| First time I lay a path of mines while the bitch lumbers at me. She glides over four active frags and her health barely moves. I take more damage trodding on a lego. "Shields are holding," says Worf. I back up until her lumbering gate overtakes me, sputtering "a-buh a-buh" at the monitor like it was the professor calling on me after I just woke up. Up goes the arm, and down goes me health. I am one-shot. She punched out all of my blood.
Fuck. Ok, this is manageable. It's finally time to drag out the power armor. Shit's been rusting in Sanctuary since I first rescued the Minutemen. I grab all four of my bottlecap mines. Things will be different this time. And they were, because, with power armor on, I managed to last all of 1.5 seconds. Oh, she shoots acid geysers. I was standing in it. Fine. Try three has me employing standard giant fighting rules by ducking inside a too-small doorway so I can run from the acid gobs and not get pulped by melee. WHO PUT THESE MIRELURK EGGS HERE. Meanwhile, queen whore over yonder has been shitting out clutches of broodlings that have detonated my mine path before she strolled over and are now biting my ankles. This is in addition to the other eggs and mirelurks I've tripped on while running from the acid gobs. I Benny Hill around the interior trying to space myself for the shooting, triggering more eggs to pop. I finally deal with all that shit, run back to doorway to hit the boss, then get melted by acid. Fine. Lunchbox IEDs will be scattered towards the spawn area so the broodlings don't pop them. Frags on the way over to hopefully knock off the broodlings in clumps. I will buff this time. Med-X, max health, etc. The pip boy status indicator doll is waggling its tongue, eyes, because I am high on morphine. Nice touch! I am proactively dodging the acid, I am stomping broodlings like I am wearing crampons in a room full of puppies. I'm doing the work. I'm not a slacker. It finally pays off. Krusty Krab collapses in a heap right in front of the doorway I was hiding in. Thank god, because I was getting ready to sacrifice the power armor by leaving it in front of her unoccupied, then bullseyeing the power core to make it go nuclear. I don't even know if that works on your own armor, but it does on enemies, so, maybe. This probably wasn't a level 17 quest, even with all the NPC help. -/ES/- |
