Roll 30: Air Support!
-------------------------------------------------------------
---Players---
Sareesa-4-The alien stirs, then realizes his predicament.
He looks down, then at the no-longer glowing red object.
He then looks at you. "Whaddya want?"
"First of all," You start,
"I'd like you to explain how I can suddenly make things explode when I fail to kill them."
"Well, I don't know how it works."
"How are you speaking so clearly?"
"Same kind of device. It lets me speak like the elites."
"Don't they tell you anything?"
"Something about the fourth wall... err... dimension. That's the word. It utilizes temporal mechanics to change the way physics work. It's quite complicated, really."
"Alright. Now tell me why your race came here."
"The island, of course."
"The one I'm standing on?"
"Yes. There's something hidden inside. We were ordered to basically hold out to let the exalted escape."
"The exalted? Who are these"
"You saw the crawlers, right? They're given the least ability with some kind of 'way'. It's in their religion. We bipeds are next up. We don't really have any sort of connection with the 'way' they keep telling us about. The exalted--at least that's what they call themselves--supposedly have the strongest connection. They are much smarter than we are."
"So one of them came to investigate the island, and they discovered a threat? Explain."
"Yes. This threat you talk about... we can't pronounce the name... but we just call it It. It is a sub-dimensional being that is simply hostile to everything. We don't know why. The exalted ran from It for centuries, and they thought they'd finally escaped It, but they found it again in the island."
"Man, you're easy to get information out of."
tl:dr Same thing the other guys found out, but with more detail
Gordon-5-"Command, I'm out of missiles."
"Roger that. We've sent in a drop pod."
The pod comes punching through the clouds as the Iron Hand hovers gently in orbit. The crate lands on a brute, crushing it under its weight.
Now to pick it up...
Rayn-6-Flying up into the sky, you catch a glimpse of the force you're dealing with. Before you can properly identify them, you duck behind a volley of shards from the dozens of bipeds attacking. Diving down towards them, you burn them to cinders before retreating behind a tower.
Taric-1-You go to sleep, and immediately wake up. Suddenly, Tarran grabs you and tosses you onto the ground for some reason.
Tarran-5-Grabbing Taric, you wake him up by knocking him down onto the ground. He is now awake, but a squad of elites just came out from around the corner. They promptly explode in a cloud of flame and energy.
Thea lowers her rifle and extends her wings.
Kir'Zhan-6-Kir'Zhan runs, and meets a crawler around the corner. He also sees a lone elite in the distance, checking searching for you. He sees you and begins running towards you.
Zrk-3-"Command! There's too many of them! We need support now!"
"We are well aware. We're doing what we can, but our lightest orbit-to-ground weaponry is designed to level cities. You'll need to get off the ground before we can sue it. Gordon has a helicopter, and two wings of fighters are on their way."
Alright. At least they're not being totally useless. Meanwhile, numerous elites and brutes march onward.
