Initiatives: Cosmo 25 (6HP, 1L, disabled), Monica 22 (4HP, 2S, 2L, stunned), Loki 21 (3HP), Mantis 19 (2HP, 4L, 7PL Insect Control, stunned, disabled), Straightjacket 18 (4HP, 4L, 1S, disabled), Vince 15 (5HP, 1L, 2S), Metal Mistress 13 (1HP, 7PL Magnetic Control, 1L), Neutron 12 (5HP, 2L, 3S, fatigued, Anaconda infected), Johan 7 (2HP, 2S), Anna 6 (3L, 2S, 5HP, disabled, KO), Rebound 5 (5HP, 1S , fatigued, KO), Mason 4 (4VP, 5S, nullified, broken bracers), Anithos 0 (6VP, disabled)

Johan duplicates rapidly while the guards open fire into the melee. While Mason is struck a few times and several blasts go wide, Mason uses those around him effectively as cover, and Vince, Straightjacket and Mantis all end up taking fire! Vince manages to avoid a shot slicing his way, and another blast bounces off Straightjacket without harm. Mantis doesn't fair so well, staggering under the guards fire. Mason himself is struck several times, but manages to throw off most of the damage, escaping nearly entirely unscathed.

Mason uses his clever combat movement as a lead in to another powerful attack! With a devastating ridge hand, he slams Mantis in the throat. She clutches at her throat and staggers backwards, unable to breathe, as Mason follows through his strike, slapping Monica with the back of his hand. She is knocked backwards fifteen feet to the ground. Mason ducks down as he continues to turn, driving his foot upwards again into Straightjacket's stomach! Straightjacket is prepared enough to not go down like the others, positioning himself to momentarily halt the assassin's attack.

VP to sieze the moment again and go first in the round!

Attack roll: 27 hits Mantis
Damage save (DC25): 12 fails (1L, disabled)

Takedown!

Attack roll: 29 hits Monica
Damage save (DC25): 14 (HP 19) fails (1L, stunned)

Rapid takedown!!

Attack roll: 19 hits Straightjacket
Damage save (DC18): 16 fails (1L)

While Mason might sense the danger of his situation, he seems supremely confident in his ability to overcome all of you. He presses his attack, rapidly working his way towards Cosmo, starting with Straightjacket.

VILLAINOUS SURGE!!!

He knifes his hand straight forward, driving it into Straightjacket's thigh... literally! Straightjacket screams as he feels Mason grab hold of the flesh in his leg, staggering backwards in agony as Mason jerks his hand free, covered in blood and flesh, spinning and striking at Vincent! Even the speedy Vince can't avoid the speed of the blow. The blow connects with a resounding CRACK but Vince manages to keep his feet and prevents Mason from advancing directly at Cosmo.

Attack roll: Natural 20 (crit) on SJ
Damage save (DC21): 8 fails (1L, disabled... again)

OOC: Mason has critical strike, allowing him to crit even those normally immune to critical hits.

Takedown!

Attack roll: 31 hits Vince
Damage save (DC25): 19 (HP 24) fails (1L)

Mason uses the last of his momentum to charge straight into the midst of the huge group of guards, using them effectively as cover against ranged attacks.

There is a quiet whirring sound, sounding like a drill, coming from the elevators. It's rapidly getting louder, loud enough to be heard over the din of battle easily.

Straightjacket, Vincent, Metal Mistress, Neutron and Johan are up again! Mason is done again for the round.

Now what? Michelle says as she hears the drilling noise

Michelle will move and attempt to get a clear line of fire on Mason, if she can't she will hold her she can.

Powers: Forcefield - free action, Flight - half action, energy blast - half action/<hold attack>

OOC: Recovery check (DC20): 29

X12 has to focus intensely so his regeneration can knit his bones together. After a minute or so, they do.

OOC: It's entirely in your guys' hands if this moves forward at all.

 

[Elementor]

"Keep it up Cos, I'll try to keep him busy."

Once again launching himself bodily against Mason, Vince does another ramming Mach One Punch.

Powers: Superspeed sustained, Dodge still focused on Mason (def 29), Mach One Punch, Ramming for +3 damage

 

[buzzard]

Once more Straightjacket will try to wrap up Mason if he's in range. if not, he'll just defend himself.

[Agamon]

Neutron will move towards the elevator and ready a blast against whatever it is that's making the drilling noise, assuming it makes an appearance this coming round.

Standing, X12 starts towards the subdued young man. "I'll heal him, Dara. Commence with the questioning," he says, kneeling down. "It would be good to know how many more people are inside, how to get to where Master Wen is being held, and anything helpful about the security of this place and of Master Wen's cell," he says, giving the man the once-over.

OOC: Medicine check. If I can bring him around without having to blow Healing (and possibly another HP on disabled), I'd rather go that route first.

Straightjacket, now too far away to attack Mason, collapses back against a containment unit, ready to defend himself. Vince, on the other hand, bursts into the mass of guards to throw himself at Mason again. For the first time, Mason staggers. Vince fairs no better however, bouncing off Mason as their heads collide after he delivers his punch.

Attack roll: 19 hits
Damage save (DC27): Mason 21 fails (1S, stunned)
Damage save (DC18): Vince 11 fails (1S, stunned)

Michelle is unable to get a clear shot at Mason, at least one where hitting a guard isn't a distinct possibility. She waits to see if an opening will present itself, as Neutron readies an attack against whatever is coming down the elevator shaft.

Loki and Johan are both up!

OOC: You have absolutely no gear to treat medical wounds. The only thing you can really do is stabilize someone who is dying. So healing it is.

X12 ends up resorting to his healing power. The man recovers from his injuries, though his broken leg doesn't fully heal, nor does he wake up. X12 manages to recover quickly enough this time. Quey seems satisfied with the results and ready to answer questions.

Disabled recovery check: 14 man, 21 X12
KO recovery check: 9 man

 

[Velmont]

"Well, lady, we will start by asking the easy question. Where is Wen, where is Sho, where is Mia, and how much more people there is in that cave and where they are? And if you can give us all this with a little description of how to reach the important point, it would be fine. A little guided tour in other words."

 

[Dalamar]

Johan's first duplicates will advance to try and punch MasonThe latter duplicates and himself will proceed to get Anna to relative safety.

[duplicates will try and punch Mason if he is close enough, using Charge if needed and the guards aren't in the way]
