Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Raylis]

Shadowalking from the floor of the fight to the broken floor, "Looks like Barrington has his hands in everyone's pockets; if we're fortunate they may change their minds about us and we can stop redecorating this facility . o O {Enemy of my Enemy...}



OOC: sorry for the disappearance, deadlines were moved up at work >.< I was able to check in and keep up though

"Optic, how are you faring with Scylla?" Hope asked, sending her own supernatural senses out into the darkened area, hunting for both magical and mundane obstacles.

ooc:
Remember, Hope as the Hellborn Saint does have a 'good' reputation with the ummm underworld figures, so Scylla would know about it I'd think. And Scylla probably knows that Hope isn't lying, or at least believes in everything she has told the AI. Barrington on the other hand is a known crazy man and they already have their money from him. Getting rid of said lunatic would mean one less rival to deal with. And hay, if the trust and Barrington wiped each other out, all the better......

Oh, she's using her magical awareness and sense air flow abilities to ferret out any hidden tricksies or trapsies.

 

[DM_Matt]

No one is detecting any magic.

Scylla seems to be ignoring Hope's pleadings.

"Nice move. You've bypassed the acid trap. You may make it far in yet."

At the bottom of the stairs is an essentially-identical hallway sloping down as well. It has a similar set of holes and pipes to the first.

 

[Victim]

Megan whispers back to others via her comm, "The next hall is just like the one you're in." So, in the event of the enemy bypassing your acid trap hallway, the next layer of defense is ... another acid trap hallway? Shouldn't there be some upgrade to it - like a gun that shoots people in the hall and can blow up things blocking the acid, a force field to catch someone trying to rush through, etc? Maybe it's just a trick for getting us to waste time. Sh-!

"It doesn't seem right that it looks the same. Catch up. Maybe we can just teleport past these trapped hallways." Or would that be the best place for the extra trap?

"Wards," Hope says quietly. "If they block Viridian's long range spell, they'll probably do the same for short range."

Hope considers the holes. Acid first, gas next most likely. She ruins the holes and pipes the same way as she ruined the others.

"I don't count myself so lucky Scylla," Hope remarks as the destroying ice creeps up into the holes, covering the walls, prying behind them, freezing and wrecking wiring as they go.

Her own supernatural winds sweep out from her, tasting the walls, the floor, hunting for pressure points and traps. "Nor do I give up so easily," she remarks. "

"Whatever wards they have may block your power, but they haven't mine. Nightweaver says, feeling very much at home in the darkened hallway, "I'll see what's at the end of the hallway. she says, fading into the darkness and appearing at the other end of the hall.

 

[Victim]

"Wards," Hope says quietly. "If they block Viridian's long range spell, they'll probably do the same for short range."

"A walled enclosure or some armor prevents passage going in or out, but doesn't necessarily restrict interior movement. Generating a bubble instead of a widespread field is probably easier in terms of equipment and energy costs." Megan counters. And apparently Nightweaver can just do it easily. Her darkness stuff is looking pretty awesome right now.

 

[kirinke]

Hope considers. "You've got a point Star," she concedes.

I hate being the mouse in this little maze.... she thinks, glad that her ability to generate ice is helping protect the others. She doubted that Scylla or the foundry had thought to protect against that.

"Be careful Nightweaver," she said quietly, not wanting to loose another partner, even if they weren't friends, there still was that unspoken promise of looking out for one another.

 

[Jemal]

Optic's attention is split between his continued attempts to 'talk' to Scylla, trying to give her any information they have, and keeping an eye out, making sure nobody walks into anything.

"You're right, there's gotta be something more to it than the same trap repeated. Be careful, everybody."

*Using all forms of vision to see.. well, what I can see.*

 

[kirinke]

"Look for pressure points on the floor. That would be the next logical move," she said quietly.
