Special Note: Clare is officially now Kaykakee

After we had Ironhound move closer to get better information on the combatants, He identified 5 Coalition IAR-2 Abolisher Robots leading 2 – 5 unit CS Skelebot squads.   Being hesitant to join the battle due to our squishiness and lack of comparative numbers to the fighting forces, A little discussion and we checked with Ironhound to see if he could jam all communications in the area.  At this point the Magic wielding forces were re-inforced with a NG variant of Triax TX1000, Iron hound confirmed he could, and did so.   We wanted to jam communications to cut the A.R.C.H.I.E controlled bots off from A.R.C.H.I.E.  This was both effective and caused 1 of the 5 unit squads to move towards our location. 

As we  and the squad moved towards each we engaged in a firefight, the skelebots initially shooting like stormtroopers, as we managed to do some minor damage as we moved into close combat.  Ironhound had transformed into his robot form to go hands on with the Skelebots.  The Skelebot unit was comprised of a mini – rocket launching, a plasma rifle and 3 laser rifle units. Tim continues to speedily shoot the bots, While Ted and I get into melee along with Ironhound, while Ryan vomited plasma on one of the bots.  Ted tries to disarm, the one with the plasma rifle, after dancing with bot while getting shot a couple time taking no damage from the plasma, the rocket bot, manages to hit me with a rocket, scorching him.  I then began ginsu- dancing with the bots.  I and Tim, worked on eliminating bots as Ironhound hulk smashed one into a pile of bent metal scrap. Ted after several failed attempts to grab the bots rifle the rest jointly encouraged him to learn how to used his boulder fingers later, and either punch or shoot the bots.  Ted managed to take several shots blasting rocky bits off him. Ryan tried to vomit on another of the bots but just managed to dry heave himself into a migrane, While Ironhound, I and Tim finished off the rest of the squad.

The fighting caught the attention of the Squads, master IAR-2 Abolisher, which sent it’s second squad to intercept us. We again moved up firing on the squad as they fired on us, This time with slightly better accuracy, a couple of us taking hits and scorching our armour.  I managed to snipe this squad’s Rocket unit’s head off, which didn’t actually stop the bot, but did cause it to fire in random directions thank fully away from us.  Once again we moved into melee, Ted once again trying to literally disarm a bot by attempting to rip it’s arm off, much to the rest of our dismay and heckling when his fingers just couldn’t hold on.  Another short dance and we cleaned up this batch with Ironhound smashing the headless bot.

The IAR-2 Abolisher was now in range that it started launching ordinance in our general direction, thankfully grossly overshooting us, as it moved closer Tim speedstered a winch cable around it’s legs to attempt a Empire Strikes Back AT-AT take down. While it didn’t take the massive walking mech down it did stop it in place for Ironhound to fastball special Ted at it to try and knock the mech over.  Ryan vomited at it, successfully Reganing the mech’s sensor tower allowing me to finish it off with my rifle.

Ted managed to actually grab ahold of the mech when he was fastballed into it and climbed to the top, and began smashing into its gunners hatch.  Ironhound caught up and managed topple the mech.  Once we breached the hatch, the mech began self-destructing to prevent capture.  We managed to get clear before it blew.

We quickly policed the area for usable items and scrap, before continuing to the main battle site, which had begun their own cleanup efforts.  We noticed a couple of old Hammer Slammer salvage frames working on the cleanup.

We also met with the pilot of the NG-TX1000, and explained what we were doing here, explained that we happened on the conflict, as we were headed to what we would find to be Bridgetown, to do some trade of information and goods, and also initiate trade between them/NG and Kaykakee Tribe/ Clare.  The pilot took us into town, showed us town hall, and The towns full service inn.  After a nights rest, we met with the town triumvirate council.  We setup the initial trade agreements to be finalized with the Kaykakee Tribe Elders.  After the trade agreements we head up to the cartographers office, and trade maps.  We now have detailed maps of the U.P.:  Northern Gun and Manistique Imperium with some notable additions from other dealings they have had with other communities.

After the public trade deals and information swaps, we went out about and found ourselves a merchant of other goods, Swapped a seed bundle for some credits, And restarted a streaming media business.  We offered up a digital collection of our top 50 movies, and TV series (First seasons only) from the 70’s and 80’s, for a percentage royalty of presently 500cr/month.  We’ll get them hooked and add more at a later time.
