Forcing herself back to her fleet, Vosper clutched her bloody wound and dashed back for cover.  She was useless in this fight, all she was doing was getting shot for no good effect.

Focusing her efforts, she concentrated on her injury and speeding up the healing process.

16:14, Today: Vosper rolled 46 using 1d100 with rolls of 46. Regen extra HP 20% chance. Of course not. Heal 1 HP.

Evasion.

Oscillator dodged, but chimed in with a strategic suggestion, "Big Red won't dodge so easily if he's flanked!"

The Inhuman spared a glace at the Oscillator, wondering if he was being obtuse or complementing the strategy that the Inhuman had just employed.

OOC:  Not being obtuse 'in char', didn't read your post as flanking.  Seems like you are flanking.  Hope you made it clear to the GM?
:)

Oscillator sets himself to weaving back and forth in his flight near the main battle, calling out his thoughts to the group.

The Inhuman connects solidly with a punch to the big Russian, and it definitely gets his attention but he accepts the impact without taking even a step back and prepares to return the favor.

Vosper zips around the main battle and into the cover of the outbuilding, still the best place to hole up despite a good part of the front being gone. She concentrates on trying to recover quicker.

From roughly the same area near Onyx he hears a trio of very muffled shots. The burst of fire is directed at The Inhuman's rear flank but go just wide, striking the wall past him. The burst causes 3 impact holes and also each hole briefly flares with a bright flame before it goes out.

OOC: Nightmare, Amaranth, Onyx, and Poco are up.

Amaranth gives The Inhuman a doubtful look, shakes her head, and tries to make contact with the Sledgehammer again.  She does circle around to space herself away from Poco and Inhuman a little, giving the Sledgehammer, hopefully, a few too many angles to watch.

Nightmare murmurs, "That's one mobile sniper." as he jogs towards what he perceives as the area the shots came from. When he has about fifty yards distance on Red Sledgehammer, he casually fires another round at the big Russian's head. Unfortunately, he is much too casual about it.

OOC: 22:23, Today: Nightmare rolled 17,16 using d20,d20 with rolls of 17,16. shoot at Red Sledgehammer's head.
missed so bad I skipped the damage roll

Eddy continued his relentless attack against Big Red.

-  rolled 13 using 1d20 with rolls of 13. Attk: +12 bonus.
-   rolled 15 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 1,4. Damage.

PR updated for this round's additional attacks .

   Onyx reached out, trying to sense the metal in the immediate area.

   The Shroud was using a sniper rifle.  The gun- the bullet- something had to be solid metal to fire.

    The multitude of metals surrounding him all sang their individual song.  The trace metals floating in the air, the ore kernels in the smallest rocks laying on the ground, the metal skeletons of the buildings and parking lots- they all sang their own individual songs.

   They were not the songs Onyx was listening for.

   They were the classical music, the pop rock stuff you heard all the time.  Bruce was looking for the boogie-woogie that bullets and guns sang.

    And then he heard it.

   His head snapped towards the direction The Shroud was located in, and Onyx zipped with range of his laser shot, his hand lighting up like two small suns.

   "I see you, Sucka!"

   Onyx let out another shot of hot, concentrated, pure light at the villain that was manipulating light himself.

   The blast was aimed at the central mass, and felt accurate.

OOC: Metal sense.  success.  fly within range.  Attack the Shroud with Light Control.  12 points of damage.

10:41, Today: Onyx rolled 12 using 2d8+1 with rolls of 3,8. Lazer burns (dam).
10:40, Today: Onyx rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. Major Lazers.
10:40, Today: Onyx rolled 6 using 1d100 with rolls of 6. Detect metal (42).

Nightmare heads in the direction the burst of rounds came from, firing a shot back at Red Sledgehammer's head but the shot goes high and wide.

Amaranth again reaches out with her ghostly pale hand and gently touches the big Russian. His brow furls in frustration as he tries to figure out why her slightest touch hurts as it does.

Onyx reaches out with his magnetic power and is able to get a bead on the sniper's rough location. The beam of light lances out and although it passes through apparently unhindered there is a shout of pain somewhere but nothing is seen.

Poco again moves in and slashes at the Soviet behemoth, striking him but not as solidly as he could. He does still draw some blood with his claws.

Red Sledgehammer growls angrily at being targetted by so many people. He looks over the 3 targets brawling with him and arrives at a decision. He sends a massive, knobbed fist out at Poco, looking to send him outside the battle area. The fist connects solidly, sending the cat-man tumbling straight back for a good distance.

OOC: Poco is punched for 33 damage, 10 of which are rolled into power (-10 power), and the remaining 23 come off his hit points (-23 hp). The force of the aptly-named Russian's blow sends Poco flying 19" (23 damage -4 for basic hits), dealing another 1 point of damage which is rolled into power since he is only sent tumbling (-1 power). Hit points and power adjusted as needed, Oscillator and The Inhuman are up then the turn ends.

+1 for Int
40 points of damage!!

When his Russian opponent decides to go after Poco, he is forced to show the Inhuman his back. A soldier, trained in hand to hand, and a barrel fool of dirty tricks, the Inhuman takes advantage of Red Sledgehammer blindside and delivers a missive blow with his mace like fist into the Russian's kidney.

