Octavia, The Fallen Angel PL10

Octavia comments wryly from her cover, "Victims art weak and of no consequence."

Seeing the effectiveness of the ring's power against the drones, she mentally assaults another one nearby.

Fallen Angel

Gemini

Gemini-Octavia flinches for a moment at one drone's rather accurate blast, but snarls and turns invisible again, moving off to the side. Then he/she blasts back with the ring, reappearing.

Meanwhile, Gemini-Brick recovers from his poorly-aimed strike, and tries a simpler, lunging punch this time. If he smashes the drone well enough, he steps up to the next one to prepare for more smashing.


[sblock]Since using a hero point to improve a roll always results in a minimum roll of 11, Gemini-Octavia's minimum Toughness result would be 21, a mere "bruised" condition. The 23 with the hero point re-roll results in no damage, but man do I hate this dicebot......stupid strings of identical or near-identical rolls.

Gemini-Octavia resumes Invisibility as a free action, then moves some 10 or 20 feet off to the side before Blasting back at the drone that wounded him/her. Reappears, won't be able to reactivate Invis until next turn. I factored Sneak Attack into the damage this time due to Invisibility.

Gemini-Brick tries again to smash a drone, and if successful, steps up to another one to menace it up-close.

Remember that Gemini has Elusive Target, so enemies take -4 to hit him with ranged attacks as long as he's in melee, unless they have Precise Shot 2 or something.

Siren stays near Brick and focuses her mental assault on another drone.

[sblock=combat]Same as last time, DC 25 Will save.[/sblock]

Helis had slipped his sword in the base of the neck of the shot prisoner, the blade coming out of his throat. The greek slives the dword back, as the body falls down, the blade dripping warm blood. As he hears the tacit challenge from behind, he turns, a wicked looking smile fixed in his leaps. "It is, will thy face Helis the Destroyer on thou own, tiny maggot? I'll love to take thou intestines out and feed them to thy."

Sorceress

Seeing Helis vanish through her portal together with the prisoners, the Sorceress sighs and keeps concentrating on it for now instead of her original plan to shut it close.


OOC: Whoops, I thought I had posted this here already, but it was in the OOC only...

Round 2

Brick swears as he misses his drone target, but chuckles at Siren's compliment. "I think I'll take that as a compliment," he says with a good-natured grin. Then he starts swinging at drones again. He is hitting hard, but the drone is only staggering back, still active.

The drones fire back, hitting G-Brick and Sorceress. The sorceress' force field has no problem defending her ...

Other side of the portal:

Helis had slipped his sword in the base of the neck of the shot prisoner, the blade coming out of his throat. The greek slives the dword back, as the body falls down, the blade dripping warm blood. As he hears the tacit challenge from behind, he turns, a wicked looking smile fixed in his leaps. "It is, will thy face Helis the Destroyer on thou own, tiny maggot? I'll love to take thou intestines out and feed them to thy."
"You are a foul! I have no intestines. I'm made of pure energy!" The glowing shape responds crackling.

Octavia, The Fallen Angel PL10

Octavia waits to see if the others are able to finish off at least three of the remaining drones. The she sends another mental blast at the last of the dwindling supply of drones.

With the pursuit eliminated, she flies to the portal and steps through.

Fallen Angel

"This is taking too long, we need to get out of here." Siren steps out from behind Brick and opens her mind, Unleashing the full force of her power on the drones.

[sblock=ooc]
Using Extra Effort for Power Stunt to gain an AP Mental Blast, adding Shapeable Area to affect all the baddies, and the action flaw to even the cost out. Full action: AOE Mental Blast, no attack/reflex save. Will save DC 25 vs damage.

Sorceress

“In case he isn't coming by himself, maybe someone should go through the portal and tell that big bruiser that we are headed to the center of the camp here for pick-up, and then come back here with him. I will keep it open for now. If I have to close it, stay there, I will come and get you back here.”

Being reasonably certain, that her allies can defeat the drones, the Sorceress keeps concentrating on the portal, hoping that they manage to sort out on which side they want to end up at the end.

Helis grins, "It is of no consequence." says Helis, as he jumps to attack with his sword. In a fraction of a seconds he has deliver several blows! However, none of them appears to have affected the energy creature.
