On the other side of the gate it is cold....VERY cold...like the coldest cold most of the team  has ever experienced. It isn't the cold that gets the attention as much as the gusting winds blowing stinging snow particles all over the place and dropping visibility. The area, as best as can be seen, is a relatively level patch of snowpack surrounded by hills and snowdrifts of varying heights. The team is grateful for the top-level protective clothing provided for the mission but even with it the team knows they wouldn't survive through the night here.

The snowmobiles are heavily fueled, to enable them to keep running. The team knows not to turn them off in this cold or they will never start again. The team has with them a waterproof map and a high-end compass to navigate to the Soviet research facility. The advice given to set up the survival tents upon arrival seems like a good idea once the team feels the cold and the wind, the time spent will be worth it in the long run. Even though it is late morning due to the windblown snow and ice particles the light is significantly dimmed, near white-out conditions during the heaviest gusts. While it will make the trek to the research facility a grind it will also make it exceedingly difficult to be spotted by any patrolling guards if the wind keeps up.

OOC: People can feel free to post here as soon as you are able...

Dressed in slow clothing and goggles, Eddy is the first through out of the gate (at a gallop) on his snowmobile.
The engine guns to full throttle, as he swings it around in some tight figure-8s, howling in fun with a volume and ferocity to match the winds.

Nightmare drives his snowmobile through the portal as sedately as a snowmobile will drive. Running the machine at idle, he waits for the rest of the team to assemble.

Oscillator drives thru on his snowmobile, then idles it next to the others.

His thoughts were not focussed on the mission.  'Why doesn't our government find us a psychic, or a precog, or at least someone who can keep us warm?'

And then he activated his vibration defense to vaporize any snow particles before they hit him, and he got warmer.  'It's not fire, but it will have to be good enough until we are situated.

Wonder if Vosper can heat things uo by rubbing sticks together, or charcoals...?'

... or rubbing herself against me!

Onyx glows as he uses his internal energies to help hold the cold at bay.

He sets about helping with the emergency shelters.

"Any of you boy scouts good with maps? I have a feeling these tents are going to be under snow by the time we head back here."

"I worked Recon for M-I6 before I met you lot," Vosper offered.  "I can read a map.  But with no bearings, it'll be hard.  Someday we'll have to invent something that gives accurate positions on a map via satellite, or something."

"Maybe we can ask Ramsses?  He probably has that technology now too."

"We shouldn't need to bother his Egyptian-ness... Onyx, you've got magnetism in your bag of tricks, right?  We just need to have a good hunk of metal to mark the spot, and you should be able to find it with your powers."

Coming through the gate Muldoon looked at his copy of the map and attempted to gain his bearings. This far north it was difficult to relay on a compass, so the green beret did his best to find some distinctive terrain.

While in captivity with the Soviets he had spent time in Sibera, it was an cold place. But this was different, this was a frigid wasteland.

"Two things to remember," Vos shouted to the team.  "This isn't just the COLDEST place on Earth... it's the DRIEST.  Dehydration can be a real concern, so stay hydrated.  And when the temperature drops, I'd not advise breathing without a muffler, filter or mask... air'll get so cold it'll freeze your lungs solid."

"Visibility can drop to almost zero.  We've got ways to compensate for that, but one of the best is to remain in sight of others at all times," she added.

"Yes, cold and dry. The top of the world like the top of the tallest mountain. Interesting. Sometimes the symmetry between what was and what will be becomes so marked the future follows the footsteps of the past without volition."
"That's a digression. Avoid them, and focus on the task at hand."
His teeth may be chattering, slightly, but all concerned are uncertain whether he's feeling the first euphoric effects of hypothermia or just being himself.

OOC: Fortunately for the team, it is not winter in Antarctica but fall so it is not as cold as it could be. The wind currently is pretty uncomfortable however.

"Given the choice, I prefer the cold to the desert.
Death by exposure to heat and thirst seems much more unpleasant than the numbness of cold.

Ahem, not that I plan on myself or any of us dying!"

Eddy pulled up next to the team, creating a 'splash' of snow.
Under the furry hood, and face mask, his furry face could be seen grinning ear to ear.

pulling the face mask aside for a moment (and not having heard a single thing said before now, he called out, "WHO WANTS TO RACE TO THE TOP OF THAT HILL OVER THERE?"


Eddy, of course, was an 18 year old from one of the hottest countries around.  He'd never seen snow before; but had heard, and dreamed, all about it.  And damn if he wasn't enjoying his first experience with it.

"You don't even notice the cold, do you?" Oscillator asked.

He pulled his parka up, and prepared to race -- but he waited to make sure the others were joining.  Osc didn't want to cause a ruckus.

Again pulling his parka close about him, Nightmare maneuvers the snowmobile to point in the direction they are to be going. He is prepared to move out, and has but one thing to say, "kids... they'll be the death of us all."

Eventually the team works together to put up the shelters. With the gusting wind it is tricky but the task is eventually completed. Even though it is mid-Fall the temperature is quite cold, around -50 F, with the windchills making it even worse. The team is happy for the advanced cold weather gear but still feel enough of the cold to know that long periods of time exposed will eventually take their toll. Despite the snow and ice around, as Vosper said it is quite dry.

The shelters now up the team can at least get away from the wind while they check the map and compass, which seems to work perfectly fine. Onyx of course is being careful not to have his magnetic power active in the vicinity. The bearings appear to be correct and from what was said the research facility should be about 4-5 miles away. What the team needs to decide is whether to advance on the facility during the day when it is not as cold or wait until they have dark as an additional block to being seen.

Onyx ignores the hi-jinks of some of this companions and listens carefully to Vosper. The warning about frozen lungs visibly upsets him.

"This is not what I signed up for. Let's get to the base, get the job done, and get back home."

"I agree we str. ike now. The longer we stay here longer the the better the chances you'll discover us and lose our greatest advantage surprise." Muldoon said.

"This is similar to the himalayas, and from what I've seen the temperature will drop too low to function in when it becomes dark. We should move out as soon as possible."
Inside the shelter, Nightmare is extremely subdued, apparently bothered by something in the air.

"We go with stealth as long as we can. But once they spot us we need to hit them hard and fast. I can take the point of the intrusion,  I escaped a place this I reckon I can sneak into one." Muldoon said.

To Master Sgt Patrick Muldoon & the team, "I wholly agree."

The needle on the compass dances and spins toward Onyx as a ripple of magnetic energy plays over his body and causes any loose metal in the tent to dance momentarily.

He heads toward the tent entrance.

"No time to waste flappin' gums then."

He steps through the entrance and raises a few feet above the snow, flying slowly in the direction of base, waiting to pick up speed until the others follow.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:28, Sat 14 Feb 2015.

Vos follows the rest.

With Onyx leading the way hovering in the air the rest of the team follows in the direction of the facility. His directional skills prove up to the task even in the snow blowing around in the winds and in about an hour's time the team has crested another hill and can just see the facility about 500 feet in the distance. The winds are still gusting at times but settle enough between gusts to get some details. There is a large central building, definitely permanent-looking while scattered around it are a number of other structures; garages, a large antenna, a barracks, and three towers around the facility evenly spaced. No vehicles are in view but they are likely in the garages to protect them from the cold. At this point the team cannot see anyone moving about. The snowmobiles can be left here safely hidden with the charges (assuming the team does not want to carry them into a potential combat situation).

OOC: Anyone who is using an active power like Flight with an hourly cost please mark off 2 hours of use (the 2nd hour is newly-started). Also no power can be recovered while the power remains active.

Eddy slipped from his snow-mobile, and prepared for the sneak.

"We should leave the charges here, eh?" Vosper hissed, keeping her voice low.

Nightmare nods, and unpacks the sniper rifle. His voice as quiet and hissy as Vosper's, he says, "I'm going to use the scope to look, I won't shoot anyone, yet."
Of course, that's what he'll do, put together the rifle and sight on the facility to take a closer look.

The weather hampering visibility, Oscillator reaches out with his vibration senses to see if he can detect anyone near.  Quietly, he says "I'll take a peak, too."

Osc hovers, & it seems most of the snow doesn't touch him.

Onyx hovers just off the snowpack and looks over the scene. He is not tactician and certainly not very skilled at sneaking into secret bases.

"Now what? Do we go up an knock on the door?"

"I can make way to the fence and bypass the security system. As the Inhuman I can quickly move into the nearest watchtower and eliminate the guard so the rest of you can enter unseen." Muldoon said, his voice changing as he changed forms and became the Inhuman. Although massive the others had seen the Inhuman move through tight spaces and flatten himself out. His light gray flesh, if it can be called that would serve him well in the snow.

"I can also drop anyone inside the facility fairly easily, so long as they're not too heavy."

OOC: Carry Cap: 467 lbs

"The trick is not being seen. Flying up there will get us spotted. I am fairly certain I can eliminate the tower without being spotted. That will allow the rest of the team to make entry." Muldoon replied.

"Flying through a floor would seem fairly hard to spot,
but you think a ton of giant rubber sneaking around will somehow be harder to sense?

Do you have a super-sneaky ability with your rubber feet?"

"Are you calling me fat?" Muldoon asked with a laugh.

"Didn't know you could carry someone with you under ground. But yeah while I can't fly underground I can do a he'll of a low crawl."

With that the Inhuman flattened himself to the ground and became a light gray pancake that could easily pass as a patch of shadow covered snow.

Looking through the sniper rifle scope Nightmare gets a glimpse of a pair of soldiers in each tower around the camp although it takes a little bit to get a good look at each one. At this range Oscillator determines that anyone moving in the distance just would not register over the vibration of the winds and the snow blowing on and over things but does get a sensation of vibration from the structures, possibly some kind of motor. Inhuman is able to shift his color sufficiently to blend pretty well with the snow and with the winds and blowing snow would probably be harder to pick out than even teammates in arctic camouflage. The wind continues to rise and fall, blowing the snow around in gusts before allowing it to mostly settle back. At this point it does not appear that the team has been spotted from the towers.

Nightmare continues to watch the compound through the rifle scope as he explains, "We're undetected, thus far. I doubt it would be difficult to sneak up on those tower guards. Even if they're taken out, it's possible there are others inside the compound. If I could walk in before you eliminate the guards, it might give us a better chance at remaining undetected."

"Sounds like a plan," Vosper agreed.  "I can move fast, but in this weather, I can't be sure it'll be fast enough to take 'em both out before they can raise an alarm - and they may have check-in times and codes we don't know."

Onyx wraps his arms around himself and shivers.

"I don't care what we do. Let's just do it and get out of this cold."

"So Ossy can sneak Nightmare inside. Meanwhile I'll sneak up, breech the fence and be in position to take out the personnel in the tower. The rest of you can follow. If possible we want to neutralize all three towers before we are compromised. Anyone have the capability to take down the third tower if we can take down one and two?" The Inhuman asked.

Eddy just sat back, listening to them talk.  Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

"Screw this," Vos hissed.  "I can get to the closest tower in a shade over 2 seconds. If I time things correctly with Nightmare watching through the scope, I can do it during a gust of wind when the guards aren't looking our way.  I say we do something," she said.

"We have a lot of cover.  Obviously, I defer to those of you with a lot of combat experience.  But my suggestion is -- since we are a team of highly effective professionals -- I carry two inside the perimeter.  I don't care whom, so long as you weigh less than about 450lbs.  And then I fly out, or I can come & pick you up if you hit problems."

"Meanwhile, Nightmare snipes anyone who makes a fuss."

"My suggestion would be to take Vosper and Poco, while Inhuman and Nightmare have their specific tasks."

Nightmare puts the sniper rifle back in its case and starts to pack it on a snowmobile. "I'm really not that good at the whole 'sniping' thing. Personally, I don't think we'll approach undetected, so I think we would be better off with misdirection. If Onyx and I were to ride up towards the gate, it could be enough distraction to allow Inhuman and Vosper to get into one tower and eliminate the watchers while Oscillator and Poco does so in the other tower. I don't think Onyx would find it difficult to open the gate from the outside, even if it's locked, while I interfere with anyone that would interfere with him."
"Once we're inside, we split and while Onyx goes to the left and assists in eliminating the guards in that corner tower, I go to the right and assist in eliminating the guards in that tower. Inhuman, Vosper, Oscillator, and Poco would just continue along the wall to the next tower after they silence the first towers. That would mean, in short order, we would have all the guards in the towers silenced and we could each follow the back perimeter to regroup."
Once finished, he looks up at the rest of the team before explaining, simply, "we live in a military installation, tactics manuals are about all you can find to read."

"This also sounds like an effective plan.  I have little time to read tactics -- if I'm to stay at the top of my field."

OOC: Just so people know I never said there was a fence or a gate because there isn't.

We need a leader. All I know to do is to hit what's in front of me as hard as I can, which is pretty hard. But we got our butts handed to us last time out.

We need a leader. One who didn't learn his leadin' from a book."

Onyx looks at Muldoon.

What you say Master Sergeant?"

With a quirky smile, Nightmare turns to Inhuman and says, "For what it's worth, yours was the first opinion I was going to ask for concerning my plan, anyway."

Since everyone seemed content to blather on in the Antarctic cold until they were eventually discovered, Vosper began timing the winds and readying for her sprint at one of the guard towers. "We don't have all day," she reminded them.

"While I don't disagree that we need a leader", Osc says -- looking unhappily at Muldoon, "I do question the timing on this discussion.  Why change our group dynamic right this moment in sub-zero conditions?  Don't we get to vote or something?"

