Monitor Duty (Freedomverse OOC)

[KahlessNestor]

Alrighty. I had hoped Kahless would input something from Astral. But I think we should move along. I have held up things enough.

Everyone else good?

Sorry. Home internet is down, so have to wait for work on Monday.

OOC: Power Stunt to give him a portal teleport as part of his gravity manipulation array. That's how that works, right? That's the next power I'll be giving him, anyway.

Not to clutter up the IC too much with our OOC talk, the real problem still is that the hostages have to use their action(s) to move through it AND they don't realize it is something they would WANT to go though to escape. Otherwise if Fire guy gets too he will burn them up.

We need to distract Fire dude and make sure he does NOT attack or focus on the hostages for at least a round, maybe more.

Yeah, I was writing my post at the same time, so I. Didn't see that.

 

[Shayuri]

Yeah. The idea is that we want to get them out in a single action...taking advantage of a moment of surprise. That's why I was thinking a Teleport Attack. That's something where, by the time the baddies know something's happening, it's already happened. Hostages gone.

But it requires the hostages to voluntarily choose not to resist the teleport effect, because all the mods required will drop the power level down to the point where even scrubs have a decent shot at avoiding it.

If we can communicate our intent to them, and they believe us, it could work.

The problem with using a Teleport with Affects Others is that it only gives them the ability to teleport; it doesn't cause them to teleport with the same action you use to activate the power. They still have to use their action. Which means Fire Guy or the guards could potentially move faster and slaughter them.

Could I do a power stunt to put a forcefield around me Fire so his fire couldn't spread beyond it? Basically a version of my own force field, just surrounding someone else? Or even a big one to surround the hostages.

You could use a Create Object perhaps. That's how Hex's Magnus Warding spell works.

Or you could maybe stunt some kind of Nullify, like using gravity to suck the air away from him or something.

Risky though. If he resists, he's free to burn everyone.

 

[GreenKarl]

I don't think you can... Force Field just provides you with Toughness save. You could maybe make it area to put it around the hostages I think though...

As note it sounds a bit like you want to use Create

 

[tglassy]

I just meant to fluff it as the same as his force field, there would have to be a different game mechanic that would do the heavy lifting.

Basically, in some way he bends space around the bad guy so that the fire can't go beyond a foot or two, folding the space back in on himself. He probably is immune to his own power, but at least the fire wouldn't be able to go any further, giving us a chance to get the people out.

I suppose "Create" would work, but it gives him a Dodge save. Is he in the midst of them, or is he on one side and the hostages on the other? Cause I could just make a wall between them.

Or I could do a fly over and turn off the gravity in that room. Makes it so everyone floats. Don't know how that would helps, but it's something I can do.

 

[Shayuri]

The hostages form a ring, basically, and he's standing right in the middle of 'em. He seems to have some kind of area effect power that's centered on him, and they're being confined to a space within that area. He can immolate the lot of them as soon as he gets an action.

So yeah, it's a sticky situation.

 

[tglassy]

Hey, could I put a singularity centered on him strong enough to pull any fire in, so it can't get far from him? Basically suck in all the air around him?
