Lar sneaks past the first guard, making it into the room wear he saw them take Domonic

Lar can hear a Guilder yelling at the echoing voice of another Guilder.

Walk up and say "Durrr... Hi."

You can take this guy if he tries anything, so be ready to take his gun/whatever away, but see what info you can get out of him first.

>>345432
Knock him the fuck out first and then consider interogations. It's much easier if they're not able to try anything at all.

>>345432
Since he's in the middle of a conversation, and thus doing anything to him will alert the other guy, sneak past him and grab the minigun.

>>345432
Wait until he's done talking, then when bash his face when he's turns around, hell if that shaft he's peering down is deep we could probably dump him down it for a "plausible accidental death"

>>345495
I think I see a keyring on him, though. We wouldn't want to lose that.

the Guilder begins to hammer loudly on something, Lar takes this opportunity to sneaky up to the table

Lar: (hey this looks like a Solar gun, I wonder were they found it . . . I might be able to use it for something.)

he has keys, those are probably important. how well are they attached? if like a flimsy string you could steal them. but if they are strapped then you will need to use the big gun and smash him over the head with your awesome mutant strength.

>>345519
Use the blade which you're allegedly carrying to slash his throat. Attempt to hide the body. Acquire ALL THE GUNS.

>>345552
If he's finished talking, sure. (Do not use gun as blunt instrument when you have a knife.)

stabbing is quieter than shooting. if your confidant you can kill him quietly with your knife, do so. otherwise shoot him with either the Gatling gun or the flame thrower.

I think we can do a bit better than that:

I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "Did he fire six hundred shots or only five hundred and ninety nine?" Now, to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a 20mm Vulcan, the most powerful rotary cannon in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

Lar dodges Left and draws his knife

stab through eye and into brain.

Say, those energy tank things such as he's wearing wouldn't be prone to explode would they? Like when riddled with bullets?

I mean, that would be a pretty retarded design I'm just speculating given that he seems to be shooting off some sparks back there.

Anyhow, brain stabbing is probably in order here, although I'm a little partial to the soft spot by the temples myself. Those horns might make that a bit complicated though.

Lar uses all his mutant strength to punch the knife through the Guilder's hardened skull.

the knife is stuck

Lar: (if that thing was an energy pack it've exploded by now, more likely it's something else . . . knowing guilder gear though it might still explode later . . .)

>>346293
Well, the guilder's face is at the perfect height for a knee to the eye. That should give you enough time to twist the knife out and kick him away, so if anything explodes, you'll have a head start

Time for jumpy-dodgy. Draw it away from the weapons lying on the table: he's full of bullets and knife, and you aren't, so you can out-endure him. Once he collapses and/or explodes, you can pick up whatever is lying around without it having been destroyed in the blast.

>>346293
He's probably down for now. Grab the flamer, we could use a bit more firepower (no pun intended).

Rose investigates the sounds

Rose: (Looks like Astranian hunter bots are raiding this compound!)

use it as a distraction. wait until the fight moves away from this area then go up the stairs.

The guilders took you prisoner, whereas the killbots are killbots. This makes the guilders your best friends. So if the guilders look like their losing then give them some support, fire at the killbots from cover that protects you and keeps you out of the guilders sight. The guilders probably won't prioritize who's fire it is or hopefully they'll recognize the common enemy, maybe even gaining a bit of favor if they survive the fight.

>>347888
The only ranged weapon we have is the one that might blow up in our hands. I'd say wait for the fight to progress and see if they leave the exit undefended while pushing forward to make a run for it.

Kill the guilders and surrender to the Astranian hunter bots. Lar in front in case they don't accept your surrender.

>>347982
I wonder where that chute goes? Really, I mean we 'could' in theory ride it up or down and thereby avoid the stairs entirely, as I somehow think that the hunter bots will be using them for the duration of the raid.

The real problem is having a distraction of sorts, any idea folks?

what about that rock lift thing?
and yeah that chute the guilder was looking in may be useable as a passage.

Go down, the bots are already on their way with the guilder down. There's no time to lose.

At least take a look through the other hatch, see what's out there. Its right there after all.

>>348742
If those bots are coming in through the top of this compound then they're going to work there way down to the bottom. That means the lower down you are the more time you've got before they get there. You best best is to go to the bottom and:
A - See if there's a way out there.
B - See if there's an effective way of combating them there.
C - Wait for them to progress downwards, then climb back to the top and escape. If these things are as dumb as you say then they probably won't post guards there. Even if they do it's better than taking them all on.

he hears laser fire, and sees a mutant corpse tumble down from up high.

So going up (or across) is probably laser death, and going down is probably being trapped followed by laser death.

You may as well go down with Rose.

