Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Victim]

"I'm good at ruining things," Megan replies to Nitro.

"Hit and run teleporters? I already dealt with one of those this week." But Frostblade created portals through ice, limiting the regions he could appear. And his attacks weren't so devastating. And he didn't have an awesome forcefield. And he was only one guy, instead of two. At least. Well, sh-!

Shooting Star flies into the factory, leaving orbs set to attack the nearest Black Knight upon its reappearence in her wake - mostly in the area between Nitro and Hope to cover the group's more vulnerable members. She flies past the vats of molten metal - those are bad news waiting to happen - and hovers before the human technicians.

(In French): "Umm, excuse me. This is now a super-powered combat zone, so you should evacuate." I said that correctly. I hope. It's been awhile.

"Careful, they've got forcefields, and probably cloaking!" Optic looks around, trying to spot where the knights could have gone.
"Someone get those techs out of.. Never mind." He stops as he sees Megan zooming off to take care of the techs, and smiles.. Good thing someone else was thinking about the civillians too. "Eyes open people... Try to keep the collateral damage down, we don't wanna hurt anybody... 'Cept the badguys"

[sblock=ooc]
You know the drill... Notice +16, True sight for anything not magically hidden. If I see them, I'll blast them and indicate their position. (Alternately, if we're still in the laser hallway, I'll try to turn the lasers on them). Otherwise, I'll keep scanning for them *Readied action to point them out when I DO spot them*[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian scowls.

"I'm getting tired of this...lets see how you guys like not knowing where to strike!"

She raises her hands over her head and intones in a resonant voice, "I call on the spirit of the watchtower to the east! Powers of air, mind and perception. I invoke you!" Slowly, she lowers her arms, and a sourceless breeze swirls through the corridor.

"Draw a veil over the minds of all who look on us. Let my voice be the only sound they hear, my will be the only light they see."

The wind gusts...and nothing seems to happen.

Viridian smirks.

(Using Glamour! Full round to cast (hence the long incantation) but it's a sustained selective phantasm that affects all sight and all sound based senses. She uses it to create false images of everyone in the group that move to imitate the real ones. Each person has a "cluster" of fake images around them that move as they do, and shift so that the real one's position isn't always the same in the cluster. Basically, its "mirror image" on a mass scale. Party members can't see them (they're selected not to be subject to 'em).)

Hope straightens, trying to get her bearings as she leans against the wall, she's still stunned, but is quickly regaining control of her senses. "Optic, try to get to the computer, it's a central one," she looks around, trying to figure out a plan of action.

(OOC: Since it's a Phantasm, doesn't that mean that the machines won't be affected by it?)

 

[Shayuri]

(Machines that are mindless...but we don't know that the black knights are machines...and if they are, they may be controlled by the AI, which seems to be sentient... I guess we'll find out. Since just about all Vi's powers are perception targeted or mental effects, this was one of the few things I could do. )

You are pretty sure that most AIs will be immune to stuff like this, unless they are designed to be extremely human-like (simulational androids, nanotech virtual biology, etc). They are vulnerable to hacking instead.

OOC:
How many Hero Points does Hope have right now? I lost count....

(Ok, thanks Matt...)

...or rather, she would have done all that, but then a little voice in the back of her head made her think better of it. Instead, she simply waited, looking all around...for the moment the knights made themselves visible again...

(Delaying action to TK one of the knights doing direct damage at DC 23 and attempting to knock back away from us. She won't, however, fling them into molten metal before she knows if there's people in those suits. )

 

[kirinke]

Hope looks around, trying to figure out where they would put the central computer. It'd be unlabeled, wouldn't it. They'd....

"Optic, the central computer. It's in that unlabeled room!" Hope shouts, using her wind carried words ability to convey it to everyone in the group. "It has to be!"
