Because this will pair nicely with Algol's skill set.

Wait really? No one wants the Fist of the North Star? The Twin linked Assault Cannons doesn't even have armor piercing.

Come on.

It's even upgradable for Pete's sake.

>>2594123
I like ranged, and we already have an upgradable melee weapon, I'd prefer to switch over to essentially what Akashido was, dodging around pelting them with dakka

Because this got the most votes this will be taken.

It's great and all to have Durendal and all the close combat shit, but diversity won't hurt us

>you select your ransom.

Returning victorious to Polaris you are inundated with messages.

Your console flares sporadically with hundreds of requests. Insincere congratulations, business deals, and more then a few indecent requests.

Your spam filter kicks in and you see that you got a message from Neil.

"Hey buddy, you really kicked ass this time. I wanted to get some drinks later. You want to celebrate, I made some real money betting on you."

Your belly deep laugh reverberates off the metal walls of your chambers, when you finish. You imagine there were a lot of people who came into some money betting you.

Another message is from.....Grimmly of all people.

"This probably seems strange but I'd like to meet you. Just want to take your measure, your the first to beat me in a long time. Send me a message when you have the time."

The Harper siblings have also sent you a message.

"Congratualtions on your win, If you want we can celebrate with you. if you get the time, just ask us."

Sitting in your easy chair....you smile gently. You have people asking to see you personally, not for work or some transaction but because they just want to socialize. A year ago you were couped up in this fortress half mad trying to finish Algol, but now..... you feel happy, satisfied.

Such a strange feeling after so long.

What do you do?

Buy party poper cannons for our robot and water jets

A party poper made for a titan could probably be used as a siege weapon.

The novelty is pretty good though

how much

Sorry for coming back late. my parent swere idling with family and Ijust got back.

I'll write up the update.

Looking through your invitations to celebrate a thought occurs.

Why not host all of them?

Looking through your contacts you begin to sned invitations to celebrate aboard your home.

Activiating your drones, you begin preparations. Drinks from your stock, and fresh food shipped in from Polaris all to be served to your guests.

what preparations for the party would you like to make specifically?

>Write-in

>>2594957
party poper for a titan

Fuck it we rich bitch stripers and ice cream

>>2594957
>what preparations for the party would you like to make specifically?
Let's set up a kaiju encounter, or contract one. We can all beat on it for fun.

>>2594979
Ice cream is understandable. everyone loves ice cream. It's universal.
Not so sure if the husbands are ok with strippers. I'm not a fan of them either.

>>2594979
>>2595049
>Strippers
I don't even know if Rickert is the kind of guy to enter a strip club. His characterization up until now has pointed to him being kinda straight laced.

>>2594979
No strippers, several of our guests are in married relationships with kids.
The titan party popper will be a hoot though.

>>2595049
Lets see if we can find a kaiju threat that needs multiple delta class titans to handle afterwards.

>>2595070
What if we kill some Kaijus with party poppers?

>>2595065
Did our regen core repair the other two titans yet? Neil can pilot one for fun.

>>2595083
>pilot a titan for fun.
Bad idea. Really bad idea.

Operating a titan takes some pretty stict conditioning and training. The mental strain and physical feedback can kill someone if they aren't ready.

>>2595095
I did not know that
Neil can use one of the Dreadnaughts then. Can A dreadnaught be commanded by a single individual and the rest be controlled by the system?

I guess we should have a more relatively normal party?

>>2595113
>mind control the dreadnought
Rickert could whip that up.

>>2595121
...What about all three at once?

>>2595126
That would be a little much for Neil to handle

>>2595129
one it is then

>party preparations
Ice cream treats, a titan sized party poper, and a Kaiju hunt as entertainment later on.

Okay I'll write up the update

Your guests greet you in the hanger when they arrive.

Grimmly arrives alone, The Rachel and Isaiah arrive with Clara and the baby. Neil arrives with his family as well as his associates. This is the first time you've seen the rest of his family. Sarah is present, but also his wife, children and some of his grandchildren

It's a little strange to see all three groups together.

A lone man not unlike yourself, a small recent family, and then an extended one, patriarch and matriarch with their brood.

"Welcome all, I hope you brought an appetite because there's plenty to eat.

