"Talk about a tough crowd..." Thyr grumbles. Not a single person had noticed his dynamic entry. "Oh well. Not important." He was, after all, here to do justice and help protect the innocent citizens of this town. Dramatic entrances were just the icing on the cake. And now, he had far more important things to worry about: Namely, the giant spider trying to wreck everything in sight. "Right then. Time for fire support." As he speaks, his hands blur, changing the Holy Caster out for the rifle slung across his back. The paladin doesn't bother raising the rifle to take precise aim at the thing, instead he opts for multiple quick shots. The sound of three gunshots rings out across the battlefield, as a trio of Armor Piercing Rounds speed through the air for the giant spider.

The terrible arachnid continues its assault on the ground only to be momentarily unfazed by the man's fire arm shots. Which are blocked by its two massive drill fangs into somewhere else. defense. However the arachnid's defense seemed to have failed against the man in the hat. Who's plan simply consisted of rushing at it and hitting it even harder at hopefully a weaker area. swordery defense.

Wrasslin turns his attention away from the boss to drop down over one of the statues- but they were already dead! "HAHAHAHAHA!" he laughs as he falls in a cross shape. Jumping back up with his mighty quads and beautiful glutes (which he honed for the sloots), Wrassling reached upward with his hands as if to grab the boss, and with the fervent anger of having lost gains coupled with his manlet rage, crush the boss.

Hiraku glanced back up at the Robotic Arachnid, as he firmly held onto his briefcase. Hiraku smirked as he rushed in and swung his briefcase at the horrific creature.. "You will fail in stealing the... Whatever that artifact was. I don't know, nor do I particularly care about that. YOU INTERRUPTED A BUSINESS MEETING, PLUS YOUR EMPLOYEES DESTROYED MY SUIT, AND FOR THAT YOU SHALL PAY!"

It seems that Wrasslin's new found state of weakness was a bit too much and as such. The spider-scorpion amalgamation effortless shook off his attempt in a rather literal manner. However it did not successfully multitask as it left an opening for Hikaru's attack. Which left it getting smacked rather hard by his briefcase.defense.

Letting out a bellowing moan the arachnid called upon from the heavens. Brand new allies as the same winged statues they fought appear. However it was only two who rained down into the ground cracking it. As two new angels appeared hover close to the boss. Summoning angels. Having done that its tail began to expand and slightly change shape as energies began accumulating rather visibly and audibly on the point of its tail.
IMMA CHARGING/FIRING MUH LAZER[Power move with activation and AOe x2 -2 to defense pool]

Freya pulled back her Puppet from the wound she had it inflict upon the giant spider/scorpion thing. Others made attempts to attack it, some hitting, some not. Freya doubted that even her own attack, though drawing what looks like the creature's own version of blood, barely did anything to phase it. It summoned more statue angels to assist it, before doing so etching both interesting and strange with its tail. From its point, energy could be seen and heard accumulating. Freya had her puppet go into a guarding position, in a futile attempt to protect herself.

M23 looked at the giant laser for a bit before decided its best bet was to activate shielding (8) and simply started to hit the spider (6) in hopes of making it stop doing things.

The spider seemingly keen on the fact that its adversaries noticing it was charging an attack managed to successfully block the attack.defense

Defendia saw the giant spider monster charging its most likely deadly beam. "I won't let you do that!" She magically fired another shield at the beast, then took cover behind a a nearby wooden crate.

Seeing the creature visibly accumulate energy on its tail (guess it was a scorpion instead of a spider, then), Jack decided it was time to do his move. He clapped his hands twice and the knives he'd previously thrown in the air all shot towards the arachnid's eyes at the same time, seeking to blind the thing. It wasn't looking very good, however. That pissed Jack right off. It just hadn't been his day, even if he wasn't hurt yet, and he was just not taking this shit anymore.While he was taught that he should scream in defiance or strike a cool pose or something in such a situation, he just took a short moment to focus and then snapped his fingers.

Seemingly out of nowhere more knives shot towards the creature's eyes, definitely more than what he'd thrown up before. While it looked simple enough, it was a straining attack and one of the best shots he could take, so now it was time to haul ass and try to avoid the telegraphed giant laser of doom coming his way. Luckily for him, the many toppled and demolished buildings gave him an edge as he quickly dashed around the many hiding spots, entering through massive holes in stone only to emerge out of a roof or through a window in a different structure, using the terrain to seek a good cover spot.

(Health 40, endurance 30. -10 for powermove, -20 for drama die)

The battle was certainly taking its toll on the robotic arachnid as it managed to to absorb both the blows of not only the magic shield but also the rain of knives. Part of its array of eyes soon lost their dangerous red glow when some of the knives managed to crack or damage the aforementioned area. Such was the shock of such a lose of its sensors that it momentarily caused the scorp-bot to flinch as its tail laser flickered off for a moment.

"Well, I guess I'll need something a bit bigger for this one..." Thyr's hands blur again, as he returns the rifle to its holster on his back, and pulls out the Holy Caster. Once he's got the weapon out, he darts to the side, trying to circle around and flank the thing. As soon as it's distracted enough, Thyr raises the weapon and pulls the trigger. A (holy) grenade blasts out of the weapon, sailing through the air for the large monster. The paladin doesn't even stop to see if he hit, instead opting to dive behind some rubble. While in cover, he sets about quickly reloading his weapon.

