Jake Leedium
With a quick angery glance at the officer's gear, Jake begins to move backward (south) slowly, still laying down his fire, in an attempt to hit anything. "Roger that, falling back."

Gills shouts as he moves northward (up on the map) to get a better angle of fire before opening fire,
Damn it this thing is starting to piss me off

SpoilerStrike 3, Gnarnia.
As Hender again fires at the worm, it strikes back at him at the opportunity provided.
SpoilerYou're using a ranged weapon, so it can take AoO on you. You're now 10' from it.

1 more point of hardness loss.
The worm's attack of opportunity against Hender knocks the huge Gear's gun wide and the shot hits sand in the distance.
Gills and Nick manage to get solid hits against the creature, although Gills' bullets seem nearly ineffictive and Nick's not too much better.
Bethela continues to shout out orders to fall back.
You all hear a rumbling and look around, only to see Emerson's Gear flailing about, sinking into the sand. Before anyone can do anything, the Gear disappears underneath the waves of the sand.
The sandworm again attacks Hender, the closest Gear.

Gills
After pulling back and opening fire Gills notices Emerson go down,
Holy ****! Emerson's down. I repeat Emerson is down.

I had a better response typed out then the forums went and crapped out on me.
Jake Leedium
Seeing Emerson's gear go down, Jake shows his shock in the slight batting of an eyelid. That was dangerously close to the Officer....
Moving back towards the group in an attempt to re-enforce the OIC, Jake lets loose another round of fire.

Nakiti Frinz
Cursing at the loss of the chaplain, Nik just keeps firing
Spoiler[roll0]Attack
[roll1] Damage
Bethela continues to shout at you all, and you notice her voice crack sharper over the comms at the loss of the chaplain.
Concerted fire at the creature creates several more holes in it, and the thing roars in pain. It dives into the sand, and you can see it tunneling away at a very, very fast pace.
Within seconds, the thing is a hundred feet out under the sand, traveling away from you all.
Gills
Panting heavily into his comm unit Gills sighs as he lets his Gear go back into standby for the moment,
I don't know what the hell that thing was but I'll be damned if I'm not glad to see it go. Now what the hell happened to Emerson? I didn't think there were any pitfalls in this area.
Edit: Closed tags
Hender
Pitfalls? As if I didn't have enough reasons to hate this desert.
Hender brings his gear to a halt and opens the vent seals on his rifle to cool is off.
"Damn those sand worms. At least last time I had some other bastard to take all the hits. Any way we can get underground for here? Or is the poor sap as good as dead?"
Nakiti Frinz
Can't think of any. Anyone else got a way to get under the sand? Failling that, we probably should go on. If that things leaving, it might be bringing back friends.
Jake Leedium
Seeing the situation back under control. Jake moves over to the OIC's gear to act as living cover for the gear in the case of another attack.
Although slightly concerned by the sudden disappearnce of a team mate, Jake says nothing, believing the others will reach a conclusion on the matter shortly.
