(UPDATED) GFF - Watch Brothers vs Havoc Disciples (AI)

Round 1

The AI won the roll-off and sent the Plague Walkers and Havoc Brothers heading to the objective. Alpha moved up to claim an objective of his own and tried to gun down the walkers with some special ammo to counteract the cover, but they regenerated the damage.


Pi had better luck, torching two of them and causing enough damage to stun the remaining walker. 


In response, the Havoc Disciples advanced and fired. The Plague Brother's plasma rifle caused a wound to Alpha and the plague spewer stunned Pi. The tight confines allowed Gamma to charge the Plague Brother occupying the objective. However, his sword failed to do any damage whereas the energized punch in response opened up cracks in his destroyer armor, causing a wound.


At the end of round 1, the Watch Brothers had seized one objective, while the Havoc Disciples had only managed to contest one.

Round 2
Watch Brothers won the initiative and the first thing I did was un-stun Pi. He was promptly re-stunned by the Plague Brother with the plague sprayer. Alpha poured more fire at the enemy, opting for explosive rounds, but sadly failed to do damage.


Lathok emerged from cover and charged into combat with Alpha, but their blows did not penetrate each others' armor.


At the other end of the battlefield, Gamma continued his duel with the Plague Brother, matching his energized blade against the enemy's unwieldy fist. No clear victor emerged and the Destroyer gritted his teeth and pressed his attack.


At the end of the round, both sides had claimed one objective, with the Plague Walkers being unstunned. The other objectives were  contested by fierce melee combat.

Round 3
The Havoc Disciples got the initiative and pressed their attack. Lathok the Traitor continued to work his poisoned blade and overcame Alpha's defenses, causing two wounds and stunning him. Reeling from the unexpected fury of his foe's attack, he was caught by surprise as the last Plague Walker charged in and took him out of action.

Gamma's initial attacks were no more effective than before, and his opponent caused another wound. However, later, when his opponent continued to flail, his own desperate return strike penetrated the enemy armor and stunned him. The only other actions by the Watch Brothers was Pi shaking off his stun, only to see his squad leader lying at Target Three's feet.

The Havoc Disciples had two objectives to the Watch Brothers' one. Things were looking grim.

Round 4
In the final round, the Watch Brothers won initiative.

True to his word, Pi advanced into cover and turned his heavy flamethrower on Lathok. With 6 attack dice, he caused enough damage that the Plague Lord's regeneration didn't stop and, finally, he was brought low and out of action.


Pi's triumph was short-lived, however, as the Plague Brother with the plague sprayer continued to punish him from afar, causing a poisoned hit and taking him out of action.


Nearby, Gamma finally scored a decisive, rending hit against the Plague Brother that had vexed him for the entire engagement. However, as he looked up from the disemboweled mess, he realized that he was the only Watch Brother left standing.


Final
Watch Brothers 1 - Havoc Disciples 2

Gamma's energized blade hissed and sizzled as poisoned blood evaporated from its edge. His foot crunched down on the twitching form of the traitorous Havoc-worshipper's head. It was a struggle not to grind down with his powered boot.

Mastering his wrath, he glanced at the status display for the rest of his squad. Both of his teammates were down, their names highlighted in blood red. He glanced back quickly and gritted his teeth in controlled anger at the sight there.

A mass of greenish, necrotic flesh and sizzling armor was all that remained of Pi. Every inch of him was a diseased mess. Even the formerly-volatile fuel of his flamer leaked out as an impotent slurry.

He rushed over to where he had last seen Alpha, finding the squad leader barely clinging to life. He forced down a shameful thought that briefly wished that it were the more jovial and agreeable Pi that had survived, vowing to do some personal penance later. After he survived. Quickly, he retrieved an emergency teleportation homer from his suit and mounted it on Alpha's battered armor.

"Operatve Gamma," he growled into his armor's communicator, "Objectives incomplete. Casualties unacceptable. Activate emergency teleport."

The static hiss of ionizing air that accompanied a teleportation began to build. They had failed to hold the catacombs, but Lathok the Traitor was dead.

It would have to do.
