Try it again, trying to get into a position to cut his arm off or escape. If either of these opportunities present themselves, do it.
[Ivan end roll:6]
You ignore the fact that you're slowly being choked to death by a 4 armed psychopath and focus on lifting your arm, getting your hand laser into position to fire. Little by little your hand struggles shakily upward till you're pointing your finger straight at his arm.
[Con wep roll: 1+1-1]
You try to close your hand, to complete the firing circuit and shoot, but something in your ruined arms refuses to let you.
As you struggle and fail to fire two men round the corner of the building and see you and your attacker. One with a laser rifle raises the gun to fire when both suddenly stop and seem to twitch with pain, dropping to their knees. The man without a rifle rises shakily back up, clutching at his helmet, while the rifleman remains immobile. The seemingly unarmed man takes a couple steps toward you when the man with the rifle stands and opens fire...on the other man. The unarmed man ducks and dodges, the laser scoring glancing blows but never puncturing the suit. The Unarmed man runs toward the rifleman, trying to deliver a blow to the head but the rifleman ducks and brings his weapon around, clobbering the other man with the butt of the rifle.
The unarmed man falls to the ground and the rifleman finishes him off with a burst of invisible fire to the back of the head. Then the rifleman slowly walks away, toward the entrance of the temple and into whatever lies beyond it.

You gasp and grunt, your last breaths failing. Darkness is closing in.
Grab what looks like the creatures face with the Kinetic Amplifier, and squeeze.
You grab what you think is the things head-it has lots of eyes at least-and squeeze. [uncon wep roll:3+1] The bulbous, eye ball studded protrusion squishes like an overripe peach in your hand. The altered creature gurgles from some unseen orifice and collapses. You don't even have time to admire your work as a massive praying mantis like thing skitters into the trench and charges toward you.
(I warned you to keep your eyes on it, Irony... >.>)
Jim decided to end this in a decisive manner by grabbing Milno from behind and executing a release German suplex.
((I am happy. It is the first time I see Jim having to roll for endurance since he got that body.))
"Well, you are still way softer than I expected."
Milno attempts to dodge the tin man's next attack and then throw a punch at Jim's throat.
[Jim dex roll:1]
[Milno dex roll:1-1]
Both combatants charge for each other, leap into the air and...crack their heads together like god damn idiots.
[Milno end roll:6-1]
[Jim end roll:5]
They don't even seem to notice as their skulls knock off one another's like billiard balls. Perhaps they are both the illegitimate children of goats?