Hmmm, that rock conveyor keeps on going, we should keep track of that as it's likely the fastest way to get all the way up, however, the controls are likely farther down.

this doesn't look like a guilder place... it's odd.

Looks like it may be structurally part of the origional ruins... this is good as chances are the further away we can get from the Guilder base the farther away we are from those hunter bots.

Let's try and find some kind of drainage, or subway access, also be on the lookout for ways to impede bot progress after us.

Also, one proper utility torch lens order is B (burst), A (whirlygig) and C (triangles-squares) ordered away from the user.

Great. It beats something that blows up in your hands.

If you can get back up that lower ledge, drop down and study the door. Maybe kick the dead guilder at it.

I imagine this could be what they were using the mining acid to uncover. Is the door functional or does more acid need to be applied to free up the panels?

Tell that Guilder to stand down or face execution, that we don't 'need' to kill him becasue we ALL have the larger problem of GTFO before the killbots start pinging our asses with astrani beam weapons.

A shot from the Shrapnel gun may serve to punctuate our meaning.

>>357450
That's no door, that's a TBM!
Look around the perimeter of the cutting face, there should be a small opening just large enough to squeeze through. If there are several, pick the uppermost or lowermost, as those are more likely to be the egress positions. Inside, you'll probably have to contort a bit around the cutting face mechanism, to reach the motive and conveyor section. Past this will be an indeterminate length of tunnel, with an exit at the other end. TMBs are unwieldy, have to be lowered in at one end, and literally cannot move without forming a tunnel behind themselves. That's your ticket out of here, especially if you can rotate the cutting head to block access for the killbots.

the instant the alien makes contact, a panel slides open

the Guilder falls back stunned

Lar: "augh the light IT BURNS!"

Domonic and rose feel only a pleasant warmth emanating from the brilliance.

>>357694
Enter yonder portal.

Damn, we could really use some cloths for Lars, or at least a blindfold or goggles or something. I hope it's just the his albinism and not an actual reaction with all the chemicals he probably has flowing around in him.

Yes this will save Lars eyesight and make him 20% cooler in the process.

Domonic takes the guilders goggles and gives them to Lar

Lar: "thank you Domonic it's good to be able to see again, though I fear these will do little to to protect my flesh from the searing rays."
"perhaps it would be best if I remain here."

. . .

Dom: "I thought you didn't like using Guilder stuff?"

Lar: " that may be, but I like having my eyeballs burnt out a whole lot less."

dom, enter the door.
rose: if he doesn't die then follow.

>>357756

Bid Lar farewell, and advance through the portal.

>>357756
We'll have to find some clothes somewhere in there, I guess.

Dom and Rose, advance. Lar can stay behind and watch the guilder.

>>357756
Strip the guilder.
Have Lar wear the guilder's gear.

>>357756
Damn it Lars, I don't really want to just leave him here, but I can't see a way to get him through that light.

The guilder clothing wouldn't even fit or cover him completely. Maybe if we hadn't burned the other one would could have used it's clothes.

Maybe if there's something akin a lightswitch in there?

>>357784
I'm not convinced a pitch black portal would be an improvement over a dazzlingly bright portal.

But, y'know, Lar's option here is stepping into the searing light of some long-lost garbage disposal machine stargate, or taking his chances with the poisionous land being covered by robots programmed to kill everyone. Cover what you can and man up, sissy.

>>357795

Yeah, use the guilder's clothes, your clothes, everyone's clothes. Get Lar as covered as possible. Being naked sucks, but it beats leaving a friend behind.

perhaps the light will cleanse him of the mutaty alienness

the guilder appears embarrassed and confused by the comment and then grumbles something unintelligible.

or more importantly how they should proceed . . .

Has that thing closed behind you? Because that'd probably be helpful, given murderbots.

Rose is drawn to cord and feels an almost irresistible urge to touch the alien object, in a way she feels it want's her to touch it . . .

Lar: "there's something not right about this place . . . we shouldn't be here."

Don't touch that fucking thing.

>>358479
Rose: Step the fuck back.
Dom: "I agree, but we shouldn't be here slightly less than we shouldn't be near furry killbots."

>>358479
At 'least' take the highly flammable/explosive container off your back before you plan to make contact with strange alien energies.

Rose isn't going to listen to suggestions now.
Domonic: pull her away from that thing. Don't look at it.
Lar: keep an eye on the guilder and be ready to run.

Rose takes off he flame pack, and reaches out to touch the "thing"

Dom: "Rose don't touch it!"

Rose: "why not? the door wasn't dangerous, why should this thing be? anyways it's blocking our path."

Dom: "let's have the Guilder touch all the dangerous Alien shit, it's safer that way."

the Guilder scowls at Domonic.

Rose: "you said yourself that this is alien, so how the heck do you even know what's safer? sounds more to me like you're just a coward Domonic."

