We might have one prisoner. If I have time, they're going to the police, what's left of them. If not, well... hopefully the mecha isn't about to explode.

Although if it is, that could be useful - one kind of collateral reducing another.

Quick reminder that it's always a good idea to post relevant rules whenever you're doing something, or using something, that isn't immediately obvious. Like a lesser effect of a power that I might not remember, or abilities or equipment from non-Core books, or even if you're accessing something from your sheet that isn't obvious.

Not cuz I don't trust you or anything, it's just the less time I have to spend looking things up, the faster we move.

Having a full week over here. Will post as soon as I can.

No prob.

I was dumb, and forgot to put my text in radio talk, didn't I?

I'll fix it later.

Comic book time - I think I can fit that dialogue in before trying to stop a falling building.

I kind of assumed it was since it read like you meant for everyone to hear it.

Maybe we should adopt a symbol for radio dialog?

In other games I have used #"text"# to denote radio.

In reply to Dr.Roller (msg # 95):

That's the one I usually use too. That works for me.

Hey Gecko, I figured maybe there's fridge brilliance here.

I'm thinking that while your weapons might have those safety features in them, the enemy wasn't so cautious and designed their weapons to be more hazardous. For humans, this would be absolutely insane. Depending on how these creatures are set up, though, death and pain might not be concerns - merely inconvenient.

That said, the one that I left in their cockpit certainly is averse to their current situation. My character is supersmart, but I am not. My wife has noted that I am bad at "hints."

Whoops.

Ah, well. Greater good and whatnot. Building collapse delay takes precedence over saving someone who is the reason we have damage to reverse at all. Maybe he'll come back, if I'm correct in what they are.

Focus: the point is that maybe their explosives were actually altered by someone who considered them completely expendable, and thus theirs would detonate at close ranges. Like battleshorting, but more insane and reckless.

Whichever the reason, the situation remains as stated: there was an explosion, Shitsumon and Shadowbourne were caught in its radius.

Fair enough.  The designers didn't think about the safety of the user.  If the equipment kills the user, too, they can't complain to OSHA.

Dramatic Pause...    :)

Tried to get it in Wednesday then POOF it's 48 hours later. Update is happening tonight.

Sorry, everyone. Couldn't make it happen tonight. Tomorrow for sure.

I was dodging flying polyps in the finale of my CoC game yesterday anyway.

Sorry about the delay on that everyone. It was a big one and I had a hard time tucking it into my week.

OOC: roll me a strength check, anything aside from a nat 1 is a success.

The Dice Roller = 21:14, Today: Altruist rolled 1 using 1d20.  Strength.

...this is going to be one of those days, I see. Can I inflict some kind of consequence on myself in exchange for success?

Geez...

In reply to Altruist (msg # 105):

Yes, for sure.

Exhaustion gives you -1 attack, -5 to strike, parry, dodge, half movement speed,  for the rest of the melee.

To hold up a building? That's fine.

I'll have my post up later today.

I was going to add some damage too but since nothing else on the field right now can really hurt you it seemed a bit gilding the lily.

I'll also have a post up soonish.

Is Doc aware of who these people are or have any knowledge of them at all?

No, he doesn't. This is a complete surprise to him.

Gecko: let's go with Climbing, then. But since you have Adhesion, the penalties are reduced to -5/-15/-25.

I'll use adhesion, then can I add his tail bonus,as he would probably use it to either catch the person or himself?
