Superheroes of The Trust OOC Thread (Accepting Alts)

Questions!

How close together are the heroes right now? If Thess burns some Extra Effort to increase the area of her warded circle, could she encapsulate them?

Does Thess have a line of fire to zap all/most of the riflemen with Emotion Control (which is a burst area, I believe)?

If the base defenses against teleports are still working, would Extra Effort to create a Penetrating version of her spell defeat the defense? The Penetrating advantage seems fairly limited in its scope for a +1 mod...thought maybe this sort of thing might balance it out.

Just considering options at this point. Thanks! :)

Most of the shooters couldn't see Viridian since she's in the hallway some. Plus they have a good position with some cover and maybe concealment. And the facility just switched to back up power, so the lighting is probably terrible. I'm not sure that a perception attack would be very effective under those conditions, which is really unfortunate since it'd wonders. Plus it'd be rather interesting if any allies were also caught in the spell.

Since it seems to be mostly humans shooting, Illusion might be effective.

What's Viridian's status with HP, fatigue, and injuries? She'd have to spend an HP to avoid the stun of course. But extra effort probably opens up some options. A version of the emotion control moved to battle magic would probably not be a full action so Viridian could move into position to see more guys and maybe through in some secondary effects to better affect the targets. Sense Dependent Hearing combined with an Area might work pretty well - a sort of combo of elements from her mind control and emotion control.

I was thinking Shooting Star could either try to run away, or curl into a ball on the ground. :( Her total injuries are only 1 shy of her toughness; it's sort of surprising she wasn't stunned again by the 2 hits she couldn't/didn't reroll. She's not really strong enough to carry someone even when not exhausted, unfortunately. I suppose repeating her last action is also an option, but I'd rather not.
 

Star still can fly, right?
Wren can use his create object ability to create a box or flat surface for Nitro, Viridian and Optic. Viridian can use her TK ability to lift all of them out on the thing, like aladdin's magic carpet. And if Wren can move the contraption, all the better.

Cheezy, but it's worth a go.

Not really cheesy, as Wren has Tether ability on that Create Objects... It would move with his normal speed (flight) so that wouldn't be a problem. He also has the Movable extra, to be able to move it with TK as well. With TK8, that's Strength of 40 for moving everyone on an invisible protection 'sled' with cover from anything trying to shoot them...

Although, I am waiting to see when Wren actually gets into the complex, as he's still a few rounds ahead of you guys. And it would appear that you need IMMEDIATE withdrawal... We'll see what DM_MATT says on this, ;)
 


I'm not sure Nightweaver port out everyone though. Even if she EEs to get another Progression feat, that's a 500 pound load for passengers. Nitro and Optic aren't small men; so that doesn't leave much room for Viridian and Star - who should probably fly off under her own power.

That's true, but for the mass shadow-walk I had something else in mind, should it come to that.
 


Simply power stunting a different Teleport power with more ranks in Progression to increase weight would work fine, as long as it still had sufficient range to get us out of the blast radius. But the shield against teleportation might still be working in both directions, in which case that wouldn't go so well.

or the shield may expand if she's dead set on taking us with the facility.

Power Stunting Dimensional Movement (one dimenson: Shattenwelt) with enough progression to get everyone out was what I had in mind. the shield that is/was blocking teleporting may not block dimensional movement.
