The deadliest truck on the planet trundles forward.
-Betty leans out the window, armed with her laser cannon. She takes aim and fires, a beam of fire lancing out and piercing the engine of the pursuing gunship. The engine explodes, and sends the gunship crashing down behind them.
-Slab takes up his missile launcher and fires. The missile speeds towards the armored Captain, striking him square on the chest plate. The Captain and his squad are engulfed by an explosion, and as the smoke clears the Captain sits slightly dazed, his armor a ruin around him…
-… Until Bernard smacks his head clean off with a perfect swing from atop the speeding truck with a makeshift light post.
-Abe rolls out of the truck and rushes the fallen Captain’s body, cutting through 3 Viking raiders too stunned to defend themselves. Not much armor is leftbut a blackened pauldron. Abe scoops it up.
-Bobby peppers a passing gunship, killing one of the door gunners and causing smoke to pour from one of its engines, but it turns around to make an attack run on the truck.
One of the other gunships, alerted by the laser destroying one of its comrades, also begins lining up for an attack.
(3)Lasers scorch the truck as it barrels through, and something rattles loose inside the engine. The volunteered driver begins cursing, but he thinks it’ll make it to the palace.
(1) Dozens of vengeful raiders begin to converge on Abe, isolated and alone next to their dead Captain. A few shots hit him in no vital areas (1 damage to Abe.)
Two pursuing gunships, and another successful driving action will get you out of this area. Abe is in lethal danger, surrounded by 24 raiders.
(Sorry about the delay, had a busy last few days!)
