Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

"Well, no point in delaying this then. I see you're dedicated to having our fight out here. Or were you hoping to take me hostage? No matter. I am no mere businessman, you fools. I am Ironblood, the Grey Gunner!"

Metal armor suddenly spreads over Jonasson's flesh, other than his head, and
large structures build themselves on his forearms, with small rail guns on the outside and shields beyond that.

Hope knows the name -- he was a leading scientist and bodyguard for Slobadon Milosovic until NATO made him search for a new patron in 1999. Hope is also aware of a classified mission intended to kill him before he could escape the country. Ironblood's rail guns were the actual cause of the first F-117 to be lost to hostile fire, not some old Soviet rocket.

Viktor transforms as well, as his limbs turn black and hairy and four additional ones sprout form his back. His eyes glow red and his face turns black. Pincers grow for his face. All the magic-users have heard of this one: Onigumo, a Japanese spider demon mercenary (he works for souls) known for his powerful shape-shifting and mental abilities as well as his animalistic brutality. They also know that he cannot be killed by normal means, but only through being burned by magical fire and finally slain with an obscure banishing spell (Ritualist should take care of that).

"Onigumo, guards, take them!"

Onigumo opens his pincers, and exhales an enormous volume of sticky webs which envelop the room. Everyone jumps for cover, and only Optic is slightly hampered (just entangled).

Jonasson starts expertly firing at the group, not so much mowing as blasting at each individually in rapid succession. Many rounds are actually stopped by the outer walls. They are apparently armored.

Nitro and Optic stand their ground, confident as the molten slugs bounce off Nitro's ripped abs and Optics' armor. (Nitro uses an HP to get a better roll after getting a staggered result) Nightweaver dives for cover and dodges the attack entirely. Hope is grazed, cutting a good chunk out of her shoulder. Shooting Star goes horizontal in the air, the bullets whizzing by her thin profile. Viridian at first thinks her force field blocks the shots, too, but suddenly collapses, banging her head rather hard on a coffee table. (1 Injury, 1 bruise, stunned, 1 more bruise on knockback). She looks down and notices that she's been shot.

No sign of the guards, yet.

Hope grunts as the bullets slice into her and she starts to glow as the winds around her howl. "And you should know, I am the Hellborn Saint!" She snarls, and her hands crackle with magic and lightening as her hair and eyes turn white.

She lashes out with her mystical lightening, which strikes at the demon. "Nitro, Optic, concentrate on the Grey Gunner!" she shouts, using her wind born words ability. "Viridian, Nightweaver, the demon!" she says as a faint scent of spring wells in the air, swirling around her shoulder. "Shooting Star, give us some cover fire, concentrate on the Grey Gunner"

Only magic could defeat this thing. Around her, a tightly formed whirlwind takes shape, glowing with pale blue St. Elmo's fire.

Wouldn't lightening be considered a type of 'fire'?

What's the init order? What does Optic see? (presumably he communicates this to the others). If Jemal doesn't come back, let's say Optic shoots Ironblood.

No, magical lightning is not magical fire. Plasma can be fire, but Shooting Star's plasma is not magical.

However, he still can be incapacitated by normal damage.

(Mechanically, he has the same "Immunity(Lethal Damage), Flaw: Converts to Non-Lethal" that Nitro has, but with magical fire being an exception, and Regeneration: Resurrection, with the mandatory exception condition of it being counterable by a spell.)

Optic finds that Ironblood's powers are based on ferrous nanites. He did not previously notice since x-ray vision does not detect that and microscopic/analytical vision through x-ray vision can't be done constantly (since he cannot use it on his entire field of vision in real time).

Similarly, Optic could have detected Onigumo's true form had it been hidden by illusion, but he cannot "see through" shapeshifting.

Initiative is as follows:

Onigumo
Ironblood
Optic
Nightweaver
Nitro
Hope
Shooting Star
Viridian

(I did not give them a surprise round, just a first go)

(Perhaps we could get some magic fire with a sort of combo attack between SS and Hope/Viridian.)

Nitro, what are you doing?! Oh Sh-! Megan thinks as hell breaks lose inside the conference room.

"We need to keep the guards out! Can someone jam or fuse the door shut?" Shooting Star requests. Are those shields directional? Maybe I can shoot around them. Who the hell put her in charge? Shooting Star darts forward at Gunner, weaving around Viktor The Bugman's webs. When she gets close, Megan slides upward, unveiling the shots created behind her back. The orbs fan out and test the nanoaugmented scientist's defenses. Shooting Star reverses course and dives for cover back at the table.

Viridian reels from the blast, her terrified mind screaming that she'd been shot, oh lord she'd been shot...holy crap she'd been shot...and so on, in that vein. Struggling to keep panic at bay, she incants in Greek, calling out that her enemies be bound as the titans in Hades, with unbreakable chains of thought.

There's a sour smell in the room, and a subtle flickering of the lights as black-iron chains with manacle clamps surge out of the floor, ceiling and walls and strike like snakes at the two opposing supers, trying to twist and tangle around them and hold their legs and arms fast.

(Chains of Thought! Area is shapeable, so I only want it to cover the badguys and the area in front of the door. DC is 21.)
 

Hope barely registers that she's been shot, she'd been hurt worse than this. The Aegis Agent lashes out again with magic born lightening, this time aiming for the webs.

She barely registers the winds taking a new form, concentrating around her wounded shoulder, stabilizing it, healing it.

Spider Demon.

Would either Hope or Viridian be able to cast a fire-based blast powerful enough to take out the spider demon using a hero point?

Once that's done, the other could use a hero point to banish the thing.

Barring that, Shauri's idea is good, maybe a Plasma blast and simultaneous magical blast could work.....

Another idea is using her lightening to catch the webs on fire, then using her telikensis to funnel the fire around the demon, which would mix fire and magic in a way, for the fire was caused by magical lightening and is controlled by magical wind.....
