I'm afraid of what a large laser or PPC amount of love is going to do to my back armor. If the Archer could handle heat better, I'd be up for charging in one direction or the other.
OK, I lied apparently, there will actually be quite a few 10+ shots.
Also, I think they just envy your mech's good looks.

Round 3 Fire (cue Sinatra)
(I reused the diagram from last round)
Everyone chose to improve on last round's shooting and while the exchange between the Dragon and Thunderbolt was a lackluster as before and the Stalker missed with both lasers, the Archer and Guillotine were not messing around. 21 missiles struck the Guillotine but this time he retaliated with deadly precision and hit the Archer right in theface cockpit, injuring it's pilot Deuce Traveler. Another shot to the cockpit will destroy it, unless it's a single stray LRM. Things are starting to look grim for the Archer.

From the Rulebook: Had Deuce Traveler failed his consciousness roll, everyone would have been able to make called shots against his immobile mech. Against any location but the head, they would have gotten a -4 modifier, against the head it's a +3 modifier. If they would succeed the to-hit roll the chance to hit the desired location would be at least 43% (additional roll, 6, 7 and 8 on 2D6 means you hit the desired location, for any other result you roll again on the hit location table).

Round 4 Movement (Southwards, ho!)
Finally we see some movement again as the Archer, Stalker and Dragon move southwards. The Stalker, being true to his name, keeping a steady eye on the Archer, and the Dragon trying to outflank the Thunderbolt. With his jump jets giving him a clear mobility advantage in the thick forest and the hopes to outmaneuver his opponent, the Thunderbolt closes in on the Dragon, their sensors showing their enemies only 150 meters away, yet hidden behind the trees. The Guillotine or "the turret", as his friends call him, rejoices as the Archer is now in range of all of his guns.

Round 4 Fire (more like gardening)
Impressive shooting there guys, 0 damage was dealt this round. You managed to make the uprooting of trees the most interesting thing that happened this round. To be honest, it is quite interesting as both mechs' tonnage is enough to finish their opponent with one hit, should they happen to hit the cockpit.
Here are the rolls:
Dragon DRG-1S-UK (tindrli) uproots a tree for use as a club.
Thunderbolt TDR-5SE (Azira) uproots a tree for use as a club.

Round 5 Movement (brawling in the brushes)
Eager to get into the fight the Dragon ran straight at the spot where his sensors picked up the Thunderbolt, when suddenly it appeared in the sky, landing a only few meters to the left. At the same time he noticed the Stalker's bright red paint through the trees. Will he focus on the Thunderbolt or go for maximum coolness - his PPC carrying right arm aiming at the Stalker and the left arm's medium laser aiming at the Thunderbolt - and shoot them both?
Meanwhile in the west, the Archer tried to escape his enemies' fire, focusing more on protection as he doesn't have the heat sinks to keep moving and firing like a madman. The Guillotine clearly favors another doctrine and avoids moving at all to steady his aim and only have to worry about the heat his guns generate. The Stalker slowly and steadily creeps closer towards his opponents and now has all his enemies in sight.
