Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[DM_Matt]

(I'm assuming that Shooting Star and Daedalus are at least close to see what's happening back with the grav bikes.)

Shooting Star nods in assent to Daedalus's suggestion and accompanies the armored legend. He knew how fast I am. That's flattering. Well, actually, since you have no steady income, didn't display much moral fiber, etc, they probably think you're about one bad day from - The sound of the crash catches up to the flying heroes - What was that? Uh oh.

Megan yells to Daedalus and into the comm, "We're getting ambushed on the way to the museum!" just as the channel comes alive with Nitro's explanation. Oops, shouldn't talk over people. She reverses direction, then kicks herself around to change orientation. "Coming."

Tearing across the city, Shooting Star pulls into range (assuming that's possible) - and also close enough to get a decent look at Barrington's armor. Oh Sh-! He looks dressed to kill. Us. Oh Sh-! I wish I got a chance to look at those holoprojectors, see if he really is immune. This could be worse than White Knight. Sh-! He tortured Spirit to death - burned her face off. Sh-! I don't want to die like that! She lights the rooftop with a volley of dazzling strobe flashes, aimed mostly at Barrington and NekroPanzer. Then Megan pours on the speed and zooms away, trailing a shockwave. He dropped Spirit in one shot. I can't let him get a clear shot on me.

(Move Action: Move to within ~1000ft of the battle on the roof. Use Moveby. Then head away at a right angle and try to put something between herself and Barrington - if she has enough movement using her full 10000 feet.)

(Standard Action: AP: Flaring: Dazzle (visual) +11 Area (Burst 55 ft radius) Selective Attack. Should hit Barrington and NekroPanzer, plus any other baddies of opportunity.)

(Defense 23/15. Toughness: +9. HP 2.)

Shooting Star's blast overloads Nekro's digital imaging circuits that replace his atrophied eyes. Barrington's shield activates, helping to protect his eyes, and he blinks at the right time. Control freak accross the way seems fine, too.

Now back to Barrington. He looks angrily towards Nitro, and charges up his right circlet. "WHY...DON'T....YOU....FLY!" he shouts. Nitro tries to set himself against the blast, but his foot slips, and he goes flying a couple blocks and into a building, shattering some glass and crushing a table. He's unhurt, but greatly inconvenienced.

Barrington jumps into the vehicle, and seems to be preparing to take off. The blind zombie's machinery around his left arm slips down over his hand and a crossbar/trigger flips down and locks in, turning his arm into gattling gun. He runs towards where the attack came from, firing randomly, and falls off the building, busting through the street and into the sewers (Bruised, Stunned).

(NekroPanzer runs off the roof while blind and stuns himself from falling damage? Sweet.)

Indeed he did. Blind, enraged, zombies are known to do that sometimes.

So this is what happened before the actual break in at the museum?

Simultaneous.

As she blasts Faust (or attempts to blast Faust), Hope takes a quick mental inventory of her possible allies.

"Be wary. The shadow assasin is probably nearby. Don't let your guard down," she warns the other supers, using her wind carried words ability as she and Faust size each other up.

Sorry, when I read your post, you accidently put in Barrington instead of zombie boy. Confused me a bit until I realized what you really meant.

 

[Jemal]

Optic steps out of the doorway adjusting his mask, just in time to get thrown right back in by some sort of fast moving, human shaped tank. "holy... ouch..." He mumbles, straining not to pass out.

[sblock=OOC] Sry, was only supposed to be gone for a day, but got trapped with no ride.
Allright, Optic's got regen from Bruised, so I get 1 free check this round.. at +0 b/c my con is now 10.
Also, Toughness save is now +8 (+9 if I manage to regen one of those bruised).

And btw, Viridian got 2 bruised, stun, and knockback b/c she got a Nat 20 on her save? uh-oh.
*Also, how'd he hit both of us twice? I don't know of any way to make an attack hit the same person multiple times without using a Hero Point or DM Fiat.*

See the OOC thread. I misremembered that Nat 20 was maxed at stun, but its maxed at bruise. The second hits are knockback. If you get stunned, you get knocked back (if it is appropriate to the attack), and hit obstacles or the ground, taking damage. Also, there is another way to get 2 attacks. You can surge to get an extra attack, and then get fatigued. You can use an HP to nullify the fatigue, and thats what people are actually doing when they are getting extra attacks with an HP.

Hope blasts open the door with a burst of air, ready to attack

Generally speaking, interfering with their targeting is a great way to shut down a sorceror, but Faust has some tricks up his sleeve. He says "MMMMmmmm. So much power...all around. Your powers are strong, little girl. They will taste....exquisite."

He raises his hands in the air and starts sucking in the darkness. Nightweaver feel him tugging at her soul, using her manifested power all around him as a conduit. He sucks the darkness into his body, and Nightweaver suddenly find that she can't breathe. Almost immediately she starts to feel light-headed (Linked Life Control: Suffocate, -1 to attack , defense, and ref saves, half speed, only move or standard each round).

White Knight is unable to break out of his confinement.

Blitzkreig charges Viridian but fails to penetrate her force field.

I'm gunna let Viridian and Hope redeclare their actions, since they are no longer unable to see.

Nitro springs to his feet (Acrobatics DC 20 to stand as a free action) and takes two giant running leaps back towards the action. 1200 feet total.

(OOC: How far away is he?)
