sorry for the delay anons.
Your team has reached the warehouse safely where a single Exalt Operative was patiently waiting.

The hive recognized your face, he wasn't like the others; up close, you could spot hundred of small tiny pores all over his hands, neck and face, "Good to see you again. Now, before anything, you and your squad must take this serum if we are to start; my fumes won't differentiate friend or foe; if it breathes, it dies...."

>Accept
>Refuse
>Other

>>44900290
hundreds

>>44900290
>Accept
Tell Ishmael to prep for blood screening when the team gets back; we should reverse engineer the serum if we can in case Exalt uses Hive against us in the future.

Your squad reluctantly took the serum "Good, good. Thank your for your cooperation. Millions were spent on me. Exalt expects me to come back safe and sound. You are going to me sure it stays that way."

>Roll+Tactics

Hive can instantly kill most of any non mechanical robots with his toxic fumes. As for TES weapons, Roll 1d6 if we are to use it:
1,2=The circuit is fried, no wreckage, only alloy fragment
3,4=The circuit is fried, but we can reclaim the wreckage
5,6=We can reclaim the whole thing intact.

>>44900572
Hello anon.

>>44900761
I assume we deployed where Hive is located.
Does it hide us completely from view?

Which one of the Advent figures is a Mech?

Can we hand the Anti-Disruptor Goggles to someone else?

>>44900823
we are hidden for now
l=grunt
^=turret
Box=Mech

sure, why not

>>44900290
Was waiting for more to show up but if one persons all it takes to go then...

>Other
Too late now, but I would have had our medic check it over before administering it to our WHOLE TEAM.

>>44900761
Is there any high ground? the maps fairly small, we can pretty much shoot across it.

Would we be permitted to deploy our units in 2 groups?

>>44900935
It wouldn't be of their intrest to harm our soldiers now. yes, it is small, there is a small cliff near the Hive.
Also yes, we can

>>44900990
Is that fence around the compound high enough that no one can shoot out of it?
Or is it low enough/a chain link fence, that if we deployed to the southwest corner, we'd be exposed to fire from the turrets?

>>44901034
>>44901034
yes, none can see or shoot through it

>>44901103
Is the northeast turret on some kind of tower, so that it can shoot above the fences?

Because if we can get to a place that's out of the line of sight of the turrets, we can take them out with the TES without exposing ourselves.

>>44901195
no it is stationed on the ground

>>44900761
sniper team - takes out high value targets and targets of opportunity
Deploy Oleg, Adhira, and Andrew to the south east on the cliff.

overwatch team - focus on killing the guys out in the open and thoses that will probably come running outside of the compound.
Have Barris, supported by another scout and Loki-1 (thats the scout drone right?) take out the alien in the north west top corner of the map with his silenced gun before moving jurgen, munn, youset, brandon into that spot and scale the eastern cliff.

bait team - draws fire and enemies
send the goliath and everyone else to move in from the south west. they start the attack and have everyone pour fire at any targets in the open. goliath focuses on any turrets.

attach ann with the exalt guy to heal him if he gets wounded.

>>44901336
LOKI-1 is our smoke drone, it can't scout.

roll 1d100 for overall tactic then roll 1d6 to see whether we can capture an intact Turret/Mech

>>44901424
have the drone pop smoke infront of the turrets then.

Rolled 49 (1d100)

>>44900290
Deploy the team to the southwest, having LOKI-1 pop smoke as GOLIATH-2 takes point and fires on the Advent Grunt and distracts the Advent Mech.

Have Oleg and Adhira target the Advent Grunt coming in from the east.

Crunch and Cavalry go after the Advent Mech to have Cavalry take down the mech with the TES Rifle.

Have Jose suppress the Mech so that Cavalry can get close to it.

Everyone else aim towards the north and any enemy that pops their heads, shoot it off.

>>44901424

Hive instantly released greenish toxic fumes in the air, Killing anyone that inhale it, you felt a burn in lungs but that was it. The grunts, the sectoids-Dead.

After the Mech was disabled thanks to the new experimental weapon, A blur of Mechs burst out of the compound, one stood out from the rest, it wasn't armed with a particle canon. It was armed with a grenade and a rocket launcher.