What did you make for the parties food?
>barbacue and classic sides such as potato salad and baked beans.
>Food that Kazuo has told you about and later made together. Bowls of rice and various meats forming massive dishes all together along with vegetables
>Multiple pasta courses with pork and sauces with sweet breads.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>2595333
>>2595364
Roll off 1d2
1= japanese food
2= BBQ

Your guests all settle down in the dining room and start to pile on the grub.

Racks of ribs, beef tips, pulled pork, briscuit, potato salad, baked beans, steak cut fries, coleslaw, grilled vegetables, and watermelon.

You remember the cook outs you and your regiment had during the rare moments of peace during or after a campaign. You'd eat your weight in ribs if you could.

Sitting down, Neil is off to your right and Grimmly plops down next to you. Taking a good look at him you see that he's a big man. Even without being augmented he's about 6'7'' and 250 lbs. The massive beard and thick eyebrows gives him a rather intimidating appearance when combined with his blunt mirthless features.

"This is good stuff, you learn to do this yourself?" The bear man asks.

"Yeah. Back during the war my unit would cook and grill when we had the luxury of being in the open, provided it was safe."

Grimmly nods in approval but doesn't probe further.

Neil grabs your attention when he taps your shoulder.

"I would like to introduce the rest of my family. You already know Sarah, but here's the rest."

Neil points out each of his brood. Starting with his wife.

"I'm Catherine, pleased to meet you. Neil has told me quite a bit about you, not everyday you meet a pilot." You reach over the table to shake her hand, taking care to not grip too hard. Your near superhuman strength may require concious effort in order to apply but your base strength is still rather dangerous.

"I'm Thomas, the eldest son and this is my youngest Charlie." Next to Catherine is a man in casual wear. He's clean shaven with trim blond hair, he carries a baby on his lap.

The man next to him pipes up.

"I'm Stephen, I'm Neil's other son. I just want to say that I follow your every match. Shit's always good when you show up." The young man smiles before his brother slaps his head.

"There are children present, idiot show some restraint."

Next to Stephen is a young women. She has long braided hair, and she blushes when you gaze turns to her.

"I'm Natalie." The young woman averts her eyes. She picks at her food furtively.

Stephen grins mischievously before cuping the side of his mouth and (not so subtley) whispers.

"She has a crush on you." Natalie wraps her arm around her brother's neck and begins to wrestle with him, her face beet red.

You look on mildly perturbed. Neil looks with embarrasment.

"My little girl is a little odd, but she saw some of your vids fighting outside of the tournament. People in general have been starting to take a liking to you. The action figures of Algol have become a popular item."

You know that you didn't sign off that, you don't care for the money but someone is getting sued, the kind of lawsuit that involves a cease and desist missile.

Neil points over to the small table you made for the children. Three boys and 2 girls. An older boy probably about 12 and a girl around 10. Twin bots about seven and a girl around 5.

(1/2)

"The older boy and girl are Thomas's, Thomas jr, and Amanda. The twins are Jonas and Timothy, and the little girl is Joyce, they belong to Stephan."

Your face contorts with thought. There's no other woman here to be Stephan's wife.

"She died in a sky car accident. A control pylon got shot up in a police standoff and went critical the next day, the automated repair system failed."

His face is stern, but it softens not much after.

"it's been hard without her but tis trip has been doing me and the kids some good. They really like watching with me. They couldn't stay seated during your fight with Grimmly."

Looking back at the childrens table you notice the twin boys are smashing figurines of Algol and Ursa major together.

"Did you sign off on a toy deal?" You ask Grimmly who rumbles in agitation.

"F-fudge no." He manages to catch himself from swearing. Both you and Grimmly commiserate over you joint hatred of bootleg merchandising. They didn't even get Algol's horns right, they're all curly and shit.

You've been introduced to the new guests.

Do you want to talk to any of them?

>ask a question or make a conversation topic with any of your guests. (Specify who)

>>2595641
>the kind of lawsuit that involves a cease and desist missile
I have this foreboding feeling that he means quite literally, be it a titan missile or a bound stack of laws throw at ludicrous speeds.
Lets talk to Grimmly. So I heard something about how he brought his house up from all the dueling?

Ask any of the pilots if they have any experience fighting Kaijus.

