Once it is apparent that nobody is heading skyward, and that the team has taken casualties in the office Imp radios in, "This is Impetus, permission to leave overwatch and engage."

If said permission is granted Imp will drop into the room and fire off a qbolt at Shooter. 6 sux to hit, damage is [15]+8dice, plus any potential extras from sux to hit.

Ok, Imp's action is on record, and we'll skip Zero and Flare for now and assume they're busy or whatever.  I updated a few more things as well.  Will start a round two post when I get a few more actions in.

I'm taking the next round of actions now.

Flare desperately wants to join the melee, but with the civilians still in danger can't risk it. As soon as the baselines have left the warehouse Flare creates a wall of fire to block the possible bullets and other projectiles from the ensuing combat.

"As soon as the baselines are safe behind Pax's shield I'll be right in."

Fire shield covers 10 cubic meters and follows me, I'm spreading it 2 high and 5 wide (so 6 by 15 feet) and has a soak of 10. It is maintained, but will dissapear if I leave the ground.

Round 2:

21:


20:
Platoon joins his clone in beating on Comstock, pulling out a reinforced combat knife and stabbing down into his shoulder.  The knife breaks as tons of force slam it into Comstock's impenetrable body, and the point slashes through a ceiling crossbeam entirely.

Mystery acts, leaping onto Imp's back from the shadows and repeatedly stabbing him in the side, underneath the armpit (5L after soak).  While Imp can certainly feel the attacker, he is completely invisible.  To onlookers it is as though Imp suddenly sprung a red, gory leak.

Zero lashes out at Imp's attacker, but misses. Using quantum sight, he can see a blurred cloud of quantum energy clinging to Impetus' back.

19:
Phantasm reshapes herself into a more combat proficient form, then closes the distance between herself and Shooter.

Suzukaze dashes in, dodging around the many obstacles in her path, and cuts into platoon with her katanas.  Her blades manage to connect, but make only a tiny cut.  Suzukaze feels some sort of subdermal armor resisting her blades.

18:
Pax's shield goes up, surrounding the building.

Chalk scans the field and decides to take a more tactical role int he fight.  He gestures at Comstock and Gravitas, and they are suddenly surrounded in ice (multi-action to break out, automatic for Com, 12 successes required for Grav or a quantum power usage would make it automatic).

Shooter, quite satisfied with himself and not noticing Phantasms approach, takes aim at the metal man, convinced he can pierce his defenses. Shooter fires off 3 focused blasts in rapid succession, two of which manage to deal bore into Comstock's chest, pitting the metal and scorching the area around the holes (4L). Shooter's minor wounds appear to be closing.

Zero gauges his distance a bit better, and connects with his second attack.  I trickle of blood oozes onto the floor; apparently its blood isn't invisible.

Gravitas shatters the ice surrounding him, and sends a bolt of gravitic distortion at chalk, but between escaping from the ice and his blocked line of sight, Gravitas finds that his aim is off.  The wall separating the club from the offices explodes as his bolt hits it.

Flare holds action until after Shooter is cut up as she sees Phantasm approaching.

17:
Juan yells out in a thick accent as he falls "You can just let us go you know, you don't all have to die... Only that one!" When he lands he leaps into the air again, farther and faster this time, aiming for Solitaire.  He barely misses, punching through the roof again, and ricocheting off of Pax's wall several times before popping back through the portal again.  He seemed confused before he went through.

Phantasm rips Shooter to tatters, cutting through his shielding.

Flare tackles Shooter, and carries what is left of him out of the building,  burning his now shieldless and unconscious body.

16:
Platoon clones act, moving to wrestle Comstock to the ground.  Both tackle his ice coated body and tip him over onto the ground, holding him there (Knockdown + Hold + Imprison).

15:
Phantasm rips apart one of the Platoon clones, which then dissolves into stray quantum energy, much as her own constructs do.

Comstock surges up to standing again, reversing the hold on the remaining platoon clones with sheer brute strength, and rips it in half.  Its flesh turns into a fine red quantum mist that quickly dissipates.

Imp puts his hands behind his head, and releases his built up energy. There is a crunching sound, and Imp can feel skull fragment in his hands.  A dull thud behind him and the loss of weight on his back signal that the nova assassin is down.  Still not visible though.

12:
Solitaire rushes Juan again, back into the cold arctic.  He's more than happy to let her grab hold...

