X12, Kevin
Initiatives: X12 15 (2HP, 3S, -1 strength), Shadows 14-1, Kevin 14-2 (5HP, 1L, 1S, -1 Super Strength)
Kevin shakes off his surprise and tries to wait for X12 to hit the shadow on him. He manages to stick the thing, and it vanishes.
Attack roll: 15 hits
Damage save (DC 28): 22 fails (destroyed)
Delay results in a tie with shadows. Sub-initiative roll is: Kevin 14, Shadow 27
Across the room, the shadows all growl, glaring at you. The one in front of Dara grabs her by the face and pulls her forward, then slams her head back into the chair back, repeating the motion slowly and deliberately as the other two hold her arms and legs. Blood starts marking the back of the chair after the second time. All three are staring at you with glowing eyes, growling, waiting on you. They are 60 feet away.
Kevin is up, then X12.
Raisa
Initiative: Jackal 28 (1VP, 2S), Raisa 18 (3S, stunned)
Raisa tries to ear clap Jackal but only succeeds in barely clipping him as he ducks.
Attack roll: 17 (HP to re-roll results in lower result, becomes 19) hits
Damage save (DC 12): 22 success
Jackal backhands you, sending you flying again into the wall of the courtyard, already charging towards you as you hit the wall. He's less than ten feet away and still coming hard.
Attack roll: 26 hits
Damage save (DC 23): 17 (1S, stunned)
You can spend a hero point to unstun immediately and act, or just wait for him to get you.

Initiatives: Rameirez 22, Speed Demon 21, Straightjacket 21, Mantis 20, Loki 19, Cosmo 18, Metal Mistress 16 (1HP), Robots(1 up [1 grappled], 3 down) 14, Iron Maiden 12, Kitten 11 (1HP, 1L), Guards(5) 11-2, Neutron 6, Rebound 5, Johan 5-2 (1L)
Straightjacket lashes out and grabs hold of one robot in one massive hand, pulling it back to him from ten feet away. The last robot is barely out of reach.
Attack roll: 24 hits, 16 misses
Grapple check: SJ 40... nuff said.
Damage save (DC 18): 23 success
Note: It'll be like attacking with two weapons to initiate two grapples using improved grapple, but you can do it (and do it quite well really).
Loki sends his fleet of robots in, making sure a few go down to the energy blasts of the other robots. Several fire, and while most of the blasts sail wide, one robot gets hit twice, rocking slightly then simply shutting off, and falls to the floor.
Attack roll: 19 hits
Will save: 5 fails (self terminated)
Mantis spins and thrusts one leg through the head of one of the robots, and it sparks violently and collapses, its head coming off.
Attack roll: 22 hits
Damage save (DC 18): 12 fails (disabled)
Cosmo leaps straight at the robot SJ just missed and Johan is grappling, slamming his shoulder into it before driving his fist into its chest and tearing out a handful of circuits. The robot explodes into tiny pieces.
Attack roll: Natural 20
Damage save (DC 25): 14 (fails, explodes)
Michelle lets a blast loose at the last robot, which is already blind and moving errattically. It doesn't fare well.
Attack roll: 23 hits
Damage save (DC 17): 11 (fails, disabled)
The robot in SJ's grasp beeps and a computerized voice says, "Self destruct sequence activated." With a whine of it's powercells, it's lights flare and it explodes!
Reflex saves (DC 18): Straightjacket 12, Kitten 24, Cosmo 21, Johans 11, Michelle 17
Damage saves: Straightjacket (DC 15): 16 success, Kitten (DC 19): 1 (HP to re-roll is a 2, becomes 18) fails (1L), Cosmo (DC 19): 22 success, Johans (DC 19): 3 duplicate destroyed, 18 duplicate destroyed, 16 fails (1L), Michelle (DC 13): 18 success
Note: The explosion was what hit Sanjay's sphere
After about 20 seconds, the smoke from the explosion clears and you can see everyone is more or less alright, though Kitten has a shard of robot sticking in her leg and Johan has several deep cuts in his cheek. From directly beneath the office, out the window, you see a luxury hover sedan roar out into the sky, though you don't know for sure who it belongs to...
See, 20 seconds into the future...
Vince is up! Sanjay can continue his conversation and Johan can declare his actions.

