A d2? What is causing that modifier? Something to do with cover?
The d2 is the Virid Viper's bullet-resistant jacket.

A hit, some damage, but the turret's still active.

Just waiting for Doze to act now then I'll write up the narrative.

Good to know!

Yes to Boris getting in on the action, 10+3 = 13 on the roll.
Roll me a d12-d2, Doze! Then, roll me another d20+3 (the laser-turret on Boris has autofire)

Incidentally, I missed that the first damage roll was -d2, so I've just rolled that and instead of 7 it should have been 6.

Great. Here's what happens this turn...

+ + +

Sen leans around the door and fires his grenade into the warehouse.

BOOM!

Crates are splintered in the ensuing explosion and Zen and Sola hear the cries of dismay and pain as two of the Vipers are hit with shrapnel.

Zola leans around the doorway just afterward and fires his revolver - BANG! - putting a hole into one of the Viper goons.

Meanwhile, Doze, sitting comfortably inside the taxi, remotely pilots Boris across the street and into the door.

PEW! PEW! PEW!

Boris' laser turret targets two of the Vipers and cuts them down with his rapid-fire laser cannon.

Two Vipers remain!

These two will retreat into better cover and fire at the punks at the doorway.

+ + +

Zen and Sola: each of you test Agility to avoid being hit with buckshot! Each of you please test TWICE this round because I forgot to make you roll twice last around (there were four shots fired but I only made you test once each).

+ + +

Meanwhile, up on the warehouse roof, Volley throws his second ePulse grenade at the turret. The grenade hits and explodes, but it only does minimal damage to the turret. The turret is badly damaged and smoking, yet still operational!

+ + +

Volley: test Agility again to avoid being shot with autocannons!
