Superheroes of The Trust OOC Thread (Accepting Alts)

[Victim]

You could Power Stunt the firestorm with extra effort and then just accept the fatigue result instead of spending a hero point. However, we may not have the time to do a ritual.

 

[kirinke]

That could work too. But we don't know what will happen. I did post two her two possible actions as either a power attack boosted lightening bolt or the fire storm/ritual if the thing is kao'd.

So. Power stunt/fatigue + hero point to do both the fire storm and ritual if the thing is kao'd.

Sorry about that, Hope can get a little focused when dealing with demons and necromancers and dark wizards....

Exactly. That's the problem. Megan's worldview is extremely secular. Going on about killing the demon or the warlock is just crazy fanatic talk. As far as she can tell, Hope killed Viktor because he could turn into a monstrous spider.

Perhaps if we offered Scylla some moist, delicious cake, she'd be more cooperative? What skills and powers can we bring to bear on the cake plan?

 

[Shayuri]

Hope could make an ice cake?

Does mind blast work on AI's?

I hate to sound egotistical, but I think Optic's our best bet against a giant computer, he is the tech guy after all... and they seem to have some pretty good anti-magic wards.

SO, assuming we can't negotiate with her, what are our options? I doubt we could dig through that much stuff, I've got a feeling we're on a time limit here. Thoughts?

 

[Victim]

Yeah, Optic should definitely take his best shot at the AI. If you can't persuade, try hacking? Optic's datalink might be able to hit whatever connections she's using to monitor and interact with the room. However, since we are probably on a narrow time frame, we might want to bail on nonviolent approaches early - time is on its side.

If Scylla really wanted us to leave, then why kill our escape route?

We would have got Sense Motive on the 100 or so feet of reinforced concrete, right? I need good data for plan B.

It is very hard to judge the sincerity of a computer.

It is very hard to judge the sincerity of a computer.

Alas.

So we can't tell if the cake is a lie? Or if the AI would pretend to be a friendly scientist?

What is the cake to which you refer?
