...because being the world-devouring monster bantering with the Obvious RPG/Anime Protagonist and still taking the moral high ground is awesome.
Not sure what to do as far as the fight's concerned. As first guess pick, I'd be inclined to fade back into the jungle, but I could be convinced of other options.

Logic:
We act on Tick 2, Entourage acts on Tick 3, Janaka on Tick 7. We can take a speed 4 action now to limit the incoming damage further by crushing one of the last distractions while still getting to act before Janaka, *then* on the next turn take out the Particle Lance while it's still on cooldown or something else.

Respond to Janaka

Ravana grins his cockiest grin, flashing slightly-too-long-too-pointy teeth. "Oh, that's great," he says, radiating easy arrogance. "The man who tries to march an entire damn army into a civilian hab offers me the chance to surrender just because I've trashed his advance columns. Bet you wouldn't have offered the same to someone who couldn't fight back."
He leans forwards.
"I'll make you an offer," he says, letting the pretty-boy get a proper look of his face. "Your army's trying your best to kill me even if you're not succeeding, despite the fact I'm giving your men a chance to eject. Now I'm offering the same to you. Punch out. Or I will wreck your face. No one touches these people."
Battle Plan?

Punch it right in the capacitor banks. All that energy stored there would look a lot better if it blew up, possibly taking off one of his hands with it. And even if his particle lance doesn't melt down from RAVANA PUNCH, trashing it so he can't shoot us again is a pretty good idea because that thing is nasty.

Speed 4 means we can act twice before he gets to attack, so I'm of a view that it's better to take out one of the two remaining entourage mechs before they can attack again, which they'll do next tick. Plus, if we take out his entourage, we get a proper one-on-one.

Taking out the entourage is tempting, yes, but so far none of the mechs have been able to inconvenience us. Granted, part of that is because we've neutralised many of them before they had a chance, but even so I'm inclined to view the ARJUN as a greater threat than the two remaining crippled mechs.
Given that, the best option I can see is to burn down as much of the ARJUN's offensive capabilities as we can before it can take another swing at us. We knock out the particle lance now, we can hit the ARJUN again next action to cripple it further.

I've been convinced. Also, @Havocfett, did you miss my stunt? Was it too late?

Combination of too late, me not seeing it till the update was seventy percent complete, and me having issues fitting all three stunts into an honestly incredibly short update.

Can we get the bonuses anyway? Please?

That's remarkably wasteful. We don't actually need to hit the particle lance for two more actions.
If you actually seriously just want to ignore the trash for whatever reason, then hitting the sword arm immediately makes the most sense.

More to the point, you've reminded me that scratching our lovely new artifact mech would be terribly wasteful.
How do we bite the cockpit open without touching the rest?

Apologies, I was unclear; that's essentially what I mean. We hit the particle lance now, next turn we can cripple more of the ARJUN's armaments. I've edited my previous post to clarify.

1.1x Weighting, by the way.
You can retroactively add the dice, but you only get one mote reward per Action and you already got your Surprise Action Mote Reward. It's a 2 die stunt for that, if you want to roll it.

I got a six and a two, and still don't know how to post them.

Well you'd have to bite through the pure Jade armor slope on the torso, then bite through the also mostly jade armor in the chassis, then bite the armored cockpit itself open, all while a Dragonblood with a variety of heavy weapons systems in an eighteen meter warmech that handles as well as your mech does tries to kill you.
tl;dr, catastrophic damage to the Torso section or an elongated Clinch with the torso section.
Should be a button on the left of the roll itself. Click it, it'll bring up an image, post the image.

Couldn't we just go through the head? Also, the image loads as text for me, and the button symbol is broken.

Cockpit's in the center of the chest, like yours, so not really.
Huh, weird. Not sure what's up with that. I'll check the rolz room when I get home.

This is what I was going to vote for anyhow, now with better dialog than I'd have done.
