Ah. Yeah, I just assumed due to range it wouldn't be a raise but I should have put that in anyway in case. Not that the poor target needs any more humiliation...

raise damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Bart who? Bart doesn't cards above a 5... blasphemy!
Bart considers getting his tea set out but sees a sudden opportunity!

He takes a shot at one of the idiots trying to surround Barbara.
shooting: 1d10 ⇒ 9
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 1

damage-AP4: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 6, 6) = 19
xplodes suck for that guy: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) = 10

Well stated Barb and I actually agree. In Rifts it's very hard to take one down.

You do what's best for you, not for us. Bart won't be unhappy to have you 'in the trenches' together. We can swap grenades more often!

Burguk: I think option 2 is a smart one. makes sense and gives more of the superiority it's supposed to have!

Bart also pats his blade, the best weapon he has to fight heavy armor. Only a crazy fool would do so but...

For now he takes another shot at whatever target he can see, probably the coalition squad.

shooting: 1d10 ⇒ 4
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2

damage, AP4: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 4) = 13

On Comms: "Barb, two borgs or power armors headed your way. If you need help, run to us."

Bart flips the rifle back to standard energy shot and takes a shot at the fast figure. Then he looks to see who the newcomers are, especially the big one...

shooting: 1d10 ⇒ 6
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 3

damage AP4: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 2) = 13

Bart tries to find a good spot with a little cover that he can hide in and does so, changing the setting on his Juicer rifle to hunting/sniper mode.

stealth: 1d6 ⇒ 3
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2

He thinks he's well hidden..

As the group enters, Bart is scanning the area looking for heavy weapons of any kind, and of course, the psi stalker.

notice, in case needed: 1d6 ⇒ 4
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"If we see any big guns, they go down first."

Bart smiles and laughs. "Good times, Barbara, good times indeed. Now, shall we get this party started?"

Well, meaning no offense m'lady but the Glitter Girl does pack a slightly more powerful punch or kick than you."

Bart smiles, "How about we stir up the hornet's nest,exit the shield post haste and when they come out, have a Boom Gun reception awaiting? We set up some defensive positions to support and mop up anyone left."

Bart pats his sword.
"Not sure if everyone has a silent option so... try to get in, take out one group of five and go from there?"

"Eh. Sounds like we have our plan then. Gummitch, if that stalker sees you, haul ass out of there. I'll have the special of the day, Grenade a la Barbara ready for them. Backed up by a boom gun, of course."

Sounds good to move us along. :) Bart can be at his planned exit point to help out, a large pile of snow ready to toss onto a small critter. :)

"Agreed, Burguk. We need more intel. Getting us in and out isn't too much trouble. While Gummitch is the best option, I think I should go in with him, find a good hide just past the shield and be there in case he needs help. We haven't seen any heavy armor so having a Glitter Girl is, as always, a good thing."
He glances back at Barbara and smiles.

Bart smiles, packs two more snowballs. He throws one at Terry, aiming for center mass with very little 'oomf' behind it.
"Watch carefully..."
Then he makes a lazy under handed toss of the other one into the shield.

"Think we can cover a mecha with enough snow?"

Bart sits back, thinking of ways to get enough snow or ice on the Glitter Girl to get her through the shield...

Hate to see you go but fully understand!

What are our options so far?
A recon mission
A full on invasion but possibly the truck and the essential Glitter Girl?
Something else?

"Huh. Well, that solves the water problem..."

While listening to the conversation Bart is still thinking about the shield and water. His big brain comes up with another possibly amazing thought so he acts on it.

He picks up a chunk of snow, mostly frozen water, and chucks it at the shield...

common know: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
wild: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

"Well. Starting to look like i'm on scouting duty then. How's my camo looking?"

"Well, shall we commence Operation Small Helpless Little Animal Scouting? I'll stay hidden here and keep a bucket or two of water above freezing for the return splash."

