B&S can't see the outcome of the pitched battle because of the large number of abondoned cars between the two halves of the team. The Tripod Walker isn't in sight yet. When Gun Monkey looks into the minivan he sees:1. Adult female, slumped on steering wheel 2. Young infant (less than 1 year old) strapped into carseat 3. Four year old girl cowering in the back of the minivan, gibbering incoherently for her mommy. On a positive note Pandora's serpent is making excellent progress on the barricade and will have a pathway opened in half the time expected (6 more rounds). The bugbots are intently "looking" towards the heroes. </p><p></p><p>04-27-06, 08:19 AM #92 </p><p>Bront </p><p></p><p>Gun Monkey will scoop up the baby and the mother after he holsters both his guns. "Come here little girl, let's get you out of here," he says.</p><p></p><p>OOC: that's about as diplomatic and calming as he gets , however, his Inhuman Appearance might cause problems with the little girl (Complication Activation). </p><p> </p><p></p><p>04-27-06, 09:11 AM #93 </p><p>Salix </p><p></p><p>Both bugbots take aim at the heroes near the van. Roughneck moves into the way to take the hit for Gun Monkey so he can extricate the family. One blast misses entirely, but the other arc blast hits Roughneck. The large bald man bends, but doesn't break. Gun Monkey is able to scoop up the youngest infant, but when he gets close to the other girl she begins to scream hysterically, "Leave my mommy alone!". Gun Monkey is beginning to think that the mother might not be in good enough condition to be moved. Meanwhile, Toad's head begins to clear.</p><p></p><p>OOC: 1 HP to Roughneck, taking the hit for teamate, 1 HP to OGM complication. </p><p> </p><p></p><p>04-27-06, 11:31 AM #94 </p><p>Bront </p><p>Gun Monkey comms to the others "The mother isn't in any condition to be moved. Someone's going to have to get her here."</p><p></p><p>"Come on little girl, we're taking you away from the bad bots. Someone's coming for your mother."</p><p></p><p>OOC: If she resists, Gun Monkey will have to grapple her. Grapple should be at +12 at the moment. </p><p></p><p>04-27-06, 05:49 PM #95 </p><p>Erekose13 </p><p></p><p> "Pandora, I think we need to be closer for me to have any effect on things. When your serpent has cleared the way, perhaps we can approach cautiously. I still want the two of us to be the rear line, here to escort civilians to safety." say Body and Spirit as he contemplates how best to help out. Were Ben/Spirit to seperate, the two of them might be of more use. </p><p> </p><p></p><p> 04-27-06, 06:28 PM #96 </p><p>Hellzon </p><p></p><p> Toad frowns as the bugbots keep firing at Gun Monkey, despite his attempt to save the civilians. "I guess manners didn't fit in your two-bit brains!" He leaps off, trying to occupy the bots again. Konrad, you'll have some work to do when we clear this up... he mentally notes dryly.</p><p></p><p>OOC: Charging at B1. Attack roll: 15</p><p>Oh, and I never quite got this: Are B1 and B2 between us and the ambulances? </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p>04-27-06, 07:17 PM #97 </p><p>Rybaer </p><p></p><p> "Copy that, Gun Monkey," Pandora says through the commlink. "We're clearing a path for the ambulance and will be there to get the woman as soon as possible."</p><p></p><p>She turns to Body and Spirit. "You're right, we really need to get in there. And I just had an idea of how to speed this up."</p><p></p><p>Pandora yells over to the EMS crew. "Get ready to move in. We'll go in with you and offer cover."</p><p></p><p>She reaches into her bag of tricks and hurls a small piece of metal toward the barrier of cars. As it flies, it expands in size and lands exactly where she wanted. It is essentially a portable ramp and bridge wide enough to allow the ambulance to drive up and over the pile of cars and safely down the other side.</p><p></p><p>"Let's go," she says to Body and Spirit. For now, she lets the Bronze Serpent continue its work in clearing a path. </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p> 04-27-06, 09:44 PM #98 </p><p>hero4hire </p><p>Hearing Monkey about the mother Nick glanced over his shoulder at the Minivan.</p><p></p><p>OOC: Is it damaged in anyway. If it looks like it will still run he yells over his Mic.