"Well this Is not obvious at all." Leo sighs and looks thoughtfully at the area. "I could attempt to create a platform of mana over the area, but we would likely be attacked, and I'm not sure I could support this for very long."

Snow decides to chime in, her projected avatar flickering. clearly glitching out. "W-W-why Not F-Freeze it O-over?"

"Uh...because it might melt? or fail to keep the mine's from tripping? Also you really need to get some sleep. At least do a quick restart."

"I Wouldn't NEED to S-S-sleep if All your C-Code wassent such a shitty M-Mess."

"You do realize you just insulted yourself right? Look just do a quick restart ok?"
"F-Fine" Once snow's avatar has flickered out of existence leo turns his attention to the Obvious mine field. After a moment he Points at one section.

"Lets see if this blows them. Frostbrute. ice it" And of course there was this other section here......."Everyone stand back"

Leo gestures, bringing mana up to where snow rested on his waist and attuning it to the iron, before pointing forward and raiseing his arm. forming a long tendril of force, which he brings down with an accompanying swing of his arm.

Frostbrute uses ice fire stream on minefield 2 in an attempt to detonate mines from range.

Leo uses channel on minefield 1 in an attempt to detonate mines from range, spending 3 Mana

(Action level 1) Channel: The user channels mana from there soul to perform a fiatable action.
(Trick level 1)-The user may channel while preforming other actions, but only if there hands are free

Winter blade: The user uses a skill that wreaths a weapon in icy energy from there body, dealing weapon damage+STR Ice damage. Has a 10% (30% against targets weak to ice) chance of inflicting freeze for one turn, stunning them. Freeze is cured if the target is struck by an Fire attack and the attack is negated.

Snow bound: A well-made golemic Sword containing a multi material core made up of gold, iron, diamond and a soft putty, the body of a sentient AI known as Snow, who runs the blades functions. There is a metallic eye in the side of the guard that doubles as a hologram projector with a speaker under it, which snow often uses for herself. She has network and 3G connectivity, a usb connection port, and a scanner. In battle, she reveals her icy abilities.
Her blade is made of iron, with a shard of eternal ice running down the middle, specifically, a type of eternal ice that refuses to absorb heat. The handle is wrapped in leather, which is fused into the metal handel. Opposite the hologram projector is a sapphire.

Attacks with this weapon have inflict chill if the attacker succeeds a SYN vs RES check. chill increases the effectiveness of ice on the afflicted target to 150% for three turns. This weapon deals 1d4 damage, and regardless of if Snow is in reserve or equipped, so long as she remains in the inventory. She reveals and tracks any interesting or strong energy signatures, drawing attention to them.

Frost brute (equip minion): a large bulky and stocky mechanical golem made primarily of iron and copper, with large hands and claws. its large enough for a human to sit on its shoulders, or be crushed in a single hand, but small enough height wise to fit in most buildings without issue, if it can get past the doors. When its ice fire engine is running there is a constant rumbling in its chest, and the three exhaust pipes, on each side of its head, spew snow and ice, and its body is perpetually cold. Although it can act without this engine it is incredibly slow and weak without it, barely able to move under its own weight. Because of the danger and collateral risk of ice fire, this character is reluctant to field it without his own personal supervision, or the direct supervision of a trusted individual who can counter the ice fire. When using ice fire to attack this minion uses magic heat manipulating systems to prevent it from going out of control, and choke the fire as necessary.

This equip item takes up TWO action slots. this minion may be given a command once per turn as a free action when equipped.

HP:20

Ice fire stream: Frost brute releases twin streams of ice fire at its target from its hands, while using heat manipulation to keep it under control. This Deals 1d3 ice damage to a target, and inflicts the ICE FIRE! Debuff on warm and hot targets. Continually dealing 1d3 damage until it is extinguished. But passing on the debuff to anything they touch which is warm or hot, or just not frozen.

     Extinguish ice fire: Brute purges the ICE FIRE! debuff from a target.

