[PhoenixFlame]

((Move to 704, facing 603))

Karen moved her Crusader up to the summit of the mountain, taking a moment to scan the surrounding terrain for targets as her LRMs finished reloading.

[Wolf99x]

((Face D1110, Run to D1111))

Kyle began moving his mech in an attempt to get around the mountain and outflank the Marik forces.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Blitz trned his Locust around and ran back quickly noticing the dervish was occupied with the Draconis stinger he ran up behind the dervish and fired all his weapons

(+2 for running +2 for enemy movement. 3+4=7+2=9 Medium laser 12 Hit Right Torso SRM linked 7+1=8 9 hit Center toso right torso.)

The red laser burned the air dropping shards of broken glass as the sand began to blow, The missile streaked from the launcher. The laser and missles hit the mech square in the back but seemed to cause no major damage

(new hazard: blowing sand +2 for energy weapons. +1 for balistic weapons)

[Dante]

OOC: D1107 to D1108 to D1008 to D1010 to D0911, facing D0811

BIC: "Careful, Kyle, this storm's not good for any of us."

Sigil nosed Lucifer around the base of the nearby hill, the Quickdraw burning brightly on his radar. Hopefully, he'd be able to surprise it and give it his tenderest care i nthe form of autocannon shells and missiles in the face.

[Nathano]

(walk to D0310)

Walking down the slope of the mountain, Ryan switched his comm over to a private channel with Razma.

"OK Razma, looks like this guy wants to make it hard. This storm is going to mess up my weapons big time so I'll need you to distract him so I can get in close to hit'em where it hurts. He's already taken a beating so it shouldn't take too much to drop him then we can go and help the others."

[Inbred Chocobo]

((Move from D0305 to D0208))

"Alright Ryan, I try and draw his fire, once he trys to counter attack, you better blow him away." Razma responded to Ryan over the comm. It was true the storm would get in his way, but hopefully his missles could still get to the Cyclops.

((Base 4, +2 for running, short range for missles, +1 for sandstorm (Missles are ballistic correct? Enemy only moved 1 square, so +0. 7 to hit.))
((Amount of missle roll is 10, so if I am correct thats 10 missles shot. First 5 to hit roll is 6, so miss. Second batch of missle hit rolls is 9, so hit. Positions of damage is 5, so hits his right leg.))

Final Damage
Right Leg 5

Razma watched as some of his missles went off and nailed the Cyclops, while others hit the hill. No he just had to pray the thing was stupid enough to try and counterattack, and hopefully he would see Ryan over there.

[lazy man]

OOC: Turn to D1005, walk to D1003. Dervish is 11 hexes away and in medium range for LRMs.

IC: Turning straight to the north, Adam could see Scott shooting up a Dervish. His view was quickly blurred by the incoming sandstorm, and any chance he had of a clearer shot at the enemy mech was quickly gone.

"Oh well, still worth a shot," Adam thought as he put the crosshairs for his LRMs over the small and blurry outline of the Dervish in front of him.

Pulling the trigger, Adam watched as the missles arced their way toward the mech, blowing their way through the sandstorm with ease. Ten of the missles hit their target in the right torso, while two more hit it in the left leg. The last three wound past it into the nearby sand, not doing a thing.

"Got your back, Blitz," Adam quickly radioed to Scott after hitting the Dervish.

OOC: TN: Base 3, +1 walking, +2 target moved 5-6 hexes, +2 medium range, +1 ballistic weapon in sandstorm (I think). Total TN is 9.

Attack: 3+6=9. Missles launched: rolled 10, so 12 missles and 3 location rolls.

Location/Damage: 1st 5: rolled 9, so 5 damage to right torso (I'm hitting from the left side, aren't I?) 2nd 5: rolled another 9, so 5 damage to righ torso again. Last 2: rolled 6, so 2 damage to the left leg.

Damage totals: 10 damage to the right torso, 2 damage to the left leg.


Squishy, if you're in front of my shot, I'll edit the post to say I was just moving up.

The stinger pilot lost the dervish in the sand and jumped to the position he figured the dervish would be at. The Stinger once in flight noticed the dervish walking along the dunes it's computer registered the missile locks. The sand storm had confused the anti missile system the dervish unloaded it's missiles the stinger tried to get off a laser shot but missed. The missiles ripped off the mechs right arm dropping it's main armament into the sand.

Blitz used the sand to cover him while he would get a shot on the running vulcan.