Hiraku quickly flexed, (perhaps he felt the rush of heroism...) as he pointed his briefcase towards the Robotic Arachnid. "I shall show you yet again, the FURY OF A DILIGENT SALARYMAN!" He rushed towards the Robotic Arachnid as he jumped up as he swung his briefcase at the creature. "You will PAY FOR MESSING WITH BUSINESS!"

The grenade manages to catch the spider within its holy blast radius and gives it a decent enough punishment. The incoming briefcase smackdown is less successful as a stray leg blocks the attack in a mechanically precise manner. defense: 4 defense: 12

Acting fast the man in the hat quickly draws his sword and hastily makes a slice at it. Unfortunately it seems his precision was off as it only gets parried by yet another appendage of the massive mechanized monster.
defense: 12 atttack: 8

The monster sensing its time drew near by the way they had hacked away at its exterior began to glow. parts of the armored shell began to shift and move as currents of brightly colored lines showed all over its body. And these currents began to flow faster and faster as its tail began to gather energy. Until it reached its buildup and released a massive thick lazer beam of bright almost white blue color that swept the streets and damn near hit everyone involved. Suicide attack: 15 aimed @Freya's puppet, mariachi samurai, Wrassling, Jack, Freya, Thyr.
The surrounding area of that attack was needless to to say ruined. But however there was a silver lining to be had after such a mighty attack the spider stood still. Well somewhat still as the attack had left it jittering as visible sparks and electrical arcs and what not were coming out of it as well as a great big plume of steam too.

defense roll corrected:6

The beam blasted through the place like a...giant laser beam blasting through a place. The Armor puppet wasn't destroyed, but it was immediately disconnected from Freya's magic. Freya, now faced with no puppet to assist her defence, placed her full force and effort into surviving the laser. She ran, trying to get out of its way. She climbed a house as fast as a rat scurries across the floor, but the laser still hit her in a way. The shockwave caused by its force obliterated the side of the house she climbed up on, launching her to bash through several walls.
Freya just barely survived the attack, falling to the ground, barely having enough energy to move.

Freya HP = 1

Tanya shouted from the sidelines, safely out of the way of the laser. "Alright, M-23! Overdrive 108 authorized!"
"CONFIRM."
"FINISH HIM!"
"AFFIRMATIVE."
M-23's back opened and unfolded, venting steam and exposing the giant glowing red weak point built into the robot's chassis.
"CHARGING."
The machine's hands locked together and glowed a bright orange, vanes splitting into what looked, at a distance, to be a hundred narrow arms.
"SHIVA HAMMER"
M-23 brought its hands down with the force of The Destroyer himself.
"EXECUTE."

The spider had no chance at doing anything as it ultimatly the attack it made. Left it vulnerable to that righteous strike that smite it into the ground and sent bits and pieces everywhere in the ruined town. The sun set solemnly set over the town further illuminating its sorry state amidst the flames and debris and casting everything in an orange tint

Hiraku looked upon the destruction of the creature with wonder. He reached into his pants pockets, as he recovered his glasses and placed them back on his face. "Well then, now I can finally attend to ACTUAL BUSINESS." he said. "... Quite the annoying distraction from actual business practices." Well on the plus side, at least I have a short story to tell the family at dinner. he thought to himself. ... I need another fresh suit. he pondered. Well, Hiraku was positive he could fine a good intact business suit somewhere in the ruins of the city. He adjusted the brim of his glasses.

The blast completely demolished the still standing remains of several buildings close to the mechanical creature. And from the rubble emerged Jack, covered in dust but completely unharmed beyond a little bump he took when the building he was in collapsed under his feet. Despite his comparative lack of muscle power he broke through the debris like a beast, still brandishing one of his many knives, and looked around still expecting a fight. Then he saw the wrecked arachnid and realized he hadn't taken a single scratch during the whole fight. Even his clothes were completely fine. "YEAH! FLAWLESS VICTORY! YOU DON'T FUCK WITH JACK LOCKWOOD!" he screamed into the air raising his knife...rather heroically.

Amidst the smoking debris of now ruined arachnid bot a figure fell directly down from the darkness sky making a metallic thud. Arising almost dramatically atop the scrap heap was a nude man. Or rather partially nude as he was conveniently censoring the mysterious regions of where his pants would be with a hat. With a subtle flapping a set of fold clothes came falling right to an outstretched hand followed by a large dust plume. Meanwhile the priestess amidst the ruined center could help but blush while feeling a certain part of her brain burn out at attempting to process this.

Soon forth the remaining guards of the city led the brave warriors to the temple and to the priestess. Amidst this small courtyard did she meet them saying, "On behalf of the temple I thank you all, however there is something much more important to discuss. Come follow me here." Leading them through an area of pillars and then to a small box like structure of stone and precious metal that lead way to this catacomb. Inside it had frescoes and all sorts of iconography and decorations.
