Meat had anticipated closing to the metal creature and bashing it with his table leg, as described above. He goes last. If everyone else runs away, and he's allowed to change his action, then he will also retreat. Otherwise, I guess he's hitting the thing.

There is no way to escape the menacing machine as it decries all that is "Invasive Species Detected". It hovers along at a brisk pace, but is still just under ten Ft. away when Octavia Looses her bow. The arrow strikes cleanly into some softer plastic fittings between the joint of one of its many mechanical arms, taking one of its more dangerous looking implements out of commission. The machine has four arms all together, one grasping hand, and three bladed tools.
While its stability has definitely been affected, it is able to manage a single strike against roger, wounding him with its Vibrating blade, but not mortally. Because of the Machines singular focus meat is easily able to sneak up behind it.
Meanwhile poke is able to position himself to look down into the chamber from which the machines originated. It leads to a spiraling staircase working its way down into the mountain, it is illuminated, but you cannot see the bottom without descending.
Roger is free to attack, either with his bare hands (Heightened Strength) or one of his mutations (Radiated Eyes, Reflection Power). After Roger takes his action then meat can strike.
Conversely, if there is no post from roger I'll assume he starts concentrating on his reflection power and resolve meats attack.
To hit roll 4+2 on 2d6, Octavia hits her mark, and does 4 points of damage.
The Robot gets a 14 on its to hit roll, striking roger, and its vibro-blade does a flat 10 pts of damage.

Through the pain of his wound Roger manages to strike out at the mental machine, but as he executes the strike the spare arm on that side decides it'd be a really great time to spin like a wagon wheel, throwing the blow off target and missing the metal monster entirely.
Sneaking from the rear the still unseen meat manages to strike the machine from behind, confusing it slightly, and leaving a table leg shaped dent in the back of its, for lack of a better word, head. The metal monster is now scanning for the source of its heads new shape.
The Scrubbing droid wheels past Poke down the hole, while the Roomba appears not at all phased by the exchange and continues about its task, diligently fighting a one droid war against the ravages of misplaced sand and cobblestones.
Next round!
There are, oddly, no clear rules for HtH combat. I'll count Badger claws as a class three weapon, like a dagger Roll(1d20)-2: 8,-2 Total:6 Miss
Now meat strikes with his improvised club. Roll(1d20)+0: 15,+0 Total:15 Hit! Roll(1d6)+0: 3,+0 Total:3
I may eventually house rule some randomness into initiative if this gets monotonous, but as for now same order, although the now damaged machine is suffering a modifier due to damage and will now go after Roger and Poke, but still before Meat.

Poke, hearing the commotion going on, will take a spike he was picking his teeth with and jump the nearest metal demon and attept to stap it's softer spots- if indeed it has any!

If the creature is turning, Meat will move sideways, orbiting the creature, looking for a second opportunity to strike and trying to stay away from the front of it. If his path brings him on a collision course with Octavia or Roger, he will open distance to pass behind them. Otherwise, if the creature does not turn much, he will hold position and strike as able.

Octavia is in relatively close quarters, so she grasps her spear tightly and attempts the pierce the beast where-ever the head of her spear can find purchase. The tip of her spear bounces cleanly off of the drones head/dome.
Rogers blast invisibly works its way through the mechanisms of the machine, producing a few sparks, but what damage has been done isn't immediately visible. This is followed immediately with an attack from poke, which does manage to cut one of the seals on its body.
Apparently confused from the damage its received the Mechanical lunatic swings wildly at Octavia. It misses completely, but makes it clear that the rules of robotics are null and void.
Meat manages his hidden attack from behind, but the strike glances off the beasts back.
The machine is clearly damaged, its dome like head is dented, two of its four arms are out of commission, and its cylindrical body is battered and worn, but its still moving and may still be able to give chase.
Next Round.

Octavia sets her mouth in a grim line and attacks the creature again. "If we do not kill it, it may follow us - or worse yet, attract others of its kind."

Octavia manages to get in a deep cut into the main body of the machine and as sparks fly from every place through which a spark could conceivably fly, Poke manages a coup de grâce that sends the mechanical lunatic down for the count. It doesn't so much die as slow, shudder, and proceed to leak its black blood onto the ground.
The cleaning droid stops for a moment, lets out a high pitched shriek, and runs back down the cylinder. You are now, as far as you can tell alone, and free to investigate the curious mechanical man, the surroundings, both, or go as you please.

Meat says, "That call may bring more of the mechanical men. We should leave soon."
He inspects the mechanical man, looking for small metal bits he can carry away to use as projectiles. He's especially interested in the sharp weapon appendages used by the mechanical man, hoping to get a sharp implement to use as a dagger.