Eddy sighed.  "'Mare, your the man with they eye. Even if you e just put it away.
What are the towers? Totally enclosed?   Doors? Windows?   When we get there, how would we get into one?"

He was ready to go, alone if need be, but just needed this one extra bit of info.

Onyx responds to Oscillator's call for democracy.

"'Cuz our current dynamic has us standing around in the cold holding a tactical debate. Looking at Vos and Poco, I can tell you that three of us are ready to just go charging in and find out what happens next. If that doesn't sound like a good plan, then let's let someone who knows his way around a battlefield call the shots."

Energy crackles over Onyx's body and his eyes flash with a golden light.

The Inhuman shifted back to his humanoid form "Alright we are burning daylight. So we are going to go for shock and speed. We hit hard and fast."

"Our initial targets are the three towers. We will split into three teams of two and each team will take down a tower."

The Inhuman pointed a stubby finger toward the objective "The first team to take down its tower will take out the antenna and commo shack. The next target is Barracks and Armory. With the those targets eliminated we will move to the labs."

"We need to collect/destroy data and scientists. Ossy is best qualified to prioritize what needs to be taken and destroyed that is his show. With no communications and limited shelter we should be able to convince the scientists to return with us rather than freeze to death."

"Once we have what we need we will set the demo charges and destroy the rest of the facility. With the objective neutralized we will head to the rendezvous with as many prisoners as possible."

"This is a rally point if things go bad. If we have to escape and evade we fall back on the snowmobiles and head for the extraction point."

"Hmmmm.  Not bad, 'Sarge'." Oscillator says, accepting the plan & preparing himself.

Osc wished he had more notes on what specific science bad-ness they would be running into.  Bio 'tinkering' wasn't exactly his racket, although he had studied biology, organic chemistry, genetics, bio-kinesiology, and he had a few papers published in the arena -- but it wasn't his strongest suit.

Would he recognize a bio-sealed toxic chamber?  An artificially cultivated terror?  Or worse, some really nasty bacteria or virii?  Guess they'd be finding out.

Nightmare grins at Inhuman, "See there, I knew you'ld have a better idea. How you want us to split up?"
Although the rifle sits in the case, Nightmare does not close the lid. While he waits for the teams to be named he checks his pistols while insuring he can access his whip and bolas.

"Oscillator, drop Nightmare in tower one while Poco advances on it then help Vosper with tower two. Vosper on tower two. Onyx I will take down tower three." The Inhuman said.

"Our orders are just to destroy the data and labs. As we will be leaving their personnel behind we will leave their barracks intact so they can survive until the Soviets send a rescue team. But there is a possibility that there are prisoners at the lab being used as subjects, there also might be some who want to defect. So we leave a couple vehicles intact until after we know what we are dealing with."

"H Hour. If everyone is clear on the plan. Let's go."

Eddy just sighed, and shook his head.

They never listened to him, anyway. He knew that.  They just wanted him to listen to them.

Readying himself, he prepared to move on tower two with Vosper.

"I'm ready to venture out with Nightmare, although I don't see what's wrong with Poco's suggestion Nightmare takes in the view with the sniper scope before we *CHARGE!*"

Osc had quickly bit the bullet that Muldoon would lead the team in combat.  He bit the bullet that he wasn't paired up with Vosper.  (Actually, Nightmare and Osc made a good paiiring too, power-wise.)

But they weren't in combat just yet.

Nightmare shrugs, "It all sounds good to me."
Then he proceeds to put the scope of the rifle to his eye and take another look.

A ripple of energy passes over Onyx.

"Do you need a lift, Sarge?"

OOC:

Onyx flies 54 mph and can lift 861 pounds.

Activate magnetic defense for 1 PP

"Roight.  'Kay, Poco, let's get it done," Vos said.  Once Eddy was ready she stepped on the gas.

Looking back through the rifle scope at the nearest tower Nightmare notes that one of the soldiers seems to have noticed something amiss. He is not sure if the soldier has actually spotted the team but he appears to be gesturing to the other in the direction of where Nightmare is looking from and is grabbing for his binoculars. The other soldier appears skeptical but is moving to look in the direction the first soldier is pointing at, his hand resting lazily on his walkie-talkie at the moment.

"Onyx I'm too heavy a load. Got to start cutting down on the donuts." The Inhuman said patting where his stomach would be.

It seemed that Ossy ' s attempt at humor had need loud enough to draw attention. They needed to move now.

"Voss take down the one with the radio first. All elements hit the target now."
This message was last edited by the player at 02:08, Thu 26 Feb 2015.

Eddy sighed.  And pounded off across the tundra after Vos.

"Nightmare, lets make this go quick, ok?"
Osc flew to his teammate, got a good grip on him, then soared towards their tower.

OOC:  Vib defense on, mental defense on.  First action is move and EVADE.

"Then catch up as fast as you can."

Onyx speeds toward tower three as fast as he can. His magnetic defenses are active and yellow and black energy crackles in both his fists ready to be unleashed.

OOC:

He'll use his power blast as a defense if attacked by something he can blast.

The Inhuman also headed off toward the objective. Despite his massive size he was fast, his limbs stretching ahead of him and increasing his speed. He hoped the team would have surprise on their side long enough to neutralize the capability to effectively fight back.

They must have been quite a sight to the two sentries.

OOC how many inches are we from the objective. How far to the man with the radio?

Nightmare calmly puts the scope to his eye, and says, "If they shoot at us, I'll shoot back. Otherwise when we get to the tower you bear right and I'll go left."

OOC: The team is about 500 feet (100") from the nearest tower.

Turn 1

The team begins their breakneck advance on the facility. The closest tower is 500 feet away and the other towers are about 100 feet from the nearest one, arranged in a triangle. The towers are a sturdy construct with an enclosed base and the top of each tower enclosed in glass to keep out the elements.

OOC: Tower 1 is the closest with Tower 2 to the left and Tower 3 to the right of Tower 1.

Onyx flies toward the third tower, rising slowly higher as he speeds over the snow-covered ground. When he gets within about 100 feet of the tower a burst of gold and black energy leaps from his out-stretched fist toward one of the guards.

OOC:

Rolled a 5 to hit with Power Blast. (+3 Acc)

Rolled 11 damage total.

OOC:  INIT 22, Vib defense on, mental defense on.  Osc's first action is move and EVADE.

Sorry to repeat.  HA HA

When the Inhuman reached his target it was clear that taking out the towers would take longer than planned. That meant the antenna needed to be taken out fast. The Inhuman's arm seemed to stretch out become one with one of with the antenna. As it did the antenna seemed to disintegrate and be absorbed by the Inhuman.

With the antenna down and the limited range of handheld radios the team would have have the time needed to complete the job.

Phase 24

19:32, Today: The Inhuman rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18. Disintegration Ray
to hit 18.

19:33, Today: The Inhuman rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15. damage to tower leg.

Not using stretch just special effecting the range of disintegration.

Nightmare watches the tower come closer through the rifle scope, tensing and preparing. "Just toss me inside, should work fine."

OOC: holding action till inside the tower, at which point he'll hit the guard on the left

Lance waited in the cold... dressed more for the snow camouflage than an need of cold protection.  This hurry up and wait crap was what Marine's did... but in this empty desolate place... really put an edge on waiting!

Commander Barnes had put him into position almost three days ago.  If it weren't for Lance's own abilities this would have been an impossible mission... but thanks to Ramses it was an easy insertion.  The Egyptian... made Lance uneasy.. and the spirit of the phoenix he could feel within roiled anxiously whenever the 'entity' contacted him mentally.  There was something going on there... but Lance was too spooked to inquire of the Egyptian... being.  Lance refused to call him a god!  Call Lance old fashioned but he knew there was a God in heaven and he was certain he was not some animal headed myth!  But Ramses power could not be denied.

The Commander had wanted 'eyes on the target' rather than relying solely on satellite footage before sending in his hit team of SMITE operatives.  He wanted no mistakes.. the team had taken quite a beating in the last engagement with the Kremlin Metahuman Team.. he wanted no repeat of that and wanted to make sure.. this target was not just some elaborate trap.

Lance had been inserted with surveillance cameras.  Survival gear for one man and given an extraction point.  He was to get visual confirmation on the base to make certain it was legit and provide backup for the SMITE operatives should the need arise.  His ...as the Commander called it 'unique' gifts would be invaluable should things go sideways.

Lance had no trouble finding the base and set up his blind to watch for a icy-cave ridge.  Waiting for the action to finish.

He was watching at the appointed time... when the the SMITE Team was to be inserted.  He figured they would be hitting the place just before dusk... likely his first sign would be when building started exploding.

But maybe 2 and a half hours after he knew the team was scheduled to be inserted he noticed one of the guards int he tower became agitated... pointing at something...

Then suddenly the whole SMITE Team was charging the compound!

He pondered, "Ah hell... I expected them to at least make the attempt to sneak up! Crap... guns ablazing I guess... would not have been my first choice, but I guess waiting for a sneak infiltration is not gonna happen!"

He noted the team split... and their clear objectives.

"Well, in for a penny in for a pound... best to put the Ruskies in the dark... Generator shack it is!"

Initiative: 19, 4
09:00, Thu 05 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 19 using 1d10+15 ((4)).

Sun Phoenix powers up igniting his flaming aura and calling up his PHOENIX AURA to speed his approach... taking flight...

Activate Flame Powers - 3PR
Auto Defense - Up
Fly 63 mph - easily within flight range [500'ft - 100" {1/2 move}]

From one of the icy bluff over looking the compound a bright second sun appears and streaks across the snowy plain in the form of a large bird composed completely of flames melting the snow below its majestic flight path to smooth ice as it flies into the compound directly toward the radio tower!  At its heart is a man sheathed in flames wearing loosely fitting snow gear over a red and white costume bearing a cloak of red and white.  The fiery bird seeming to be an aura about him it wings at his back as he hovers near one of the compound smaller buildings to aim an hand at the connecting trunk of insulated power cables to unleash a wash of flames the instantly vaporize a small section of the power cables but is specifically careful NOT to begin setting the power generator shack on fire!

Flame Attack at 5" - Called shot at power cable-cluster from Generator shack {19-}, PR=2
23:44, Wed 04 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 1 using 1d20 ((1)). [CRITICAL HIT!!!]
- Not sure what a critical hit does.. can't find any ruling in the RAW
Flame Attack Damage = 7HP
23:51, Wed 04 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 7 using 1d12+1 ((6)).

As the man looks on the rest of the agents it is clear he is a black man with glowing amber eyes and flowing bright red hair.  He gives a thumbs up sign to the SMITE agents.. positioning himself to draw attention fire to himself from any of the guards that might exit the Barracks... As clearly he is the most obvious and bright target in the Area...!

Total Cost: PR=5

Vos knew this was a hit them fast, hit them hard situation.  For once, she hoped her accuracy wasn't cursed by winds, luck or nerves.  And then she sprinted to the tower she'd been assigned at a superhuman burst.  She closed on the tower to get optimal range.

Spinning, she loosed a dart at the man in the tower through the window.  Then without pausing she unleashed another.

OOC: Vos will target the same agent for her second attack, unless her first shot drops him.

INT 46: 16:00, Today: Vosper rolled 7 using 1d20 with rolls of 7. Thrown dart +11 to hit.
16:02, Today: Vosper rolled 6,7 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 6,2,2. 13 total.

16:03, Today: Vosper rolled 1,12 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 1,3,6. Dart damage. 13 total.

As Poco comes up to the top of the ladder in Tower 1, one of the soldiers swears in Russian and whirls on him. He releases a burst of fire from his AK-47 but it goes wild and punches holes through the glass of the tower. He curses yet again and moves back while the other soldier is still next to the ladder.

OOC: Today: Sword of Damocles rolled 20 using 1d20 with rolls of 20. Soldier 2, Tower 1 vs. Poco. (a biiiiig whiff)

Having determined they have been spotted the team explodes into action. Vosper accelerates towards Tower 2, flinging one dart as she nears which penetrates the glass and strikes one soldier and obviously injuring him. Settling into position she flings another dart but this one is altered enough by passing through the glass that it just misses the same soldier.

Poco makes a determined charge and leap to reach Tower 1 and is able to get himself up the ladder to the top where he is met by one of the soldiers whirling on him. The soldier lets loose a burst of fire from his AK-47 which misses wildly, punching holes through the glass.

Onyx flies up near Tower 3, sending a power blast at one of the soldiers. It punches a hole through the glass and strikes one soldier but having seen him coming the soldier is able to roll with the force of the blast.

Inhuman stretches out and moves near the comm tower, grasping it with one hand and dissolving/absorbing a portion of the structure. With enough structure missing the weight of the tower and the guy wires collapse it, pulling it apart into random sections of tubular steel.

Setting himself (and Nightmare who he carries) to vibrating Oscillator flies at speed towards Tower 1, dropping off Nightmare inside to confront the soldiers within with Poco's presence as well.

A fiery bird form makes its way towards the fray from the south, heading towards the center of the facility.

OOC: I am showing Sunphoenix coming in but because his action and move take place *after* the initial burst of inits I will summarize his first action in the next wrap-up. Poco can take his first attack now in 21 and will get his next at 20.

Eddy tore into the soldier before him.

- rolled   4 using 1d20 with rolls of 4. Attk;  +12 bonus.
- rolled 24 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 9,5. Damage.

