Well, that worked.
I walk close to the box but make sure to not touch it, and renew my gravity reduction. If (and only if) it worked, then I'll try to jump over the box without touching it. If I do end up touching it I immediately get off it and away from it as fast as I can, but if possible I'd like to regroup with my teammates.
Most of your teammates are well ahead of you, close to the hexa-bot. You settle down and try to regain psuedo-flight, by reducing your weight.
(3+2) (9+3) Not this time. Ahri feels the spell misfire, shooting out behind her before she can gather and shape the energy into one effect. It arcs up into the sky, hitting nothing but air. While the fighting is going down, she's stuck outside the cratewall.. unless she climbs the staircase right there.
Continue to stab in the gap.
Xin: Charge at robot with greatsword
Yes. That. Assist the murderbear.
(Automatic hit) (4+4) (12 vs 10+12, 22) (8 vs 4+10, 14)
Stabbing in the gap doesn't seem to do much more. The leg is disabled, and stabbing up is blocked by a fresh steel barrier with little leverage in. Indeed, the top of the joint seems more fortified than the rest of the robot.
..But if you take out a second leg, the robot will fall, unable to continue walking. Moving on up, Terinas stabs at the front leg, and begins tearing away a second gap, making progress. The greasy oil/blood stuff makes this quite disgusting, but progress is being made.
(1+6)
Xin is a little late to the party, and can only manage one attack. If he wasn't undead, he'd be huffing and puffing. As is, he is chugging away juggling his weapons as he closes the ground less than optimally.
(2+1)
Still, he's just in time to make a sliding two-handed stab at the damaged front leg. Unfortunately, there is a lot of oil on the ground, and the dullahan gets tangled up in the broken leg, sword coming about a foot away from scoring a hit.
(Berzerker bonus applies. Combat now at +2.)
"I wonder where this leads!"
Continue to be a fancy hat.
Gnwbimbar resists the urge to follow it onto the elevator.
It is perhaps a good idea to not follow it on the elevator. As it rises into position, it isn't unoccupied. On it are two more hexabots, each slightly smaller than the missilebot.
They look dangerous. Each one has two extra limbs out the front, ending in round thin disks which can only be buzzsaws. Very fast, surprisingly quiet, buzzsaws. Their legs are thinner than the heavy, chunky ones on the missilebot, but they are still metallic and look strong. Their tops aren't smooth, with steel loops sticking out at multiple locations on top of them.
The missilebot hasn't walked onto the elevator yet. Perhaps it's waiting for the two sawbots to get off the platform? There's certainly space for all three of them, but proximity to the sawbots looks hazardous.
