Hearing the sound of a flame thrower lighting up, Rampart takes a quick look back from the robots that are heading his and the Ghost direction. No ... "Don't! We need a plan!" Rampart twist and turns, his head on a swivel as if he were in a dogfight.

Those legs look like they're built for speed but I don't see any obvious flight equipment. If we can break this circle. String them out. We might turn around the numbers advantage.



OOC: Rampart will spend his first action "evading" any robot attack and use his Weakness Detection against our mechanoid adversaries.

"Try to out flank them, You should be able to get around behind them from the air."

"Using your abilities, can you tell if they are machines or some kind of Aliens in suits?  I'd think you'd be well equiped to handle robots."

"I'm thinking we might find a good use for that Force Field Projector you slapped together, can you set it to project over an area?

"Go in the opposite direction of Skyhawk?  I'm thinking a couple of Hammers to the sides, and we'll be the anvil if needed."

"Stay between them and the team if you can.  It looks like you can probably take a hit better than most of us."

"As I'm unaware of your abilities, I'll trust you to be where you need to be in this conflict.

To everyone, "I know I for one have no intention of being destroyed."

Power Chord will cast Forcefield around himself, and prepare Power Blast if the Robots act in a hostile manner.

"That's my plan. I won't hit them first, but I will hit back."

Roger Power Chord, consider it ready. Do I cover us or them?

Machinist modifies his Force Field Projector to cover an circular area. When ready and on Power Chord's signal he will create a protective bubble over the area Power Chord tells him to.

"I don't want us surrounded.  If you can prevent them from getting behnd us, or separate some of them like you did Ghost, go for it."

"Thunderbolt, I think you're right, a threat of destruction is enough.  Do your worst."

 With that, Power Chord will releast twin bolts of mystic energy at two of the metal clad menaces.

Skyhawk fires at the closest droid. "Eat it C-creep-e-o."He states.

"This might not wooooooork!" as Diesel flies through the air!

[OOC: The armor does weigh something (I never figured out what) so that might lower your leftover CC a bit]

GM to the group:

As it stands right, you all are in a small circular clearing approximately 5" x 5" wide. With light brush and trees surrounding you. The robots hold positions roughly equal to clock positions, and are rough 15" from you.

Everyone is at full power and HP with the following exceptions.

Power Chord - Organizing the team's defense, Force Field spell up, working on Power Blast spell.  No actions left.

Rampart - In flight, evading, while holding an action, and observing the robots (or at least that's what I'm getting from your description, if I'm wrong, let me know). 2 actions remaining.

Skyhawk - In flight, receiving the data from Achilles scan, which is a bit confusing, as the results aren't quite what he expected. He's getting conflicting information, while he's expect them to be mechanical, he's also picking up a bio signature. Firing his Power Blast, he strikes the one at 3 O'clock for a whooping 8 points of damage. No actions remaining.

T-bolt - He can definitely sense the robots, and instantly knows they're not constructed of metal, but not much more, as their forms are to alien for him. Using his magnetic abilities to propel Diesel at one of the robots. No actions remaining.

The Machinist - has made a modification to his FF projector, which has now expanded its reach to encompass (2) two or the robots, he ones at 4 & 5 O'clock (but also limiting the amount of damage it can defend against before collapsing). 1 action remaining.

Ghost - Holding fast, waiting for an opportunity to evade. 1 action remaining.

Diesel - Was Holding his action, while using his body as a shield to black any attacks directed at the group. Now being maneuvered to strike one of the robots, and misses.

Once you all have initiated your attacks, the robots counter attack.

The robot at 12 O'clock fires on T-bolt, striking him with an energy beam for 11 points of damage (which is absorbed by his armor) ADR now 41 (as it's got an AR of 4).

The Robots at the 4&5 O'clock position move in on the Machinist, and fire on him, Robot #4 misses, while robot #5 hits for 9 points damage. Do you want to roll with it?

Robots 10 & 11 fire on Skyhawk and miss, while Robots 6&7 fire on Rampart. Robot 6 hits, for 12 Points of damage (let me know how you want to handle it) while robot 7 misses.

Robot 8 fires on Ghost and hits, but his "ghost mode" allows the shot to harmlessly pass through him.

Robots, 1,2 move toward Power Chord, while Robot #3 fires on him, hitting his FF or 7 points of damage.

Actions gents.

Thunderbolt - , twists in mid-air trying to avoid the energy blast, "Arrrg... that stung!!! Ok... must have mistaken a scan beam for an attack... but they didn't seem interested in peaceful dialogue..."

Shifting his flight to a more defensive erratic movement jinking in the air he watches the... aliens react and alters his tactics.

"Nothing ventured nothing gained Diesel - , ...yeah more practice.  Stand tall...!  This is far from over!"

Addressing Power Chord - , "Scan complete, 'Deep Radar' confirms... they are Not robots, they are creatures of a... non-terrestrial origin... and their suits are not made of metal."

OOC:  Opps ! LOL! Sorry guys missed the part that it is still the first turn as there are people with unresolved actions!  Thanks for the heads up Ranger!   I'll save those actions for my next turn! My goof!

Power Chord, Scan shows that these visitors are giving off a Bio signal.
Maybe these aren't robots or aliens in suits. I wonder if this is just what this life form looks like.
Skyhawk will continue to fly evasive, and will hold his next attack until PC gives an updated order.

Machinist rolls with the damage. "Ugh"

He mentally reaches out. Parts start floating from his suit as he creates a tangler grenade (use of remaining action).

With Power Chord giving the go ahead, Skyhawk will unleash another blast on the Robo-alien he previously hit.

GM to the group

Ghost - Evading

Skyhawk - Firing in an attempt to strike his previous target, hit him square in the head for a solid 14 points of damage, blowing of part of its armored head. At which point, its now severely damaged husk, falls to the ground exposing its inner working, and what appears to be circulatory system of some type. 

Rampart - Swinging with his improvised club, Rampart swings like a baseball player of old, only to come up short, just missing his intended target, and and drawing the attention of the Robot. Who fires a beam of energy at Rampart, while the beam misses, you can feel the heat as it passes by your face.

The Machinist - Rolling with the blow, you quickly assume a defensive position, and shake off the effects of the strikes. Currently assembling a grenade.

T-Bolt - Dodging and weaving, notices that he's drawn the attention of two of the robots, who seem to be trying to draw a beed on him, but are having difficulty. Both fire on him, and miss.

Power Chord - A bright glow forms around your hands before a ball of electrical energy that strikes for 12 points of damage, on it's primary target, with a massive ZZZZZZZ!!!! and sending it stumbling backward, and misses any secondary targets.

Diesel - After missing his target, lands safely along the edge of the treeline, and begins scanning for possible threats. The hairs on the back of his neck stand up (a successful detect danger roll), allow him to narrowly miss a shot aimed at his back by the robot he'd just tried to hit.

Actions?

The Machinist evades as he assembles his grenade. He will throw it at a weakened PodBot when it is ready.

With his current target down, Skyhawk will turn his attention to  the next closest 'bot and let loose a blast of power.

Power Chord will unleash dual Mystic Bolts (Power Blasts) at the "bot" he hit last time, and the one the Machinist is attacking.

Thunderbolt - , will keep pace with Diesel - , supporting him as "wingman" using his 'body shield' if he was successful in snatching up the alien suit to parry for himself or any attacks directed at Diesel.

[ooc:  Thunderbolt should have plenty of flight movement to keep pace with Diesel]