Poco slashes violently at the soldier that shot at him. He catches the man squarely as he lunges up from the ladder. The vicious blow put the light out of the soldier's eyes as blood flies. The power of the blow launches the soldier backwards and upwards, smashing him into and through the glass where he is cut further as he continues upwards into the frigid air. Moments later the inertia from the strike is dissipated and the soldier falls from about 45-50 feet to land in a broken, wretched heap on the frozen ground and moves no more. The other soldier eyes Poco with a mix of hate and horror from the other side of the tower.

One of the soldiers in Tower 3 points his AK-47 at Onyx but the hero's magnetic powers deflect the incoming burst of rounds after they punch through the glass.

Nightmare tries to hit the remaining soldier in Tower 1 with two swift punches but is not able to get the timing down and misses.

The firebird form eventually gets close enough and shows it to be flames around a winter-garbed person who blasts the power cables from the generator building, melting them in a shower of blue sparks.

OOC: Today: Sword of Damocles rolled 12 using 1d20 with rolls of 12. Soldier 1 Tower 3 vs. Onyx. (Miss due to magnetic defense, take off 1 point of power)

Poco can take his action at 20 but has no movement left this turn. He *can* draw and fire his pistol if he chooses.

Osc chimes into his walkie-talkie, "I just observed a giant fire bird attack the compound.  No, I am not joking."

OOC: Does the team know about SunPhoenix &/or his field placement?

OOC: For ease of keeping things moving, we can just assume the team had some idea Sunphoenix was going in early. In other words I am breaking out the handwavium.

In reply to Sword of Damocles (msg # 85):

[ooc: LOL. Thanks Mr. GM.. I'll be more mindful in the future to consult with you before I drop a goose-egg like this in your lap again!  I was proceeding on the premise that Commander Barnes was kinda vague about where the 'on-sight' intel on the Russian Compound was coming from he mentioned satellite footage but hinted that there might have been something else providing info.. but it was subtly couched and not directly said.  He never directly said there would be no back up to the SMITE team.. again.. Sun Phoenix was only supposed to observe and provide assistance for surviving the environment if things went terribly wrong, not get involved directly in the assault!  So the party not directly knowing of his presence could cause no small amount of suspicion... though clearly he is NOT Russian has no Russian accent and would be able to give the proper 'call and response' command codes to authenticate his identity as a US Marine and member of SMITE.]

OOC: Not changing my post.  A coded way of saying, 'hey, our buddy has joined us!'

Init 20

Eddy turned to the soldier across the way, and snarled that predatory growl that reverberated into the essential, primal soul of humans, installing fear immense.

Using 'Emotion Control: Fear' on the other soldier.
I'm on my phone, and without a rulebook; I ask the GM to make whatever rolls are needed on my behalf

OOC:Today: Sword of Damocles, on behalf of Poco Tehuantl, rolled 4 using 1d20 with rolls of 4. Emotion Control on Soldier 1 Tower 1.

Poco uses 8 power for Emotion Control plus 2 for his 2nd action.

The soldiers in Tower 2 take response to Vosper's blistering assault. The injured one ducks out of her sight back further into the tower, groping for his walkie-talkie. The other one sends a burst of fire at her from his AK-47. Fortunately with her speed and skill all the shots go wide.

Poco sends a mighty roar at the remaining soldier in Tower 1. The soldier grabs his ears, dropping his AK-47. He crouches down some babbling something in Russian and holds his hands up to show he is unarmed.

OOC: The soldiers in Tower 2 are now in the initiative, one of which is obviously raising the alarm. Nightmare and Vosper are up.

Vosper tries to take out the man with the rifle.  This mission seemed a complete botch - they couldn't even ambush a bunch of tower guards.

09:37, Today: Vosper rolled 12 using 1d20 with rolls of 12. Thrown dart +11 to hit.
09:37, Today: Vosper rolled 6,11 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 6,3,5. Total: 17

As he swings, again, on the tower guard, Nightmare calmly informs his opponents, "it would be much better for you to give up, otherwise I might try to hurt you."
Having, apparently, calmed a little, his swing is much more accurate.

OOC: 00:32, Today: Nightmare rolled 6,8 using 1d20,1d6+7 with rolls of 6,1. atk/dmg on tower guard.

OOC: Soldier 2 Tower 3 misses Onyx. Both Nightmare and Vosper hit their targets but they are still standing (Nightmare's target is still afraid of Poco but will defend himself against Nightmare).

Onyx, Inhuman, and Oscillator are up. (Oscillator there is only one soldier left in Tower 1, the other got launched and the remaining on has Nightmare on him and is afraid of Poco.)

Oscillator vibra-flies Nightmare into Tower 1, drops him off, and vibra-flies into Tower 2,
possibly surprising the soldier there by phasing through a wall.

Hovering over the soldier, Osc orders the soldier to surrender -- but as Osc speaks no Russian,
he just says "Surrender now!" in English and holds his action.

OOC:  Apparently new plan is Osc drops Nightmare in Tower 1 & then flies to Tower 2.
The plan changed, so Osc changed his move per GM.

Having disintegrated the antenna, Inhuman turned his focus back to the watch tower. The crack of the AK 47 meant the rest of the installation would be reacting.

"Onyx I got this. Lock down the barracks!"

Needing to eliminate enemy in the tower the Inhuman's body stretched upward and launched toward the window at the top of the tower and smashed through the window. Like an avalanche his massive and horrific form falling upon his foes before they could react.

OOC using stretching to reach the window

Once he breached the tower window, the Inhuman attacked the guards. " Vot chudo Sovetskoy nauki!" Inhuman said in Russian while striking out at the guards, the Inhuman's ability to disrupt the very molecules of the human body tore at the two guards within.



Three disintegration attacks at +2 to hit. Multiple targets.
00:55, Today: The Inhuman rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. attack 1
00:56, Today: The Inhuman rolled 11 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 9. damage 1.
00:55, Today: The Inhuman rolled 3 using 1d20 with rolls of 3. attack 2
00:56, Today: The Inhuman rolled 13 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 11. damage 2.

Onyx nods at Inhuman and flies toward the barracks, but not before casting an angry glance at the soldier he did not being down.

OOC:

Could I get a description of the barracks? I don't want to narrate action based on false assumptions.

OOC: The barracks are near where the comm tower was. It is a squat building of about 20' by 60' with a door at each of the 20' ends. Windows are very small and spaced widely to maintain structural integrity against the winds. Construction appears to be concrete draped in camouflage netting so it blends in better to the surroundings when viewed from afar. Due to the brightness of the time of day you can't see any movement or details of anything through the windows from where you are.

OOC: Note.. Sun Phoenix is positioned to be floating in the air out in front of the Barracks as he ranged attacked the power cables of the Generator shack.  He was hoping; if guards came rushing out of the Barracks~ they would clearly see him and attack him instead of hinder the SMITE Team's actions.

With a wave of his hand, Onyx reaches out with his magnetic powers in an attempt to move some of the metal debris from the comm tower to block the barracks door nearest him.

OOC:

Rolled a 16 "to hit" the debris. May have missed, as odd as that seems. ACC +3

Can lift 3,150 pounds of metal, so will move as much as he can in one action to block the door.

OOC: I would say for an unattended object you would only miss on a natural 20. It is more for when the object is in possession of/being controlled by someone else that it gets trickier.

Vosper whirls and flings another dart at the soldier still in her view, burying it in his side. He returns fire with a burst of rounds from his AK-47, one of which strikes her while the other two go over her head.

Nightmare punches the cowering soldier who does try to defend himself. The blow does land but he seems to have been able to roll with it.

The other soldier in Tower 3 fires a burst at Onyx but it is again deflected wide by his magnetic prowess.

Onyx uses his magnetic power to pick up a sizable chunk of comm tower debris and places it blocking one of the doors from the barracks.

Inhuman pours his bulk up into Tower 3, taunting the pair of soldiers and ripping at their forms with devouring energy blasts. Both soldiers are hit squarely and appear to be in dire straights.

Oscillator phases into Tower 2 to support Vosper and views the situation. He remains watchful for what either soldier plans to do, yelling in English for the soldiers to surrender.

That turns out to be a well-reasoned plan as one of the soldiers fires a burst of rounds from his AK-47 but the weapon jams after the burst which causes the soldier to curse strongly.

OOC: Vosper is hit by one bullet for 8 points of damage. At her current power she can roll all the damage into power or take a little of it and look to her regeneration to heal it between turns.

Poco is now up in Tower 1 where there is one remaining soldier obviously afraid of him but willing to defend himself against Nightmare. Barring circumstances I won't do another big update until the end of the turn.

Eddy knde the situation in this tower was under control.

Nightmare was likely to deal with this soldier in short order.

In the meantime, Eddy took a moment to look out the window and see how the assault on the other towers was going.

OOC: Oscillator's HTH attack drops the soldier. Soldier 1 Tower 3 hits Inhuman for 9 damage (4 taken by Invulnerability with 5 rolled into Power).

Sunphoenix is up.

The fiery phoenix enshrouded man's main objective of cutting the power to the facility handled he notes Onyx's baring one of the Barracks exits with a sizable chunk of debris from the comm tower and moves to position himself more directly in front of one of the uncovered exits to the Barracks keeping himself in clear line of view to draw fire... from any that might exit the building.

Taking in the combat situation as the SMITE team makes it assault... the man turns his attention to Tower 1 and tower 3 seeing as two of the SMITE Team.. Vosper and Oscillator are taking on Tower 2 and not wanting to take the chance of hitting one of his allies he takes careful aim at the Soldier in Tower 1 that fired a burst from his AK-47 at Onyx, ineffectively, and the Soldier in Tower 3 that hit Inhuman with a burst~ firing off a dual blast of fire at both targets from both outstretched hands!

Yelling, "Onyx, Inhuman! 'Fire in the hole~' heads up!"

Move: slight adjustment 5 to 10" maybe to cover other exit of Barracks.
Mutiple Attack: w/Flame Powers-Blast {21-}
Flame Attack 1# = 05:31, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 10 using 1d20 with rolls of 10. Multiple Attack 1# w/Flame Powers-Fire Blast. {Hit!}

OOC: Sunphoenix finishes off the 2 soldiers in Tower 3, Soldier 1 Tower 1 shoots Nightmare for 9 damage (all 9 roll into Power)

Nightmare and Vosper are up then I summarize the last few actions and roll all inits for the new turn.

Nightmare looks over at Poco, decides they're pretty much done in the tower, and gives the cowering soldier a rifle butt to the head for safety's sake. Speaking for the soldier's benefit, he says, "Sleep now, what dreams may come will not trouble you."

OOC: took off PR for second action and rolling with attack, rolled to hit soldier with rifle, but did not know what modifiers the rifle had to the attack, so left them out
16:44, Today: Nightmare rolled 9,11 using d20,d6+7 with rolls of 9,4. atk/dmg (unmod), hit soldier with rifle butt.

"Well that went smoothly..." said Osc, to no one but himself.  (No idea if Vosper is near enough to hear...)

Osc thought they were getting better with practice and missions, and they were also becoming more independent.  Did they really need a field leader now?  He would sit on his dislike for this 'sergeant & grunt' setup ... for now.  At least Muldoon acted like he knew what he was doing.  Mmm, sort of.

"Hey Firey, turn your beacon off!  This is a low visibility op." he said imto the radio.

Whirling, Vos threw her dart at the last gunman in her tower.

00:07, Today: Vosper rolled 3 using 1d20 with rolls of 3. Thrown dart +11 to hit.
00:08, Today: Vosper rolled 5,12 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 5,7,2. 17 total.

Poco leaves the last soldier in Tower 1 for Nightmare as he looks around out the window to see how the others are faring.

Oscillator smites the soldier that shot at him with his HART, dropping him to the floor of the tower in a crumpled heap.

One soldier in Tower 3 shoots a burst of rounds at Inhuman, one of them striking home but not even phasing the big man.

Sunphoenix flies up near to Tower 3, taking aim at each of the soldiers within. He sends a bolt of flame at each. Both strike home, dropping each of the soldiers to the floor.

The remaining soldier in Tower 1 keeps Nightmare between him and Poco but does draw his pistol and shoots at Nightmare. The bullet hits but does little besides knocking a little wind out of him.

Nightmare strikes the remaining soldier solidly with the butt of the sniper rifle, knocking him out in one shot.

Vosper whirls and sends another dart into the remaining soldier in Tower 2 and drops him to the floor.

Everything is quiet aside from the wind.....for the moment, as it is unknown what may come from the barracks.

OOC: Thus ends the 1st turn of the battle. Initiatives will be posted for the team for Turn 2, but until you see targets it is unknown what the enemy brings.

Non action post.

With his targets down, Inhuman looked out the window at the fiery figure and yelled "Sunphoenix secure the barracks.".

Thumbing his radio "Primary targets are down. Move onto secondary targets."


Primary targets were the towers and the antenna. Secondary targets are the barracks, labs and garage.


Ossy is to take point on the lab.

OOC:  Guess we need an updated map?  (if there is one)
Wrote some more in OOC.

---

Sensing Vosper is nearby, Oscillator calls out to her (not over radio),
"Hey Vosper, looks like it's my lucky day ... um, because we're teamed up, I mean,
not because we are in this subzero hell battling Russian soldiers to save the world..."

OOC: Remember, you do need to leave the barracks intact so the Russians have somewhere to shelter until they are rescued. You will be destroying the underground facility where some of them were staying and the research is done.

Also, from Msg #27 in this thread:

There is a large central building, definitely permanent-looking while scattered around it are a number of other structures; garages, a large antenna, a barracks, and three towers around the facility evenly spaced. No vehicles are in view but they are likely in the garages to protect them from the cold.