(Run to B0211 facing 0311

[Nathano]

(walk to D0111 face D0112, walk to D0112 face D0212[move 6 hex])

Moving along the base of the dune, Ryan kept his eyes peeled for trouble. As he moved along, he swore he could make out a shape passed all the blowing sand. Not taking any chances, he switched to his linked lasers and fired at the blur. As the bolts raced away, two of them vanished in a blast of glass as the sand swalloed them, but he was rewarded with the image of a 'Mech being hit on the left side as the other two lit it up as they connected. "All right Razma, your turn."

range 3 hex; 3 base + 2 sand + 1 walked + 2 medium range = 8

ER Large - 10 hit; location: 10 left arm; 8 damage
ER Large - 7 miss
Pulse Med - 10 hit; location: 8 left torso; 6 damage
Pulse Med - 5 miss

Heat: 12 + 12 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 35 - 20 = 15

OOC: i have a CASE on my 'Mech so what would I do about the heat and my remaining ammo (half for machine gun[came like that], and two full AMS minus the 10 I've used)?

[PhoenixFlame]

((Turn to face 705 from 704))

Karen wheeled her Crusader around and took a missle bead on the enemy Grasshopper, who was hiding behind a hill. Unfortunately for him, Karen was standing on a bigger hill.

((Medium ranged, walked, target didn't move, assume missles are missles, and not ballistics, so... +5 to hit, linked LRM15s. 5+5=10, so I hit. 8 and 9 mean I launch 21 missles.))
((5 hit 3, Right arm, dealing 5 damage. 5 hit 6, Right torso, dealing 5 damage. 5 hit 5, Right leg, dealing 5 damage. 5 hit 7, Center torso, dealing 5 damage. 1 hits 4, Right arm, dealing 1 damage.))

[Astral Harmony]

(Walk from D0802 to D0903, Face D0902, Aim Gauss Rifle to attack Dervish)

"Sorry, commander. I'll try to help now."
Tillie moved the Viktor to the southeast and turned to face the Dervish. She considered what she could do.
"I...think that's too far for my missiles and lasers. I better make this shot count."
The Viktor started lining up the Dervish in the target reticle.

[Inbred Chocobo]

((Not moving from current position, still firing upon the Cyclops.))

"Alright, lets see if we can finish this, I think he has friends nearby." Razma said as he took his LB 10-x and fired upon the Cyclops.

((Base 4, neither mech moved, it is short ranged, +1 for the storm. To hit is 5.))
((LB 10-X attack roll is... 6. Location roll is a... 2. Thats a crit, so ouch. Crit roll is a 10, so two crits to the torso.))

Final Damage:
Torso 10 damage and 2 crits.

(Someone else roll the crit thingy, I am still confused on that issue.)

IC: Razma was glad to see the enemy mech take a devastating blow from his gun as he fired another one into it, and he watched with anticipation to see what damage was done.

[Wolf99x]

(Face D1210)

Kyle realized that he probably wouldn't be able to get around the mountains to get a shot, and ceratinly not in this sandstorm.

"I'll hold back here in case the FedComs finish up with the Kuritans and com after us." he radioed.

[Squishy Cheeks]

The autocannon shot started a chain reaction in the ammo storage of the Cyclops the cyclops exploded spectacularly showering the sands with smoking parts.

[Truce]

Raviel tried not to attract attention. So, his mech remained where it was, as still as death, while its pilot surfed through various channels hoping to catch either side's frequency. Then again, they could all be using code, which would ruin the point of him trying to listen in, but he was bored and Solaris didn't offer much entertainment on the battlefield.

You know, aside from having people blow each other up in giant fusion powered machines o' deadorizing, which (for some reason) Raviel didn't find enjoyable himself.

[Dante]

OOC: Double moving because I didn't move for the last turn - D0911 to D0612, D0612 to D0513 (1 full run) , then D0513 to D0411, D0311, D0211( regular move)

BIC: Sigil hugged the hill's base as he squinted through the howling sands for a target. The Atlas pounded through the shifting morass below him, tireless iron limbs mashing the ground belowfoot.

As he rounded the bend of the hill, a heat signature suddenly loomed into sight. Almost immediately, he keyed the mech's targeting computers on, and the familiar array of targeting reticles immediately ringed it like a lasso.

Sigil had nothing witty to say as the Alpha Strike created a flare of light and dust visible even through the dense sand, but his firepower spoke for himself. The sand spent the beams of two of his lasers before they could deal significant damage and the winds threw his SRMs off course, but the monstrous AC/20, a laser, and over a dozen missiles slammed into the mech's center torso, cutting it in half at the waist. The bisected upper body was thrown high into the air by the blinding reactor explosion as the leg section crumpled into a kneel in the midst of a big black crater.

"Multi kill..." he mused as he slowly unsquinted his eyes, trying to blink away the afterimage seared into his retinas.

((Hold position, wait on guns to reload. Missle artillery ahoy! If I can aim at someone or take evasive actions, I do that.))

