2 XP for Osiris for accepting my GM intrusion when he was blown backwards by the slug, I should have said it was a GM intrusion so you could accept or refuse it. I made you accept, so take 2 XPs, but remember to give one XP to someone else.
1 XP to Spax for his ingenious siege engine and his vivid descriptions.
Hei flips forward and the crawlers fly off, splatting on the ground.
Osiris creates another Ace illusion in front of him as the tentacles shoot at him, and sidesteps out from behind illusion Ace at the last moment. The tentacles celestially fly shoot through illusion Ace as Osiris dodges. The flesh slug seems to realize that it hit an illusion, and retracts it's tentacles. (You can still use illusion Ace, but you'll have to figure out how to get the slug confused again.)
A cable flies through the air and attaches to the Zast's unit, and following it Spax flies out of Gion and lands with a thud on the Defenser. The two crawlers, distracted by your appearance, drop Zast onto the metal, and hungrily crawl towards you, muscular veiny arms outstretched. One pulls two arms back, and swings to fists towards you. Another dozen climb up the Defenser and will reach you and Zast in seconds.
Speed Defense roll to avoid punch
The Runners: The mud like pool that Herdin is submerging in suddenly bubbles uncontrollably, and with a burble Herdin is pulled under. Miu is safe with her sister in Soniku. Darani pounds towards Ace and slug S3, and as she runs she throws a dagger that bounces off what's left of it's shell. Rozlt drops and manages to duck a flight of tentacles, and then swings two daggers toward the flesh slug S2's head. It burps out a large chunk of fleshy matter which catches onto Rozlt's Defenser's head, blocking his monitors off inside the cortex, causing him to miss drastically and land in front of the slug.
The Flesh Beasts: S3, recoils it's tentacles and carefully tracks both Aces, for now knowing which one is real. Osiris, give me an intellect roll to trick the flesh slug again if you'd like, and describe what you do to confuse it. S2 spits out fleshy matter onto Rozlt's cameras, disabling his sight. The crawlers rip the hatch off of a Defenser belonging to a runner you did not know, and reaching inside, she is ripped out with a scream. With several cracks they quickly break her bones, and then one of them extends it's neck and chomps off her head.
The crawlers on Zast's defenser, distracted by Spax's arrival, drop Zast, and swarm towards the lone man.
Ara stomps toward flesh slug S2 with a gleaming sword , hoping to reach Rozlt in time. Miu says something, but her voice is lost within the squealing of the damaged Soniku as it runs at full speed. Seeing that Rozlt is not a threat, the slug launches tentacles at you, and burps out more fleshy matter onto Rozlt's defenser below it.
Speed defense for Ara.