Eddy leapt out of Tower 1, through its window.
Landing below, in the snow, he headed off at a lope towards the barracks.

If Eddy gets there in his move action, and gets an attack action, he intends to rip the door off the barracks, keeping it in front of him as a shield.

ST please make any necessary roll for me, to keep the game moving

Osc was supposed to take the lead on securing the lab.  The lab had been spotted.

Thus, Osc spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Ahem!  Alright team, let's get a 'splinter group' to accompany me to secure primary objective.  I'm hoping for Nighty, Quickfeet, Pussycat, and Army Squishy -- but Squishy can call it as he wants.

Please Flamer and Brightlight keep out of the lab!  Too much risk of explosion!  But you'd be great to maintain surveillance & alert us."  He shuts off the walkie-talkie.

And then Osc hovers into the air, saying to Vosper "Codenames -- you think they worked?  See you there, I'm picking up Nightmare."  He vibra-flies to Bldg 1 to grab Nightmare.

---

OOC:
FIRST MOVE - VIBRA-FLY TO NIGHTMARE - EVADE

I'm fine with changing my actions if/when Muldoon makes a different call, or if there's a flaw in this gameplan.

"Never a dull moment," Vos breathed.  Then, as Osc suggested their next moves via code, she quirked a brow beneath her goggles and said, "'Quickfeet'? What, 'Vosper' wasn't code-namey enough for ya?"

But she did as he asked, running escort and weaving a defensive pattern as she went.

Non action

Hearing Oscillator over the radio Inhuman quickly replied over the walkie talkie to clarify the team's next move.We need to lock down the barracks before they can regroup. Poco, Onyx and Phoenix on the barracks. Ossy, Vosper and Nightmare on the lab Over.

That left him in reserve providing over watch and free to reinforce where needed. Once the barracks was handled others could be reassigned as needed. He would commit as soon as he saw how much resistance there was at the barracks.


Trying not to be too bossy as that gets old fast. But before things get confused I posted this to clarify.

*Inhuman using the character names. If the GM suggests that the setting requires additional code names assume they were used in place

Nightmare radios a single word, "roger", before he puts the scope of the rifle to his eye and scans as many doorways of other buildings as he can. A few beats later, he radios again, "probably should check the garages, may be heavy weapons there."

OOC: scanning the other buildings and waiting for his ride, Nightmare holds his action to shoot anyone coming out of the other buildings

OOC: Not sure where/when I should post. Several people go multiple times before I act even once so place this where appropriate in the actions.

Sun Phoenix hovers down to the barracks front doors Replying on the communications to Oscillator, "My primary purpose here was only supposed to be surveillance 'eyes on target', with a secondary objective of Team backup should things go sideways for the team infiltration or extraction. Commander wanted none of you endangered due to environment exposure.  But since you decided to go in ...'Hot'; I felt breaking mission parameters to assist was appropriate and more efficient.  I'll probably get an earful from Commander on breaking mission ops plan but I'll stand by it. Can do, Oscillator, on it."

To Inhuman's appending commands across the comm.. he responds with a simple, "Acknowledged."


Sun Phoenix was not sure who was the unit's C.O. but decided it best just to follow as best orders that did not contradict and worry over who's 'in-charge' later.

Close to the building now Sun Phoenix cancels his phoenix aura 'banner' for convenience, reducing it to only a man on fire, not wanting to purposely burn the building down.  Expecting attack, he moves to the side of the door to the barracks, drilled in Marine training kicking in, and kicks it in not so much to provide actual cover from an attack but to obscure himself in the door way so its harder to target him.  His drill sergeant would have called it a 'sloppy' door opening... likely to get him shot... but with his powered defenses getting hit was of little concern as speed of entry.

Sun Phoenix yelled out in Russian, "Мы американские мета-человек агенты, вы окружены нет никакого спасения! Surrender, и вы не будет нанесен вред .. ни влево замерзнуть."
{Translation: We are American meta-human agents, you are surrounded there is no escape!  Surrender and you will not be harmed.. nor left to freeze to death.}

OOC: So everyone through 30 if you want to move you can or you can hold actions, because that is when things are going to start happening. Other people may want to edit their posts if they were moving after 30 in the count.

Vosper evaded for her 47 and will hold her 32.

Glancing at Osc, she can't help but smile as SunPhoenix explains himself.  "So you were the secret backup, and you blew off orders to help us out?" she asked, her crisp British accent carrying over the comm.

Grinning, she said, "You'll fit in just fine, mate.  Welcome to the zoo."

Editted my post, above

OOC:  Osc goes on 24, so I'll stick with
FIRST MOVE - VIBRA-FLY TO NIGHTMARE - EVADE

Vosper takes an evasive pattern of movement as she moves towards the central building, keeping ready for anything else to pop up.

Poco jumps down from the tower and runs to the unblocked barracks entrance. With little effort he tears the door from its hinges and advances into the barracks, the door held as a shield. Within he finds 6 soldiers armed with AK-47s looking at him grimly.

A moment later Oscillator feels two separate vibrations. One as air is displaced a distance away and a second deep thrumming that other people feel rather than hear.

Vosper however is on the ready and easily turns towards the sounds, seeing a quartet of winter-garbed people appear out of nowhere about 300 feet back from Tower 1 in the direction the team had come from, 3 of them touching the one in front of them. As they appear one of them suddenly changes from a garbed person into a 9+ foot tall bear and another emits a loud low tone and rises up into the air as it spreads its arms and fabric extends between the arms and legs, moving evasively. The one in the front takes up a martial arts pose while the one behind her moves slightly to the right, gesturing idly with one hand and a large piece of twisted metal from the tower begins to move rapidly towards her. The two that aren't a bear or flying definitely are smaller than the other two.

OOC: Aside from Vosper who is holding and Poco who is in with the soldiers, Oscillator can warn everyone else and people can choose to spend 2 power out of turn to change their facing towards that direction. The 4 Soviets are 60" back from Tower 1 in the direction the team came from and 77" from the central building at the moment.

Also, with 100 feet between the towers the installation is much smaller than I pictured. I am making it 200 feet (40") between towers but without any penalization of people for the change, everyone got where they got to with no issues. So the central building is about 85 feet (17") from each tower leaving plenty of room for the other buildings within the tower perimeter.

"Contact with Russian superteam!"

OOC:
Any chance Osc can identify any od the supers?  He does have a govt database *AND* was studying...  Not saying a 'Detect Weaknesss' or anything, but maybe some idea of who's who (saw names in INIT list) & what they are known to be able to do?
Seems like, depending on their Level & popularity, Osc might have a chance to ID each?

Please; the 6 soldiers in the barracks with Eddy, are they all close enough that he could charge them with the metal door and conceivably barrel into all of most of them?

OOC: Actually, since they have all acted and most of the rest of the team is up next no one need bother spending 2 power to change facing since you can all do it on your turns (aside from Vosper who has the held action and Poco who is facing off with 6 soldiers).

Eddy roared in challenge to the six soldiers before him, and with metal door in hand as a shield, leapt at the nearest one and raked him deep and personal like.

- rolled   3 using 1d20 with rolls of 3. Attk:  +12 bonus.
- rolled 23 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 3,10. Damage.

Vos spun and saw the Soviet supers.  Bloody wonderful.  So much for any kind of surprise approach.  Well, it was inevitable, she thought.  Might as well get to it.

Poco was already barging into the soldiers, using the door as a shield.  Vosper smiled.  Her first inclination was to help Eddy, but she knew he could handle himself.  And she wasn't going to give Muldoon the satisfaction of her waiting on his barked orders.

Everyone of the Reds looked pretty dodgy, except for the big Bear.  Of course, that was probably because he was so tough he didn't NEED to be dodgy... but what the hell.  Given her terrible track record for accuracy, she'd go for the easy-to-hit, tough-to-hurt target.

Spinning up some momentum, she hurled a dart.  "Osc, step lively!" she called.  And let fly with her dart...

11:55, Today: Vosper rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18. Thrown dart +11 to hit.

OOC: Of course.  She could miss the ground with that roll.

Onyx sees the hunk of metal move and is tempted to go after the woman with the powers similar to his own, but he recalls the last fight and thinks that perhaps they'd do better if they concentrated their attacks.

Seeing Vosper hurl a dart at the Bear, he zips toward the beast and unleashes a gold and black burst of energy at the same target.

OOC:

To hit: 9 (+3 Acc) (Power Blast
Dmg: 20

Flew to within 25" of bear before attacking. Flying about 5" off ground.

OSC still EVADES &
(picking up Nightmare now seems unnecessary)
vibra-flies out of HTH range & straight into lab,
Vib Defense on.

If he ID's any of the baddies  (dunno yet), he says it into radio as he flies.

Nightmare smiles slightly, hunkers down a little (in the tower) and watches the new arrivals. Obviously, he's gonna shoot them. It's also obvious he's waiting for a good shot.

OOC: hold action to see which way the opponents break, whichever one leads a charge towards the tower he is in will receive his first shot when within a double handful of game inches

Osc says into walkie talkies, "(Medved is) the Bear creature, he's very smart & has nasty claws.

The booming flyer (is Shepot), Whisper, with sonic powers, flying, & possible sonar or radar sense.

No idea on the other two yet -- they have to show more of what they do."

Osc changes tactics, moving (still far above HtH reach) to engage one of the flyers (Whisper) & not heading to the lab yet.  Osc weaves and dodges as he flies upwards.

"I guess this means Sergeant Major is still in charge, folks."

No plan ever survives combat. Inhuman thought as he see the Russian supers.

Keying his mic and speaking into his walkie talkie "Good work Ossy."

Knowing the combat capabilities of the big cat. Muldoon trusted him to handle the soldiers on his own "Poco take down the barracks. Ossy if you can do recover the charges and blow the lab."

"The rest of the team lets take the Soviet supers. Target the Bear first over." As he spoke Inhuman launched out of the window and rolled into a ball. Rolling toward the enemy the Inhuman regained his more humanoid shape and one arm reached out for the Bear before his other arm reached for the Whisper.

The Inhuman had to get between the Hear and the rest of the team. If he packed the punch Oscy suggested, the Inhuman needed to make himself a target.

Disintegration Ray 2pp + 2pp extra 25" away from the bear.

21:12, Today: Master Sgt Patrick Muldoon rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17. disintegrate.
21:14, Today: Master Sgt Patrick Muldoon rolled 16 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 14. damage 1.
21:15, Today: Master Sgt Patrick Muldoon rolled 11 using 1d20 with rolls of 11. disintegrate 2.
21:15, Today: Master Sgt Patrick Muldoon rolled 6 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 4. damage  2.


OOC if anyone wants to do something other than what was order feel free they are your characters.

Oscillator takes note of the arriving Super Soviets and is able to ID two of them from the database over the comm. He flies up towards Whisper, moving evasively.

Poco tears into one of the 6 soldiers in the barracks, dropping him to the ground. The other 5 initially look grimly horrified but he notices they all look up as if thinking for a moment before all nodding. They tear out of the barracks away from Poco, weaving and dodging.

Vosper made a little move then spun and released a dart towards Bear but the sudden appearance must have distracted her as the dart goes wide.

Nightmare waits in Tower 1 with the rifle, looking to see who will move on him first.

Onyx likewise moves towards the big bear and sends a blast of energy at it. The blast strikes home but the beast seems to take most of it in stride and growls in response.

Inhuman drops from the tower and rolls towards Bear himself, barking orders into the comm as he goes. Stretching out in 2 directions he sends bolts of entropy at both Bear and Whisper but they both go wide.

Whisper, a field of deep sound resonating from him and down to the ground focuses on Oscillator who is heading towards him. Timing the attack just so Oscillator is raked by a ultra-high and ultra-low frequency sound blast that shakes him and makes his ears ring.

OOC: Oscillator is hit by a sound blast for 16 damage, he can roll up to 10 of it unto power (you can decide) and the rest to hit points. The soldiers are all moving out towards Tower 1 and it will be several phases before they get to their position so Vosper and Sunphoenix can intecept if they wish (the soldiers are evading).

To be clear, Vosper and Sunphoenix are up.

"SON of a @#%@!$^#&!" Vosper cursed.  She could hit a bullseye 8 times out of ten in practice, and yet as soon as the chips were down, she couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.  Gritting her teeth in frustration she tried again, zipping around to the rear and hurling a dart at the Bear's fat backside.

12:11, Today: Vosper rolled 14 using 1d20 with rolls of 14. Thrown dart +11 to hit.
12:12, Today: Vosper rolled 4,10 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 4,3,4. 14 total if it hits.

In reply to Vosper (msg # 136):

Sun Phoenix turned following the Major's battle plan, muttering to himself; 'Not everyone can be the General.. someone's got to follow orders... might as well be me!'

As he saw Poco kick in the other barracks door and tear into one of the Russian soldiers, they didn't bolt which was a testament to their training he pondered respectfully but.. he also noted the Soldiers reaction from the angle of his view.

Taking flight Sun Phoenix left the barracks battle to the feline.. clearly he had it in hand.. or paw~ whatever.  Turning his flight path he flew in over Vosper to provide her with some air cover backup... and another target for foes to aim at.

Triggering his mic for the comms, "Warning team, I saw the reaction the Russian soldiers had in the barracks.. their receiving orders... I think one of the Russian meta-humans is a telepath!  Vosper.. I'm on your 6 o'clock, high. I'm going to try to take out their 'cabbie'...!"

