4.2 Out in Force!

Post by KahlessNestor »

Date: November 26, 109 PA
Mission: Day 2
Time: 0050
Weather: Normal for season (chilly); light wind; light snow
Location: Wilderness
Ley Line: No
Scene modifiers:
  • Light: Dark (-4)
Round 0 - Prep

[Keep writing your interludes. The week came up, so it was time for the next post.]

The light snow continued to fall, and the occasional moon illuminated the Trailblazer’s campsite. The drone overhead was quiet at first, then grew louder. The shape of a SAMAS flew across the moon as it passed over the camp. It circled around and flew over again before veering off toward the southeast.

About ten minutes later, the glow of lights could be seen cresting the low hills as a military transport rolled to a stop. There was some distant shouting, and figures began to disengage from the sides of the transport and jump out from the back. They immediately started forming up into units as a large, armored robot came up behind them. Two of the units swung out in flanking maneuvers to the sides to encircle the camp, one left and one right, with a larger one in the center moving straight for the camp. A fourth unit remained in reserve near the robot, and the SAMAS circled overhead.

Communicating over radio, the Coalition forces were eerily silent in the night, though they weren’t being stealthy as they launched their attack.
Instructions
There’s no surprise here. There’s no real hiding a night approach by a force this big, so you would have had plenty of notice. You can have one round of preparation. We will start Round 1 next week. Since they totally smoked you on initiative, I really, really didn’t want to bring their entire firepower down on you all at once, so we’ll do normal initiative for this fight.

Right flank - roughly 12”, Light cover -2
Center - roughly 25”

After being alerted to the force coming and seeing it visually Thomas was all action. His normal lazy demeanor fled away. "Lets move people, everyone up and start rolling this is either going to big cluster or we are going to run like we have never ran before!" With the words out, Thomas immediately conjured his most powerful illusion over the camp, of everyone sitting still and still sleeping. So their preparations to flee could not be seen.

Contingent
I do not know what is happening here. I saw some of the commentary in the Discord, but it was 100+ comments that sounded like this was going to be a chase scene instead of a battle.

If this is going to be a pitched battle, then I will roll some dice, but right now I am a little confused.

If this is a battle then I will combined a full on Deadly Illusion and all 13 PPE with a Exalted Conceal Arcana.

[Reworking the post per our discussion. Bad guys go first, but you guys get a prep round. Remember, it’s an Action to get into the Cassowary.]

The shape of a SAMAS flew across the moon as it passed over the camp. It circled around and flew over again before veering off toward the southeast.

About ten minutes later, the glow of lights could be seen cresting the low hills as a Coalition Mark V APV rolled into view, followed by the towering form of a UAR-1, spotlights moving to illuminate the campsite, the SAMAS circling overhead.

Re: 4.2 Out in Force!

Post by Vik »

Vik rouses from his usual drunken stupor when the SAMAS buzzes the camp, the lizard part of his brain long accustomed to making life-saving decisions while practically unconscious.

"Up and at 'em, you daft dodgers, there's wanking nobs at the door!" he mumbles, stumbling to his feet while peering up at the power-armored scout. "Arse-breathed Nazi twats, if my scry-balls it to be believed, and a shed-load at that."

Wasting no time, Vik grabs his kit and throws it in the Cassowary -- but not without first giving himself a shot of the old Go-Go-Go-Go-Go! Juice from his Hype-Me-Up Hypo. Assuming no one objects, he settles in behind the controls of the Helios cannon, then pulls out his View-Master of Mastery and gives himself a crash course on cannonering.

Ryder's cybernetics had warned him about the approaching danger about the same time Vic started to roust everyone, so he was up and moving pretty quickly. As he gets the Cassowary online, he calls out to Thomas. "Picking up a UAR-1, a SAMAS and a Mark V APC, as well as... lots of ground troops. They're coming in hot, no time to play nice, it looks like. You want the Cannon on the Sammie or the UAR-1? SAMAS can catch up to us easier, but the UAR's got the range to lob missiles at us from downtown."

At first Bari is transfixed by the speed and grace of the flying machine/man. Having never seen the Coalitions power armor before he's unaware of the eminent danger until Vik speaks up. Soon everyone is in frantic motion packing up what they can and making for the Aeon Cassoway. The young dragon assumes his human form and hops in as well.

