You guys were all deadly unlucky this turn. All of you but two are threatened by deadly robots, and the other two are unsuccessfully fighting at 20m. By the way, sudden events are hard to think up.
by using the power of my brain I attack katsun
You attempt to summon your deeply hidden mental attack powers.
|You took a wrong turn while you were strolling through the avenues of your mind, but you know which ways not to go now. (+1 to mental attack power attempts)
I hurl my mystery needle at Aussie as a senbon.
You throw the needle at Aussie.
|The needle hits Aussie in the neck but
|the point hardly makes a scratch.
|Nothing happens due to the small amount of the serum used, but there is about half of it left in the cartridge.
keep runnin
|You are about to once again set off
into a closed steel door when the same piece of wall as before rotates around again.
|A high tech humanoid robot with arm mounted laser cannons is attached to the wall, and it breaks free of the straps holding it to the wall and lands on the floor. It’s charging it’s lazerz!
Oh no you don't. I attack Emperor with my pen, using my briefcase as a shield! I eye him through my thick glasses, compute the best course of action, and then randomly flail my arms as I run at him and stick my pen in his eye.
You try to attack the farmer-dude with your ultra pen.
|You once again miss horribly,
|and you instead charge towards the Killbot!
|You failed at even this venture, and you crash lightly into a wall. The Killbot does not look amused.
|Your ultra pen holds up through all this.
"Go orcbot go! Kill anyone in your way! Except me!" And I RUN NOT WALK DAMMIT forward.
|You serious yourself up and are about to start running forward when
|A swarm of mechanical BEES comes a’swarming out of the wall and attacks you!
|Luckily they, like everyone else in this unluckiest of turns, fail to hit you, and instead buzz madly to the 110m mark. They look like they aren’t going to stop harassing you until they kill themselves by stinging you. The bees receive +2 to damage rolls.
Orc Bot:At 200m. A servant of Shoruke. Has a axe which gives +1 to damage rolls, and has innate +1 to accuracy rolls. Programmable by nobody but Shoruke.
|This time around, the orc bot gets the message loud and clear, and
| he runs forward with maximum velocity!
|He sees the deactivated beam sword at 190m, but he doesn’t know what it is, as so doesn’t pick it up. He gets to the steel door at 200m, then
|a huge sack falls out of the ceiling and he opens it.
|Inside, he found a small goblinbot. Callooh! Callay! Is what he would have shouted if he had been programmed with the works of Lewis Carroll, but since he is just combat robot, he merely gave a satisfied grunt, then helped the goblin out of the sack. The orc bot then remembered his masters secondary command, and so choose a target to attack!
| The orc bot decides to attack the killbot with his axe!
|The orcs attack is aided by Shoruke’s programming improvements!
|The killbot is hit hard in the torso, but his awesome armour protects him, and he merely receives a dent.
Goblinbot: At 200m. A friend of the Orc Bot. Receives +1 accuracy when attacking enemies who are unaware of his presence, and also gets +1 towards sneaking past hostiles.
The goblinbot follows his new friends lead, and attacks the killbot!
|His dagger barely grazes the killbots arm due to his eyes not being adjusted to the light yet.
Killbot: At 200m. Gets +1 to accuracy and damage when it uses it's lasers to attack. Enemies get -1 to damage when they are attacking it.
The killbot is angry with all the creatures who attacked him but he chooses to single out
|the goblinbot! It fires it’s laser cannons!
|Some laser beams hit the goblin square on, but some also fly every which way!
|The orc and Siquo manage to dodge the flying laser beams, but Emperor and the Goblinbot are hit!
|Emp loses a piece of his ear, and the goblinbot loses a finger, but that’s all that happens to them. A few of the lasers hit the steel door, creating small holes, and a strange odour fills part of the hallway.

Challenge time! Well, nobody responded at all to the last challenge, so I'll make this one more interesting by adding the bonus from that challenge to a new bonus for the winner of this challenge. So:
What poem was referenced in this turn?
The first person to post the answer will receive the +2 to puzzle figuring from the last challenge, as well as +1 to a sudden event roll. Both are only usable once however.
