OOC: You may have notice the glaring error in Round 5.  I mixed up Kri'lik and S'Krllk.  Since Baralou was nowhere near Kri'lik, I meant that she actually shot S'Krllk for 21 dmg, not Kri'lik.  Please make that correction.  (That means S'Krllk has suffered a total of 33 dmg so far, leaving just 7 STA, unless he has a protective suit.)


ROUND 6

S'Krllk is reloading his laser pistol when he sees Baralou aiming at him.

Yag fires three times, hitting Baralou twice. (29 dmg)

Baralou fires, making two impressive shots directly on S'Krllk.  (1 shot was a critical hit.  S'Krllk takes 39 damage.  Unless I'm mistaken, that reduces him to -32 STA.  He is thus unconscious and on the brink of death.  Staydol is required within 1 minute to prevent him from dying.)


Kuurn fires past the retreating Desi, hitting the ice cutter robot twice.  (88 dmg)

Desi runs back into the room, dropping a tangler grenade just as she presses the button for the door to close.

She escapes harm this round, and the door closes before the robots can give chase.  The only exception is the gorilla robot, which is fast and slender.  It jumps through the doorway, tackling Desi.  You hear the blast of the tangler going off behind the door but do not know the effects.

The gorilla robot knocks Desi's weapon from her hand and is grappling her on the ground.  Shooting at it could very likely hit her.

Also, although a tangler went off, the security door is not locked.  Someone needs to lock it to be sure to get warning before more robots burst through.

And don't forget about helping S'Krllk in the next few rounds.  One more hit from gun or grenade and he's a goner even with Staydol.

(NOTE: I allow Staydol to revive up to negative STA.  So a 40 STA character can get to -40 STA and still be revived.)

Seeing the Vrusk slump over, Yag decides to fire three more shots at Baralou in hopes of finishing her off. Then he can worry about helping his unconscious friend.

12:12, Today: Yagrith rolled 41 using 1d100. shot #1.
12:12, Today: Yagrith rolled 65 using 1d100. shot #2.
12:12, Today: Yagrith rolled 87 using 1d100. shot #3.
12:13, Today: Yagrith rolled 10 using 2d10. dmg shot #1.

It appears that one shot hits, doing 10 damage.

Base to hit with gyrojet: 48
STA: 22
Skeinsuit STA left: 14
Ammo left in weapon: 2 shots

Dr. Kri'lik's attention is focused upon Desiraye and the door she just closed so for the moment he does not know that S'Krllk has fallen. The Professor quickly moves to lock the closed door via its door controls in hopes to keep the rest of the bots out of the room. While moving to the door he calls out to Desi, "Do you have an albedo screen active?" he says as he points his laser pistol at the gorilla rec-bot. If she says yes he fires...

"Yes, it's active," Desi yells out to Kri'lik.

Did Desi decide what to do?  I know you were going between two options.

OOC: Can I go with defending or getting it off of me?

ROUND 7

Kri'lik hits the emergency lock on the security door.

Desi performs a wrestling maneuver and manages to push off the gorilla robot.

Kri'lik fires, hitting the gorilla robot twice.  It launches to its feet, and then rolls off to the side, disappearing into the smoke that covers the room.  It is somewhere to the western side of the room, and although its thermal cameras can see you, it is invisible to you.

You hear a sound from outside the door.  It is the sound of that ice cutting torch cutting through strands of a tangler grenade.


Yag fires, hitting Baralou once.  (10 dmg.)  Baralou is now so wracked with wounds that you can see her metallic undercarriage and frame glinting.

Baralou fires at Yag, hitting him once.  (16 dmg.)

S'Krllk is still unconscious and fading fast. (-3 hp per round until bandaged.)

Desiraye gets to her feet while picking up her laser rifle and goes to find where Baralou is and try and help finish him off.  She will go where she hears gyrojet fire (Gyrojet Weapons:2).

Now that she's free, she can do whichever you prefer, even picking up the old weapon to attack.  Due to movement across the room and getting up, she will be the last with initiative when she gets to Baralou's room, including potential attack by the gorilla robot.