Thomas looks at the list of enemies generate already. "Vik is right, though I doubt he knows it. That UAR is the thing that scares me, the cannon is the only thing that will hurt it. While we have others who can potentially harm a SAMUS."

At the first sound of a SAMAS, Ash was already moving; grabbing her gear and abandoning her bedroll and personal effects as she scrambled into her armor and made for the Cassowary. Noisome, boundless terror was bubbling up from a seemingly endless source. The Coalition had found her at last.

Nevermind they were probably just as much after the others as her. They might not even have identified her. It didn't matter. She knew who they were.

While everyone got as much gear as they could stowed, and prepared, Ashley turned to face the ridge as the first lights appeared. Her heart sank to see the Enforcer. Even she would have trouble cracking that shell. Running was the only option...but the rail cannon on the giant robot had a hell of a range.

She concentrated on the field between herself and the Coalition forces. Immediately sparks and embers flared in the grasses and shrubs. Across a wide area, flames swiftly spread. Not the vaporizing plasma fire she was capable of though. No no, a much more sedate burn. Calculated to create a thick column of smoke between her friends and her enemies. The heat from the fires should throw off infrared optics too; she hoped.

Then Ash ran to the Cassowary and jumped inside. They had to go. Now.

Psionics to use Elemental Manipulation. Psionics 1d10!: [5] = 5 Wild 1d6!: [5] = 5
Using this with Elemental Fury to create a zone 12" across that will give cover to the Cassowary from the Enforcer and APC due to heat and smoke.

Round 1

The Mark V APV charged forward across the relatively flat ground of the southwest Minnesota prairie toward the Trailblazer’s camp as they loaded up into the Aeon Cassowary. The gunner on the laser turret opened up on the Cassowary, firing through the smoke. The laser hit them square, but not enough to get through the Cassowary’s armor.

The UAR-1 stomped after them, as well. It fired several missiles. The first impacted the Cassowary hard, and the second hit them as well, causing them to skid a little.
Ryder
First hit is 2 Wounds that need to be soaked, a Vehicle Critical Hits roll if you don’t soak both, and an Out of Control roll. Second hit is another Out of Control roll..
The SAMAS roared after the Cassowary as well, though it couldn’t reach a firing range yet.

[Ryder has some rolls to make for the Cassowary, and then it is the players’ turn.]

The more he thought of the situation the madder Thomas got, until eventually it started pouring from him like water from a fountain. "The goddamned Coalition again. Why can't they all just die, the useless hate filled Nazi. Every time we see them they are trying to murder us, and to make it worse when people act like it is only the command that is bad. That's BULLSHIT. I doubt a general is hanging out with a company here in the field. No they will be led by a lowly Captain. But does he go on his way minding his own business. No these Nazi's bags of shit have to mess with us. Charles retires and instead of it giving us a chance to operate safely we end up being ambushed at every turn..." The rambling annoyance goes on for a full 10 or 12 seconds before Thomas realizes no one is listening to him and brings himself together.

Taking 3 actions to shoot the Enforcer with the Helios cannon. The first action gets an additional shot due to Rapid Fire. No MAP due to Exalted Quickness. Long range is -4, reduced to -2 by the STS. Improved Stabilizers negate Unstable Platform. Shooting is 1d12 with a free reroll for each shot due to Greater Boost Trait.

"Ramming speed, if you please Master Ryder, only pointed in like the opposite direction of them goose-stepping wankers what's tryin' ta put it in our back end."

Settling in behind the controls of the main turret, he lets the magically-induced rush of competence wash over him like medical-grade speed.

"Time for a bit of the ol' razzle-dazzle, you skull-buggering arse-berries," he says, before squeezing the trigger and sending an eye-watering deluge of weaponized sunshine into the guts of the UAR-1. Each blast is dead-on, but the daylight-infused laser beams don't cause nearly as much damage as Vik was hoping for.

"Oy, Barry, give them consoles a peep and see if there's a dial what goes up to 11 somewheres. Them knobs in the stompy tin-man's a mite harder than what ol' Vik was anticipatin'."

