The Malleable Man doesn't stop, his body fluidly changes direction as his left arm shoots out to find purchase and whip his whole body towards the scythe. "I knew he wasn't giving up about that thing."
Once to Najewa and the scythe (or just the scythe if she dropped it), Mal prepares to do what's necessary to keep the demons from the weapon.

Does Sentinel have any theories on weaknesses of possessed thralls like Thorn?

Are any more of Thorn's cohorts joining in?

Slow posting for another two days, I'm in backwoods Maine on vacation.  Only get a little service if I got to one top room of the cabin.  It's awesome

Despite her wariness, Najewa is caught by surprise by the vicious assault. The blast blows a hole in her stomach and she flies across the room, smoke trailing in her wake. She lands in a crumpled heap.

Ginormica grows to full height (as long as that's possible here), "Resistance is futile!" she quotes the Borg.

PRE Attack with Resistance is Futile :)
18:32, Today: Ginormica rolled 21 (with 7 body) using 7 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 3, 4, 3, 6, 2, 1.  Presence Attack.

In reply to Ginormica (msg # 42):

Wraith, if you are desolid,  so would be your punch.  Would you like to rephrase that?

Sentinel,  Thorne doesn’t have any known weaknesses.   But you do know how to use the scythe.   He surprised everyone so no one is helping him right now.

Wraith has a move of 20" and a 1/2 move of 10"
what is the distance to Thorne?
if greater than 10" Wraith will stay desolid and get as close to Thorne as possible
if the range is 10" or less, Wraith will turn solid and strike when she gets to him

"Najewa!" Sentinel cries out, a useless reaction, too late to prevent Thorn's surprise attack.  As she collapses the scythe drops beside her; no doubt the prize Thorn intends to claim.

The one thing they had to prevent above all else.

Moving swiftly the mystic reaching Najewa as the energies coalesce around him in a protective shell.

Activate Force Field
10" Flight to Najewa
Grab scythe

So, I paid for this Extra-Dimensional movement, was supposed to be for the Astral, Faerie, The Netherword, Elysium & Babylon as described in Mystic World source book.  What are my options of porting Najewa to Faerie or Elysium probably (not sure where her pantheon hangs out) for assistance?  Unfortunately I don't have a healing spell.

In reply to Sentinel (msg # 45):

Wraith:  11 + 8 - 13 (roll) = 6 or less DCV. She missed

Warhammer:  ocv 8 + 11 - 8 = DCV 11 or less.   Hit.
He is knocked down but not stunned.

Malleable man gets closer to the scythe

Ginormica grows and tries to frighten a man who works for demons.  But he does pause.

Sentinel grabs the scythe and feels the evil radiating from it.  The only way he could take Najewa to the other dimension is to pick her up and cary her there


And if Thorne is a demon,  pure silver may hurt him.

Seeing the scythe is protected, Malleable Man rushes to Najewa hoping to save his fellow hero. Realizing his limited knowledge of emergency medicine is not up to the task, he calls out "we need some help, here!"

truly stretching his legs allows Malleable Man to run very fast
11:26, Today: Malleable man rolled 12 using 3d6.  Paramedics (-10).

In reply to Malleable man (msg # 47):

Malleable man doesn't make things worse.

On the end of phase 12.  Thorne takes a half phase to get up and attacks Sentinel

09:35, Today: Lord Thorne rolled 16 (with 5 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Ocv 8.

Missed

Phase 2 and 3.  Thorne goes last.

Note:  he has a 30 PRE.

Am I suppose to post Phase 3 now?

Wraith will strike at Thorne again

11:21, Today: Wraith rolled 3 using 19-3d6 ((6,4,6)).missed again

Warhammer continued to blast at the demon, this time knocking it backwards.

22:24, Today: warhammer rolled 5 using 13-2d6.  Knockback.
22:23, Today: warhammer rolled 41 (with 13 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system ((2, 5, 2, 6, 6, 6, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 6)).
22:22, Today: warhammer rolled 8 (with 2 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Attack demon OCV 10.

In reply to Ginormica (msg # 49):

Since Ginormica only did a presence attack on 12. I think she can act on 12 as well.

