Blast! He's going to die if that bot isn't stopped right now
Fire my final round into the bot's chest once more! It's already beheaded, even if the critical area is in one of the legs, destroying the torso should leave it disconnected from everything else!

it is possible, but will be really hard.  I guess you could possibly use your rope, but keep in mind not all wounds will result in blood flow, and might not be able to be patched that way.  Your armor will also attempt to use nanites and stimms to slow the bleeding and knit the flesh back together.  It's great that way.  ((That's what the Damage Save represents, and why you get one every round.))

((Since I apparently am intended to heal by my armor's efforts, not my own, that's a clear path forward then.  Also, woohoo!  I rolled a nat 1 adjusted to a 0, and I didn't instadie!  Blessed be the decision makers and all other powers, and it's no Duh! I'm as grateful as can be!))

My voice is pained, but quite audible as I sing on.

I have a high repair bill all the time!
My armor's nanites are why I'm still alive.
But you will never hear me cry or whine
Die, robot swine; I drive this line!

Carefully driving the tip of the sword, held 1 handed, into the opened upper portion of the torso, where its head had once been, down through the torso towards what would be a human's abdomen, and twisting the sword after it is placed to try and do high damage inside the robot with its wiggles and my assisting with this twisting, no Duh!

Spoiler: Duh! (click to show/hide)

Name: Duh!
Description: I am Duh!  Red team member, rawr! I wear a shirt proudly emblazoned with 'Duh!' across the front and 'Run to the Tank' across the back.  My jeans have knee patches, also embroidered with 'Duh' and 'Hud' (my right knee, the one I took an arrow to, once).
Team: Red team.
HP: 4/11
SP: 5/7
Strength/Speed: 10
Traits and Flaws:

• Competent: Natural sixes count as critical successes instead of overshoots
• Slow: You always act after anyone else. If someone else also has this trait, roll initiative against them as normal

Armor: Heavy

• 1d6 resistance
• -1 evasion

Weapon:  An odd-seeming Hand and a Half sword

• When you look at this hand and a half sword, it seems to be always wiggling.
• 1d8 damage
• -1 to hit and +2 to damage when wielded with two hands
• 1-in-4 chance to deal 1d6 extra bleed damage as it rips the wound open when it leaves.

Gadget:  A highly unusual lariat  This highly unusual, fifteen-foot lariat excretes a white, sticky paste and will occasionally move on it's own

• Sticky: sticks to things like glue.  -1d when trying to remove it unless your Strength/Speed is above seven
• Animate: you can verbally command it, and it does not require a hand to use
• Stretchy: Can be stretched to forty five feet, but it can't be used for combat in this form and is only sticky on the ends

Bad rolls are more forgiving because your enemies aren’t. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well, that and the stakes were lower.  Had you rolled that badly jumping between ~15 story buildings, you wouldn’t have even Gone Down.  But making an attack against a prone, restrained opponent with one arm isn’t going to have consequences that disastrous.  You guys have been doing particularly well until now, especially because I honestly did not expect you guys to immobilize it so fast.  Hmmm… *Takes Notes*

A sudden burst of sparks flashes in your eyes, causing you to flinch and throwing off your aim.  The bullet flies harmlessly beyond the robot. 

-1 SP

kick him in the head!

Roll:6,2(Robot)(Blind) vs 4(Duh!)

The robot kicks its legs high up into the air, attempting to bring them down on Duh's head, but, being blind, kicks them in the wrong direction, and completely misses.

You charge heedlessly, completely ignoring the danger, to your detriment, as the robot's wild flailing foot hits you in the head, completely snapping it off. 

You reawaken to blue light shining through your slowly opening eyelids.  It feels like you are bathing in jello. 
"Would you like to see your teammate's progress?" a soft, motherly, yet still metallic voice asks.

The robot flies at the one remaining combatant, blades whirling through the air.  The first strike crashes into his rib, partially piercing the armor and puncturing a lung, which starts filling with blood.  The second strike is much more fortunate, and is easily dodged by Joinkers.