Four hits with raises:
  • 21 damage, AP 20 = no effect
  • 28 damage, AP 20 = 1 Wound
  • 24 damage, AP 20 = Shaken (or 1 Wound if already Shaken)
  • 23 damage, AP 20 = Shaken (or 1 Wound if already Shaken)

As the UAR's missiles strike around the Cassowary, Ryder doesn't so much dodge the blasts as use them to propel the ride to the place he wants to be. As Vik takes over the Cannon, Ryder just focuses on keeping the Cassowary out of range of the rest of the CS guns.

There really wasn't much he could do to help in this situation. Even if the Aeon Casoways smaller gun had the range he was still learning to shoot and none of his psionic powers were of much use since they only helped him. Then an idea strikes. moving through the jostling interior he heads to the ladder leading to the roof climbing to just below the hatch. "Mr. Ryder, tell me when the flying man is getting close and I will jump out, get big, and smoosh him." he hollers to the trimadore operator.

Round 2

The UAR stumbled as it was blasted by the solar cannon, and one of the hits seemed to have been directly on the bridge.

[Enemies won initiative again]

The UAR continued to lumber after the Cassowary. Another volley of missiles flew toward the Cassowary. Two of the missiles slammed into the Cassowary again.
Ryder
First hit is 3 Wounds to Soak, 1 Out of Control roll, and if a Wound is not soaked, a Vehicle Critical Hit roll.

Second hit is 2 Wounds to Soak, 1 Out of Control roll, and if a Wound is not soaked, a Vehicle Critical Hit roll.
The SAMAS dashed after the Cassowary as well, but was still out of range to fire.

The Mark V rumbled over the prairie after the Cassowary, closing the distance further, but it was still not within range.

"Jack-booted, bird-beshited, pie-buggering gits," Vik curses, having failed to damage the UAR-1 in the way he had planned.

"Ryder, mate, ol' Vik's giving you the controls for a tick whilst he tries to knacker up a touch of ace in the hole, so t'speak," he says, letting loose the trigger of the Helios cannon while he digs into his toolbelt.

Quick as he can, Vik cobbles together an over-sized Energizer E-Clip, which he briefly clips onto the wiring serving the cannon. There's a flash of light accompanied by a brief digitized snippet of synths from "The Final Countdown" after which the cannon visibly pulses with energy.

"Here go, Barry-boy," he says, handing the techno-magicked gizmo off to the dragon. "Anybody needs a bit of extra smashy-bashy, give 'em a shot with that and they'll plow right through these tossers like ol' Tom plowed that ... well, um, story for another time, right."

Settling back into his seat, Vik pulls together a few more odds and ends which he fashions into a crystal-studded reticule not unlike his View-Master.

"Reckon I'll call this one the ol' Dubya-Dubya-Dubya, eh, Wondrous Widget of War?" he says, preparing to give himself a dose of expert soldiering know-how.

Shots with the Helios cannon are now at +6 damage.

"Smoke and fire aren't doing enough to hide us," Ashley reported. "And they're too far away for me to attack! I don't know if I could hurt an Enforcer regardless, but at least I could try..."

She shakes her head. "Sorry I'm not really pulling my weight here. Would it help if I handled some of the controls?"

Ryder calls back to Vic. "Roger that!" He gets the Helios Cannon controls on line, takes aim at the UAR-1, and then.... Calamity. Maybe it was the multiple missile blasts in close proximity. Maybe it was the unexpected kickback from the extra oomph Vic gave it. Or maybe it was just the fact that the Cannon itself is clearly experimental tech. Regardless, the end result is the same--the Cannon sends two beams out, missing the UAR-1 completely, and something inside pops, eliminating the auto-targeting system.

"Prosek's ballsack! Just once I'd like to take the Cassowary out and NOT have to spend days repairing one system or another.... She can still shoot, but it'll be a trickier shot without the internal gyroscopes."

Pacing in agitation and scowling at the rail guns range meter, the frustration of the hatchling is evident. "Stupid jerks! I need a gun that shoots far!" He feels helpless in their current situation, with every missile strike his fear for his friends grows. Maybe he should hop out and wait in ambush he thinks but realizes it's not a good plan. It might be minuets before the troopers reached him and the Cassoway may not have that long. Unsure of what to do, Bari waits and watches the range in the railgun controls.

