[Sherwood]

Charging out of the tree line at high speed, the three Saber Cyclones and C'osmo's Silverback begin to tear along towards the bunker. You are about halfway there when the ground in front of you erupts up as a pair of Odeon Inorganics suddenly stand up in your path!

Initiative rolls, please!

Rolling Pilot Ground Veritechs at an 81%

 

[Sherwood]

As the two Inorganics burst out of the earth in front of you, Pyrrah literally bounces off of the leg of one of the Odeon's, nearly losing control of her Cyclone in the process. She is just barely able to maintain control and is not knocked off of her mecha, but you are totally off balance and are at the end of the initiative order.

Odeon 1 swings its heavy arm at Pyrrah, and will connect if you don't dodge. Remember, you are currently not in your mecha mode, so your dodge will use up an action.

Psychie has a defense to declare

21 - Odeon 1 [1]
18 - Keith
15 - C'osmo
10 - Odeon 2
8 - Torni
1 - Pyrrah

 

[Psychie]

Pyrrah bites back a yelp of surprise as she desperately tries to duck under the heavy claw.

[Sherwood]

The large arm slams into Pyrrah's chest with teeth-rattling force, knocking her clear off of the Cyclone and it sends her sprawling in the dirt. Your CVR-3 armor takes 12 MD.

Keith immediately flips the control lever to transform his Cyclone into its mecha mode, and he opens up on Odeon 1 with his EP-37 Beam Cannon, trying to keep its attention away from the fallen Pyrrah long enough to allow her to get to her feet and be ready to defend herself.

Purr is up

21 - Odeon 1 [1] light damage
18 - Keith [1]
15 - C'osmo <====
10 - Odeon 2
8 - Torni
1 - Pyrrah [1]

 

[Purr]

C'osmo recoils in surprise and dismay as the Odeon smacks his LT (HIS LIEUTENANT!! HIS!!) off of her Cyclone and onto the ground. Aiming his powerful Silverback at the offending monster-Invid, he lets his unhappiness with the alien invader be known aloud.

"OHH! You woke up thinking you were gonna get away with a cheap move like that on our Pyrrah, huh, Odee? Well, open wide and say 'aaah' to this!" Even as he does so, his training in Jeet Kune Do reminds him of the ancient saying of a long dead master: “The angry man will defeat himself in battle as well as in life.” (Joe Hyams, Zen in the Martial Arts).

Once C'osmo has made a quick release of these violent and negative emotions, he selects a salvo of 8 plasma mini-missiles. Using his advanced electronics, Marine training, and coolness learned in the martial arts, the brainy Karbarran attempts to blast this Odeon Invid off of the face of the planet with a skilled missile salvo!

 

[Purr]

Sherwood Hey you! Hope you're having a good one!

If C'osmo is able to move after his attack, I would like for him to put himself between the enemies and Pyrrah. Is that all right?

 

[Sherwood]

C'osmo's missiles fly at high speed and slam into the offending Inorganic with a splash of flame, melting off huge hunks of armor but not destroying it. Gunning the engine, the Karbarran shoots forward to place himself between your vulnerable leader and the Odeon that smacked her off of her Cyclone.

OOC Are you sticking to vehicle mode, or is C'osmo shifting to the Silverback's mecha mode?

Odeon #2 sees that the Silverback is the highest priority target out there, and it levels its hand-held blaster at C'osmo and fires. Luckily for you, the sudden burst of speed you put on was able to throw off its targeting, and the shot only scorches the ground.

Torni swings around, transforming into her own mecha mode as she does so, and targets the damaged Odeon with a dump of six more plasma missiles. This final bit of weapon fire was just enough to tip the balance and cause the Inorganic to explode into millions of small shards of metal and dust.

Psychie is up with action #2

18 - Keith [1]
15 - C'osmo [1]
10 - Odeon 2 [1]
8 - Torni [1]
1 - Pyrrah [1] <====

 

[Psychie]

Pyrrah does her best to get to her feet and scramble over to her Cyclone, running as fast as she can while still watching the Odeon to be able to dodge any weapon fire from it.

 

[Purr]

OOC Are you sticking to vehicle mode, or is C'osmo shifting to the Silverback's mecha mode?

"Ya like that, huh?!" The furry Marine shouts at the burning wreckage of the enemy. "Go get 'em, Gunslingers!" C'osmo cheers.

C'osmo transforms into battlloid mode and using a combination of his rear-view mirrors and Norwood to guide him, he tries to keep himself between the dangerous Odeon and his forcibly-dismounted friend and leader.

 

[Sherwood]

As Pyrrah scrambles to her Cyclone, she can feel a sharp pain in her chest that probably means some bruised or broken ribs from the thwack she took from the Odeon. It is painful, but without your CVR-3 armor, you'd be dead with a crushed ribcage.

While that is going on, Keith fires a burst from his EP-37 and stitches his shot across the armored hull of the Invid Inorganic. He shouts, "LT! You good? Just get to your Cyclone and let us deal with this asshole!"

