Joking, Lionel is able to easily sidestep the raging mechanihog, firing the proton wand at it after the hog rushes past.

Mission 7:  BBQ for Lupper!
Ralph's Pink Flamingo
Nice Hog!
August 23, 2018, 3:06pm
Hot and Windy but smells like BBQ and exhaust?


Mac just manages to stay on his feet from the floor shaking due to the impact of the Cypork  Now his official name! :)  as he hits the ground and "revs up".  Mac feels his bones and teeth shaking, but remembers to keep his knees bent otherwise and stays in place.  He feels something come loose though... and in a moment of panic, he realizes what it is...

Rolling to see what you drop!  Good luck!
[1d10] = 6
1 - Proton Wand comes Loose.
2-5 - Trap
6-9 - Phone
10 - Pack

He sees his phone... that poor phone he has already dropped before back in the snakepit behind the church at the Mound Site, which was dropped by Jacob at least once before it was turned in.  But there is no time to pick it up as next, the Cypork squalls as does his legs in a blur of motion before he comes barreling down on the Ghostbusters from across the room in full speed!  Mac is able to get out of the way of what looks like could be certain death, just in time to see his phone smashed into a million tiny pieces before his eyes!

Joker and Roy also manage to stay on their feet and get out of the Cypork's way with not consequences beyond the effort they put into getting out of the way and are good to go the next round.

Lionel falls back once more to his college football training and easily stays on his feet with his usual stance, feet shoulder-width apart and bent, ready for action!  He also easily anticipates the charge from Cypork and sidesteps gracefully, lining himself up perfectly for the shot!  He gets a beam on Cypork as he turns his bulk around to look at them and squall loudly, once more kickstarting himself to prepare for another charge!  He barely seems to notice the beam other than being annoyed by it.

It is actually Jason who falls to the ground from the impact of the big potbellied pork-a-tron, but despite finding himself on the ground and still feeling some of the residual after-effects from the snake venom Seriously, if this would have been 1 day later, you would have been normal.  The dice are cruel. but despite the early setback, something instinctual kicks in and his new shot of adrenaline narrowly gets him out of the way, no worse for wear.

Wow! That was an interesting round!  I am allowing Lionel to take this shot because he rolled so ridiculously high on both the rolls for keeping his footing as well as dodging.  I felt like it justified squeezing in the extra motion of taking a shot since it was also successful.

Everyone else feel free to move as you need to in order to get a shot in.  I am trying to represent the big holes he made, so consider your line of fire either now or on the upcoming action of the ghost.  If you can get a shot now at a reasonable angle, it is a mod moves, but if you are going to try to set up a shot on the moving target you know is coming, make it a hard one, but consider as with regular firearms, you need to consider not just what you are aiming at, but what is behind it in case you miss!  

The Ghost Dice chuckles a little.

Roy if he can get a clear shot at the ghost pig will do so unless he will cross streams then he avoids and and reaches for the trap he grabbed instead.

Jason stumbles backward and tries to find his footing. Looking up he can see the Cypork after it barreled past.
Sooooo-ieeee, whoo pig Jason yells as he lets loose a proton stream.

Lionel holds his shot and calls for the others to do the same. He can REALLY feel the Cypork working against his beam, and it is obvious that it is only managing to tick him off. The good news is that Cypork doesn't seem able to kickstart himself again with the beam holding him and instead starts charging the old fashioned way in long lumbering strides as the 6 arms reach for him menacingly.

Luckily he is slow now, so you know you get this round to make something happen even though he will be on top of you at the beginning of the next round.

Mac and Jason each easily get a beam on Cypork, and he slows some more. They can really tell how strong he is as he still manages to push back against their wands and move towards them.

Joker tosses a trap directly in the ghost's path and it is ready to deploy!

Roy seems unsure what to do and delays a bit too long.

Those with a beam on Cypork are unsure if they will be able to drag him into the trap! Lionel hears the early alert for the auto shutoff begin to sound!

Roy fires the proton pack at the ghost just for good measure....

Lionel keeps the beam trained on the hog. We gotta get him in the trap quick, or these'll need to shut down and it'll be game over, man!
