((As a suggestion for the droid's laser, rather than them being inaccurate, which doesn't make sense on an immobile mechanical platform, plus being a laser, it could have high diffusion/bloom, which means the beam dissipates after a short while, making it useless as a weapon, [or possibly make it a cutter of several low-power lasers that converge at one point to make a cutting point, and else where the individual lasers are too low-power to make a decent weapon. Or both. While I appreciate this isn't hard sci-fi, that just seems more logical to me. Feel free to ignore this, though, if you want to.))

((I agree with this idea. I mean, an inaccurate laser wouldn't be much good for anything.))

"Selina! Shit!"
Wait impatiently for my turn.

[RangerCado]

"Get away you deranged monkey thing!" Selina attempts to shoot the massive beast thats attacking her!

[TealNinja]

"Selina! Shit!"
Wait impatiently for my turn.

(Apologies, I meant that the turn order was those two first.  The other players can post actions, however you're likely to act after the 'beasts.'  I'll run Ranger's and Patrick's turns now, though.)

(The diffusion is actually what I meant by "inaccurate," I'm just horribly unfamiliar with laser technology so the words evaded me.  The second part of that actually sounds better, as multiple low-power lasers would probably be more energy efficient overall.  So we'll go with that.)

Combat

Harvey aboutfaces to bear his rifle on the monster that had nearly hit him, before firing a pair of shots towards it.  The first one nearly skins the creature, but Harvey quickly adjusts his aim, and the second shot impacts on its torso.  Its entire body recoils, with a red searing hole in its hide.  Greenish brown blood seeps out of the hole, however it remains standing.

Selina recovers from the assault and brings her own rifle to target the creature squarely.  She fires two shots in quick succession, the first hitting it in the 'shoulder' joint, and the second in the head.  It collapses in a pile, smelling foully of burnt blood.

Harvey, Carl and Selina can tell that the beast Harvey is fighting is nearly dead.  Serina is too distracted.

Serina is next to act.

[Taricus]

Next target, put another two rounds in the one that hasn't been engaged yet!

[GreatWyrmGold]

The first one nearly skins the creature...

((Um...do you my any chance mean merely skins the creature or something? Maybe skims or something, instead of skins?))

Charge at them. Attack a beast that is near enough to Selina to attack with the blades on my exoskeleton.

(Yes, absolutely skims.  I'm having an off week for getting the particular words I want.  Odd, though, that for this issue the word I came up with at least sounded the same as what I wanted...  Also, just a reminder that melee deals less average damage and is less likely to hit.)

Combat

Even with the chaos swirling around Serina and the powerful blow the creature struck with, she manages to grab her rifle and fire a shot before being attacked again.  The shot goes wild, missing the creature entirely, but as it charges into her again, she get's another shot off in time, striking it in its 'chest,' slowing it down and weakening the power of its attack.  It does, however, connect with Serina, dealing 5 damage.

Carl, however, charges the other beast near Selina, interrupting it as it was making another assault.  He intercepted the attack, intending to strike it with his blade, but instead clumsily overran it, knocking it around.

The creature in front of Harvey bounded towards him, but with some quick thinking and sharp movements, Harvey managed to avoid its attack.  While he was dodging the creature, he noticed two more of the creatures emerging from the jungle line.  Serina notices Harvey's distraction and tracks his eyes to the jungle, also seeing the two.

The Tyop Crew saves the day again!

[Taricus]

Keep up the fire!

((I think you may be confusing Cado and I more than a few times though ))

(After this fight, you're going to be Ms. Martin and Ms. Talv.  Not going through this again!  I suppose it'll be moot when one of you dies though.  Although, other than the ridiculous awkwardness of my post, I don't see any issues?  It was targeting Serina.  There was 1 on Harvey, 2 on Selina (one of which is dead), and 1 on Serina.)

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I was also confused...))

[Taricus]

((You missed an attack action from me earlier then, just pointing that out :/))

[TealNinja]

((You missed an attack action from me earlier then, just pointing that out :/))

(Oh, update prior to last.  Well, crap.  I'll give you a +2 to hit for the next update.)

[RangerCado]

((...My head is spinning from all the name stuff.))

Selina fires again at the monsters attacking her.