Does the shield block vision? I do not remember... people on the outside could also be ready to water it up to get people back in...

"With your shape changing you are the best scout for this but... maybe I should cross over with you in case you need backup. We'll need to bring buckets of water over or something to get back through..."

Bart smiles at Barb, "A might cold for a swim today though."

"No worries, Terry. I can go in. I hear someone can turn invisible as well. Just a quick look to check things out."

"Good point. We can send some in to do a little recon. A wet body or two should be easy to slip in undetected. Now, let's go find a good spot..."

"We can get your Glitter Girl through as well if you want to join the party!"

Bart says "Hmm..." and walks out.

He walks back in a few minutes later."Yep. We got one. So hear me out. Water stops it. The river seems pretty open. When we try to pull this beast out, good chance someone's going to see us. I'm sure there are better places to enter. We have water plentiful and... a good sized hose to wash this beast. Think we could spray enough to get her through? Any of the magic folks, can you control water to form a shield?"

Bart listens intently as well. When Gummitch speaks up, "Hmm.. a good idea but I do fear for your safety still. Perhaps a quick recon. If you can find a spot we can pull the truck out of the water and hide something this size and the Glitter girl. Now, IS this truck designed to go underwater? Anywhere we need to plug a possible leak?"

"Check the depth too. See if we can get the truck or the glitter girl under there..."

After taking a quick look around Bart returns to find Barbara scanning darkly.

He jumps in to help.

I see what you did there, Philip K.

:)

"Huh. Now, how do we use this..."

After taking a quick look around Bart returns to find Barbara scanning darkly.

He jumps in to help.

Bart looks around to see if there is a small vehicle he could, er, liberate as a test subject.

"Or is there some dingus on the craft that opens it automatically. Well. Hard to experiment on. If it's automatic we can steal a vehicle and try it. I'd suggest a basic ground vehicle and bail out just in case. If it's radio, we'd need to know some password. Plenty to consider..."

"Hey Burgurk. Got any magic type sensing you can do on that thing?"

Thanks for the update Bart. Have fun!

Thank you. I shall try my best! :)

FYI: I'll be at a face to face gaming con this weekend. Will have internet so should still be checking in between games.

Bart returns, his short hair standing on edge.
"Bad juju over here. It's definitely magic."

He then relates all he learned.

Bart smiles, "Well, being able to see in the dark would absolutely help. Thank you!"

"Ah, I assumed it was magic based. Hmm... The power needed for something that big..."

He ponders his knowledge and experience to see if anything resembling a coherent thought comes up...

electronics: 1d6 ⇒ 2
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Hmmm... can anyone tell what might happen if a living being stepped through it?

"Very odd but... didn't we hear about some group in the coalition studying and using magic? Well. Let me get some snowy whites on and i'll see if I can get a better look..."

Bart pulls on some appropriate camo, unless things have changed drastically on the trip, the old white is a good choice. Then he carefully and slowly makes his way towards the vehicle and building.

notice: 1d6 ⇒ 2
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 3
To keep an active eye out for guards, patrols or similar.

stealth: 1d6 ⇒ 5
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6
wild xplode: 1d6 ⇒ 4

While Bart apparently needs an eye exam, the old stealth skills still work..

notice: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
wild: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Bart listens to the stories, keeping his thoughts to himself for now.
Tiller's words may have been a joke but he's checking for bugs, trackers and the like just to be sure...

Good plan, we'll call him and start towards the target location, set up a place on the way for him to meet us. We'll be sure to remind him to bring security as we don't trust these goons.

I also forgot that! One of the foibles of this game format. :)

Bart looks around, a slight look of bewilderment on his face and then starts laughing. "We all need a vacation. We sent all the good poeple back with Captain Tiller. Now, what to do with these.."

Sensing what's on Barb's mind after their intense grenade bonding, Bart looks back to the masses of blue people.
"yeah, we need to check this out but we also can't put these people in any more danger..."