You wake up somewhere dark and feel covered in plastic.  When you push against your surroundings, you feel them tear.  Climbing out, you see that somebody stuffed you into a plastic bag under a park bench.  You are in a very dilapidated community park.  The park is inside a depression in the earth, with steep earthen walls and a barbed wire fence around the edge.  On the far side is a gate.  The park seems to consist of two adjoining circles, both with a sidewalk around the edges and park benches like the ones you're under evenly spaced around them.  The one you're in is about sixty feet in diameter, and inside the sidewalk circle is mulch and a small, rusty playset with four slides and two sets of stairs.  In the smaller circle, which is just to the right of the gate, you see a small fountain, and a small pond, possibly full of ducks.  In the park, on your side of the playset, is what looks to be a 10-foot-tall robotic chicken with a crossbow for a head.  It's Right Leg and it's Left Leg both taper off to a large, vicious claw.  Its Torso is rounded, with a stiff, axelike tail and a neon glowing Eye on the front.  The Crossbow swivels expectantly as if it is searching for something.

Before I attempt anything classy, can I ask if first aid's even possible?  I have an awesome sticky rope that could probably bind a wound closed, and I've got a hand I can clap to a wound and attempt to staunch bleeding.  There's pressure points for arteries as well, can perhaps stop the bleeding that way.

Is any of that potentially an option?

Also, dang.  Heavy armor for the win!  I must remember to place all my major arteries inside it if there is a future, Duh!

it is possible, but will be really hard.  I guess you could possibly use your rope, but keep in mind not all wounds will result in blood flow, and might not be able to be patched that way.  Your armor will also attempt to use nanites and stimms to slow the bleeding and knit the flesh back together.  It's great that way.  ((That's what the Damage Save represents, and why you get one every round.))

Duh Damage Save: (Autofail)
completely ignoring the danger

I'm clueless, thought I was specifically instructed that 'first aid' was auto and my armor would handle for me.

Off I go, if I'm supposed to do more anyone do whatever I'm supposed to do.

Roc shakes his head in an attempt to clear it. Blinks a few times. Closes them tightly for a few seconds. Reopens them.

“Nope, not a dream.” He sighs, noticing Aywen for the first time.

“I suppose we’re in this together. I’m Roc,” He offers his hand in greeting, “we should probably try to figure out what that thing can do before we attempt to tackle it.”

Action part 1: Find something to hide behind and get a good look at the robot, try to answer the following questions:

- can the crossbow sense things on its own or does it need the eye to lock onto something?

- does the crossbow swivel independently of the body, so the body is facing one way and the crossbow another? If so, does the crossbow have a full 360^o range of movement?

- does the torso look like it’s more armored than the other targetable areas?

- are the claws at the end of its legs weapons or just fancy feet?

If possible, also do the following:

Action part two: use the cellphone to get something to disrupt the robot.

Roc taps his cellphone a few times and lifts it to his ear. Ringing can be heard. The third ring is interrupted when the call is answered, followed by silence.

“This is Shyster. I need something to disrupt electronics.”

He pauses, staring at the robot’s feet.

“Preferably from distance. That will be all.”

He pokes the phone and returns it to his pocket.

Strength/Speed: 3
Traits: Wise, Helpful
Flaws: Honorable

Armor: Light
Weapon: A Colt Single Action Army revolver designed to look like a statue of “The Thinker”. Don’t think about it too hard.

A revolver some psycho decided would look good inside a statue.  You get to pick which side the bullets come out of.  3d4 damage, 4 turns worth of shooting inside, 1 turn reload.  You have enough bullets for three complete reloads.  +1 at close/melee range, -1 at longer ranges.  Gives an extra +2 to philosophy rolls.

Gadget: A cellphone full of illicit contacts

It’s a phone.  With only a cellphone app.  It is filled with shady, one-word-name contacts named like “Knifers” and stuff.  Stupid phone.  At the beginning of every mission, you may use this to call your contacts and get something illegal delivered.  You don’t get to pick, although you can make suggestions, and it is almost always something you’d get arrested for carrying.

Other: (list the other stuff you pick up here

Permanent Status: Light Armor: +1 Evasion, 1d2 Resistance
Wise: +1d to rolls to analyze, predict, or recall information.
Helpful: +1d to ally’s action when helping them.

Okay, okay, that... he's dead. forget speed, time to slow down and do this right.
Ejecting the spent casing, I get up and reposition to a new firing location, maintaining distance and not letting it know where I am, reloading as I move
It can't see anymore, but it might remember where I was firing from. I need to take this slow amd do it right. From here on out, aimed shots only.
GM: Lelia's going to be taking a long time to finish this fight, are you okay with her taking multiple turns in a row?
If permitted to queue up multiple turns:
Next Turn:
Lelia settles in her new hidden position, aiming at the bot's torso, waiting for a clean shot and observing how it is adapting to its current state.
The turn after that:
Fire upon the bot's torso, immediately getting up afterwards to reposition once more. No sense letting the bot backtrace the round's impact.
