Shovels In Spades

"SHOVEL SMASH!" Daz roared before slamming an Automaton in the face with Hamson, sending it flying away through the army of Robots, destroying it and knocking over at least twenty more of its kind.

Crusher grinned menacingly before jumping away from Daz and Rimmy right into the thick of the humanoid metal men. She ignored the damage they were doing to her body and crouched before getting into a stance. "Strength Enhancement!"

A light blue aura wrapped around Crusher and she pulled her sledgehammer behind her back before yelling, "GRAVITAL IMPACT!"

Having put as much weight as her body could handle onto her weapon's head, Crusher swung around in place and due to how powerful the blow was, her sledgehammer absolutely destroyed the twenty Robots that had surrounded her, clearing the area.

She deactivated her strength aura since it was very stamina draining and she returned to Daz's and Rimmy's side.

Surprisingly, the attack kept on progressing more and more in Fort Skip's favour. Daz, Rimmy and Crusher were gradually thinning the Automatons out while Heather and Ger picked off as many as they could. Naturally, every minute and a half the ballista on the northern side of the inner rampart was firing and killing a few Robots every time.

Rimmy raised both of his humongous fists, and much like the time he had killed those thugs from Matt's group, he fired crystal shards from his palms. While not as effective as a blunt punch, due to the sheer size of each jewel shard, they managed to penetrate the bodies of the Robots, killing them.

Surprisingly, the one doing the most damage to the Automatons was actually Sarah. Her vines could squeeze between the tiny gaps in the metal of their bodies and completely destroy them from within.

Since the skill Basic Entwine was so cheap at ten worldforce per usage, Sarah was able to utilize it endlessly due to being able to regenerate that much worldforce in the ten seconds needed for its cooldown time to reset.

As it turned out, Ellie had spent the last few points she had earned from surviving thus far on an upgrade to her pet cube, Mini-Daz.
