Somewhere amid the clamor of battle, some say they could hear the Sargeant letting out a massive groan, echoing throughout all the valleys of Kolstec. This echo came to never cease even till modern times.

This phenomenae became known to Ragnyllian folklore as "The Hodr'ing"

He jumps nimbly into a cave his thorough investigation complete, while his subordinates and any capable law enforcement all collectively facepalm.

>>16172942
Ugh, forget it, Magus, we've had to change plans. The bridge will stay down, but you are DONE. You are relieved of your position and under arrest for gross insubordination. MPs are being sent to take you into custody.

>Pulling my rank as Captain to remove Magus from the roster.

>>16173050

"Negative Captain, this actually provides us with an opportunity here."

"[C2], [Hr1], I advise you to move to the nearest flag and pick up an [E] kit to repair the bridge."

"[M1], on the safe side of the ravine, I'll need you to lace the bridge with explosives. Make sure they are on a secure radio frequency."

"Captain Gunther, Isane, and [S3] should be able to cover you."

"If you move quickly, you'll have a new and improved bridge up before the advance team has any need to retreat."

"I suggest you get to work ASAP soldiers."

>>16173081
There are orders for us sir?

>>16173050
>>16173081
Alright, Magus, because my subordinates are much more lenient than I am, you can stay. But you follow orders specifically given to you and you don't pull shit like that without me or the Major's position. You got that? Is that crystal clear?

"Not for you, [V2], only those specifically mentioned in those orders."

"You, however, are in a prime position for a flanking maneuver. I would like to remind you that it is possible for [V]'s such as yourself to commandeer enemy armor, however, I would suggest that you consider your options fully, as capturing an enemy tank would likely leave you in a highly vulnerable position."

"Thank the Goddess for the voice from above," mumbles Paisley, still somewhat shaken from seeing the bridge suddenly give way. "Copy that Advisor Knightley--soon as it's our phase I'll start planting the charges." He flicked off the headset before looking to the redheaded, glasses-wearing girl opposite him in his unit. "Toldja there was a reason I had us deploy on this side'a the bridge! Fate's smilin' down on me today!"

That shot deserves like, bonus points or some shit.
Double exp. Go Finch.

Also hooray repeated tank killing!

"[Hn1], suggest you focus your fire on the forces moving into the Eastern approach. Prioritize tanks and aerial units."

"[S3], suggesting you maintain anti-armor coverage. Coordinate with [Hn1] to ensure you are not assaulting the same targets. If possible, fire on air units so their wreckage will further restrict the enemy advance."

"Frontal forces, be advised: the Western barrier has been compromised. I suggest the [V] in the caves, led by Major Mana, mount a flanking assault. If at least one tank is captured, it can be used to plug the gap back up."

"[S2], suggest you engage enemy snipers or coordinate with the Eastern flanking forces to cover their flanks."

"[M1], suggest you either switch class to repair the bridge, or lay down some smoke screens across the ravine to cover our advance forces. No point in you sitting there looking pretty."

Vrak: Major Mana, Private Vrak reporting for duty, tell me where i should go!
Reigh: We are going to kill' stuff right?! Right?!
Ferdyn: Don't mind him, he is nuts.

>>16174182
I don't have planed to die. but heck, if you don't risk, you can't win, we can wait for it to approximate to the entrance and then jump on it. or just run like a berserk to it

>>16174225

I sent you a firing solution request here: >>16174140

If you can soften up those tanks before they hit our lines, It'll be greatly appreciated.

>>16174225
Take care of those ghoul
>>16174232
I was kind of throwing the idea around, please don't die on my account...

I'll send most of my shots onto that commander tank, and leave the AA one for Vrak or Mana to hijack when it passes by this turn. The rest of my shots will either be direct shots on any air vehicles within 9 or so hexes to me, or arty the right side canyon.

>>16174263
Vrak: There is a sayin' "Of something you must die" or some crap like that. The case is that i'm going to have that fucking tank OR die doing it.

>>16174693
If Willhelm had a soul to haunt with, he would be haunting you so hard right now, yelling at you to adapt to the situation at hand because you wield the powers of the goddamn elements to change the battlefield. Fix the bridge.

