"Necessary Evil" IC

Gemini

"DO try not to destroy what we came here for...." the Helis-look-alike Gemini insists, looking about at the destruction Brick and Sorceress just unleashed. Then he launches another Toxotes attack at the remaining K'tharen, as the other Gemini rains down a Fire Bolt on that same K'tharen. Unfortunately, both strikes go wide as the two Geminis appear to be having trouble adapting to these new powers.

[sblock=ooc]Repeating last round's attacks, on the remaining K'tharen inside the warehouse......... And I'm beginning to seriously hate the ENW diceroller. It has a major hate-on for Gemini doing anything useful.

Round 1

"Now thy taste the fury of the gods!" Helis claims, as he swings his sword at the shark like alien. His sword bounces off the scales of the creatures. "Demon! You'll not escape your destiny again! I'll have thy head in a pike!"
"DO try not to destroy what we came here for...." the Helis-look-alike Gemini insists, looking about at the destruction Brick and Sorceress just unleashed. Then he launches another Toxotes attack at the remaining K'tharen, as the other Gemini rains down a Fire Bolt on that same K'tharen. Unfortunately, both strikes go wide as the two Geminis appear to be having trouble adapting to these new powers.
The remaining K'tharen strikes with his cybernetic enhanced claws at Helis futilely.

K'tharen 1 - 1 bruised
K'tharen 2 - out

[/SBLOCK]

Players up, then aliens again!

Ben O'hare, aka Brick

Ben shrugs. "What can I say? I always was prone to breaking my toys as a kid."

Seeing the lone standing alien, Ben leaps across the room, trying to pin the creature to the floor as he did Helis a few days prior.

Sorceress

The Sorceress, still standing on the roof an looking down, waits for the reinforcements to arrive, which can't take long, as there were some drones spotted outside of the building.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Hold Action

When new opponents arrive, I will use the Chain Lightning (Selective Area Blast) on them, again (Reflex 20 - success: Toughness 20 / failure: Toughness 25).[/SBLOCK]

Ben O'hare, aka Brick

Brick starts working over the pinned alien, but the movement catches his eye and his hold on the creature slips....

Gemini

Both Geminis wait to strike as soon as a new enemy comes into their lines of sight, or if Brick loses hold of his foe, in which case they'll blast that K'tharen instead.

[sblock=ooc]Fire Bolt and Toxotes blast on whichever foe first shows up or escapes the grapple. And after this round I'm gonna start using InvisibleCastle again instead, darnit.[/sblock]

OOC: Grapple rules are still a bit fuzzy to me....

Click to expand...

Helis uses the chance when the alien is pinned to try and finish it.

Helis quickly dispatches the grappled shark-alien. The remaining two drones are no match for the sorceress' and her doppelganger's magic. They fall in a precise hail of fire and lightning.
Using teleportation portals, you quickly travel back to the sewers, Brick and Helis carrying the 'bribe' and Dr Destruction's tech.

"Very well. You did what we asked for and I will keep my promise. Chloe here will lead you to Terron's old place." Valerie happily agrees as the food and medcine is distributed.

Chloe turns out to be a young woman with a strange skin coloration. She leads you through a labyrinth sewers and caves to a narrow drainage hole leading upward.

"You will have to expand it a bit to fit though. This will be as far as I will go. I will wait nearby for your return." Chloe explains.