The baseline criminals spray fire, in a bit of a panic now.  They target the new attackers, Zero and Impetus, but manage to miss horribly.  Fortunately between fire walls and forcefields, no more baselines are injured... except another unfortunate criminal that was holding the merchandise, who dies from a very large bullet to the chest.

9:
Hardbody takes advantage of the Comstocks distraction to slam into him from behind.  He puts everything he has into it; apparently his ego can't handle another nova that's "harder" than himself.  He's screaming something about being the best, or the most powerful, or something.  Hard to make out as it sounds more like rock grating on itself than comprehensible speach.  Hardbody barely connects, but Comstock hardly feels it (1B).

Zero tires to spot a sign of the invisible attacker hurting Impetus.

If that fails, Zero pushes onward, hopping the chaos of battle will allow Zero to connect.

Zero is trying to spot a physical sign of the invisible attacker's whereabouts. Hopefully it can see:
The indentations the attacker's weight would cause to Impetus' skin/Eufiber.
That Impetus' body language would show added weight.
4 successes

Either way, Zero will attack. Quickness is activated. 1 Quantum.

There should be a +2 Difficulty Penalty if Zero didn't spot the Mystery guy.

22:24, Today: Dr. Zero rolled 7 successes using 10d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 10,1,9,5,9,8,10,9,10,3. Second attack, +1Blind Diff-1meg.
There should be a +1 Difficulty Penalty if Zero didn't spot the Mystery guy, as Zero has used it's Mega-Die to offset on +1 Difficulty Modifier. If Zero does see the man, I will roll the Mega latter.
I'll roll damage if any of this works.

Phantasm contemplates what exactly she needs, running through possible powers and the outcomes of various scenarios.

She needs to pierce the protection on these novas; they were really tough, and if they didn't take them out soon, people would start dying (possibly her).  She maintened her current form, but extended delicate yet extremely strong bone blades from the grooves between her knuckles, honing them to monomolecular sharpness and reinforcing them with quantum and metal.

She needed speed.  Build up the fast twitch fibers in her muscles, smooth the joints further, push the CNS to its max, burn quantum through it to move her beyond anything in nature.  The world slowed.

She needed better protection too.  She pushed her anger and pain outward, and the ephemeral green wraiths around her screamed and wailed in pain, briefly drowning out the sounds of battle.  The pain in her body subsided as she shunted it aside, feeding it to the monsters that lived inside her.

Then she moved.  Kicking herself up to a crouch, Phantasm then launched herself at Shooter.

In less time than it took to blink, she lashed out with her new claws repeatedly, cutting into his back and head savagely.

Not waiting for the body to fall, she let the momentum of her attacks carry her past Shooter, and towards Comstocks fallen and frozen form, where she cut into the Platoon, not particularly caring which one was "real".

In reply to Rydi (#53)

As soon as the Pax's shield goes up, Flare flies back at the warehouse.  She pushes some extra quantum into her shield and attempts to
throw herself at Shooter who has hopefully been shredded to death by Phantasm, but just in case...launching the both of them straight out the back wall of the club (if there's any wall remaing and if there are no convenient windows to go through)  The sooner he is out of the way the better.

1 quantum to have Flare's fire shield do damage (5L)

Flare attempts an Aerial Slam to Shooter (pg 256)
Dex + Propel to hit, she uses 1 mega dex to offset the +1 penalty of the maneuver and the other two in the roll.


You rolled 4 successes using 12d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 ((4,7,6,5,1,7,3,2,2,9,2,9)). The last two were mega dex for a total of 5 sucesses. And she'll spend one will for a 6th sucess.

Damage is str +3 dice Flare rolled 2 successes using 9d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 5,1,5,4,9,2,9,3,2. Proper damage for Slam w/flight. Her soak is 14 so she offsets the 1 damage she would have taken from the maneuver.

In Conclusion: Aerial Slam 6 to hit, 2B 5L damage, and hopefully Shooter goes on a Flame-ride out of the building.  6 Quantum and 1 Will used so far.

Spending 1 wp to change actions.  Also, am assuming that since Imp can feel Sneaky Mcbackstabber, he's not going to have dice pool penalties for having an invisible opponent.  Unless he's invisible to touch as well, which would suck.

