There's no good way of telling whether or not it's hunting or sniper combat and the fact that the weapons discharge ringhs out through the landscape is a testament to the power*
*the avali's ears perk up, and it shoulders it's weapon, before dashing out of the bar and toward the noise*
"Hopefully this bounty pays, if it is one."
*a few drones the size of pizza boxes of two varying designs are seen patrolling the area, too small to do damage but definitely carrying enough sensor equipment and bristling with antennas, probably to relay telemetry and provide a firing solution to something else*

*the Avali takes pot shots at the drones with searing plasma, trying to draw The fire*
"Hey mate, lay off the murder, it doesn't help with the crime problems. Trust me, I've tried on abraxis."
*the recon drones themselves show no hostility, but their optics are advanced enough to observe a partial trigger pull and can very efficiently dodge incoming fire, it seems that they just do it as an automatic reflex and show no aggression in kind, yet*
// ever hear that phrase about hornets nests?

*the Avali stops firing at the drones, and begins to observe.*
"Huh, that's new. I didn't know the military sold this kind of hardware to the public. Or Mabey what ever is manning them is lining up a shot..."
*the drones upon closer inspection are definitely not consumer grade, and they seem to use primitive autonomous control. One by one the drones fly off until one is left to follow them around*

"This kind of hardware sells on the black market. But why are they in use?"
*the Avali continues to duck down, waiting for another shot*
*instead of a shot the sound of trees snapping in half is heard far off along with what sounds like a turbine starting and stopping*

"Sounds like the sniper doesn't want someone or something to leave."

"Sounds like someone isnt leaving anytime soon."
*the large turbine can barely be heard even by an avali so it's far off, much closer is what caused the trees crashing, some kind of heavy machinery*

*the avail ventures deeper into the woods, searching for any signs of struggle, and looking for anything out of place*
"I'm surprised that the guards haven't arrived yet."
*the source of the tree smashing is found, a 10 foot tall bipedal mech, it's frontal plating is covered in hundreds if tiny dents and instead of talking it makes a deep bellowing tone to express perceived alarm*

"Well shit, wasn't expecting that."
*it's right arm weapon trains on him as the mech limps back and prepares to fire*
Cli-cli- cli- cli- cli- cli- cli- cli-click...
//@Umbra But the only thing I had going on was involving you, and Zeureis isn't really up to anything yet. Plus I had to go to a wedding... That was the word for it dammit. Anyhow. Zeurei is stilll in the main square, he let the shields down, has taken back the opal, and Achroma's guy is too out of it to run away while you started talking to him, plus Zeurei pulled a trick with the elemental in an attempt to gain additional information, but has released it as it's own being now, to do as it would see fit.

*the mech switches to another weapon, a laser cannon, which puts out the energy of a spotlightlight. The mech makes a sad whimper as every bolted on weapon system proves to be incredibly ineffectual and upon closer inspection seems to be a poor excuse for a combat mech, more like a utility loader retrofitted with nonfunctional weapons and heavy armor*

"That's just sad. And a waste of money. Who ownes you?"
*the avail tilts its head*
*the mech speaks in a deep distorted voice*
Beeeep, beeeep, beeeep, beeeep...