"You've got them keen draconic peepers, Barry, call out some targets for me," Vik says, settling into the cannon turret again. He zaps himself with his cobbled-together Wondrous Widget of War and takes a deep breath before squeezing the trigger.

"Here ya go, ya manky batch of arse-gargling turtle-tossers," he says, before releasing the luminescence destruction of the solar cannon.

The explosions that follow are rather pretty -- the first shot knocks the UAR-1 slightly off course, the second pierces armor and the third looks to be fatal, barring some stoke of abysmal luck.

Three hits with raises. First hit: 25 MD, AP 24 causes an Out of Control roll; Second hit: 28 MD, AP 24 is a Wound and a Crit roll; Third hit: 41 MD, AP 24 is 4 Wounds and a Crit roll.

Round 3

The fist hit from Vik’s s hot on the UAR caused it to veer off course and carom off of a tree, but the pilot recovered with extreme skill, the giant robot even doing a little pirouette to keep its balance.

Unfortunately, it was slammed by a second beam from the solar laser, but the pilot was good, and he kept the UAR going after the Tomorrow Legion team.

But Vik’s third shot was massive, slamming into the chest of the UAR, leaving tremendous damage.

The last shot had definitely slowed the UAR, though it still continued after them. It opened up with both medium and light missiles now, obviously angry, but the missiles went wide.

The SAMAS roared closer, but was still not in range to fire his weapons.

The Mark V bounced over the terrain and one of the gunners opened up with lasers at the fleeing Cassowary, though the lasers missed.

Bari takes Vik's suggestion to heart and peers out a window to help assess the situation. With the UAR-1 tottering Bari focuses on the transport, looking at the terrain it's approaching and trying to anticipate a position that would leave it the most exposed.

Rolls

Three actions worth of Shooting (first one gets a second shot from Rapid Fire and an additional +1 from Barry's spotting). Three shots at the Mk V, one at the SAMAS. With the -2 from TD and +2 from Imp. Trademark Weapon, he's at 1d12+3, with free rerolls to hit (GBT), +6 damage (greater smite), +4 AP (Take Em Down) and free rerolls on damage (Imp. TED).

Shooting 1a 1d12!!+4: [5]+4 = 9 = Hit and a Raise
Shooting 1b 1d12!!+4: [11]+4 = 15 = Hit and a Raise
Wild 1 1d6!!+4: [8!!]+4 = 12

Shooting 2 1d12!!+3: [5]+3 = 8 = Hit and a Raise
Wild 2 1d6!!+3: [3]+3 = 6

Shooting 3 1d12!!+3: [8]+3 = 11 = Hit and a Raise
Wild 3 1d6!!+3: [2]+3 = 5

So, 3 hits with Raises on the Mk V, 1 hit with a Raise on the SAMAS.

Damage for each is 3d10+1d6+6, AP 24, with a free reroll.

Vs. Mk. V:
Damage 1: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [2, 5, 9]+[4]+6 = 26 = Keep. Causes an Out of Control roll.
Reroll Damage 1: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [2, 1, 2]+[1]+6 = 12

Damage 2: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [7, 8, 1]+[5]+6 = 27 = Keep. Causes an Out of Control roll.
Reroll Damage 2: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [2, 7, 5]+[2]+6 = 22

Damage 3: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [5, 7, 1]+[5]+6 = 24
Reroll Damage 3: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [4, 6, 15!!]+[5]+6 = 36 = Keep. Causes an Out of Control roll, 2 Wounds and a Critical Hit.

Vs. SAMAS:
Damage 4: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [7, 2, 2]+[11!!]+6 = 28
Reroll Damage 4: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [7, 1, 9]+[9!!]+6 = 32 = Keep. Causes 5 Wounds.
Vik watches in satisfaction as the UAR-1 wobbles and grinds to a halt as internal damage overwhelms its systems. As Barry calls out targets, he sets his sights on the Mk. V, unleashing a trio of blasts. All three connect, dead-on, although it's not clear how deeply any of them penetrated the transports thick armor. The strength of the solar cannon is significant enough to knock the Mk. V around some, at the least, which should complicate the driver's attempts to close the distance.

"Suck on that, you fascist wanks," he says, slapping Barry on the shoulder as the shots hit home. "Now see, Barry-boy, wanks like what runs around in Skeletor cosplay is like all sluggy of complexion underneath that armor, and a dose of Vitamin D slapped right across the face is like to bugger 'em back to mum's basement, chop-chop."

