Alrighty. After hell knows how much delay, I present to you the next turn,
------------
Turn 176 ------------
Players: I'm gonna be inactive this turn. Not moving an inch. Just sit down and think about nothing.
[AI] Let's test these out! Autocannons fire on the distant Elemental!
Try some mental control again.
I'm going to search the area for that missing clanner, it was probably him that caused the elementals to turn up. When I find him, I'm going to teach him not to call his friends out on us.
[AI] Keep practicing flight.
It still seems like an impossible task, so I guess I go back to tinkering with stuff. I'll go grab the flashlights from the hauler's remains and integrate them into my increasingly complex riot shield.
I shoot an elemental in the face with my laser pistol, use blood seeker ability.
Attack the elemental!
[AI] Keep firing at the Elemental.
>Try again.
Allied NPCs:
Land near Boksi. Quzzically look at where his eyes would be.
Fire a burst at the other Elemental.
Enemy NPCs:
…
Get up, fire remaining missiles and the laser at Korora again.
Try to flank the group, aiming laser strikes at Korora.

----------------
Tired of being of no use to the team, Zako decides to rush into action. Jumping into the air, he straightens his body, feet forward, and rapidly accelerates toward the battle armor, shouting "
Dynamic Quadruple Tornado KIIIIIIIICK!!!" The awesomeness of his dynamic entry is marred by the fact that the much larger and heavier Elemental easily deflects the attack, sending him tumbling through the air. But for all its ineffectiveness, Zako's attack was not in vain. Distracted by the strange enemy, the Elemental had no chance to evade the hail of incoming projectiles that Korora and Janna collectively unleashed on him.
Firing full-auto, Janna's machinegun spat out a long burst of half-inch slugs, covering the battle armor with dents as the projectiles failed to score a penetrating hit at this distance. Joining the attack a half-second later, Korora opened fire with his dual autocannons, blowing the Elemental off his feet as the 30-millimeter cannon rounds slammed straight into his chest and abdomen, punching through armor as if it were cardboard. Incredibly, the Clan warrior still had strength to stand. Pushing his mortally wounded body to the limits of what was physically possible, he aimed his laser at Korora and fired, just before Neo and Jay Kayell's lasers both scored direct hits on his injured chest, finishing the Elemental for good.
Although the dying Elemental missed his shot, his death was not in vain. Left alone, his partner managed to stand up and use his opportunity, firing all his weapons at Korora's exposed flank. Even as the missiles remained true to their name and flew way over everyone's heads, the laser pulse, overcharged to the point that it destroyed the weapon it was fired from, hit Korora right into the unarmored machinery under his left arm. A hit this strong could easily destroy a vital part of the steel warrior's control system, leaving him partially disabled. But it didn't happen. The shining beam exploded into sparks, vaporizing a protective layer of reinforced steel surrounding the mechanisms. Korora spun around to face the threat, mentally thanking the team for his upgrades. "
Tch! I hoped I wouldn't get to use those for a while."
----------------
Alright, what do we have here? LASD entered the charred remains of the truck again, seeking to find something to improve his shield with. The cabin is horribly burned, practically nothing in the truck survived. Only metal parts of the hull were not destroyed by the fire, and even those were often disfigured. LASD made his way to the metal containers that were situated under the rear seats, hoping that the equipment inside was not damaged. But the container lid is stuck. "
Come on, open up!" LASD examines the lid to see what is wrong, and quickly finds the problem. The immense heat that destroyed the truck had caused the lid to completely fuse with the container, welding the whole thing up into a perfect sealed metal box. "
Well damn. I guess it's not opening in a hurry."
----------------
Unable to directly help in the battle, Frelock attempts to lock his mind onto the fallen Elemental, trying to overcome his mental strength and gain control of his body. Suddenly, he receives feedback! The Elemental responds, but responds with seething rage! Thrown out of focus, Frelock can't concentrate to try again, and can only watch as the clanner shoots Korora with his laser. "
Well, this could have gone better."