He knew there was no time to play fair. The team was badly bloodied and he needed to put the massive Russian down.

After delivering his blow the Inhuman calls to his foe "Ivan! You will be pissing as red as Mao's Little Book." The Inhuman bellowed hoping to draw fire off the others by taunting his foes.

OOC Thankfully Poco was already knocked back and out of the way if the Inhuman can send Red Sledgehammer flying.

When Oscillator saw Poco get blown off his feet, he was concerned.  And afraid.
'What can I do against a powerhouse like that?' he wondered.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Onyx and the Shroud, thinking 'That battle is more suited to my power level.'

He flew at top speed towards Shroud and attempts to vibrate Shroud's gun into a piece of junk, also flanking.

Oscillator notices Onyx sending a blast of light through an empty area. He flies in that direction and sends vibrational energy towards what he thinks may be Shroud but does not appear to hit anything.

The Inhuman tries to get around to the big Russian's back but he is too close to the ruined wall and turns to face him. Instead of the kidney the massive blow hits Red Sledgehammer's side with enough force to cause immediate swelling and staggers him back into the wall. The behemoth roars in anger and sets himself solid on his feet again.

OOC: That's the end of the turn, power has been updated where needed.

Having scrabbled desperately for cover while her guts knitted back together from Shroud's sniper bullet, the young Brit shakes her head and tries to shrug off the overall feeling of helplessness and being out of her depth. She'd been an operative and a courier and a spy, but this... was outright warfare.  Her speed seemed futile in the face of uncanny invisible teleporting snipers who could shoot her at will, and a massive tank of a man that could lift jeeps for shields.

Taking a deep breath, she blew it out and prepared herself for another run. She'd be damned if she'd die hiding in a hole.

(OOC: Remain under cover for now. Set up an evasion, surprise!)

Nothing is heard from the deadly Russian sniper...yet.

OOC: Shroud holds his action, Poco and Vosper are up.

Evade

Vosper holds her action for the Inhuman's phase to coordinate.

From back within the outbuilding Vosper moves back towards the battle, zipping back and forth as she comes. She waits to try and coordinate her 1st attack with a member of her group.

Getting up from the ground Poco decides to start using his animal dexterity to duck and dodge again as he contemplates his next action, not wanting to get tagged by another punch like that.

Squaring off against The Inhuman, Red Sledgehammer swings a massive fist at him and this time catches him squarely. The massive blow sends The Inhuman tumbling back about 20 feet. Grinning, the big Russian replies to The Inhuman's taunt with one of his own; "Vozmozhno, ya budu, no vy budete videt zvezdy i polosy navsegda!"

OOC: The Inhuman is punched for 35 damage; 4 of which is absorbed by his invulnerability, 7 is rolled into power (-7 power), and the remaining 24 comes off his hit points (-24). The massive blow sends The Inhuman tumbling back 4" (24 damage -20 basic hits) dealing another 7 points, 4 of which is absorbed by his invulnerability, and the remaining 3 points is rolled into power (-3 power). Hit points and power adjusted as needed, The Inhuman can make a KO roll vs. 24 damage. Nightmare, The Inhuman, Amaranth, and Onyx are up!

The rubbery form of The Inhuman rolls and tumbles back 20 feet, eventually coming to a halt. He lies still on the ground and the big Russian grins savagely, looking around for his next target.

OOC: The Inhuman has be KO'ed by the massive punch from Red Sledgehammer. He will get a chance to wake up at his 1st action next turn. Other people can use an action to give him a chance to wake up before that.

Vosper moves behind Red Sledgehammer as he is clobbering the Inhuman and lets fly with a dart.


18:21, Today: Vosper rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15. Throwing dart, HTH +10 to hit. +4 from behind?  Or do I just miss again as usual?

Nightmare jogs a little closer to the area where the last shots came from, and looks around for the sniper before firing another round at Red Sledgehammer's head.

OOC: still looking for the sniper, and taking badly aimed pot shots at Red Sledgehammer's head
20:36, Today: Nightmare rolled 11,15 using d20,d20 with rolls of 11,15. shoot RS in the head.
20:38, Today: Nightmare rolled 7 using 1d8+5 with rolls of 2. damage, just in case.

  Onyx takes another shot at the Shroud, but misses, distracted by one of the groups big toughies going down.

   Onyx began zig zagging again, trying to avoid getting tagged and taken out of the fight.

OOC:  and onyx joins the ranks of the terrible rollers. Honestly, as his player, I was overdue. :)

19:28, Today: Onyx rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18. Laser blasts! +2 to hit.

Forgot to evade!  If the GM wants to make Onyx's next shot a miss, no prob. Sorry for spacing out. Trying to get the post in between RL hectic-ness.

OMG I hit something.  Stop the press! :D

09:32, Today: Vosper rolled 11 using 2d8 with rolls of 3,8. Velocity damage.

09:31, Today: Vosper rolled 9 using 1d6+3 with rolls of 6. HTH damage.

"Hey, durak.  Over here!" Vosper commented as she spun and sent a dart smartly into Red Sledgehammer's arse.
