Colorado Carnage Nov 2023

Post by ninja_bait » Sun Nov 12, 2023 7:28 pm

Featuring, from Left to Right:
Bookwyrm playing DSM penitents
Ninja_Bait playing the Council of 500
Nerv playing the Salvengers, led by Mecha Fucking Santa
Nerv's friend playing as QS Nerv and Iriorian Empire
Spectral playing Bleak Company

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.
Image

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.
Image

Bleak Company moves up and devastates the Cirrus drone walker.
Image

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

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

The DSMs move up, deploying remote turrets to defend their flank.
[Missing Picture]

Bleak Company continues to blast at the Iriorians, killing another.
Image

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

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

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

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

The C500 snoper snopes the DSM medik.
Image

Marksmen blast through the mechanik squad that deployed their turrets.
Image

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

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

The surviving mechanik takes control of this speederbike.
Image

Other DSMs move up
Image

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

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

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

Image

The ripper moves to take on the C500 hero.
Image

The C500 hero attempts to activate her retkonned gun drone!
Image

*whirr*
Image

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

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

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

The snoper trips on a sprint.
Image

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

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

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

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

The other dies to the surprise reinforcements.
Image

The C500 marksmen manage to take out that drone.
Image

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

They respond by leaping down from their squad plate.
Image

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

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

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

The heavy gunner gets into the Puddle Jumper.
Image

Image

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.
[Missing Picture]

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.
Image

Image

MFS himself attempts a parkour
Image
Image

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

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

The DSM moves up and kills the Snoper with Legma.
Image

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

The Puddle Jumper rises to the top of the tower.
Image

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

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

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

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

But the hero herniates himself attempting to lift mech parts.
Image

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.
Image

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

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

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

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

And cuts power, diving to smash it completely!
Image

Bleak Co. kills the DSM in the hoverbike.
Image

The Ripper finally claims a victim
Image

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

The marksman recovers the cult.
Image

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.
Image

The DSM hero locks into a heroic duel with Nerv in the Shadow Realm
[Missing Pic]

Final overwatch:

Having claimed the Pretzel-on-a-Stick, Nerv is the winner of this year's Colorado Carnage Trophy. My hope is that this'll get passed around over many future battles :D

Here is a pic of Nerv fighting the DSM Pharaoh. The Pharaoh used a heroic feat to get into the shadow realm to face Nerv, but after several parried hits, they eventually simultaneously critfailed on a roll and we decided that they were trapped for eternity.
