Who's here?

His flesh hand pressed against the ground as he tried to focus on vibrations from the area. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Luna Arias Student Defense Whatever?

Outside the building stands two heavy soldiers, flanking the doorway. However, perhaps much more pressingly, the team can hear something absolutely massive tearing through the city, heading in their direction. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

His watch is the only of his personal effects he didn't leave at base. Right now, he's standing in a darkened shadow near Mr. Amtrum, and watching the surrounding area for any signs of enemy activity. This is a war zone, after all. He does indeed see the two heavy soldiers! Any visible paths that could lead to a blind spot? Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

I will do my best to buy you time from whatever that is heading our way." He'd say as he stood up. "Stay alert and watch each other's backs and you will be fine." If there was nothing from the team he'd start heading toward the ruckus! Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Luna Arias Student Defense Whatever?

I guess she's waiting for the GM's answer to Aaron's question.

It would take some significant sidetracking to get behind the two heavies. Luna goes unnoticed for now, until she gets closer! Mathew notices a fifty-story machine tear through a building on its way closer!

He'd try to avoid the flying debris if he was close enough as he looked for the most direct way to get to the machine. But he couldn't deny he was excited. It had been a long time since he has been able to fight another Dragon. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Luna Arias Student Defense Whatever?

"If you can run distraction so we can get inside, do it, but be careful. Those things are no joke and I don't want us going into a hornet's nest. Get their attention and pull back, get 'em away from the entrance. They've got some kind of force field, which we probably have to get inside to turn off." Aaron looks the building up and down, checking for windows or some kind of roof access. "The front door's a bad idea. One of my platforms can get us in there quicker and safer." And people who come late can retroactively join team distraction or team infiltration! Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die... Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

Aaron will start on his part of the plan then, drawing the electro gun as he heads for the building, since there's no windows!

It's a bunker; there probably isn't many options. Besides. She draws her lightsaber, but doesn't turn it on yet. She wants to see if the guards are knocking heads.

However, the machine starts to duck its head, opening its massive mouth! As Luna gets closer, the two heavies notice her and start to advance on her as well! She's able to grab one, but the other leaps up, latching onto her face and pulling on her nose!

That said to Savaak! She can take point, as he follows and makes sure Luna doesn't end up needing any help. "See if that thing you've got can get us through a wall?"

The other one latching onto her nose makes her crinkle it, using her hand to try and push him off with a downward swipe. She isn't falling for the punch yourself in the face trick!

There's no time to overthink things now; they've already been seen. And apparently expected. "Or you could test the door with a tendril. Either way, we don't know what's on the other side."

Both its mouth and eyes start to glow green as he advances! Luna's throw sends the heavy off into the distance, slamming into a building down the street! The other holds on tightly, and as she swipes at it, it lifts a hand up towards her face, hand glowing red before it's smacked down towards the ground. Savaak and Aaron hesitate!

Still, Aaron does indeed test the door with shadow tendrils, charging up a blast of darkness in one hand as he checks if the way is clear!
