17- In Which Uppances Come

Dane: [Thug 3] "Arrrgh! Die!"
Joe: [OOC] Riveting character development from Thug 3 everyone.
Dane: [GM] The thug lunges forward, brandishing a large knife. He swings it at Bailey.
Kyle: [Bailey Hunt] Bailey kicks backward to evade!
[Dane] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS. 
Dane: [GM] The knife swing misses Bailey, but clips a bit of his jacket.
Kyle: [Bailey Hunt] Yer gonna pay fer that!
Dane: [GM] And now, proving that all good things come to an end, Joe gets a turn. I suppose you'll be getting up for your action?   
Joe: [OOC] Critical Steam Vent.
Dane: [GM] You wouldn't.
Joe: [OOC] I would.
Ian: [OOC] I've got like... no hp left!
Soo: [OOC] My Joe-sense are tingling. Explain?
Dane: [GM] Critical Steam Vent is supposed to be mostly for NPC steam-mechs. Its an action that causes the mech to discharge all of it's steam, causing substantial damage to itself and to the area around it.
Kyle: [OOC] An area we currently occupy.
Joe: [OOC] As well as two gooey delicious sacks of XP named 'thug'. This doesn't require me to be standing. Heck, I could be just a torso and do it.
Dane: [GM] Sigh... a roll for each target in the area. 2 thugs, Kali, Mari, Bailey. So five rolls. You're damage is automatic.
[Joe] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS.
[Joe] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS. 
[Joe] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS. 
[Joe] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS. 
[Joe] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS.     
Soo: [Kali dVostog] Kali realizes what's going on and tries to dive out of the way towards Mari, hoping to at least cover her friend if she can't get away.
Joe: [GR-210] All good things must come to an end. Unfortunately for the incompetant fools around GR-210, all bad things do too. With virtually no fanfare, the robot explodes from every vent and armor layer in a blast of scalding steam.
Dane: [GM] The blast of steaming heat knocks everyone away from the robot and scalds them with horrifically super-heated water. Everyone is also knocked prone.
Kyle: [OOC] Joe always did aspire to bring us all down to his level.
[Thug 3] TAKES 31 DAMAGE FROM [Critical Steam Vent] USED BY [GR-210]
[Mari Shasho] TAKES 23 DAMAGE FROM [Critical Steam Vent] USED BY [GR-210]
[Mari Shasho] IS DEFEATED
[Kali dVostog] TAKES 18 DAMAGE FROM [Critical Steam Vent] USED BY [GR-210]
[Bailey Hunt] TAKES 31 DAMAGE FROM [Critical Steam Vent] USED BY [GR-210]
[Thug 2] TAKES 29 DAMAGE FROM [Critical Steam Vent] USED BY [GR-210]
[GR-210] TAKES 36 DAMAGE FROM [Critical Steam Vent] USED BY [GR-210]    
Dane: [GM] Um.. ouch.
Joe: [OOC] HAHAHA. And I'm not even dead.
Kyle: [OOC] Oh that is bullshit.
Dane: [GM] The two thugs who survived the previous attacks are dead. Everyone's clothing is severely damaged and Mari is basically a wrecked pile.
Ian: [OOC] Mari has a severe concussion and a massive collection of major burns. Can someone at least roll my unconscious body into the snow or something.
Dane: [GM] Fairly sure that any nearby snow is now a slurry of mud and super-heated water Ian.
Joe: [OOC] I'll take my XP now. Now that combat is over, I'll just get up as a free action.
Dane: [GM] No. No you won't.
Joe: [OOC] Why the hell not.
Dane: [GM] I'm invoking the massive damage, extra effect law. You sustained at well beyond 2/3ds of you're total hp in a single attack from an explosive source INSIDE OF YOU.
Joe: [OOC] Pff, that rule is just to make killing mooks with bombs more funny.
[Dane] ROLLS. [GM] RECEIVES RESULTS.
Soo: [OOC] What are you doing?
Dane: [GM] I'm rolling to see what parts of GR-210 are exploded with him.
Dane: [GM] Oh dear god...
Joe: [OOC] What?!
Dane: [GM] GR-210s body is completely obliterated. The only element left is his (fully functional) head.
Kyle: [OOC] I hear angels. I hear the song of the celestial chorus!
Ian: [OOC] I think they might be hear for Mari. First aid please. Joe will still be amusingly injured next round.