Seeing the lone SAMAS buzzing by, Vik squeezes off a final shot, causing the flying power armor to explode quite spectacularly.

"Oy, bit of a mess that. Left a bit long in the ol' hot box. Leave a smudge, he would, if he didn't vaporize before hittin' ground. Best not mention that one if the 'vironmental authorities come calling, eh Barry?"

  • Three hits on the Mk. V: The first two (26 damage, AP 24 and 27 damage, AP 24) each cause Out of Control rolls. The third (for 36 damage, AP 24) causes 2 Wounds, a Crit roll and an Out of Control roll.
  • One hit on the SAMAS for 32 damage, AP 24, causes 5 Wounds.

The Mark V took the hit from the solar cannon and veered off, the passengers distracted as they were thrown around, but managed to avoid serious damage.

The SAMAS wasn’t so lucky, and met his end in a fiery blast.

The Mark V continued to close the distance with the Cassowary, opening up with their lasers on the vehicle, but missed.

Bari cheers the destruction of the SAMAS and the shots on the Mark V. "Yeah!! You may suck bishop, stupid mankytwats!" Then he sees an opportunity arise, "Mr Vik, when their truck bounces after a rock the lasergun on top gets exposed... see look now! Like that, do you think you can hit it?"

The Elementals continue their flight towards the coalition forces. moving apart so as not to be grouped and raising a ruckus in the trees to alert the CS to the approach of invisible attackers perhaps in the woods!

Thomas looks having used s much power as he can risk for the moment and instead concentrates on directing the movements and actions of the summoned elementals through their own senses. Then pulling power into himself he creates subtle illusions and blips on in the woods making it seem as if more demons where raging in the woods!

Ryder continues to keep distance between the Cassowary and the Coalition troops. As he does, he calls out to Vik. "Bari's got the right idea. I'll map out the rig's route--figure out the best time to take the shot. Just watch for the light flashing on the cannon's control." Deftly, he maneuvers the Cassowary around a small boulder, then uses his connection to the vehicle's scanners to figure out the exact moment the Mark V will bounce and expose the laser turret.

Round 5

The Coalition commander of the Mark V looked through his binoculars, confused at seeing the illusions in the woods. “Demons?” he asked, unsure what to do. He shook off his indecision. “Continue after the vehicle,” he ordered

[Assuming Thomas wants Distracted, and the CS commander is Shaken, but he unshakes.]

The gunner on the lasers opened fire on the fleeing Cassowary, though the blasts went wide as the Cassowary veered clear.

ROUND 5 COALITION GOES FIRST!

The gunner fired his lasers again, managing to hit the Cassowary this time, but the armor blocked most of the damage.

[Ryder needs to make an Out of Control roll for being hit.]

Re: 4.2 Out in Force!

Post by Ndreare »

Leaving this as Ndreare so it does not artificially increase my post count.
But @Ryder should remembers his exalted boost trait with a raise on driving when rolling for the hit.
And @Vik and @Ryder boost have Ex Boost on Shooting w/raise.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Rolls
Three actions worth of Shooting. The first action will be a Called Shot (-4) at the Mk V's medium laser, taking advantage of the Support rolls from Bary and Ryder (+4). The second action will be two shots (Rapid Fire) at the Mk. V itself, and the third action another shot at the Mk V. With the -2 from TD and +2 from Imp. Trademark Weapon, he's at 1d12+3, with free rerolls to hit (GBT), +6 damage (greater smite), +4 AP (Take Em Down) and free rerolls on damage (Imp. TED). No MAP due to Exalted Quickness.