Karen's Crusader stood atop the sandy mountain like a giant metal "Queen of the Hill" raining missles down on those below. She waited patiently for her LRM racks to reload, scanning the battlefield while doing so.

[Wolf99x]

((Run to 1210, face 1310, Run to 1310, Face 1410, run to E0112))

Kyle began to make his way towards the FedCom forces. "I think you guys can handle the Marik forces on your own, I'm going to go a bit ahead and see if I can surprise any FedCom mechs that wander towards us."

[lazy man]

OOC: Turn1- Turn to 1103, run to 1202, turn and run to 1201. Turn2- Run to 1215. Yeah, forgot to take my last turn...

IC: Adam waited for a few moments, and then decided what to do. He wasn't going to get a good shot off on anything in this weather, and everything else was also too far away. Not too big of a deal, though, he just had to take his time and get close.

Running a little to the northeast, then going straight to the north, Adam took cover in one of the low dunes for the time being. Going through the dunes was going to take a while, but it was still better if he could get a one up on the enemy mechs.

[Astral Harmony]

(Firing Main Weapon [Gauss Rifle] at Dervish)

"Time to see if I'm made for this. Firing Main Weapon." Tillie said and fired the aimed Gauss round at the retreating Dervish.

[Nathano]

(walk to D0115 face D0114)

Moving away from the enemy 'Mechs, Ryan waited until his guns were ready. What surprised him the most was that they had pretty much walked right past him, and even more was the fact they weren't hitting him.

Heat: 15 + 2 + 1 = 18 - 20 = 0

[Dante]

OOC: Did the Quickdraw not die after I shot it?

[Squishy Cheeks]

ooc: no, it died when it tried to jump on your head and missed.

[Inbred Chocobo]

((Moving from D0208 to D0303.))

Razma had a smile on his face when the cyclops was destroyed, but now he had more enemies on him. He didn't feel like staying for the fight while Ryan was moving, so he took off too. Though he flipped on his comm and said to Ryan "Let's try to split up these two, I'd rather have a one on one than a double team against one of us."

Blitz slowed as the vulcan flew over his mech. It narrowly missed with it's lasers. Blitz opened fire. His missiles impacted harmlessly on the mechs back but his laser boiled metal from the head impaling the cockpit in it's beam the vulcan fell flat.

(3+3+1=7 12 hit. srm 2 streak 6, 7 left torso; center torso. medium laser 12 head. crit 10 2 crits rolls 1, 3 life support, cockpit)


The dervish crashed into the stinger as the gauss shot pierced it's ammo bin. The ammo caused an explosion destroying the two mechs.

(AB, you can roll your own attacks, btw you got a 12 and then 1 crit in the right torso causing and explosion. I took some liberties)

[PhoenixFlame]

((Run to 1006, facing 1107, D-Map))

"Marik Forces, Defeated." Karen's computer reported, turning the remaining Marik Grasshopper's dot blue, and putting a blue X "No-shoot" reticule over it.

"Excellent." Karen said, turning on lance-comms, "Marik are down, and the remaining Kuritans and Fedcoms are locked in combat. Let's go crash their party. Moving to form up." she said, throttling up her Crusader and leading it down the hill toward the remaining enemy forces.

[Nathano]

(face D0215 run to 0717[skirting around hill], facing D0816)

With all the Marik forces gone it would be a long trek to the remaining FedCom and Kurita forces. Pushing his 'Mech into a run, Ryan travelled around the base of the dune, keeping it in his left. "Let's show them how real pilots fight."

[Truce]

(1505D-203E, ran, facing 303E)

"Raviel, reporting in. I'm completely...undamaged. Apparently, nobody but Sigil has ever wanted to shoot at me."

[Wolf99x]

(face 0211, run to 0412)

Kyle charged up a hill with renewed vigor now that he knew the others would be coming in behind him.

Blitz dashed to the south and banked sharply.

"Form up at the mouth of the canyon. It looks like the assualts are surviving. heavy and assaults engage mediums form up on me we'll try to flank and take out their back armor."

[Astral Harmony]

(Walk from D0903 to D1305)

"Holy shit. Did I do that?" Tillie surveyed the incredibly lucky shot. One Gauss round had destroyed two mechs. She'd never even seen a mech do that before. Then again, she'd never seen nearly as much mech combat as any of the others. "Damn. Okay. Gotta keep up and lend further assistance." Tillie spurred the Viktor into motion, getting it down from the mountain.

[Nathano]

(run to 1316, around hill)

"Be there as soon as I can. Still have to get around this bloody mountain." Ryan said as he pushed his 'Mech into a run, continuing in the level terrain for as long as he could before begining to climb a small rise in the mountain rising to his left.

[PhoenixFlame]

((Run to 1406D, facing Northeast))