Both GOLIATH-2 and LOKI-1 were wrecked by the initial blast of it alien grenade, it primed its attention towards your squad.

>Tactic+roll

Mechs/Turrets= 1 1,2/3,4/5,6 roll to destroy/disable with TES
Sniper Turret/Advanced Turrets= 2 1,2/3,4/5,6 rolls to destroy/disable with TES
Elite Mech/other stronger mechanical units in the future=3 1,2/3,4/5,6 rolls to destroy/disable with TES for balancing purposes.

>>44902192
Did LOKI-1 release any smoke?

>>44902192
What hope are we to have if a single alien grenade takes out a SHIV?

>>44902484
>>44902484
Better tactics and the power of rolling?
>>44902370
it won't really matter with an enemy like it

>>44902536
>the power of rolling?
>in a fucking XCOM quest
Are you fucking high?
That's really stupid, especially since tactics get overridden by the RNG.

Rolled 4, 1, 3 = 8 (3d6)

>>44902192
TES kills robots right? Then hit the mechs with that, particularly the one with plasma grenades while everyone lays down fire and throws fk it ALL their grenades.

Rolled 76 (1d100)

>>44902192
Jose suppress the Elite Mech.
Cavalry use the TES on one of the Mechs firing on him.
Crunch fire on the other Mech that's shooting at Cavalry and him.

The rest of the team try to disperse and have Hive take cover behind the cliff.
Have Oleg pop smoke so that he can fall back.
Have Adhira try to disable the weapons on the Elite Mech. If she gets that shot off and the rockets/grenades get disabled, have the squad take out the other mechs/turrets.
If the disable doesn't work then everyone concentrate fire on the Elite Mech.

Rolled 4 (1d6)

>>44902788
TES roll

>>44902738
Anon, we don't have the 3 TES rifles needed to take down an Elite Mech in a single turn.
Mechs/Turrets take 1 shot to take down.
Sniper Turrets/Advanced Turrets take 2 shots.
Elite Mechs take 3 shots.

So far we've only done 1 shot per turn.

>>44902536
Is Yousef able to take more than 1 shot per turn?
If he can, then he can try to take down the Elite Mech. But we've only had single shots/rolls a round so far.

Your squad scattered as the Mech fired another grenade. Yousef shot the damn thing twice before it was disabled for good, Once this main thread was gone, the rest of the Mechs were easier to pick off.

Hive thanked you and your squad for the help, he wished to see us in the future soon. He advised us not to take the corpses. Somehow, you trusted his words; both the grunts and the sectoid had a greenish tint on their cold dead faces. You and your squad may be immune but the whole base wasn't

You Lost:

Goliath-2
Loki-1
1 smoke grenade

You gained:
1500 Alloy
1500 Meld
150 ELR-GEN power source
Intact Advent Mech
Particle Canon
Elite Mech Wreck
Damaged Advanced Processing unit
4 Mech wreck
2 Turret wreck


I think that's it for today, I am not feeling too well to continue. More research/projects will be available. Thank you for participating.
>>44902738
>>44902807
2 got 2 4s

>>44903145
So wait, a single TES in a single round can roll 3 times to take down an Elite?

You didn't explain things again, and led to confusion once more.

>>44903145

>Mechs/Turrets= 1 1,2/3,4/5,6 roll to destroy/disable with TES
>Sniper Turret/Advanced Turrets= 2 1,2/3,4/5,6 rolls to destroy/disable with TES
>Elite Mech/other stronger mechanical units in the future=3 1,2/3,4/5,6 rolls to destroy/disable with TES for balancing purposes.
So, does each person roll 3 dice if we're taking down an Elite Mech?
Do we get 1 roll per TES, or is the 3 rolls just for the attempt?

Because you mentioned "balance", normally that'd imply that we need 3 hits instead of 1 hit, and each weapon can only make 1 hit per roll per update.
Or do the updates encompass multiple rounds and we should make plans accordingly?

>>44903145

Question.

So we dont take the corpses, thats fine.

What about advent/alien equipment or fragments.

Theres got to be at least 3 or so intact advent armours theres plus the assorted weapon/shield fragments.

And considering we salvaged mech wrecks, we should have been able to salvage the equipment.