     Absorb heat (passive): when struck by a fire or heat based attack the attack is negated and the next ice fire stream deals extra damage. However, if struck by an ice or cold attack, the damage taken is increased, and ice fire stream’s next use is negated, and all strength based actions are weakened considerably until ice fire streams next use.

(Passive) Machine Synergy: When using mechanical or golemic equipment, the effectiveness of the equipment is boosted by 3, or by [Gm fiat] if No numerical values exist for that piece of equipment. This does not take up an action slot

Golem tech arm mounted computer: a custom-built arm mounted touch screen computer. It has a small touch screen with a curve to it, and can project hard light holographic screens and interfaces on command. Its Main purpose is to monitor and control golemic systems, but it IS a computer. It also includes a web browser, several utility programs, and…a few simple computer games, along with a few movies.

In battle this device can project a hard-light shield. granting plus+1 res. This item does not take up an action slot.

"We're gonna want to have someone with another of those... long guns to take out the one with the long gun... Otherwise we should have Contagion put up some form of cover for those of us to rush in and deal with the big one. Uh... if you have middling range you should probably attack those people with... guns that are on fire? They seem most dangerous to those of us who need to attack in melee at least."

"I will attempt to take out the other sniper. I will need a clear line of sight, and frustratingly, I'm not equipped with full spectrum vision yet. Will that gas obscure my line of site?" Ena spoke in a low voice as she knelt down, and then laid herself out on the ground. The DMR was already loaded, so she began the measurements that she would need to make the shot.

Ena will try to shoot the sniper. The DMR deals 2d6+INT=2d6+8 damage with an INT*2%=16% crit chance. Also gets a +4 to damage from High Resolution.

The knight looked upon the rigged field, and drew his blade with a surprisingly fluid and graceful motion, obviously far less hindered by his armor than he'd been the day before, and all the days before that one. He still wasn't quite sure what had been different about how he'd adjusted it last time compared to the past, but either way, it was certainly having it's boons.

"The boy is right, all of you, stay away from the fields. If you can engage from a range, either help us clear the explosives from afar, or keep the enemy over yonder occupied for us."

With that said, he took up his mighty blade in both hands, channeled the mana from all around him into it's ebony edge, and made a hefty stroke that cut the very air itself as a shockwave of slashing, unbridled darkness hurtled right towards one of the Minefields, hopefully proving enough to start up a chain reaction of detonations.

Stellio makes an Attack with the Headsman and spends 5 mp to convert it into a ranged strike, targeting Minefield 3!

Perks:
Cerebral Booster: Extensive modifications to Alan's brain has caused him to be able to recall past events in vivid detail and quickly adapt to new situations. And to think that all it cost him was yet another part of his soul. Alan's intelligence is treated as having 25% more intelligence than he actually does.
Superiority: All new skills start at level 2 due to the extensive modifications to his brain's structure that has allowed him to form new memories and learn new skills even faster than he used to.

Loadout:

Barrage: Alan stylishly marks several targets with his cyberdeck by furiously typing something in their general direction while flashing a red laser pointer at them. This is seemingly done only for show, and the fact that Alan's drone almost immediately unleashes a barrage of blows that deals [Weapon Damage] to two different targets as two different attacks (As opposed to one instance of the weapon's damage divided by 2) is completely and utterly coincidental. This action has a one round cooldown.

Combat Hacking: Alan uses his years of experience and the fact that his cyberdeck is technically a quantum computer to attempt to hack into any electronic device. Make an opposed Intelligence check to disable a single target's action that depends on something that falls under the previous requirements for one round. One round cooldown.

The Alleged Gundrone (T.A.G.): A monstrous looking thing that crawls around the place on it's eight clawed feet, it appears to be carrying a single light machinegun of an indeterminable make and caliber. Deals 2d6+Intelligence damage to a single target...presumably by touching them with its bullets or clawed feet.

Highly Experimental Shield Generator "H.E.S.G." (Somebody really needs to work on that acronym): +Int/3 to Resistance due to Alan gradually starting to understand how to refine the damned thing/Learning how to use what he already has better)
Level 2: This item is now bound

Level 3: This item now provides +Int/2 to Resistance due to Alan's tendency to tinker with things whenever it is appropriate to do so finally paying off.

