OOC: So I got 2 successes to max quantum - not as much as I wanted. I dump them both into successes for the Gravity Field roll. I activate my auxiliary Tech Boost technique, which allows Gravity Field to alter gravity by 1g per success instead of .5g per success. (this whole process has thus costed me 5+3+1 quantum points, though 5 of that was last round). Also spend a WP. This gets me +8 gravities, which pushes us up to 9gs in a 30m radius. Per page 199 of the Aberrant Core book, living things affected by this power get a Willpower roll to resist - I'm not really sure if that is supposed to negate the effect all together or remove successes on a one-for-one or what. It doesn't say. Per page 174 of The New Flesh, all characters (that aren't me or people I selectively remove from the effect) in the field lose 2 dots from Strength and Dex and characters with less than Mega-Strength 2 (after removal) must make a Might roll at a +2 difficulty to act at all (M.Strength 1 removes the penalty from the roll, but Mega-Str does not apply to the roll). Characters in the field must make an Endurance roll every turn at a +2 difficulty or take an unsoakable level of bashing damage (though Adaptation negates this damage).
Only 4 successes on a Wits+Mega-Wits+Nothing roll to detect Geryon's plan. I cannot even realistically attempt the Manip version.

I attempt to work out what he's up to.
23:35, Tue 27 Aug 2013: El Dragon rolled 3 (6) successes using 4d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 ((5,10,10,10)) For Mental Prodigy - Tactics.
23:38, Tue 27 Aug 2013: El Dragon rolled 10 (14) successes using 18d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 ((10,10,7,2,9,4,2,9,4,7, 7,4,4,9,6,1,8,7)) Wits+Tactics.
Would I be able to apply "Meditative Form" (new flesh 103) here since, although I'm not currently engaged in combat, I'm fully prepared for it?

Not going to bother with the resist taunt roll. Solitaire pretty obviously isn't anyway.

1 successes to grab. That didn't work out well after accounting for all the lost dice.
After we get another reply from someone that hasn't posted, Impetus can come on into the scene. Probably stop it cold if he tries, awe everyone into quiescence... if that's the route he wants. Not sure where he stands on the whole judgement thing.

OOC: Buffing and holding action for a turn. Comstock now has less than a third of his quantum left. He's spent too much making repairs on Europa, and just now manifesting a type of force-field to make sure his soak was impossibly large. On the bright side, it's unlikely Geryon will win a simple punching match if it comes down to it. Mega-Strength 6 is back, and Soaks are at 70B/60L!
Which, by the way, gives me pause. My soaks were only a little lower a moment ago, and those guns still did 3L ... also, that's worth mentioning, I'm short by seven lethal right now. I have extra health levels and no wound penalties, so it's not really a thing, but the only time when Comstock was more messed up was after an Atomic bomb. His costume looks nice, but he's not mint-out-of-the-box anymore.
If anyone looks like they are going to die, on either side, Comstock would wade in to break people up. But Comstock's too slow, of foot and of mind, to really have an expectation or recognizing the moment between 'safe' and 'dead' at this level of quantum.

Imp's throwing what he's got left at this, since he couldn't cut loose back in New York he's doing so here. His speech has three purposes. One to give Gravitas the confidence to take Geryon down. Two, to make Geryon believe that Grav can clean his clock, thus making the outcome a foregon conclusion. Three to make the anarchists stand down and seriously question the wisdom of continuing to cause trouble. Halo makes everybody involved feel that Imp is doing all this for the right reasons.

So 8 agg from Disintegration vs. a target that doesn't look like he's got Hardbody or a bunch of extra health levels. Hope I didn't over-juice things and leave the punk just a smoking pair of shoes. Oh well. Don't have the quantum to have a prolonged disagreement without rest.

Gale rolled 6 successes using 10d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 8,6,8,7,1,6,2,7,5,8. Wits+Mega-Wits+Rapport. Geryon Taunt.

OOC: I'm holding my action for Geryon to make another leap, which if he wants to attack me, he will have to do, as I am still airborne. Hitting someone with a warp is Dex+Warp (or Spatial Manip in my case)
Gravitas rolled 4 successes using 10d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 6,8,3,7,10,7,1,3,1,4. Dex+Warp, 2mega.
Determining range is still done with a perception-based roll though (with Quantum autosux), so here's that:
Gravitas rolled 2 successes using 11d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 4,5,3,10,3,5,3,5,1,7,1. Per+Warp, 3Mega.
One of the Mega-Dice (last 3) is a success, so this is 3 successes, a willpower pumps it up to 4, which is enough to reach the Sun.
The aperture of the portal will not technically equalize pressure (because rules!) but you can see through it. This is probably horrifyingly bright to pretty much everyone, and possibly irradiates part of the area - unless the same effect that protects us from multiple kilotons of solar plasma leaking through the gate also prevents the incredible radiation wash that comes with being anywhere near the Sun.

Grav hasn't demonstrated this ability much or at all yet, but he picked it up in his last chrysalis to help mitigate how expensive his powers were and just how quickly he was able to empty his own pool out.
Gravitas rolled 6 successes using 11d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 1,10,1,10,2,8,9,8,2,10, 1. Int+QLeech, 5 mega.
This is opposed by a willpower roll, though in this case it doesn't really matter since such a roll could not possibly exceed the number of successes. I gain spend 1 QP to gain 6 of the target's.
