Flora's mighty brickbat lays out three bosses and two plizogs in an arc of pain.
Multi-Roaches shotgun peppers them all with shot as they lie helpless. The plizogs use the opportunity to attack again. One hits, but this reactivates his armour which jerks him out of th way of their subsequent attacks.
8HP Damage Multi-Roach.
Ordus misses when he stabs the nearest porker while it's down, but stabs it through the brain as it tries to get up.
Flora is finally felled by the axe of the near-dead porker, falling gracefully to the ground in a shower of sap.
16HP Damage Flora. Please start making your survival rolls.
The porkers looting S'kaar hear that the battle still rages and pile into the melee.
The porker boss attacking Ordus brings its axe through the collection of rats, killing almost all the constituents. With a pop, Ordus' flame goes out as he lies dying in aggregate on the floor.
A single rat crawls away from the slaughter and burrows into the corpse of the porker Ordus just killed. There is a pregnant pause, then the corpse explodes into a gaggle of flaming rats, who quickly reform into Ordus mark II. The surprised porker that killed him is burned to death in Ordus' fiery aura, a look of extreme annoyance on his face. Two nearby porker grunts are also singed.
The roach sees Flora fall, and knows there is no hope, other than escape. As much as he would like to avenge her death-there are too many foes to defeat them all. He creates a duplicate in front of himself, and it blasts the two creatures harrying him. He takes advantage of the distraction in order to try to crawl away to the upper floor. However, he could lead the goons away. "COME GET ME, YOU PORK CHOPS!" He yells at the porkers as he skuttles up the wall and to the second floor.
(OOC-Standard action-Duplicate in front of Roach in order to absorb OA as he moves away.
Move action-moves to second floor. Where was the place on the second floor that was safe from the chopper?
duplicate action-shoots both dog-things attack the main multi-roach.

Multi-Roach tries to maneuver outside, but the two plizogs cam move faster than him and have the same wall-crawling abilities. His duplicate bloodies both of them with a shotgun, but one of the plizogs gets in a final bite that sends the roach falling to the floor with a splat!
14HP damage Multi-Roach. You are now dying, rules as per Flora and Bedlam.
Ordus skewers another porker with his spear. The remaining two bosses and porker converge on the burning pile of rats, along with two plizogs. His constituents are ripped to shreds, but once again one survives to crawl into a still-cooling corpses. Moments later another Ordus eats its way out of the corpse, bursting into flame again. One of the boss porkers is fatlly crisped and falls lifeless to the floor.
Next round, Ordus stabs ineffectually, but the remaining porker boss and foot soldier, survivors of a raiding party 25 strong, exchange glances and decide to cut their losses rather than fight a constantly respawning Ordus. They flee the building, calling their hounds with them.
Ordus stands swaying as his companions slowly bleed to death.
OK Ordus, first of all your are wounded. According to my Housed-Ruled Wound System you are on Wound Level 2, Weakened and Slowed! This will persist till you rest up back in Compton.
I will assume you can turn of your flame long enough to treat the wounded.
Would all players please roll 20 x d20 on the Dice Roller, and make sure Record all Dice is checked. Ordus is rolling first aid, the rest of you survival. Good luck!
Blinking her eyes she looks around the sky and tops of the ruined buildings for a few seconds wondering where she was until she remembered that the porkers had knocked her down and she must have passed out.
Every part of her body hurt and some more then others but she was ..breathing..anyway. Using her maul she regained her feet once more to see about the others and who was still alive.
Sighing with regret and a touch of disappointment, the Parliamentary Rattus turn to the others.
"We should probably get back to something resembling safety. We have hurt them, but not badly enough to remain here. And...something must be done for our companions."
Since they were just laying around(the dead porkers) she will help search the bodies for any goods that could be sold for profit.
Once that was done she looks to be sure no porkers were hiding and watching their movements, Well, i suggest that we head back to the outpost and sell what we have.
Bedlam wraps up the worst of his injuries and begins the clean up process.
"I agree, we should not linger," the big man looks around at the slaughter, regretting the loss of companions. "Ordus, let's get your possum rigged and loaded."
Bedlam uses Merlot's bedroll to gather up the felinoid's remains. He considers the scattered remnants of S'kaar. "Looks like most of S'kaar's bits have abandoned the congress."
OOC: Any chance Bedlam was functional soon enough to render aid to Multi-Roach? That second 20 I rolled might save him.
Of course, if Multi doesn't want to be saved...
Survivors carry their kit, food and water.
Priority of things going on the possum and carried out:
Swag - tech, barters(?), low-tech weapons
Companion Bodies (for recycling)
Helping pile bodys onto the a blanket and picks up ever equipment they can find she calms the nervous giant creature. I agree, lets depart before the porkers come storming back with reinforcements.
Shouldering her maul she marches along the road. This message was last edited by the player at 00:44, Thu 08 Sept 2011.
Bedlam ties up a huge load of swag in a couple bedrolls and attaches it to the end of his lamppost-maul. He frowns, watching Ordus limp around, a trail of injured, burning rats struggling to keep up with the collective.
"As much as I'd like to bring some bodies back for Compton's recycler, I'm afraid they'll slow us down too much. Sis, you and I can carry the swag. Ordus, I want you riding... and resting."
"Leave the porkers and plizogs where they lie."
Bedlam lays Multi-Roach and Merlot next to the freestanding remains of a ruined wall.
"Sis, gimme a hand with this, will ya?"
Together the giants topple the wall over the bodies of their fallen comrades. A few more large chunks of rubble ensure that nothing but the very largest (or very smallest) of scavengers will be able to get to them.
"Thinking 'bout coming back some time and doing them proper," Bedlam mutters as he makes a quick final check, shoulders his gear, and heads back for what passes as civilization.
OOC: per The Shadow's post in Meta, we left the cart and truck back in town, so we just have the possum. The giants carry the gear. The flaming rat horde rides the possum. We make haste to leave the vicinity. This message was last edited by the player at 22:45, Wed 07 Sept 2011.
With the possum carrying a posse of exhausted flaming rats and Flora and Bedlam weighed down with loot, you head back to Compton as fast as possible, every moment expecting an ambush from opportunistic scavengers or a lynch mob of indignant porkers. The fates smile on you, however, and you managed to exit the suburbs without trouble.
You troop back into Compton, much to the amazement of the locals - in fact, you see a lot of money changing hands as bets are settled. By the looks of it, most of the gamblers were betting against you!
Over the next few days you will be resting up and bartering your look.
- Everyone make a Conspiracy roll.
- You go through a painful alpha flux. Everyone pick the next mutation from your list (see here link to a message in this game)
- You can change/re-skinn any and all of your weapons if you wish. Also, you each get one more piece of Omega tech. I will be giving you all a choice of 3, watch your PMs.
- Don't forget to level up!
