Superheroes of The Trust OOC Thread (Accepting Alts)

[Victim]

With star's new action, she should be beside me as well, and would benefit from Interpose. I would gladly take a hit for her.

Might not be the best idea. Right now, Star is uninjured and has 27 Defense with 2 HP. With 3 injuries/bruises from the initial attacks, Wren isn't much tougher than Star at the moment and is easier to hit - so he's probably more vulnerable right now. Interpose works before the attack roll, so if you interposed, then Star's defense wouldn't come into play. Now if she gets stunned or feinted, then it's a much better deal.

Hope is also uninjured which is a surprise. Usually in past fights, both she and Star are usually the first two to go down or get badly hurt.

Yay for Masterplan!

Fear the goodness!

Hmm, if Deimos goes down before Hope can get a shot out, transpose that to the next available bad-guy.

ooo. Evil thought. Since Aron is playing up the Ares role, what if Hope called upon the 'real' Furies to aid in his judgement? Specifically Tisiphone the one associated with avenging murder. Heck. Since there are three ladies in the group, he might even associate them with the Furies.

That'd be after he's been taken. Or before if the play gives room for it.

Pop culture reference
"Now BOW BEFORE ME! Look upon my might and DISPAIR!"
Lord of the Rings, Galandriel to Frodo when he offers her the ring.

Did she says that? If so, it would probably be Tolkein using the same original inspiration as I: Shelley's "Ozymandias." The inscription on Ozy's statue includes the words "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" They are included somewhat ironically, since they are on a decaying ruin, showing Ozy's (and by extension, mankind's) hubris -- a hubris that this version of Phobos clearly shares.

Paraphrased.

Hehe, she doesn't say those words.

Good catch on the actual source though!

 

[Victim]

Err, Star was shooting at Ares, not Deimos. But this didn't work out too badly either.

 

[Shayuri]

Um....wait just a second.

I'm a little annoyed.

Would Ares recovering his weapon from across the room not count as an action? I know -throwing- it across the room does. So how could he recover it, then also attack?

It's just...hooray, you just totally wasted your action, Vi.

Okay, a lot annoyed.

Thanks for catching the oops on what I was rolling though. For all the good it did.

He can summon it back as a free action, like he did when he dropped it when stunned. Now were it prevented from moving freely back to him, that would be a different story.

 

[Shayuri]

Mew. When you put it like that, I should have realized TKing the thing wouldn't have worked.

Sorry about that. Next time I'll take a deeper breath before posting.

Question though. If I spend an HP or use Extra Effort to surge, does that give me another action I can use for powers? Could I have TK'ed the weapon, then surged and Transformed it, while he couldn't make a save to...er...save it?

Of course, it might be too heavy to transform unless I extra effort to boost power...which might not be possible if I surge too. Heeee.

Could I have transformed -part- of it? Like, say, just the blade?

 

[Victim]

The problem is that we failed to capitalize on the disarm - Apollo or Star could have picked up and dropped it into the ocean miles away. Nitro could have picked it up and used it (without really interfering with his attacks too much) - assuming that the advanced weapon just works for anyone (might be a stretch). I can leave an IF in my next action to exploit a disarm if you want and if no one else is doing it.

An alternative method for taking his vari-weapon out of play would likely be a TK Grab+Pin. Since his strength wasn't high enough to beat the disarm, grappling might not be too bad either (especially since doing it with TK means not exposing yourself to any nasty counterattacks - like if his weapon turned itself into a mass of spikes or something to injure conventional grapplers). Plus it also makes him more vulnerable.

You can't use Surge and another form of Extra Effort in the same round. However, you can get some of the same effect by spending an HP. Since your battle magic array is already on TK, you could try the Disarm, Surge for the extra action, and spend a HP to gain a new AP slot. Thess could get a higher power version of her Transform by using her battlemagic array as a base, or you could retool her existing transform by adding flaws (Distracting is a fairly low risk possibility ATM, especially if your action works).

Who wants to put the finishing touch on Deimos?
