The arrow strikes true, penetrating the guy who resembles Ares' force field and exploding on his armored chest as he turns to face the group, wounding him (1 Bruise, HP for Apollo, the villain fiated a reroll).Hope follows up with a lightning bolt, and again, some of its energy penetrates the field, causing him to writhe in pain but not fall. (another bruise)Now its the villain's turn.  Hearing Star shout "Wait, that's not the guy!, he answers "You must be looking for my father. I am Peter Voderac, but you can call me Phobos, Avatar of Will...or, "Master" will suffice."The room darkerns slightly, and Phobos glows with dark energy, his eyes glowing red.    "Now BOW BEFORE ME!  Look upon my might and DISPAIR!"Everyone is assaulted with feelings of doubt and the sound of his voice and the light in his eyes cause intense pain. (Will DC 22 Despair Effect, Fort 23 Damage Effect)The fearless Nitro feels none of the despair, though the sensory attack does hurt him a bit (1 bruise).  Star, ordinarily rather vulnerable to such things, manages to summon the will to resist him, at least partially (HP spent to avoid a miss by 10+ total freakout, but still fails by one).  Nightweaver resists the fear, but the light-based attack is especially harmful to her (1 bruise, after HP to reroll a staggered result)  Viridian, too has to struggle to resist (failed despair save, HP to avoid staggered, bruised though)  Hope grits her teeth to avoid the crushing despair, but collapses from the sensory attack (HP to reroll the freakout, stunned by the sensory attack).  Fearless Wren is only lightly injured by the sensory attack. (1 bruise).  Mr. Black shrugs off the entire attack unharmed. "Pretty big display you've got there, kinglet.  Now I'll show you mine"  He raises his guns and lets the clips fall to his magnetic belt, then quickly reloads with livelier ammo.  Mr. Black unloads numerous electrified depleted uranium slugs into Phobos' force field, with a few penetrating his armor and hitting him with kinetic and electrical force.  A small amount of blood leaks from one of the holes in his armor, but he stands firm.  (Free Action to switch from non-lethal to lethal, but he also has physical quickness 2 so he could reload as a free action anyway, 1 injury and bruise)Meanwhile, Star dishes out some light blasts of her own, yelling "Drop your weapons!"  as she flash burst at each technician, guard, and Phobos. Phobos, one of the guards, and most of the technicians seem blinded.  She then ducks behind a console for cover.Nitro, not especially fazed by the attack, says "Sidearms and suits of armor? They're no match for a good flying kick. Doesn't even have to be a flying kick to the balls." ...and proceeds to do just that, kicking Phobos in the stomach and causing the back of his head to bash through the bridge window, shattering it.  Nitro manages to grab Phobos and pull him back in before he goes flying out, and is easily able to yank him back inside by his armor's collar, and lift him in the air above his head with the other arm helping (bruise + stun + successful grapple)The three non-blinded guards all fire blaster rifles at Nitro, but all the shots either miss or bounce off his tough skin.  Apollo is shot by a technician as well (all the others miss various targets or are blind), but shrugs it off as a graze.(undamaged)(Those who failed saves v despair get -2 to attacks, defense, and checks)Next UP: Viridian, Wren, Nightweaver, and then the top of the order (Phobos, Apollo, Hope, Star, Nitro, Guards)</blockquote>
