Okay, been almost a week, need to keep moving, will say Rot is dazed and spends her turn clearing that (still want those saves when possible). Meanwhile @Poncho Golden Star is up! (forgot to move Spaceman behind him after he delayed last turn).

@RocketLord Actually, per UP, an 11 or better is a miss.

@Huckleberry Huck, tomorrow morning I am going to have to have Rot dazed and spend her turn clearing the daze so we can keep this moving.

GM The brightly colored barrage of high energy particles unleashed by Moon-Moth slammed into the only free Hunter mech, which was already unsteady on its feet after being damaged by Velocity. The impact of the attack knocked the mech a short distance back as it crumpled to the deck, its pilot knocked unconscious. But as the mech fell, one of the doors to the hanger opened as a tall female humanoid entered the hanger. The alien had a four arms, two of which held a staff with both ends glowing with energy. Moon-Moth recognized the new arrival, a Shoon known as Mare, who had been one of the late elder Star Khan's bodyguards when the weakened tyrant had launched his attempt to reforge the Stellar Khanate and take back worlds that had declared independence. The Shoon looked quickly about the hanger and then took a couple running steps before leaping across the hanger to land next to Gaian Knight, as she brought her energy staff down at the prone hero. The blow landed with tremendous force on Gaian Knight’s back as he tried to get back to his feet…

Putting up the updated list: Round Three 67 Velocity 1 HP (bruised, prone) 29 Yass’ir (unharmed, DC 27 toughness save on round 4 (due to secondary effect), prone) 26 Ghost 3 HP (Unharmed) 21 Hounds (3 telekinetic, 1 telepath all BOUND: one telekinetic bruised, staggered; 1 telekinetic Slowed and bruised 2 (round 2), 1 telekinetic bruised 2 and prone; telepaths bruised 2 and prone) 20 Boran Lieutenants (2 in hanger, both BOUND, 1 staggered, bruised and prone (on Vor’an), 1 staggered, bruised and Paralyzed (round 2)) 20 Hunters (5 in hanger,: Bound: 1 staggered, 1 bruised, 1 bruised 2 and slowed (round 2); one (unharmed), 1 bruised and prone) 18 Tal’gar (unharmed) outside bridge 18 Gaian Knight 2 HP (bruise) 17 Tough Aliens (2 outside bridge, prone) 16 Galvanic 3 HP (Unharmed) 14 Justicar Vor’an (Unharmed) 13 Moon-Moth 3 HP (bruised 2) 13 Mare (not prone) 13 Traveller 0 HP (Unharmed) 13 [PLACEHOLDER] 12 [PLACEHOLDER] 10 Artificer 1 HP (Unharmed, prone) 7 Patriot II 2 HP (Unharmed, prone) 6 Waymaker (unharmed) 5 Troopers (0 currently conscious in hanger, 6 in engine room, all prone) @Tiffany Korta Traveller is up!

Okay, another placeholder will be revealed, as a tall, four-armed alien enters the hanger. She will leap over next to Gaian Knight and attack (with +4 for melee as he is prone): 35! for a critical hit! That is DC 31 toughness save for Gaian @Fox

It gets a 17, 10 lower, so its second Staggered condition, which knocks it out! I will let you save that HP as the first attack takes it down.

Okay, then, the duplicate will stay with Summer and the other members of the band, moving them toward safety and readying a melee attack if any ninjas show up. Probably not worth its own separate IC post, so will wait to include it with my other IC post for Multi-Girl.

Okay, while waiting for Moon to post IC, will move forward with rolls. Bruiser leaps at the giant robot, All-Out-Attacking -2 def/+2 attack, and Power Attacking -2 atk/+2 dam. He just hits the robot, so DC 28 toughness save: 20, so again injured and dazed! (2 injuries on the giant robot now) Archer will move over near Daniel and ready an action to use his Trip arrow (with full Power Attack) and coordinate with Daniel to have Daniel try to trip it with his telekinesis at the same time so they get a combined attack. Then it will be Neko's turn @Avenger Assembled

@MoonSimply Are you attacking the Omegadrone that is attacking you? Or something else. If the omegadrone, it fails its toughness save, so is down. (remember, the Omegadrones are minions, so you can take 10, you could even power attack to do more damage (as long as you can get a 14 to hit while taking 10). They are all spread out (as the PCs are spread out), so none are close enough for Takedown.

