Project Daedalus (Issue #4)

[Elementor]

"Umm, Ok. Yikes!!" Having felt the odd elite practically inhale Aaron off his feet from 30 some feet away, was more than a little disturbing. "Ok lets see if this works..." Changing to his earthen form, Aaron calls up tendrils of rock and brick to reach up from below and try to secure the man in place.

Powers: Attempting to use my earth snare. +7 (+8 with Leadership)

 

[Hammerhead]

Jennifer grimaced at the Elite's apparent resilience to every kind of attack thrown in his direction. Damn, those shards can cut through steel. I don't think I've ever fought anyone this tough. Jennifer could hear her heart pounding and the rush of adrenaline; she smiled, savoring it, before launching both another remark and another flurry of icy shards towards her enemy.

Instead of trying to help him deal with his anger management issues, shouldn't we concentrate on bringing this monster down?

Another Move Action to circle around him, then a second attack at +9 melee (+11 L)

 

[Agamon]

Initiative: Misha 25, Shimmering Samurai 24 (Boost +3), Neutron 22 (HP), Silvertip 21 (1S, 4L, 5HP, fatigued), Blizzard 21, Mimic 16, Lupa 15 (1L, HP, disabled), Elementor 15 (HP), Cumulus 14 (HP), Sarah 11, Big Ugly 9 (2L, 6VP, entangled), Tyroc 4 (HP)

Jennifer circles around and strikes out once more with a wave of flying ice shards. Again, the razor-sharp shards do little to the elite's thick hide.

Attack roll: 24 hits
Damage save (DC 23): 28 succeeds.

Miguel flies up across from Tyrone and a fires a similar beam as his team leader at the beast. His attack fairs no better however, as the huge man continues to struggle with the net around him.

Attack roll: 22 hits
Will save (DC 18): 31 succeeds.

With a ferocious growl, Rachel leaps from the rock pile and slams hard into the side the entangled man, trying to tear at him with her vicious claws as she does. She rolls aside and notices that her attack only left very small gashes in his side. It did, however, get his attention, as he begins to turn towards the werewolf crouched beside him.

Attack roll: 5, HP used, 14 hits
Damage save, Ugly (DC 27): 29 succeeds
Damage save, Rachel (DC 17): 20 succeeds

Aaron, noting the struggles the elite has with the net, tries to tie him up further with tendrils of stone. The huge elite bats at the rocky formation as it tries to grab him, smashing it to bits.

Attack roll: 14, HP used, 20 hits
Ref save (DC 17): 18 succeeds.

Noting the difficulty Jennifer and Rachel are having hurting the elite, Cumulus decides to let loose to see how she can do. A dark cloud forms over the area and bright shot of light followed by a thundering boom lights the area up for a split second as a bolt of lightning shoots from the sky and slams into the giant man. The attack seems to further infuriate the elite, but he doesn't seem much worse for wear.

Sarah stares hard at the creature, trying her utmost to penetrate his mind. She growls in frustration as her attack fails to cause him harm.

The entangled elite now looks quite pissed off and looks to take it out on whoever is nearest to him, in this case, Rachel. He catches her as he backhands her with the trashed truck. She goes flying back into the rubble pile she lept from, smashing into it and lying still, crumpled and bleeding.

Attack roll: 13, VP used, 25 hits
Damage save (DC 33): 17, 1 Lethal, Dying
Fort save, Rachel: 22 succeeds, no longer dying, now disabled


Ouch, I have to admit, I smiled when I read your 'multiround plan' in the OCC thread, Shal. Close to this guy is where you don't want to be. Tyroc and Misha are up.

 

[Calinon]

"And that's why I didn't want anyone near him," he says to himself. "Jennifer, get the heck back before he does that to you!" Focussing briefly on Rachel, Tyrone summons a platform of kinetic energy beneath her, moving her farther away from the battle just in case the giant decides to finish her off.

"Neutron! Can you create a big coil of super-strong cabling so we can help tie this guy down?" he shouts down as he lets loose another kinetic bolt of speed sapping energy at the giant. "He's resisting our powers, but maybe some of us can wrap enough around him to immobilize him."

Powers: Telekinesis to move Rachel 40 feet or so; away from immediate danger; flight and force field (sustained); slow (if telekenisis isn't an attack on Rachel; otherwise slow will just be ineffective and he'll move her 80 feet.