I'll sign off for tonight. I'll be back around 2PM tomorrow. Have a nice night anons.

>>2595668
>>2595714

>I heard you brought up your house fortunes through dueling?

Yeah. Spent decades building up Ursa Major to be able to fend off the neighboring noble houses. Spent a lot of time using nothing but The fists and nothing else. Just like you did with that guy, some wide guy is always willing to take the bait thinking he can beat in a contest of skill.

I did a fair bit of trade lane raiding as well, not exactly proud of that though, but it stand that the edict only forbids using a titan on a planet, space war is free adn clear.

Used to that we got bullied all the time and couldn't trade. One time I spent a full year destroying every trade fleet one of rivals had until they couldn't stand to go into space.

Nowadays there are more titans to guard home, and we can go about our business in peace.

>Anyone have any experience fighting Kaiju?

The Harpers shake their heads.

"We've never had the opportunity, or the displeasure of having to hunt or fend one off. We heard about your recent hunts though."

Grimmly nods.

"I have. Only been deltas though, not really the most rewarding prey either. I've probably only fought 1 that was strong enough to have something good to harvest.

Grafted some claw bits to make Ursa's punching more effective. I noticed you did something similar with Algol.

Your guests finish up dinner and conversation in short order. One the table is cleaned you bring them to your hanger where Algol is contained.

Looking at the titan you can already see that the colossal party poper in place. This is probably one of the strangest projects you've ever indulged in but at least this will be funny.

Directing your guests to look at Algol you get ready to press the button that will remotely activate the device.

Several milles of Streamers and shredded polymer and a titan grade explosive to pop it open.

"What on earth is that?" Grimmly squints his eyes.

You push the button.

The explosion rocks the ship, and the contents of the poper coats the inside of the chamber The rumbling is enough to knock some of your guests over, and the sound is loud enough to disorient them..

Algol lights up and multicolored lights flare across the surface of his chassis. The titan's arms lift up and the hands reveal two titanic thumbs up.

"Geez man give us a little warning next time!" Isaiah tries to strady himself after falling over. Good thing you had the children seat themselves in the stabilized chairs. While the adults voice their displeasure the young ones clap at the display.

Once your guests calm down from the shock wave and the surprise you push another button.

The chamber shifts and the dreadnought appears.

"Why are you showing a ship? I understand the prank but why show us this?" Neil asks.

You produce a dataslate before handing it to Neil.

"It's a gift. You own a shipping Business so I thought you might like some firepower to protect your shipping lanes."

Neil and his family share the same expression mouth agape and confused.

"Really? Your just giving me a massive battleship?"

You nod.

"Yeah. You're the first friend I've made in a long time, and I don't use my wealth for much so thought you would do some good with this. The pirates I took it from won't be using it obviously."

Neil looks at you, still a little unbelieving, mouth open and brow furrowed in shock.

This exchange continues until Neil and his family acknowledge that this isn't a joke.

When you tell him that you made it pilotable by one person he fainted.

You feel like you did a pretty good job.

>Your relationship with Neil has increased
>You lose a Dreadnought
>Your standing with the Schultz family has increased.
>You are now an acquaintance with Gimmly

>Are there any questions you want to make to any of your guests?

Also

>do you want to organize a kaiju hunt with the pilots?

>Yes (delta, multi delta, a beta)
>No

>>2597138
Ok let's set Neil somewhere for now then wake him later with smelling salts.

>Are there any questions you want to make to any of your guests?
Food has been had, pleasantries exchanges. Now is the time for ice cream. Because no one is too old for ice cream, but if you're lactose intolerant then there are sorbets.

Know many more party poppers do we have? Was it just the one? Can we organize multiple fights? Maybe the twins tag team a Kaiju, then it's a four vs four titans vs Kaiju fight, then the finale will be a beta?

If that can't be done then maybe multiple titans will do.

>>2597177
>party popers
There was only titan sized one, which Rickert used as a prank.

There are more normal sized ones though.

>Kaiju hunt
You can set the parameters.

How many kaiju you want to hunt and if you all fight at once are taking turns.

You can also select whether you want to take down a beta kaiju or not.

>>2597255
Deltas: 1 for the twins, then 4 vs 6, then a beta as the cherry on top. The twins can borrow some weapons if they need to.