Called Shot Shooting 1d12!!+3: [6]+3 = 9 = Hit with a Raise
Wild 1d6!!+3: [4]+3 = 7

Shooting 2a 1d12!!+3: [6]+3 = 9 = Hit with a Raise
Shooting 2b 1d12!!+3: [7]+3 = 10 = Hit with a Raise
Wild 1d6!!+3: [2]+3 = 5

Shooting 3 1d12!!+3: [5]+3 = 8
Wild 1d6!!+3: [10!!]+3 = 13 = Hit with a Raise


Called Shot damage to Turret: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [3, 3, 8]+[4]+6 = 24 = 24 damage, AP 24 to the turret.
Free reroll: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [4, 7, 3]+[4]+6 = 24

Shot to Hull: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [9, 4, 4]+[3]+6 = 26 = 26 damage, AP 24 to the hull = Out of Control roll.
Free reroll: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [3, 5, 2]+[10!!]+6 = 26

Shot to Hull: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [8, 8, 7]+[3]+6 = 32 = 32 damage, AP 24 to the hull = 1 Wound, Crit roll and Out of Control roll.
Free reroll: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [6, 8, 9]+[2]+6 = 31

Shot to Hull: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [6, 1, 7]+[8!!]+6 = 28 = 28 damage, AP 24 to the hull = Out of Control roll.
Free reroll: 3d10!!+1d6!!+6: [8, 1, 7]+[3]+6 = 25
With both Barry and Ryder calling out targets, Vik zeroes in on the Mk. V's laser turret, blasting it as soon as the transport bounces over a hill. [Called Shot hit with a raise for 24 damage, AP 24 to the turret.]

For good measure, he squeezes off a burst of shots at the transport itself, knocking it about and maybe getting one good armor-penetrating shot. [Three hits with raises to the hull: 26 damage, AP 24 triggers an Out of Control roll; 32 damage, AP 24 is 1 Wound, a Crit roll and an Out of Control roll; 28 damage, AP 24 is an Out of Control roll.]

With the laser disabled making the Trailblazers safe from return fire Bari begins dancing around the cabin and singing. "Manky gits can suck butts! Manky gits can suck butts! Haha we did it!" He is thrilled that no one was hurt and even the Aeon Cassoway escaped unscathed. Despite his elation, his indecision early in the battle remains in the back of his mind. He needs to do better in the future, the lives of his friends could depend on it.

Thomas sees the last of the threat destroyed and looks around. "Status check, does everyone have all their parts still attached?"

Once hearing the report back from everyone he looks through the elementals eyes, as they cause havoc among the CS survivors, nothing lethal just an abundance of wind storms and air jetties to keep them off guard. "I think the CS are done with us for now. Lets hope they do not need to come back and say high."

Vik's mood goes from exultant to confused as the massed laser fire disables the Mk. V, but then the Cassowary continues running into the night.

"Eh, Ryder mate. You gonna circle back around? We just cracked us a loot-pinata back there, and Daddy is looking to buy 'isself some new silk pyjamas."

If the others seem opposed to returning to salvage the valuable CS gear of their defeated foes, Vik insists on at least calling it in to the Legion forces at Fort Hope.

"That's some Grade A-1 plunder in our back trail, and bloody rights of salvage is, like, of utmost clarity what those as put the holes in it has got the claim. Finder's fees, at least, is in the offing, I warrant. That is a thing in the ole Legion of the Morrows, innit, Tom? Commissions and the like? I mean, Barry's gonna need braces afore long, and them draconic dentist types ain't exactly volunteering is all."

Watching through the elementals eyes Thomas reports what the current status of the Coalition force is, then says. "Vik has a point. There is some excellent opportunities there for securing more resources.

"You never know when you will wish you had more credits for building up the the fort."
Or when you will have enough loot for your own retirement. Thinking to himself he finishes in his head.

Off in the distance you hear, "Parts?! What's left of them you mean! What in THE hell did you use to melt this thing anyway?"

With some squinting or magnification, you might notice movement of a small object moving around between large chunks of machinery. As it repeatedly tugs on something 3-4x its size, dragging it towards a larger pile of "junk," you hear further mutterings of "never in a million years going to get out of here on this hulk now...SERIOUSLY?! I don't even have one of those left...have to do everything myself...give a nice solar charge for some pockets..."

It's pretty far away for someone to have overheard you, much less be speaking to you but there doesn't seem to be anyone else around?

"Does anyone at least have a spare converter or three? I'm not walking the rest of the way! Yeah, you!"

GM Comment for Thomas
The CS forces aren't destroyed (except the SAMAS pilot), but simply immobilized. Most of the vehicles still have some functional weapons. So while the elementals might be able to harrass them, they can still hunker down into the vehicles until the spell wears out, they can use their electronic sensors to pierce the invisibility and take them out, or some kind of reinforcements arrive. Common Knowledge roll could get more information about CS protocol in these situations.