Misha sighs, "Someone was going to get hurt regardless Tyroc," he says aloud, "but I admit being in melee range with this titan is not a thing we need to be doing. But this big ugly is going to give us fits..."

"Rachel fall back, the rest of you if you can't affect him directly affect him inderectly, make the environment around him a bad place to be..." Misha shouts.

Misha turns his attention to the big guy, "Hey... I don't appreciate you hitting women... be it Rachel or Screaming Eagle... how about you try smashing me? If you can touch me..."

Another Taunt +10, to come and attack Misha, He is using Full Defense including his usage of Leadership, Hero Point if below 12 on the normal roll.

 

[Elementor]

Misha sighs, "Someone was going to get hurt regardless Tyroc," he says aloud, "but I admit being in melee range with this titan is not a thing we need to be doing. But this big ugly is going to give us fits..."

Muttering just loud enough for Tyroc to hear, Aaron (yes, Aaron not Kevin. Oy) says, "Gee the person who is actually in charge had the very same idea....BEFORE anyone almost was killed. Tyroc 1, Misha stupid."

Misha turns his attention to the big guy, "Hey... I don't appreciate you hitting women... be it Rachel or Screaming Eagle... how about you try smashing me? If you can touch me..."

Another Taunt +10, to come and attack Misha, He is using Full Defense including his usage of Leadership, Hero Point if below 12 on the normal roll.

Staying in his earthen form, Aaron lumbers to the side, making sure to stay close enough to the huge man for his ensnare to work but not too close to Misha in case that taunt works. Seeing that the snare almost had him last time, Aaron will try to grab the massive elite with his rocky grasp again.

 

[Agamon]

(Where the heck did Kevin come from? Oy indeed...)

Initiative: Misha 25 (f.def), Shimmering Samurai 24 (HP, Boost +2), Neutron 22 (HP), Silvertip 21 (1S, 4L, 5HP, fatigued), Blizzard 21, Mimic 16, Lupa 15 (1L, HP, disabled), Elementor 15 (HP), Cumulus 14 (HP), Sarah 11, Big Ugly 9 (2L, 6VP, helpless, prone), Tyroc 4 (HP)

Tyroc carefully moves Rachel from the rock pile and back behind the main group. She did mention that she healed quickly, but she looks in a very bad way right now.

Turning back on crazed eilte, he once again tries to slow the beast down with his telekinetic powers. It seems to work for a moment, but the elite manages to barely shake it off again with a roar.

Attack roll: 18 hits
Will save (DC 18): 19 succeeds

Misha, unswayed by the devestating attack dealt to his teammate, attempts to goad the beast into focusing on him. His words seem ineffective, as the brute continues to trash about in the netting.

Taunt check: 16
Sense Motive check: 20

Kiro appears fairly upset over what happened to Rachel, but realizing there's nothing he can do for her, he tries to blind the elite once more, this time putting all he has into creating as bright a flash as he can. The normally calm Kiro begins to grow quite frustrated after the beast once again avoids the attack.

Neutron nods to Tyroc. "That's the plan," he says. Turning back to the monster, he focuses on the netted brute and tries to create a thick metal cable around him. The cable appears, completely wrapping the elite from head to toe in a constrictive manner. The enraged man tries to break free, but only manages to topple over with a *thud*.

The elite, his head, being all that is exposed from the cable, howls in anger as he struggles with the bonds. "This is our chance!" Silvertip yells out, running towards the bound elite as fast as his tired and beaten body can take him. "We need to finish him, now!" Reaching his target, he swings a massive fist right at the face of the big man. You can feel the attack shake the ground, as the elite's head is driven into the pavement. It seems to do little, however, as the large man, his face seemingly unmarred, continues to thrash against his bonds.

Blizzard, Mimic, Lupa, Elementor are up.

 

[Shalimar]

Use HP to stabalize, hopefully I will succeed in my Regen Power check to recover from disabled.

 

[Mimic]

Miguel looks at the hulking man, maybe a change of tactics is in order here, he mutters to himself.

He concentrates on the man and attempts to establish a mental link with him, if he can get by the rage he might be able to calm him down.

 

[Tokiwong]

Nevermind...