>1 delta for the Harpers
>Then all 4 of you vs 6 kaiju
>Finally a beta class hunt
>Big game hunting with Rickert

You finish up your little get together with some icecream. You enjoy a bowl of frozen dessert with your guests especially the children who began to jump up and down frantically once you announced it.

You can't remember ever being so chipper and excited for anything as a child. Life as a ward of the state had been mostly studying and perfoming chores in order to prepare for adulthood, and then of course when you were 12 you were selected to be augmented.

Seeing Neil's family together brings a little insight into what a real family looks like. The adults come together and converse and fraternize, the children play or seek the attention of the adults, issues and plans are hashed out.

You hadn't had time for romance or family planning at any point until now, but seeing the real deal warms your heart.

You leave Neil be and turn to your other party guests.

"I asked about the kaiju because I have something planned for all of you because your pilots."

The Harpers and Grimmly draw close to listen.

"I have a course written up to do some Kaiju hunting. A group of delta class and then a beta class to finish. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in a little excursion, collect some nice trophies and monster parts."

Grimmly smiles broadly, his shiny teeth in sharp contrast to his dark beard. He has a similar smile to you, one that is too toothy and too large to seem friendly.

The Harpers look a little cautious, Rachel pales a little and Isaiah grimaces.

"That sounds a little dangerous. I mean the tournament is dangerous but with kaiju its kill or be killed. And a beta class is no small thing, they can rip apart unprepared titans."

Grimmly shrugs and claps Isaiah on the back.

"Between Rickert and I you have nothing worry about. If nothing else we'll retreat if things get a little overwhelming. Besides some Kaiju bits and bobs make fore some good spending money, or upgrade materials. The claws I put on Ursa are dead hard and even the stuff too ordinary to use still sold well, all kinds of gutless nobles like to buy trophies to compensate for being terrible pilots."

The siblings remain a tad unconvinced, but they seem less intimidated by the prospect. Grimmly is a veteran of titan combat after all, and with Algol and ursa on the field there are few things that can match them in letality, even a beta class kaiju.

The Harpers eventually agree to go on the hunt. It takes some more cajoling from both you and Grimmly but in the end the date is set.

You party wraps up and you guests being to make their way to the hanger.

Sleepy eyed children are shepherded onto the shuttles, and soon your guests leave after saying goodbye.

You remain in the hanger for while even after they leave. In the silent metal chamber you can hear your own heartbeat.

It's been a long time since you enjoyed so much company. You forgot what it was like to spend the day talking to people. You feel tired, even despte your superhuman endurance. Thta's what its like spending time with people, its exhausting, even if all you're doing is having a good time.

Eventually you return to your chambers and fall asleep.

>not duel wielding two two-handed weapons
Maybe we should keep the sensor disrupter array a secret for the next match
Why not the combustion rays over the heavy auto cannons? The combustion ones have AP.

Remember you can now use Gungnir (a beta class spear weapon) if you feel like it.

>>2597715
Can Algol's damage resistance stack with the Adamantium plates?
Is Algol's base technically now 150? Does that mean the Regen Core will heal him up to 150 now?

>>2597804
>damage resistance stacking
yes

>Base health for regenerating
Yes

>>2597798
Personally I think we should save it for the next match as a big surprise.

>>2597715
Changing to
>Gungnir (10d10+10 melee damage, Two handed (beta class), armor piercing, charge attack. x3 crit throwing damage, shield breaker, cannot be used right now until +6 strength)
>2x combustion rays (3d6+3 energy damage shoulder mounted weapons, armor piercing)

>Nano Forged Adamantium plate (+5 universal damage resistance
>Sleipnir engines (thrusters (beta class) that can allow you to move with devestating speed, +5 to melee damage, +2 to defense rolls, allows for fast movement and high jumping for a beta class titan)

>>2597814
There's something wrong with you Equipment choices. You have one too many or you need to remove the jetpack. The engine, because it is beta tier, requires two delta slots. I would suggest removing the additional +50 HP equipment. I still want to reserve it as a surprise though. not sure if you're aware or not, but we do have more effective arm sloted weapons of choice.

>>2597809
Can we dual weird two handed guns?

>>2597834
>duel wield guns
Yes.

