Loki
You dive for cover, scambling for the door as you cry out your warning. The whine from the flash card intensifies until....

PSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!

Smoke billows out of the computer, but there is no explosion. Electricity surges through the computer, frying its internals. White smoke fills the room in short order, sending Loki staggering out into the storage facility, coughing and hacking.

I guess it figures there wasn't enough explosive in a flash card to cause any real damage.

"That wasn't so bad," says Loki with an embarrassed grin. "Sorry about the commotion folks," he says, dusting himself off and trying to look casual. "But I think I've found something that's worth it. Take a look at this!" He shows everyone the tracking device, and the little red dot representing the escaping truck with Ghost at the wheel.

OOC: I'll spend the HP. If I come conscious, I'll Half: Stand from prone, Half: Total Defense.

Initiatives: Jackal 28 (4HP, 1L, 1S), Sho 23 (2VP, 1L, fatigued), Kevin 22 (5HP, 1L, 2S, stunned), Dara 20 (3HP, 2S, stunned), Xi 15 (1HP, 1L), Li 14 (1HP, 1L, disabled), Warriors (3), Havok 13, Amazon 12 (3HP, 1L), X12 10 (4HP, 1L, 8S, KO, disabled), Carl 4 (5HP, 2L, stunned)

KO recovery check (DC17): 19 succeeds

X12 groans and seeing Raisa about to stomp his head into the cavern floor, rolls away and to his feet.

Jackal ignores those attacking him and charges straight at Sho. His claws rip through her force field, drawing bloody lines across her stomach. She slams up against the wall, her mental control temporarily broken over Raisa.

Sho quickly recovers though, and X12 feels something strike his mind. Instantly, everyone in the room, friend and foe, reels, clutching at their heads as a mental blast rips through the chamber.

Attack roll: 26 (on X12)
Reflex saves (DC21): Jackal 27, Kevin 6, Dara 20, Xi 22, Li 18, Warriors 14, Amazon 10, Carl 8
Will saves (DC Varies): Jackal [21] 18 (1L), Kevin [26] 20 (1L, stunned), Dara [19] 24, Xi [21] 17 (1L), Li [26] 8 (HP 14) (1L, disabled), Amazon [26] natural 20 (1L), X12 [26] 7 (HP 14) (1L, disabled), Carl [26] 18 (1L, stunned), Warriors [26] Only 3 make it without dying

Kevin staggers, ears ringing, and his powers flit away from him rapidly. Li screams and collapses to the ground, unable to move as her mind is devastated by the attack. Carl reels from the blow, dropping his gun as he clutches at his ears. Of the eight terra cotta warriors, five collapse, armor disolving, including the ones holding Dara. Only the one near Kevin and two that Jackal left to attack Sho remain standing. X12 collapses immediately, his mind reeling.

Disabled recovery check happens next round.

Sho then turns and flees towards the tunnel, gaining thirty feet on those closest to her!

Kevin is up, if he wants to use a hero point to recover from stunned.

 

[Velmont]

Kevin's head is in pain, and can't do a thing.

OOC: I'll spend no HP against the warrior if he hit.

Initiatives: Jackal 28 (4HP, 1L, 1S), Sho 23 (2VP, 1L, fatigued), Kevin 22 (5HP, 1L, 3S, KO), Dara 20 (4HP, 2S), Xi 15 (1HP, 1L), Li 14 (1HP, 1L, disabled), Warriors (2), Havok 13, Amazon 12 (3HP, 1L), X12 10 (4HP, 1L, 8S, KO, disabled), Carl 4 (5HP, 2L)

As Kevin tries to defend himself from the terra-cotta warrior nearby, Dara shakes off her own mental lethargy and growls towards Sho. Sho suddenly slides to a halt, jerking around towards Dara.

"Come here!" Dara growls loudly, and Sho lurches back towards Dara. Dara has taken mental control of Sho! "Now stand still," she orders, and Sho freezes in spot. Dara's though processes are dark and foreboding, sending a shiver through Raisa's mind. "Hey, Raisa. You remember Sho? Why don't you say hi," Dara says coldly.

Seeing the situation, Xi leaps forward, putting himself between Dara and the two warriors who had been attacking Jackal, and just in time. The men step forward, and launch an attack on Xi. One collapses as Xi returns the blows, the other remaining standing. Xi appears unhurt. Li remains unmoving on the floor.

The final warrior punches Kevin in the jaw, dropping him on the spot.

Attack roll: 18 hits
Damage save (DC23): 12 (1S, KO)

Will wonders never cease! Raisa gets a turn! Then back to the top of the order.

 

[Deva]

Her mind her own again, Raisa turns to Sho with a muderous glare that is all her own. She is a little surprised at Dara's thoughts, but her's are no less dark as she has been dreaming of this momentfor a long time."With pleasure," She spits venomously in response to Dara's suggestion.

She stalks toward the unmoving woman and, without skipping a beat, drives her fist straight toward Sho's face. There is no pulling her punch this time. She wants the woman bleeding and in severe pain and if god willing... Dead.

"Hey Michelle," Vince whispers as he comes close to his leader. "What did Spinderella there mean by the debt is paid? He better freaking realize that this is our bust and not his."

Nah, more then likely Thunder helped him out sometime and he considers this payback, although you would figure he would be a little more happy to help take down Mason. Michelle whispers back.

He shows everyone the tracking device, and the little red dot representing the escaping truck with Ghost at the wheel.

Michelle will show the tracking device to Loco (if he is still around.) We believe that this is tracking the truck that Ghost stole, since the majority of my team is incapacitated can your team look into it?

Raisa steps up to the unmoving Sho, who is obviously very much desirous of movement, and slams into her with all her strength. The invisible shield has vanished, likely courtesy of Dara, and the impact is equally as devastating to Sho as it was to X12 moments before.

Attack roll: 19 hits (was just rolling for a crit or natural 1)
Damage save (DC23): 11 (1L, disabled) -- You said murderous... -5 damage = lethal

Jackal wastes no time pouncing on the terra-cotta warrior that just hit Kevin. The man's stone skin disolves, and the man goes down hard under Jackal's weight.

Sho collapses to the floor, bones in her face obviously broken, staring blankly to the side and unmoving. Dara, however, makes her get up. Sho does so, much like a marionette.

Xi moves forward and punches at the final warrior, his fist passing through stone and then bone, killing the man instantly.

X12 Recovery check (DC20): 22 succeeds

That brings it to Raisa and X12. X12 is still unconscious, at least for a minute.

Loco takes the tracking pad and examines the direction the truck is heading. "The majority of the Elite Forces are very distant," he says. "But I shall see about heading Ghost off myself, though I doubt I have the ability to stop him alone," he says, stepping over to where the hole had been filled in by Mason. "The tunnel is obviously down here," he says, as he starts to spin, obviously with the intent of tunnelling downward.

 

[Deva]

Raisa will deliver a savage uppercut to Sho with the same force as the first hit.
