In reply to Wraith (msg # 132):

Requim laughs.  . Look, last time it took a group to just defeat Frost and me.  I'm sure, with Ripper on our team we could do more.  Plus you are all alone.  So do we have to take you out first?

Phase 12

They are ready for an attack, but waiting to see what you do.

Sentinel continues to await the arrival of the elevator while his teammates continue their tasks.

"Sigh, I suppose it is in bad taste to bet against Wraith." Warhammer mutters as he joined Sentinel in waiting for the elevator to arrive.

As she helps get Radar and Sonar to the medics, Najewa asks "what are the abilities of Requim, Ripper, and Frost? Knowing might help." (She directs this to the administrator if he is still present).

In reply to Requim (msg # 133):
"Oh don't worry your little heads off I'm just scouting for the main team which includes the Crusaders, Champions and a few independant heroes here so far"
"I'm just here as a courtesy call, so we don't have all that bloody paperwork when this is all over"
"you know all hands on deck, Red Alert, DefCon 0, sorta thing"

In reply to Wraith (msg # 137):

The elevator stops at each floor to pick up bots.  When it gets to the top, you will have to face about 20 assorted bots.

Then we had better hurry.  . Wraith, they will attack if you don't.  You have the better red

The warden replies.  . Frost is ice based.  Requim is sound based.  And Ripper is a brick. 

With the bits leaving, the floor right below you has the guards putting the prisoners back in their cell.  Geothermal and Glacier are still unconscious.

Leaving only Ripper, Requim, and Frost two floors below you.

Najewa asks "can we cut the cables to the elevator or otherwise disable it?"

Sardonically, Malleable Man comments "maybe we could have Wraith suggest her friends use the elevator? Two birds one Ripper, so to speak?"
While they try to figure out what to do, he tries an idea. As he attempts to assume the semblance of one of the robots, he asks that someone, "lets me know if I get this right."

In reply to Najewa (msg # 139):

(radio)yes we can cut the cable and thin the robot numbers in the elevator shaft using it as a choke point

"you 3 have a choice go back to your cells or face all the bots coming up"

"the shaft will be blocked and anything coming up will be attacked"
Wraith will proceed back up the 1st floor

"You will also need to disable the safeties if want it to go crashing down to the bottom." Warhammer said.

"No time to delay," the mystic nods, his hands glowing in power, "let's get the doors open and stop the elevator from ascending first."

He concentrates on the elevator doors, using his abilities to try to force them apart and expose the shaft.

33 STR TK to try to force the doors open.  Not sure if that will be enough.

In reply to warhammer (msg # 142):

The fax signal is louder

we already broke the wall.  We just need to hurry and tunnel outcomes

(is Wrath still respond?)

In reply to Frost (msg # 144):

Frost freezes Wrath (you should have answered the Ooc)

The fax signal is obvious now as the elevator pics up the last bots the floor below you.

The Death stroke trio start to use their powers to dig.  Frost puts up his ice armor.

The Warden says.  at least we can probably determine where they will emerge and none of them tunnel. So that should stall them.  Plus. Requim doesn't have his protective suit on.

(Next post the bots sill emerge.  What do you do to prepaid for them?)

Najewa asks "is there any way to start a fire alarm? Wouldn't that shut down the elevator automatically and open the doors? That way, Ripper and Company will have 30 'bots to deal with instead of escaping, and we can clean up whoever or whatever is left." She positions herself near the elevator doors in case her idea will not work.

Malleable Man, currently attempting to wear the appearance of a security robot, asks "just out of curiosity, did these things actually need the car, or would they have been able to float up the shaft without it?"
He starts to morph, again, this time shrinking to the size of a skinny toddler as his hands deform into blades.

In reply to Malleable man (msg # 147):

. Good idea, only the Small ones fly, a d they don't work underwater.  </b!he>

He turns off the elevator on Requim floor and opens the doors.  The fax tone coming from the monitors change.  The bits start to climb. Up the emergency ladder.

<blue> we!! That didn't work. 

You slowed them down.  What do you XO?

In reply to Arthur wildman (msg # 148):

What does anyone else besides Najawea and Malleable man do?

What was the result of Sentinel trying to open the elevator doors with his TK?

msg 143 above

In reply to Sentinel (msg # 150):

They open easily. And Najewa destroyed the top of the ladder.

The tone on the fax signal changes and the bots use their strength to punch holes in the wall to climb.  The flying bots reach the top.

Everyone else goes first.  2 bots per hero

In reply to GM (msg # 151):

What does Warhammer and wrath do?

Najewa calls out "disconnect the fax! That's how they are getting programmed."

In reply to Najewa (msg # 153):

Still waiting on wealth, Warhammer, and noe honor kids.

Prove to me you still want the game to go on!

Otherwise it dies.

Pointing the ZF-1A towards the nearest bot, a blast of copper jacketed bullets streaked towards it, punching holes into its frame.

Hit DCV 10 for 15 body
15:31, Today: warhammer rolled 15 using 4d6 with rolls of 4,2,5,4.  Damage.

15:31, Today: warhammer rolled 10 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3, 2, 5.  Attack Bot

Having identified the problem, Najewa listens and locates the fax machine. With superhuman strength she rips out the wires leading into it.

18:22, Today: Najewa rolled 10 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 3, 2.  Perception 19-.

In reply to Najewa (msg # 156):

Warhammer who has computer programming, electronics, robotics, inventor and security systems ignores the changing fax sound and boasts a bot.

Najewa who doesn't, realizes the signal is controlling the bots and gets an extra experience point.

A random guard pushes a computer console down the elevator shaft temporarily blocking the rest of the bots.

Giving the players one more chance.  Ginormica and wrath go outside as the terrible threesome just dug their way up.

Now lets try other methods besides just shooting bots.