</p><p></p><p>"Mebbe we can drive the Soccer Mom's Suburban? I'd hate to see an evac team get plugged!" </p><p> </p><p></p><p>04-30-06, 10:18 AM #99 </p><p>Salix </p><p>Toad leaps into the air and kicks bug 1, knocking the machine out of commission. The last remaining bot lashes out with his mandibles, missing the costumed adventurer. As Gun Monkey grabs the little girl she starts to scream uncontrollably. You hear a voice saying, "Just what do you think you're doing". Roughneck and Gun Monkey look up to see the lens of a TV camera looking at them. </p><p></p><p>Elsewhere... Pandora's ramp looks sturdy enough to drive the ambulance over. If the teamates at the barricade try they will find that the other three are out of radio communication again.</p><p></p><p></p><p>OOC: The van is between the bugs and the barricade. The mother is blocking access to the steering wheel, unless you want to risk moving her. Three rounds (18 seconds) to drive over ramp, the driver will have to get in vehicle, start it up, then be careful in driving over ramp with an awkward top heavy vehicle. Sorry it took me so long to get back to the game. Lots of late nights with work, then a day out of town today hiking and eating a great Basque dinner in Reno. Also had to figure out the create object power, wasn't sure if I'd allow at first because of size and complexity of object. As I interpreted it you can make up to a 5 foot cube for every power rank. Pandora also has precise, which helps. </p><p></p><p>Reminder- Game will go on hiatus May 2-9 while I go to Alaska. </p><p></p><p>04-30-06, 10:52 AM #100 </p><p>Bront </p><p></p><p>"We're getting you to safety little girl," Gun Monkey says to the girl in his arm.</p><p></p><p>He turns to whoever is behind the camera lense and asks "And what do you think you're doing?"</p><p></p><p>Not waiting for an answer, Gun Monkey holsters his other gun and quickly takes off with a mightly leap and begins making as much distance he can towards the end of the bridge, with his tail helping as an extra hand.</p><p></p><p>OOC: He's sure footed as well, so that should help. </p><p> </p><p> 04-30-06, 11:38 AM #101 </p><p>Hellzon </p><p></p><p>Toad, HP: 1, Damage: 2S</p><p></p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p></p><p>"You're next.

"Monkey will y--" Roughneck starts to say as he watches Monkey bound away. "$#*^!!! Alright I will do it myself..." He gets by the driver side door rips it off, puts the van into neutral and starts pushing/steering.</p><p></p><p>OOC: His effective strength for lifting is 34 w/ Boost so he is just shy of a van being a heavy load for him (lifting it overhead and moving 2/3) so Pushing/steering shouldn't be to much of an issue. He will be as gentle as possible over bumps and whatever. Maybe actually lifting it a bit over obstacles? If it is needed he will use Extra Effort to get the job done. Until he gets to a Medical Crew. </p><p> </p><p>04-30-06, 07:23 PM #103 </p><p>Salix </p><p></p><p> Any PR is good PR, right?</p><p></p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p></p><p>You see a man in a dirtied dress shirt, his tie smudged with grease, step in front of the camera. “This is Robert Wallace for Channel 4 News. You’ve seen it here first America. Apparently, these thugs are what America and the world has spent millions of dollars on. One a foul- mouthed lout, the other some sort of mutated ape who terrifies small children. We only hope these heroes can redeem themselves by stopping this mechanical menace.”, he reports with a snide arrogance. “That ought to do it, Jerry. Make sure you get footage of the guy in green spandex fighting that robot.”, he says to the man in the leather jacket and backwards turned Phillies hat behind the camera.</p><p></p><p>The cameras small view screen swings rapidly over to capture the man named Toad kicking at the bugbot, but sliding off the armored shell harmlessly. The bug turns to retaliate, flames bursting forth from the flamethrower housed in the mandible apparatus. The green clad hero performs a backflip to maneuver out of the way of the blast, the flames barely missing him.</p><p></p><p>Roughneck is able to move the van about ten feet before noticing that the mother is getting bounced around a lot. He’s not sure that she should be moving around so much in her condition. A neck brace and back board might be in order. </p><p></p><p>04-30-06, 07:49 PM #104 </p><p>hero4hire </p><p></p><p>OOC: Well at least it is accurate journalism. Nick is a Foul Mouthed lout and Monkey does scare small children...He has us there!</p><p></p><p>Nick saw that moving the lady any further without neck support was just going to be bad. He charged the Bot Toad was fighting and yelled "Yo Toad..Ya think you can get a neck brace and backboard so we can get Soccer Mom outta here??"</p><p></p><p>OOC: Attack roll 23 Dmg DC=27 </p><p></p><p>04-30-06, 08:03 PM #105 </p><p>Salix </p><p></p><p> OOC: Need Toad's actions for the round since Roughneck is last in initiative.