The elementals finally making it to the Coalition force Thomas is disappointed to see they are still very battle capable. "My Elementals have arrived and are harassing the Coalition force. But it looks like they are still putting up quite the fight. Lets figure out who is making this racket and then take advantage of our escape."

Thomas still maintain the spell for a few minutes out of spite. As soon as one of the Coalition vehicles is able to pierce their invisibility he sends the command to use the more taxing true invisibility. Releasing the elementals only after their power is exhausted.

The machine fell from the sky, pierced through some vital component. The wreckage was twisted upon impact, but largely together. I don't know who or what was watching us, but they have one less eye upon us. The brazenheaded elf signaled her companion forward. Behind her, to no one in particular, she whispered. "Remain here. I shall see if there is anything to learn in that pile of junk." Creeping towards the landing site, she holds an arrow half-taut in her bow. Again, at a low whisper, she addresses her cactus man companion, @Ryk. "Do you hear that? Flank right. I will circle left."
When her associate is in position, she bursts from behind a tree. Her bow is still at low ready, but not pointed directly at @duhtroll. "Who goes there and what...who...what are you? Ryk, hold your fire!"

Thomas looks over in the direction of the sounds. "No, I hear it too. Barinthasheer, want to check that out? I think you will make there faster flying than we will driving around obstacles. And try not to terrify them."

Bari perks up at the idea of something to do. "I will try not to frighten them Mr. Thomas, but many of you smaller folk scare easily. I just fly up and people start to run and scream." He climbs out the roof hatch and looks around to get his bearings. Seeing a smoking ruin of.. something, he peers through the darkness and spots several moving figures.

He gives an enthusiastic wave and turns on the loudspeaker in his helmet.

"Hello humanoids! I am Barinthasheer. Do not be afraid, I do not eat people."

Then the "young boy" leaps off of the Aeon Cassoway, transforming mid air into his draconic form and flying towards the commotion. His helmet remains in his dragon form, growing and shifting to fit and looking even more ridiculous with its flaming eyeball antennae bobbling as he flies.
"We are the 101st trailblazers, of the Tomorrow Legion. You do not look like Cee-Ess prats, who are you? Why do you have a bow? Is that robot thing your pet? I used to have a friend with a shadow spider pet."

"S'OK, not people!"

(looks up @Elennar ) "He talking to me or you? (back @Barinthasheer Oh, well, person, anyway?" (looks back at CS APC) "Nah...people, final answer."

It is amusing that every time the bot "looks" at anything in a different direction, it must "spin" in place. Rapidly, or the verbal timing just wouldn't work. You get the impression that the whirring gear noises when it moves are not necessary, but rather made deliberately.

The spiderbot is about the size of a small house cat, if house cats or houses are still things.

"Can someone with a better view tell me if any of these ridiculous looking carts is still worth piloting? Or barring that, give me a lift out of here? That's where I was headed...out... unless you think we have a few moments to relieve these bucketheads of a power supply first? OOOH! Can we drag that giant robot along? I could spend a weekend working on legs like that, IF you know what I mean!"

(if no immediate reply) "You know, enemy of my enemy and all that. Right?"

"OROME!" She spins quickly to face the dragon speeding towards her. "I shall see you slain...Tomorrow Legion?" He quickly clicks her radio, hoping that the long-unanswered Legion radio frequency will have an answer to this strange development. "Tomorrow Legion operatives. Answer me! I have refugees in tow and am beset by a dragon claiming allegiance to the Legion! Please respond!"
She moves to a position of cover, keeping both @duhtroll and @Barinthasheer in her field of fire. Addressing the small salvager: "The machine you're toying with was shot with my bow, and as a servant of the Tomorrow Legion, is mine by right of conquest. I am happy to relinquish my claim to it if you are willing to assist with the dispensation of this dragon, whether by violence or alliance." She puzzles briefly over the small bot. "You seem to exhibit sentience. You are not simply a robot, are you?"

(spins) "Uh, OK, but that machine was my ride. Now I need another and cabs prolly can't even find us out here, wherever "here" is. (spins) Dragon? Not to worry. He says he doesn't eat- (spins) Oh, right. I'll be under here." (puts flotsam between himself and all pointy and explodey things, muttering to himself about "if it's yours why did you break it?")

