces.

"Drat," Eadric mutters as his lasers fly wide of the target. Well, at least Dorsey took it out. "Shifting to officer pods!" He adjusts the targeting systems to aim at Officer Pod #1, shooting with both laser cannons this time.

Eadric fires, and the Officer Pod tries to dodge.


Pods 4-6 spread out so they can't get caught by Connor firing a flak burst, and they return fire.

"A little help here!" Connor says into his comms as he attempts to dodge yet more incoming fire. They were to far apart to be to affected by his flak, so that meant he would have to start dropping them with the tungsten rounds. Firing at the one that landed the last hit on him, he fires a burst of tungsten at it.

Critical Strike on your hit! The tungsten rounds rip through Battle Pod 4 armor like it was tissue paper and it blows up in a violent detonation. Connor's dodge effort is also successful, and you are able to avoid any more damage this round.


Battle Pods 2 and 3 continue to pour fire at Dorsey in his Tomahawk. They both hit, causing serious damage, but his armor is holding.


The two Officer Pods are working to knock Taniya out of the air, and one fires its last three missiles at you, while the second fires its main particle cannon. EDIT: the missiles fail to launch, and are sitting there, stuck in the launch tubes of the Pod.


Doug snarls into his radio. "These bastards are pissing me off! Eat this!" He triggers a salvo of short range missiles into Pod 2, and it blows up.

Taniya's voice is as cool as steel in space. "Dorsey, your anger is a two-edged sword. Do not let it cut you. Focus your anger into destroying your targets. Copy?"


With the AA guns down and the Officer's Pods firing on her, she looses her autocannons on one of the battle pods firing on McKinley while guiding The Beast out of harm's way. "McKinley, help is on the way."

"On it, ma'am." Need to give the lasers time to cool down... The Spartan's arms raise the Zentraedi particle-beam rifle that Eadric had taken off the last group of bad guys they'd faced. Quickly, he takes aim at the nearest of the battle pods attacking Connor and fires.

Taniya shakes her head and thinks, Fate is most fickle this day.

All around you, the battle rages on. Alarms are blaring from the remains of the destroyer, and more Zentraedi are coming out to join in the fight. Overhead, sonic booms echo across the valley as flights of Valkyries and other fixed wing jets come racing over, missiles and bombs dropping into the mix.


Battle Pods 5 and 6 continue to attack Connor, firing their particle cannons at his Defender.

"Guess I'm doing it myself then." he muttered to himself as his pod rattled around and both his comrades shots went wide. They weren't close enough for the flak to do anything to them, so the tungsten would have to shine again.

Pod 5 gets blasted by Connors critical strike, and fortunately, you are able to evade the incoming fire. Don't forget that you only have one action left.


Pod 3 fires at Dorsey again, scoring another hit. His armor is damaged but still holding strong.


The Officer Pods keep firing at Taniya with their particle beams.


Dorsey turns on Pod 6, and fires his particle cannon at it and he punches a hole through the Malcontent unit. "Connor! That takes some of the pressure off of you. Just keep blasting those bad guys!"

Another perfect shot headed our way...


Taniya attempts to thrust her mech out of the path of the blast in the most mathematically-efficient way possible.


[dice]19879[/dice]

Well, I'll be! That's a first on RpN for me!


The dodge results raise even her eyebrows with surprise. Taniya returns fire with both of her main particle beam cannons against the pod attacking McKinley.

What seems to be a perfect shot is coming your way, up until the nearly impossible move that Taniya pulls off! The paint is scorched, but no damage is done to your armor. You're counter fire against the last of the regular Battle Pods is quite spectacular, and Barbara lets out an excited whoop as the twin beams punch into and through the thin armor.


There is now only the two Officer Pods left.
