(No. Staggered is more severe than Injured, so even though I have to recover in order from most to least severe, this doesn't affect that. See http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?t=12347&highlight=)

(Also, I sort of doubt that Hope is staggered, since given that it was lethal damage she'd be disabled as well, so that was probably a typo... I hope)

OW! It's pretty rare that Nitro feels more than a little bit hurt. Nitro shakes off his stun with an HP.

(When is my turn supposed to be? Hopefully before Viridian. Hopefully someone will shoot at the downed Knight while it's still stunned)

If the downed Knight is still in one piece (assuming it's prone and stunned), Nitro leaps over and hits it with a crushing punch right between the eyes- hopefully knocking its head off! Power Attack for 3, charge for +2 attack, gives +7 attack, 17 damage. If it's not prone for some reason, PA for 1 instead. If not stunned or prone, attack spider-bots instead. "Payback, sneaky robot scum!"

If the downed Knight has been destroyed, Shockwave those dozen spider-bots and anything else I can get in.

(Edit- I rolled Acrobatics DC 20 to stand as a free action on Invisible Castle and made it http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1407857)

Nitro rolls out of the welding bots' range, jumps to his feat, and leaps at the fallen robot, punching its face in. (Disabled!)

If Jemal doesn't post soon, I say that Optic fires at the downed robot as well, hoping to destroy it.

(Why not just punch it? Snare won't do much good against the teleporting black knights and you can probably knock out anything else in a hit.)

Hope is going to concentrate on not dying. Drat it, fire is her cryptonite! When she can, she'll do something. Hmmm. I was thinking of her taking some ranks in regeneration the next time we get some PP.

Doesn't Hope get another Hero point for being dropped out of action this round? She got one for figuring out the central computer's hiding place. But doesn't she get another one?

Taking the co-pilot seat, Guardian turns to the pilot. "The perimeter defenses should go first. I'll go in first, get an idea of the defenses, and send it to you for a precise attack. Get in, take them out, and I'll protect the plane as much as I can. An invisible shield should keep most of the damage away from the hull. I can make it to where it's a constant field with the plane, so that any quick maneuvering will not lose the shield."(assuming he has the capability of the iPhone, he's going to make sure he has the capability to send these guys any information should he be separated from them. Eidetic Memory for taking in all the building defenses...)

He turns to the others in the hull of the plane. "Make sure your shots count! We only have one pass at this. I can scan the place as well, in case there needs to be a second flyover."

Plan is to get into plane, fly near to the compound, pull up a Create Objects 8, tethered to plane so it moves with it as one, with precise ability to create holes in the shield, so that all missiles and rail gun ammunition can attack freely on the ground forces. Yes, this leaves holes in the 'armor' but they knew what they had signed up for. Nothing in this job is certain...

Once over the compound, he will play it by ear. If he can get some shots off at incoming missiles, then he will try to take out any missiles before they hit the plane's shield. Blast +11, penetrating 3, autofire 1, affect insubstantial, DC+11 +autofire

Should he need it, his triggered Deflect is up and running, set to protect him should he get attacked somehow from any ranged AND mental attacks. If a direct blast on the incoming missiles is not effective, then it's revert to his Area Burst blast +11, affects insubstantial, knockback x3.

Summarize: Fly with plane to near the complex. Leave plane and fly alone to gather the details of buildings, defenses, places of power sources/generators, and send all info in form of picture with notes via iPhone to pilot. Once info is relayed, start the fireworks show. Take out as much of the defenses as possible with blasts, area bursts, etc..

Then find a way into complex to aid the others...

Only after the fight, so you can't use it to recover.

Double drat. Cue the circling birdies and stars then.

The group agrees to the plan. The pilot, Jack Dantoni, says "We already know that there is an open area in front of the cliff where we can land, but its right in front of the main anti-air battery, consisting of three rail guns and its own sensor system. Once things are safe, I'm going to land on the cliff edge."

As you get close enough to leave the plane, you see the mountaintop base up ahead, and you get out and scout. A number of buildings are on fire. The central mansion has a big hole in it. What used to be the main sensor array is completely destroyed, which is good for you, as is the communications building and all the antennas and satellite dishes nearby. The three railguns are out and pointing out in your direction. There are robot bodies strewn about, and nothing apparently moving on the ground. Two helicopters are burning on their pads.

The rail guns can't hit the plane, but they can hit you. However, Wren manages to dodge the attacks of two of them, and entirely deflect the attacks of a third by conjuring a shield.

Apparently the plane was spotted by advance scouts somewhere, and a hanger opens up in the side of the mountain. Looking in, you can see two pairs of winged, humanoid robots get a running start and take off, propelled by rockets.

She'll be ok next round though. Note that Nitro pointed out that I was mistaken in giving her the staggered result. The hits are certainly adding up though.
