(RP) Transformers: Robots in Disguise!

Stickshift gets Jackknife's transmission, but it doesn't change his plans much. He stands tall and faces down the approaching jets. He raises his hands and gestures them closer.

"Hey Noseplug! Get down here and face me!"

As Jackknife maneuvers onto the dock and prepares his strategy, Stickshift shouts out “Hey Noseplug! Get down here and face me!”

Bushido starts running toward the dock where Jackknife is. When he clears the warehouse, he takes a wild shot at Nosedive, who has dropped altitude as if he is going to ram Stickshift. The shot hits but seems to bounce off of the nose of the jet. Bushido then runs toward the dock.

Beep
Beep
Beep
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Stickshift signals a lock on his target. He launches another missile but the missile is dodged by Nosedive as he does a barrel roll around it. Nosedive returns fire with his twin Ion cannons. Green ion charged particles flair out at Stickshift. One blast flies over Stickshift’s shoulder, the other hits him square in the torso but splashes harmlessly away because of his thick, armored casing.

From his hiding place, Phoenix takes aim again on Nosedive and fires, scoring another volley on the Jet. Having seen where the blaster fire came from, Skywarp turns and transforms, landing on top of the Northern warehouse. “I see you, pipsqueak!” He growls as he fires his twin laser cannons at Phoenix. The first bolts score on Phoenix’s shoulder Actuator, stinging but not doing serious harm. The second bolts sizzle into the trunk of a cedar that Phoenix was using for cover, ripping it to shreds, causing the massive evergreen to fall.

But the large building was not constructed to support the weight of the massive Decepticon and collapses where he stands. Skywarp disappears into the warehouse.

“Impact! When did you start using a gun to do your dirty work?!?” Shouts Jackknife, revving his engine loudly.

“So you survived too, Jackknife? That’ll be short lived!” Impact yells as he throttles up his speed and drops his elevation and the familiar grind of his special Structural Integrity Augmentors rings in your audio receptors. Jackknife locks in his gears and roars down the dock. Hitting top speed, Jackknife transforms just as Bushido leaps into the air and transforms himself. Catching the Autobot katana, Jackknife makes a viscous, upward slash that cleaves into the nose cone of the Decepticon Jet knocking the jet just upward enough to miss Jackknife.

Nosedive flies over Stickshift, pulls up and transforms with a flip and lands behind Stickshift in what should have been an impossible maneuver.

--------------------------------------Summery; Round 2---------------------------------

Bushido fires his energy bow at Nosedive [18 (1d20) +3 (BAB+) – 4 (Nosedive’s speed coming straight at you) – 2 (range) = 15] and hits doing 5 (2d6) + 3 = 8 Damage, - 10 Gargantuan Hardness = 0 Damage. Bushido “lends” Weapon focus, Katana to Jackknife and ends the turn being wielded by Jackknife. Bushido takes no damage this round.

Stickshift fires another missile at Nosedive [18 (1d20) +0 – 4 (Nosedive’s speed straight at you) = 14] but misses.

Jackknife, wielding Bushido, attacks Impact [14 (1d20) + 3 (str mod) +2 (BAB) +1 (Bushido’s BAB) +1 (Weapon focus; Katana) +1 (Masterwork) – 4 (size) = 18] and hits doing 19 (4d8) + 5 (Str X 1.5 two handed) = 24 – 10 Gargantuan Hardness = 14 damage. Deflection maneuver (I made this up because your tactic using Bushido sounded feasible) STR roll; DC 10 = +1 AC vs being rammed, DC 15 = +2, DC 20 = +3, etc. STR Roll 13 (1d20) + 3 (Str Mod) = 16/+2 AC vs ramming. Jackknife takes no damage this round

Phoenix shoots at Nosedive [13 (1d20) + 3 (mods) – 4 (Nosedive’s speed directly away from you) = 12] which hits (because he loses his Dex mod to AC because Nosedive does not know Phoenix is there) doing 12 (3d10) + 4 (1d8 Marksmanship 1) for 16 points – 10 gargantuan hardness = 6 damage. Phoenix takes 11 – 8 Large Hardness = 3 damage.

Skywarp makes a spot check, total 22, fires his two Pulse Laser Rifles at Phoenix [total rolled = 19 & 16] hitting with one blast doing 3 points of damage to Phoenix. Skywarp ends his turn out of sight inside the North warehouse.

Impact uses his special “Ramming” Power (Stoneskin that only works to reduce damage taken from ramming into something) and takes 14 damage from Jackknife/Bushido. He attempts to ram Jackknife [Pilot roll total =14 – 2 for deflecting maneuver used by Jackknife with Bushido] but misses. Impact ends his turn 400 feet due West, over the Ocean.

Nosedive shoots at Stickshift [total rolled = 17] twice [total rolled =9] hitting once doing 6 – 9 (Stickshift’s hardness) = no damage. Nosedive takes 6 damage from Phoenix. He ends his turn standing behind Stickshift in Primary form.

NR 9 out of 11

Stick shift chuckles slightly to himself when he hears the Decepticon set down behind him.

"Welcome!"

He spins around, sparks arcing across his knuckles as they fly towards his foe.