Both Toad and the bug neutralize each other's offense. Toad kicking and missing, the bugbot hitting, but Toad rolling with the attack to avoid being harmed. The large angry man comes running into range of the camera's eye. Roughneck reaches the robot at a full charge and flattens the machine with a thunderous downsweep of both of his clenched fists.

When Gun Monkey looks into the minivan he sees:1. Adult female, slumped on steering wheel 2. Young infant (less than 1 year old) strapped into carseat 3. Four year old girl cowering in the back of the minivan, gibbering incoherently for her mommy. On a positive note Pandora's serpent is making excellent progress on the barricade and will have a pathway opened in half the time expected (6 more rounds). The bugbots are intently "looking" towards the heroes. 04-27-06, 08:19 AM #92 Bront Gun Monkey will scoop up the baby and the mother after he holsters both his guns. "Come here little girl, let's get you out of here," he says. OOC: that's about as diplomatic and calming as he gets , however, his Inhuman Appearance might cause problems with the little girl (Complication Activation). 04-27-06, 09:11 AM #93 Salix Both bugbots take aim at the heroes near the van. Roughneck moves into the way to take the hit for Gun Monkey so he can extricate the family. One blast misses entirely, but the other arc blast hits Roughneck. The large bald man bends, but doesn't break. Gun Monkey is able to scoop up the youngest infant, but when he gets close to the other girl she begins to scream hysterically, "Leave my mommy alone!". Gun Monkey is beginning to think that the mother might not be in good enough condition to be moved. Meanwhile, Toad's head begins to clear. OOC: 1 HP to Roughneck, taking the hit for teamate, 1 HP to OGM complication. 04-27-06, 11:31 AM #94 Bront Gun Monkey comms to the others "The mother isn't in any condition to be moved. Someone's going to have to get her here." "Come on little girl, we're taking you away from the bad bots. Someone's coming for your mother." OOC: If she resists, Gun Monkey will have to grapple her. Grapple should be at +12 at the moment. 04-27-06, 05:49 PM #95 Erekose13 "Pandora, I think we need to be closer for me to have any effect on things. When your serpent has cleared the way, perhaps we can approach cautiously. I still want the two of us to be the rear line, here to escort civilians to safety." say Body and Spirit as he contemplates how best to help out. Were Ben/Spirit to seperate, the two of them might be of more use. 04-27-06, 06:28 PM #96 Hellzon Toad frowns as the bugbots keep firing at Gun Monkey, despite his attempt to save the civilians. "I guess manners didn't fit in your two-bit brains!" He leaps off, trying to occupy the bots again. Konrad, you'll have some work to do when we clear this up... he mentally notes dryly. OOC: Charging at B1. Attack roll: 15 Oh, and I never quite got this: Are B1 and B2 between us and the ambulances? 04-27-06, 07:17 PM #97 Rybaer "Copy that, Gun Monkey," Pandora says through the commlink. "We're clearing a path for the ambulance and will be there to get the woman as soon as possible." She turns to Body and Spirit. "You're right, we really need to get in there. And I just had an idea of how to speed this up." Pandora yells over to the EMS crew. "Get ready to move in. We'll go in with you and offer cover." She reaches into her bag of tricks and hurls a small piece of metal toward the barrier of cars. As it flies, it expands in size and lands exactly where she wanted. It is essentially a portable ramp and bridge wide enough to allow the ambulance to drive up and over the pile of cars and safely down the other side. "Let's go," she says to Body and Spirit. For now, she lets the Bronze Serpent continue its work in clearing a path. 04-27-06, 09:44 PM #98 hero4hire Hearing Monkey about the mother Nick glanced over his shoulder at the Minivan. OOC: Is it damaged in anyway. If it looks like it will still run he yells over his Mic. "Mebbe we can drive the Soccer Mom's Suburban? I'd hate to see an evac team get plugged!" 