You can probably get one round of shots off at the quickdeath before they are in the middle of the Edestekai and you would risk shooting them.  Meanwhile, the Edestekai are getting ready to bolt, screaming, "The gods of justice have judged us unworthy!  This cause is unholy!"

S'Krllk will run towards the Edestekai, shouting at them, "Be not deceived, the vile Sathar have made a mockery of the god of justice with a mock god of justice..." here there is an interspersed bit of Vrusk that, loosely translated, involves an egg sac and a giant shoe... "... if they were truly the gods of justice, wouldn't they have arrived in something other than a worm-driven jeep!"

Becka jumps in too.  "Yes, they are deceiving you, my friends.  These are not the gods of justice."

"TAKE OUT THOSE QUICKEATH'S OR THE EDDIE'S WILL RUN AND WE'LL LOSE THE LINE HERE," Desiraye calls out to the other's.

Bartja agrees.  He fires at the nearest quickdeath before it can get to the edestekai.

"Stand your ground!" yells Sergi as he take a step forward and opens fire on the QD's  "...they are false gods, STAND YOUR GROUND!"

You work on trying to convince the Edestekai about the false gods.  They pause for a moment but then you see their panic, and they continue to flee, especially after the quickdeath nearest them grabs an Edestekai in its mouth and tosses it 50 feet away.

And then, Bartja's recoilless rifle fires into the nearest quickdeath, shredding it.  The Edestekai slowly turn.  "They are mortal!" one screams, and they all turn to help  fight the quickdeath.  "Kill the false gods!" screams another.

The quickdeath killed by Bartja slumps to the ground.  The other is too near the Edestekai to risk firing it without hitting your allies.

The Sathar see that their plan is not working, and they began to fire from a distance.

(NOTE:  I've been in and out of the hospital with my wife.  Sorry for the delays.)

Shifting his fire to the second quickdeath. The professor lets off a laser shot when he thinks its safest without hitting an Edestekai. Then he runs towards the ranks of his allies to give them aid.

Desiraye will also shift her fire to the remaining Quickdeath and fire another aimed shot/steadied shot (if possible) at it.

S'Krllk is relieved the line didn't fold. He relaxes momentarily, then realizes he is standing in the midst of a firefight with no fire of his own. Therefore he looks around for a weapon to use, unworried as to his own personal safety, as he hasn't been safe in so long he isn't sure what it means anymore.

Bartja turns his fire toward the Sathar in the back.

Skrllk finds he has spears around him but there are no fallen modern weapons.

The quickdeath attacks and kills 2 Edestekai with its claws and fangs.

The professor misses the quickdeath.  Desiraye hits it, and it turns its focus toward you.

Bartja misses, his shots flying far overhead and not even close.

Becka fires but misses.

Several of the Sathar turn and fire in your direction...Bartja is hit in the leg.  (8 dmg)

One of the Edestekai is hit by a Sathar and killed.

The Edestekai are caught in a moment of hesitation. Then one of them yells, "It can be killed!  It is a lie!  These are not messengers of the gods!"  They seem to be waffling back and forth, but now they are prepared to really fight.  (They will attack next round.)

The Edestekai turn to fight the Quickdeath.


Edestekai Remaining: 12

S'Krllk will grab a nearby spear, and hurl it in the general direction of the Sathar (as best he can, which is not all that good). Proof of his inadequacies on the battlefield is evident as the weapon does not pass the halfway point to its target before it hits the ground.

Except that they're firing from a distance of 50 yards.  You'd have to go after the quickdeath for close combat or run all the way up to the sathar and give them some free shots.

"Call in the airstrike now, just before we attack!"

 Frustrated at his lack of skill with the beam rifle, Professor Kri'lik focuses his attention on the remaining quickdeath and takes a few extra moments to aim before pulling the trigger. The quicker we kill the beast the more lives you will save. Comments the doctor to himself.

Desiraye will try and fire one more shot at the Quickdeath before the Edestekai try to engage the creature and or, before it reaches her (or anyone else).

You call in the kurabanda air strike.  They sweep in and land behind the Sathar firing lasers.

Desiraye hits the quickdeath, wounding it.  Three spears from the edestekai do it in.  With renewed courage, the edestekai rush forward toward the Sathar, who now find themselves surrounded on three sides, the edestekai (east), you (south), and the kurabanda (west).  They begin to run toward their vehicles.


OOC: Again, sorry for the delays.  Hopefully, we're back on track now!

OOC: No worries on the delays good sir!  We're all anxiously awaiting for your return when you're ready...

BIC: As desiraye watches the three sides begin to collapse in on the Sathar, she grabs her chronocom as she gets up and begins to didge and weave towards the Sathar and calls the others, "Close in on 'em before they get away!  I'm moving now!"

Bartja leaves his post and runs toward the sathar, ready to fire if he has a clear shot.

S'Krllk begins a full tilt run towards the Sathar vehicles.

The professor follows the rest, lending supporting fire as needed. As always he is on the look out for anyone that needs medical attention.

Becka runs forward, firing at the nearest Sathar.

Spears fly from charging Edestekai, kurabanda attack from behind, and lasers fire from just about every direction.

Among you, only Becka is hit...for 32 dmg from a Sathar's laser.

8 Edestekai remain after several are skewered with lasers and the last of the injured from the quickdeath have fallen.  16 more add to the numbers in the rear.

The kurabanda were a surprise and did not get harmed.  8 remain.

Desiraye and Bartja hit and take down 2 sathar.

The remaining 8 sathar are engulfed by Edestekai and Kurabanda arrows.  They never stand a chance as they are skewered by the melee weapons of these primitive tribes.

This battle is won!

OOC: I realized after I posted the move that I handled the air attack incorrectly.  It's supposed to take 3 turns, and they might drop grenades as they come in.  For that reason, since all survived, I will allow you to use the kurabanda attack one more time.  They will be in position to be called in when needed, but keep in mind these delays when deciding.  Due to the length of these posts/battles, I will only use a 1 turn delay, though, not 3.

With the battle clearly won on our part the professor lets out a great cheer of joy!
