Roll 3: Skirmish
Locations:Centauri University of the unknown-Exam Room (Everyone)
Actions:Kayle Silvertaugh-Seemingly annoyed and excited to see the new combatants enter the field, Kayle takes aim with her rifle and fires once at the head of a rather scrawny-looking android. These robots were designed to simulate real combat--they act like people, get hurt like people, heck, they even bleed like real people do.
Back to the situation at hand, the rifle's turbines spin up as the cooling element prepares for the first shot. The rifle then unleashes its stored energy in the form of an invisible beam of blazing photons. The shot hits the android straight in the chest, and Kayle smirks as the robot's chest immediately vaporizes, showering the metal floor with a flurry of artificial blood. [9 vs 7] The rifle's turbines grind to a halt a moment before the robot hits the ground with a thud, its weapon still in its hand.
Caplus Orange-Caplus, preferring an indirect approach, closes his eyes and visualizes the two androids he spotted with heavy weaponry--he'd want to take those out first. He attempts to unleash a shockwave of physical energy in order to disable the robot's electronics. The wave succeeds in appearing, and a large flash lights up the arena in the process, but the robots, utilizing organic micro-technology, are alas immune to his shockwaves. [1]
Deciding to carry through anyway, Caplus, knowing the power of his own gauss rifle, decides to snipe the similar-looking rifle out of the corresponding android's hands. He loads his own rifle and takes aim, landing a slug straight down the enemy's barrel, into the android's body. The metal slug bounces off of the protective force-field circling the arena, ricocheting into the back of the unfortunate robot's head, finishing it off. [8 vs 3] [Level up!]
Herros Machlan-Herros, recognizing the robots as standard issue C1-18 Combat Simulation Androids, takes aim at the robot's unprotected head when Caplus steals his kill with an extremely well-placed slug.
Ivan the Adventurer-Ivan casts
Arcane Ritual of Alter Mud, allowing him to... control mud inside this almost-pristine (until you guys came along) and well-kept arena. In space. Yeah.
Milia Kurasaki-Milia focuses on keeping Ivan
alive for now. She takes out a large bandage and nervously applies it to Ivan's profusely bleeding chest while Ivan concentrates on controlling something that doesn't exist here for a few miles in literally every direction. [4] Due to her shaky hands, the bandage goes on a bit out of place, and it doesn't manage to cover the entire gash, but it's slowed the bleeding down considerably.
"Thanks!" shouts Ivan before he jumps up and reels in pain from his injured leg.
Amatin Seathunder-Amatin realizes that a well-placed rocket could seriously mess up the two northernmost androids, especially since they're not expecting it.
He raises his launcher and fires, [9 vs 8] [9 vs 8] (Seriously!) landing the rocket precisely in between the two robots, knocking both over and stunning them, but otherwise not dealing enough damage to cause significant injury.
Jaffar Cole-
"Well, that was fast."Jaffar makes his way south, firing a number of heated shots into the southernmost android, hoping to destroy it before it can kill someone with its rockets.
When the shots hit, robot is subsequently melted after the many blobs of plasma collide with it one by one. [12 vs 7]
Varron Carse-Even though it would be overkill, Varron sends the melted husk of the rocket android into the ceiling as a show of power. The professors at a desk in the distance cheer at the display of proficiency.
GAME EVENT:The protagonists, unable to find any cover, fear the worst as the remaining androids bring their weapons to bear and open fire, despite heavy losses.
Suddenly, four massive slabs, presumably cover, rise up out of the metal floor. The sides of the slabs are riddled with ultrasonic spikes--one touch, and it's goodbye to your finger.
Anyway, the slabs block the protagonist's view of the androids, so everyone's safe. For now.
