Arlon: "Fair enough. It has no ranged ability, and we have air power. It can fly, but shooting it from afar though the window seems prudent to me. Quickly, please, I'd like to set Halcyone down."

"Very well, give me 2 seconds and I will fire upon it from 50 paces"

Guns (Rifle) +7 (Aim) -8 (Range) +2 (RoF) (17 skill effective)

3d6 <= 16
1: 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 ... success (5 potential hits)
2: 5 + 4 + 2 = 11 ... success (4 potential hits)
3: 4 + 4 + 6 = 14 ... success (2 potential hits)

I'm not sure if the thing is aware enough to dodge, but with so many potential hits I imagine the 6d+2(3) pi- will probably kill it.

You don't have a clear shot of it yet: its hiding in a tower and you're on an island with it less than 50 paces away. You can "See" it because of the microbots.



How will you get an angle to shoot through the window?

I'll fly him up there...

Well, I assumed we were still levitating. How thick are the walls (or more directly what cover DR would it provide?) Failing either of those I suppose I'll climb up.

I confused you when I said Halcyone and meant Haley. Vassarious flew you over, rather than Arlon levitating you.

Do you want to climb up or have V fly you to a good angle? Or have Arlon cast the spell?

Sure, V can fly me up there.

Vassarious flies Halcyone up at about 20 yards away from the window. The three guns are at the ready.

The little knobs on the sphere must be eyes or something, and the thing is FAST, zooming out the window at 14/yards per second, ready to attack seemingly immediately.

It dodges 1 stream of bullets, but the others strike it. hitting with 4 + 3 = 7 bullets.

All hits do more than 20, and suffer from only 2 effective DR. The sphere drops into the lake with a loud splash. Its momentum carries it about right under you.

"Quite."

Let's look around the second and third floor for anything the drone missed, and investigate that basin on the third floor. Maybe it would react to the water.