Sun Phoenix aims a fire blast not ONLY at the bear .. but also at the one that all of the Russian Meta-humans were touching on their arrival... attempting to set them both on fire in the process!

Flame Attack 1# = 16:06, Wed 18 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 3 using 1d20 ((3)). Multiple Attack 1# w/Flame Powers-Fire Blast at Teleporter.  [ HIT! ]
Flame Attack 1# Damage = 16:19, Wed 18 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 5 using 2d6+1 ((3,1))

Flame Attack 2# = 16:08, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 19 using 1d20 with rolls of 19. Multiple Attack 2# w/Flame Powers-Fire Blast at Bear. [ Hit?? I am very accurate with my... pea-shooters 19- should hit without any funky extra defenses for the Bear.  I hope or I just wasted a lot of power for nothing! 'shrug']
Flame Attack 2# Damage = 16:18, Wed 18 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 6 using 2d6+1 ((1,4)).

Ok. Now special attack rolls to set them a-fire.. winter clothing, fur...etc...

16:22, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 12 using 1d20 with rolls of 12. Special Attack - Set [ Teleporter ] on fire.
{sorry forgot to remove +1 from previous roll}

16:24, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 4 using 1d20 with rolls of 4. Special Attack - Set [ Bear ] on fire.

Total Cost: PR=8  [Wow.. succeed for nothing is still fail! Fear me and my pea shooters...! 'sigh' Maybe I'll manage to sun-burn them?]

Vosper zips towards Bear then angles to a flanking position. She whirls and hurls a dart, striking home solidly on the hairy beast but it seems to roll with some of the strike. It does draw a freshet of blood from its hide.

Sunphoenix soars over to cover Vosper, speaking into the comm. He tries to target the one that seemingly teleported the Soviet supers in to set it on fire but goes wide, disrupting his next thought to do the same to Bear.

The five soldiers continue to hustle towards the conflict taking place near Tower 1, dodging and weaving with their AK-47s in the ready position.

Rising to Inhuman's challenge and orders to focus on him, Bear begins to move towards him. He times his movement to coincide with his companion and tears his claws into Inhuman as the man tries to keep each on his flank.

The unknown Soviet super now has a large mass of debris orbiting around it at a good clip as well as ducking and moving. It looks over at another chunk of debris which rises from the icy ground and speeds at Inhuman, striking him solidly in the flank.

The Soviet teleporter, perhaps predictably, vanishes from its position. Unseen by the others it appears in the barracks behind Poco, striking hard an instant before the cat-man is aware enough to whirl around.

OOC: Inhuman is struck twice for 25 points and 13 points. Please let me know how much he is rolling to Power and how much to HP. Poco is struck from behind for 19 points. Since he was surprised he cannot roll any into Power so all 19 go to HP. Do you want to roll the 19% KO chance or shall I?

Nightmare, Onyx, Oscillator, Inhuman, and Poco are up (assuming both make their KO rolls).

Evade -6 enemy attacks

20:38, Today: The Inhuman rolled 97 using 1d100 with rolls of 97. ko.
20:38, Today: The Inhuman rolled 88 using 1d100 with rolls of 88. ko.

Despite taking two viscous blows the Inhuman shakes off both the attacks. Having drawn the attacks of the enemy the big man takes a more defensive stance and prepares to deal with that next barrage of blows.

" Vy , kazhetsya, dostoynyy sopernik buryy medved' . No vy dolzhny budete sdelat' luchshe, chem pobedit' beschelovechnykh ". The Inhuman said as his stood after the brutal assault.


English Translation "You seem to be a worthy opponent Red Bear. But you will have to do better than that to defeat the Inhuman."

As he scans the field, Nightmare sees the flying soviet super lash out at Oscillator. I bet I could keep you quiet, he thinks, and finally takes his shot with the rifle.

OOC: using his held action, Nightmare attacks
I don't know what the scope is set at, so I've considered it the minimum +6. I didn't specify when it was loaded what rounds were in it, but would have used the sleep rounds if I were paying attention.
Sniper Rifle: +6 to hit (+7-10 w. 2x-8x scope, +9-12 w. scope/bipod), 1d10+1 dmg, Range: Ax18, Ammo 6; weight 15 lbs. (as configured)
 Sleep Rounds (2 mags of 6): 1d6+1 dmg with Paralysis payload attack (Very Difficult END save if successful or fall a sleep as though hit with a Paralysis Ray attack; normal "wake-up" rolls apply with cumulative +1 to the roll every 10 minutes)
00:43, Today: Nightmare rolled 2,7,2 using d20,d20,d6+1 with rolls of 2,7,1. atk,carrier,dmg rifle shot on teleporter
+4 accuracy, +6 scope on rifle (minimum), 6 points of damage (2 from rifle, +4 heightened attack), carrier Paralysis attack roll is 7 (not sure whether the scope bonus or accuracy counts here)
then waits for the victim of his attack to fly at the tower so he could attack him face to face
This message was last edited by the player at 04:10, Sat 21 Mar 2015.

- rolled 77 using 1d100 with rolls of 77. 19% chance to be knocked out.


Eddy growled as his mice/toythings ran away.
And then something hit him from behind.

Barely without thought, he turned and raked whatever it was.
- rolled 5 using 1d20 with rolls of 5. Attack;  +12 bonus to hit.
- rolled 22 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 5,7. Damage.


Crossed off another 2PR for this Attack, and another 7 to 'roll with' the knock back

Onyx swings high and to the left, launching another blast at the Bear. Take down one before going to another," he thinks to himself even as he watches the metal using Soviet.

Perhaps his attention is attracted too much that way as his blast does not fly as true as the first one.

OOC:

I assume I missed.

Rolled 19 with +3 ACC on Power Blast.

If hit, did 9 dmg.

Oscillator would roll with as much as possible, plus he has a Kevlar vest.

Rolled 5 using 1d100 with rolls of 5. Ko save.
I'm figuring I'm KO'd?

Nightmare works the bolt on the rifle and fires again.

OOC: once again, Nightmare attacks with the rifle
 Sniper Rifle: +6 to hit (+7-10 w. 2x-8x scope, +9-12 w. scope/bipod), 1d10+1 dmg, Range: Ax18, Ammo 6; weight 15 lbs. (as configured)
  Sleep Rounds (2 mags of 6): 1d6+1 dmg with Paralysis payload attack (Very Difficult END save if successful or fall a sleep as though hit with a Paralysis Ray attack; normal "wake-up" rolls apply with cumulative +1 to the roll every 10 minutes)
 then waits for the victim of his attack to fly at the tower so he could attack him face to face
02:54, Today: Nightmare rolled 6,10,3 using d20,d20,d6+1 with rolls of 6,10,2. Nightmare shoots again at Whisper.
 +4 accuracy, +6 scope on rifle (minimum), 7 points of damage (3 from rifle, +4 heightened attack), carrier Paralysis attack roll is 10 (not sure whether the scope bonus or accuracy counts here)

Even though he shrugs off the blows, Inhuman decides to make it harder for the Soviets to hit him and starts to move and weave.

Oscillator, his senses and form rattled by the multifrequency sonic attack, starts to lose consciousness but is able to set himself down on the icy ground before he blacks out.

Nightmare takes one shot at Whisper from the tower, striking him hard and drawing his attention. The second shot also strikes home, this time drawing some blood and the Soviet's eyes droop for a moment before he shakes his head and gathers himself.

Onyx continues to move about in the air to provide support against Bear but this time the bolt of energy goes wide, blasting a hole into the icy ground.

Poco collects himself at the far side of the barracks, whirls, and hurls himself at the short Soviet behind him. He moves quickly, his strike so sure...on target...but his vicious swipe passes right through the person who he can now see is a black haired young woman.

The 5 soldiers finally reach their positions and sweep the sky for targets. Deciding on Onyx they all coordinate to fire at once, sending a hail of bullets at him. Most of them miss outright but a few are deflected by his magnetic powers.

Whisper, struck twice HARD by Nightmare's bullets, levels himself off near the tower. Glaring at Nightmare he opens his mouth and a piercing, vibrating shriek issues forth causing the sniper rifle to shatter into pieces. Nightmare's hands sting from the effect and his ears are ringing.

OOC: Oscillator is KO'ed and on the ground. He will get a wake-up roll between turns but someone can use an action to give him an extra chance to wake-up (Make Int save at -2 to give a +2 bonus to the wake-up roll). Nightmare's sniper rifle was shattered by a special sonic attack (no damage to him).

"Shite," Vos cursed as Osc pinwheeled to the ground.  She sprinted towards him in a burst of speed.  Fortunately he didn't hit hard.

"Come on now, Ossy, no time for nappin'," she breathed as she shook him in an attempt to bring him around.

OOC: Attempt to wake Oscillator.
08:03, Today: Vosper rolled 16 using 1d20 with rolls of 16. Int save.
No +2.  At least that wasn't a miss on a villain.  Osc, you get a wake up roll.

"Gaaah..." moans Osc, sprawled out on the chilly ground.

OOC: Oscillator, your save base number is based on your Endurance score and compared to the table in the House Rules section. In your case with a 15 Endurance your base save is 12 or less, -8 for being a Very Difficult save means you need a 4 or less on 1d20. If Vosper made her check it would be a 6 or less. You will also get another wake-up roll between turns. So re-roll your save on a d20, looking for a 4 or less.

"Blurble..."  Osc laid on the ground, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

---

Oscillator rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18. End save / wake up.

Not my lucky day, eh?

Sun Phoenix is annoyed at his shots just barely missing but can see its time to step up his game.

Shifting his direction of flight he follows Vosper as she goes to assist the downed Oscillator, staying 30 feet over her to provide overwatch... and another target for foes to aim at... he shifts his position to get a rear {if possible} or at least flanking shot at Whisper... AND keep up fire on the Bear...

Again another dual blast of Fire lashes out at both targets...

"Suckers are hard to nail down... !"

Over the comms, "Teleporter rabbited.. lost eyes on 'him'... "

07:25, Sun 22 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 7 using 1d20 ((7)).
07:25, Sun 22 Mar 2015: Sunphoenix rolled 20 using 1d20 ((20)).
Ah well... NOW dice roller is now being contrary...

Total Cost = 8 PR

Vosper zips over to where Oscillator lays unconscious and tries to roust him. Despite her efforts he remains unconscious and she stays by his side.

Sunphoenix follows Vosper to provide aerial cover. He sends bolts of flame at both Bear and Whisper but his timing is off and they go wide.

Despite Inhuman's defensive movement, Bear is able to time his strike perfectly and rakes the hero with a vicious swipe of his claws.

The soldier Poco had taken out earlier lays on the floor of the barracks, moaning and bleeding.

OOC: Inhuman is hit by Bear's claws for 22 damage, let me know how you want to account for the damage after his limited invulnerability (how much to hit points and how much to power).

None action post reaction to Bear's attack phase 1

The Inhuman takes another powerful blow and is still standing. Seeing the way the fight was going, he knew the team needed to act fast if they were going to accomplish their mission.

Vosper was fast enough she could preset the charges with almost no time left on the detonators and drop them around the lab and run away before anyone could stop her.

"Vosper if you can't wake him up fast you will have to forget Oss. You need to finish the job!" The Inhuman ordered. Ossy was the best one for the job of blowing the lab, but they were running out of time.

Turn 3

And the battle continues on the icy wastes of Antarctica...

OOC: Oscillator is still unconscious at the start of the turn. His chance to make a wake-up roll this turn is at 20 but obviously others can spend actions to give him additional chances.

At the start of the turn Vosper, Poco, Whisper, Caress of Steel, Shadow's Kiss, the soldiers, and Inhuman are all still Evading.

Before the Teleporter could flee, Eddy decided to give him a good reason to do so ... and not come back.


Special Attack to the head:
- rolled 5 using 1d20 with rolls of 5. Attack:  +12 bonus.
- rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. Attack:  +12 bonus.

- rolled 20 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 2,8. Damage.

"Come on, Ozzy, we ain't got all day," Vosper breathed.  She knew the battle was raging, but her contributions were typically to waste darts into thin air.  She kept her eye on the battlefield and was wary of teleporting arseholes who might pop up behind her.

OOC: Evasion.

OOC: Whisper moves to engage Sunphoenix, his sonic attack foiled by the Adaptation defense. Take off 1 power for the defense use. I will do an update once a bunch more go.

Vosper is up again.
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:34, Sun 22 Mar 2015.

11:33, Today: Vosper rolled 13 using 1d20 with rolls of 13. Int save. Think that fails?

"Wake up," she implored, shaking him one more time.

OOC: Caress of Steel sets up Evasion, Bear misses Inhuman (as long as you are willing to spend 2 power to change facing so he isn't flanking), and Shadow's Kiss hits Poco for 15 (you can roll up to 12 of that into power). She is no longer evading, still not easy to hit but MUCH easier.

Onyx, Nightmare, Poco, and Sunphoenix are up. (I will update after they go)

Nightmare shakes his hands and comments, "gotta remember to get another o' those".
He sends Whisper a dirty look, and then whips out his bolas, twirls them twice and hurls them, with uncanny accuracy, at the flying super.

OOC: this roll couldn't have happened at a better time
14:58, Today: Nightmare rolled 1,3,8 using d20,d6,d3+7 with rolls of 1,3,1. throw bolas at Whisper, atk/dmg.
can I claim to have wrapped Whisper's arms to his side with that?

The plink of bullets off his magnetic shield is a concern, and certainly one Onyx would not normally ignore, but the plan is the plan, and he's going to stick with it this time.

He does fly to put himself at some distance from the soldiers but still within easy striking range of the Bear.

