Amaranth rolls from the Sledgehammer's blow and comes up standing.  Her left ankle twists off an odd angle, leaving her standing on the side of the foot, and her chest is noticeably caved in from the blow, and there's still that hole in her shoulder.

Nevertheless, she runs straight back towards the Sledgehammer.

   Onyx's head flashes from left to right, quickly...finally he thinks he sees something...

OOC: 10:50, Today: Onyx rolled 11 using 1d20 with rolls of 11. Int save (11).

"You lads take the big lug," Vos said.  "I'm on that Shroud feller."

But of course, she couldn't see him.

11:46, Today: Vosper rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15. Spot Shroud.

"Bollox.  Nevermind, then," she said.  And whirling, hurled another dart at Sledgehammer.

11:47, Today: Vosper rolled 10 using 1d20 with rolls of 10. Throwing dart, HTH +10 to hit.
11:48, Today: Vosper rolled 9 using 2d8 with rolls of 3,6. Velocity damage.
11:48, Today: Vosper rolled 7 using 1d6+1 with rolls of 6. HTH damage. +2 more for Damage mod = 18 damage.

2 PR spent for action!

   "There's dat sucka!" Onyx blurted, pointing out the Shrouds new location.

   He zipped through the air towards the villain, his hands again filling with energy- but this time it was a more prismatic, glowing light, not the raw energy Bruce usually threw around.

   Pulling up behind a little bit of cover, but still well in range, Onyx said: "If I kin see ya, I kin shoot ya!" letting loose with a beam of what looked like solid light.

   The blast was bright, strong, and on target...

OOC: Damage: 4 points :/ 16 10 points!  :). Take that, Evil!

13:13, Today: Onyx rolled 16 using 2d10+1 with rolls of 9,6. Damage re-roll (correct adjusted).
12:37, Today: Onyx rolled 3 using 2d8 with rolls of 1,2. Light Damage.
12:21, Today: Onyx rolled 3 using 1d20 with rolls of 3. Light attack.

GM correction; Onyx rolled the correct damage the 1st time, but since there was some confusion between us which damage dice to roll I will take the average of the 2 rolls or 10 points.

Nightmare moves to the wall, a few yards from big red, grim and quiet, he pulls his pistol, and sights on the big guy's head once again before gently squeezing the trigger.

OOC: again trying to pop the guy in the head, with a bit more accurate weapon, +13 to hit (not counting facing mods)
21:33, Today: Nightmare rolled 16 using 2d20 with rolls of 14,2. shoot the big red head....  ???
21:34, Today: Nightmare rolled 11 using 1d8+4 with rolls of 7. damage with pistol.
spent two points of power for second action

Amaranth returns to the melee, swiping at the huge Russian again with that strange hand but he is able to remarkably nimbly sidestep at the last moment.

The Inhuman punches out with his mace-hand again, the behemoth interposing the jeep-shield and deflecting most of the blow. More chunks of the jeep fall to the ground and the Russian shrugs off the remaining force of the blow.

Vosper again whirls at high velocity, ripping off another dart throw. This time the dart punches right through the jeep-shield but bounces off the massive foe's chest.

Nightmare attempts again to shoot at the Russian's head, this time with his pistol. Again however his aim is off just enough to cause the shot to go high.

Poco attempts to tear into the big red man but again he is able to bring the jeep-shield into position. Poco's blow is hard enough however to tear apart the remnants of the jeep which scatter all around. The claws do rake across the Russian's flesh but this time only elicit a grunt as the man rolls with the remaining energy.

Onyx spots Shroud about 750 feet south-southeast of the battle and flies to engage him. As he nears he sends a bright beam of light lancing across which strikes the cloaked figure squarely. Something glows momentarily beneath the cloak and Onyx hears the dark man grunt in anger.

Red Sledgehammer sends a huge fist at The Inhuman, on target despite his movements but as it strikes his flesh it gives then deflects the force of the blow aside leaving him unharmed. The Russian curses and grits his teeth at the elusiveness of even a foe as big as himself.

OOC:  changed move.
Oscillator flies above Red Sledgehammer (way out of reach, near max range) and fires a nasty blast to the face, "Likely you will not even notice this, brute.  But I too shall contribute to your imminent surrender."

OOC:  looks like a miss.

The massive Inhuman, having made no attempt to evade Red Sledgehammer's attack laughs at the Russian behemoth feeble attack "Krasnyy Kuvalda? Vy popali, kak malen'kaya devochka."

OOC: Shroud holds his action, Amaranth can go then I will do his action and summarize the end of turn.

Amaranth makes another grab for the Red Sledgehammer.

Oscillator flies up and tries a focused blast at the red giant's head but it goes wide, not causing any collateral damage. The big Russian doesn't even flinch as the blast passes by but growls in anger at Inhuman's taunts; "Kak naschet vy stoite na meste to, rezinovyy chelovek? Ya budu, yesli vy budete."

Amaranth attempts to grab onto the Russian, her hand looking more normal, but he is able to sidestep her attack.

