In reply to Photon (msg # 30):

SS and Nightshade you are both up. Phase 3

Sharp takes a quick glance around at other buildings nearby for a fallback position, hoping to keep the range open while he lays into his foes. While he does this his practiced hand activates his Tangler load. He fires a quick shot at Vibron, skipping it off the pavement to strike from below.


Perception 14-

6 levels offset range penalties.

1 level used to Bounce attack

2 levels to OCV.

10 OCV 8 DCV

20:26, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 14 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 5, 4.  Perception 14-.

20:26, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 12 (with 4 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3, 6, 3.  To hit Vibron, OCV 10.

20:24, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 12 (with 4 body) using 5 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 3, 2, 1, 4.  Tangler Body damage.

Sharpshooter fires an Entangle that hits DCV 9. IT wraps Vibron in an Entangle of 4 DEF 4 BODY. Both the target and the Entangle take damage from outside attacks.

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 32):

Question.  You are 60" away which is -8, your PSL is +3, so you should be still-5 , right?

Answer: As you only took -6 on Your attack, I figured to do the same. I have 6 PSLs, 2 combat w/guns, and 1 OVERALL level

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 34):

Yes -6 not 8 for range

OCV 10 +11 -6 range +6 Range mod - 12 roll = hits DCV 9 or less

Missed

Nightshade you are up

After making certain that Flicker is in a safe location where he can
continue to make recoveries. She's going to take a good listen and
look around to assess the current situation.

OOC
Nightshade rolled 8 using 3d6.  Hearing Perception (includes Active Sonar) 15-
Nightshade rolled 8 using 3d6.  Perception 12-

Made base Perception by 4 and Hearing/Active Sonar by 7.

This should enable her to know and target who and what is around her.
In addition, she's also looking for large objects to hit things with.

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 36):

Photon is 10" up and desolid, which I'm not sure how that effects hearing

Vibron is 10" away on the ground and you can hear him constantly vibrate.

Fire and ice, you hear a sound, like whispering in his ear constantly saying "kill them, kill the heroes." Over and over again.  He has a glazed look on his face and is 2" away

Only Nightshade hears the words. (Special hearing).

In reply to Quozaxx (msg # 37):

And she sees Crosscheck show up in a Primus car. (He can go on phase 5)

In reply to Quozaxx (msg # 38):

Your GM made a huge error.  Photon was stunned by SS,  END powers shut off when stunned (I forgot) his defense is a force field using END.  Sigh.  So, he is unconscious, not stunned (thanks for reminding me)

But, otherwise nothing changed.  SS still attack Vibron and missed. And F&I is waiting on Nightshade to act.  Still phase 3, but if you all hurry, poor crosscheck won't have anyone to attack.

Nightshade will grab the nearest empty automobile (preferably an SUV or Truck),
and attempt to hit Fire and Ice with it while visibly looking at Vibron.
(If you're curious how she can do this, she's using her hearing/Sonar to
target F&I. Hearing is a targeting sense.)

OOC

OCV 8 + 2 (at least for the vehicle) = OCV 10 vs F&I
Nightshade rolled 5 using 3d6 with rolls of 1,3,1.  Attack.

(With OCV 8 she hits DCV 14 or less)
(With OCV 10 she hits DCV 16 or less)

Damage 10d6
Nightshade rolled 31 (with 10 body) using 10 with the Hero (Champions) system

31 Stun, 10 Body

Nightshade rolled 7 (with 2 body) using 2 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Knockback.

3" KB.

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 40):

F&I is not stunned, but is knocked back 3".

He attacks Nightshade after sing half a phase to standing back up

14:50, Today: fire and Ice rolled 11 (with 3 body) using 2 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 6.  Knock back

14:50, Today: fire and Ice rolled 48 (with 13 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 6, 1, 4, 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 5, 6, 2.  Damage.

14:49, Today: fire and Ice rolled 8 (with 2 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 4, 1, 3.  OCV8.

14:45, Today: fire and Ice rolled 7 (with 2 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 1, 4.  Knock back damage

Ocean and Doll, phase 3

In reply to fire and Ice (msg # 41):

Ocean with use the access panel to surf a half move closer (10") closer to Vibron.

If this gets her within 6" she splay her pudgy fingers in front of her then hit him with a blinding spray, just missing hit as his blur was distracting...

After the powerful blast from Fire and Ice knocked her off of her feet 3" away
and left her laying on the ground, Nightshade became quiet and unmoving.


OOC
Nightshade took 48 Stun - Ed of 18 = 30 Stun and knocked back 3"

She is currently Stunned, but not unconscious.

The shrunken superheroine gasped as the sudden passing shadow of a large automobile passed overhead and quickly felt a sense of relief when it failed to collide with her but managed to strike Fire & Ice instead.  Lucky I wasn't a few inches taller.... she thought, but then I guess I probably wouldn't be out here doing something stupid like this if I was anywhere near my normal size again.

To her surprise, Fire & Ice was able to get back on his feet and was still continuing to fight.

Doll moved quickly to close the distance between them again, changing her tactics after seeing him shrug off the vehicle to concentrate her strength to almost a pinpoint.