A black and gold burst of power erupts from his fist and strikes the Bear again.

OOC:

To hit: 4 +3 ACC
Dmg: 10 (below average)

I can't quite visualize the battle field, but the goal here is to be in a spot where he his within 20" or so of Bear and more than 30" from the soldiers so they take a penalty to hit him. If that is not possible, that is fine.

Sunphoenix grimaces... frustration clear in his expression.

One bright spot though.. he did mange to draw the the Soviet meta - Whisper's attention to waste an attack on him instead of Vosper or Nightmare.

The cosmic fire enshrouded his body only stir slightly as his body can withstand the surface of a star.. a blast of 'air' vibrations is nothing compared to the thunder of a solar flare within a star's coronasphere.

Sun Phoenix shrugs the blast off with little effort.... and decides to return the favor...

Sun Phoenix Moves to position himself with Nightmare on the opposite side of Whisper.. he will have to decide who he is going to face or flee the flank maneuver...

"Ешьте космического огня «товарищ»!"
{Translation: Eat Cosmic fire 'comrade'!}

Cutting loose with a blast of flames at Whisper...

Move: however many inches needed to set up flank attack with Nightmare on Whisper.
22:42, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15. Fire Blast at Whisper.
22:51, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 4 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 2,1. Fire Blast Damage.
['Sigh' Maybe I should use an AK-47 instead? Meh.. probabaly missed anyways.]

Total Cost: 2 PR

"Uggghhh."

"Wuuggaah wuggahh."


Oscillator rolled 2 using 1d20. wakeup!
Oscillator rolled 10 using 1d20. wakeup!
One of those has gotta have succeeded!

rolled 100% on 7% chance of being knocked out.
Spent the 8PR to roll with the damage, +2 for this next turn


Realising that he can't actually harm this woman, Eddy made a run for it back out into the cold.

Evade, and move to join the skirmish outside

Action 16 Evade

The Inhuman continued to dodge and weave to try and avoid the Bear's deadly blows. The Inhuman was still standing but either of the two blows could easily have put down one of the others.

But drawing the Bear's attacks was not enough. The Inhuman knew he needed to put his opponent down.

"Am I dead?"  Osc's jerks up a little too quickly -- his eyes register the fading after-image of an angelic Vosper leaning over him, but she's already zipped away.  Frozen drool sticks to the side of his face.  "Where am I?  Oh yes ... hell frozen over, Russian-style."

Osc takes to the air again, heading towards their cache of explosive charges, activating his vibratory defense.  He wanted to evade incoming attacks, but he was still too woozy, so instead he tries another tactic: just fly fast.

Vos smiled back at Osc as he took to the air.  They were back in it.  Her nerves / aim might still be suspect, but she felt a lot better with Oscillator's brilliance on the job.

Poco sends a vicious swipe of his claws at the diminutive super in the hopes of knocking her into next week. Despite the accuracy of his strike it passes right through her head. Her return punch rings his bells a little and he removes himself to the battleground proper, moving evasively as he does so and leaving her in the barracks with a confused expression on her face.

Vosper continues to move evasively and also zips over to the downed form of Oscillator, hoping to rouse him from his unconsciousness. Fortunately her ministrations do revive him and after a few moments to shake his head Oscillator restores his vibratory defense and speeds off to obtain the demolitions charges.

Whisper moves towards Sunphoenix, unleashing a vicious shriek but the burning man is able to adapt to the frequencies and emerges unharmed.

The unknown super outside continues to move evasively, one large chunk of debris orbiting her rapidly and the other hovering nearby to Inhuman.

Despite Inhuman's maneuverings Bear is able to tag him again solidly with his claws, a toothy grin on his face despite some obvious damage on him.

Onyx moves away from the soldiers that targeted him and sends another blast of energy at Bear, striking him but only singeing him slightly as he is able to roll with some of the blast.

Nightmare whirls his bolas and flings them at Whisper, striking and entangling his legs which unfortunately doesn't impede his flight but does obviously cause him pain.

Sunphoenix returns Whisper's attack, striking him but the Soviet super is able to avoid much of the flames effects as he moves through the air.

All the soldiers nod simultaneously and coordinate with each other while Inhuman continues to look to make it harder to hit him. They synchronize and turn on Sunphoenix, unleashing a hail of gunfire at the burning hero of which many of the bullets go wide, some burn up in his fiery aura, but he is struck solidly by one and is grateful for his vest which takes a portion of the shot. One of the soldier's rifles seems to have jammed as he is seen working to clear it.

Whisper also nods, breaking away from Sunphoenix and Nightmare and moving to the other side of the battle where he sends an earsplitting shriek that rakes over Onyx's flying form causing intense pain and ringing his ears.

OOC: Sunphoenix is struck by 1 bullet for 11 damage. He can roll 8 into Power if he wishes leaving 3 damage to go into hit points. Onyx is struck by Whisper's sonic bolt for 17 damage. He can roll 6 into his Power, leaving 11 to go into his hit points. Sunphoenix and Onyx need to make KO rolls with a 3% and 11% chance respectively.

Vosper is up.

Rolling 8 damage into power. May I have a current Power total please as you calculate it Sword?  Just to make sure my numbers are correct.

07:37, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 45 using 1d100 with rolls of 45. KO Check.

Vosper held back, timing her action to coincide with a comrade's, so they could double-team someone the way the bad guys were obviously doing to them.

Vosper keeps moving evasively, looking to flank Bear with a teammate. The unknown Soviet super tries to swat her with a large piece of debris still hanging in the air but misses due to Vosper's defensive abilities.

Bear tries to keep doing what he has been doing and sends another vicious claw attack at Inhuman who is able to sidestep the attack.

No one knows what happened to the other unknown Soviet super until a shot rings out from Tower 2. Nightmare just barely senses the hazard and is able to roll sufficiently at the last instant so he is only badly bruised through the vest. Looking in that direction he sees the other unknown Soviet super, now visible as a black-haired young woman holding a sniper rifle. She waves cheerily at the shadowy hero then eyes the battlefield for her next attack.

OOC: Nightmare is hit for 5 damage, all of which he can easily roll into his Power score. The others are missed. Tower 2 is 40" (200 feet) from Tower 1 and probably another 5-10" from where the battle is taking place. Whisper is on the other side of the battle near Onyx, Sunphoenix is near where Whisper was, Vosper is in the vicinity to Bear's left flank, and Oscillator is easily at the site where the demolition charges are. It will take him an action to grab each crate because of their bulk and weight which will affect his movement speed as they are a combined weight of 300 lbs, 170 lbs in one hand and 130 lbs in the other. That is 64% of his carrying capacity so he is moving at 36% of his normal speed whether ground or flight.

The team is up because the soldiers are all holding to coordinate, unless someone targets them in which case they may react.

Vosper dashed in and coordinated with Onyx to team up on the Bear, hurling a dart at his flank.


16:51, Today: Vosper rolled 12 using 1d20 with rolls of 12. Thrown dart +11 to hit. +2 more for Flank?


16:51, Today: Vosper rolled 6,6 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 6,2,1. Dart damage. Total 12.

2 PR spent.

Eddy approached the melee.
The only enemy on the ground was some Bear-man*.

Eddy headed around to come at the bear from behind as it attempted to face down Inhuman.
As Eddy came around to flank the bear**, he roared a battle cry to get its attention focused on him, hopefully***.



- HOLD my action, and Attack Bearboy in unison with Inhuman, flanking him obviously.   
*   I mean seriously, a bear!   I bet he wished he'd been a cat. Cats rock, bears bumble.
**  Poor Bugger, four of us on him, all from the cardinals.  He's technically flanked by 2, if not 3 of us.
*** Hoping to give Inhuman, and maybe others, the flanking bonus.



OOC:  and while we are at it, **** I got a great deal on asterisk at the local grammar store.

"Ah, I knew there was another rifle, here, somewhere," says Nightmare. "I wonder what the girl's karma is like."
He puts both hands to his temples, and then extends his arms to point at the lady with the sniper rifle. There is some energy that manifests itself and wafts toward the lady, but this is only noticed by the sensitive.

OOC: Using Manifestation of the Karmic Deities to call a malevolent spirit out for the sniper lady. Attacks as Mind Control with range factored in, and I assume would use his mental accuracy of +2.
if it works, the manifestation has a tiger head and claws which with the teeth give +1 to hit, +2 to damage in combat, and is holding a thunderbolt, permitting it to use a lightning attack that does 1d8 damage
05:01, Today: Nightmare rolled 13,1,5 using d20,d8,d6 with rolls of 13,1,5. karmic deity on sniper lady (Mind Control +2).

OOC: Poco and Inhuman can each attack at +2 for flanking. Nightmare is just barely unable to affect the Soviet super with his karma attack. Since Poco and Inhuman have declared their target anyhow all the soldiers coordinate and fire at 1, hitting Vosper for 4, 8, 5, 5, 10 damage with a hail of bullets. If I calculated correctly and she rolls as much into power as possible she takes 2, 1, and 6 damage to hit points and loses 23 power as well (2%, 1%, and 6% KO chances).

Once Poco and Inhuman go I will summarize the turn and post new initiatives.

07:06, Today: The Inhuman rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. ko.
07:06, Today: The Inhuman rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. ko.
07:07, Today: The Inhuman rolled 18 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 16.
07:07, Today: The Inhuman rolled 92 using 1d100+2 with rolls of 90. ko.

The Inhuman reached out with his massive hand toward the Bear's head and disrupted the tearing at integrity of the flesh and bone of his enemy's skull.

As Inhuman's pseudopod swung in towards the Bear's head from the left, Eddy's paw swung in from the right, catching the Bear's head between the proverbial 'Rock and a Hard Place'.

Special Attack to the head of the Bear:
- rolled 12 using 1d20 with rolls of 12. Spec Attk 1:  +14 bonus.
- rolled   3 using 1d20 with rolls of   3. Spec Attk 2:  +14 bonus.

- rolled 22 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 8,4. damage.

2PR spent

12:07, Today: Vosper rolled 24,64,17 using d100,d100,d100 with rolls of 24,64,17. KO, 2%, 1%, 6% in order.

Sunphoenix chases after Whisper flaying in from behind him to flank with Onyx flying right at the soviet super.

His flame grow bright the instant before he gets into melee reach his phoenix aura reappearing in a flaring fury...

"Я думаю, что мы все слышали достаточно из вас «товарищ». Рассмотрим этот США цензуре!"
{Translation: I think we have all heard enough out of you 'Comrade'.  Consider this US Censorship!}

Sunphoenix takes a martial stance in midair.. and throws a series of phoenix-eye fist strikes at the Russian's rear flank... his body enshrouded in flames the phoenix aura seemingly raking the soviet super with flaming tallons!

Move: Into melee range
Action: Spending 10" of movement to Invoke - Spirit of the Resplendent PHOENIX
Hand to Hand Attack - Heightened Expertise w/Carrier Attack Flame Powers
18:37, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 3 using 1d20 with rolls of 3. Hand to Hand Attack w/Heightened Expertise & Carrier Attack.

18:37, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 2 using 1d20 with rolls of 2. Flame Powers Carrier Attack. HIT!

- Note: Even IF Sunphoenix does not have the 10" of movement to spend to invoke his Heightened expertise.. both those rolls should Still hit.

Hand to hand Damage -
18:41, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 4 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 3.
Flame Powers Carrier Attack -
18:41, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 10 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 4,5.

Total Cost: 2 PR

Vosper and Onyx coordinate attacks, each striking Bear solidly but the hairy Soviet super remains on his feet although he does appear injured.

Nightmare tries to draw upon the Soviet teleporter's karma to confront her with it but she is able to shake off the effect before it manifests.

Poco and Inhuman likewise coordinate their attacks. Poco slashes at Bear with his claws while Inhuman lashes him with disruptive energy, wounding the Soviet further.

Sunphoenix tries to get a flanking position on Whisper but surprisingly even not looking in the direction he still moves deftly enough but is still struck by the attack.

The five soldiers coordinate their attacks on the weaving Vosper, unleashing a barrage of fire from a pistol and 4 AK-47s with a number of rounds striking home and drawing blood on the speedster.

Vosper could feel her body slowly knitting back together, but she was getting tired.  She was too tired to evade well any longer, so she planned to go on the offense.  She planned to coordinate with Poco to take down Bear.

(OOC: Hold til 31)

Whisper moves away from Sunphoenix, angling himself to keep the whole battlefield in view. As he moves he sends a multifrequency shriek at the fiery hero, this time overwhelming his ability to adapt and wounding him.

OOC: Sunphoenix takes 13 damage from the sonic attack, he can roll 4 into power leaving 9 for hit points. Make a KO roll please (9% chance).

Poco is up.

Eddy knew he should work on defending himself right now, but two things talked him out of it.

Firstly, he was all warmed up for serious bout with this bearling;
Secondly, he could see Vos coming in behind the bear with that spinning maneuver that told Eddy that a sharp piece of metal was on its way towards the bear.

And so, against all good judgement, and with great joy, he hit the bear hard in the head.


- rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17. Spec Attk: headshot.
- rolled   9 using 1d20 with rolls of 9. Spec Attk: headshot.

- rolled 19 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 5,4. Damage.

22:47, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 26 using 1d100 with rolls of 26. KO check.

Sunphoenix is stuck by the high frequency blast ...perhaps caught off guard.. thinking the Soviet super was not paying attention to him? The injuries... hidden but at least two ribs broken... possibly some internal bleeding as well... the harmonic dissonance treating his body like a chicken in a microwave rattling his teeth and forming bruise on his body.. external and internal.