Shit I quoted myself
*cough cough* the Twin linked Assault Cannons and Laser Destroyer Cannons can each fit onto an arm.

>>2597834
>the engine, because it is beta tier, requires two delta slots.
Ah fuck me

>>2597814
Supporting this if the changes in >>2597834
are made

Akashido's weapon deals 2x4d6 energy damage, re-roll damage and has armor piercing

Grimmly's has cannons 2x 3d8 ballistic damage and re-roll damage

The Fusion Lance does 3d10+5 energy damage, has a charge attack and is armor piercing.

We can dual weird weapons that typically require both hands now that Algol's strength is +5 and up. Please reconsider your choices of arms

Gonna be at church, vote until I get back somewhere between 8 and 9PM

I'm back.

>>2597814
>>2597858

This option wins I'll just remove the adamantine armor equipment.

>Gungnir (10d10+10 melee damage, Two handed (beta class), armor piercing, charge attack. x3 crit throwing damage, shield breaker, cannot be used right now until +6 strength)

The laser cannons can't be equipped because you have Gungnir in hand.

>Loadout is selected.

Now for the quarry you will hunt

In the small of time you spent searching for kaiju sightings you hit an early break you found 7 delta class and 1 beta class.

You found...

The first kaiju you'll be hunting is

>A heavily armored and durable
>Fast and agile
>Possesses powerful ranged attacks

The group of 6 were
>A pack of identical monsters
>A group led by some kind of alpha (in status not kaiju class) kaiju

The beta class Kaiju is
>Quite large even for a beta and capable at both range and close quarters
>A berserk monster with disturbing endurance and raw power

>>2598755
Is it not too late to swap out the +50HP armor for the +5 resistance plates?

>>2598840
I'll change it if anyone else objects.

I'm turning in for the night, and come back around 2PM tomorrow.

There hasn't been much participation like there normally is, but I imagine that many anons are enjoying their memorial day weekend and spending it with their friends and family.

>>2599313
goodnight

I'm back, make sure to vote for the kaiju you'll hunt.

>>2600445
The first one, or the one Algol will personally fight?

>>2600458
All three categories
The first one will the kaiju that the harpers fight while under the supervision of you and Grimmly

>>2600471
we gonna hunt all of them. Except the first one. That one is the twins.

>>2600497
What I meant by vote is select which of the options to hunt

For the single kaiju for the twins there are 3 options so pick 1.

For the pack group pick one or the other

and for the beta pick one or the other.

>>2600502
the beta for sure

Hmmm. It seems that the anons aren't biting today.

I'll wait to see if anyone else votes, Although I fear this maybe a dead thread. Unfortunate but it happens.

>Quite large even for a beta and capable at both range and close quarters

Hey guys. Would anyone be interested in replacing the +50HP Heavy Armor or the +5 universal resistance armor with the Magnetic Mitts?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmjhsCbeeG8

>>2600729
Given how we can regen i thing damage resist may be better

>>2600739
True true, but there are some attacks that can bypass damage resistance, unless it's a superior version. I think there was once one we could buy from an artisan that was +10 and negated half of all armor penetrating attacks. Something like that.
Anyways with at least with the Magnetic Mitts we don't have to get up close and personal, but I'm probably the only one that wants it.

Just let them borrow some equipment, and swap out weapons if they want

>>2600884
I suggest Rachel gets the Heavy Thrusters, replace her shield with the heavy one and give her last equipment slot the 1 heavy armor. Tanks for days.
Isaiah gets the Heavy Duty Capacitors, Massive reactor core and replace one of his shoulder mounted weapons with the Railgun. Behold! The Titan Flashlight!

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Loading up the fortress you head toward your destination.

The Chimera Nebula.

A spot where no humans live on account of the kaiju that seem to populate it in significant numbers even when hunters come to cull them.

Worlds with wildly different climates and ecology. Emphasis on ecology, these worlds were home to the mega labs that produced all manner of super organisms and illogical life. Jungles that encompass entire planets, oceans teeming with strange ocean life and subterrenean plants and troglodyte organisms that dig planet spanning tunnel networks.

One such planet is your first target. A desert planet with massive underground fresh water reserves underneath, guarded by packs of roaming kaiju, one of which is your current quarry.