>>358572
Cowards live longer. Guilder.

Isn't the sudden urge to touch it suspicious in itself?

Do not touch the damn thing. Make the guilder do it. May as well get some use out of it before we shoot it.

What if it gives us AWESOME SUPERPOWERS? TOUCH IIIIT

Its not like we have a ton of options. Go ahead and poke it. You might just survive.

>>358572
"Bullshiiit, this ain't you Rose. You were never someone to have something to prove! You have always been badass and remember touching weird alien shit in Solar movies never EVER works out good. Especially when there's a beckoning call. I would've touched it if it didn't want me to touch it, probably because it is in our way, but now NOPE, Dom is too smart for multidimensional siren demon tricks. Rose, I mean come on, a beautiful male siren incubus thing beckons you, and I mean this dude is totally fucking hot and wants to share his feelings with but in a masculine, not annoying manner. And he sings a damn fine Frank Sinatra song to boot. Do you approach? No, you don't motherfucker he wants your soul for a good shag."

Its simply more likely to react 'positively' to a guilder anyway. I mean, they did build this place right?

Even if it is a 'good' thing for a guilder, I mean who knows what it could do to a human. But hey, if you want to end some kind of mutant space monster it's your call, just remember I wont enjoy trying to put you down.

>>358572

"The door worked for this guilder, when it didn't work for any of the others. Maybe she's got some affinity for whatever this place is. She should touch it first, it's probably safer for her than us."

Let's not trust dangerous alien shit, Rose. It's got 'alien' in the name for a reason. Besides, this feels sketchy.

Domonic goes on a long rant about the hundreds of things that could go wrong with touch aliens things.

Rose: "Fine, fine, have it your way."

Dom: "Guilder go touch the alien thing"

the Guilder walks up to the glowing cord, and touches it

Guilder: "EEAAAAH!"

gold flames burst into being, lightly toasting the Guilder and then disappear

. . .

Rose: "well now what do we do now?"

look for a way around it. if you get around it then if the kill bots show up and shoot it, it will probably destroy them in rage.

>>358621
Treat the guilder's injuries, then find a way around.

>>358621

The safest thing to do is to close the door and wait. The killbots will eventually sweep the place and leave. If it takes a day or two it's not a big deal.

>>358626
I approve of boring and sensible plans.

>>358626

Do we have enough food and supplies to wait out a sweep?

It might only be reacting to the guilder. If they have stuff only they can use, then it makes sense for something to work the opposite way, right?

Just a light touch. That's all. It only lightly hurt the guilder, and she reacted more strongly to the same tech/radiation before, so you'll be affected less.

Go on.

Do it.

>>358621
Lightly toasting? You could try touching it too, just to see if it provokes the same reaction, but prepared for the flames. Alternatively, we can have someone boost the others over so you don't touch it. Lar is probably strong enough for that.

Rose: "so what do you think these big sphere things are?"

Dom: "hell should I know, more alien stuff, probably best we don't touch these either"

eject a bullet out of your gun and throw it at one of the orbs. and if nothing happens throw it at the cable.

the Statues?
the pool?
the tree?
something else?
or nothing? (return to the main road)

There are legends about this place? Do tell, of importance would be any that would talk about 'why' a goddess of life is the template for a bunch of giant war-machines (presuming she's one of those conveniently named types of deities and not like mayan corn gods who also happen to enjoy walking around in human skins.)

the unlikely comrades approach the tower like structure.

at it's base they find a gate.

Rose: "that gate looks almost Solar in design, I wonder if that could be more than coincidence . . . "

Dom: "you heard Lar earlier, Solars didn't build this place. hell we couldn't have, this whole complex was buried under ruins ten years before we even made it to the sector."

Rose: "you think this goddess might have actually been a Solar?"

Dom: "what I think is that you aren't listening to a word I'm saying."

rose: prance through the gate

Could it be some heretofor-unknown aliens that are secretly working with the Solars somehow? The coincidence is just too much. ALSO WE MUST INVESTIGATE THIS NOW.

poke a thing through the gate, see if it remains intact.

Does anyone have a stick they could use to make sure that portal is legit?

I kinda agree with the stick option. Let's take things as slow and carefully as we can.

Domonic picks up a nearby stick and tests it on the glowing service, the stick is unaffected by the process.

Dom: "It's not a gate."

Lar: "it isn't?"

Dom: "no It's just a light projection made to look like one, seems like there's still a passage on the other side though."

"Fucking prophecies. Why'd ya go and drag us into this shit?"

Dom: Go swim in the not-water. SCIENCE!

everyone through the glowing door

Investigate passage.

Btw guys, how are your hunger levels? Injuries, that sort of thing. May as well take the time to see how we're doing.