"Actually the less holes there are, the safer you'll be," Sanjay replies. "You never know, those things might shoot gas or..." The force of the robot's explosion slamming into the sphere interupts him. "...or explode," he adds with a frown. With the sound of battle over, he removes the sphere. "Everybody okay?"

X12, Kevin
Initiatives: X12 15 (2HP, 3S, -1 strength), Shadows 14-1, Kevin 14-2 (5HP, 3L, 1S, -2 Super Strength)
Kevin rushes forward, noticing at the last moment how the shadow's feet were turned towards him. As he nears them, both shadows holding Dara spring at him, claws extended, but not catching Kevin unaware. Unfortunately, their sudden attack halts his charge, leaving him dazed and confused and too far into his rush to recover.
Spot: 16 success
Attack rolls: 24 hits, 14 (VP to reroll becomes 20) hits
Damage saves (DC 19): 9 (1L, stunned), 18 (1L)
Will saves (DC 11): 10 fails (-1 super strength), 20 success
You moved 30 feet and were stunned, so can't complete your charge. You can spend a HP to recover from the stun immediately, and attack normally, but your movement is finished.
X12 follows Kevin in, and is caught unaware by the attack, but has time to adjust his tactic, slashing at one of the shadows that hit Kevin. He barely manages to scratch it, but the effect is the same as the creature disappates quickly.
Attack roll: 23 hits
Damage save (DC 29): 18 fails (destroyed)
Kevin is up (the last of the previous round if he chooses to use a hero point), otherwise the shadows are up.
Raisa
Initiative: Jackal 28 (1VP, 2S), Raisa 18 (3S, stunned)
Raisa forces the dizzy feelings aside and punches him square in the jaw. His teeth clack together, your arm feels a bit numb from the force of your blow, and he keeps coming.
Attack: 24 hits
Damage save (DC 12): 11 fails (1S)
Jackal swings a backhand towards your left side, making you spin to avoid it. As you turn, his feint becomes obvious as his other hand opens, slamming its palm into your back, shoving you face first into the wall, his claws digging into the stone wall above and below your left shoulder, near your left hip and two other claws are trying to gain purchase to the right of your neck and right chest. Other than the indignity of being pressed into the wall, you suffer, oddly enough, no physical harm.
Bluff: Jackal 18 vs Raisa 12
Attack roll: 22 hits
Opposed grapple: 24 (VP to reroll becomes 31) vs Raisa 30 (you are grappled)
Damage save: Not needed. Pulled punch.

As rebound makes sure the few non destroyed robots aren't getting up any time soon, Johan hurries to the desk and looks at the panel. It appears to be an activation panel, indicating that 12 robots have been activated. You count 8... the panel itself doesn't operate or link with the robots otherwise. It does, however, link with his hover car. There's actually a command to stop it. Clicking on the command, you are presented with a passcode, which you manage to hack past in short order. A few hundred yards from the building, the car slides smoothly to a hovering halt.
Computers: 28 success
"Mr. Rawlins," Ms. Vaile says calmly to one of her security guards. "I would like a few words with my escaping CEO if you please. I want his vehicle locked... nevermind," she says as she sees the car halt. "I think Johan has done that for us. Perhaps, Michelle, you and your teammates could extricate him. Mr. Santos, please summon some medical aide quickly," she says to another security officer. "Code 981," she says, and the security field and metal walls that had slid into place in various spots to trap you, retreat. Mr. Santos radios for medical assistance.
Vince still has to go before he can receive Michelle's message.