04-30-06, 10:18 AM #99 Salix Toad leaps into the air and kicks bug 1, knocking the machine out of commission. The last remaining bot lashes out with his mandibles, missing the costumed adventurer. As Gun Monkey grabs the little girl she starts to scream uncontrollably. You hear a voice saying, "Just what do you think you're doing". Roughneck and Gun Monkey look up to see the lens of a TV camera looking at them. Elsewhere... Pandora's ramp looks sturdy enough to drive the ambulance over. If the teamates at the barricade try they will find that the other three are out of radio communication again. OOC: The van is between the bugs and the barricade. The mother is blocking access to the steering wheel, unless you want to risk moving her. Three rounds (18 seconds) to drive over ramp, the driver will have to get in vehicle, start it up, then be careful in driving over ramp with an awkward top heavy vehicle. Sorry it took me so long to get back to the game. Lots of late nights with work, then a day out of town today hiking and eating a great Basque dinner in Reno. Also had to figure out the create object power, wasn't sure if I'd allow at first because of size and complexity of object. As I interpreted it you can make up to a 5 foot cube for every power rank. Pandora also has precise, which helps. Reminder- Game will go on hiatus May 2-9 while I go to Alaska. 04-30-06, 10:52 AM #100 Bront "We're getting you to safety little girl," Gun Monkey says to the girl in his arm. He turns to whoever is behind the camera lense and asks "And what do you think you're doing?" Not waiting for an answer, Gun Monkey holsters his other gun and quickly takes off with a mightly leap and begins making as much distance he can towards the end of the bridge, with his tail helping as an extra hand. OOC: He's sure footed as well, so that should help. 04-30-06, 11:38 AM #101 Hellzon Toad, HP: 1, Damage: 2S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You're next. Feel like surrendering? Didn't think so..." Toad lashes out at the remaining bot. OOC Standard: Regular attack roll (no defensive stance): url=http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=433252]11[/url]. Bad karma? Move: Back to the van IF the bot drops, otherwise away from it and charge the bot next round. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Hellzon : 04-30-06 at 06:51 PM. Reason: Title 04-30-06, 02:24 PM #102 hero4hire Roughneck HP: 2 Status: Uninjured -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fu<& Off @$$hole!" he says to the Camera. "Monkey will y--" Roughneck starts to say as he watches Monkey bound away. "$#*^!!! Alright I will do it myself..." He gets by the driver side door rips it off, puts the van into neutral and starts pushing/steering. OOC: His effective strength for lifting is 34 w/ Boost so he is just shy of a van being a heavy load for him (lifting it overhead and moving 2/3) so Pushing/steering shouldn't be to much of an issue. He will be as gentle as possible over bumps and whatever. Maybe actually lifting it a bit over obstacles? If it is needed he will use Extra Effort to get the job done. Until he gets to a Medical Crew. 04-30-06, 07:23 PM #103 Salix Any PR is good PR, right? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You see a man in a dirtied dress shirt, his tie smudged with grease, step in front of the camera. “This is Robert Wallace for Channel 4 News. You’ve seen it here first America. Apparently, these thugs are what America and the world has spent millions of dollars on. One a foul- mouthed lout, the other some sort of mutated ape who terrifies small children. We only hope these heroes can redeem themselves by stopping this mechanical menace.”, he reports with a snide arrogance. “That ought to do it, Jerry. Make sure you get footage of the guy in green spandex fighting that robot.”, he says to the man in the leather jacket and backwards turned Phillies hat behind the camera. The cameras small view screen swings rapidly over to capture the man named Toad kicking at the bugbot, but sliding off the armored shell harmlessly. The bug turns to retaliate, flames bursting forth from the flamethrower housed in the mandible apparatus. The green clad hero performs a backflip to maneuver out of the way of the blast, the flames barely missing him. Roughneck is able to move the van about ten feet before noticing that the mother is getting bounced around a lot. He’s not sure that she should be moving around so much in her condition. A neck brace and back board might be in order. 