Shroud glares at Onyx for a moment, lowering his rifle. He calls out in unaccented English; "Now you see me, now you don't!" and winks out of sight.

OOC: All power scores updated as needed, new inits coming up.

Vosper used her first action to set up an evasion, being mindful that a teleporting sniper was out there.

OOC: Nothing happens during Shroud's 1st turn. This time no one sees him appear anywhere nearby. Vosper and Poco are up.

Eddy was getting over this, fast.

And that's how he came at this big Ruskie; fast ... and hard.


-  rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15. Int check: need 6 or less.

- rolled 7 using 1d20 with rolls of 7. Attack: +12 bonus.
- rolled 27 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 8,9. Damage.

Vosper spun to one side and loosed a dart at the Russian Sledgehammer.  Of course, she missed.

Vosper continues to zig and zag, trying to make herself a difficult target. She spins up and releases a dart at the big Russian but it goes wide, impacting the wall behind him.

Poco looks to time his attack with the behemoth's dodging and comes in hard, slashing with his claws. He connects solidly and is able to draw some blood, causing the Russian's eyes to narrow in anger. The skin of the large man again appears to take much of the blow before opening.

Moments later a shot rings out from behind the main group and away to Onyx's left not far from him. The shot strikes The Inhuman but he is able to roll with much of it, grunting a bit from the impact. A breath later another shot rings out, seemingly from the same location and strikes Vosper despite her weaving and dodging. The shot hits hard but she remains standing.

OOC: The Inhuman is shot once for 16 damage, 4 are absorbed by SR, 8 are rolled into power (-8 power), and the remaining 4 points come off his hit points (-4 hp). Vosper is likewise shot once for 14 damage, 5 of which are rolled into power (-5 power), with the remaining 9 points going into hit points (-9 hp). HP and Power scores updated, the next group of player attacks are up. People who are not focusing on the combat with Red Sledgehammer can make Detect Hidden rolls (no need for Detect Danger, you all know it is out there).

The Inhuman ignores the impact of the bullet as he replies to the Red Sledgehammer "I ain't the one dancing around like a Ballerina."

As usual, Vosper was proving entirely ineffectual in combat.  First her dart went wide, then - despite her high-speed dodging - she got nailed by the sniper.  It hit her like a freight train, a spray of blood erupting from her shattered shoulder, and sent her tumbling 30 feet through the air like a rag doll.

"Someone... nail... that bloody SNIPER!" she snarled between clenched teeth.

Almost everything Vosper said went by without his notice, but the word 'sniper' got through. Nightmare moves away from the battle with Red Sledgehammer, heading directly away from the big Russian. Once he's made it about fifty feet, he faces away from the group, and let's loose the weight of his soul. The heaviness of waking and knowing that everything you've built in your life is wrecked on a mountainside half a world from anyone that cares. The despair of being surrounded when nobody's there. The soul-sucking doubts when you imagine the Creator you have served faithfully has no time to notice your plight.
He pulls the threads from his soul as palpable things and casts them out.

OOC: move away from Red Sledgehammer and face away from the crowd to minimize collateral effects, use Emotion Control, PR = 8 used
continuing to Cloud Minds, if someone moved into the radius let me know and I'll spend the power point

   Onyx looked around as he zig-zagged yet again looking for the sniper.

   The guy was the worst kinda sneaky punk Bruce had ever fought.

   _{"Where you at, you sneaky rat punk..."} he said under his breath.

OOC:  Evade again. Waiting on an answer from the GM to post whether or not Onyx can spot the sniper.

Continuing his assault on the massive Russian, Eddy passed for another swipe.


- rolled 2 using 1d20 with rolls of 2. Attack: +12 bonus.
- rolled 14 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 3,1. Damage.

Amaranth reaches out for the Sledgehammer again!

Nightmare sends out the power of his will, seeking the mind of Shroud but it appears he is not closeby.

Amaranth's hand takes on the strange pale glow and she reaches out and touches the large Russian. The contact causes his eyes to go wide in surprise but he remains standing amidst the team.

Onyx starts an erratic flight pattern while he tries to locate the teleporting sniper Shroud but is unable to find him at this moment.

Poco slashes at Red Sledgehammer again and connects but the big Russian rolls with the blow and appears unharmed.

Red Sledgehammer tries to lash out at The Inhuman to clear him aside but his massive punch goes wide with the dodging of the rubbery hero. He growls in frustration at the hero's fancy footwork.

OOC: OK, power scores updated as needed. Oscillator, The Inhuman, and Vosper are up.

24 damage

Another blow glances off of the Inhumans massive body.

The Inhuman maneuvers a few feet so that Red Sledgehammer has to choose whether to face him or Poco. As he does he slams his mace like fist into the Russian's face. Some how the massive Inhuman manages to connect again.

"The rest of you get the sniper. I got this one!" The Inhuman said. He figured Poco would stay and finish what he had started as well, but did not want to give the Russki the satisfaction of saying it.
