[OOC] Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

[Ariamis]

My post is now ready, I'm just waiting to see if I get the grids for it first.

Edit: Grids are coming sometime this evening or tomorrow, so expect a new post tomorrow.

Doom Squad enters the slaughter. Note that Celeste's reaction shot happened, so she may not attack this turn.

Mist Info

Mist's effective radius is in squares completely inside the circle; less than 50% overlapped squares don't count. Circle's radius is medium range for weapon ranges. Framewerks can both move two squares in both axis and attack in the same post, with diagonal movement limited to one square while attacking. Framewerks can fully dash 4 squares without attacking, and diagonally can move two without attacking. The exceptions are both Yeager when using boosters and Jetto Chosa in jet form; both can add three squares to their axis movement and two squares for diagonal movement. Always specify where your Framewerk ended up at the end of your post. For example, Logic Gate moved to E3 (haha).

[AtomicNut]

Didney worl.

[Ariamis]

@AtomicNut
Aw phooey.

[Ammokkx]

Somehow we're still in this.

Somehow.

EDIT: Y'know, I find it funny to picture a convoy of tanks dragging an oversized pistol.

[Evil Snowman]

@Ammokkx Likewise all those tanks just to recover a pistol.

[Mr Rage]

OK, Joppa team. First order of business we need to discuss is getting paladin out of firing range. But what next? My initiAl thought would be to fire on the three CWMs about to eat Mai. But there is also the option of starting the indirect barrage on the Mist, which seams like an important thing to address. I feel like caregiver can deal with the tentacle beast. I'll deal with the tentacle beast in F2. So, I would recommend Elora keep up scanning and staying alive. Learn as much as we can about those around us. So. Paladin, if you have enough range, move from the building and start bombardment AROUND mist. Blow stuff up around it to do AOE damage. Blow up barrels, yo. Except that Mai is immobilized, so level the cwm, if you have the range to do it. Caregiver, how much range do your medibots have? If possible get them to fixing up Mai.

That would be my plan, anyways.

[DarkRecon]

...sorry all...but my opinion is to either stop or brace for whatever Mist is preparing to do. Mai followed orders to the end. Ariamis said it too. Mistakes now will get characters killed so if this turns out to be my last moment in the RP, it was a trip ^_^

[Ammokkx]

caregiver

@Mr Rage

Taker.

Careborrower

[Evil Snowman]

@Mr Rage Once again good sir it is Caretaker. You know this is almost a running gag. Also I don't think Paladin could indirectly arm the mist it's sitting in the sky above the colony. So hitting crap on the ground I'm pretty sure wont work. Also remember energy damage is the only known way to damage it. (@Ariamis please correct me if I'm wrong.)

@DarkRecon You make it sound like I'm trying to get Mai killed. Which may or may not be the case. I'll admit to nothing right now. XD If anything Mai dying would be trying to keep Katya believable (as in misses things and makes mistakes.) E.g nearly getting Zero blown up ... which by the way was still accidental.

I've got a plan in the works just rereading the boss's post to pull out all the info he/she as provided. Will say this @Mr Rage is right on what I plan on having Katya and Zero do, Everything else still working out. Tomorrow I'll have what I think orders and stuff should be worked out. Given work provids plenty of time to think it over. So I'll stick up my idea tomorrow. So far Zero is somewhat thinking along the same lines as me. (you know what they say about great minds and stuff.)

[Ammokkx]

You guys have it easy. The only plans I can come up with for our map are fucking batshit insane.

I thought about having Yeager carry Magus and bodyslam into the sniper. That amount of batshit.

[Evil Snowman]

@Ammokkx Great plan! The workings of a strategic mastermind.

@Evil Snowman

I literally can't think of a way to keep both Magus and Yeager alive without resorting to some jank shit, tho ;~;

[Evil Snowman]

@Ammokkx Sometimes you need that "jank shit" to get stuff done. Reading how screwed you people are in Alpha almost makes me glad I'm not in Troas with you lot.

Still if all else fails you could get on your knees and beg the Cruxi not to kill you. Who knows maybe they'll take pity on you and let you people live. Sure they'll slaughter the colony like a pony in a lasagna factory but you guys will get to live.

@Evil Snowman

I don't even know what to do with my own damn character. Her entire mech's about to break down due to using up too much energy, and she's got three things on her back. If Sigma covered for the north, she'd be on her own. If Sigma covered for her, jank shit needs to happen for Yeager and Magus.

Hell, the best plan I could come up with for the southern was tossing the barrier wing in the face of one CWM and slicing the other, having Sigma shoot the tentacle beast in the crotch face and have her move one to the left for protection. Yes, you read that right; Serah needs to toss the only thing between her and a melted framewerk into one of their faces. This is how messed up the situation is.

I'm surprised my dumb plan from last turn even worked, all things considered.

[Ariamis]

I approve of any jank shit happening alongside thinking outside the box.

@Ariamis

So then, let me ask; Is it possible for Yeager to carry Magus whilst still doing a seven tile dash to crash into the sniper so they're knocked down and can't retaliate whilst also being out of range of all other cruxi mechs?

Because if so, that was basically the plan I came up with.

EDIT: Also, tossing the barrier wing was going to be so it exploded in one of their faces long enough for them to be distracted and Serah to get out of that mess without getting shot at... hopefully.

An alternate plan was overloading the blade and positioning Serah behind one of the CWM's, then slashing through the first whilst firing off one of her sickles for the second so it cut through the both of them (and maybe hit the beast if she were lucky)

[Ariamis]

@Ammokkx
If Magus doesn't resist the maneuver then sure, it's possible. As for Serah, both options are possible.

[Ammokkx]

@Gate Keeper@Dragoknighte ALRIGHT LADS.

YOU DOWN FOR SOME STUPID SHIT?