>>16174644

Dammit, I meant East! NE!!

>>16174716
HE TOLD ME NOT TO.

(I suppose I'll be deploying four hours late, if I can still deploy at all. I assume I drop in during the next action phase on the flag?)

>>16174751
Are you four? Do you need to be told every little thing? Casters work differently, Casters have uses other than shooting things. By breaking the bridge, which was NOT an order. you doomed quite a few people and cut off reinforcements to the front line. By not FIXING it, you keep our reserves from helping the now crumbling front line.

Casters take initiative. that's what they do, if you can't handle that, pick another class that doesn't have an important job.

>>16174761
Make sure you indicate which flag. Right now the one on the southern side of the unfortunately absent bridge would be your best bet, so you don't spawn into gunfire or anything.

>>16174751

Magus, if your little snafu turns this into another Five Fingers, I swear to Space Jesus that I'm gonna have your head!

>>16174761

Skurge, once you deploy, GET SOME FIRE ON THAT BLIMP...THING HEADING TOWARD THE CITY. I cannot stress that enough. We wanna take that thing down before it can show us what it can do.

>>16174775
>>16174786
Let's see, do what I want based on what a superior had said (which lead to me withdrawing bridge), or listen to a bunch of bitchy privates while disobeying the order of a CO that is already pissed at me (found here >>16173265 ).
.

I think I'll take my chances with not getting shot for insubordination thanks.

>>16174783
>>16174805
Skurge pressed the comms-bead close against his ear, struggling to make out the words uttered by the voices on the other end. Even from his distant position the chaotic din of battle shook the windowpanes of houses, the staccato bursts of automatic weapons firing never letting up. The voices came in between horrendous bursts of static, and for the hundredth time Skurge cursed his fortune for being so late. Behind him, Private Wednesday lugged his pack, struggling to keep up the pace; both had been severely waylaid after attempting to secure other portions of the city walls in the event of an attack from the rear. Skurge shouted into his radio, whether those on the other end could hear him or not. "This is Skurge, we're en route, and will hopefully be deploying at Rally Flag 2 shortly, over!" And with that, the Heavy Weapons team increased their pace as much as they could, dying to get stuck in with the remaining defenders.

>>16174831
Magus, this entire problem has stemmed from you making an incorrect interpretation from small talk that WASN'T EVEN AN ORDER. I personally don't even think you should still be here, but calmer voices have convinced me to give you chance. Unfortunately, since you've essentially RUINED a pre-established plan on turn one due to your poor comprehension of the situation, I honestly can't trust you with anything anymore.

Now get that bridge back next turn, and don't fuck it up.

Everybody, stop fightin' we got shit to kill

The insides of the cave shuddered, dust and dirt falling from the ceiling with every shake. The makeshift lighting system flickered, the dim lights swaying on their cable supports. "The hell's going on up there?!" Paisley mumbles.

>move 4 NW through the tunnels

>>16175255

The Strider squad's gatlings glow an angry red in the night, tracers drawing a line from their barrels to the airship as high caliber rounds impact it's hull.

Springer: "BRING IT DOWN!"
Sanders: "OH THE COLORS! THE SOUNDS! AHAHAHAHA!"
Sellers: "I-I think it's dead now..."
Springer: "KEEP. SHOOTING."

>>16175314
What gun ships? those which are being blow'd up by our forces?

>>16175344

Crap, that's right, enemy phase. Ah, well--consider that my moves for next turn.

>>16175361
I count two basically untouched gunships E of you. right on the middle ridge above you.

>>16175362
Action phase I'm planting a flag, you and Soapworth reform your squads.
Afterwards we spring onto the eastern flank, barring any new surprises.

>>16175361

Vrak! There's two gunships to the right of your position! Drop 'em!

>>16175375
Give me some thime to get this crap workin' and the will be just another smokin' piece of thrash.

Depending on the state of the enemy airship when our turn comes, I can fire a bunch of double ranged direct shots right into the thing, leaving the rest of us to deal with other things. I might not even need all 15 shots, and I could leave some to be normal indirect arc shots.

