Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure

[Psychie]

Ryuko's pulse cannons lance out and hit the FPA hard. Normally I'd need you to roll your damage, but even with a minimum roll, it will be enough to take out the Zentraedi.

D. Rex is up with one enemy left

21 - Marlon [1] <====
20 - FPA 1 [1]
18 - Gabi [1]
11 - Alan [1]

[D. Rex]

"You aren't going to hit me that easily." Marlon called out as his mecha.

Wiping ash and jungle mud from his visor, he aimed his cannon again the at FPA. Sure, his teeth were rocked, and his ears rang a little. But he didnt need to hear well to shoot a cannon.

Fire!

Target: FPA 1
Strike: Miss

 

[Psychie]

The plasma cannon roars, but the nimble Zentraedi mecha is able to dodge out of the way.

Now, the pilot pauses as she hovers in the air. "Five on one? So be it! I have faced worse odds in my life and thrived. But if I die, I will do so knowing that I have fought against the micornians to the end! Long live High Lord Zerkia!" She then powers forward, her chest cannons blazing and firing a spray of grenades at Marlon. They will hit unless you dodge.

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

[D. Rex]

"The Busty Behemoth at last!" Aye, Marlon wasn't hitting the broadside of the barn today. But he sure wasnt going to make it easy for her to hit him either.

Once more Marlon engaged his thrusters, initiating a short serious of hops to the right to get out of the blast zone.

 

[Psychie]

With a quick hop, Marlon is able to evade the grenades.

Purr is up

Gabriela respected this last opponent but didn't wast time or breath talking to her She had chosen to die in the way of the warrior and Gabriela had to give a big grin for that. High Lord Zerkia had some hard chargers under her command and that spoke highly of her ability to lead.

But where was the High Lord herself?

Still, a Female Power Armor with nothing to lose was a deadly opponent. It was fortune and skill that had kept Third Heavy Recon healthy this long and Gabriela was not one to rely on lady luck. Going through her mental list of options, Gabi decided to hold her fire, switch to missiles, and train her sights on the Female Power Armor's missile racks. Should she launch another volley, Gabi would be ready for them with a missile of her own.

It might, she considered, be the difference between her or one of her teammates going home or not.

[Rykon]

Alan let the nicotine patch on his arm numb the anger in his heart. He spoke in a cold monotone over the radio with the most scathing condemnation he could think of based on the speech he just heard. "Aye, the memories of you and your high lord will live long, as a waste of everyone's time."

He pulled the firing mechanism of the Spartas with the heavy crank of its bolt trembling through the dense armor as it loaded a round in the chamber. The cannon roared in defiant thunder, sending an APFSDS round rifling through the sky in a piercing whistle. "Hope you're happy you made me throw away a perfectly good shell." He said with a scowl painted on his face.

[Strike +11 assuming the command buff is active, but it doesn't look like it hits anyway.]

Deunan snarls out, "This bitch is starting to piss me off. We need to wrap this up." She shifts her Spartas into its Tank mode, and elevates the main gun up to try and get a shot off on the powered suit.

[Psychie]

Solid hit! This time, the pilot does not manage to dodge out of the way, and she gets slammed hard, but manages to maintain control of her mecha and doesn't crash.

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Her Ajax would fly in before getting up close, aiming to attack the enemy FPA by punching it.

 

[Psychie]

The punch flies at the powered armor, but with lightning reflexes, the pilot swings her own fist up and blocks your punch, keeping you from doing any damage.

D. Rex is up

[D. Rex]

"What the hell is she doing?" Marlon grumbled loudly. "Ryuko! Get out of the way. You're in a blast zone."

Marlon gritted his teeth. Aiming carefully at the FPA, and hoping dearly he didnt miss and hit the grandeur chasing dunderhead. But he couldn't not take the shot. As that FPA on its suicide run could do a lot of damage to that Ajax.

 

[D. Rex]

Shit. Sorry Illya!

 

[Psychie]

Roll your damage.

 

[D. Rex]

Friendly Fire.

Damage: 110

 

[Psychie]

It happens.

 

[D. Rex]

It happens.

I'm 1/2 just happy I hit something. And 1/2 intending to use it for some fun roleplay.

 

[Psychie]

Marlon's shot is well on its way to finishing off the FPA pilot, but she manages to swerve around behind Ryuko's Ajax at the last moment just before you pull the trigger. The shot slams into the back of Ryuko's mecha, doing 110 MD of damage.

The pilot of the powered armor laughs. "Lets finish what your ally has begun!" With that, she opens up her missile racks and launches a salvo of 12 mini missiles. Purr , you have been holding your action just for this moment, with the declared intent to defend your team members from a missile hit. Do you wish to use missile vs. missile, or use guns?

Gundam Watcher 27 you cannot dodge this many missiles, but you can either shoot them or try a Chaff/flare pack to spoof them, assuming that Gabi's effort doesn't succeed in stopping them.

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"What?!"
The opposing mech had caught the punch, then would quickly fly around behind her Ajax, before the beam hit herself.

"Gyaaaah!"
The inside of the the cockpit shook, before the sensors alerted her of incoming enemy fire.
"Ngh..."
The Ajax would fire flares in hopes of disrupting the incoming missles.

 

[Psychie]

The missiles are tracking on you through the Chaff! Hopefully, Gabi's delayed action can take them out! I just need to know if she is using guns or missiles to target them for the odds of success.

 

[D. Rex]

"NO!" Marlon shouted, and slammed his armored fist against the console. He warned her. He warned her! And his shot might as well have doomed her. "Get out of there Ryuko!" But... that hope was slain as soon as the missiles slipped through the chaff.

When Ryuko went in into melee range, Gabriela gasped and turned pale in shock. Could Ryuko have given that last daring pilot a bigger advantage?

Then Marlon's round hit Ryuko's Ajax and the enemy's missiles made it through Ryuko's chaff and flares!

"Padre Santo ("Holy Father!")!" Gabi prayed from her very soul, "destroy this threat from the Devil! Please help Ryuko!!"

She launched her short-range plasma missile, held her breath, and kept praying as she watched her missile drop and soar at the volley about to consume Ryuko.

[Psychie]

There is a tense moment as the missiles fly right at Ryuko, but from seemingly out of nowhere, Gabi launches her own plasma missile and intercepts the swarm! A thunderous detonation takes place, right in Ryuko's face, but at least you are not getting hammered by a dozen mini missiles! The shockwave does rattle you, but you don't take any more damage this time around.
