OOC
Nightshade is CON Stunned, so she won't get to act again until segment 5.

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 27):

Phase 4, Vibron attacks Flicker.

, Today: Vibron rolled 46 (with 15 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 5, 3, 2, 1, 6, 6, 2, 6, 3, 6, 4.

07:42, Today: Vibron rolled 12 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 6, 1.  Ocv 12.

In reply to Vibron (msg # 28):

Is Flicker out?

Vibron's blast hits Flicker's back (as he just ran past Vibron). Knocked off his feet, Flicker goes bouncing off the pavement to end facedown over a hundred feet from his attacker. He doesn't get up.

OOC: assuming eight inches of knockback and the thirteen inches Flicker had ran past Vibron, he is unconscious (-13 STUN) and laying on the pavement 140' (21") from Vibron, assuming the use of the 'Recovery Time Table' Flicker will begin to recover post-segment twelve

In reply to Flicker (msg # 30):

(bringing SS in)

Vibron makes sure the heroes stay unconscious.  He gets the 2 together.  Just as he ties up the 2 (body 5, def 3) Nightshade you won't be able to fly until you are not restrained

A van pulls up with a guy in a costume behind the wheel.

Sharpshooter arrives before they are loaded up.

OOC Actually, Sharp was planning on starting in when he was about 1300" away or less. Whereever the top of the Primus building is in relation to the fight. His sniper rounds could keep Vibron too busy dodging to keep the other two unconscious.

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 32):

We will back up then.  Unconscious enough to restart at phase 12

Vibron calls for a pick up. Sharpshooter arrives.

In reply to Quozaxx (msg # 33):

Vibron ties up Nightshade and Flicker up, keeping them unconscious (realized he had time to do that) .

Now SS can arrive.  The pick up van is on its way

Out of nowhere, a shot rings out. It skips off the cement ground, ricochets off a drainpipe, and bounces off a dumpster to slam into Vibron's back. The bullet pancakes against the villain, possibly making him stumble forward from an attack from an unexpected quarter.


Using 3 levels to Bounce, possibly gaining a surprise bonus.

Stun ×2 for out-of-combat attack?

Using special 'message' bullet.


08:43, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 11 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 5, 4.  Attack OCV 11 DCV 8, 3 bounces.

08:42, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 7 (with 2 body) using 2 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 2.  Sniper bullet damage.

08:42, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 2 (with 1 body) using 1 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2.  Stun Multiplier .

Hits DCV 11, does 7 BODY 14 STUN (×2?)

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 35):

Vibron has a force field.  1d6.  If I roll 3 or less he had his force field on

19, Today: Vibron rolled 3 (with 1 body) using 1 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3.

Let me calculate..

16 stun got through.  But as surprised as he was, he's not stunned.

ill get you for that.

OOC From 400" (0.5 miles) away? He doesn't even SEE Sharpshooter. No point saying anything until he gets closer.

A metalical body comes running for Vibron. Moving fast he tries to get him away from the pair with a kick. "Stay away from them!" He screams after the kick and gets in a standard boxing stance. His mirrored face shield made his voice sound almost electronic. The rest of his body made him look like a metallic action toy or a luchador silver painted doll.


OOC:
18:55, Today: Maxor rolled 45 (with 13 body) using 13 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3, 1, 4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 4, 3, 6.  Kick damage. (13 body if hit.)

18:54, Today: Maxor rolled 11 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3, 3, 5.  To hit. (Kick) OCV -2 DCV +1.

Maxor

As Vibron is engaged, Sharpshooter takes action in swinging closer to the action.


80" noncombat. Now 320" away.

In reply to Maxor (msg # 38):

Vibron only felt the impact.  He turns to find his attacker only to be hit by Major

(Technically you would have missed, but this was more dramatic)


Vibron is stunned (by 1 point)

Phase 12.  Vibron recovered from being stunned

Next

In reply to Vibron (msg # 40):

(That means you can attack)

On phase 3, Sharp moves closer to the action, eyes searching for a vantage point.

