(jumping to D0502[turn 1], run to D0603[turn 2])

Jumping over the next sandpit, Ryan landed his 'Mech behind a boulder. Quickly checking his heat level, he pushed his 'Mech into a run, skirting around part of the mountain before starting to climb it. "Com'on beta lance. I'm sure you don't want to miss out on all the fun. Hurry up Adam!"

OOC: Running to A417 (turn 1). Running to D404(turn 2).

IC: Still running through the dunes, Adam started to see mountains up ahead. The Lance could go over or around those and then hit the Marik troops from far off. It was simple, and could take some time to get into position, but it would work.

"Just keep going until you can get a good shot, and then take it," he told the lance.

OOC: Grrr... so close to getting a shot off on that Grasshopper...

((Face 0903, Run to 1003, Face 1004, run to 1005, LOS is clear to target Marik Grasshopper at hex D1109. Range is 4 hexes))

The Warhammer rounded the mountaintop, and Kyle now had a pretty clear view of the Marik forces bearing down on them. Arming his PPCs, and cycling his SRM6 to his secondary TIC, Kyle dropped his crosshairs on an incoming Grasshopper. As the crosshairs pulsed gold, he pulled the triggers.

The PPCs vaporized armor on the Grasshopper's Left torso in a cascade of azure sparks, while the SRMs peppered the center and right torso with small explosions.

Grinning as he saw the hits, he prepared to bring his mech backwards and lure the Marik forces into their lethal trap.

((Range is short for the ER PPCs, and medium for the SRM6. To-hit for the PPCs is 6 (3 +2 for running +1 for target movement of 3 hexes.) Base to hit for the SRM6 is 8 (same except +2 for medium range)

((ER PPC1 - 10 (hit) 8 (Left Torso) 10 damage
ER PPC2 - 9 (hit) 8 (Left Torso) 10 damage
SRM 6 - 8 (hit) 6 missiles lock (11) 2 missiles hit Center Torso (7) for 4 damage, 2 missiles hit Center torso (7) for 4 damage, 2 missiles hit Right torso (6) for 4 damage))

((38 heat - 36 heat dissipation = 2 heat))

((1001-D ran to 1103-D, facing 1104))

Raviel maneuvered his mech up the hill, quickly catching sight of a Marik Grasshopper-and it had its back turned against him.

Blow it up now, or wait for it to come to you...hard decision.

No. The Warhammer was already engaging the Grasshopper; it would be best to save his ammo in case any forces came in to reinforce the heavy mech.

((Since The Grasshopper had moved away from the Warhammer's firing position, wouldn't all those hits be critical hits, since the backside has no armor?))

Edit: Ecurt is Stupid.

OOC: It had last moved from 1112 to 1109, that's forward, towards the Warhammer. So I hit all forward armor.

OOC Nathano you're running through unstable terrain pilot check, if you fail you fall two levels

OOC: From D0903, go to D0903, continuing on to D0903, then turning to D0903, ending at D0903, facing D1003.

BIC: Sigil watche dthe flashes in the distance.

Kyle's having fun, he thought.

A strange thought came to mind. Something made him take out the picture from his wallet. The mechwarrior looked over the picture of himself and Alison and a faint smile creased his face.

Then he slipped it back, and continued his silent vigil.

OOC: if you're talking about the gravel like area on the map, I ran around it and began to climb after it ends.

ooc: Dante you didn't move.
guess it's time for enemy positions

Sitting back in a comfortable recliner in his two-bedroom apartment, a lean young man with a freckled face, spectacles, and unkempt brown hair was watching the fight intently on his television. His bet of 500 C-Bills on the newcomer team was fairly safe, he thought, considering that he had met one of the pilots on a previous occasion, and has a high estimation of her abilities. From what he could see, things seemed to be going well for his side.

Seeing that his money was safe, Charles Baxter smiled, hummed, and logged on to his Foreverquest account. There was a new dungeon full of Neorcs just waiting to be pwned.
