Sprint at the front of the convoy at full speed. Start hitting people in the face with the plasma cutter and see where that takes me.

The trick is momentum, if we stop then the goblins will see the ruse and we'll be forced into a fair fight. Unless they are very stupid, which is never a good assumption for a battle plan. When they drew iron and went to work they'd have precious seconds while the goblins were completely confused, no brain on the planet could help a few seconds to change tack when faced with the completely unexpected. Still... the moment was critical, one small window when they could each throw a javelin and get into melee range.

Wait...

one more second...

NOW! The three front runners will throw a javelin each and then ready their melee kit to cleave goblin skulls. Confusion should buy the three of us the time to stand against ten until our mock goblins catch up.

It might take some time but I'm sure a competent crafter could make it work.

I'll allow you to make pretty much anything, you come up with a reason for it and a good roll and it's yours. (Granted I may balance your ideas some.)

Oh sorry.

You mean Alien style? Where she duct tapes the guns together, or were you thinking of something more elaborate?

Trol didn't get hurt by my full auto...

Yeah, that's 'cause I didn't roll for you to shoot at the medic. 

Oh come on guys, give me a chance.

Besides, Serious, you have 56 HP and the battle's almost over. It's not like I'll kill you in one hit.

Kill her outright? Probably not. (Then again this is Tarran we're talking about.)

_{Of course, having everyone in the "Warning" zone for health might make the boss fight harder...}


I'll give Trol an hour and then just assume he went with a good midline pulse.

There's a fun line between Fun and FUN.

Surge this bitch

To what degree?

(Light, mid, or heavy, or beyond.)

Tarran Smith

Fire my Jormungandr. Fire, fire, fire!

You let loose on the stunned independents, taking advantage of their panic and disorientation. [Quickshot 4, 3, 2] [Ivan, independent armor 3, 4] The assault rifle cuts into the fray, hitting ivan and punching holes in his armor as well as striking -though not wounding unfortunately- another independent.

Ivan is wounded, Tarran's assault rifle is out ammo.

Ivan

It's not real, you aren't a woman. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET OVER YOURSELF BITCH!

Ivan steels his mind, and gets shot by Tarran. Cursing and trying to sort out which parts of his body were not imaginary Ivan fires back. [Quickshot 3-1] The shot goes above Tarran's head, hitting nothing but air.

Trol Grane

damn.
Kill Miss medic with my knife

You like this knife, you threw this knife into an officers brain when he was pointing a shotgun at you. This knife is going to kill that medic. Now. [Dex 3] You catch up to where the medic tripped in her haste to flee from you and attack, [Melee 2-1 Vs Dodge 4+1] the medic rolls to the side and kicks out at you. [Melee 3 Vs Precognition 4-1] You feel it coming and step to the side, moving just out of the path of the blow.

Taric Sizier

Keep doing it

You keep the psychic pressure up, [Mind bend 5 Vs will 4,2,4,3,3,3 -1 all] (-25 Stamina) and you manage to reinforce your initial work.

Opponents Psychological trauma will not degrade this turn.
You are fatigued.

Dominique Wakeman

Dominique blinked and looked over at Taric. "Uh, what the hell did you do?" she asked, intuiting that whatever had just happened to the enemy party, it was his doing. Well, she might as well take care of his distraction while he was providing one. Drawing the carbine, she sprayed acid at the group; might as well not waste an opportunity to get them all while the getting was good, she felt. Besides, they deserved it after shooting her in the damn shoulder again.

Okay, well Taric can go do his thing, you'll stick to what you know works. You level the carbine at the group of independents and spray. [Quickshot 3] You get two of them pretty well, [Independent luck rolls 4,3] one just gets his armor coated the other has a bit of his exposed tissue in it too. Nasty stuff.

Independent's armor is coated in acid.
Independent is covered in acid and hurt.

Nova grenade

Jump up and explode

Whirring happily at having reached maximum capacity the grenade bounces into the air like a happy puppy. Well, that is with the distinct difference that happy puppies aren't general hazardous to your continued existence. [Luck rolls 2,5,6,4,2,1-1 -1 all] The same poor kneeling fellow who was nearest the grenade and subject to the incredible cold suddenly finds himself decapitated by the blade of fire. Another two are thrown over the edge of the platform by the blast. One manages to hit the deck in time and drag Ivan down with him to escape the blast. The last independent doesn't drop fast enough and gets a heavy burn across shoulders.

3 Independents killed.
1 Wounded

---

Independent Group

Scream, flail, time permitting do something useful.

[will 3] Male independent still stunned. The male of the remaining pair is still completely useless, yelling and grabbing at himself on panic. The woman focuses, trying to shut out the sensation. [Mind bar 3-1] She can't manage to get away from Taric's mental tampering long enough to focus though, and her forming psychic barrier is tatters before it's even ready.

---

Medic

Get the knife away from this lunatic!

[Melee 3+1 Vs Precognition 4-1] The medic lunges for Trol's wrist and catches it, twisting sharply [Str roll 4 Vs 3-1] something pops inside with a flash of ht pain and the Knife drops from Trol's hand.
