(OOC: Holy hell, a 1, a 2, and two 20s. Fate has a hand in this somewhere.)
Hei pulls back it's arm for a final strike, and cuts through the slug's neck and decapitates it. Hei is going to need a long wash when it returns.
The Runners are beginning to notice the slug on the right, although some still fight the slug in the middle. Zast chops off some of S2's tentacles, and Miu tries to get in another hit, but can't find an opening. Darani offers Soför a high five, then shies back. ***"I'm not touching you now.***
Both Aces stand in front of the slowly advancing slug S3. (yes, this once you can have the minor affect for your illusion, but usually it doesn't work like that as Identify is totally different from illusions)
Soniku's foot sinks into a pool of bubbling muck as she tries to duck. To Ara:
You feel Soniku's foot slip into something as you try to duck, and moments later, tremendous pounding wracks you and Soniku. Above you, below you, to your right...you feel impacts everywhere...the walls around you begin to dent...the monitors fizzle... You feel Soniku's leg squish out of the pool, and feel a [i]thump! as she falls on her back.[/i]
Soniku falls to the ground as tentacles pound away at her hull, although so far the armor is holding. (Soniku is taking damage, but like I said on the Mecha Rules thread you'll have to guess how much)
The Slugs: Slug S1's head falls off, and slowly but surely the slug falls on Darani. ***"I'm okay, I'm okay, shoulda been more careful, don't tell Zast..."*** Darani's Zorahi tries to push the giant slug off and is unharmed.
Slug S2 fights Miu, Zast, and Herdin with it's mouth tentacles, but also rains it's tentacles down on fallen Soniku. Suddenly, it looks dazed, as if it had been hit by something, although it continues attacking.
Slug S3 stops and stares at the two Aces. Only Osiris notices it burps out a red chunk of something, and out of that chunk a small polyp appears and shoots off like a dart into the middle slug S2's neck. Then it waits impassively for the Aces to act.
Gion rushes towards Soniku, and anxious to save his friend, Spax cuts the attacking tentacles away from the battered Soniku.
(Skydut, I didn't let you block the attack because you were after the slugs in initiative, however I did let you rescue Soniku from the battering thanks to your good roll. Also remember that if you are blocking, it's a Might defense check, as you aren't dodging the attack.)
To everyone: I'm going easy on everyone now with their rolls and what you use them for, but that won't last long. Now, time for actions again everyone.
