Story Time 2: The Garage Door Incident/Hi Five a dude through a wall

Another story of Tabletop shenanigans:

I’m currently playing in a game using a modified Mecha D20 system run by a dude we’ll continue to call E. In the first session of said game, our party decides to go for being a Power Armor focused mercenary crew. I choose the job of Vehicle Pilot (with plans of being airdrop/air support). It was not my best plan (though it got better later on). On our first mission, I got stuck with an ATV, essentially an armored Mongoose with a weak energy shield. To give myself some offensive capability, I got a machine gun attached to it.

In our first mission, we were tasked with retrieving some intelligence from some drug dealers country estate. While the Powah Armur squad goes and sneaks up on the houses poorly-armed guards, I sit a couple hundred meters down the driveway where my engine won’t be heard. They kill a few dudes quietly by jumping them from beneath a cliff, but since they don’t have suppressed guns pretty quickly they’re in a firefight.

After a couple rounds of gunfire, I arrive, screaming down the path on an ATV, power slide into one of the poorly-armed guards going 60mph, and splatter him on the wall of a house. We clean up the guards outside the house (I take out one or two with the MG) then the Powah Armur squad breaches the house.

One of our party members, J2 (of the J brothers) is playing a melee specialist mercenary (Callsign: Fisto). Melee, in this system, is brutal. Because a melee attacker can add their strength modifier to damage, and there are many ways to increase strength, melee can do far more damage than guns, especially at level 1. Needless to say, in the close quarters enviorment of the house, Fisto makes quick work of some poorly-armed guards.

Sooner or later, very few of the poor bastards are left. While these guards are poorly-armed, the Powah Armur squad’s piddling starter guns need to score several hits to kill them through their armor. Fisto has no such trouble. Unfortunately [Fortunately], there is a wall between the poor bastard and Fisto, sparing his life for the moment. Fortunately [Unfortunately], J1, (of the J brothers) has a brilliant plan. He wants to throw said dude through the wall to be terminated.

E. says, “Okay, you make an overrun combat maneuver to push him through the wall. What’s your CMB?” (borrowing the CMB/CMD system from Pathfinder).

Some math occurs and a couple dice get rolled. Actions are coordinated. The poorly-armed guard gets flung through some drywall and gets Hi-fived in the face by a natural 20 between two suits of power armor, with the remainder of the poorly-armed guards watching. Our mercenary company leaves a bit of a mess.

“YEAAAH!!!!!”

Meanwhile, I’m bored, stuck outside the house on my ATV. Fortunately [Unfortunately], I have a brilliant plan. I’m going to power slide my way through the garage door for absolutely no tactical purpose. So I back up, and floor it at the door.

While I’m doing this, W. says: “I open the garage door.”

With no garage door to act as breaks when I punch through it, I careen into the open garage, crumple the bodywork of the shitty SUV inside, and nearly kill myself.

W., you’re a dick.
