SPACE MARAUDERS - Deployment time

[Tingalz]

Aim all our weapons at them.

Begin a conversation to make the update easier

goddamnit heal big red already holy stuff we didn't need 4 guys to shoot two measly pistol-wielding grunts

save the do everything plasma weapon

Squishy moves in to heal Big Red.
Meanwhile, you decide to strike up a conversation with Tom while he's hiding.

: Well, those cultists sure did a lot, right Tommy? : Why are you even here!? Why did you follow me? : I didn't follow you. When you try to take over a planet, word travels fast. : The Solar Empire? Did they send you? : You've always been a clever one. : And the iconians? What do they want? : You think I know? It's probably all about that goddamn artifact that you obsess over. : Power this important mu-

Suddenly you hear a series of loud crashes coming from directly above.




Three slabs of dark grey metal impact the ground over by where the cultists were. As the dust clears a bit, they unfold and reveal an iconian captain guarded by two soldiers with hulking armor you've never seen before, both carrying equally hulking guns. Tom remains fearless.

: Uh. : YOU'RE NOT TAKING MY ARTIFACT, ICONIAN SCUM! : Red's not gonna like waking up to this...

You have enough cover to hide behind, and if you're lucky the iconians will be more interested in Tom than you.

[Aces]

Might wanna equip ulris's shield while in cover too.

Unless those are melting guns...

Get everyone behind cover though.

Wait what happened to the black-robed guy

[Tingalz]

Wait what happened to the black-robed guy

He disappeared while you weren't watching, it seems.

[Harm94]

Oh hey it's red eye.

Edit: You should leave.

[TeslaCoil]

Deploy battlefield deception

[Aces]

We can't leave without Big Red

[Harm94]

We can't leave without Big Red

Just drag him out.

[Legodude77]

Get everyone to drag Big Red and get outta there.

[Aces]

I nominate that the captain stay and hold them off!

[TeslaCoil]

Get everyone to drag Big Red and get outta there.

Not without the artifact.

[Harm94]

Tom should come with as well the group as well.

[Menen]

Request Air Strike

[Conan]

loving stuff why can't we do this airdrop stuff or something

plot armor will save us if we don't do anything dumb

sit tight and hide behind the pillar until big red can get up.

don't surrender though he'll just probably slaughter us

[Harm94]

I think staying would be a dumb idea and someone looses plot armor. It's a shame we don't have someone to cause the ceiling to crash down on the commander again.

[Conan]

time for transport ship/Privateer's Blade to be our deus ex
