Yup, the fight is on and had Bellissima go because of that, even if she is giving herself a major headache. ;)

Five bad guys on the map, but six rolled initiative. I knew I had a good reason for remaining in the wings.

Been a long day gang. I'll post something now. Hopefully won't be too terrible and will make sense.

Posting from my phone so short and without much frills. Sorry.

In reply to Bellissima (msg # 24):

Hey Belle..you've got one action to try to incapacitate Provider before he tries to mind control someone... choose wisely!

In reply to JUSTICAR (msg # 28):

You mean roll good, because I don't have much choice. :)

OK so the Whisperer is apparently a Juicer, judging by our inability to hit her. Still, if she is too busy dodging us, she isn’t launching her own attacks.

In reply to Runa (msg # 30):

Yeah she at least is at our level of skill if not more cause those mods she is rockin' are darn near just as high as Justicar's!  She's Dangeroeus... and I bet she just went incorporeal!

EDIT:  Then again... she used all her actions to dodge... rather than 'Automatic parry' all those melee attacks spending no actions... which might indicate she has NO Hand to Hand skill at all!

Actually, The Whisperer has an automatic dodge. Her actions were used to vibrate till she's insubstantial. Her high bonuses are a combination of her powers, numerous physical skills, and a high PP.
If you think Whisperer is cool, wait till you see Moppet... again.

No shit?  Damn...think your right Runa... she is a Juicer!

Hopefully Bellissima activated her See the Invisible power in time to catch what Moppet is up to.

In reply to Bellissima (msg # 34):

Considering Moppet's name... and the fact SSOGM... makes a point to repeat how light the attack feels coming at Belle... I think its a toy.  Moppet is puppeteering in some fashion a toy to attack Belle.. maybe?!? 'shrug'

In reply to JUSTICAR (msg # 35):

I was thinking that Moppet can shrink to toy size, which is why the attack feels light.

Moppet's another neat one. Shrinking without losing mass, insect-like wings, and the ability to be weightless at will.

If my experience with comic book shrinkers is any indication, Moppet has the potential to hit really hard. Then again, I haven't yet read shrinking in Palladium, and I'll do it after this post.

Also, I'm curious - does Winter Herald still have a bead on Trishula? At this point, my radar is up, so he'd have to have a really good vanishing spell, like that bad boy Goliat had been using.

He's not using superior invisibility (there's actually a sixteen year old argument on the palladium forums concerning that spell), just the one that makes someone invisible to normal sight. For Winter Herald, he would be visible to infrared, ultraviolet, and radar.

Merry Christmas!

I'm sort of waiting for CMZ to act before I capitalize on Dr. Phage's disorientation and take him into custody...

In reply to SSOGM (msg # 39):

Except right now in the cloud of darkness does that hinder non-normal sight like IR, UV?  Radar of course still works...

It's a cloud of smoke. As if from a smoke grenade, but generated by magic.

Hope I'm not 'assuming ' too much both Trishula and Dr. Phage horribly failed their toxin saves to resist his stun gun {blaster} shots ~ so should be at -10 to parry, dodge, or strike... Justicar should have little trouble grabbing and restraining them... I hope?

Ok so not only does the Whisperer have Auto-Dodge, she is apparently intangible too.

I'm open to suggestions on what to have Runa do next.

In reply to Runa (msg # 45):

Well.. typically in Palladium.. Intangibility is not total.  Usually the vulnerabilities are based off the source of the intangibility...be it transformation into a energy form or perhaps actual intangibility.  In whisperer's case she is not solid...because she is vibrating her molecules to a high frequency to be semi-incorporeal, but she is still there she Still has particles.. matter simply can pass through her.

So use attacks that attack the particles of her body directly like electricity or perhaps fire or sonic.  Psionic attacks will work just fine... but I understand Belle is practically empty of ISP right now.

Also she may still need to breathe so there is that. Also her senses are likely still vulnerable to attack.

Sorry that Justicar is the only one who really has energy attacks of different varieties... and the Bio-ship ate my KO Gas grenade I fired at her.

Though you all have a single Stun/Flash grenade each... that might work on her? Loud bang, bright flash... of course, your all clustered around her currently.

But don't sweat it. she goes on Intv 22...so she will probably leave since none of you can hinder her movement ~ None of us can prevent that.

Yah, don't think Runa's abilities can effect anyone intangible regardless of method. Pure GM call on that. Even if if she can use power touch, it would require her to actually TOUCH the target. Since she has effectively proven Runa can't touch her, short of a Natural 20, its a moot point.

In reply to Runa (msg # 47):

Don't sell Runa short... magic is ...'Special'.... it many times bypassess certain defenses!  Can't hurt to try her power touch.. remember its not that you are not touching the intangible person... but that your physical form is passing through them like sand. Your still touching the 'sand' your hand is just passing through it. But your magic can still affect it...even IF your hand finds no solid grasp.
