Turn 56: Battle Initiated!
Even though the mech sucks at dodging, its attacks seem to be very agile and fast. Also, I wasn't sure what to put down for slight damage since it wasn't really an attack and more of a grab.
Anyways, it doesn't seem quite that exciting of a turn, but maybe thats just me being a bit tired.
oh we are so BONED 
Have Bitsy distract the battle mech, while Torc tries to find a weakness.
[5]You order Bitsy to distract the battle mech, somehow, while you attempt to find a weakness. Bitsy is successfully able to distract it while you get close enough. [6]Either the mech was badly designed or it has suffered from lack of maintenance over time because you find several weaknesses in the metal, however the biggest are these:
1. The joints where the limbs attatch to the body lack armor and are extremely vulnerable to attack.
2. There are several places that look like the origional armor has been patched over with inferior (compared to the origional composite armor) iron and steel plates.
3. Overall, it just looks like it is pretty weak without the shields.
((And....thats all I can think of at this time.))
Meanwhile....
[battle mech attack:2][Bitsy dodge:5][Bitsy attack:1][battle mech dodge:5-1]
The mech tries to attack, but the earth spider is just too fast for it. Bitsy itself does a half-hearted fake attack, which the mech barely has to dodge.
Oh dang.
Create powerful-looking mages preparing destructive spells with illusions, attempting to draw the thing's wrath to them
[5][luck:2]You create several powerful looking mages, but the illusions don't draw the mechs attention and it seems to be losing interest in Bitsy.
While distracted throw a vine rope and try to climb on it. Try to find a weak spot.
[1]You did throw a vine on it while the mech was distracted, but now it isn't and attacks just as you start climbing.
[battle mech attack:6][Arngrim dodge:1+1][BP check:2][damage:5-2][Arngrim attack:5][battle mech dodge:2-1]
The mech internally flashes a proximity alert and catches Arnrgim by surprise as it suddendly grabs him by the torso. Arngrims torso armor keeps the mech from causing severe damage. Moving fast, Arngrim manages to draw out his sword and stabs it into the mechs arm, dealing damage to the shield.
Void the battle-mech!
[6][4]Moving quickly to get the mechs attention off of your teammate, you create a very powerful void spell. However, realizing that you might actually siphon Arngrim, you keep it under control and just siphon the mechs shields. The spell demolishes the first shield which fails in a loud crackling noise and electricity flowing to the void spell.
I split off from the other soldiers as they start heading back to town and circle around the mech, attempting to get behind it.
[4]With the recent action, you have a desire to fight for the cause. Without informing the other soldiers, you head towards the mech and circle around to the back of it.
Well my Axe absorbs energy am i right? This means i can siphon the shields
jump between the mechs legs to get out of its attacking range, then attack the right leg and try to siphon the shield with my axe...
[Jorn attack:6][battle mech dodge:1-1][Life Siphon activate check:4][battle mech attack:4][Jorn dodge:2][BP check:6][Damage:3][Battle Mech attack:6][Jorn dodge:3][BP check:4][damage:4-1]
[5]Moving quickly, you get between the mechs legs and hit the right leg hard with your axe. While you didn't activate the life siphon, you did deal alot of damage to the shield. Unfortunately, the mech now knows you are there since its torso turns partially as it grabs you by the right leg and dangles you off the ground. The mech then grabs Jorns other leg, despite his attempts at flailing.