>>16175417
So you need me to take care of them or i can start killin' foot soldiers?

>>16175439
Go for the gunships. They pump the most Dakka, and the Major can slaughter ghouls in her sleep.

We pausing soon? People are startin' to drop, and we seem to have quite a long bout left.

>>16175489
Who drop'd?(a list of people)

>>16175489
I agree. We got at the bare minimum two phases left, and that could be another 2-3 hours.

>>16175255
"Pfft ghoul are simply corpse that need a little bit of help to remember they are dead."

>>16175522
Springer just now, and Hewitt earlier. Might be losing some more soon.

>>16175546
That is our work, isn't it?

I found out that I don't need sleep as long as I have that playing

Great game so far everyone, despite a few setbacks we still did good.
Goodnight for those also going to sleep.

>>16175775
Where are all the arrays?

(Unfamiliar with terms of deployment, and I don't know if we've all decided to pause for the night yet or not, so I'm gonna act just in case.)
>Deploy on Flag to the left of [Giant Tank].
>Run 6 hexes East down the stairs, headed towards the Heavy Mortar battery.

(I think that's possible, still no clue. Also not sure if I need to roll for anything.)

>>16175775
Urgh, i died in vain!

>>16175775

So...we're going up against the Voss equivalent of Baneblades for the next part of this battle...

Looks like fun. But for now, sleep.

>>16175822
I'm in mele against a baneblade?
I need a soldier and a big pole!

>>16175775
Command, will tossing grenades at that overwatching unit behind me trigger overwatch and paste me?

Alternatively, I reloaded last turn presumably, because you didn't process my flag based actions. would Sturm overwatch vs their movement give me attack precedent?

>>16175812
Not in vain... I'm going to steal that mono.

>>16175796
shit, they keep erasing I swear I placed them on the environment layer...

>>16175812


You're in a tank, and under some zombies bro

>>16175900
And a huge tank is going to make me look like a cardstamp

Should prolly pack up that flag so the enemy doesnt end up getting officers wit'em

Oh, Psh, just realized I'm not even in overwatch vision of those troopers yet. I can just make a run and running jump across the river.

Back later for more shenanigans.

(looks like Finch was put to good use at least, good calls Gunther)

>>16175850

Regardless of whether or not it will trigger their overwatch, I advise you consider the fact that you are in a small cave and that detonations in such close quarters might not be for the best.

Reporting and morning bump.

>Fuck you cold.

>>16175775

...Aw, crap. Soapworth, there's two ghoulies that are comin' in from that entrance you're overwatchin'. I'd use my grenade launcher, but (1) we're in a cave; (2) I don't wanna bring the entire tunnel system down on our heads; (3) the simple logic that explosives + close range + enclosed area = everyone turns into hamburger meat. Should I just relocate deeper into the cave system and have you and Hodr deal with the mess, or should I just take my chances and hope that the fuse wouldn't light at such a short distance?

>I'm aliiiiive! For now.

Major, Captain, just a quick take on our possible tactical asset employment this upcoming round.
I can spare the actions of my 2 southern units to radio in part of the strikes as to free up some of your actions (as you are in more time-critical locations)

>Ubergun can knock out the eastern mono
>Shaded zone for Clovis strafing as to hamper the ground advance.
>circled zones are alternate points of artillery barrage, we can focus down all guns onto one of the armor pieces. (to damage the western Mono, or to make sure Eastern is dead.)

Hello soldier, this is a map of what is going to happen on the phase

Red circle: cyclop firing solution
Black rectangle: Bombing run
Orange line: strafing run
Blue arrow: How I will attack the tank.
Green circle: get those aircraft down you useless dog.

>>16180172
It seem I'll alway forget my picture...

>>16178855
Listen Paisley.
I don't want a premature cave-in, I'm gonna pump lead into those 2 ghouls. I highly suggest you get ready to mop up the aftermath of our airstrikes/artillery/cyclops, or reinforce at the flag i'll be laying down by the staircase.

Our cliffside two entrances North are still uncompromised, one hidden, one 2 levels up in elevation, the southern entrance is what we need to worry about. BUT with all the rain that's about to come pouring down, our job is mop up the remaining Voss.

