Mental Bloc - IC

[Committed Hero]

With the gunshots the mood of the crowd changes from confused to terrified. The tough-looking man seated at the table is hit, and bloodstains add to the mess on the tablecloth covering "Perdue." The third enemy, who was the target of Lex' Daze, pulls a taser and fires it at Reed.

He takes 4 points of electrical damage and needs a Fort Save (DC15) to avoid paralysis.
Ash can act.

(need some situation...where am I relative to the other PC's and NPC's? Do they seem to have noticed me yet?)

 

[A Crazy Fool]

Reed is paralyzed.

Fortitude vs. paralysis (1d20+2=12)

 

[Committed Hero]

The three at the table are intent on Lex and Reed. The gunshots have been as effective as the sprinklers in causing chaos. You are about 10 feet away behind a decorative plant.

 

[Shayuri]

Ash hunkers down behind the plant and concentrates. She feels her senses expand into time, just a hair...just enough to gain a whisper of warning before an attack hits home. Another few seconds are enough time for her to summon the fire from wherever it hid deep down inside her. Greenish flames that burned without burning, curling around her; engulfing her...protecting her. As always, giving in to the flame was a sick joy, a thrill of release.

She stayed where she was, hoping that the glow of the insulating flames would draw their attention and bring them to her.

(manifesting Combat Precognition for +1 insight to Defense as a std action, and Psi Shield for +3 equipment to Defense as a move action. Psi Shield has a visible effect.)

Lex, Male Cha3/Tel1 (Def: 14, HP: 27/27, 7/8 bullets in clip)

Lex flinches as the gunshots echo in the room. His left hand shoots to his chest, imagining a bloody hole there but strangley finding nothing. Turning, he sees a new person coming the opposite direction of the fleeing crowd and holding a smoking gun out pointed at the bleeding goon Lex just ran away from. I have a car. Get to the front. Lex hears in his head as the gun bearing man makes eye contact with him. Then the guy gets tazed and starts shakin' like an eppeleptic havin' a fit. Just as Lex is about to act, he is distracted by a green flame shooting up out of nowhere behind one of the fake plants. Blinking his eyes in the water from the sprinklers, Lex is surprised (or maybe not so surprised) to see the 'Grunge Girl' appearently on fire and coming out from hiding towards the fight.

'Well', Lex thinks to himself (or maybe others now too for all he knows) 'I guess since guns are already involved, it won't hurt to add mine to the mix now...' Turning so his back is to the kitchen door, Lex pulls out his Eagle and aims for the guy with the tazer before squeezing the trigger gently and seeing the red laser dot appear to mark his target...and lets the target know soon enough for him to dodge out of the way before Lex's hand cannon adds it's boom to the cacophony of noises...

Rnd 2: Lex shooting at tazer goon w/point blank shot and lazer sight (1d20+4=9, 2d8+1=13)

 

[Committed Hero]

You miss, but the goon drops the taser and dives under the table with his boss.

 

[Committed Hero]

I don't think that paralysis prevents the use of psionics, do you? Maybe if you succeed at a Concentration check?

 

[Shayuri]

(by RAW, manifesting psi doesn't require a physical action...it's not like spellcasting. Unless he's considered 'helpless,' he ought to be able to...)

 

[Committed Hero]

Cool.
