OoC: Shouldn't the Damage save DC be 16 thanks to armor?

IC: Johan fires another shot at the blurry assailant.
"Good ISA Officers, please help us to refrain this man. He is intending to end Ms. Vaile's life, and it would bring you very good publicity if you helped save her life."
 

Instictively Michelle takes a step away from the captain, her forcefield flickering to life about her.

Regaining her composure quickly she address the man. "Captain, Epic would gladly lend our assistance if ISA was in need of some more help. Obviously those men know what is going on and it would be best if they were dealt with as quickly as possible."
 

Sanjay continues to persue the woman to Ms. Vaile's quarters. "Hey, wait! What's the matter? You helped me, I don't want to hurt you..." he says as calmly as possible while chasing after her.

"She won't tell me her name or what she can do, and now she's running away in fear. What the heck is her deal?" he thinks.
 

SAP Headquarters
Metal Mistress, Straightjacket
"Put the call in to Loco," Captain Ralina says to his communications officer. "In the mean time, any assistance EPIC can supply in preventing their escape and protecting the officers in the garage would be appreciated. You can get there faster than we can. Level 40 parking garage," he says already heading towards the elevators. "Minian, seal this floor and take her into custody," he orders an officer, indicating Ms. Price. "The rest of you, lets move!"

With that, most of the SWAT team moves for the elevators.

You know how to get to the garage and for those that can move outside the elevators, it will take just two rounds to get there, even if you carry those that can't. If Straightjacket wants to go King Kong style, it'll take just one DC20 climb check and three rounds to do a controlled slide down the corner of the building to the garage.

Neutron
Despite your best efforts to calm her reaction, it doesn't work. You easily catch up to her before she can fully open the door. You just saw her use a palm and retinal scanner and hear the computer ask "Voice print authorization required," as you come up behind her.

Diplomacy (DC20): 12 fails

"Al..." she starts when she notices you and lets out another squeal of panic, flattening her back against the door. "Nonono! Go away! Don't let them see me!" she says in a panic. You notice the color scheme in the office seems to be specifically designed to help her hide effectively as she would be very hard to see if you weren't standing where you are.

Spot check (DC15): 18 succeeds

"Voice print not recognized. Please vocalize again for voice print authorization," the computer drones.

Speed Demon, Johan
As Vince stays behind the van with Ms. Vaile, Johan cuts out a blast of energy towards the blurry Marun. This time, he's lucky and the blast strikes true, a crackling of electricity momentarily making him easy to see.

Concealment roll (low miss): 19 hits
Attack roll: 17 hits
Damage save (DC20): 16 fails (VP 21 succeeds)

Most of the officers remain unwilling to shoot for fear of hitting someone, but one of the officers on hand is quicker thinking than the others, grabbing something out of one of the cars resembling a plasma cannon.

Diplomacy (DC15): 15 succeeds

He puts the weapon on his shoulder, and fires a yellow energy glob at Marun. As it streaks at the electrically encompassed man, it rapidly expands into a net, but glances just wide, hitting the EPIC Van and disappating.

Initiative: Marun 24 (1VP), Vince 23 (2HP, 1L), Johan 6 (3HP, 2L)

Marun continues moving to the van where Vince is hiding Ms. Vaile, blasting the prone version of Johan sitting there. The blast slams him in the chest and he slumps unconscious. The mobile Johan feels a lancing pain burst through his own chest, winding him.

Damage save (DC20): 11 (HP to re-roll -- 17 fails -- 1L)

Vince and Johan are up again.

This combat was edited for an error in the type of weapon Johan tinkered up.

October 26, 2120
Dover, England -- The York Estate
X12
The other battle is quickly rushing your way, scary robots and someone in flying armor giving chase to the two men running towards you. You easily reach Michael's side, and his regeneration is already kicking in, his wounds quickly closing. However, it seems that he hasn't been able to recover from his internal injuries. You slide a glove off and touch him briefly. You quickly realize your healing power is very low still.