OK, changed post.  Going with what has been working

Yag sees the life seeping out of S'Krllk and realizes he is running out of time and ammo. With only two rounds left in his gyro pistol, that is all he can fire this turn. He tries to finish off Baralou once and for all:

14:59, Today: Yagrith rolled 16 using 1d100. Yag shot #1.
14:59, Today: Yagrith rolled 63 using 1d100. Yag shot #2.
14:59, Today: Yagrith rolled 14 using 2d10. Shot #1 dmg.

[Note: -10% to hit for short range and another -10 for being at < half STA, but that first one should still hit the mark.]

After firing he tosses down his gun and tends to the unconscious Vrusk.

Base to hit with gyrojet: 48
STA: 6
Skeinsuit STA left: 14
Ammo left in weapon: EMPTY!

[Post edited to correct that Yag only has 6 STA left]

ROUND 8
Yag fires again, and Baralou's damaged body slumps to the ground.  As Yag tends to S'Krllk, he hears a loud thump.

For Desi, the sound of the thump is punctuated by the impact of the gorilla robot slamming into her, once again knocking her to the ground.  This time, it pummels her in the face.  (14 dmg)

You still hear the sounds of cutting from the far side of the security door.

Yag also sees blinking from the computer against the far wall where Baralou had been standing.  She had been doing something before the final showdown.

S'Krllk is conscious again.  (1 STA after a dose of Staydol.)

With the Doc conscious again, Yag reloads his pistol and then heads to the computer to check out the blinking light. He figures Baralou was up to something and wants to find out what it is.

"Doc, you might want to give yourself some first aid. I think Desi and the rest of the gang are going to need some help out there."

Yag sees a bar inching across the screen.

Underneath is written:

Deleting...96%

Cancel?  YES/NO

Yag presses the 'cancel' button as fast as he can.

Not wasting anytime, Desiraye goes for her laser pistol and fires [2] 4SEU shots into it.

STR/STA: 65/58
DEX/RS: 60/60

PUNCHING DAMAGE: 7
CURRENT STA: 40/58

Desi's two shots find their mark, and the gorilla robot rolls off her even
before anyone else can get to her through the darkness.

Yag touches "cancel" on the screen.  The following appears:


DELETION INTERRUPTED
UNRECOVERABLE FILES = 96%


The cutting of the tangler grenade outside appears to be nearing completion.  As you recall, there are two robots remaining out the, the ice cutter and the radioactive engine maintenance robot.

You also remember the life support systems are shutting down.

Kicking the robot off of her for good as she stands and reloads her laser pistol with a fresh magazine/clip.  She looks to Doc as she comes out of the smoke, "We're going to be in a world of deep crap in a couple of minutes if we don't stop these robots coming through the door Doc.

I don't know who's alive over here but, Sergi didn't make it, he's dead.  The robot who killed him is trying to get through that door right now!

Kuurn!  You got any Tangler grenades?  I got five of them and don't want to go too heavy on the explosives.  I got some frags if we can slow the robots up and one of 'em has a piece of radioactive hand or pipe on it.

Who's working on the life support?"

S'Krllk makes a rattling noise, perhaps some kind of moan, and drags himself towards the computers. Weakly, he mumbles something about telling the robots to stand down.

Yag gets on the computer. First he tries to see if there is any robot control program, and whether he can get access to it.

Kri'lik's mandibles click together in slight confusion as he hears Yag calling S'Krllk 'Doc'. I guess in the heat of the moment a Vrusk looks like any other to a non Vrusk.

Checking his laser pistol again and upping the setting to 10 SEUs he nods to Desi indicating he is ready for whatever comes through that door. "We need help in here, company is headed our way!" The professor says as the ice cutter burns its way through the door.

"How is everyone?" He says as he has not taken his eyes off the door and the robots beyond it as of yet.

If the robots show themselves he fires twice at the closest one, otherwise he will begin to work his way to S'Krllk to start first aid...

Seriously, is S'Krllk not a Doc as well? Could have sworn both Vrusks were medically trained.

After this adventure is over with, maybe we should change our tags for our PC's so that we can see who has what speciality?

i.e. Desi would be; Corporate Investigator on on line and the next would be 'Military PSA'

S'Krllk is primarily a technician.  Kri'lik is the doctor.

"Negative!!!  Only my blaster rifle.  What's happening back there. Is Baralou down?" say Kuurn, crouching behind the downed security bot, glancing back and forth between the door into M11 and the rest of the party at M15.