OOC:
Half-move to get into HTH distance with Fire & Ice,
HTH attack, Armor Piercing
22:07, Today: Doll rolled 9 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 6, 1.  To Hit Fire & Ice, OCV 6.
22:10, Today: Doll rolled 23 (with 7 body) using 8 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 1, 2, 5, 2, 2, 4, 1, 6.  Damage Roll (If Hits), 8d6, Armor Piercing.

END: 32/40  STUN: 30/30  BODY: 10/10

In reply to Doll (msg # 44):

F&I damage shield effects Doll
Today: fire and Ice rolled 40 (with 11 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system ((4, 2, 6, 5, 5, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 1, 4)

But now he's unconscious.

Ocean roll some dice.

Then phase 4 & 5 (which Vibron was supposed to be phase 4 not 3,but since he missed... )

Oh, and if Vibron is blinded, I may let Crosscheck take him out. (If I haven't lost him)
.

In reply to fire and Ice (msg # 45):

OOC:  I did, she only hit dcv 2

In reply to fire and Ice (msg # 45):

Doll somehow manages to stagger out of the away while barely avoiding having Fire & Ice collapse on top of her when he went unconscious.

"I think that I'll leave it to the others to finish this up," she mutters incoherently to herself as she tries to steady herself from the daze that she is in before she falls down too.

OOC:  Doll is Stunned!
END: 32/40  STUN: 4/30  BODY: 10/10

In reply to Doll (msg # 47):

Phase 5

Vibron doesn't go until phase 6

Crosscheck, you act after some other pc's but, I'm going to let you go first since you have been patient.  Vibron is the only villain conscious.

Sharp chambers a rubber bullet and fires at Vibron. It hits him square in the sternum.


6 PSLs vs Range
3 lvls to OCV.
OCV 11 DCV 8.


20:36, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 5 (with 1 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3, 1, 1.  To hit Vibron, OCV 11.

20:35, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 29 (with 9 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 4, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 2, 5, 2, 1, 1, 2.  Rubber Bullets damage.


OOC: If you use the critical hit rule (roll less than half of what you need to hit), then this is likely a crit for max damage. That would be 24 BODY 72 STUN.
Otherwise, he takes 9 BODY 29 STUN

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 49):

(I don't usually use critical hit,, but he's stunned )

Vibron is stunned. Black Diamond finishes the job.

News vans caught the whole thing.  A reporter approaches the group as Primus hauls them away.  (unless you want to interrogate)

Neighborhood Watch, what happened here today

It takes a minute or so for Flicker to regain his senses, but once he has done so It only takes him a handful of seconds to be back to his normal self. His first concern upon recovering is to check on Nightshade, who he addresses with "how ya doin', dollface?"
Even so, Flicker keeps glancing at Vibron. Even the costume fully covering his face can't completely obscure the anger in those glances. "I'm not very good at talking to newshounds, soon as you're ready we can make tracks," he tells Nightshade.

In reply to Vibron (msg # 50):

"Unfortunately, the Neighborhood Watch cannot yet comment on an ongoing investigation, so our Denouement must be delayed..."

"Neighborhood Watch, we've no time to lose!  Follow us!"

To Black Diamond:  "We need to go back, before he can cover his tracks!"

Calling out to Doll:  "Hey Doll!  Ride with Us!"  As she picks up the hatch plate and ponderously starts making her way towards Black Diamond's pickup...

Sharp verifies that a Primus team picked up the Ankylasaur Armor from where he stashed it, then follows MO in his own distinctive fashion, utilizing twin grapple guns.

Nightshade's first response is a groggy and angry, "Where's that shaking idiot with the name of a cheap electric dildo?" Once she sees all the current bad guys down, she looks to Flicker and answers, "I'm jacked and a little teed off, but I'll be ready to skedaddle in a moment."
She leaps over to Black Diamond, handing her a note, while saying, "Give this to Majestic O, tell I said that this is a clue, she and I need to chat asap."

With a leap, she rejoins Flicker, then waves goodbye to the reporter as they leave.

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 52):

As soon as the world stopped spinning and Primus had the situation under control, Doll made her way back to the front door of the homeless shelter to find that the auditors that she had traveled here with had gathered outside to watch in curiosity as the authorities took control now that the immediate threat was over.  Thankfully they didn't hit the shelter, she thought.  It would make the funds that she expected the foundation would be awarding to go further and address other critical needs.

"I'm sorry about separating from our group like that, Mr. Garing," she said apologetically to the organizer of this trip. "I felt that this was just a little bit more important under the circumstances."



Is that...?

Although she wasn't part of this group that she believed that she overheard as calling themselves the Neighborhood Watch, Doll felt the need to accompany them in case that this was just one of many such incidents that threatened the safety of the public.

Addressing her group again, she told them "I know this isn't very professional of me but I think that I need to see what's going on," as she turned to leave. "I'll send my evaluation report by tomorrow morning," she promised.

Breaking into a run, she dashed across the street and created a spectacle for anyone who noticed by easily leaping upwards several times her diminutive height to gently land in the pickup truck where Ava had been heading.
