Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

Optic still attempts to take over one of the mechs, hoping to use its systems to his advantage (Maybe tap into their communications easier, or download data, etc, etc).

I would set your orbs to go for the teleportation device area. There seems to be a slight window of the force field protecting it going down, and if you could get those orbs in there while that happens, then we could stem the flow of the enemies."[/color]

"What makes it go down? Is it linked to receiving a teleport?" Star asks. Then even if it works, all the new arrivals will just shoot me. With all their teleport stuff, we won't win this. Even if I slag the main array, they can still have a bunch of those drones with portals in them to get more supers and troops. "It's worth a shot."

"Yeah, it seems to be a field, only a temporary relief in the top part for when troops are teleported down. If you could safely send some of those orbs, triggered to enter the receiving station when that field goes down, it might disrupt it enough to disable it. That would stem the flow of enemies. If it's too risky, don't worry about it, I am sure we can find an alternative. Either way, we had better prepare for a war outside..."

Wren continues his healing, until Star is ready to go.
 

The battle outside continues to rage as you move in to join the fun.

It requires a bit of time for some of you to get to the battle. Viridian is able to hit the enemy mechs three times with her fear attack three times before. Many of the tanks and mechs stop or change course. As she is near the base, some stray mortars land near her, and one actually hurts her a bit (1 injury/bruise).

The telepath apparently senses her pain and says "It was not fair to keep you out in the open. Your group may enter our base."

Meanwhile, mortars continue to fall, and huge tank shells and energy blasts strike the walls of the base, it is breached in a number of places, and the buildings are taking damage. Medics are scrambling to deal with the wounded.

Wren uses these three rounds to heal Star. NOw she just has some bruises (and exhausted).

Meanwhile, Hope, Apollo, and Nitro head off to the fight.

Apollo (I am NPCing him since he did not post) gets to the fight immediately, and blasts Efreet with his light bow, wounding him and knocking him back a step (injury). The Efreet charges at him, but Apollo flies faster, and Efreet has to settle for throwing a fireball at him instead of grabbing him. Apollo nimbly reverses direction, and the fireball streaks away into the sky.

Optic breaks into one of the mechs' systems. He is able to download various specs and tap into their radios. He finds that numerous pilots really are freaking out, but their commander is urging them on and many are recovering. For now, their plan still seems to be a frontal assault.

Hope does not get to the enemy base unhindered. She sees Guardian, riding on her lightning horse, shoot up into the sky, and just as Hope tries to blast the enemy base form maximum range, Guardian parries the lightning bolt away with her sword.

Nitro does manage to shockwave several opponents, blowing up two mechs and damaging one more and a tank. The damaged vehicles fire back, but other than several bullets that bounce off his skin, he manages to jump out of the way of each...until Leopard, suddenly 30 feet tall, pounces on him with a jumping strike of her own, then grabs him and lifts him into the air in one hand (1 bruise, stunned, grappled)

Pharoah meanwhile blasts Apollo with a targeted sandstorm, which forms a mouth and hands and grabs and pulls and bites at Apollo. This slows his movement enough for Efreet to attack him. Efreet's body is made of mostly-solid flames, and manages to grab Apollo, who shots in pain as the flaming Efreet pulls him close to his fiery body, and drives both to the ground (crit, 2 injuries, 3 bruises, staggered, stunned, grappled). Smoke and sand sheets into the air as they crash through a sand dune. Apollo manages to ignore the pain and struggle free (hp to shake the stun and avoid taking strike and aura damage in one round), and he manages to wriggle free of the fiery beast.

Nightweaver meanwhile notices that shadows are being created by the various sandstorm attacks being thrown around and the tall mechs casting shadows, although it is hard to see the further ones. It takes her a few steps, but she manages to get there in time for her to move into position and attack something (post what she attacks).
 

"I still feel a little sick and tired, but let's go. Maybe you could wrap us in a force bubble while we get close?"

(Def 20/12. Toughness +9. Exhausted, Bruised -3. HP 3.)

"Well, I could provide you some armor of force. I would leave the hands free, as you would need those to use your orbs. It will stay tethered to you of its own will as well."

[sblock=Create Objects]Create Objects, to provide some force armor for Star, at least giving her some protection.
Create Objects 8
Effect: General

Action: Standard

Flaws: None
Power Feats: Innate, Precise, Stationary, Subtle, Tether, Progression (10’Cube x rank)[/sblock]
 

Hope sees Appollo in trouble and with surprising ease, manages to shift her main lightning attack to freezing ice and uses that attack on the Efreet.

Blast: Blast 12, Imp Crit 3, Knockback 4, Indirect, Variable

"I don't really need my hands free. A complete sphere works, as long as I stay centered in it." You're not coming?

(Does Star have her commlink?)

After taking whatever aid Wren provides, Star will create a cluster of orbs to orbit herself and to counterattack her enemies, then start moving evasively towards the enemy ship. I don't really want to do this.

-----------------------
(Standard Action: Plasma Orbs on Trigger to attack anyone who attacks her: Plasma Orbs: Plasma Control +8 Autofire 2 (1 for 1, max 4), Penetrating 3 (4/rank, +3) Triggered 2 (any trigger), Reversible (on latent triggers, not for undoing effects), Homing 2 (2 extra chances), Indirect 3 (any angle), Precise.

Defensive Attack: -5, Attack +6 (14-3-5): 21

Then she'll fly towards the ship, trying to avoid notice by skimming the ground, screening herself with the sandstorms, etc. Move is 1/2 speed for exhausted so that's ~5000 ft. Stealth check is +2 (+10-5 for full speed, -3 exhausted): 14

Def 25/12. Toughness 9. Bruise 3, Exhausted. HP 3

Any of CO barrier around her is probably much easier to hit.
 

"I like a feisty woman. And I don't mind tall women. But by that I mean say, 6'2", not 30 feet tall. Feeling a little inadequate about now, I have to admit."

Nitro regenerates from the bruise as a free action. HP to shake off stun (1 HP left). Nitro twists in the air and kicks Leopard somewhere it really hurts.

Acrobatic Bluff to feint Leopard as a move action. Rolling at +12, opposed by Sense Motive/Acrobatics. Then attack unarmed, Power Attack for 3 if the feint works and don't PA at all if the feint doesn't work.