Any cry of pain is lost in the shriek of the sonic attack... but Sunphoenix is still in flight... mostly.  But its clear he is heavily wounded.

Over the radio comms,"{Cough}.. breaking off attack folks.. too badly injured... I'll try to shut down the soldiers... leave the supers to the real heroes here."

At the exact moment Poco dashed in for an attack, Vos spun, sending her blood spattering across the snow, and lunged out with a dart at the Bear's flank.


19:57, Today: Vosper rolled 10 using 1d20 with rolls of 10. Thrown dart +11 to hit. +2 flank
19:58, Today: Vosper rolled 6,6 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 6,2,1. Dart damage. 12 total.

OOC: Caress of Steel holds her action...

Vosper is up.

Still behind the Bear, Vos throws a dart at his rear.

20:30, Today: Vosper rolled 16 using 1d20 with rolls of 16. Thrown dart +11 to hit, +4 Rear

20:30, Today: Vosper rolled 5,8 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 5,4,1. Dart damage.

OOC: Poco has a chunk of debris slam into him for 11 damage and simultaneously the teleporter appears behind him, striking him for 15 damage. He can roll 10 of the 1st attack into power taking 1 hit point of damage and can roll 9 of the 2nd attack into power taking 6 hit points of damage (1% and 6% KO rolls).

Nightmare is up.

OOC: Inhuman can go too, Bear is holding his action and eyeing you closely.

21:06, Today: The Inhuman rolled 14 using 1d20 with rolls of 14. attack.
21:06, Today: The Inhuman rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. attack.
21:06, Today: The Inhuman rolled 14 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 12. damage.
21:07, Today: The Inhuman rolled 5 using 1d100 with rolls of 5. ko x4.

The Inhuman continued to tear at the very molecules of the Bear's head. The attack disrupting the tissue of his Soviet foe. Those close enough could see the that it was almost as if the Inhuman's attack was disintegrating the Bear.

"Take evasive action. This is going to take a while." The Inhuman ordered his team mates.

rolled 65 and 29 % to avoid KO

OOC: Bear avoids the KO, attacking simultaneously and clawing Inhuman for 13 damage.

Waiting on Nightmare, Oscillator is able to collect and maneuver the 2nd crate so he can carry both, and Onyx is also up.

21:41, Today: The Inhuman rolled 43 using 1d100 with rolls of 43. ko.

The Inhuman took the blow and held his ground against the Russian Bear. The two had trades some deadly attacks, yet both were still on their feet. The bear was too tough. The team needed to focus on some of the other enemy to see if they could put them down. They needed to buy time for Oscillator to finish the mission and destroy the objective.

"I've got the Bear. Go after who ever you can put down the fastest!" The Inhuman yelled.
This message was last edited by the player at 04:49, Sun 29 Mar 2015.

Onyx is in the middle of making his attack when Inhuman orders them to spread out their attacks. Either from distraction or just plain fatigue, his attack to blast the Bear in the head again fails to strike home.

OOC:

Special attack to head with rolls of 6 and 20. :(

Nightmare smiles at Inhuman's words, and murmurs, again, "as you wish" before snatching the AK47 from the floor and firing in Whisper's direction.

OOC: trying to shoot the wings out, so special atk, likely missed
20:58, Today: Nightmare rolled 6,17,4 using d20,d20,d8 with rolls of 6,17,4. spec atk Whisper's wings w/AK47.

Vosper, though wounded, coordinates an attack with Poco. She strikes Bear in the rear with a dart then repeats the attack with success shortly afterwards.

With Vosper coordinating Poco attempts to claw at Bear's head again but the beast focuses on him to better defend against the attack which just goes wide.

The two unknown Soviet supers combine their attacks with the teleporter appearing on one of Poco's flanks and punching him viciously and the debris manipulator smashing a chunk of tower into him from the other side.

Whisper focuses his shriek on Sunphoenix, raking him with a flesh-shivering blast of sound that overwhelms the fiery super's ability to adapt.

Nightmare tries to shoot at one of Whisper's wing panels but his aim is off.

As that happens Bear turns to face Inhuman. His claws slash Inhuman while another blast of devouring energy hits him in the head. He looks sorely wounded but remains in the fray.

Onyx tries to strike Bear in the head with a blast of energy but the shot goes wide.

Three of the soldiers coordinate their attack, switching their AK-47s to full-auto and sending a hail of bullets at Inhuman, several of them striking the amorphous hero.

Whisper moves around the outside of the battlefield, taking up a hover near the tower where Nightmare is. He rakes Nightmare with a deafening shriek of sound.

OOC: Inhuman is hit by 7 bullets for 5,7,8,6,6,10, and 3 damage. He has 1,3,4,2,2, and 6 damage to decide where to roll into power and what is left for hit points (all but the 6 can be completely rolled into power if you choose). Nightmare is hit by a sonic attack for 11 damage, 6 of which he can roll into power leaving 5 hit points of damage (5% KO chance).

Poco is up with a chunk of debris on one flank and the black-haired Soviet teleporter on the other.

Eddy continued to hit the bear.

Rolled 16 to hit (with usual +12 bonus)
Rolled 19 damage

18:04, Today: The Inhuman rolled 363 using 6d100 with rolls of 96,36,60,14,90,67. ko.

As the Soviet soldiers emptied their magazines into the Inhuman, and the bullets slammed into his flesh, the massive Inhuman continued to stand his ground and is unmoved and unshaken by their impact.

OOC: Caress and Soldier 2 are holding so Sunphoenix and Vosper can go.

Vos moved to get a rear position on Bear and threw a dart.

11:07, Today: Vosper rolled 19 using 1d20 with rolls of 19. Thrown dart +11 to hit.
11:07, Today: Vosper rolled 2,8 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 2,3,2.
2 PR spent.

Sunphoenix flies toward the 4 soldiers with AK-47's and begins cutting loose with a gout of flame that he rakes over their position in a strafing run...

He continues his movement flying around the corner of the barracks turning for another pass when he has the movement.

[ooc: I have NO idea if a 'strafing-run' attack is possible...or how it would be done.. but at least it gives the soldiers something to shoot at since I'm pretty much too wounded to help in this fight any more anyways.. if I hit I hit if I miss .. so what.  I've been pretty much useless in this fight anyways.  The rolls are just not with me.. maybe I'll do better next time?]

18:27, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17. Fiery Blast - Strafing run{?}.

18:28, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 6 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 3,2. Fiery Blast Damage

Despite being attacked on both flanks by the teleporter and the debris manipulator, Poco tears into Bear viciously yet again. The bestial Soviet is notably bloody but still game to fight.

Vosper whirls and hurls another dart which strikes Bear solidly, drawing more blood and eliciting a roar from the huge Soviet.

Sunphoenix flies in a pass past the soldiers, lashing out at one of them with fire and causing him to hiss in pain.

The other 2 Soviet soldiers open fire on Inhuman, hoping to wear him down as the team has been wearing down Bear. The one with the pistol misses while the other sends a hail of bullets at the amorphous hero with 3 of them striking home.

Moments later the teleporter and the debris manipulator coordinate their attacks, striking Poco on each flank with the attack from opposite sides preventing any knockback. As that happens the debris manipulator also sends the orbiting piece of debris out in a rapid arc to strike Vosper as she moves around Bear, sending the speedster tumbling back 20 feet.

OOC: Inhuman is hit by 3 bullets for 8,6, and 9 damage. He has 4,2 and 5 damage to decide where to roll into power and what is left for hit points. Poco is struck by a chunk of debris for 12 damage and by the teleporter for 13 damage. He can roll 7 of the 1st attack into power taking 5 hit points of damage and can roll 6 of the 2nd attack into power taking 7 hit points of damage (5% and 7% KO rolls). Vosper is struck by a chunk of debris for 9 damage. She can roll 1 of the damage into power, taking 8 hit points of damage (8% KO roll). Vosper also takes 2 points of knockback damage as she tumbles back 20 feet. She can roll 1 damage into power taking 1 hit point of damage (1% KO roll).

Nightmare is up then Bear.

Despite being riddled with bullets the Inhuman continued to battle the bear.

12:37, Today: Vosper rolled 31,42 using d100,d100 with rolls of 31,42. KO, 8%, 1%.

Nightmare looks at Whisper, and says, "Now you've made me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry."
Then the eight and half foot tall furry man ape that is in Nightmare's place roars at Whisper.

OOC: talk, turn into a yeti, and roar
at least now he's got fur... and won't have to be cold

OOC: Bear claws Inhuman for 25 damage, 21 remaining after invulnerability.

Inhuman, Oscillator (probably flying the crates back), and Onyx are up.

The bear caught Inhuman off balance and managed to knock him out. The mass of the Inhuman kept him from going far but he crumpled to the ground and stayed down.

23:17, Today: Master Sgt Patrick Muldoon rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17. wake up .

SURVIVED KO will rolls of 39, 83. 5% and 7% chance if KOed.

Onyx prepared to peel away from the Bear and attack another foe when Inhuman collapses under his assault. With the situation looking suddenly dire, Onyx re-engages the Bear with an aerial assault, aiming at the creature's head.

OOC:

Special attack to head.
Rolls of 16 and 10 +3 Accuracy on Power Blast

Damge: 8 (really bad rolling)

OOC: Bear fails his KO roll finally, going down like a ton of bricks...

On the way back with the crates, Oscillator sees Inhuman fall and the team still facing off with a number of foes including soldiers firing full auto. He knows it is going to take time to set up the charges and decides he will need the battle done to do so. Softly dropping off the crates he zooms into the battle area and sends a blast of energy at one of the AK-47 wielding soldiers, hoping to even the odds a little.

OOC: Today: Sword of Damocles, on behalf of Oscillator, rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6. Power Blast vs. Soldier 4.
Today: Sword of Damocles, on behalf of Oscillator, rolled 20 using 2d10+4 with rolls of 8,8. Power Blast damage on Soldier 4.

Nightmare transforms into the shape of a yeti, causing Whisper's eyes to go wide as he hovers a distance from the tower.

Bear tears his claws into Inhuman, this time overwhelming the hero's nervous system and dropping him to the ground unconscious.

Onyx moves into position, sending a blast of energy at Bear's head and striking him. Having already taken a beating Bear's nervous system shuts down and he drops to the icy ground.

Three of the soldiers turn their AK-47s on Onyx, Poco, and Vosper, emptying their clips. The shots at Onyx and Vosper go wide, all of them missing Vosper and most missing Onyx while 2 deflect off his magnetic defenses. Poco however is hit with two bullets from the hail of fire.

Oscillator decides to help even the odds and softly drops off the 2 crates before zooming into the battle area and hitting a soldier with a blast of energy. The blast drops the soldier to the ground in a heap.

Whisper, seeing his first original target Oscillator return to the battle, peels off from the tower and flies around to rake the hero with another burst of cacophonous sound.

OOC: Poco is hit by two bullets for 11 and 4 damage. He can roll 10 of the 11 into power, leaving 1 hit point of damage and all of the 4 damage into power. If you want to take a little more damage to save some power you can choose to, just let me know. Oscillator is struck by a sound blast for 11 damage. I rolled 6 into power leaving 5 hit points of damage (5% KO chance).

Poco is up then Caress of Steel and Sunphoenix. Sunphoenix can go before I do Caress of Steel because she is not targeting him.

With the Bear down, Eddy took stock of his viable targets.

The teleporter was immaterial, and could be hit by claw.
But the soldiers were not.   It was time to finish what he started ...

With a pounce and a mirthful growl, he leapt among the pigeons and began tearing them a new paradigm.
- rolled 10 using 1d20 with rolls of 10. Attk:  +12 bonus.
- rolled 20 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 6,4. Damage.

Sunphoenix turns circling around for another pass on the Soldiers another strafing run with a fire blast...

20:40, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 15 using 1d20 with rolls of 15. Fire Blast - Straferun at soldiers.

20:40, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 7 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 1,5. Fire Blast Damage.

Again ending his flight behind cover of the guard tower from return fire from the soldiers...

Heedless of the teleporter and the debris, Poco launches himself towards the soldiers. He tears into one viciously, dropping him to the ground in a heap.

Sunphoenix continues to fire and move, lashing the pistol-wielding soldier with a blast of fire. This time it appears he has wounded him.

The unknown Soviet tries to smite Onyx with debris and also looks at Poco. The debris flying at Onyx misses which throws off the chance to send debris at Poco.

Turn 5

The battle is approaching some kind of resolution with most of the combatants being very tired and wounded. Bear and Inhuman both lie on the ground near each other, unconscious. Four soldiers remain as well as the teleporter, the debris manipulator, and Whisper to defend the facility.

OOC: Bear and Inhuman are both unconscious, both will get Wake-Up rolls on their initiatives unless someone tries to help them. Soldier 2 has a pistol and Soldiers 3,5, & 6 have AK-47's that they have magazines out for (costs movement to replace a magazine, should have done it after their action last turn so they will do it this turn).

Vosper and Poco are both up.

Eddy moves into an Evasive stance.

Seeing Muldoon faceplanted, Vos dashes to his side. "On yer feet, soldier," she said.  "ON... YOUR... FEET!!!"

(OOC: Action, try to wakeup Inhuman.)

OOC: Roll a d20, on a 9 or less Inhuman will have a +2 bonus to chance to make his wakeup roll.

OOC: How about an EXTRA bonus for rolling a 1, something I almost never do? ;)

19:35, Today: Vosper rolled 1 using 1d20 with rolls of 1. Bonus to wakeup.

