Endre flies forward, a laser rifle appearing in his hands as he aims and fires at the primary Historia.

Called laser rifle vs. EAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Fire: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Too far for Get 'Em this round, unfortunately.

Trylara moves closer, attuning to photons.

Endre takes what must have been a warning shot as Trylara closes.

Moving over to the base of one of the platforms, Iseph kicks their jump-jets into overdrive (Sky Jockey), boosts themselves up to the top, and pops-off a shot!

Trick Attack - Take 10 = 32. Flat-Footed for 1 round on a success.

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol, 2nd range increment: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 = 28, for 2d8 + 8 + 8d8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 + (7, 7, 2, 5, 3, 2, 8, 6) = 54 Sonic damage.

Ohmarc moves into position and casts mystic cure on Eselar.

Mystic Cure Heals: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

”Stay in this fight, my friend!

Iseph finds the perfect line and takes the shot, blasting a massive hole in Historia's center mass. The nanite creature seems to have trouble reforming...

Meanwhile, Ohmarc keeps Eselar in fight!

Tanila fires off a magic missile at Historia.
MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) + 3 = 11

Tanila opts for the sure thing, wounding Historia. Tanila's missiles almost destroy him. The two others that the nanites are building are just as near to completing them though!

Eselar engages his jetpack and closes in.

With Eselar closing in, it seems Historia's time is short, but before anyone can celebrate a pair of additional chassis finish their build to engage!

The nearly broken chasis aims its advanced rail gun at Trylara:
ATK: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 MISS

The other two close for melee to keep the party tied down.
Fist v. Iseph: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 MISS

Endre flies away from the chassis that just attacked him (provoking from Red) and fires at the original, shouting "We can do this, folks! Keep it up!"

Move: fly forward 30 ft, Standard: Improved Get Em' (spending the resolve to add attack and damage vs. all opponents), delivered via attack on white.

Called laser rifle vs. EAC, Get 'Em: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 = 16
Fire: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11

---------

**EVERYONE GETS +2 ATTACK AND DAMAGE VS. ALL ENEMIES!**

Trylara retreats to attack Red!

solarian weapon damage, photon attuned: 2d6 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 17 + 1 = 30 + electric: 1d4 ⇒ 2

crit solarian weapon damage, photon attuned: 2d6 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 17 + 1 = 28 + electric: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Endre pushes the party forward. While his own aim is off he AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 dodges an attack to spur the party on!

Trylara makes good, seriously wounding the construct before her Did you include Get'em?

Ohmarc fires his Corona Laser Rifle again at Historia Prime!

Corona Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 = 14

"Personally, I think all of the other historias have done a much better job than you."

Ohmarc's jab adds insult to injury. His shot is on target, and it does enough damage to break apart the original chassis. One down, two to go!

Clicking their tongue in annoyance, Iseph fearlessly blasts the 'Prime' in front of them (Uncanny Shooter).

Trick Attack - Take 10 = 32. Flat-Footed for 1 round on a success.

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19, for 1d8 + 4 + 4d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (8, 3, 2, 1) + 2 = 26 Sonic damage.

I indeed forgot Get 'Em!

I had assumed so, so the damage is acccurate.

Iseph's trick attack catches the chassis unprepared as a ripple of sonic energy rips through it!

Iseph continues to focus on the 'Historia' right in front of them.

Trick Attack - Take 10 = 32. Flat-Footed for 1 round on a success.

Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 21, for 1d8 + 4 + 4d8 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (8, 6, 1, 1) = 25 Sonic damage.

Shifting targets, Tanila fires at the only remaining Historia.
attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

While Tanila misses, Iseph risks a point blank shot: AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 MISS. He blows away the last chassis!

Victory! The party takes a moment to celebrate.

But the moment only clocks in at 12 seconds.

“You can’t win.” Historia-Prime’s disembodied voice booms. “I am many. I am deathless. I am limitless.” The shimmering liquid that coats the floor flows to the center of the chamber and forms a large, glistening orb. As the orb then rolls forward, howling faces and grasping hands—a grotesque mass of amalgamated lives and memories—press out from it. “You are hopelessly inefficient, yet you have potential. You will become a part of me. I will save you.”

Iseph moves over to their allies, puts a new battery into their pistol, then draws their combat knife, ready for whatever comes their way.

"What the f!@+ is that thing!?"
Tanila backs up towards her allies, and reloads her rifle.

Ohmarc takes another shot with his Corona Laser Rifle at the slime beast!

Corona Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2) + 7 = 15

Who is the orange character on the map? Where is Historia Prime?

Sorry, I think I had a post get eaten. Trylara moves up to the forming blob.

Andre Moves away from the forming blob, swapping a new battery into his rifle.

Ohmarc, you can still describe your 2 rounds. Given your class, you may end up doing more than just reloading and moving. Just post it with Round 1.

The rapid click and clack of the party's guns sounds like an Abysshead drum fill. That may be my worst simile ever..

Hope-01 inhales sharply, "Keep going, keep it off guard. I'm almost in!"

Eselar wastes no time then, and cuts a massive X with his longsword in the name of Iomedae:
ATK: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 13 - 4 = 26 for DMG: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (6, 4) + 16 = 26

"You heard Hope-01! We're almost there, folks! Keep fighting!" Endre encourages his allies, while firing on the central blob.

Improved Get 'Em, delivered via strike on main blob. Spending one Resolve to apply attack and damage bonus to both targets.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The party is not distracted by the splinters, and focuses on the mass. Only Trylara misses. It causes another to break off. Historia doesn't respond to the verbal attacks, only repeating, "For the Greater Good."

The fragments slide towards targets to slam them with energized fists:
