The Nest

I dunno, that table already withstood being kicked by a very strong person in medium power armor, so I'd say it is indeed a +5 masterwork table. Truly, the carpenter who made it was a man of skill and vision.

The drone trying to reach Rael might find ducking around the soldier more than a little hard, as he suddenly opens his wings, blocking the combat Drone's path with about five feet worth of metal plated wing. This should have the effect of halting it long enough that the winged soldier can slash at it, attempting to employ his ultra-sharp longsword to slice it in half, or at least damage whatever allows it to fly.

The others, however, employ something a little more deadly than bullets this time. Three short fuse grenades are hurled over the table, to land right next to the drones. A half second later they detonate, in a blast of fire and light, hopefully roasting the robots right through their anti-high-velocity shields. The soldiers themselves are well protected by their cover, although one has taken a bullet through his lung and is now coughing up blood, and the one who took a quill to the shoulder looks very ill.

Should the inferno have failed to deal with the robots, the eight healthy soldiers will dash out from cover, taking advantage of the fact the inferno grenade will have likely overloaded the drones's sensors for a few seconds, and slash at their robotic foes using ultra-sharp, reinforced steel sabers. Said weapons can deal with most protection short of heavy power armor, so they ought to be effective.

Icarus uses his own wings as a shield, tearing his cloak to shreds and revealing the sleek blue power armor beneath in the process, the metal plating around them deflecting most of the quills. Three break through though, impaling his wings, and he angrily opens fire again, firing twice more with the solar-powered laser pistol. The gauss rifle lies on the floor next to Rael.

It does help when you can simply have someone think of what they want, and it appears. Karyana made this specially for Rael when she was in her Forest.

Rael is struck by both of them, and now has severe burns on his arms and chest.

Rael grabs the gauss rifle, and tries to fire three bursts at Icarus, two to the torso and one to the head.
