Rifts Adventure IC

[Sherwood]

Since the bulk of the group is acting out of surprise, Silanon , Psychie , D. Rex and Rykon get one free attack against the Runners.

Purr , a quick check of the past posts shows me that I forgot to roll a to-hit for your action! Snowfall manages to tag Runner #1 with a light hit, but damage is damage, and every little bit counts. The three Mechanoid mecha continue to fire on you, doing no damage thanks to the Immunity to Energy spell that is still in effect.

Silanon is up

After snaking a peek and pointing out the numbers of Mechanoids in the larger chamber, Shaona is now armed with her weapon and is ready to act on her next action.

[Purr]

Snowfall zipped back to the T-section where the Runners had come from. There, he shook the recognizable piece of salvage from the Mantis he had procured at whatever was back there. "Oh no! Say it isn't so!" the Kitsune taunted in mock-surprise and dismay while he shook the Mantis salvage at them. "These Mechanoids aren't half the bad guys they're supposed to be! I guess they tried to take over the wrong planet after all! That's what happens when you have incompetent, bumbling leadership - it's worse than the blind leading the blind - it's the dumb leading the dumber! Bye-bye stupid! I'm off to sell your buddy's parts here! Ha haaaa!"

Snowfall then flew back down his original path sparing only one glance back to see if his taunting had its intended effect. If the Mechanoids followed him, perhaps his party could strike them in the back!

Spoiler: Sherwood

May Snowfall use his M.A. here to do the taunting?

 

[Sherwood]

You are not sure if it is the fact that you insulted them, or if it is just the fact that you are a humanoid and their sworn mortal enemy, the Runners are chasing after you. In fact, the first Runner is readying a new weapon. It appears to be some sort of rail gun, which means it will not be nullified by your Immunity to Energy spell that you have up. It levels the rail gun at Snowfall and fires a rapid-fire burst at you.

D. Rex is up with Daisy, and Purr has a defense to declare.

[Purr]

Snowfall did his best to dodge!

 

[Sherwood]

Does your character have the Auto Dodge from your HtH?

 

[Purr]

Spoiler: OOC for Sherwood

He does, he does! Chinese Tai Chi for the win!

 

[Sherwood]

The ripple fire of rail gun rounds come close to hitting you, but Snowfall's agility keeps you from harm.

D. Rex is up

 

[Sherwood]

Bump for D. Rex

 

[D. Rex]

Would like to skip my turn for the time being. If i may. Biding my time. Going along with the plan.

 

[Sherwood]

As Daisy hold her position, Runner 2 fires its rail gun at Snowfall. It will hit unless you declare your dodge.

Psychie is up, and Purr has a defense to declare. Most likely a dodge, but Snowfall is your character and you may have other plans!

[Purr]

Snowfall attempted to get out of harm's way!

 

[Sherwood]

Once again, Snowfall is able to evade the burst from the rail gun.

Psychie is up

 

[Psychie]

Terra will also delay her action, waiting for the Mechanoids in the main chamber to take the bait and run out to see what is going on in the corridor and give them a strike on their backs.

As Terra waits, the six Thin Men that Shaona saw inside the chamber come running out into the corridor, giving both Daisy and Terra a good view of their unprotected backs as they begin to raise up their weapons to fire on Snowfall.

D. Rex and Psychie have the jump on the Thin Men if you want to take it.

[Psychie]

Now that the mecha inside the chamber have taken the bait to run out and get into the fun, Terra directs Junior and Baby to swing their swords on Thin Man #1, while Tiny tries to hit Thin Man #2 with a lightning bolt blast.

[Sherwood]

Under the force of the twin blows from the Earth Thunderer Automations, Thin Man One is cut down hard. Thin Man Two is also struck by the lighting blast from Tiny, but it is still up and active.

D. Rex is up with Daisy if you want to use your saved action

[Sherwood]

A bump for D. Rex . You have a held action if you want to use it.

 

[D. Rex]

Following Terra's lead, Daisy fires off her Boom gun at one of those thin men. Finally bringing the pain she was so eager to dish out! (Small post sorry)


Target: Thin Man 3
Strike: Critical Strike, 37 (crit on the nat 18)
Damage: 130 (before critical)

 

[Sherwood]

The Boom Gun roars, and the round rips through the Thin Man like it was made of paper.

In response to being attacked, the four remaining Thin Men turn to face Terra's two Earth Thunderers, spraying them both with laser fire from their rifles, doing no damage thanks to your Immunity to Energy spell that is still active.

Runner 3 fires a burst from its rail gun at Snowfall, but it goes wide (rolled a 2).

Rykon is up

[Rykon]

Zephiron will lash out at Thin Man 4 with his halberd, assuming it doesn't compromise his position relative to the Overlord.

It's facing 90MD

 

[Sherwood]

The halberd lashes out, and you manage to hit the Thin Man with a resounding CLANG! It stumbles, but it is still standing.

[Silanon]

Not much to do at this point, yet - the greater evil still lurks in the chamber, and that will have to be her magic's focus. Thus, her gun will get to do some good, for once; a burst of shots right at Thin Man 2, getting him one step farther on the scale from mechanoid to scrap.

That, at least, was the plan. Not that successful, eh?

 

[Sherwood]

Shaona raises up her rifle, but when you go to pull the trigger, nothing happens. It must be a dud of a power cell. It will take you an action to swap it out for a fresh one, or you can carry on with some other kind of attack for your next action.

[D. Rex]

Did I not use my held action when I attacked the thin man?