OOC: Apologies, one more question.  When Sentinel was instructed on the use of the scythe could it to be used against active opponents or only once they were subdued?  Unclear if he can attack Thorn now or if we need Thorn unconscious 1st.

Najewa stirs in Sentinel's grasp as her bruises heal at an astounding rate. "Sentinel, wha-? I didn't know you cared" she gasps out. Then her voice hardens as events catch up to her. She growls out "typical white eyes! Attack from ambush. No honor. Give me a second to get my wind back, and there will be an accounting." she tells Sentinel.

You can use the scythe while he is up and active,  but it takes a whole phase and turns into an OAF.

T1 - Segment 3

"Oh of course," the blue-clad mystic grins as he barely manages to avoid the same deadly blast that laid Najewa low momentarily, "Have to demonstrate some proper gentlemanly manners after the ghastly display old Thorne here has shown.  Not too personal I suspect, think it's really the scythe he's after...well besides the whole demonic desire to kill and feast and summon greater nightmares to this plane."

"I'll see if I can keep his attention for a few more moments but not sure how long I can avoid those blasts of his.  Don't take too long."

His cape whips as Sentinel floats sideways, hoping to draw Thorne's focus from Najewa's direction.  He tries to move in the general direction of other heroes in case he should fall and another need protect the scythe.

"Oy Sticker...oh terribly sorry, Thorne, really it's an honest mistake.  I knew it was some kind of prick."

"Listen, how about you surrender now and I'll promise that when I use this scythe to rip that demonic entity from you body I'll do everything I can return it to its plane of origin.  Otherwise...otherwise I'll make sure its essence is consumed and dispersed completely.  You won't be fit to threaten a goldfish let alone serve...oy, what's your lord's name anyway?

Half move 10" and try to get Thorne's attention, maybe spill a detail or two
Will delay 2nd half to see how things pan out this Segment. Maybe Dodge.  Maybe blast his variable SFX attack set to silver.  We'll see....



So it's NOT an OAF now?  Nice

(I wouldn't be able to act in Phase 12, I grew to full size in Phase 12 which is a rull round action, I was asking if it was my turn in Phase 3 yet?)

In reply to Ginormica (msg # 57):

I think all the other heroes go before Ginormica.   But she goes before Thorne.

Technically the scythe is an OAF all the time, just very difficult to get out of Najewa's hands.

Ginormica reaches down and grabs Lord Thorne, "I think it's time to take out the garbage."

After she grabbed him she squeezed him. (Assuming she's successful in the Grab, but he's a big bad so you never know :) )


OOC:

Grab Maneuver

18:09, Today: Ginormica rolled 7 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Grab Lord Thorne.

18:11, Today: Ginormica rolled 42 (with 13 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Hold Onto Him (Strength BODY vs his casual strength free attempt). <==vs his free attempt when I try to grab vs his casual strength of course if I'm successful he'll probably try again on his normal phase time at full strength :)

18:19, Today: Ginormica rolled 41 (with 12 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Squeeze Damage to Lord Thorne.

END Used:
 Movement, if needed: 1 END
 Strength           : 6 END
 50 END - 6 (or 7) = 44 (or 43) END remaining.
 Current OCV is 6, Current DCV is 0 due to my size.
 Currently at 45 points of Growth (3 levels :) )
 STUN: 59, BODY: 19, PD/rPD: 18/15, ED/rED: 18/15, PRE 30

The scythe seemed to be well in hand, so the Malleable Man headed off to confront the dishonorable Lord Thorne. Mal's legs and torso sucked upwards expanding the size of his arms as they coiled till he appears to be a man-sized spring toy with a head in the center. His coils whip out and he rushes toward Lord Thorne like a slinky coming down stairs.

OOC:
half move (7") towards Lord Thorne combined with Altered Form Dodge (DCV 13)
uses one END for movement
movement will occur on segment 3

In reply to Malleable man (msg # 60):

Thorne is still not knocked out.  He leers.    See my followers.   I'm being attacked left and right and I'm still going strong.   Choose me now and become powerful like me.   Get that scythe for me!

Three thugs race to the scythe whiles Thorne attacks Ginormica with a glowing body