Imp dropped through the skylight in the ceiling and drew bead on Shooter, before he could act, however, he felt something hit him in the back and then his right side light up in pain.  His bellow of agony as whatever it was pieced his side choked off as blood blocked his windpipe and sprayed Shooter, standing only a few feet away.  His vision starts to go black around the edges and he knows that if something isn't done soon, Imp will be.  he shoves his hands behind his back, between himself and the attacker, then he lets the stored kinetic energy go that he was preparing to hit Shooter with, hoping to blast his attacker free.

Updated.

Imp, you didnt act in the round, so you shouldn't have to spend a will to switch actions.  You shot Shooter last round.  And honestly, I'm not really going with that rule anyway, as it just confuses things more.  People post what they post, and if something gets in the way of that, they can just adjust their action as needed.

Zero, you should give me damage, and what kind of attack you are making, with your attacks.  I just need dice, not actual rolls.  Also, you forgot your event horizon thingy again.  I rolled it for you.

Flare, Shooter is mostly dead, should be assured now that he's hugging an inferno.  He was a regenerater though, so that's probably good.

Grav, Sol, Comstock, and Sue are still left.

"Really, its no fun if you keep running away. Surely you can do better than that." Solitaire said, but in reality, she wasn't as confident as she looked. It was unfortunate really that this bunch had turned out to be reasonably competent combatants. It didn't bother her specifically, but the rest of her team were much more fragile then she was. Juan was trying to escape, which was annoying, she needed to put him down quickly so she could take some heat off of Imp and Phantasm, who wasn't dead, which was good. It would have been most unfortunate if had been, but Solitaire figured Phantasm was tougher than that.

Solitaire kicks of after Juan again, attempting to grab him. He was going down now then Solitaire was going to get back to the main event and pound on some  of the criminals pounding on her friends.

Shooter, Chalk, and Platoon did their best to take Comstock down.  He had to admit, they were doing a good job of it.

"Nggghhh," he grunted.  A dull, silvery-red substance was pouring out of the holes in Comstock's chest, a column of steam rising where the hot fluid met the rime.  The Platoon clones piled on, bits of ice cracking away under their blows.  "C'mon you ..."

In one fluid motion, Comstock cracked open the icy prison and reached for the clones trying to hold him down.  "Gotcha you little...!  His hands twisted into enormous metal claws, aimed to crush and decapitate.  Rising to his feet, he tried to drag the men into his inexorable, inescapable grasp.

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Three actions:
1) Break free of prison (-3 penalty, but automatic thanks to Comstock's strength)
2) Stand-up from Knock-down (-4 penalty, but automatic.  The rules appear to demand my standing up.)
3) Break from hold and try to clinch any of the platoons.  (-5 penalty, possibly automatic due to Mega-Strength)

If it's decided that I can turn the grapple back on the clones, then they are going to take horrible, horrible damage to the tune of 8[25] Lethal.

Being trapped in ice was a new trick. He'd been immobilize before but never quit in this fashion. He concentrated for a moment and sent out a gravitic shockwave, attempting to shatter the ice and allow himself to act. Assuming this works, he takes aim at Chalk again and fires a second time. Unfortunately, the haste with which these actions followed one another and the obscuring nature of the ice proved to be sufficient to block a clear line of sight.

Flare drops the charcoal briquette (shooter) and turns in the air surveying the scene.  She sighs.  Ever since eruption she had though of all the possible novas she'd have to fight and going against an opposing elemental user was in her mind, the most annoying.  But with the other two criminals being hand-to-hand fighters, Flare decides to try to take on Chalk.

"This day just can't get any worse."

Flare delivers a lethal blast to Chalk.  Attack is Dex+ EM and she dedicates all her dex to the roll.

Flare rolled 6 successes using 13d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 9,8,6,9,8,9,6,2,4,3,10,4,3. Lethal blast on chalk.
The last 3 were mega dex so the total is 8 sux.

Blast inflicts [Quantum x2] levels + (power rating x2) dice of lethal
        damage *20 dice currently*
Flare rolled 6 successes using 20d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 1,8,9,7,3,4,7,6,6,5,1,1,3,3,5,9,6,6,8,2. Damage to Chalk.
And with that craptakular roll 6l damage incurs.

Grand total is 6 to hit 6L damage on lethal blast, 9Q and 1W used.

