SX:1 Help Wanted: Exterminators (Velmont Judging)-Completed

Gun Monkey staggers towards the slightly diminished sea of bugbots, his eyes tunnel visioned on the tripod walker of Dr. Null. Body continues to run after him, seeing that he should catch the hobbled simian in short time. Warm air rushes over his face from the wash of the jet as it hovers overhead. "Seems like Gun Monkey took out whatever was jamming the communications. Our scans show no other civilians on the bridge besides the paramedics and reporters. Repeat. No more civilians are in the vicinity of the bridge. Get the paramedics off and then...What the! Dammit, get this bird out of here.", Wheeler relays his message as the jet comes under fire, taking a glancing blow from the tripod's laser cannon. The jet wheels and flies out of range. Body looks over to see the news crew filming the brave and foolhardy rush of the altered ape.

Meanwhile...Gaining confidence with the success of her efforts, Pandora once again manifests a concrete block and drops it onto a group of robots, destroying four of them in a cloud of crushed concrete. Toad immobilizes his opponent with a flying kick. Roughneck savagely hammers the nearest bug,arriving next to Toad. There are several bugs who are working their way into position to fire again, but all except three are blocked by the carnage of the mismatched teammates. Two bots fire at,but miss Toad. One hits Roughneck, but is unable to damage the former bouncer.

Elsewhere on the bridge the bots begin to move towards Pandora, as if they have awakened from a slumber and now realize that this is the source of their troubles. Two fire at her. One misses, but the other manages to hit her. The corrosive blast from the arc welding unit in the bug's mandible causes sharp pain to lance through her thigh. Her serpent rushes to her aid and destroys the offending robot with a looping strike, biting halfway through the "neck" of the robot.

OOC: Pandora is bruised. The team has whittled down the competition, but a reserve of fifty bots waits behind the good doctor. Let's keep the momentum going :D I'd like to get the grand finale underway soon.

"Looks like the Doc's got an appointment he's gonna keep now," Gun Monkey says as he staggers towards Dr Null, looking for a good shot.

OOC: He'll aim if he can.
 

Roughneck seeing Pandora has the remaining bots in hand joins Gunmonkey in his headlong rush at the Doctor.
"Hope yer insurance is paid up Null!"

OOC: Going to try to climb him if I reach him.
 

Body will try to catch up with GM this turn and heal him. Hopefully Spirit has managed to return. Rejoined the healing is much easier for the two of them to do together.
 

(ooc - Apologies...have been traveling...and will be on vacation w/o computer access for the next week and a half. Feel free to NPC Pandora in a support role, conjuring items or using ESP as needed.)

Pandora cringes at the pain of the attack. While she knew this line of work could be dangerous, it is only now that she's beginning to realize just how real that pain and danger could be. She does her best to keep her serpent between her and any nearby bugs. If it looks like she'll become overwhelmed by their numbers, she'll jump into her bag and pull it closed behind her (effectively vanishing, along with the bag, into a pocket dimension).

In the meantime, she'll continue to drop concrete blocks and let the bronze serpent fend off the close bugs. (ooc - remember that the Serpent has Interpose and will take one attack per round on her behalf.)
 

Reload part III

Toad attacks the last remaining bot between Dr. null and Roughneck, shattering it with a single kick. Roughneck latches onto one of the three legs of the tripod and begins shimmying up the leg.

Body catches up with Gun Monkey and lays hands on him. The simian recovers from his injuries. Spirit returns to his brother.

Pandora launches another concrete block, reducing the numbers of bots by five.

Electricity hums through the tripod walker's cannon, energy bursts through the air towards Pandora. Her bronze serpent glides through the air, absorbing the brunt of the blast. The serpent shudders, but remains upright.

Three of the remaining bots fire on Pandora. One manages to hit her with a blast, leaving a searing pain in her abdomen.

OOC: Sorry for the delay. Should be back to normal now.
 

Gun Monkey mutters "Thanks," as he finishes aiming and fires.

OOC: Gun Monkey hopefully aimed last round, so he'll have +4 to hit with Improved Aim, which he'll spend in a Power Attack (Spending 1 HP for the feat) on his Penetrating shot. So (Blast:Sonic, Pen. +10 DC 29 Tough) on Doc Null's tri-Pod
 

"Any time" replies Body, elated that his brother has returned safely. With word that no civilians remain in the combat zone and his complete ineffectiveness in combating the metal army, Body and Spirit tactically retreat. He intends to coordinate the evacuation of the paramedics and hopefully that idiotic news man.
 

Gun Monkey's shot rocks the walker. The Turret begins to turn towards him...
Body hears a crackling over the radio from the young female paramedic, "If that's the last of the injured we are out of here. If you found any more we'll come back" He looks up to see the camera trained on Gun Monkey and himself.

OOC: I'd like to hear some actions here (although I beleive I know what most people will do).
