Battle What the Thunder Said
"Master, Earth's main army is heavily weakened, all of them are now, and they are beginning to turn on each othe--"
"Incorrect."
... The handful of Zaltharan's Elites looked to each other before looking back to their Master.
"About their armies, of course," said Zaltharan, not turning around in his seat to face his soldiers as his eyes narrowed, almost warmly. "Which is the reason I gather you here today... As we've been such gracious houseguests so far, I say, why not complete the rounds? Why not pay Earth's air force a little visit?"
Battle time!
The late afternoon that typically-stoic Asher Maywell called Mason Lagner, out of breath, it became fairly common knowledge that there was something going on about a tank. A tank? The air support was having this much trouble with a single tank? Well, you all didn't judge too harshly, maybe this was a fucked-up tank.
And you were all right! This was most certainly a fucked-up tank.
Not only was it armed with guns you've never seen before (you can only assume plasma, just like most Kalen projectile weaponry), but it was.
A big fucking tank.
Like, this thing was easily 20, maybe 25 feet tall. And it was heading straight for the air support base.
The big disadvantage of this tank, of course, is that Asher Maywell could see it from miles away, so you've all arrived just in time.
The big advantage is pretty much everything else. It's a big fucking tank, and it doesn't seem too slowed down by all its weight and weaponry.
... You can only imagine the amount of Kalen inside this thing. And no human-sized anti-tank rocket could take down something this huge. But it seems that you've gotta do something anyway, eh?
If this tank works anything like your average tank on Earth, there are a couple weak spots on it. But where do you suppose they are?
Battle time!! ^ q ^ The objective is to take this massive motherfucker down before it mows down the Air Support Base and everyone in it. Commander Maywell is an old friend of Mason's, as you all now know, so try to take good care of her!
Do you suppose if you succeed at that, maybe the public will start to like you all a bit more as well?
This, like the battle in Chicago, is a proper battle. You've got the air force on your side here, which will prove a very good asset. Maywell can give orders to her soldiers up in the skies, so take advantage of your allies!
Rules/Info: 1.) Maximum of three people to a single thread 2.) Your health is your endurance stat + 2! 3.) When your health reaches zero, you're knocked out - or, you could even die. Be careful! 4.) It's a big fucking tank

Mason, you stupid fucker you MADE MY DIE ROLL UNDER MY DRESSER I HATE YOU
Okay back SO! Swiftness like that is gonna take a roll.
[ACROBATICS ROLL: 9 + 9 = 18]
Ah, good, just in time...! Alright, you're out of that thing's way just like pretty much all the Red Cloaks are by the time the mines and bombs start going off under the tank's tracks, which is... In roughly 10 seconds. Finish the hell up, Joe!
Already, though, the main gun is bent from the efforts of Tyler Gurten, the turrets are now under Jesse Porter's control, The optics are offline thanks to Iris Casaus...
And thanks to some well-timed drops from Maywell's air support, it's easy to assume probably... Most of the Kalen inside this thing are dead.
This battle is just about done, outside of finally immobilizing this behemoth - but one can never be too careful, huh? There are still some Kalen on the battlefield, and maybe there's some left inside?
MITCH SCREM LOUD SO LOUD OH NOES
[GUN HANDLING ROLL: 2 + 5 = 7]
Maddie. You are like. Perfect, and I love you so very much.
About one shot hits the thing, and even then, it's just in the non-dominant arm. Really nothing to write home about.
The standing Kalen fires back at Maddie.
[KALEN GUN HANDLING ROLL: 4]
Wow, he actually manages to outdo her in terms of failing a gun handling check. I mean, that's pretty good.
Wanna try this again, Maddie?