Solitaire, having clamped herself onto Juans back, snakes her arms under his and back behind his head, then wraps her legs around his waist for good measure. She leans in close, whispering "Gotcha.". Now to find a good spot to drop him. Nope, nope, not bad. Ah, perfect!

"Please buckle your seat belt, we may experience some turbulence." Solitaire says, tilting back aiming them both straight at the hardest looking patch of ice she could find. She cackles exhilaratingly all the way down till they hit.

This is quite nice this time of year. Solitaire thinks idly just before impact.

Damage is +6 for a smackdown, so its 11[15], I'll edit if anything needs changing from Juan's action, but he shouldn't really be able to anything that's not reflexive.

Looking towards Impetus Suzukaze shouts. "Platoon is armored somehow I couldn't penetrate it!"

Top of round 3:


20:
Only the original Platoon is left standing, and he seems a bit worried... he dives behind a pile of debris that might once have been a desk.

Mystery bleeds.  He contemplates how ironic it is that if he remains invisible, the medics won't see him, but if he shows himself, either the T2Mers or his own people might kill him.  He drags himself off to the back corner of the building, surrounding himself by the most structurally sound of the remaining walls.

Zero trails Mystery to his corner and hammers into the quantum blur, slamming the novas head against the wall and leaving a dent. In the head, and the wall.

19:
Phantasm Leaps after Platoon.

Suzukaze changes targets, running and slashing at "Chalk".  She hits, and chips off bits of an icy second skin (1L) but finds that her blades don't penetrate further than the surface.

---

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
While I remember: if you want to spend pts on the Armor Piercing enhancement for your Claws, I'm fine with that, especially since it's gonna be your primary offensive power.

---

18:
Pax and T2M:E are fully in control of the crowd, and are currently getting medical aid to the injured.

Chalk creates a massive convection current and twists his eufiber to form a sort of kite, enabling him to fly straight up and through the portal.

Shooter gasps weakly as the pain overwhelms him, and he realizes that he isn't going to be coming back from this one... He idly wonders how mama will get her meds, and whether all the fun he had was worth all this... then he slips away.

Was that a twitch?! Zero's fist slams into the stealthy nova once more, nearly crushing his windpipe. Fortunately for Mystery, Zero realizes that its opponent is unconscious, nearly dead in fact, and pulls its punch.

Gravitas manages to finally make a solid hit on Chalk, but the gravitic flux seems to have no effect at all.

17:
Flare blasts Chalk with a massive gout of flame as she chases after him, which melts through the outer layers of his ice armor, dealing more significant damage to him in the process (3L).

Juan holds his action.

Phantasm attacks one of the carrying clones and it dissipates.  The clone it was holding drops to its feet in a crouch, and she elegantly rips its throat out.

16:
Platoon has apparently made more clones, as three Platoons leap from cover, each carrying another Platoon, and run in separate directions away from the fight.

15:
Phantasm cuts through another pair of clones as they run, but again missing the real Platoon.  Her third swipe manages to de-spine the final carrying Platoon, dropping the real one on his butt.

Comstock grabs onto Hardbody, locking out his joints, and then jerks. HARD. A snapping sound is followed by an arm being ripped off.  The arm converts to flesh again, the spindly, sickly arm of a small, weak man.  Hardbody's eyes open wide in shock, and he begins screaming.

Imp fires a kinetic blast targeting Chalk, but between his wounds and Chalk's sudden retreat, the shot goes wide, tearing a larger hole in the roof... Which is looking fairly unstable by this point.

12:
Solitaire cements her hold and squeezes Juan into submission, or at least attempts to. He seems... Amused? As they fall into the ice sheet (a nice jagged protrusion aimed for Juan's back), he starts to laugh, a deep rich belly-laugh. The impact is jarring, and for a moment it looks like he won't be getting up...

But as Solitaire moves to disengage after impact, Juan grabs her firmly by the calf and reals her into a clinch.  He's strong, incredibly strong, and he manages to lock onto Solitaires neck. He begins brutally twisting and squeezing the life out of her (11B).

The baseline criminals run from the area, realizing they are totally powerless to impact the fight.  They knock debris out of the way as they run, but slam into Pax's barrier once they reach the club perimeter. The way they moved was more like a super-strong nova than a human, strangely.

9:
Hardbody thrashes about, dealing a few glancing blows to Comstock (1B), then grabs at his stump in pain and falls into a ball on the ground and rocks.
