Turn 3 - Studlanders
The Studlanders move further into the cantina.
Like Mario, Bert is feeling hungry. He reaches for a donut.
As soon as Bert touches the delicious sugary treat, he feels the presence of a great force! And did Bert just see a ring of flames form around him, or is that just his imagination? Whatever the case, this donut is an immensely powerful artifakt!
Elyana has sensed this supernatural power as well.
"In the name of the Skion Protectorate, I demand half of that donut!"
But there's no way Bertinator is going to give away this delikacy.
"Studlanders! Stand ready to defend what is rightfully yours! The Skion approach to steal it from you! There is no politics! There is no alliance! There is only. this. donut!"
Inevitable Betrayal!
The Studlanders take up defensive postitions among the chairs and tables of the cantina, pointing their guns at the Skion.
Elyana isn't planning to back down, and neither are her loyal soldiers.
"Troopers! Offensive formation! Ready your weapons!"
"OPEN FIRE!"
The Skion troopers shoot for real - three Studlanders go down, the officer falling victim to enormous overkill damage.
The Studlanders open fire at Elyana. She's pushed out of the way by a redshirting trooper, who is shot, as is a trooper behind him.
Elyana sets out to repay the favor, swinging her thunderglaive at a S.M.I.L.E. trooper.
She critfails - her weapon slips from her hands, soars trough the air, and clatters onto the cantina floor.
All that remains of Elyana's attack is a boop on the snout.
More action! The Studland guncart speeds forward, unleashing Betrayal-Bennie-boosted machine gun fire on the brave Skion.
dakka dakka dakka dakka
2 Skion troopers go down and a third loses a hand. Skulls Mackenzie just stands there, bullets whizzing past him, unfazed.
A S.M.I.L.E. rocketeer realizes the left flank of his faction is now undefended, and hopes to solve that problem with an incendiary explosive.
Rockets away!
BLAM!
The rocket veers slightly off target and the damage roll is poor. No fleebnorks are killed - some of them are merely set on fire, which pisses the critters off.
A Studland mechanik begins a construktion action, finding briks just outside the base.
Berts' pig mount nibbles on a random weapon.
And Bertinator sprints forward! Upon passing them, he pews a fleebnork. But what is he planning to do - apologize to the Skion?
Oh! The quantumsurfer would like some coffee to enjoy with his donut, ofcourse.
"I swear to 2x2 - if this girl asks me for half my cup of brew as well, I'll kill her myself."
