Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[stonegod]

OOC: Yes, I wanted to make sure the other two are distracted. So, if I moved a bit, she'd have a 'shot' at the soulmeld?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: She could shoot him without moving, but would take a -2 due to range increment whether or not she moves (though a move this round and then next negates that) )

 

[stonegod]

The chimera was a distraction. If she could take out the source, well, that would simplify things in the long run. Making sure the others were to absorbed with the chimera to notice anything, she reached out her hands---at the most vulnerable part she knew...

OOC: Okay. Lust is getting annoyed. Since the "normals" are busy, she's going to use her hand trick to try to slice/pierce/whatever the soulmeld, preferably where she expects the soulmeld binding (the circle/whatever) to be. Hero point time.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Hero point for what?)

 

[stonegod]

OOC: To make sure (or to help) the attack succeeds. I'm assuming their like Action Points. Remember, I don't have M&M, so I'm kinda winging it.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Ah. gotcha! They are like super-action points when you use them for rolls because you roll twice and take the highest of the two, except for all rolls below 11 are counted as roll + 10. The only time an Eberron action point is better is if you roll a 19 and still miss. If you're going to use a Hero Point, I extremely recommend Power Attacking for 5 (the max), since you're super-likely to hit anyway. I won't charge the Hero Point if you roll high anyway (you get to see the roll but not the result in general). You may also want to consider All-Out Attack (which lowers defense to raise attack bonus), since you're pretty far away. Let me know.)

 

[stonegod]

OOC: Sounds good. Laura/Lust wants to end this (or at least *it*) quickly while the others are distracted, so all out attack sounds right.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Laura's glove darts out and extends to impale the armoured figure with great force at an angle, cutting through steel like butter and slicing through one arm and into the head, questing for the blood seal that might be there, if this soulmeld is like many others. Unfortunately, the blood seal does not appear to be there, but her attack is so devastating that the steel shatters and the head flies off as the arm hangs ragged and only partially-attached to the side, exposing some of the inside of the body and the doll--from this distance, Laura doesn't notice the blood seal in that main body section either. How disappointing...but still, sufficient. Far more than those other two had done so far. Still, that was almost too easy. Based on the facility in dealing with the soulmeld, the chimera seems more of a threat.*

(OOC: Critical Threat and Critical Hit with All-Out Attack 5 and Power Attack 5. Soulmeld guy is stunned, staggered, of course injured, and pretty messed up by Lust's devastating attack)

 

[Rystil Arden]

*On seeing the soulmeld so devastated, the chimera unleashes a deafening roar that almost sounds like "NOOO!" and turns to glare balefully at Laura.*

(OOC: Oh, and still Selim's turn)

 

[Festy_Dog]

(ooc: Sorry, having some internet connection issues. )

Seeing the chimera switch it's attention towards Laura, and not wanting to ruin Laura's chances of luring the beast into her trap, Selim switches to his sword and moves to block whichever exit from the room the armour is closest to.
