Fuss About a Bus - Turn 4

Turn 4 - Skion

Skulls Mackenzie commands his pig steed forward. Once he's in range of his beloved PartyBattleBus, he takes his phone and sends a signal.

Image


The partybattlebus roars to life! Elyana jumps behind the wheel and revs the engine.

Image


CRRAASSHHH

With the mighty machine in reverse, Elyana easily crushes the wooden barricades constructed behind the bus.

Image


Elyana switches gears and the bus blows full speed up the hill.

Image


3 Skion troopers get the hint and sprint to board the vehicle.

Image


The commando takes a firing position near the other door, while two regular troopers get behind the wheel instead of Elyana.

Image


Outside, the two remaining troopers are busy fending off technobandits. One of them is successfull, while the other is attacked by a sheep.

Image


And Elyana? She takes to the skies, circling the bus like a hawk.

Image


She uses her thunderglaive to electrocute a technobandit.
(feat success)

Image


But this provokes a response action from the other newly arrived bandits! They roll exceptionally well, with 2 of them taking their attack Over The Top.

Image


The commando jumps out of the bus to redshirt for his heroine, absorbing one lethal dose of damage.

Image


But the remaining shots strike Elyana! She's hit!

Image


"Commander is down! I repeat, Commander is down!"

Turn 4 - SpaceCops

Two SpaceCops open fire on AstroMike, as they now have clear line of sight.

Image


A technobandit flies in to redshirt for his hero!

Image


Dasher steps up to the line.

"Let me show you how it's done. They don't teach you this at the Academy, boys."

Image


pew pew pew pew

Dasher lets it rip, firing a massive barrage of bullets at the technobandits.
(feat success)

Image


The impact is insane! Taking all four shots Over The Top, AstroMike and everyone around him are dealt massive damage.

Image


Without anyone nearby alive enough to redshirt for him, AstroMike takes the full blow, and his armor doesn't hold.

The musik from the partybattlebus goes silent. For just a few moments, only a peculiar noise is heard from the speakers, like rapid clacking on a keyboard.

Image


Then the musik from the partybattlebus picks up again, filling the air with intensely motivating beats.

While Dasher receives a congratulatory fistbump from the SpaceCop in riot gear, Officer Spongelove attempts to use a blaster that was laying around. But he critfails and loses his other hand.

Turn 4 - Studland

The S.M.I.L.E. squadleader cuts away at the foliage on top of the hill, and the Studlanders make their way down.

Image


One of them opens fire on a technobandit from behind a bush.

Image


The technobandit jumps out of the way. He bails...

Image


... and bails, and bails, and bails...

Image


... landing aaallll the way at the other end of the Technobandit rave site.

Who is this guy? I honestly have no idea. All I know is that he suddenly bailed over a distance of 16 inches, like it was nothing.

Image


Meanwhile, Bertinator caught up with Skulls. He shoots a technobandit, but the shot deals hardly any damage.

Image


"I suggest you get yerself a bigger gun, Bert."

Turn 4 - INTERLUDE

Cleet-o-bot decides to dig up a pumpkin.

"Wake. Up. Sheeple."

Image


As the pumpkin is uncovered, it appears to be attached to a black, bony torso.

Image


The digging reveals an entire skeletal figure.

Image


It lets out a sigh, and starts to get up.

Image


The horrific pumpkinspawn walks! It strides over to the nearest Droplet.

Image


"Trick or Treat, motherfucker."

Turn 4 - Iriorians

The Droplet brings down his axe in a mighty swing! The damage is incredible - enough to smash the creature back into oblivion - thereby ending what would have been an epic duel, in a single action.

Image


"I hate halloween. Can't wait for Christmas. Oh well, at least we got some hellhunt bonus points."

Image


Meanwhile, two Droplets gun down Nova.

Image


Nervyr once again channels his Rehinnic magik.

"You won't stand a chance against my linear bricktomic debuildification!”

Image


The bolt hits a technobandit in the face, and...

Image


pop

... the minifigure is simply deleted from the battlefield alltogether.
(feat success)

Image


Over on the other side of the partybattlebus, C4N-D tries to take control of the partybattlebus' weapon systems, but she doesn't manage it just yet.

Turn 4 - Ze Clankers

Brag tries to inspire his clankers to trigger their integrated rekonstruktion protocol.

"You ah ze clankerz, you ah vrom Robotworld! Lazerboltz kan't deztroy you!"

Image


"Well in that case, I guess I'll just fire blind!"

Image


BLAM!!

Confused by Bragallots' words, the droid misuses its blaster to dekonstrukt themselves.
(feat failed)

Image


Brag takes matters into his own hands, readying his handcannon. He angrily shouts at the technobandits,

"You got mud on your faze, you big disgraze!
Kicking your can all over the plaze.
We vill rock you!'"


Image


"Everybody now!"
We will. We will. Rock you!


It's Fre-bone-y Mercury!

Image


As Brian Mays' guitar solo blasts at full volume from the speakers, Fre-bone-y sprints down the hill. Together with the meleedroid he disposes of a technobandit. The droid uses his chainsaw, Fre-bone-y utilizes a kick in the groin.

Turn 4 - Technobandits

The mysteriously agile technobandit assesses the situation.

Image


"Well lads, this is it. We're not winning today. Grab a cold one and let's go out with a bang!"

The technobandits have decided to Fight A Losing Battle and go out in a Blaze Of Glory!

Image


PEW PEW! BANG! ZAP!

The technobandits charge forward, guns blazing!

But... only the meleedroid goes down. (+1 Instant Bennie)

Image


The last of the KatyCats manages to headshot a Droplet. (+1 Instant Bennie)

Image


The technobandits are out! But what's this? The mysterious bandit heads over to Elyana's body.

Image


He picks her up!

Image


Oh! He'll make a run for it, kidnapping the injured heroine. But will he make it? He's out of movement inches for the turn.

The bandit has to travel 6 additional inches, at Half Speed - that means he'll need to roll a total of 12 using the Instant Bennies.

Image


It's a good roll, but not quite enough!

Image


The technobandit almost makes it off the map with Elyana as his captive. What a cliffhanger!

Don't tell the others, but... He'll be back.

How? :mystery:

Perhaps his consciousness was rapidly transmitted via the speaker system to... the ninjaverse?
