As she is near the base, some stray mortars land near her, and one actually hurts her a bit (1 injury/bruise). The telepath apparently senses her pain and says "It was not fair to keep you out in the open.  Your group may enter our base."Meanwhile, mortars continue to fall, and huge tank shells and energy blasts strike the walls of the base, it is breached in a number of places, and the buildings are taking damage.  Medics are scrambling to deal with the wounded.Wren uses these three rounds to heal Star.  NOw she just has some bruises (and exhausted).Meanwhile, Hope, Apollo, and Nitro head off to the fight.Apollo (I am NPCing him since he did not post) gets to the fight immediately, and blasts Efreet with his light bow, wounding him and  knocking him back a step (injury).  The Efreet charges at him, but Apollo flies faster, and Efreet has to settle for throwing a fireball at him instead of grabbing him.  Apollo nimbly reverses direction, and the fireball streaks away into the sky.  Optic breaks into one of the mechs' systems.  He is able to download various specs and tap into their radios.  He finds that numerous pilots really are freaking out, but their commander is urging them on  and many are recovering.  For now, their plan still seems to be a frontal assault.Hope does not get to the enemy base unhindered.  She sees Guardian, riding on her lightning horse, shoot up into the sky, and just as Hope tries to blast the enemy base form maximum range, Guardian parries the lightning bolt away with her sword.  Nitro does manage to shockwave several opponents, blowing up two mechs and damaging one more and a tank.  The damaged vehicles fire back, but other than several bullets that bounce off his skin, he manages to jump out of the way of each...until Leopard, suddenly 30 feet tall, pounces on him with a jumping strike of her own, then grabs him and lifts him into the air in one hand (1 bruise, stunned, grappled)Pharoah meanwhile blasts Apollo with a targeted sandstorm, which forms a mouth and hands and grabs and pulls and bites at Apollo.  This slows his movement enough for Efreet to attack him.  Efreet's body is made of mostly-solid flames, and manages to grab Apollo, who shots in pain as the flaming Efreet pulls him close to his fiery body, and drives both to the ground (crit, 2 injuries, 3 bruises, staggered, stunned, grappled).  Smoke and sand sheets into the air as they crash through a sand dune.  Apollo manages to ignore the pain and struggle free (hp to shake the stun and avoid taking strike and aura  damage in one round), and he manages to wriggle free of the fiery beast.Nightweaver meanwhile notices that shadows are being created by the various sandstorm attacks being thrown around and the tall mechs casting shadows, although it is hard to see the further ones.  It takes her a few steps, but she manages to get there in time for her to move into position and attack something (post what she attacks).</blockquote>
