The giant mech ignores everything, including Rock Star's loud entry, and glides over to the smallest building, mostly billboards, and smashes it with both hands. The damage to the building is considerable; large chunks fall into the streets.

OOC: Note the change in the previously posted map occurs at phase 28, using the map's scale and some trigonometry, the distances between the characters can be calculated and range mods identified. The peculiar double slashes and obscure character groups are artifacts from using SuperCalculator2 to do the math
distances:
//All figures in game inches before phase 28
trunc(6*sqrt((6^2)+(4^2)))//distance to Mech from The Zenith is
43 (range mod -1)
trunc(6*sqrt((8^2)+(1^2)))//distance to Mech from Rock Star is
48 (range mod -1)
trunc(6*14)//distance to Mech from Saber 7 is
84 (range mod -2)
trunc(6*sqrt((9^2)+(4^2)))//distance to Mech from Agent 9 is
59 (range mod -1)

//All figures in game inches after phase 28
trunc(6*sqrt((11^2)+(4^2)))//distance to Mech from The Zenith is
70 (range mod -2)
trunc(6*sqrt((13^2)+(1^2)))//distance to Mech from Rock Star is
78 (range mod -2)
trunc(6*19)//distance to Mech from Saber 7 is
114 (range mod -2)
trunc(6*sqrt((14^2)+(4^2)))//distance to Mech from Agent 9 is
87 (range mod -2)

Rushing forward, The Zenith takes her full height of thirty-five feet, her belt and outfit growing with her.

Though still significantly smaller that their foe, she suspects she can use her budding knowledge of leverage and balance learned from Hideki Matsumoto, her judo master.

The Zenith darts forward, and with the aid of a force field beneath the mech's foot tosses it down to the pavement.

OOC: the mech is prone, and has some minor scratches on its back.
The Zenith used an action to create the force field beneath the mech's foot, and as the weight of the robot was applied to the force field, the field 'repulsed' 23 points of damage which costs eleven points of power

Agent 9 will move to within optimum weapons range and try to shoot a rocket at the head of it while it is still on the ground and then move to close as much distance as he can.

Saber-7 skated up to 90' from the fallen titan and, having unlimbered its gauss cannon... fired.  A crackling beam of emerald hellfire lanced out towards the massive bot...


22:23, Today: Saber 7 rolled 17 using 1d20-3.  Disintegration Ray.
That's probably a miss.

Agent 9's mini-missile strikes the 'head' of the mech and explodes, leaving obvious damage in its wake. The emerald energies from Saber 7's gauss cannon scour the surface of the mech's 'torso', leaving behind a thinner and pitted surface.

[Technical: The mech is the size of a small building, lying in the street. To miss it requires that you miss, literally, the broad side of a barn. I took Saber 7's attack roll as damage. Awaiting Rock Star's first action]

While we are waiting, did the disintegration ray expose anything that looks fragile or vulnerable?

Obviously the thing wasn't a music lover. Rock Star moved in close but out of reach of the things massive hands and fired off a blast of focused light. Hoping to at least add a little damage to the thing.

OOC
08:29, Today: Rock Star rolled 18 using 4d8+2.  Damage.

08:28, Today: Rock Star rolled 8 using 1d20+2.  Attack with light control.

Rockets in various places on the huge mech's back lift it off the ground and rotate it upright. Two 3' in diameter balls, small relative to the mech, roll out of the mech's heels and start spewing clouds of noxious gas.

OOC: On phase 13, the mech stands and fills the area with irritant gas (similar to tear gas). d20 save vs Endurance or be sick to retching, those that fail to save lose their last phase each turn and are -6 to hit and damage (due to retching) even those that save are -2 to hit and damage due to vision conditions (having exceptional senses of some sort negates these penalties)

The gas smelled pleasant to the Grappler from another Galaxy, and she failed to comprehend the intent, as she went for a shoulder tackle attempting to spear the metal monstrosity.

02:26, Today: The Zenith rolled 4 using 1d20.  Endurance (15) save.
Can I attack, and if so what do I roll. Thanks.

Everyone moves in, closing on the destroying mech.


mechanics:
Agent 9 could take an action before the mech resumes an upright stance, I'll edit posts to retcon, if necessary. Currently:
ParticipantAction Phases
Agent 938238
Huge Mech2813
The Zenith2611
Rock Star249
Saber 7216

I have attempted to record power expenditures on your character sheets, please correct any I've mishandled. The mech is treated as level 4, and has robotic body as a defense. Hand to hand attacks begin at 0 to hit (modified by accuracy, etc).
The Zenith's intended attack is hand to hand, to hit roll would be three or less. A condensed explanation of combat (including what die to roll to hit) can be found here.

The Zenith misses by a wide margin!

Saber-7 didn't react to the gas, seemingly as unmoved and unliving as the titan they fought.

Rotating its gauss cannon, it fired another unearthly beam of crackling green energy, focusing on the same area it had hit before.

08:54, Today: Saber 7 rolled 4 using 1d20.  Disintegration Ray, +3 to hit.
08:54, Today: Saber 7 rolled 15 using 1d20+3.  Disintegration Ray damage.

As the gas begins to pump out of the giant Agent 9 makes a funny face and sniffs the air before shrugging and firing his MissKelly launcher again as he looks for a way to climb the juggernaut.

9 for Endurance and 15 to hit.

Agent 9 misses. The mini-missile streaks into the sky, where it explodes.
Saber 7's disintegration ray does further damage to the torso of the mech.

OOC: A 4 misses?  Disintegration Ray starts at 15 or less, and I have a +3, so that's 18 or less.  Robotic body offers no defense, and the level adjustment is -3 so that's back to a 15?

No worries, just making sure my math wasn't horribly off and/or there wasn't some other forces in play!

Agent 9 pauses for a fraction to think before again shaking his head “ Well Hi yourself “ he says to the mech before broadcasting to the team members as he moves to the hatch on the ankle. “Ok team there seems to be an access hatch on the head and this ankle. How about some of you fly people see if you can get that thing open up there while I work on this one” he will the attemp to grab ahold of the ankle and move to where he can try to get a hand hold to pull on.

"I'm gonna run out of power before I melt that thing," Saber-7 said mechanically.  It was literally 1/6 the size of the towering giant.  It was like an old GI JOE figure fighting a man.

But then Agent 9 spied a weakness, and rallied the (team?).

"I don't fly," it said, "But I skate.  Let's go for the ankle door.  My gauss cannon might do it."

OOC: I think we're done with the turn, should I post an actual action yet?
