Coral Highlands

Nergigante's first action after declaring its presence is to charge toward Kraken! His gunfire chips and cracks the toughened spines on the creature's exterior, but it will strike for massive damage next turn unless stopped or dodged!

Cell's Lightspeed guards Saejik for a moment - which is good, because the dragon shoots a glance toward him and starts stretching its wings out. Nergigante will become airborne and go for a diving strike on Saejik next turn!

The Renown's gunnery crews report that the main battery is charging and a targeting solution is nearly complete.

Brynn

With not much else to do but wait and prepare, Brynn heads over to the Smithy to see if they have any gear the party can use.

Even with the comfortably growing haze of rage clouding his mind, Kraken knew that he couldn't really take being tackled by a multi-ton beast covered in spikes. Doing his best to keep the beast's attention he gave a yell as he tossed a grenade up over it's head, hopefully disrupting its attempt to fly with the blast, and then moving parallel to the dragon as he focused on sending hot lead towards the wings, if not staggering it, then maybe at least making it redirect it's wrath towards the already moving target he presented.

Kraken uses Frag out, Then Rapid Fire, And finally Take Cover. Berserk 7, Dodges all attacks this turn, stunned next turn.

IP

IP tries to check the marketplace, armories, or smithy to see if there's a bigger gun available that she (or the other members of the team) could use.

Any forms of protection against attack, like armor, are also what IP looks out for.

Hmm, guess I need a better distraction.

There's an idea I always wanted to try..

I still have 7 slots for additional items.  Try to fill them with sunlight.  Or firelight, if it's overcast.

Newton fills his inventory with the nice sunlight. It's, uh, not very intense, but he can technically shine like pleasant sunny weather for a few seconds.

The shops have an assortment of basic weapons and armor. "Basic" in this case includes such things as a transforming axe, a different transforming axe that seems much more complicated, and, of course, swords that really should not be swingable by a human. The armor is less remarkable, though, being mostly leather and steel designed for ease of movement over protection. They also carry some kind of gun-crossbow hybrids and ammo for them.

There's also a smithy on one of the upper levels, though you'd need to provide materials and money.

Seeing Nergigante looking straight at him, Saejik's first instinct is to dive for cover.  But he's... reasonably confident in Cell's ability to keep him safe.  And he's absolutely sure that ceding the initiative to the giant creature will not be tactically sound.

"We strike together!"  He declares instead, "We will show this... thing that no amount of wild brutality is a match for civilized discipline.  Against us, it has little chance."

Saejik uses Lead From the Front, giving himself, Cell, and Kraken +20 temporary HP and +6 attack damage for 3 rounds!  It will be on cooldown for 5 rounds.

The turbolaser strike will arrive next round.

Coral Highlands

Kraken deftly dodges the incoming strike like an experienced Heavy Bowgunner, all without letting up on his offensive pressure. Cell does successfully distract Nergigante; unfortunately his lack of evasion does result in an unpleasant-looking splat as the dragon crashes down on him. Fortunately, the motivation from Saejik is able to stop him from passing out, and he gets to see the spray of charred scales erupt as a sheet of green light slams into it. The beast, evidently having elected to hunt elsewhere, roars at the group, then flees into the air, winging its way toward a (very) distant and large crystalline formation.

Brynn
"Ah, how troublesome..." Brynn muttered to herself once she was made aware of what should've been obvious from the beginning. Materials were one thing, but of course they'd need money as well. Which, as far as she knew from her short time with them, the crew had none. She excused herself from the Smithy for the moment and returned to the Commander.

"Dear Commander," She begins, "Might it be a bother if we requested a stipend of your local currency to make preparations with? I would use my own wealth, but I know not how your economy functions, nor if what is valuable where I hail from is still regarded as such here."

Kraken

The mercenary quickly pops up, doing a quick look around before finally determining that the threat was running. With a sigh he relaxes some. "Well, given that that thing isn't dead.... I think we should report back to base and tell them about it." Kraken pauses and looks back at their initial target. "Uh... Guess they'll want this thing as well. You guys think I can carry it?"

Once the explosive creature had made clear its intention Cell pulls out a bottle of crackling ochre liquid and takes a swig, causing dented plates and cracked motors to mend themselves across his body.  He takes a second to breathe and them puts away the bottle.

"Good fight, agreed."

He gives the dead and half-crushed Legania a look over at Kraken's question and then pulls out his axe-like shortsword.

"Not whole, but can't weigh much if it flies.  Gut and bleed and break down first."

Cell attempts to break down the Legania to rid useless weight before they return to camp with as much carcass as possible.

"We could probably spare some, yes. I'll let the Smithy know to take it out of our reserve funds. A team retrieved a few of the parts that broke off from that Rathian, so we'll have those delivered too."

Huh, well that worked.  Now to put this to use..

Round up the kids, including the yellow-shirted one who enjoyed the waterslide earlier, and see if I can get them to chase after me in a game of tag.  Use the shining light thing to lead them on and to try and get them more excited.

Once they're all fired up, try to get them to overrun another shopkeeper.

Try to take advantage of the confusion to snag a weapon.

With a shrug, Kraken removes his belt to help truss the creature so he could carry it back.