----------------
Though still not quite combat-worthy, Rooster considers himself in good enough shape to try flying. It takes some effort, but he is able to achieve lift and soars above the field, as gracefully as the circumstances allow. He cringes as he watches his teammates dish out punishment on the Elemental. "
Ooh, that gotta hurt. Too bad for Zako though."
----------------
Concentrating once again on managing his regeneration to grow an extra limb - and once again failing - Qwer'Ty is forced to submit to his body's unwillingness to change. "
Hmm. This doesn't seem to work. I guess being genetically engineered for a few dozen generations will do that to you. Doesn't hurt to try, though." Catching a glimpse of Zako in the distance, he thoughtfully adds: "
Succeeding, on the other hand... might."
----------------
Tired of chasing the elusive Elemental around, Boksi sits down and contemplates his navel. Misquoting Nietzche, he mutters something about staring into the navel, when suddenly his Giant Bat - which, he notices, is indeed exceptionally large - lands in front of him, and looks him in the eye. "
What do you want, ugly?"
The bat keeps looking at him, giving Boksi the unnerving impression that it can really
see him. He tries moving around, but the bat unerringly follows him, keeping its eyes fixed on his head. Boksi strikes a dramatic pose and stares at the bat. The bat stares back. "
Alright, I get it. You want attention. Sorry, I'm in no mood to play with you." Undeterred by such a feeble excuse, the bat slowly approaches.. and suddenly bites Boksi's foot! Its fangs don't penetrate his thick skin, but it keeps its careful - and sharp - grip on the foot as Boksi frantically tries to get free. "
Ow, ow, okay, I'll think of something, let go!" Content with that, the bat leaves Boksi and flies off again.
----------------
Feeling a burning rage and a sudden desire to speak of himself in third-person, Kashyyk takes mighty leaps across the battlefield, seeking out the wily snake who brought the Elementals upon his friends. "
Kashyyk protect friends! Kashyyk find Clanner!" But for all his newfound ability, he cannot find anything save a trail of tracks leading towards the wrecked mechs in the distance. Kashyyk's rage burns with renewed fire, causing him to go downright ballistic. "
AND WHEN KASHYYK FIND CLANNER, KASHYYK SMASH HIM INTO LITTLE PIECES!! RAAAGH!!!"

Background: [4] The Elemental in the distance falls to the ground — he might not be actually dead, but he's out of the fight. The Elemental near you begins some shifty manuevers — he might try a melee attack next.

Artifacts:
Description: A massive, massive, MASSIVE sword. It is three meters long, 1'3'' (~40cm) wide, and dazzingly bright. Its fine steel has been polished to reflect light like a mirror. Its one edge is curved, jagged at the hilt, the other is straight and so sharp it could probably slice adamantine blocks like salami. Down the center of the sword, which is at least 2'' thick, runs a hollow slit 3'' wide, in which yet another, smaller and straighter sword is concealed. The entire surface of both swords, except of course the sharp cutting edges, is finely engraved with uncountable images, among which the launching of the Challenger, world war II, a nuclear explosion, a trainwreck, and a rotary excavator. The hilt itself (being at the same time the hilt of the smaller sword) is decorated with gold and emeralds you can only assume you've taken from someone, arranged in beautiful patterns, and the handle is woven with three lines - one is a scaly snake with two small rubies in the eyes, and two seem awfully like DNA strands. You get a feeling you could decipher the human genome if you looked closely enough. The guard of the hilt is exquisitely detailed as well, but right down the center of it, spanning the breadth of the sword, is a solid rectangular golden plate, with the single word: "ASHCRAVER" deeply embossed onto it. The entire thing is so immeasurably brilliant, you almost don't want to touch it fearing it'll stick to your hand and corrupt you like some magic ring. Overcoming this fear, you pick it up. Despite its size, it is relatively lightweight, relatively, of course, to anything else so large and made of steel. The hilt of the smaller blade has a folding guard that makes the weapon look like an overgrown sai.
