The combined assault of the cyborg’s foes culminated in a violent blowout, the heroes immediately flung backward by the fallout of their formidable combo. For a long moment, naught was visible but a plume of smoke and flame, what remained of their foe obscured from view by a veil of airborne particulate. The combatants attempted to see through the haze as they climbed to their feet, straining their senses to make out any sign of their target. To their ire, it was not long before a familiar battlecry rang out.
”DE-LETE.”
From behind the mask of smog the Cyberman emerged, heavy footsteps slowly dragging the remains of its battered chassis along the concrete. The mechanized horror’s visage had been cleaved in twain by Desman’s desperate fling, violet flames erupting from the resultant cranial chasm. Comparable embers also spurted arbitrarily from an empty shoulder socket, the explosion having separated the automaton from its right arm. Now short one arm-cannon, the Cyberman continued its threatening mantra as it shambled toward the group, electrically charged fingers instead extended toward them like a motorized Frankenstein’s monster.
“I will not suffer this indignation any further!” Zedd snarled, boundless rage emboldening him to stride forward before the rest of his allies could take stock. He raised his chrome staff, sparks dancing along the surface of the jagged symbol of his namesake for an instant before discharging in an arc toward the Cyberman’s outstretched limb.
”De-” The cybernetic terror stood stock still as the attack came, scarcely able to choke out its own threat as the words became quieter and more distorted by the second.
“NOW, YOU FOOLS!” The group’s flayed commander snarled, maintaining his assault. He hoped that this time his allies could finish the job properly.
As if on cue the group raised their respective firearms and leveled them on the now immobilized machine, pelting it with various forms of gunfire. Their shots hit home, scoring direct damage to the cyberman’s power core. Just as Zedd let up on his Volt, panting and seething in equal amounts, the robotic assailant finally fell lifeless to the ground with a dull clang.

Quote:Encounter complete!
Everyone sustains an additional 1 point of damage from general scuffing and battle wear and tear.
Among the cyberman's remains, there is one dark chip to be found, lodged in what's left of its power core, for anyone who wants it to take it or destroy it.
Everyone has one post to make, to decide that and move on. This post may be up to 500 words. You have four days to make it. Happy hunting.