>>16180379

Right, then. I'll move on ahead toward the staircase next phase, you hose those bastards.

Might not be able to participate on phase two. (also, sorry for dropping out mid-fight.)
Could someone bot me?

SRPINGA, CUT DOWN THE NORTHERN AIR-UNITS, I'LL GET THIS ONE !

>>16180877

Hr1 , you died while botted so this technically doesnt kill you, just puts you in retreat.

rolled 4 = 4

>>16180745
Paisley See if you can't mine one of the cave openings, seems like next phase we are going to get swarmed.

Is this jump possible IC?

Hey Knightly, mind airdropping supplies on Kess's position? That flag is low on juice due to being cut off from the road.

Roll Call everyone.
Please report only those present.
New ones are fine too.

Operations will begin at 1800

>>16181238
Right here.

Ready, let's send those Voss packing for good.

>On another note, I may not be here for the second action phase, so someone might have to bot me then.

I LIVE.

Change of plans with my flag plant.
Since the bridge is cut off, planting a new flag will have no effect for reinforcement, since you are close you can try to restock at the flag by Kess.

Soap, feel free to fall back and restock as well, or move down the cave and help hold out.

I'l proceed north to the staircase and go topside.

Here, command.

Sarge is always alright, but if you're feeling like a true Ragnyllian, keep on fighting and keep your brothers and sisters alive.

Kess is asking for a smokescreen to throw off that Mono's aim. If you can, SMOKE GRENADES right out the cave entrance 2-3 hexes out.

Where you go from there is your call, mate.

If this is goiin to start again soon, I'm here.

>>16181598
Right, Finch. Your ammo was expended last phase so you'll have to reload before you shoot. Continue trying to snipe any remaining gunships and armor.

Oh sorry, there's one teensy little other problem. My squaddies are fresh outta basic and I've never really used the engy kits before. A little bit of a walkthrough might help.

>>16181609
DAmn I knew I was forgetting a pilot

Gene you'll be P4

I'm here!

>>16181607

Which entrance, Sarge? The one where those two ghouls popped in from, or the southern one? 'Cos if it's the former, I think I can pop some smoke over their heads to the outside.

>>16181637
Guy, i'm going 2 sleep here is 23:54 and i just did pass out right in front of the PC(Last night i didn't sleep)

>>16181629
Use an action. build shit. I thought you engies knew this stuff. Sentry guns are auto firing guns, jump pads enable jumping, barricades are barricades, and stretchers help wounded.

There's also talk of a "Fortress Kit" which does different stuff.

>>16181624

". _ ."

>>16181629

THINGS YOU CAN BUILD!

Springs: will launch things 5 hexs in a given direction. Personnel transport and anti personnel mine! Will only launch things 1 hex or smaller.

Barricade: 2 durability wall. That's about it

TURRETS!
2 kinds
Auto-turret drop and forget about it, it'll do the killing for you.
Rocket turret: auto hitting rockets need to be fired manually.
You can only carry one turret type at a time.

Some people will tell you you can also build stretchers. So you can heal people that get shot/die.

I personally find stretchers a waste of a good turret.

Also you can't really do anything about the bridge. Unless you want to try making one out of barricades.

>>16181561

Kess, I've got you covered! Maybe! Not quite sure yet, but it's a definite maybe to be sure!

>>16181644
The one with the ghouls in it.
My slugs will decimate the ghouls. (Or just toss them out).
Fire right out, smoke it up, and 'ead back south.

>>16181686
I'll attempt to reestablish the bridge this phase.

>>16181671
You got two actions, so you can reload and shoot in one phase.

THOSE WHO DO NOT REPORT IN WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE FIELD. THOSE WHO DECLARE RELIEF WILL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE FIELD.

Reporting in!

>>16181805
You'll have to redeploy due to making space for the stork. Also someone will have to plant a flag either Isane or Magus

>>16181833
Isane already has a flag planted next to her.

>>16181833
I already got a flag planted on the repair building, and if you want me to plant another somewhere, that would require me packing up, planting the flag, then setting up again, a waste of valuable actions I could use to just blow the Voss sky high.