[OOC - Standard electron punch. Attack +5* attack, 2d8 + 3d6 + 4 damage]

* I've never really given thought to how making an unarmed strike with the power affects the +3 bonus against metal targets. Your call, +5 or +8 attack (assuming Nosejob is made of metal :p )

OOC - I don't have Greater Imbuing Weapon I can't both lend Weapon Focus and BAB in one round.

Bushido bestows Weapon Focus and Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Katana) (Imbuing Weapon) on JackKnige.

" That was most enjoyable. Can we do it again ? "

Bushido's blade then turns a dull purple colour as energon rises inside it.

(Energon Blade (+1 enhancement to hit and damage the bonus to hit doesn't stack with Masterwork))

"Sharp eyed but overweight there Skywarp! Perhaps you should go on what this planet calls a diet." Phoenix taunts, as before moving to another hiding spot.


OOC: I don't think anyone was in range this round so I might as well do something constructive.

Ah... yes, you are right. I just saw that in the rules. I thought you could add both. Sorry. Good thing Jackknife hit by more than one :D
 

Jackknife: Autobot/Tracker Trailer (Soldier)

Realizing that Impact has over shot him Jackknife starts his massive bulk towards Nosedive as he brings Bushido forward with all of his power, “Try fighting someone your own size!”

OOC: Jackknife will move, as needed, towards Nosedive followed by a singe attack with Bushido.
 

“Welcome!” Stickshift says as he ignites his Electron Punch. Raw electricity cackles over his hand as he quickly turns with a roundhouse punch aimed at Nosedive. The blow connects, both denting the plating below an intake vent and sending electricity arcing over his body. A flash of fear sparks in his eyes as smoke begins to pour out of joints. Nosedive transforms and rockets away to the west as fast as he can manage.

“That was most enjoyable. Can we do it again?” Bushido asks. The magnificent katana ignites in purple as Energon is released from within. Bushido and Jackknife watch as Impact performs a dangerous move, cutting his engines spinning around and reigniting them in an attempt to ram once again.

Skywarp howls in rage and tears through the Eastern wall of the warehouse. He fires at the location that Phoenix was but the sports car has found a new home and Skywarp cannot see him. “Come out and fight, coward!” Roars the jet.

“Try fighting someone your own size!” shouts Jackknife as he runs forward swinging Bushido at Impact while the Jet streaks toward them. As Impact crushes into Jackknife, the Autobot cuts Bushido into the fuselage. The impact of the gargantuan titans is earthshaking, temporarily deafening every human within 50 feet. Autobots and Decepticon tumble from the dock to the first bridge before sliding to a halt some 40 feet from Stickshift.

Skywarp notices that Nosedive is fleeing and he fires a couple of wild shots at him. “You coward! What are you, an Autobot?” The jet rumbles.

Bushido is wielded by Jackknife and hits Impact, dealing 6 total points of damage. Bushido uses 4 Nexus Reserve points to activate his power.

Jackknife attacks Impact [17 (1d20) + 3 (str mod) +2 (BAB) +1 (Weapon focus; Katana) +1 (Masterwork/Nexus) – 4 (size) = 20] and hits doing 11 (4d8) + 5 (Str X 1.5 two handed) +1 (Nexus)= 17– 10 Gargantuan Hardness = 7 damage.
Jackknife is rammed by Impact taking 5 (2d6, air speed acceleration from speed of zero = 4/2=2) x 10 = 50 – 10 gargantuan hardness = 40 points of damage.* Bushido, Jackknife and Impact hit the ground and end their turn about 40 feet from Stickshift.

Phoenix finds a new hiding place [Hide Check = 14 (1d20) + 4 (Stealth) = 18 hide].

Stickshift Uses his Power (-2 points from Nexus Reserve) and tries to punch Nosedive [11 (1d20) + 5 (mods+BAB-size+Focus) = 16] and hits doing 12 (3d6) + 9 (2d8) + 4 (str) = 25 – 10 Gargantuan Hardness = 15 damage to Nosedive.


Skywarp loses sight of Phoenix [Spot check = 2 (1d20) + 0 (wis/skill) =2] Skywarp ends his turn standing on the ground at the rear of the North warehouse (Sort of inside of it but the walls and roof ripped down in that area around him).

Impact attempts to ram Jackknife [Total Pilot Roll = 21], crashing into the T600 doing 5 (2d6, air speed acceleration from speed of zero = 4/2=2) x 10 = 50 – 10 gargantuan hardness = 40 points of damage* and 3 (1d6, -1d6 Vehicle Ramming feat) x 10 = 30 – 10 gargantuan Hardness – 10 (Structural Integrity Augmentor = 10 damage to self.

Nosedive Takes 15 damage from Stickshift and transforms (morphing does not provoke an attack of opportunity) and flies to the west as his best speed, ending his turn at Air scale some 5,000 feet away.

*Damage by size multipliers listed on page 52 will be based on size difference not base size, just as relative speeds decrease or increase damage, as described on the same page. Jackknife and Impact are both Gargantuan in size, so I see no reason to multiply their damage by their size.


***EDIT***
Oh yeah, the missile made the turn and is heading out to sea after Nosedive.
