EPIC M&M: Issue 2 (IC)

[Elementor]

Double post. Stupid slow boards.

 

[Elementor]

In the food court, Tara leaps into the air, wings thrumming and flys towards the gang members. Dara picks her way slowly forward.

By the bank, the cops shoot at the two remaining gang members, but miss badly. A bystander is struck by one blast and held in a stun field.

The gang members return fire on the police, but once again the armor stops any harm. Two gang members run at the cops, swords drawn. The four gang members in the food court turn as one and cut loose with automatic weapons into the crowd at Vincent.

All four gang members fire twice, at -2, but it doesn't matter! They need natural 20's to hit! They get 10, 19, 9, 18, 13, 4, 23 and 23 (natural 20's, on the last two no less). Vincent is hit twice and rolls a 20 and a 24 damage save. If you want to re-roll, let me know before lunch tomorrow.

While only two strike Vincent, the effect on the crowd is worse as stun blasts knock half a dozen nearby people flying. One hits a baby held by a mother, and the other hits the mother.

Neutron is up in the Theatre fight, then its round two, and all four PC's in the bank fight can go.

If Vince can use a hero point to leap in front of the mother and her child to take the hits instead of them he will. Otherwise his hero point will be spent to reroll his 20 damage save roll.

You can't move again to block bullets. You have no more action to do so. Hero point spent and battle post edited. Also, you really don't need to do huge quotes to help explain what you are doing. Either skip quoting or only quote the parts relevant to what you are trying to do, in this case a small two line quote as opposed to 11 lines.

Theatre Fight
"Clever buggers, aren't you," Split says as releases the fixture and drops to the ground. He backs up and says into his headset, "One, three punks here. Nothing we can't handle." Split vanishes. You see the door he was standing by open and close, but nothing seems to come out.

Three failed spot checks.

Restaurant Fight
The female Split gives Johan another "Don't get up," and turns, charging at Mia. She delivers a flying kick at the gorgeous oriental woman, who bats the attack away, almost effortlessly. Beside Kevin, the sword wielding Split takes another cut at him, but Kevin manages to duck out of the way. The final Split, advances on Murphy, firing squeezing off three shots, then another three! Five shots hit Murphy, one in the face. He falls backwards into the wall behind him and collapses.

Split misses Mia Toan with a 19. Split misses Kevin with an 11. Split gets 7, 20, 26(crit), 21, 23 and 16 against Murphy. Murphy's body armor protects him from most. He will use a VP on any damage save less than 10. Damage saves of 7 (re-roll 6 becomes 15), 23, 8, 8 and 24 respectively. Murphy slumps to the floor unconscious.

Edit: Two of Split were blinded. Male Split will use a VP if he rolls less than 12. Female Split gets a 21 and Male Split gets a 11, reroll becomes a 22. The rest of combat with the -1 results in the same.

Condition Summary
Multibrain: 2S, 1HP used
Stealer: 2L, 1HP used
Murphy: 3S, 1VP used, KO
Vincent: 1HP used
Split: 1VP used

Take a look at the initiatives for who is up next.

 

[Mimic]

Michelle will do an area attack aimed at the 6 thugs closest to her, she will then lower herself to about 10 feet off the ground. re-roll if roll is less then 12

OOC: energy blast extra: area effect (1/2 action) forcefield (free action) flight (1/2 action)

John will move into the door to see if he went in there.

[Dalamar]

Nope, you are not able to do this. Here's why.

OoC: That was meant as my action for round two (though I just realised that I won't be stunned anymore, so the HP isn't required). Just went and posted that in case the combat advanced to the second round before I had the chance to check the boards again.

Bank Fight
Michelle flies down a bit and throws a powerful beam of magnetic energy at the rearmost thug. She hits him in the back and an explosion of energy twenty feet in radius rips outward. Bodies fly, glass shatters, shop patrons hiding in nearby shops scream and the lights on the underside of the first tier walkway shatter and explode. Only two thugs remain standing where they were, the rest are carried elsewhere by the explosion.

Michelle hits the thug with a 15. The energy blast takes all of the Thugs by surprise. Saves are 18, 14, 19, 14, 9 and 11. Two nearby shop window shatter, spraying the inside of the shops with shards of glass. Two thugs are rendered unconscious. Two are stunned. Some serious collateral damage happened, which will probably be blamed on Vince.

Restaurant Fight
"Hey, jackass! Remember me?" a cocky voice says from just inside the doorway. The wall behind Stealer literally explodes in a shower of masonry and wood. A cloud of dust fills the area, in which you can see two red glowing, feral eyes, and a loud, low, continual growl. It seems the brothers grim have come to help.

Cosmo and Jackal were running towards the gun battle at the bank and spotted Split entering the restaurant on the way by. They will be given initiatives next round.

 

[Velmont]

"Just in time, Jackal!"

Kevin try to bluff Split before trying again to touch him and try to mimic his powers.

Restaurant Fight
Johan stands up and concentrates, and a duplicate walks steps out of him, appearing at his side. None of the instances of Split are even looking with the appearance of the brothers.

Stand up for half action (assumed you don't want to be on your arse), and duplicate for half action. Appearing is the duplicates action.

Mia delivers a vicious backhand to the female Split in front of her, and shouts at her partner. "Murphy, get your ass off the ground and make yourself useful!" Murphy groans slightly in response.

Split is hit with a 26, but makes her save with a 22.

Stealer grins and looks pointedly right behind the sword wielding Split. "You should probably look behind you." Split turns, slashing out with his sword, and realizes too late that he's been duped. Stealer puts his hands on both sides of Split's face. The sword wielder and female split shimmer slightly and the other one doubles over briefly in pain, but the duplicates and what is obvious the original recover quickly. Stealer suddenly vanishes.

Stealer taunts Split successfully with a natural 20, putting Split flat footed. He hits with a 19, and Split fails his save with a 2. Stealer gets all of Split's powers with no feedback. He instinctively realizes what they are, but a few things elude his knowledge. Stealer becomes invisible as a free action.

Duplication +7 (flaw: unknown; extras: absorbtion healing, teleportation (flaw: to duplicates only, flaw: once per round, flaw: unknown))
Invisibility +7 (stunt: scent and hearing as well as basic sight)
Amazing Save +6 (all) (flaw: unknown)

Theatre Fight
You all hear a pair of slight groans in the hallway nearby, and see two brief shimmers giving away Split and another Split's general location.
