I do have a fairly old system, and I think I disabled NoScript on Rolz. I know it's worked for others before and after, but it's never worked for me.

Alright, running with this.

Roll 22d10X7 to punch the shit out of gun.

Roll 14d10X7 to Social Janaka

Still accepting stunts on that punch.

Coincidentally, you now have a desirous intimacy towards punching out Janaka. So stunts related to that are treated as one rating higher.

Continue social combat?
[ ] Taunt him over his inferior piloting skills. (1.5X)
[ ] Berate him over endangering civilians (1.2X)
[ ] Taunt him over the quality of his troops. (1.2X)
[ ] Take a moment and scope him out. Understand your enemy. (.8X)
[ ] Cut comms. You've said what you need to, now is time for punching. (1.1X)
[ ] Stay silent, but keep the comms open.

Leaping forwards, Ravana deliberately skids in the marshy ground, throwing dirty water and rotting plant matter and mud all over the pretty clean armour of the enemy mech - and its optics, too. He turns the skid into a neat pirouette and brings his hand around in a roundhouse punch which slams right into the capacitor banks of the particle beam.

He always was good at fighting dirty.

"Please. No. Stop."​

Continue social combat?
[X] Taunt him over his inferior piloting skills. (1.5X)

"Looks like your House is on the way out, if you're the best they can offer," Ravana taunts. Oh, he's having fun. There's nothing quite like talking the shit out of a rich Dragonblood. He used to do it to Abhas, so he knows all the ways to hit him. "All your expensive schooling, and this's all you can manage? I hope they kept a receipt!"

He grins wider.

"Maybe they might've had better luck if they'd sent someone whose family tree wasn't a plank."

Ravana's grin gets impossibly wide, reaching from ear to ear. Holy crap, he's good. That whole family tree thing was a totally intentional and 100% brilliant reference to the fact the guy is a Wood Aspect, as well as a Dragonblooded incest joke. Gods, he's amazing. But then again he is amazing simply by nature. He is the crown prince of humour and put-downs. He talks so much shit his enemies have to bath afterwards.

"That wasn't deliberate," the voice in his head disagrees. "I don't even know why you bother lying to yourself like this. The only one who hears this is me, and I know you're lying."​

Totally intentional and 100% super-amazing.

Surpanakha makes the stunts great.

Because it breaks the way stunts work. :p

(This one's actually in the original ruleset, too! One of those things the exalted devs realized would be broken before they published. :p)

Anyways, the melee roll is a hit with 2 Threshold Successes. Which means post-soak damage is 14d10+2 Lethal Damage+[6] Damage Adds

Roll 14d10E7+2 Autosux real quick so I can move to the next bit.

Puch that loudmouth in the FACE. Er, Torso, I guess. Add 4 dice.

So, would gnawing the ARJUN's leg off work best as a grapple, or...?

You can make any attack a bite attack due to Teeth Without Number, so you can do it as any other attack or you could do it as a grapple.

I wouldn't do it as a grapple, though, as the ARJUN can still stab/shoot you and the enemies can actually hit you if you're in a grapple.

Because coordinated attacks are annoying.

I think this is wrong now?
 
Ugh, co-ordinated attacks are nasty. IIRC, you suffer a DV penalty equal to the number of people attacking you at once - against all their attacks.

That said, I think it requires a miscellaneous action to co-ordinate such an attack... well, Janaka's a Dragon-blood, so he probably has a Charm to do that reflexively if need be. Or there could be built-in squad synchronizing comms tech that allows it, or something.

Well, I wanted to eliminate both members of the entourage before they could do anything serious, but that's not really an option, now - not sure if it's better to just mitigate the DV penalty by eliminating one, or go all-in on taking down the Terrestrial.