On your way into orbit you sit on the command deck, relaxing and drinking some nice hot coffee when Grimmly appears and sits by you, an open bottle of his beverage of choice in hand.

"You think the squirts will be ready for this? Fighting kaiju is a completely different experience then fighting titans. Beasts have the advantage of their wild instincts and savagery. A battle to the death changes the nature of the fight, you think they can handle the pressure?"

You continue to drink your coffee in silence, you contemplate his words.

"I don't really know. I've never seen them fight. My gut tells me they won't freeze up, so at least they won't make the mistake of being timid when hunting."

Grimmly belches before taking another swig from his bottle.

"What's your relationship with those two anyway? You sweet on the girl or something?"

What do you say and how do you feel?
>write-in

>>2601056
Just friends. I kind of miss having those. You know since all my old ones are dead. You want your gun back for the fight?

>>2601075
"I met them when I was trying to sell off some of the extra titan gear I had, and I started spending some time with them. They're just friends. I kind of missed having those. You know since all my old ones are dead. You want your gun back for the fight?"

Grimmly belches again and nods appreciatively.

"I'd like that, gonna need some extra dakka for this hunt especially that big one you showed me."

Grimmly leaves once you reach orbit and it's time to descend.

Dropping with your companions onto the surface you pick a section somewhat far from the beast's territory. Best to avoid dropping right on top it for now.

The desert landscape is a mixture of massive sand dunes and dry, cracked ground. Some parched mountains are around but beyond that the landscape is impressively barren.

Taking point you lead the hunting party toward the beasts den. A massive opening where the creature enters the underground water source to feed on troglydyte creatures and drink.

Once your see signs of the beast's passing you turn to the Harpers.

"I'm going to lure the beast towards us, you two will wait here and Grimmly will be nearby to provide assistance if needed. In the meantime I recommend preparing yourselves accordingly."

You leave your companions to aggravate the beast and begin the hunt.

>You are Grom the hammer, King of the dunes and the deeps

Deep in your lair no thing on this world dares draw your ire. But you feel it now, your hunger cannot be satiated by the paltry game on this desolate planet.

You feel the urge that has always gripped your kind, to leave the world of your origin and begin the eternal feast. There are worlds filled with more of your kin, and something else. Something that must be destroyed and devoured, something you must kill and crush beneath you. In the sunless depths of the world ocean, you think of the void, that all important feeling of weightlessness you need to escape this world becomes cleaer and stronger everytime you submerge to feed.

But you feel something else now, something is coming. A loathsome rumbling that agitates you, has one of your kin come to challenge you, the master of this world?

Rising out of the pit and onto the dunes steam blasts fom the openings on your regal crown. This challenger shall be eaten like all the others, none are as strong as you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjY5b6wdm8Q

The rumbling is a herald of something else. A dark cloud slinks toward your lair. It crackles with burning light, deep within you see the outline of something, something massive and dark.

Peering into the cloud you see something burn maliciously in your direction

>HUNGER. I HUNGER. YOUR FLESH IS FORFEIT

The cloud slows and the hidden thing is reveal, dark and loathsome in shape. Upright with shiny flesh. It is dead, it is dead. You smell that there is no life in it, but yet it walks.

Wait. There is another smell on the wind. Flesh, something yet lives in the dead thing, the heart of kin.

Has this thing devoured the flesh of kin? Your instincts fray and you feel your armore flesh quiver. What is this? What is this feeling?

>I SMELL YOUR FEAR BEAST. IT ONLY MAKES THE FLESH SWEETER.

It looms ever closer, it hovers above the ground aloft on burning wings. It is cloaked by the dark cloud, burning light rippling across the shiny dead flesh.

The dead thing stops and it's burning eyes afix themselves to you, they pierce through you, past you into the core of the world. it is not here to kill you, it could care less.

>YOU ARE WEAK. NOT EVEN WORTH MY TIME. BUT YOUR FLESH I WILL TAKE. DO YOU DARE APPROACH ME?

The dead thing challenges you, the king of this world. What do you do?

>Charge and crush the challenger
>Melt it with the blood of this world

>Your spray misses

The dead thing disappears from sight. The killing blood you made by dinking the water from the depths harmlessly melts the parched ground.

>SLOW. YOU BORE ME BEAST.

