Battle 2: Round 17Artillery West:Drag Tig004 through the fence.
You are aware that this one is about to go up as well, aren't you? Well, either way, you get Tigr004 into the enclosure with you.
oh, looks like you are it for artillery west. Time to roll for explosions.
Artillery West Death Rolls:(4) nope. It doesn't kill you all this round.

Chew gum and ensure my gun is fully loaded.
"Like, if it's not broke, y'know?"
...
Really? I gave you a fancy hat and everything. (6) well, damn. You get pretty comfortable ... sooo comfortable. Hell, you fall asleep in there. Gonna try and wake up, or think you'll ride out the battle like this?

Character Points:
Character Traits:
Rank: Private
Kills: 10 support bugs
Death: 1
K/D ratio: 0.5?
Death Log:
Mar001 died to being bitten in half after being healed.
(how many support bugs equal a regular kill?)
Charge up the command bunker and help assault the command room.
(2) you attempt to follow CAH003 up to the fourth floor, but get clobbered on the third floor. You fire off a shot at the guy who hit you and wound him pretty good.
((just track them separately. But, what I did was roll a number of bugs to die when someone rolled a 3 or higher. For a 5, it was d6 + 2 I think. I might have been inconsistent though. Check the rolls. So on an average roll of 3.5+2, it would be 5.5 bugs per regular kill))

A Jag doesn't sit out of battle while his comrades die, instead he draws his two sidearms, cuts a nearby tarp into poncho, chews his gum and charges into the battle for floor 3 like a dual wielding badass in a spaghetti western.
Yes of course he does. the tarp is even burning a little at the edges, so he is smoking a bit as he makes his entrance. (2) you shoot, but miss. Well, this floor is going down, one way or another! Or ... hopefully not literally.

Quick! Up the stairs again and start chucking grenades while the Other Guys are distracted.
((Sorry for missing that turn, not that it mattered in this case.))

Communicate to my squad mates via sign language that we should join the assault on the command bunker. Join the assault on floor three. Treat the bad guys like support bugs, and gut them via my bayonet.
(2) you wave at the various fools stumbling about, digging their fingers into their ears, to no avail. no one sees you. Ah well, time to go kill someone. (3) you charege up teo floor three just as The Other Guys
TM are starting to regroup. You thrust your bayonet, but it is deflected.

(6) you run on up to the third floor and right into a squad of The Other Guys
TM. You shoot one of them dead, but are surrounded, and will take two death rolls this round. Here's hoping that armor holds up.
Floor 3 Death Rolls:Mar002 is shot and killed
Hat008 gets burned by the falmethrower guy. He gets a serious wound, but no burn counter.
HC003 is likewise shot in the battle
Zii008 is protected by his armor. Strike that armor through so I know it has taken a hit.
Floor 4Swing my arms wildly as I attempt to bite the necks of several enemies in the first room of Floor Three.
The artillery housing explodes violently. it shakes the entire combat zone: bunker, both artillery units, quad, what's left of the wall. [Turn skipped]

Inventory: Gun, helmet, backpack, gum.
Rank: Private
Overall Stats:
Kills: 5
Deaths: 2
Kill/Death Ratio: 2.5
just gonna try and skip floor three eh? (6) you get up, dodging through the combat that has begun on floor three and rushing up the stairs to floor four. You are alone, exposed, and facing opposition. There is a hot wind blowing from the left, where a wall and ceiling used to be. You raise your gun, try to control your breathing and (1) -click- That's a problem. What did you do? gotta fix that shit quick!
Floor 4 Death Rolls:(4) CAH003 takes some disorganized laser fire from The Other Guys
Tm and gets winged a bit. It's pretty minor though.

Rank: Corporal
Gruuuuunt! Gruuuunt! Get me a medic you useless waste of flesh!
Start limping towards the Quad.
I'm not even rolling for him hearing you or not. He doesn't. Wait, let me rolls something else: (6) well, yes, that is what you shout.that, and numerous semicreative curses. Looks like that standard grunt curseword training course is paying off. By the way, those serious wounds should have the [burnt] tag. (2) anyway, you limp two steps and fall down, right next to the corpse of the flamethrower guy. good news is, you started in the quad, so you succeeded with a failed roll.
Designation: CW004 'K'
Platoon: 6 (formally
Unit type: Cyborg Artillery
Health: Cyborg limbs. Left limb damaged.
status: Deafened (0/1)
inventory: gun, helmet, 2x Integrated Laser Arms, 5x Large Ballistic Units, 3x Guided Missiles
character points: Chimera First Aid, "Eat me! Eeeeaaaat meeeee!" "Rig the bodies," "We'll call it a draw"
character traits: nope
Unlocked classes: Grenadier, Artillery
rank: Private
Note to self: (Just so I can remember what I can do)
Artillery: Fires ballistic and guided long-range, high angle attacks. standard ballistic ammo is unlimited. Carries 5 large ballistic units, for attack against buildings nad transport, and 3 guided missiles, for long range, accurate shots. Generally will require a spotter on location, or otherwise able to transmit firing coordinates.
Cyborg: A standard laser is built into each arm, but must be deployed to activate, and cannot be deployed while the launchers are active.
You have 2 layers of armor, the ability to lift about 2 tons, or carry about 1 ton, and are capable of running about 20 mph, and leaping about fifty feet horizontally or twenty vertically. You have integrated communications equipment in your head, and multiple wavelength eyes - just select normal, infrared, UV, or lowlight.
So I'm editing my action because as it turns out I completely misread the turn.
This:
1.) Switch to infrared vision and survey the area for hostiles. And determine where I am.
2a.) If I'm near the other wounded people and there are other enemies outside, deploy lasers, and protect area.
2b.) If I'm by myself and there are enemies outside, retreat to higher less-explodey ground, fire small ballistics at them.
2c.) If I'm by myself and there are no enemies outside, switch to regular sight and try firing a large ballistic at the barrel of Artillery West. Try to avoid making the whole thing explode.
apparently, you are still misreading the turn, since you are trying to switch to infrared. You do so, and HOLY SHIT! SHIT"S ON FIRE, YO! Like, fully half of your line of sight is burning. You doubt strongly that there are any hostiles in there. Now, as for determining where the hell they are: Wel, you already know that there are none in the quad, since it was pretty well teeming with your fellow Grunts - the fleshy ones, not like you in your glorious metal body. So where could they be? (4) the command bunker! yes. that is a worthy target indeed.
But first: You switch back to normal vision and look over at the part of the compound
not currently on fire. (3) You fire a large grenade at the artillery unit. it deflects a bit, but the explosion still damages the housing, so that unit is at 2/3 destroyed.
Oh, and I need to make a minor correction. Your damage taken was absorbed by one layer of armor, so you have one layer left, and your limbs are fine.

((I'm on 006 now, which means I go up to Corporal and unlock a new class, right? Let's unlock Comms.))
Get to floor 1, and establish a connection with the brass.
I have no idea why I chose that, that sounds so boring. For now respawn as point man, and I'll figure out the class to unlock later.
Okay, point man it is. You enter the gate and look around. There's fire to the left, a big ol' gun to the right, a command center, partially deconstructed, to the front, and you are stuck in the middle with these fools.
Would like to Join!

Keep chewing gum and looking for an Other GuyTM to kick their butts. (Since we're at it, also look for a gun). Maybe That WayTM I might find some.
(1)Moving that maimed arm causes you great pain. You black out for a minute. Hmm, take an internal bleeding counter: 0/5. Tick it up each round, but remind me to roll each round as to whether it abates or not.
