Okay. Avoiding thousand post limit, new thread.

Awesome.

Hoping the in-character action translates as a retreat rather than a rout.

Uhm...did you miss that I hit Snowblind with a CRITICAL with my chemical sprayer - Tear Gas?  Shouldn't he be at Horrendous penalties to do anything?
Not to mention both Snowblind and Phantasma moved into the Area of the Tear Gas Grenade I fired between Cicada and the Gorilla... those squares are 5' feet... the blast area is 10'foot radius!

Gerenade placed for maximum coverage of course...



Black 'X' Marks the spot...

Since I turned off the supernatural strength wouldn't my number of actions have gone back to normal?  I should have 5 left.

In reply to JUSTICAR (msg # 3):

Phantasma came out of the door of room 16, avoiding the gas. Snowblind is standing in the gas and ignoring it.

I activated mystic field before their attack. Cicadas arm would have hit the field, as so would Snowblind ice.

In reply to SSOGM (msg # 5):

Uhm.. Phantasma is Still in the AoE of the gas Grenade 10'ft Radius from the 'X'. It doesn't just go away 1 round after firing does it?  That's WHY you use area denial ordinance to make an area something the enemy does not want to move into.

Unless all the enemy are suddenly immune to gas attacks? Or they are all androids?  And if androids how do they STILL have metahuman powers?

For the record, will I need to make attack or damage rolls? I don't expect to undo Frosty's work, I just need to make enough damage on it so that anyone going over it can safely do so.

Thats what I meant by fueling them with magic. Force has to be using magic for that.

Depending on how they are wired up, and the source of their powers, I could see this happening. The tech would be alien relative to this world, though. In essence, if the powers they have are psychic or mentally generated, they could be transferred intelligences.

Bear in mind, they wouldn't be playing by our rules if they had this. This is almost Mechaniloid, Splugorth, or Phyrexian levels of tech, where the line between machine and flesh become blurry. It has some rather serious implications.

For simpler solutions, I suspect that Snowblind might simply be immune to environmental conditions in some way, especially if he's wearing a suit, or something is making him full environmental in some way. Phantasma likely isn't there - if I were an illusionist, the last thing I'd do is put myself in the front.

Then again, they might be crazy enough to do that. If either of them are wearing a helmet of some kind, crack it, then encourage them to breathe in that fresh air. You don't even need to destroy it - just breach the integrity.

In reply to Crusader (msg # 9):

Hmmm.. that is wholly Outside Hikari's understanding, and just screwy enough to be plausible...

@ Winter ~ That's a more likely the case in this possibility.  Hikari will just have to up the 'volume' on his Area Denial ordinance.  I only stress over it because Hikari is not a mutant, or psionic, or a magic caster... NONE of his abilities gets more powerful with level automatically. All he can rely on is his mundane tech and weapons ~ so what his ordinance does and the effects it is supposed to have are critically important to him remaining relevant. With the way armor works his powered suit will soon be irrelavent for protection only his offensive ordinance and its effectiveness will be of any import.  All a villain has to do is roll high enough to exceed his AR15 and he's getting hurt cause they TOTALLY bypass his armor completely.  He can be killed and his armor not even scratched... so his offensive abilities are Vitally important.

He will simply have to load more destructive and harmful Area denial ordinance... incendiaries will have to be added to his arsenal.

hmmmm.....

Let's see. Not stuck to the magic. Not affected by the tear gas. Physically solid enough to punch with a big fist. Perhaps some sort of force construct hidden within an illusion, that sounds like something someone with those powers could do.

Admittedly, Heroes Unlimited is not a Palladium product I am intimately familiar with. On the one hand, makes playing WH pretty easy as someone looking at the world as a new place - the bewilderment will be quite sincere. On the other hand, I only know of a handful of powers.

So, I'm learning as I go.

...where's the roll of bad guys, anyhow? I'm wondering how many of them I should recognize.

Senators might have clout but they aren't in Chain of Command. Thus anything from said Senator would be more like a request. Admittedly, Flagg is between a rock and a hard place.

Senators ARE on oversight commissions and if the Col. is current under such oversight for this specific 'metahuman collaboration mission' he may be under the direction of such a Oversight committee. 'shrug'..but yeah I get your point.

Or perhaps a FORCE android posing as a senator was instructed to pull out all stops to undo the damage the task force was about to do?

Oh I caught that part. =->

Victory through the power of rock. Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny have hopefully taught me well.

In reply to SSOGM (msg # 16):

Oh, THAT's obvious.. and what I thought almost soon at Flagg replied.

Gah Sorry Crusader... I don't think with 0 actions left, I can even do that non-attack thing of shifting the aim of my wings fans to comply until next round.

And HONESTLY Justicar has done a CRAP TON of things this round.. he's done.

@ Lite Star  - Remember, SSGM has taken away everyones 2 free action as the normal rules say. And he has also removed the extra action boxing gives.  If Hikari were getting ALL his RAW actions he'd have 3 more to use as well.

Yes I know the GM has gone with only the attacks granted by hand to hand skills, boxing and powers.



So yes, Lite Star has 4 attacks left to use.

Updated "Bald Man" descriptions. Most of my description information is based off of when I click on names, so I didn't see a lot - I worked with what I saw.

I am dry. Can someone bash them?

I am uncertain how many effects are still active and where, exactly. Throw Snowblind out of the danger zone and I'd cheerfully punch on him so that we could get out - or slam him onto the Carpet and deny him his movement. If I could detect Phantasma, I'd force her to shorten her reach, so that she'd stop hitting our rear with hard light constructs.

Otherwise, I'm honestly half afraid I'd be stuck in if I jumped in on Snowblind with no plan - I don't float or fly, to my knowledge. I jump. Cicada is still in this fight, as soon as they break out, so all I know is whatever we do, we need to do it fast.

In reply to Winter Herald (msg # 24):

So.... No more kid gloves?  Cause Justicar has been holding back almost 75% of his actual fire power, and I do mean non-explosive ordinance... not shooting anything that explodes with all of us so close anymore.  But I've not been hitting with my most powerful attacks not wanting to risk killing  anyone intentionally.

Is that time past now?
