There are other places to clear, mind. We don't know what's up those places yet. Hopefully someone manages to capture one without it destroying itself, since it's part of the objectives and those grant XP. Fighting encounters don't grant XP but in this case clearing the place is one. :)
Getting the stuff ARCAS (if that's really their name) came to find is probably an objective as well.

If Kuro tells me whether he'll have Hugo take care of the black market trader for the goods or not, I'll get my post in without waiting further since I only want to make sure something is done to address that issue.
If he doesn't Mao'll handle it with Maia and it won't exactly be to the black market trader's advantage.

I've been meaning to ask, would that imply that he was among the first wave of pioneers on Ragol... the one that got wiped out? If so he's actually a survivor of the incident.
Or maybe he was among the first wave and was reported to have left it before the incident.

Right. I'm actually a bit stumped on what exactly to do here, because I COULD try to blanket the area in enough BFC that they couldn't so much as scratch their balls, but so far I'm unsure how effective a tactic that would prove.

I would probably be riding in on Murakumo, though, so there's that...

Area A is where Mao started. Area A was cleared. Area A is where Katherine and Ammy showed up after Mao cleared it. Area A is where the NPC Anomander is talking about it located.

Area B is the current known fight. Area B has Mao's Dolls (But I believe not Mao as she is in Area A still?). Katherine & Ammy also just moved in to Area B and engaged the foes there. While the results of our actions haven't been verified by Os posting yet (because it is still our turn), it is incredibly likely that Area B is clear of hostiles after Katherine's & Ammy's assaults and Baha's breath weapon which blanketed most of Area B and no doubt cleaned up what was left.

Area A and B are the only areas we've got sight on and are with little doubt, clear. Massive BFC would only help if you moved ahead of us into the next area we detect combat from but do not have visuals on yet. It would also mean you get to solo the next Area for 1 turn.

Clarified for you yet, Kuro?

Bonus: because of how turns are resolved, the BFC can apply before the charge into B.

Yes but BFC doesn't do anything for dead enemies.....

As much of an assumption at their likely deaths is, I feel safe in making future decisions based on them already being dead right now  :P

Mao herself is indeed still in Area A.
As for Area B potentially being cleared this round... there was 3 pairs of warriors, a group of three marauders and one hidden marauder spawner.
Mao took out one pair of warriors, leaving 2. Kat landed a few hits with her counter on the hidden marauder.
Baham breaths a cone big enough in there to, perhaps, cover every enemy though she'd hit the drone and Kat as well. Perhaps also the drone scouts and the civilians at the end. Might possibly have forgotten to list his DC and turn cooldown before the next breath.
Kat then fullattacks the hiding marauder.
Ama runs around full attacking up to two groups of hostiles, perhaps finishing the hidden marauder and then fighting one of the two remaining pairs of warriors or going straight to one group of warriors, probably taking them out (her attacks should also ignore their miss chances thanks to Way of the Sword).

So there is probably at least one pair of warriors left.
Mao could use her turn to grapple what remains so they could perhaps be captured. Hoping they have to actually be be taken out to self destruct. Doubt it though.

I thought I read your Dolls killing all of the groups, then the hidden guy made a new group.

Gosh, we all have very different ideas of what is even happening this is a messed up fight.

The drones took out a group of three marauders that got respawned by the one hidden. They got taken out again and got respawned again.

If nobody objects, I think I'll pick up the smugglers instead.

They are, after all, why we were looking at the Black Market in the first place.

So, how will Hugo pick up the smugglers? Need that to update the turn.

Well, here's the thing. I can only grapple one person at a time with telekinesis, and that's using a standard action.

I don't know if I can grapple with funnels. If I can, hey, great, Murakumo gets to handle the heavy lifting!

I have to wonder if mecha shouldn't have some sort of bonus to just grabbing people. xD

They do on grapple checks, it's called a size bonus. But not for the initial touch attack.

Funnels are designed for shooting/cutting. They could be used for disarm/sunder, but I don't see how they could be used for grabbing.

Did Hugo forget to prepare any tentacle spells today?

Also reminds me that I was thinking of adding energy consumption to channeling spells through mechas.

I could see funnels collectively forming an energy net to grapple or capture creatures.

Did you picture Guardians of the Galaxy after reading Ols's post like I did?

Now that you mention it gundam kinda did that, and since Hugo has all the funnel feats then I'll say ok to that.

I've upgraded the feat section to allow that.

Bump again.

Just in case Kuro missed it, Hugo can use the funnels to attempt to grapple the smugglers.
