"Okay, so... Our bat type, Echo, got shot by one of MRM's TCPs. She's sheltering in PKL's base right now. So we're looking to form an alliance to put down MRM; they've hurt one of our TCPs and are likely looking to hurt more cats. We've got PKL's assistance as well as some kobold buddies right now. We haven't spoken with CRC yet.
The only things we know about MRM's TCP are: they are green wearing camouflage, they can create an obscuring bubble, and they have a ranged weapon. We need to figure out where MRM's base is, what their TCP is, and what kind of stuff they've been working on.
Specific details Echo's injuries are a shot wing/fluid loss and water mixing, currently being treated. TCP in question appears to be a weapon type, likely some sort of long range beam cannon or rifle. It is green and has some sort of armor which interferes with interaction and vision by players in the vicinity. Capable of tracking a wounded TCP. There is also an unaccounted for flying fauna, which was likely also made by MRM which is purple and has batlike wings.
We've also got a security camera system at our base as well as a set of train tracks centered on us. We also left a golem a bit further behind, it couldn't fit through the cave opening. And we created mole people... somewhere. Haven't run into them yet."
"...hm.
Understood. MRM is not to be toyed with, so we're going to have to think strategically here. Clemont is physically pretty strong and bulky, but his pitchfork isn't going to do much against a ranged weapon, let alone a beam cannon."
They pause.
"Could be railgun, or plasma rifle. Both are pretty nasty, and can blow through TCPs cleanly and efficently. Only real drawback to them is the nasty health cost for firing. Our best shots at taking something like that out are disabling or removing the weapon itself, making it use so many shots that its health drains out.
I'm going to make Clemont a shield that can absorb blasts, probably at the cost of health- a gradual drain if possible, versus damage chunks. Doing that will allow us to make this TCP waste shots while still giving the impression of doing damage, without any actual wounds. MRM isn't stupid, so she'll very likely catch on quick- but she's headstrong, and might go for it anyway. She doesn't care about the livelihood of her TCPs at all in my experience, so it's decent bait.
...however, I have no idea what to do about your ...sticker type? Logically, you wouldn't risk him being in a fight at all. He'd get killed on sight."
"I'll... figure something out, I guess. For right now at least, he's my only option for getting Echo home safe, and he seems willing to help.
...it's a puffy sticker type, by the way."
"Puffy sticker. My bad."
They sound legitimately apologetic, but it quickly fades.
"If you're going to insist on putting a defenseless TCP in danger, you're going to want to consider a strategy that doesn't involve direct violence. Your priority is getting Echo home safe, so...maybe Clemont could keep the MRM's TCP busy while your TCP makes a break for it and tries to bring Echo home-"
They pause again, sounding somewhat flustered this time.
"...sorry, I really should have asked for puffy sticker type's name. I'm usually better about that."
"It's Hank, but don't worry about it!"
"I mean... I wouldn't say I'm insisting on it, it's just that they're my only other TCP and I'm not sure I can wait until Echo's well enough to make the trip herself. I agree with you about Hank being in a fight, which is why I'm trying to gather as much help as I can. I think it would be best if Pick-uh, PKL made Echo a gurney or something that Hank could push, while Ihu and Clemont escort him. MRM's TCP took quite a few shots at Echo already, so hopefully it'll still be resting, but... I don't know. We'll figure it out."
"If we can get a cover on that gurney that can potentially shield blasts, even better. Not sure of a material that could do that, though... How much would you say MRM knows about your strategy? ...what is your strategy?"
Clemont starts to walk and talk, clearly heading back for his base, with Hank and Ihu following along. Him and Hank are still talking about the dinos. You're tuning it out for now, but it might be good to go back and look at later.
