Paro Posted April 19 Author Clone Share Posted April 19 (edited) ~ Day 61, 2400 (21:20 hrs remain) Zebulon System ~ MAX-23 opened up a panel to view the internal workings of the table's electronics. Sure enough, it was still functioning with power at least. There were a few blinking LEDs and some on steady, even though the rest of the table tope was dark. It was going to take him a moment to quickly ascertain what was going on inside. Ganging up on the robot to try and free Lira from its claw grip was proving to be very difficult. The hard metal panels were resistance to blunt force and Niki failed to stab anything vital. In the chaos of the robot's arrival, the disguised Marlo was seen crouching under the table, and was observing MAX-23's efforts, but not offering any advice. Helm and Denn had not stayed put, but had moved away from the robot and were a few booths away and disappearing into the crowd of other fleeing patrons climbing and scrambling over the booths to escape another way since the robot was blocking the easy path.

Sala Posted April 20 Clone Share Posted April 20 (edited) Thoth Gesheer, Captain of the Gullwind Blunt force proving ineffective, Thoth grabs a glass of... something from one of the tables next to them and splashes it into the robot's eyes, hoping to hinder its visual sensors. While the struggle continues against the robot, Alyson notices the other two conspirators fleeing. She grabs her sonic stunner - disabled for now, but hopefully not if she got further away... and hopefully not for long with MAX at work. She jogs after them through the crowd, keeping her eyes on Wessex in particular. OOC Rolled Science for MAX and got a 5 on the previous post. If that means he can roll to disable now as part of his previous action, I also rolled a d8 for it there, whichever skill it uses. Science, Repair and Electronics are all d8. Thoth attempts a Smarts Test to Distract the robot and give it a roll penalty. Alyson draws her sonic stunner and follows Denn, trying not to lose him in the crowd.

Paro Posted April 22 Author Clone Share Posted April 22 ~ Day 61, 2400 (21:20 hrs remain) Zebulon System ~ Alyson darted to the left, maneuvering around the towering robot in an attempt to catch sight of the other patrons seated with Thoth. Her eyes scanned the chaotic scene, searching for Denn among the panicked crowd. Amidst the frantic movements, she caught a glimpse of a golden-skinned man who seemed to be making a hasty exit, shoving other patrons aside. He was not Denn so she tried looking over a booth and could not see Denn anymore from this angle. The robot's cutting torch lashed out, narrowly missing Thoth as it scorched a chair beside him. Though the machine still had Lira in its grip, its focus seemed divided, neither releasing her nor tightening its grasp. MAX-23 was able to quickly ascertain the power coupling circuits of the table were there inside and by all indications still active. He was not sure why the tabletop was dead with the pedestal still active, but something was causing the jamming. He clipped the power feed to the table, and it sparked a bit and the whole pedestal when suddenly dead, the LEDs inside blinked out. While he could not really see very well from under the table, everyone else saw the other 5 booths come back to life with their electronics.

Sala Posted April 24 Clone Share Posted April 24 Thoth Gesheer, Captain of the Gullwind The welding torch zips past Thoth's head, leaving behind a head that scorches his fur and brows. Fear and adrenaline rush through him, in a strange sort of thrill. At least he'd taken its attention off of crushing the life out of Lira. Nikki attempts to wedge her knife into the servos of its gripping arm and help her wiggle her way free before she regains its attention. When the electronics come back on, Granger adjusts his stance and kicks back out of the robot's reach, in preparation to fire up his blaster. OOC Granger uses the Defend action and moves out of melee with the robot, provoking an attack. Nikki uses Athletics to Support Lira's attempt to break free. Lira attempts to escape its grapple.

Paro Posted April 25 Author Clone Share Posted April 25 ~ Day 61, 2400 (21:20 hrs remain) Zebulon System ~ Granger crouched into a fighting stance and stepped backwards with his hands ready. He was prepared and looking for that movement from the robot he knew was coming as he disengaged from the close-quarters melee. He easily dodged the clamping appendage that swung towards him. "Ha, you, mothamawker! You have to do better than that grap!" he taunted the machine. With Nikki leaping up to pull on Lira's waist, the extra weight helped with the woman's kick against the metal carapace of the robot to break free of its clamping grip on her. "Nice! Now let's get out of its reach!" OOC Map Notes: Orange Circled Booth where everyone was playing. Red circled tables are back live again.

Sala Posted Sunday at 04:44 AM Clone Share Posted Sunday at 04:44 AM Thoth Gesheer, Captain of the Gullwind With their weapons online, Lira sets aside her earlier plan of desperation and follows Granger's lead with a cautious retreat. She uses her Chronocomm to project a holographic image into the robot's visual sensors to disrupt it before the team backs off. Thoth is the last, his short legs preventing him from getting clear before the robot can respond. Powering up his laser pistol, MAX takes methodical aim at the robot's critical components, allowing his allies time to clear the line of fire. Granger does the same with his blaster. Left high and dry as Wessex escapes, Alyson turns back towards the struggle. Her sonic stunner will likely be of little use against the robot, so she stands uncertainly for a moment, thinking of a way to help. OOC Lira uses a Smarts Test on the robot to Distract it, then moves away, spreading out to the north. MAX uses the Aim maneuver. Granger uses the Aim maneuver. Nikki Defends and moves away from the robot, spreading out to the south. Alyson Holds her action until after Thoth.

Paro Posted Tuesday at 01:47 AM Author Clone Share Posted Tuesday at 01:47 AM (edited) ~ Day 61, 2400 (21:20 hrs remain) Zebulon System ~ Lira's trick worked, at least the flailing of the robot did not catch her as she backed away. She was able to move next to Granger as the gunner was using the back of the booth beside him to help steady his aim at the metal machine. Nikki was also able to get clear, and moved to the stairs. The robot kept its primary photorecepters on Thoth, apparently and the laser cutter torch scorched his jack, burning a hole through it. It was a close call to severing and cauterizing his arm.