04-30-06, 07:49 PM #104 hero4hire OOC: Well at least it is accurate journalism. Nick is a Foul Mouthed lout and Monkey does scare small children...He has us there! Nick saw that moving the lady any further without neck support was just going to be bad. He charged the Bot Toad was fighting and yelled "Yo Toad..Ya think you can get a neck brace and backboard so we can get Soccer Mom outta here??" OOC: Attack roll 23 Dmg DC=27 04-30-06, 08:03 PM #105 Salix OOC: Need Toad's actions for the round since Roughneck is last in initiative. OGM will get to the ad-hoc command center at the barricades after this next round. 04-30-06, 08:10 PM #106 Hellzon Toad, 1 HP, 2 bruises -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toad sends one last wild kick at the bugbot, before Roughneck comes charging in. Quote: Originally Posted by Roughneck "Yo Toad..Ya think you can get a neck brace and backboard so we can get Soccer Mom outta here??" "You mean I should stick to that plan we have!? Good idea!" Toad casts a glance at the journalist. "That the Wallace fellow? I'm sure I can spare a kick for him too..." Toad hunches down and bounces off towards the ambulances. "Neck brace! Backboard! Now!" OOC Whoops, I don't actually hear that before my action this round. Well, this round: Attack bugbot: Roll is 7 Next round: Standing long jump is 187,5 feet boosted (unless a minute has gone and the boosted strength is wearing off). Double move should do it. And Roughneck, Gun Monkey and Toad as the PR squad? At least it will be interesting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Hellzon : 05-02-06 at 10:43 AM. Reason: Time Crisis 04-30-06, 08:56 PM #107 Salix Jerry continues to train the camera on Toad and the final bug. Both Toad and the bug neutralize each other's offense. Toad kicking and missing, the bugbot hitting, but Toad rolling with the attack to avoid being harmed. The large angry man comes running into range of the camera's eye. Roughneck reaches the robot at a full charge and flattens the machine with a thunderous downsweep of both of his clenched fists. "Now that's some power!", Jerry can be heard saying over the audio of the tape, somewhat lapsing in his professionalism 05-01-06, 03:32 AM #108 Bront OOC: Cool. BTW, after rereading my own background, OGM isn't exactly the best name, since he's technicaly not (read it yourself, it's interesting, though technicaly not public knowledge) 05-01-06, 05:37 PM #109 Erekose13 Without visibilty or comms, Konrad cannot see Wallace and his camera crew yet. He helps the paramedics and Pandora get the ambulance over the bridge. He is read to heal as needed. 05-02-06, 04:36 AM #110 Salix OOC:I'm going to stop it here for now. I pulled an allnighter last night to get out in front of work and when I get home I'm headed for a crash. Hope everyone is excited to get back to the game on the 10th. I know I've been having a lot of fun at the helm. BTW I've been calling him OGM because there are now three characters (at least ) based on DMAC's art, but you're right. I decided not to post in the Ready Lounge until I could get back. It would make for some painfully akward silences from Gremlin. 5-02-06, 05:20 AM #111 Bront OOC: NP. Were's the 3rd? 05-02-06, 02:08 PM #112 Rybaer Pandora will either ride with the ambulance (holding onto the side) or jog alongside it. She wants to make sure her bridge will support its weight. She also wants to be close by in case anything tries to interfere with its passage. [/QUOTE]