Parameters (full sword): +2 to damage, +1 to attack, -1 agility.
Parameters (core blade): +1 to damage.
Known Details: The Ashcraver seems to accumulate the energy released by the deaths it causes. The process is admittedly rather slow, but has good uses.
Can heal wounds.
In mech form, Korora can unsheath the sword by shouting «ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!»
The sword has an AoE ranged attack activated by shouting «RAIN OF PAIN!»
Description: The ring consists of a toroidal adamantine core surrounded by a shell of tempered steel with thin bands of gold along the rims of the ring. Set into an adamantine frame on its top is a Star Sapphire imbued with the dark soul of a Greater Demon, under absolute control of the wearer. The steel surface of the ring is covered by three hundred tiny tiles of granite, engraved with images of various creatures, all being dead.
Parameters: Applies a -1 penalty to using Fire and Darkness manipulation for every active effect already applied. Current penalties: -2 Darkness.
Known Details: The wearer of the ring may call onto the soul of the demon, which can manipulate darkness and fire - anything from direct projection to creating sentient forms to giving protection against.
The wearer can also give an order to summon a creature mad with rage (any creature from the DF world you have seen), which will use up one or several of the stone tiles, depending on the power of the creature. The tiles may be restored, but only through personally killing sentient creatures with bare hands and absorbing their essence with the ring, which also adds that creature to the "summonable creatures" list.
The price to pay for all this power is a constant aura of darkness that any living being will feel (and will react accordingly), and the wearer may, under critical stress, give in and become controlled by the trapped demon soul.
Description: An odd-looking gnarly stick made of iron and steel. The many wrinkles and crevices on its surface are ever so slightly glowing.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: The staff feels special, capable of doing wonrous things. Some of those things include: summoning a small lightning that seems to charge the staff, when being hit against the ground; launching a spark of electricity that explodes in a sparkling firework-like burst, on giving a generic mental command.
Description: (Universal Radiowave Manipulator) A hexagonal reflective box, rougly a foot across and 10cm thick.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: It can receive, process, transmit, focus, and disperse energy waves over a rather wide electromagnetic spectrum. Can work as a radio or a mini-microwave. Contains a battery that can be recharged by applying any electricity to the surface.

- Planet Wayside V: The planet seems to be barren as a whole. The sky is green here, and the air is cold. Or maybe it's just autumn here.
- Large Valley: A rather dull and barren, though very large, rocky valley covered by reddish clay soil with patches of some unknown weeds or moss. Filled with broken rock and debris. Sloping mountains or plateaus many kilometers tall seem to surround it. A relatively narrow pass leads into the Vast Plain.
- Sub-area 1: Starting Point. The place you initially appeared at.
- Sub-area 2: First Contact. Where your truck was destroyed by an aerospace fighter (and later rebuilt, driven off elsewhere and crashed again). The disabled Wolf Trap is here.
- Sub-area 3: Andrea's Furnace. Somewhere far north of Area 2 - the fighter crashlanded there. And subsequently exploded, leaving a large crater and killing the crew of the two scout buggies sent by Fusiliers. Then Andrea blew the place up along with a bigger convoy. And then Zako's hurricane, aided by a mysterious force, levelled it completely. All players are here.
- Sub-area 4: Saramrakust Kosak. A great engraved slab of hard white stone east of the Furnace, that is the top of a buried obelisk that stands over the grave of the dwarf Kosak Sidasin Lokumzuden.
- Sub-area 5: Unknown. A pillar of dark smoke rising northeast of the Furnace.
- Fusiliers' camp "Wildcat": A small military camp set up amidst the hills in the large valley. Something terrible might have happened there.
- Vast Plain: An enormous plain connected to the large valley by a relatively narrow passage. Its ground is different from that of the valley, but you don't know what it is yet. Might be a former ocean bottom.
