Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

[Victim]

Star launches herself into the air from the ground. Disoriented by another head injury, she wobbles in the air and tries to figures whether or not Killer Bee would be moving towards her or away. She sets a trap anyway.

"KILLER BEE!"

[sblock]Use Acrobatics to stand from prone as a free action. Auto succeed.

Standard: Plasma Orbs on Trigger to attack an approaching known enemy. Full Power Attack.[/sblock]

Star pulls herself up to see the fight coming to her. Raven stumbles around a corner, pursued by Killer Bee, a guy in power armor she;s never seen before, and several soldiers. Raven pushes off the wall with one hand to keep standing, and throws a grenade with the other. It explodes in a flash of flame and produces heavy smoke. This keep the guards back for the moment, but not the two supers. Power-armor guy jumps out of the smoke and bashes Raven over the head with the butt of his gun. She goes down.

Killer Bee emerges from the smoke, and looks towards Star. He points his gauntlets at Star. "You." He says. "How convenient." Star tries to use her power, and the flame and magic solidify into a black-bladed flaming dagger. Star seems to be able to control it like her plasma balls. "KILL HIM!" the voices say...

No. Superheroes don't kill; he should live a nice long life. Star narrows her eyes. And every second of it should be horrible agony from the crippling injuries I inflict. Scum like him should hope in vain for the mercy of a quick death.

"You picked the wrong f-ing day to come here!" Star threatens, getting ready to dodge at superspeed. She spares a glance at the powered armor guy, "Take your goons and get out of here. You'll probably want to intercept the rest of my team; try to keep them busy." I want to be able to take my time.

Star swings her arm around wildly while trying to dodge the Bee's poisoned spines. Her plasma dagger makes several slashing passes at Killer Bee's armor in time with her gestures.

[sblock]Free Action: Activate Displacement

Plasma Orbs? to attack Killer Bee. Plasma Control +8 Autofire 2 (1 for 1, max 4), Penetrating 3 (4/rank, +3), Homing 2 (2 extra chances), Indirect 3 (any angle), Precise, Accurate

Not sure how this dagger is going to work, so I just posted her normal stats.

Def: 25/13. Toughness +9/+10 DR. Bruised x6. Staggered. Fatigued. Displaced (normal sight).

Elusive Target kicks in if someone tries to melee her. [/sblock]

(Are there any sort of exposed major wires or other hazards she can try to knock him into if KB occurs?)

 

[DM_Matt]

Meanwhile, you all get a message from Duncan.

"We have a serious problem here. Daedalus has a failsafe in his suit that sends video, gps, diagnostic, and other information to a number of allies when he is incapacitated. I just got that signal. In addition to Bowman, Daedalus, Dr. Met, and Raven are down. Medea, Dr. Simian, and Ares teleported into the vault behind Daedalus and Dr. Met. Don't even try to take on Ares in this situation. The whole damn city is awash with hate and violence. He feeds off it. At the moment, he's just about unstoppable. Raven has a beacon for me, too, with just GPS. I'll relay the location to you. I don't know where Liberty is. I suggest you do what you can to take back some captured leaguers, but you don't have long. They can evac with teleportation, and right now Ares is unstoppable."

(OOC: Are you going for an accidental kill by electrocution or the knife being better than it looks? Or are you intending to fight the spirits and try to capture him.)

 

[Elric]

Nitro, 1 HP, Bruised/Injured (energy), Fatigued

Some of you hear footsteps coming from the opposite hallway to the one where Skylark noticed the matter disappear, and thus where Star apparently is.

"Let's start by helping out Star."

(OOC: I don't have a good sense of obstacles or distance, but clearly Nitro, Skylark, Wren and Hope will try to close in on where Skylark sensed Star to be. If Nitro gets to a place where he can shockwave multiple villains without hitting any allies, he'll do so. Otherwise, try to attack normally and use Improved Grab)

 

[kirinke]

Oh great. Ares again....
She shuddered. That was not something she was gonna do a repeat on.

Hope looks at Wren. "Alright, idea, we give you cover while you teleport the others to safety." her lips pressed into a thin line.

 

[DM_Matt]

Responding to Star, the armored guy looks to Killer Bee, and says "She's not in my contract." He gestures for the soldiers to pick up Raven, while resting his rifle over his shoulder with one hand.

Star triggers displacement, and slashes at the Bee. The moment the dagger, connects, however, it converts back unto energy and drives deep into his exploding in a blast of flame and purplish-black energy. The Bee goes flying into the wall, breaking a hole in it. (Disabled!).

He struggles to lift his hand, and fires a volley of darts at Star (with a big AOOPA) "DIE!!!!!" , striking her despite her displacement (the mandibles in his suit give him a vibration-based sense).

She sees that some of the darts has hit, and the sedatives calm her rage. She collapses in a haze. She hears (but will not remember) a voice say "But YOU are in my contract," then the sound of an energy blast.

(Triggers toughness autoreroll, reduces the damage to a bruise/injury, but then the poison gets her instead)

The rest of the group arrives. They see KB lying in the hole in the wall, dead from a plasma blast to the head. The armored guy is sheathing some kind of advanced pistol. Soldiers are carrying Raven away.

"NO!" Hope growls and the air solidify's in front of the soldiers, preventing them, at least momentarily from getting away with Raven.

"Wren, Skylark, try to get Raven and Star away,"

ooc:
Create object to get a wall in place that'll at least stymie the soldiers long enough for Wren and Skylark to act. Is the armoured guy Ares?

 

[G. Skylark]

"Wrong way, wankers!" Skylark will attempt to catch the fleeing soldiers (and Raven) with a dizzying whorl of gravity waves. Hopefully without hurting Raven.

(Gravity control alt. power: Trip 11, Area-burst, knockback (inward rather than outward), Power Feat: knockback 4. Takes a full round action).