By my count we already have 5 flags on the field anyway. 3 along the main road in town, 1 on the repair shop, and one at the A spawn near Kess.

>>16181833
I could possibly place a flag, but it'll be a choice between the flag and the bridge this turn.

>>16181880
make the bridge

>>16181860
The fact is that I provided IC with the final roster at 6:00 anyways it's up to IC now.

Vahn stands silently against the wall of the cave, the thunderous roar of battle outside almost drowning out the click-clack of the skeletons walking towards him. He hefts his Sturm into melee position and waits.

"HAHAHA, HIT THEM AGAIN, CUT THEM TO RIBBONS, BLOW THEM TO PIECES, LET THEIR RESPECTIVE GODS SORT 'EM OUT!"

Isane screams as she fires mortar after mortar, her voice most likely heard all the way at the front lines.

Paisley half-runs, half-stumbles out through the cave entrance, turning his head right in time to see the white arcs of mortar fire streak across the sky, down into the Voss lines. The massive form of the Voss superheavy tank became engulfed in light and noise and dust as the big cannon round hit dead-on.

He can't help but grin as the spectacle plays out.

So I'm gonna have to be botted for this next phase.

Oh Goddess. We didn't just offer up sweet-smelling sacrifice to this realm's version of Khorne, did we? And he's "blessing" us for our acts of bloodshed?

"I want our airship to take the air now, we may need evacuation soon."

Looks like we might need another siege gun shot.

"Peregrin, respond! This is TA Knightly! Is there anything approaching the battlefield?"

"Soldiers on the ground, I don't know what's happening, but I suggest you either book it to the Kolstec side of the river, or get to high ground. Whatever is going on, it's probably going to be bad for anyone near that ibonyte."

"Casters! Can any of you figure out what is going on with that ibonyte river?"

The fient glow of the river swells up as the earth trembles.

"What's happening boss?"

"I don't know kiddo, when'the ground shakes over something sparkly like this, it ain'never something y'should be cited for. I just 'ope Dalian and Odette'r keeping their heads down.."

"We're not outta this fight yet, keep yar heads down!"

>>16183635
If someone dropped an array in the river I could find out.

Armitage halfheartedly laughs, looking at the rapidly changing river. "I knew the battle couldn't be over until something big and scary almost killed me" She clutches the flower in her pocket "Luck don't fail me now..."

Sellers: "W-wah-what's happening?!"
Sanders: "I have NO idea, but I need to find out where my dealer GOT this stuff!"
Springer: "Keep those gatlings hot... I have a feeling we're not out of the woods yet."

Advisor, WHAT IN THE GODDESS' NAME AM I LOOKING AT?!

All'ye damn hooligans, HOLD FIRE until we can verify whatev'r that thing is.

"Well. this is new."

Before anyone gets a bright idea, observe the size of the array it is standing on and the fact it is next to a river of ibonyte.

>>16183930

"Your guess is as good as mine, soldier."

"But if I'd had to guess... something along the lines of a 'non-human' entity."

"Major Mana, I suggest you approach... carefully. I do not believe we are in any condition to fight another large-scale battle."

>>16183879
Mana heads toward the summoned humanoid, discarding her rocket scythe for Sol.

"That would be me, my name is mana and I command this unit. State your intentions."

"Ooh, nice light show. But that guy looks like a big trouble-maker."

Isane swivels her mortars to the new threat, ready to launch a flurry of rounds at it, then stops as a cacophony of voices come in over the radio to hold fire.

"I've got a bad feeling about this..."

>Attempt to investigate the strange being

Sanders: "Oooooh... preeettyyyyy..."
Springer: "Well at least she won't open fire like this..."

Paisley's grip tightens on the grenade launcher as he lowers the weapon from his shoulder. He wasn't exactly a praying man, but he decided now would be as good a time as ever, letting his left hand reach into his pocket and thumb the well-worn beads as he mumbled a tried and true prayer.

"Let me guess, it wants to make a deal of some sort. That and its look would make it seem infernal."

Hodr watches from cover as the Major approaches the 'thing' now standing before all the Ghasts.

