((If the bear is somehow still alive next turn, I'm using the daily. This is nuts ))

((Hmm...use the daily and be guaranteed the kill, or use an at-will, save the daily, and risk missing?))

Thanks for the well-wishes. In order to succeed, three things will need to go perfectly:
1: Minimal hills between here and Reno. Donner Pass itself will unavoidably suck, but the fewer hills en route, and the gentler they are, the better. I'm hauling 42k pounds - any decent incline will slow me down. My truck is new and fairly powerful, but I can expect to be going at half-speed at most up anything steep.
2: No delays. No construction, no wrecks, no traffic. No restroom breaks, no naps, no feeling sick.
3: No ice on the road. Ice will force me to slow down, and I can't afford that. Thankfully temperatures are supposed to be pretty mild overnight.

Once I get over the pass and into California I'm pretty much home free. It's the first three-quarters of the trip which will probably raise my blood pressure more than is healthy :p

Gah, I've been gaining STR every level and I can still barely hurt these guys. I need to get Ursa a proper throwing axe soon.

Imma post to watch this. I'll link some sprites when I get back on my computer.

At the sight of another wave of enemies, Ursa leapt forward, hatchet already swinging.

: "Princess, RUN!"

Move to (15,5) and HURL Hatchet at the soldier!

So how's this for a possible promotion?

Class: Bandit
+5% SPD
Throwing (C), Axes (D)
Personal Skill: Ranged Fighter: When Ursa is attacked from outside melee range, +15 Evade.

Let me rephrase that: did they ever get used in action, or anywhere other than testing sites? Did they ever combat optical sensors like Guardian said they were designed to do? Were they even slightly practical?
