The battle continued as the two forces closed the gap, the situation quickly turning into a close range fight - yet the speed with which both sides closed the gap meant that many shots were still missing. Ferocious exchanges of fire filled the air, multicolored flashes of light blinding and disorienting, missiles howling past on trails of smoke and flame.
Amid the chaos, the Battlemaster focused on the Ostsol, firing 6 SRMs, 2 lasers, and a PPC, and while most missed, the PPC caught a glancing blow to the arm (Glancing Hit LA, 5 damage). At the same time, the Blackjack attempted to split fire, but missed both volleys, and then the Wolverine pushing forward fired all it had at Yuri, and Yuri returned fire, the Wolverine's volley managing only a glancing autocannon hit to the Grand Dragon(Glancing hit CT, 2 damage), and the mangled Grand Dragon fired back, the medium laser spearing the Wolverine. (Hit CT, 5 damage)
At the same time, the Dragon and Firefly were exchanging fire, and while the ten LRM missiles impacted around him, an emerald beam slipping past, Bruun felt the autocannon shells shake his mech as they detonated across its leg (hit RL, 5 damage). The balancing adjustments he made threw off his own aim, meaning no shots landed.
South, the Crab pressed in close, taking fire from both Panthers and the vindicator, streams of energy blasting out to ravage the armor one PPC hitting its arm, another the leg. (Hit LA+CT, 10+10 damage, piloting roll to stand passed) Despite the beating, as the armor boiled off, Marik fired both large lasers and his medium, spiking his heat readouts and setting alerts blaring in his cockpit as a wave of heat washed over him. Still, one beam carved deeply into the Panther, melting off the left arm and slicing into the torso. (Hit LA, 8 damage, LA destroyed, 5 damage transfers to LT)
The other attacks south went wide, save another volley of LRMs from Blondie - which fell across the left of the second panther, shattering structure and actuators with chain detonations. (Hit LA+LL, 5+1 damage, critical hit hand+shoulder)
Once again, the enemy pressed forward, not slowing, guns blazing.