You take 0 lethal, and Michael gets a recovery check (DC20), but only gets a 7 with your help. On his own action, he got a recovery check (DC20) and got a 15.

Fortunately, you are not on the same side of the coffin that the body would have spilled out from.

Raisa uses her makeshift club to hammer the crap out of the Killer Robot, delivering a blow that sends it smashing into the marble pillars outside the main door. The pillars buckle and the entire archway collapses, crushing the robot into scrap!

Over the roof of the house, the person in armor can be seen just above the top of the mansion, and a few moments later, a second, larger suit appears.

Thunder quickly takes stock of the information. "Tank and New York; and they're chasing someone," he barks out to all of you. "Raisa, X12; head towards them on the ground and watch out. Tank likes robots. Lots of robots. Leave Michael and let his regeneration help him recover. I'll handle the two suits," he says, lightning crackling about him as he already lifts into the air. "Watch out for sonic attacks from Tank. He likes to disorient before he moves in for the kill. New York has a very, very big gun. Don't get hit by it," he says with a little smirk.

With that, he shoots up like a bolt of lightning about 60 feet in a blink of an eye, then claps his hands together before him. From an empty sky, a dual bolt of lightning streaks down, slamming into both battle suits. The smaller one is knocked into the ground, but the larger one, obviously Tank, seems mostly unaffected.

Thunder is using leadership and everyone gets +1 to all rolls. Combined the initiatives and adjusted them for leadership.

Initiatives: Initiatives: Thunder 26, Michael 23, X12 22, Jay 21, Lord York 21, Killer Robot 20, New York 19, Super-Killer Robots 11, Raisa 11, Tank 8

X12 is up!

OoC: I thought I asked for Stun, not Energy Blast? Or did you deem that impossible with the current equipment?

IC: Johan turns on his communicator even as he takes another shot at Marun.
"EPIC members in range, back-up requested. We have an assailant equipped with perception distractor technology trying to get Ms. Vaile."
 

"Keep your head down. You should be safe back here Ms. Vaile." Vince tries to say as convincingly as possible with someone who tried to kill her mere yards away. With that, he leaps up and over the EPIC van (a little wing action) to swoop down at the blurry fool that blasted him moments ago. With a flick of his tail Vince will try to use his newest weapon on the attacker.
 

Michelle nods and lifts off into the air, her forcefield still flickering about her. "Anyone who can fly come with me, the rest make your way down as quickly as possible." She will then proceed to fly through the hole in the roof and head towards the parking garage.

Dalamar said:
"EPIC members in range, back-up requested. We have an assailant equipped with perception distractor technology trying to get Ms. Vaile."

Michelle activates her communicator. "Understood Johan, we have our hands full here but I will try and send help. Sanjay did you hear that? Ms. Vaile is in trouble and needs help, you need to go assist Johan and Vince."
 

Jay look around... it wasn't his best move he thought. Out in the open, he is an easier target, even more for a flying opponent... and how could Kev be an opponent? He was a bit strange, but attcking his family is not something he would do.

Jay quickly scan around, and try to find some cover from both the killer robots and the air. "No time to waste here... father, we will find some cover, and you'll stay there. And where is sister?" HE starts to run to the nearest cover he had spot.

OOC:
He use Heroic Surge to take more distqnce if he can reach the cover with a simple run. He is still carrying his father.

Combat Guideline:
Jay will first put civilian in safety, his father first. Once he is in safety, he will try to destroy the robots, and to put out of combat Kevin with the less harm possible.
 

Michelle almost makes it to the roof before she stops and snaps her fingers "Sanjay doesn't have his communicator, how could I forget that." She quickly scans the room until she sees Rebound. "Rebound go find Sanjay, tell him to go help Johan and Vince protect Ms. Vaile and then get down to the garage and tell the captain that Ms. Vaile is in danger."

With that she will once again fly towards the garage.
