Mirian

Screw it. Mirian ignores his scope, sighting the robots down the irons as he picks a bead on the closest one, firing the fifty caliber rifle.

"Taking the shot." he whispers over his walkie talkie headset.

Donald Tran

"I only count three, where's the fourth?"
Moving to take advantage of any available cover, Donald takes aim at the nearest of the robots and fires a round off at it.

Erik ducks behind a tree, brings up his M16, aims at the middle robot, and pulls the trigger.

Erik begins by taking the first shot, which seems to miss one of the robos. Mirian shoots, and scores a hit (I'm assuming the one closest to you in the treeline), puncturing it's armor. It seems to still be operational. Next, Kell lets off a round, and the shot misses and hits a nearby tree. Donald fires off a round and it too hits another tree. The robos take their shots, the first at Erik, and the other two at Kell and Mirian. The first shot gets clean through the trees, and hits Erik squarely in the chest for 6 damage. The second and third shots were not nearly so good, as if the robos are shooting blindly in your general direction, trying to hit something.

Calmly shifting his weapon to keep the one he shot still in sight, Mirian pulls the trigger again as he breathes out along with the weapon.

Spoiler


In his mind, he counts. Nine shots left.

Umph

Erik takes the shot to the chest, wincing, but grits his teeth and aims down the irons for another shot.

You've had worse. Keep it together and it'll be fine.

What kind of a shot was that, I could aim better during basic!

Correcting his aim, Donald takes a second shot at the same robot.

((OOC: Vaz, I like what you did, with the AC/HP listed below your character name during combat rounds. I'd like everyone to do that from now on (meaning you don't have to correct previous posts)))

Erik takes another shot, this time, not as good of a shot, seeing it *CLING* off the robo's armor. Miriam, enabled by his last shot, begins the breathing technique he learned from training, and squeezes off a round, and with a loud bang, the robo takes the round in the camera, taking off it's head, and providing enough force to knock it backwards, prone, and unable to make use of its treads. Kell fires again, and unfortunately misses again. Donald, frustrated with his last shot, lets off another round, this time hitting another robo in its chest, cutting through its armor like a hot knife through butter. Unfortunately, the shot did not seem to be able to disable the robo, but at least it can't get angry with you! The robos return fire. The first fires at Robert, and the second at Paul. Both shots miss, thankfully for both. Paul seems to be shaking with fear, maybe frozen in terror due to this being his first real combat encounter, maybe something else, and takes no action. Robert, in an attempt to flank the robos, moves north and west (new map below) to get in a better shot, but to no avail as his shot runs wild. Then, from the back side of the building that you previously had not been able to see from your current vantage points, emerges a large sized, bipedal humanoid robot, colored much like the others in a jungle camoflauge pattern, fires some kind of electrical shock at Robert, putting him on the ground, though weather it killed him or just knocked him out is unclear, and picks him up, turning to run the other way.

Next round's actions when you all are able.

Revised Map:

Erik Carlson HP:8/14 AC: 16

Erik begins moving northwest through the forest, closer to the building, trying to get a clear shot at the large humanoid robot without hitting Robert. As he fires, he shouts out at the new enemy:

Come back and fight, you son of a gun.

As Erik moves, he finds that trying to run through the jungle is nigh impossible, and only seems to be able to safely cover 1/2 the distance he normally would be able to in a clear area. He yells, "Come back and fight, you son of a gun!" as he squeezes off a round. His shot clangs off the bipedal robo's armor, barely missing the unconscience Robert. Mirian moves more to his right, and out into the clearing so as to attemt getting a shot off on the new enemy robo, but cannot seem to move far enough (Btw, I am presuming you wouldn't try to shoot if you can't see it so don't subtract that round you 'fired' on your char. sheet). Kell tries to move up and charge at the robos, but seeing that the jungle foilage will not allow it, moves up and to the east and fires off a round, that connects with the already damaged robo, destroying it in the process. Donald finds the same difficulty with moving quickly through the trees, and sees Kell destroy the robo she was aiming at. She knows that there is another over over there, in addition to the new enemy robo that Erik was trying to fire at. Paul still seems to be frozen in place. The new enemy takes off at a run to the west, around the building, still carrying an unconscience Robert. The last of the small robos moves its way to the south and a little to the west, and opens fire on Kell, but the shot misses.

Next round please.
