Can I take over for him? I think a bit of actual strategizing and playtesting couldn't hurt the development process. If so, since I know the upgrade trees, I'll let you pick the path.

Well, I guess I'll start things off with a question: Would I be able to fire the Fleshroaster diagonally (say, from the doorway), or does it only work in the 4 cardinal directions? If I can, how does that change the blast pattern?
I'm thinking Sukuzu should duck into the alcove in the hall to the west. If I can fire diagonally, I'll move to the doorway and do so. Otherwise, I think I'll just switch to the 'Roaster and wait for another spider to come into the hall for the barbecue, or perhaps move slightly forward so that anyone emerging from the room will get caught in melee range and wouldn't be able to go after Sukuzu without taking a hit.
Luki, don't forget to post the details of that upgrade. I know what it does, but everyone else is eagerly anticipating finding out, I'm sure.

People I say we - charge!!! 
Sukuzu can move N E fire Slayer and Bach can follow with W W N fire A. Rifle (Christ how it would be cool that Bach left Roaster as his primary ranged weapon  ), while the rest of the team advances to join the battle. With a bit of luck we will fry the High Priest and his Apprentice in no time
I think we cannot allow ourselves the luxury of retreat while our enemy can do the move 6 spaces/4 strikes combo. And attack is the best defense.
And welcome Draxas, always nice to have game developers around

I'm not sure about the wisdom of that plan, Son. It's not terribly likely that either one of the two in that room are going to die from an all-out attack by just us two, and then they won't even have as far to move to shred us. Hell, that High Priest gets 4 strikes AT RANGE. I'd say that keeping our distance would be wise currently, since you're already wounded, and the more distance the spiders have to move, the less AP they have to shoot and/or melee attack us. And if we stay split up in the hallway, there's also a lot less chance that all of us will get shredded by a random grenade.
To sum up: I'd rather stay defensive and take one attack each, than charge into the room, inflict non-lethal damage on both enemies, and get pulverized.
However, it might be worthwhile for me to take a step forward and attempt to broil off some of the closer Priest's HP with the 'Roaster. That might get me in trouble if he has a Boncrusher or a Fleshroaster (and he is likely to have the latter), but maybe that's a more sensible risk.

SoA: Well, if we attack, we're not going to kill them both this turn, and possibly not even one. That could be deadly if both enemies direct their fire at one player. If we instead regroup at the entrance, there's only room for one Ilwrath to attack, all of us could join in the battle, and Wawa may even make good use of the Psychic flash.
On the other hand, it's likely that the High Priest keeps doing what it is doing, whether it is calling for help or trying to flee, and so won't be doing much damage either way.
Btw, Luki, Wubula is still listed as wielding the stun baton, while she's switched to the bonecrusher here.
Edit: Also she's wielding the Slayer.

OOC: Points taken, just was up for some guns blazing action; it's just a game after all
IC: Following the regroup plan of the rest of the team, Sukuzu skimmers W W and gets ready for hell unleashed. Plasma style, baby.
summary: W W pass
EDIT: Copy that.

Bach steps W, readies his Fleshroaster, and lets loose a blast to the W with intent to create some charbroiled Ilwrath.
Son, I think you might be better off only moving 2 squares instead of all 3. That way, you won't have to expend a whole AP moving to the doorway next turn, and you'll still be far enough away from my attack not to get hit.

I don't know; that's likely to put me, at least, in a lousy tactical position, where I'll either have to break off melee & take a hit, or finish the priest off alone. Either way, it doesn't help Wawa at all.
Actually, scratch that. I should be able to break combat without a problem (as Luki will inform us eventually), but the positioning is still not great. We might be better off saving the powers for when the High Priest's reinforcements show up, assuming that's what he's going for.

As Sukuzu scurries forward, Bach steps up. Shouldering his rifle, he arms himself with the Fleshroaster. A smile plays on his otherwise sullen face, as he caresses the fearful weapon. Such a potential for destruction! Cleansing fire to burn away the scourge that fills this place. Truly, the accursed spiders have furnished him with a fine gift. As he lets the trigger slide back, a burst of flame spews forth, burning hot and true. It sears the corridor ahead of him, cleansing it of filth. As the flame approaches the open door, it flows through. From within, a hiss of pain can be heard as the stench of charred Ilwrath flesh wafts out through the door.

OOC
Bach scores 3 hits and the priest fails to parry a single one, bringing him down to 1 HP. And fixed I meeps weapons, sorry bout that.