Hearing the woman's voice over the comms, Ryder blinks and double-checks the frequency before answering.
"This is Ryder, with the Tomorrow Legion. If you've got refugees, get your kiesters over here. There's a buttload of hostile Cee-Ess in the area, who've probably already radioed for back-up, and we need to get your civvies clear of the danger.

"Speakin' of that noise..." He checks his sensors, and confirms the other voice is clearly not with whoever is escorting the refugees. He also starts analyzing the other info he can get from his sensors. "@Barinthasheer, tell that--wait, these signals, that's a bot, ain't it? Okay, tell that robot to follow you back, we'll give it a ride out of here, at least."

Turning his head towards the interior of the Cassowary, he calls out. "Okay, folks, we all know the drill. We've got civvies inbound, probably need to double- or triple-up. Get yourselves ready to get cozy."

Finally, he looks to Thomas. "Sorry if I stepped outta line speakin' for the group, Boss, but I'm basically repeatin' the orders you've given every other time we got in this kinda sitch."

Ryk glances back at the refugees behind him before finally lowering his Peacemakers to his sides. After a brief pause, he puts one of the firearms in its holster and proceeds to draw his arm upward towards his face to tug on the brim of his hat, though more as a symbol of acknowledgement than anything else. Still gazing forward and in silence, he communicates to @Elennar :
"If the CS are around, we better take off. As much as I'd love to put a bullet through each of their heads, I don't think the refugees would want to be the audience of that kind of performance."
He then shifts his gaze away from Elennar and the refugees, as if he had seen something out of the corner of his eye.
"Also Elennar, if this 'Ryder' asks to speak to me over the radio, just tell 'em I forgot my tongue at home. Hopefully he'll understand."

Flying to the scrap pile, he lands with a thump and peers at it. @duhtroll "Mr. Robot person... you may want to come with us. We can take you away from the Cee-ess-prats, saving people is what we do." The dragons tone is friendly and somewhat childlike. He reaches out and lifts the debris aside. "Oh!

Elennar grins at @Ryk. "It is a strange new world, friend. I am certain Ryder will understand." She calls out to @duhtroll. "Robot, if you are not constructed by the Coalition, then it would behoove you to come with us. It appears we are beset on all sides. Bring what you can of those parts and let us begone." She waves to the trees behind them, gesturing unexpectedly towards the dragon. "We have transport waiting! Orome be praised! Double quick, now! Ryk, retrieve your flying steed and let us rendezvous with Ryder." He clicks her radio to confirm @Ryder's transmission. "Acknowledged, Master Ryder. I confess relief at not having to hurt a dragon's feelings. That sounds like an unpleasant affair. We are inbound with refugees. My companion has a hovercycle, and we have just met a robotic salvager who will be accompanying us. I look forward to our meeting. Out." She turns towards the Cassowary, bringing up the rear of the crowd to ensure all are accounted for.
Reflexively, she startles a little at the dragon's landing. In Elven, she addresses @Barinthasheer. "Great One...I am delighted to find that we are not enemies. I am called Elennar, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. We would be happy to follow you to your transport."

Upon removal of the makeshift cover, the spiderbot looks around at all of the participants and wonders aloud, "Wait a sec, I'm the strange one here? OK then, giddyup!" He very quickly crawls up whatever appendage on the dragon is closest, carrying whatever his repair roll allows him to confiscate just prior to leaping.

OOC: Which BTW I do not understand how dice rolls work in PBP so I'll accept a GM roll for now, if even needed, and can make them in the future if that is the SOP.

@Barinthasheer "You'll forgive if I am quiet around folks asking if I am sentient. I've been kinda avoiding that conversation for weeks with my previous hosts. I'd rather not let them know I can see all their private files and may or may not have publicly shared them over their intranets.
Oh, side note -- we should have a break later tonight as several interesting conversations should be happening around their base camp.

So...you're a dragon? How's that working out for you?"

Thomas thinks to himself what a waste for new mouths to waste resources. It seemed like half the refugees we found were useless and only a quarter of them where properly useful. "Oh no Ryder. You did the right thing. We are the legion after all and helping people is what we do."
