Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

retcon:
The furry Nightmare grabs an AK-47 from where a soldier dropped it, then hurls it at Caress of Steel. The rifle flies through the air, far out of sight.

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).

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

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.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

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.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

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.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

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.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

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-}.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

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.

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.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

Nightmare the yeti tears into the wounded soldier, dropping him motionless to the ground.

Onyx, Oscillator, and Vosper coordinate their attacks on the teleporter. Onyx and Oscillator both strike her with a laser beam and a blast of vibration respectively, definitely getting her attention.

One of the soldiers finishes reloading his AK-47 and fires a hail of bullets at the rampaging yeti, striking it with three of the bullets.

Bear, still firmly in Inhuman's grasp, stirs and reacts instinctively as a real bear would. He bends his head down and bites the grasping limb solidly.

Poco cuts down another soldier with a vicious swipe of his claws, the soldier falling in a heap some distance away.

One of the 2 remaining soldiers unleashes a torrent of bullets at the cat-man, hitting him with two of them.

OOC: Poco is hit by 2 bullets for 9 and 5 damage respectively. Rolling into the vest puts 6 into power from the first and 4 from the second bullet, leaving 3 hit points and 1 hit point of damage.

Having been attacked, the Inhuman looked for a way to hurt his foe quickly use d his opponents weight and height against and in what might have been the oddest and perhaps clumsiest suplex ever slammed the Bear's head to the icy snow.

Re: Heat a Cold, Burn a Fever...

One of the bullets that hit Eddy did so in the head.
It was a grazing blow, and the bullet bounced off his hard parts; but it did rattle his cage a little.
And Eddy shook his head and blinked to clear the cobwebs it left I his nut.


- rolled 2,92. 1% and 4% chance of KO.
Almost failed