I agree; bonus of +3 for the fantastic 'Drill Sargeant' wake-up call scream

20:53, Today: The Inhuman rolled 7 using 1d20 with rolls of 7. wake up please

Nicely done Vosper!.

The Inhuman laid motionless until Vosper sped across the icy battlefield, to wake the massive man from his slumber. It might have been the speed of the slap or maybe the smell of her locks but something roused his attention.

OOC: Onyx is hit by a blast of sound for 11 damage. He can roll 4 into power leaving 7 damage to hit points (7% KO chance). Poco is smacked by the teleporter (who appears next to him) for 13 damage. He can roll 7 into power leaving 6 damage to hit points (6% KO chance). Vosper is missed by a chunk of debris. The debris-manipulator also rises 6" (30 feet into the air).

I do want to say neither the debris-manipulator or the teleporter have been hit and as they are pressing the attack neither are evading. I know non-corporealness is a toughie but it is not as bad to very accurate attackers. Whisper *has* been hurt and Bear is out cold (for now).

Nightmare, Vosper, Onyx, and Oscillator are up.

(I will summarize once their actions are done)

Onyx shakes his head to clear the ringing from his ears and spits out a bit of blood.

"Right. That is twice now. Enough of that," he says as he flies toward Whisper.

A rippling ball of black and gold energy forms in his right hand for a moment before he releases it at the Soviet.

OOC:

Power blast at Whisper

Rolled 4 to hit. +3 Acc

Dmg: 17

Can't go after t-porter when Whisper is tagging Onyx.

Vosper smiled down at Muldoon briefly before speeding off.  She was a bloody mess, her uniform torn and riddled with bullet holes and stained with her own blood.  She moved in towards Poco, hoping to coordinate with him.

(Hold)

"If we survive this, it will be urgent to detonate the lab before Russian re-enforcements arrive," Osc says into the radio.

Then he does something rash -- he flies right up to Whisper and blasts with his biggest vibration attack.

Ideally, Osc would flank or attack from back (Whisper can burn the extra power) and blast.

Oscillator rolled 1d20 with rolls of 14. vib attack (+2).  <-- prob'ly a miss?
Oscillator rolled 3d8 with rolls of 17 +4dmg = 21 dmg.
Cost = 7 PR (5pr zap + 2pr for extra action)

OOC:  I changed the post b/c I was missing some info

---

Osc continues schlepping the charges towards the lab, hopefully arriving at the lab, vibra-flying through a wall INTO the lab ... and begins placing charges?

HOLD ACTION to absorb attack (or place charges if he isn't attacked).

The furry Nightmare rips the hatch open and swarms down the ladder from the tower, actually circling it as he descends by brachiation. Charging the soldiers, he runs between two of them with his arms and claws extended to the utmost in an attempt to strike both of his targets. Although he may startle the soldiers, his failure to account for the distance between the two (it looked smaller from Yeti height) is likely to have caused him to miss.

retcon:

OOC: if distance an object can be thrown is figured as in the book, he can hurl the rifle several hundred yards. His claws don't fit in the trigger guard, so he can't actually use the rifle any other way, and he most assuredly missed the throw:
02:29, Today: Nightmare rolled 19 using 1d20 with rolls of 19. throw rifle at Caress of Steel.

OOC: leaving the tower and running along the ground to the soldiers, Nightmare tries to put the fear of Yeti into them, but misses
23:33, Today: Nightmare rolled 10,19,9,14 using d20,d20,d10+7,d10+7 with rolls of 10,19,2,7. multiple attack on two soldiers (+6 to hit).

- rolled 92% to avoid being KOed

Vosper is somehow able to roust the unconscious Inhuman with her cool bedside manner and the amorphous hero beings to stir slowly.

Seeing Vosper successfully roust Inhuman, the debris-manipulator tries to swat the speedster with a huge chunk of tower. Vosper fortunately is able to dodge and puts herself in a waiting action hoping to coordinate with Poco.

The teleporter appears right next to Poco, hitting him with a solid punch and giving him a grim smile.

Whisper rakes Onyx with another teeth-shaking blast of sound but this time Onyx catches him right back. The Soviet sonic manipulator looks to be not far from being out of the fight; bleeding, bruised, and burnt in many places.

Nightmare's yeti form makes a mad rush down out of the tower and charges the soldiers. His timing his off and his claw swipes only catch empty air but they definitely appear startled at his appearance.

Oscillator tries to flank Whisper but whatever sonic pulses are emanating from the Soviet seem to make him aware of where Oscillator is despite not looking at him and the blast of vibration goes wide.

Bear groans and shifts slightly but still appears to be unconscious otherwise...

OOC: Just pointing out again that Whisper is *badly* hurt and it is pretty likely that any decent amount of damage will knock him out with the fall from 30 feet in the air utterly killing him. He is not making any threatening gestures and in fact is looking frantically in a number of directions.

Poco is up as well as Vosper's held action if she uses it.

"Surrender!   Hmmmm...
Anyone know the word surrender in Russian?" Oscillator shouts, after missing Whisper.

"I bloody speak Russian, not French!" Vos grinned at Osc as she wove into position to help Poco.

"Just kiddin'.  'Sdacha'," she added.

OOC: Holding to coordinate with Poco, will flank his target and attack.

Eddy was getting pretty pissed off with this 'Shadows Kiss' bastard ... with all the teleporting and such.

Even though his head reminded him that it was futile to swing at someone incorporeal, he turned with a snarl and swiped at the incorporeal teleporter with a sharp claw.    It was a primal thing to do; but Eddy was a primal kind of guy.
- rolled 7 to hit with usual +12 bonus.
- rolled 18 damage

Poco turned and went for Shadow's Bupkiss.  "You gotta be kiddin' me," Vos groaned, but moved to angle in behind Bupkiss anyway.  She tossed her dart...

OOC: Poco *does* hit, Vosper misses as Shadow's Kiss spends 2 power to change facing so Poco and Vosper only flank her. Soldier 6 is reloading and Soldier 2 grabs Soldier 4's AK-47 and starts reloading as well. Inhuman and Sunphoenix can go as Soldier 6 won't be able to go until 19 and Soldier 2 until 18.

Coming to, he looked up and saw what he thought was an angel, after a moment it saw it was Vosper.

"Thanks beautiful .." The Inhuman said as he rose.

But she was gone before he could thank her. He saw that she was beaten and bleeding and all he wanted to do was protect her. The Inhuman was not sure how long he had been out, but was glad to see the Bear was out too.

The Inhuman reached down and lifted the unconscious bear into his massive arm wrapping the beast up tight. He was prepared to exert his massive strength on the bear if his opponent woke up, as he did he whispered " Spi spokoyno medvezhonku ."* In the Inhuman's massive arm, the Bear almost looked like an over sized stuffed toy cradled in the arm of an eager boy.

Then looking across the icy battlefield the Inhuman  saw a new combatant on the field, some sort of abominable snow man, but as long as he was attacking Russians he was OK in the Inhuman's book,  a moment later the Inhuman spotted the Soviet super attack Vosper and seemingly reached across the distance and began tearing at the molecular structure of his foe. As he attacked he moved closer to Vosper going back to back with her.

"Let's finish this. Sunpheonix hit her too!"

09:51, Today: The Inhuman rolled 14 using 1d20 with rolls of 14. disintegration .
09:51, Today: The Inhuman rolled 13 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 11. damage.

Sunphoenix turned his strafing run to alter course...

He might have changed targets but he had not been ignoring the super fight...seeing Vosper tagged several times as she continued to help teammates revive inspired him {...that woman deserves a medal of valor...!}, and set his blood boiling!

Lance's 'old-fashioned' southern-gentleman's code of chivalry towards women made his already~ sometimes touchy temper flare with ire! Whether it killed him or not he was going to make the soviets pay.. dearly!

Swopping in his eyes blazing and phoenix aura flaring to life he flew at Shadow's Kiss unleashing a blast of solar flame repplying over the comms, "You got it Master Sergent!  Let's put these commie bastards down HARD!  And my best regards to that Swift Angel keeping everyone going.. great work Vosper... !"


08:42, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 1 using 1d20 with rolls of 1. Fire Blast at Shadow's Kiss {23-}.

08:43, Today: Sunphoenix rolled 9 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 6,2. Fire Blast Damage at Shadow's Kiss.

Poco and Vosper are able to flank the teleporter. Poco is able to find a purchase for an instant with his claws in her ghostly form while Vosper just fails to affect her as the dart passes through.

Inhuman enfolds the unconscious Bear in his form, moving next to Vosper and lashing the debris-manipulating Soviet with a blast of devouring energy.

Seeing the teleporter engaged well with Poco, Sunphoenix lets out a few choice words about the Soviets before striking the teleporter with a bolt of flame. The teleporter looks a little singed and bloodied for the first time.

Three of the soldiers finish reloading their AK-47s, unleashing a hail of bullets at Onyx, Oscillator, and Inhuman. Onyx and Oscillator are struck by 1 bullet each while Inhuman takes 3 with the rest of the rounds going over the shoulders of the heroes.

The Soviet debris-manipulator looks to scrub Sunphoenix and Vosper from the battlefield but fails to coordinate the dual attack and misses both with a large chunk of debris each.

Whisper who is battered, burned, and bloodied turns for a moment to the debris manipulator then nods. He takes a deep breath as he hovers, angling his flight panels. A moment later a massive pulse of unheard but felt sound is released down and behind him. The wing-suited Soviet suddenly accelerates past the speed of sound, the shockwave battering everyone in the vicinity while he tears off through the air towards the East, decelerating to his normal speed a moment later about 900 feet away but still moving quickly at his normal flight speed. Everyone's ears are left ringing by the sound.

The teleporter continues to focus her martial skills on Poco, striking him solidly with a roundhouse kick.

OOC: Onyx is hit for 6 points and Oscillator for 9 points by bullets before accounting for the bulletproof vest and rolling damage into power (Onyx can roll 4 damage into power while Oscillator can roll all 9 into power if he wants). Inhuman is hit by 3 bullets for 3, 0, and 4 damage after invulnerability (roll into power or hit points as you choose). Everyone takes 3 damage to power from the sonic boom left by Whisper's stunt (including the Soviets). Poco is hit for 16 damage by the teleporter.

Soldier 3 is reloading and won't go until 10 so Nightmare, Vosper, Onyx, and Oscillator can go.

"Nix, Osc, with me," Vos called, staggered by the sonic boom and dizzy.  She waited for her two friends to coordinate against whomever.

Eddy rolls 3 harm into Power loss (6 total with sonic Attack) and takes 13 to HP.
Rolled 56% to avoid KO

Non action

Despite the hail of bullets, the Inhuman stood steady as he continued to disrupt the Soviet metal manipulator. If anything the impact of the rounds made hi strengthen his hold on the Bear. He felt for the slightest stirring in the bear as a reason to exert his strength as well as disrupting his ursine foe.

"We got 'em on the ropes. Don't let anymore escape!" The Inhuman roared.

"Coming, dear." says Oscillator.  Despite it being a typical phrase of the period, he meant it humorously.  He placed a hand over the CRIT potions, counting them -- he had enough so far for everyone on their team.

He flies over to her, holds his action, waits for 'the plan'.

Nightmare has, apparently, decided that if he can't have a rifle no one should be using them. That or he just doesn't like uniforms. For whatever reason, the nearest AK-47 wielding soviet receives a clawed uppercut from the 500 pound gorilla-man in the room.

OOC: 02:58, Today: Nightmare rolled 3,13 using d20,d10+11 with rolls of 3,2. atk (+6 to hit)/dmg on soldier.

Onyx waves at Vosper and points at the teleporting Soviet. "That one!"

And he flies in a wide arc behind the target as a pure yellow-white light builds into a powerful glow in his hand.

OOC:

Waiting to coordinate with Vos and Osc against the teleporter. Will blast her with a Light Control attack.

To hit: 13 +5 Accuracy (Base 14 to hit on Light Control)
Dmg: 7 (dice roller hates me)

Vos moved opposite of Onyx to throw a dart.  "Osc, stay with me," she said.  That way no matter which way the teleporter turned the attacks would be coming in from the sides.


10:31, Today: Vosper rolled 14 using 1d20 with rolls of 14. Thrown dart +11 to hit.
10:32, Today: Vosper rolled 2,15 using d6,2d8+3 with rolls of 2,5,7.

2 PR spent.

"I'm with you!", Oscillator says.

He winds up positioned with a backshot, and he takes it.
(But first he looks to see if this teleporter might have a device he could 'move thru and vib-disrupt' BEFORE taking the shot.)

"This is gonna hurt!"

---

ZOT!
Oscillator rolled 1 using 1d20. big vib blast. Yay!  (+2 / +2 flank or +4 rear?)
Oscillator rolled 8 using 3d8 (with rolls of 2,3,3). = 8+4 = 12 dmg.

Extra action 2 + big shot 5 = 7 PR

OOC: Nightmare's attack takes out the wounded soldier (#2). Soldier 3 hits Nightmare with 3 bullets for 7, 2, and 6 damage. After limited invulnerability that is 6, 1, and 5 damage. You can roll all of that into power due to the vest. Bear awakens and bites Inhuman for 17 damage (13 after limited invulnerability).

Poco is up.

Hit soldier 6

- rolled 16 using 1d20 with rolls of 16. Attk:  +12 bonus.
- rolled 21 using 2d10+10 with rolls of 3,8. Damage.