Move 80" noncom speed. Now 240" away.

Seeking a vantage point from which to fire instead of covering the last 80", or a portion thereof.


20:07, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 7 (with 2 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 1, 4.  Perception 15-.

In reply to Vibron (msg # 43):

Vibron realizes that SS would be incredibly hard to hit at that range.  Nightshade and Flicker have had opportunity to recover as does Vibron.  . I have backup coming hero.  Are you sure you want to fight?  I have proven to be more powerful and we already have your fat friend. We will pick you off one at a time.

In reply to Vibron (msg # 44):

SS, you get a buzz that Ocean has sent her coordinates.

Vibron sees his back up arriving.  . The Baron wants to see how powerful his newest chemical is.  You remember Fire and Ice don't you?

Fire and Ice was an undercover Primus agent.

As he begins to wake, Flicker's first thought had to do with how he could use the reactive crystal matrix in his costume to store the energy from blows like Vibron's. His second thought was much less coherent, but the temporal wonder refused to complete it. Knowing that anger wouldn't help Nightshade, Flicker focused on what would.
From Flicker's point of view, as Vibron buzzed the 'r' in 'Fire' everything stopped moving. Worming his way to Nightshade, Flicker slid his face on the ground and managed to get his shoulders underneath his unconscious and bound friend. Pulling his knees forward, he inchwormed the two of them away down the street. Mouthing imprecations against the temporal force he struggled against, Flicker forced himself to keep moving while time stood still.
Pushing his way against the time stream as far as he could, Flicker relaxed his hold on the temporal flux and found he could barely hear Vibron say "and Ice, don't you?"
From everyone else's point of view, Flicker and Nightshade vanished from where they lay and reappeared over half a football field away, still bound.

OOC: Non-combat teleport, 32" away down the street. Flicker is still pretty done in

In reply to Flicker (msg # 46):

As awareness dawned on Nightshade, she managed to chirp and instantly got the picture of her current environment. All of her remaining senses, except sight, told her that she was next to a quite familiar person while still being bound. "Flicker," she groaned softly, "Did you get the name of that 50 meter T-rex that stomped on me?"

While her senses sharped to crystal clarity, she mentally took inventory of her condition and came to the conclusion that a little more rest was needed, along with a situational update.

"Hey, handsome hunk of brain. When you feel up to it, give me a sitrep."

Flicker groans, and though he attempts to fill Nightshade in his cognitive skills seem to be a bit off as he says, "I moved us away from whatsit, but we're tied up, which I don't remember discussing... so I'm assuming someone else did it."

Sharpshooter waits until the backup van arrives. When it parks, he launches a Bunker Breacher at the roadway just under the front axle. The shaped explosive shatters the roadway under the front end of the vehicle, causing the van to sag into the sewers below. Pointed downwards at a 45 degree angle, it wouldn't be transporting anybody anytime soon.

RANGE MOD =-8.
6 PSLs applied vs Range Mod
2 combat levels applied vs Range Mod
1 Overall level to DCV (9).


01:38, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 8 (with 2 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 5, 1.  Hit DCV 3 Hex, OCV 8.

Effect is 2" Tunnelling at Range, penetrating up to 18 DEF

"Right, because if I tied myself up, I'd be wearing Victoria's Secret." Nightshade replied. After another moment to get her bearings, she added, "That's better. Give me a moment to flex into place, and I'll take a bite out of your bonds." she added.

Once her mouth was at Flicker's restraints, she whispered, "I'm going to bite you free, so don't move until I kiss you."

Careful not to injure Flicker, she takes a bite.

OOC
Nightshade rolled 8 Body using 2d6 Armor Piercing ((4, 4)).

Flicker snickers, and does a bad Henny Youngman impression, which would be lost on anyone under retirement age anyway, "take a bite, please."
It's likely he's still a little loopy.