Mastery of the Matrix: Alan can attempt to hack into most, if not all electronic devices in his proximity as long as they have a WiFi connection, and he can directly plug his cyberdeck into anything that doesn't have one. This allows him to roll twice for a single hacking related roll, although it has a two round cooldown after it triggers.

(Trump) Do it yourself: This Trump can be exchanged for a gear or trick of equivalent level once per encounter, and the gear or trick is replaced by this Trump once again after the encounter has finished.

Alan instinctively checked to see if he was down wind from Contagion when they released their mysterious and potentially toxic gas into the air. And he quietly snuck behind a nearby piece of cover that he hoped would be nowhere near the man and whatever he was trying to do. He would then shine a red laser pointer at the two visible TALON shock troopers, and this inexplicably causes his previously unnoticed gun carrying drone to immediately charge towards them with all four of its machineguns blazing.

Alan uses Barrage to deal 2d6+Int (10) damage to both the first and the second TALON shock troopers.

Freya stayed more towards the back of the group, holding her staff lightly as she walked with them. Once they stopped though, Freya took another step back from the group, both for her own thing and to listen to Leo, "Alright, round 2 for the dirt party" she muttered, slamming her staff into the ground, causing black tendrils of mist to begin pouring out of her hands, down the staff, and into the ground.

After a few seconds, the ground began to tear itself up as human-like 'corpses' began to rise from the ground, a dull yellow light where they're eyes would be shining as they clawed their way up from the ground, silently groaning as they straightened.

Lucine fiddled with her weapons a bit, sliding two cards into it and watching the transformation of the two guns when her new Archer card was loaded. Her expression showed that she clearly didn't want to be here, but still she prepared. "Okay, Opal, I think it's time for you to take over again," she said. A moment after speaking, she lapsed into that nearly mechanical stiffness from earlier, in both her posture and voice. "Combat protocols loading. . . marking enemy targets. . . highlighting allies. . . combat protocols initialized. Bombarding priority targets." She dropped into a firing position, her guns almost parallel and locked onto one target - the enemy sniper. Three blasts sounded from the barrels of the things, sending three bolts of hostile magic in the direction of the Talon marksman.

Big Blast, all three hits targeting the Sniper. Forgo the bonus attack from Elphet Style (as it is melee.)

Synergy: 9

Perks:

Conceptual Coder: Lucine has the somewhat unique talent of being able to inscribe Class Cards with a summoning ritual (with sufficient magical power), both on the traditional medium and into other items, to grant them properties based on the Heroic Spirit forming the card. Summoning a Heroic Spirit into a card relies on her Synergy, and can pull from the history of the world she is currently in if she has learned any meaningful amount of it; she may also attempt an Essence roll to influence the card summoned. The ritual itself must also take place over a confluence of leylines, or it runs the risk of significantly draining Lucine's energy. Creating components or Mystic Codes using a Card relies on her Intelligence. Some Class Cards can be leveled; others have a fixed scaling.

Include: Limit Expand: Lucine's imitation Kaleidostick retains the ability to include a Class Card, modifying its properties based on the card included and applying this modifier to all of her actions. Grants a special Action Slot that can only be used for this purpose. The precise changes are detailed in the Card's description.

Install: Phantasm Summon: Though Lucine's Kaleidostick doesn't have the power needed to do a full Install, it can grant its wielder some of a Heroic Spirit's properties; due to the loss in power, it prioritizes defensive ones first. Grants a special Action Slot that can only be used to equip a Class Card. The precise ability granted is detailed in the Card's description.

Flaw: Magical Life: Lucine, despite appearing mostly like a human and largely being set up like one, is still a person created using magic rather than being born naturally. While she has large reserves of power, she burns through them quickly. Each combat takes a baseline of 15% of her storage capacity, and summoning a Class Card takes 60%. There are numerous methods of restoring one's mana, but she does not begin knowing them.