It is behind you, you lash out with you tail but the dead thing merely floats backwards, effortlessly dodging your attack.

You begin to notice the big dead fang it carries, it so large, but it is not part of the dead thing. Is this too part of a dead kin? It's tip makes you quake, and makes your blood boil and rumble inside.

The dead thing turns and floats away uninterested. It no longer fights you. It does not fear you.

>PATHETIC. YOU ARE NO CHALLENGE FOR MY MASTER. MAYBE THE OTHERS SHALL ENJOY YOUR FLESH BEAST.

The dead thing escapes from you, floating away in disgust.

YOU ARE KING. HOW DARE THIS CORPSE MOCK YOU.

You charge after the flying corpse, teeth and tail at the ready, you will teach this thing respect before you devour it.

You are wounded but your thick armor is able to bear the sudden onslaught of burning light and force.

But there is....something else. Your armor is breached! A massive hole lies in your hide. How can this be!

>DIE ABOMINATION!

>You are hit by an armor slayer round and your defense is reduced by -2 for a total of -1.

The two dead things circle around you, they both float on wings of fire. Their simmering hatred for you is abundant. The dark corpse is hodden from sight, but you sense it and....your blood howls. Something else nearly as dangerous as the dark corpse lurks nearby, but you cannot see it or anticipate it.

What are these things!

Kaiju lives matter

Almost pathetically low but still a hit

>>2602489
>She just about fucks it up but she does it

The grip of the corpse is trembling, you can almost esc......

>DIE! DIE! DIE!

The shiny claw the corpse wields hacks into your bare flesh. The rain of killing blows does not stop, your suffering is magnified with each strike.

You are pushed to the ground as the corpse becomes covered by your blood. Your crown is sheared, and soon your body goes numb.

You see the dark corpse descend and glare at you, from on high.

>YOU THOUGHT YOURSELF A KING BUT YOU WERE NAUGHT BUT PREY

>MAY YOU SUFFER THIS INDIGNITY FOREVER IN HELL ABOMINATION

Your body grows cold, and you are hacked apart for parts and trophies. You stop thinking, the freezing hands of death take you and at last you are no more.

>So ends Grom the hammer, King of the dunes and the deeps to be made into ornaments and tools for his slayers. Such is the fate of all beasts.

This is it for tonight, tune in tomorrow at 2PM for the rest of the hunt.

>>2602528
Dank loot

>You are Rickert again

"Good work you two. Considering this was your first time handling a kaiju, I'm impressed."

Isaiah say nothing and furtively pokes the beast's body with his launcher.

Rachel grumbles while experimentally swinging her axe.

"Need to upgrade this thing, I couldn't do any damage until it blew its own armor off."

Grimmly appears from behind a ridge and pats Grand Dame on the metallic back.

"You stopped the beast from running, and you secured the kill so that counts for something, with Kaiju if you don't secure the kill the bastard is just going to run off and regenerate and then have another go at you.

Grimmly looks in your general direction.

You get Algol to flip Grimmly the bird.

>I SHALL DEFEAT YOU YET ALGOL

>WE SHALL SEE GREAT BEAR

Carving the beast apart you get a good look at the organs and parts it has. This is including the armor shards that were collected.

weapons
>Crusher tail (melee weapon material
>Hammer head (Melee weapon material)
>2x kaiju claws (Ornament material)
>Acid conversion organ (Weapon material)
>Explosive conversion organ (Weapon material)

Equipment
>Kaiju hyper dense Adamant armor (equipment material)
>Kaiju mega shell (equipment material)

"Hey Rickert since you lured the beast and organized this, you can take something from the beast."

Rachel points to the pile of kaiju remains.

"I graciously accept."

What kaiju part do you take?

>>2603506
I'm thinking the hyper armor, the hammer head or the crushing tail. Either of the two weapons would be great when used on the hammer, but that hyper armor sounds pretty good.
I'm gonna pick the armor.

Are teeth included with the hammer head?

>>2603540
Yes

>>2603542
is it safe to eat kaiju flesh?

>>2603537
>You gain the Kaiju hyper dense adamantine armor (equipment material)

Collecting the gifted materials, you usher your fellow titans back onto your fortress before leaving.