"that ain'no sparkly type I ever seen, s'more like some kind of ominous-type with sparkly bits, or some sparkly-ominatious-unidentifiable type..."

"Ahhh hell, Major better be careful..."

His weapon was good to go, and so were his girls. A glint across the river sheened, a signal from the other two.

"Re-mem-ber-to-pluck-t-he-turn-i---- Oh, wait, we're ready to go? Good girls!"

Whatever that thing is, it appears to be drawing ibonyte straight from the ravine to power the circle. Also, did anyone happen to notice that the cemetery grass during the battle was kinda dead and yellowish, but now its back to being green?

>>16184122
That was just different lighting.

>>16183979

" My name is General Asmodeus of the 13th Legion. Currently one of the three heads of Terror for the Human Voss armies. Are you the person whom I should thank for making this lovely blood gulch a possibility ? "

>>16184122

"That could very well be the lighting, Paisley. But noted."

>>16184145

Blink: "Welp. Squaddies, we seem to have picked the wrong day to deploy for the first time."
Clyde: "Well, maybe he's just here to talk?"

>>16184145
The major shrugs.

"So a demon general, I suppose I should be surprised. As for your question, yes you do. Even though I want to file a complain about wasting so much ibonyte."

rolled 8 = 8

>if others begins shooting, use all arrays to disrupt the array/circle the voss general stands on

>>16184223

Hold it, Magus. I'm think the Major's makin' parley with this guy.

"All artillery, zero in on Asmodeus' position. Do not fire until either I, Gunther, or Mana gives the word."

"Everyone else, get away from him. Major, I'll leave diplomacy to you, however should things go bad..."

>>16184236

>cool your jets, it's just preperation

>>16184242

Kess, you're in the killbox. You should move into that cave over to the east of you. I'm gonna be moving into the caves myself.

I - I - I - I - I _ - i __ i ii _ I - Can't
M - my mother , I I can see her right there ! "

>>16184318

Kess? Kess!! Dammit, man, get outta there! It's not real!

Advisor Knightley, Advisor Erwin, there's some sort of hallucinogenic effect being projected by that energy field around the new threat!

rolled 6 = 6

>>16184318

"Private Kess, move North to Springer's position. NOW soldier. Drag your men if you have to."

"MOVE IT SOLDIER!"

The Ibonyte ? Oh don't worry, that is just how they look, when properly enriched on a moon like this one. You see ? The Black blood in it's truest form carries the essence of warriors past. This river is the gateway from this mortal realm to their next.

We were hoping to have it, have it all, in fact. prime artery of the BlackBlood like this one swells even now after Gustav has unleashed the Wyrm on it.

And even now, we'll be needing more. Much more in the days to come. "

>>16184372
"So long as he does not begin acting against his own will or the effects do not persist, there should be no more brain damage than a night of heavy drinking and mild recreational drug use."

>>16184145

Atramente: "Clyde. We seem to have disappeared from the tactical display."
Clyde: "Oh. Well, let's take this moment to just take a quick step back. And stay back."

>>16184383
"I see, that's interesting. I' wish I could offer you something to drink while we discuss, sadly I don't have anything on me and I could not drink with you. Which would be rather unpolite. Also I'd like to compliment you on your choice of weapon."

"Soapworth, look! The ibonyte in the ravine--there's...bones in it!"

Paisley couldn't look straight at the red circle of power anymore--it made his head hurt and his heart palpitate. There was something scratching at his mind--a flash of raven-black hair, a giggle over soft music, a smile on soft red lips--

"Get outta my head," Paisley groaned, his left hand bringing the worn rosary to his lips to kiss the holy symbol. "You ain't gettin' into my head."

"S-sir? What do we do?" Paskal stammered as she looked on at the spectacle from Isara's top hatch.

"Nothing. Not until the Major says something or if she's in trouble." Gunther replied, biting his lip. The appearance of yet another General of Terror was not good, and he looked even meaner and nastier than Gustav. However, as Gustav proved, these so called Generals could be killed.

What unnerved him and his crew more though was how the Ibonyte river changed. It now resembled a river of blood, taking on a deep crimson hue, and he could've sworn he saw bones floating within the cursed waters as well. Was this really the stuff that was lying under their homeland this whole time?