Actions:

Include: Red Sonja: A card containing the tale of Red Sonja, under the Archer class. When Included, it prevents any effects from hampering Lucine's attacks, and allows her to load anything she can lift into Opal as a projectile; Opal gains a large top-loader and a laser sight.
Install: Herakles: God Hand: Negates all actions targeting Lucine's that are Level 2 or lower. After being attacked, she gains +2SYN/3 resistance when attacked with the same damage type for the remainder of the battle.
-Actives

Big Blast I: A long-ranged magical assault consisting of a number of blasts of raw magic. Not a particularly refined technique, but it gets the job done. Deals SYN damage 3 times, to up to 3 different targets. 1 turn cooldown.

-Passives

Elphet Style II: Grants a 30% chance of making a followup attack to any offensive action, dealing half of her weapon's dice (e.g. if it were 2d8, the followup would deal 2d4) and half of her STR as damage.

Unidentified Wild Magic: Who knows what this does? Lucine doesn't even know its there. Automatically equipped, and does not take an action slot.

Equipment:

Kaleidostick Magical Opal (Level 3): Provides numerous things to Lucine, including a fair amount of unnecessary headache at times and the ability to utilize her powers as a magical girl. It's been modified heavily from the original designs by both Lucine and her father, resembling a pair of oversized pistols when in use in combat. The guns lock together into a slightly less threatening-looking winged box when not in combat mode, a box that can fly about under its own power.

-Damage: (Worlds Cleared+1)d8+SYN

-Soulbound: This item is immune to most item destruction or theft effects, but can be given away, granting most of Lucine's combat powers to the bearer instead.

Ammunition of the Waterfront Saint: Bullets that lend attacks the kick of a certain brawling saint. All attacks that hit while this is equipped cause a -2 SYN debuff on the victim lasting 1 turn. Only equippable if the user is already using a firearm.

Archer Class Card - Red Sonja: A card containing the tale of Red Sonja, under the Archer class. When Included, it prevents any effects from hampering Lucine's attacks, and allows her to load anything she can lift into Opal as a projectile; Opal gains a large top-loader and a laser sight. When Installed, it renders Lucine immune to most environmental effects.

Nader looked out at the minefields... and the armored Forenian was thoroughly unimpressed. What kind of shoddy explosive worksmanship was this?! Nader wasn't even any kind of explosives specialist, but chances were that he could do a better job. Of course, what if that was what they wanted Nader to think? What if the man that had put down the mines had put down a second, better-hidden layer of mines that would take the legs off of anyone fooled by the first layer of obviously poor work? Nader certainly did not plan to take any chances, as he planned to keep his legs and for that matter to keep everyone else's on them. Besides, those mines were dangerous.

He leveled his right arm in the direction of one of the minefields, and supported it with his left, careful not to end up pulling the pull-trigger installed to fire his machinegun until he actually wanted to fire it. He was taking a little bit of a gamble here -- shooting any given mine may detonate, may not detonate it, or may only detonate it if he hit it in the right place and ended up simulating the force of a step... but the fact that he was going to be putting out twenty-five or so bullets into this minefield significantly increased the chances of destroying the obvious mines and of finding and destroying any hidden ones, though the weapons engineer knew that he couldn't really be sure of success in that regard.

Nader shoots both attacks of the M3 Sorraia at Minefield 3, potentially doing 2/3*(2d6+3+5) damage to it!

Why was there nothing to kill yet? He wanted to kill something.

Once they reached the mine fields he paused to think for a moment then decided that if everyone else was working on clearing the mines he may as well help, so he started grabbing rocks, bricks, and rubble to throw on the mines and hopefully trigger them.

Talon Flame Trooper 2 uses Flame Wall, cutting Aquila off from the group! Using beneficial actions on Aquila will deal 3d6 fire damage to you!

The Talon Heavy swings his minigun into position. As the barrels begin to spin up, a glowing shield expands out from the weapon, covering Talon Skirmisher 1 and the flame troopers behind him. Thus protected, he begins to advance toward Aquila.

The Talon Sniper paints Ena with a laser sight.

Ena blows the Talon Sniper's head clean off.