"Were heading toward the next part of the hunt, this time were all going to hunt down a group of Kaiju rather than just one. It's pack of six near identical beasts, all delta class. Since you two have gotten your feet wet, we can think about how we want to do this."

You activate one of your projectors and hash out some preliminary strategies.

How do you want to approach this hunt?
>write-in

>>2603608
>depends on the kaiju, but generally no, they are not a standard organic creature, there's lots of extra, not very digestable materials in their bodies that make safely eating their flesh nearly impossible.

There are a few rare cases, of a rich noble house making kaiju flesh safe to eat as a delicacy for banquets

>>2603615
>There are a few rare cases, of a rich noble house making kaiju flesh safe to eat as a delicacy for banquets
I hate nobles but that still sounds metal as fuck. You kill an apex predator and then you eat it. That's radical.

For plan of attack we're observe them for a while from orbit to determine which amongst them is the designated alpha. Once we find em well take him out. The rest should fall like dominoes.

>>2603641
>there is no alpha
The option that was taken for the identical group of Kaiju with no alpha.

>>2600719
Read this, because it was the post that voted for the other two options

>>2603615
I would say scan them to find out what type they are and what they can do, drop a bit away and try to lure one or 2 away from the group once they are killed fan out in a. Half moon formation and push the beasts back arrest a wall then blast them all at once?

Us and bear will act as tanks/ distractions and the twins can go for the kill

>>2603658
>A group led by some kind of alpha (in status not kaiju class) kaiju
Hnnnn

>>2603666
Or we can just pair up and each group will hit the beast from oparest sides for a pincer

>>2603671
That vote didn’t win it was one or the other

>>2603702
I think I confused myself.
So we are going after the Beta?

>>2603674
>>2603666
>Locate the Kaiju and move in two groups to push the beasts up against a barrier then pincer them.

Gonna write up the update.

Touching down on the planet's surface your group parts into it's two squads.

You and Grimmly as one and the siblings as the other.

Spreading out you use the feed from your fortress to pn down the location of the kaiju pack.

Strange, batlike monstrosities, that are picking apart the corpse of another kaiju. They snap and fight each other for the choicest portions of the fallen creature.

Coming upon them you notice that a high range of enourmous mountains in the near distance, easil large enough to pin the creatures up against. The only problem is that they seem to be capable of flight.

The eyes of Ursa Major glow softly as Grimmly heft his twin barreled weapon.

"You ready? How do you want to do this?"

How do you attack the kaiju? (Pick targets)

Your strike misses the creature as it hops and takes to the sky. Your burst of energy melts the ground it previously occupied.

>Grimmly shoots at kaiju 2
>Rachel and Isaiah shoot at Number 4 and 5
To speed this up I'm gonna just roll for a Bo1 for all the Npcs while they fight each other.

Your comrades have better luck then you do. Their targets are wounded significantly by their combined ranged assault, hypervelocity slugs and beams tearing and vaporizing flesh.

The beast take to the sky, sreeching in pain and anger, turning to focus on the targets closest to them, lights building in their beak-like maws, eyes flashing red.

>kaiju 1-3 are targeting you and Grimmly
>kaiju 4-6 are targeting the siblings

>making collective rolls for the kaiju groups

We both dodge. Grimmly either brushed the attck off like nothing or dodges the attack like a pro boxer.

Rolled 3, 1, 6, 3, 1, 4 = 18 (6d8)

>>2604165
>>2604198

The beam attacks that the kaiju unleash are easily dodged, Grimmly to his credit merely side steps and counter fires with his assault cannon

>rolling for assault cannon damage on kaiju 3

Rolled 11 + 1 (1d20 + 1)

>>2604227

The second group of kaiju fires upon the harper's as well you can see the red streaks left behind by the beam breath the bat monsters fire.

>rolling for the kaiju then the siblings

Rolled 15 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>2604230

Rachel heft her considerable shield and guards both herself and her brother.

The three beams fizzle before her withering defense, Grand Dame remains unharmed and unmoved, the titans unmoving metal face seems to sneer in contempt at the beasts.

You turn. What do you do? (Pick target)
>Close to melee

>>2604244
>Close to melee/Strength? Not sure.
Charge one of them and impale them to the planet's crust.

hit chance is Bo3+2 I think. If attacking with Gungnir is successful then the damage is 11d10+21