>>16184480

" Your men slowly crumble around you and you offer me tea !? " HAhahaha If only we flipped the other side of the coin, we would be having more lovely conversations like this one. But alas, in favor of speed and blind motivation, it was the Voss Empire that fit as our prime candidate to throw up the banners of against the world. But, a valknyre is a valknyre, continue to fight, to kill, and to win ! Brother, against Brother. For every man killed is another drop for the river. Another drop of power to be supped by the king of kings. To fight the war of wars. For all time, everywhere and forever until nothing remains. "

" So are you going to pull the trigger on me now or do you have more burning questions for me ? "

>>16184638
"I see, well as you can see I don't have a gun, so I'd prefer a duel."

>>16184638
"It's a trick. he wants us to kill him to complete a ritual."

>>16184672

"I... I'm with Erwin on this one. From his own words, spilling his blood would likely fuel... whatever it is that's going on at the moment."

"Major, I suggest non-fatally neutralizing him. Which, I suppose includes limb removal."

" Very good. The leaders of Hellghast earn their name. All of them. "

I don't think that's happening anymore, Erwin.

"Ooh. The duel of honor broken. This is not going to end well."

ENEMY PHASE !
SUBJECT IS PROTECTED IN A CURSED FIELD !

>can't have a duel with the enemy commander
>You have no honor hellghast

>>16184922
"It never was an honorable duel, you think the voss general showed up just to have a duel with someone and gloat? Use some sense."

"I gotta load! Hodr, Soapworth, give me some covering fire!"

rolling for my actions

Also, Advisor Knightley, have you or any of the Scout Sniper squads been able to contact Peregrin? We could use some heavy rain right about now!

>>16185046

IronCommand, I wasn't merely roleplaying when I said I'd disappeared. Last tactical map with my squad on it was >>16182039

>>16185058
"I don't care advisor, you have no right to tell me what to do. You can only advise me and if I chose to ignore those you have nothing else to say. I won't accept insubordination in this unit anymore, is that clear?"

"Someone get Father Zwei out here, NOW! Tell him to bless those artillery shells, or something! I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S BLOODY POSSIBLE, JUST DO IT! I do not like that the Major is on her own out there!"

"Someone get into the machine shop! See if you can't create some silver bullet or something!"

"AND SOMEONE GET THAT BLOODY BRIDGE UP!"

"Gene, move to evacuate Kess and Springer! I want the kill box clear!"

>>16185058

Well, the way I see it is the CO called for the duel, so we ought to honor Mana's word. But you know, I'm just a lowly private so don't mind me.

HOLD YOUR FIRE, GODDAMNIT! Are you people freaking blind?!?!

>Plus it's enemy phase. WHY ARE YOU POSTING ACTIONS.

"I don't like sitting by and doing nothing, but if the Major wants to get herself killed over something as damned foolish as 'honor' then let her, I won't cry when she bites it."

>>16185118
"I intended that to be for the others, but certainly." Covering the radio, he looks over at Knightly. "So, any bets?"

>>16185092

"Negative Paisley, I have been unable to raise Peregrin. It is highly likely that the Major will counter-act my orders. And given the situation, I do not believe a standard carpet bombing run will do us any good here."

"All ground forces, I suggest you move to some place of relative safety and await evac by Gene's Stork."

ACTION PHASE.

I would like to point out to those squabbling, IronCommand opened up with Action phase, which is the signal for -everyone- to do something. If nobody was supposed to interfere, simply saying only Mana should act would be better. You can't blame people for trying to kill the enemy when invited to.

>>16185240
Oh you silly foolish Anon. That would be FAR TOO SIMPLE.

rolled 9, 3, 6, 7, 2 = 27

>Target the combat area
>Wait.

"Gene, move to Kess and Springer's position and get them out of there. Springer, Kess, you are not equipped for this fight. I suggest you leave immediately."

"For the rest of you on Mana's side, I suggest that you move to Springer's position using the side tunnels and await evac."

Alright people, I want you falling back to safe positions. We have no idea what this thing is capable and as you can see, trying to screw with it right now is a very VERY bad idea.
