We played at Dungeons and Javas in Colorado Springs, which was a great host venue. We borrowed terrain from them.
Forces arrived at a ruined land with briks and spaceships scattered about, and an ominous tower at the center.

Members of Concave Dolphin party in the upper tower around a macguffin, the Pretzel-on-a-Stick. On the lower tower, a cult awaits rescue.

Bleak Company moves up and devastates the Cirrus drone walker.

Nerv attempts to magik it back to life, but it just falls apart further.

Mecha Santa's ripper sled and the C500 face off tensely, neither wanting to get into range of the other just yet.

The DSMs move up, deploying remote turrets to defend their flank.
[Missing Picture]
Bleak Company continues to blast at the Iriorians, killing another.

Then they sprint toward the battle's center, awkwardly stumbling through. Their hero yells at them to get it together, and they right themselves.

Nerv decides to fuck the walker, and fuck Bleak Company too, and hurls wreckage at those troops, pulping a squad.

Mecha Santa has a similar idea, but accidentally reverses the polarity and pulls the ripper to himself!

Fortunately, his troops work together to extricate him, and they start a conga line toward the tower.

The C500 snoper snopes the DSM medik.

Marksmen blast through the mechanik squad that deployed their turrets.

The C500 hero chucks her gun off into the battlefield. A big goof! Or is it...?

The DSM hero summons a purple spire, hoping to disrupt his enemies, but only manages to disrupt himself.

The surviving mechanik takes control of this speederbike.

Other DSMs move up

Bleak Company demonstrates the power of Arc Fire, reducing the Iriorians to just two remaining units.

Then they lay a trap for MFS's conga line.

However, the Salvengers are too clever, and the conga line separates to outflank Bleak Company! MFS himself explodes the flamethrower unit.


The ripper moves to take on the C500 hero.

The C500 hero attempts to activate her retkonned gun drone!

*whirr*

*clank!*
The techno-miasma causes a malfunction, and the gun transforms into another Salvenger unit.

Fortunately, the props for that failed feat mean the hero has a random object now, and she pulps the ripper driver with it!

The DSM mechanik learns a valuable lesson in turning his back to his enemies.

The snoper trips on a sprint.

The DSMs engage the C500 regular squad, killing one with arcane pee magik

Bleak Company takes on Nerv, but the last trooper redshirts for him.

Nerv attempts a tornado feat, but accidentally drills into the earth, landing himself in the Shadow Realm.

Salvenger drones take on Bleak Company's phalanx, managing to kill one in close combat.

The other dies to the surprise reinforcements.

The C500 marksmen manage to take out that drone.

The snoper, from his disrupted position, headshoots a DSM.

They respond by leaping down from their squad plate.

The C500 officer gets cursed by the DSM hero, and her brain turns into a Fleebnork!

The next regular gets mowed down in the balls by the DSM heavy gunner.

And we finally circle back to that melee guy, who slices the last regular's head clean off!

The heavy gunner gets into the Puddle Jumper.


Bleak Company tries to shoot the gunship but underestimate its size. They also had a guy who was supposed to get it together, but didn't at first, and was sitting in the dumpster fire mech debris. He has it back together now.

Nerv fails to heroically escape the Shadow Realm
[Missing Picture]
A Salvenger drone captures the gunship and blows up the C500 hero in the ripper.


MFS himself attempts a parkour


The C500 snoper prevents another Salvenger drone from taking over the ripper.

The Marksmen take on MFS but fail to overcome his armor.

The DSM moves up and kills the Snoper with Legma.

And now the DSM-controlled Fleebnork officer has the ripper!

The Puddle Jumper rises to the top of the tower.

The DSM also recover the hoverbike, slamming it into the C500 marksmen, killing two and scattering a third.

One marksman deals a secondary collision, killing a Salvenger drone.

The DSM hero summons all the terrain to himself, clearing the sightlines, and building a delightful little ziggurat for himself.


Bleak Company's remaining troops work together to eliminate MFS.

But the hero herniates himself attempting to lift mech parts.

Nerv manages to drill even deeper into the Nega Shadow Realm
[No pic]
The fight for the ripper continues, as the last Salvenger drone takes on the Fleebofficer.

It's a success, but the Fleebnork escapes to Fleeb another day


I don't quite remember what's happening here, but it sure looks like the gunship is trying to shoot the cult.

The last C500 marksman heads to the relative safety of the tower.

The Puddle Jumper raises high above the Concave Dolphin party...

And cuts power, diving to smash it completely!

Bleak Co. kills the DSM in the hoverbike.

The Ripper finally claims a victim

The Salvenger drone in the gunship claims the Pretzel-on-a-Stick from the smoldering rubble.

The marksman recovers the cult.

Bleak Co, having trained their troops thoroughly on the deadliest things in a battle and no longer sure who is paying them for this, leaves.

The DSM hero locks into a heroic duel with Nerv in the Shadow Realm