Purr is up with C'osmo

18 - Keith [2]
15 - C'osmo [1] <====
10 - Odeon 2 [1] light damage
8 - Torni [1]
1 - Pyrrah [2]

 

[Sherwood]

A quick bump for Purr

 

[Purr]

C'osmo was near-raging on the outside but on the inside, his ever-active brain was always there balancing emotion with logic as best it could. C'osmo thinks to himself, "We better take 'em both out before they call for help!" but what comes out of his mouth as he shouts to the remaining Odeon while pointing to the flaming bits of its destroyed brethren is...

..."And this is what you get for being with him!"

C'osmo attempts to wipe out the Odeon with a missile salvo of 8 more plasma mini-missiles. "Missiles away!"

 

[Sherwood]

The Odeon staggers under the impact of the eight missiles, but its massive amount of armor is holding strong, even as it is being melted away by the flames.

In return, the Inorganic takes a shot at C'osmo with its hand-held blaster, and this time, it will hit unless you dodge. Don't forget that with the MECT skill I have given the Silverback an auto dodge, so you don't use an action/attack to evade the incoming fire.

Purr is up with his defense

18 - Keith [2]
15 - C'osmo [2]
10 - Odeon 2 [1] moderate damage
8 - Torni [1]
1 - Pyrrah [2]

 

[Purr]

"YOW!" C'osmo cries as the second Odeon aims his big Mega-damage blaster at the Karbarran.

If the shot will hit Pyrrah if C'osmo dodges, C'osmo stands his ground and takes it. However, if the shot will not strike Pyrrah, he makes every attempt to gid-oudda-da-waaay!

Spoiler: O.O.C. for Sherwood

C'osmo's total Dodge modifier (including Sensor Suite bonus) is +14.

 

[Sherwood]

C'osmo can see that if he were to dodge, the MD blast will not come anywhere close to Pyrrah as she struggles to right her Cyclone and mount up once more, so you are able to dodge without any issues.

Torni shouts out, "I only have six missiles left! Going with guns on this sonofabitch! Suck on this, you asshole!" She fires a burst from her rifle, but the heavy armor of the Odeon is still holding strong.

Psychie is up. You will be at your Cyclone in this action and can shift modes.

18 - Keith [2]
15 - C'osmo [2]
10 - Odeon 2 [2] moderate damage
8 - Torni [2]
1 - Pyrrah [2] <====

 

[Psychie]

With a grunt of satisfaction and pain, Pyrrah grabs the handlebars of her Cyclone and jumps on it. Gunning the engine, she immediately transforms into her mecha mode. Spinning around, she unloads a six-pack of Plasma mini missiles at the Inorganic.

[Sherwood]

Pyrrah's missile salvo hits, scoring some heavy damage to the Odeon. It is in bad shape,

Keith fires another burst from his EP-37, but only connects with a glancing blow that does minimal damage.

Purr is up

18 - Keith [3]
15 - C'osmo [2] <====
10 - Odeon 2 [2] critical damage
8 - Torni [2]
1 - Pyrrah [3]

 

[Purr]

C'osmo, realizing the Gunslingers are out in the open and vulnerable, loses his patience with the damned inorganic and yells, "OH JUST DIE ALREADY!" He looses a burst from his Silverback's railgun aimed straight into the alien invader's chest.

Spoiler: O.O.C. for Sherwood

Grand total of +8 to Strike using his HRG-70 doing 1D4x10 + 10 M.D. should the burst connect.

 

[Sherwood]

The burst from C'osmo's rail gun rips into the weakened armor of the Odeon, and manages to punch a hole right through it, causing the stricken mecha to shatter like a glass statue.

There are no other targets in your immediate vicinity, so we move out of combat time.

With the destruction of the Inorganic, Keith says, "Good shooting, bud! Way to show them!" He then turns his attention over to Pyrrah. "LT! You ok? What's your status?"

Torni glances up at the dogfighting going on up in the air between the Invid and the UEEF Veritechs and says, "If you can move, we should go. Sitting out in the open like this is a recipe for disaster. We'll get jumped before long for sure."

 

[Purr]

With the destruction of the Inorganic, Keith says, "Good shooting, bud! Way to show them!"

"Oh, he just HAD to go!" C'osmo rails on as he transforms his Silverback into SUV mode. "You see what that first bozo did ta our boss? No WAY he was gettin' away with that on my watch!"

Torni glances up at the dogfighting going on up in the air between the Invid and the UEEF Veritechs and says, "If you can move, we should go. Sitting out in the open like this is a recipe for disaster. We'll get jumped before long for sure."

Psychie C'osmo's concern is clear on his face though his words still hold the deadly edge of a UEEF Marine. "Yeah, LT! That looked like quite the whack! We can get creative if we need to get you and your bike outta here. What's the call, Pyrrah?"

 

[Psychie]

Pyrrah does her best to keep her pain art bay as she says, "I think I have a few broken ribs, but I can continue. I've fought battles with worse injuries; this won't stop me. Let's move. We don't want to run into any more of those Inorganics if we can avoid it."

Using the Cyclone in its motorcycle mode, she sets out at high speed, scanning the terrain ahead of them for any signs of other buried Invid that might try to slow them down.

OOC should I give you some Detect Concealment or Perception rolls?

 

[Sherwood]

OOC should I give you some Detect Concealment or Perception rolls?

One of each, please. Purr did you want to have me roll for C'osmo?
