ITT: We are in Giant Robots (Mekton RPG)

First topic message reminder :

May 23, Space Calendar 0111

Combat between the forces of the PDF and Republic of Gori has been ongoing for nearly four months. However, today, a new threat is due to appear. Into the scene enter three pilots with the PDF, on a routine survey mission.

Prologue: But, I'm not a pilot!

Aboard the Arcana, in the briefing room:

Captain Moses Hikari: "Okay, our intel reports that some Gori troops should be in the area. There's a small town nearby, though, so try to avoid collateral damage."

The captain looks pointedly at the gynoid sitting to his right, knowing fully that her mech is primarily built for heavy artillery bombardment.

"Now, seeing as how two of the... *looks irritated at the low number* three pilots assigned to this ship haven't seen any real combat before, I'll take a few minutes to make sure everyone is clear on standard operating procedure and their specific orders."

He falls silent and looks across the table.


Meanwhile, in the aforementioned small town, a young man is hanging about his room when he notices an unfamiliar object, a small golden cylinder...

The one-armed Gaki barely misses Lee with his axe.

Lee simply focused on the battle from the last attack, determined to finish this foe since it'd already moved into range and readied his beam-sabers to launch another dual attack.

"......"

Lee dashes past his one-armed foe, whose weapons all fall to the ground, sliced into scrap. Disarmed, but not undaunted, he prepares for the grim prospect of one-armed fisticuffs in a Humanoid Frame, not the best sort of situation.

-------------------------

Kyoko reaches the base of the hill, the display switches to a simple looping animation of a stick figure shoving a cylinder into the side of a hill.

"Dammit, what's this all about? We better hurry up!"

A faint glow becomes visible in the sky, like a star, but in the day.

Dodging now.

#2 'd10' : 4

Mizuki fires another 3 round burst at the first undamaged enemy she sees.

'd10' : 3

The gaki pilot, likely driven by sheer terror from having seen the fates of his two friends, manages to barely dodge to the side as the shells fly past. Fortunately, they land harmlessly in the woods, rather than somewhere in the nearby town.

"Oh no you don't."

Jacob turned over to the Gaki that Lee was fighting and fired a burst of autocannon rounds into it.

The member 'Sparty McFly' has done the following action : Dice roll

'd10' : 6

The gaki, having just narrowly avoided three massive cannon shells, manages to also evade Jacob's autocannon fire.

"One slimy son of a bitch. Must have fired too soon."

Disarmed in more ways than one, the Gaki next to Lee dives toward him, and the pilot ejects. Moments later, the Gaki explodes, its power plant set to overload.

TUTORIAL: Power plant explosions: Everything in adjacent panels takes 1d10 Kills, in this case, 8. However, this stuff takes a moment to go off, so having predictive software will allow a Piloting roll to get the hell out of there. The target number will be equal to twice the number of kills done by the explosion. So, basically, make an Evasion check, and get 16 or better.

1d10 + 13

...I gotta get 3. Here goes nothing...

...And because my connection died AGAIN...well, I better roll since it screwed up...-_-;

The member 'Satan-Sama' has done the following action : Dice roll

'd10' : 9

Lee: ...That was close. I'd avoided another close call. Still, time to wrap this up...! *attacks with his dual sabers* ROLL!

1d10 + 14

The member 'Satan-Sama' has done the following action : Dice roll

'd10' : 2

...Rolling.

The member 'Satan-Sama' has done the following action : Dice roll

'd10' : 5

The Gaki's right leg is severed in a shower of sparks, and the mech falls to the ground. However, it is still capable of combat, though now immobile.
