(GM OOC: Pretty tired, so less detail than I wanted to put in. First combat!)
Carl watches over the Droids as they cut their way into the droppod with their industrial lasers (which are not suitable for combat. They have a long charge-up time and are inaccurate.) Serina and Harvey patrol around the droppod, watching for activity in the jungle. As the sun dims, the plant changes colour from green to a more yellowy shade.
Selina begins piling fallen plants for a fire and shoots it with her laser rifle, igniting them. A thin trail of smoke rises into the air.
Harvey hears some rustling, but is incapable of pinpointing where. Both Harvey and Serina hear a very quiet buzzing noise. Branches snap loudly, and Harvey wheels towards the sound, bearing his Laser Rifle towards a grotesque creature charging into Selina.
The creature's green skin looks stretched over its body, with four segmented limbs running against the ground. Its head bears some similarity to an Earth mosquito, although its lack of antennae and presence of large mandibles disuades the similarities. The creature's relative size is about equal to that of a wolf, though its appearance is effectively synonymous with a bug.
Harvey fires a shot at the creature before it barrels into Selina, but it singes the ground next to the creature. Its limbs punch into Selina, dealing 4 damage. It then bounds off a few feet away from her, preparing for its next strike.
Immediately after this attack, Serina, who had recovered her wits quickly, fires her own attack at the creature, but her shot also goes wide.
Three more creatures of similar, though not quite the same, appearance also emerge into the clearing. One charges Harvey, but overshoots and misses him completely. Another one charges Serina, faring better, tackling her and dealing 8 damage. The fourth creature, tailing behind the others, hisses and follows the same course as the first; it practically leaps onto Selina, striking her for an additional 4 damage.
Everyone also notices the presence of many small insects, similar to grasshoppers in appearance, hopping on top of everything in the clearing.
Harvey and Serina act first.