@Avenger Assembled @RocketLord Just wanted to confirm where Neko is (and thus the Elite Ninja), I thought she had remained where she was backstage and just used her obscure without moving?

@RocketLord The two that hit me need to check the 50% miss chance from Timeout's concealment (miss chance only).

Okay. @MoonSimply La Puma is up!

Southside Freedom City, New Jersey Tuesday April 9, 2024. 4:30 PM Lexa Venn was busy in her new garage, located not far from Jordan International Airport in the southern part of Southside. The young woman had recently made the relocation back to Freedom City after some time in Bedlam in the mid-West. It had taken a bit of work, but she had been able to open the Chop Shop to start trying to provide souped up vehicles to the large number of superheroes active in the city. Of course, to help pay the bills until she could get that line of business established, she was also taking more typical mechanical work on sports cars and other non-stock vehicles. Lexa was just finishing up work on a Porche when she heard a voice call from the open door to the garage. "Pardon me, do you service electric vehicles?" It was a male voice, speaking with a distinct British accent. Turing around, Lexa saw a teenager, about sixteen, maybe seventeen, standing at the open bay door, he was just a bit under six feet tall, with short blond hair and bright blue eyes that seemed almost to burst with energy. Standing next to him was a teenage Asian girl about the same age, who was about Lexa’ s height with dark blue hair. It took Lexa a moment, but as the teenage boy smiled, she recognized him, although the last time she had seen him was when he had been ten years old. "It is good to see you again Rev. Been awhile." Lawrence Harrow said with a wide smile. ________________________ Lawrence had invited Mizuki to join him this afternoon after classes had finished to visit an old friend who had recently returned to Freedom City and opened a garage in Southside. On the drive over, he had explained that Rev had been one of the Claremont students that had been watching him when he was ten and the cosmic entity they had recently encountered had first tried to kidnap him, leading to them all ended up on CoVic Station 25,000 light years away.

@RocketLord Stormcrow is up!

Okay, per chat in Discord, Paper will also use the base -2/+2 Power Attack. So auto-hti/auto-critical hit, for +17 damage, so DC 32 toughness save for Big Horn: 31! another bruise. But, also a DC 27 Fort save to avoid being knocked out: 20! so he fails and is Knocked Out!

@Huckleberry Rot is up.

Multi-Girl Starshine's hard light struck the towering robot squarely in the chest and glanced harmlessly off its armor. The robot barely seemed to register the attack as its glowing eyes swept over the increasingly chaotic battlefield seeming to note the various targets in the area. Down on the ground, Bernadette looked up at the new threat before glancing over to where Iris had taken cover, seemingly starting to panic. "Calm down an' stay focused." The redhead called over. "Stay behind cover an' try ta pick off some o' these Omegadrones before they get lucky." The Irish teen then focused back on the giant robot from the Terminus. Taking a deep breath, she ran forward a couple steps and then leapt into the air a short distance. Bernadette’s leap brought her up next to the robot's left knee as she delivered a right hook aimed at the side of the mechanical joint. WHAM Bernadette’s punch landed solidly on the side of the robot's knee joint, bending some of the metal and sending sparks as the robot’s leg buckled to the side. The knee gave way just enough to cause the robot to fall down onto its knee, its left arm reaching down to brace it from falling over completely. The redheaded teen meanwhile had landed back on the ground and moved aside just as the robot fell onto its knee. While pleased with actually managing to damage the thing, she was still kept her guard up for any counter-attack or any Omegadrones. A short distance away, Bernadette’s duplicate that had been shot by one of the Omegadrones seemed to come back to her senses as she partially sat upright.

That does hit and bounces right off its Impervious. Multi-Girl will attack it, hitting with a 24, DC 27 toughness save: 21 Injured and dazed! Multi-Girl's duplicate will clear her daze. @Avenger Assembled Copper Knight is up! @MoonSimply La Puma right after. Still 9 Omegadrones in the area, 4 on the ground, 5 in the air.

GM While Golden Star managed to deal with one of the telepaths that had been harassing the heroes, that meant that he was suddenly not near any enemies and close to several of the troopers. Six of them turned their weapons on the teen hero and opened fire. However, only one managed to actually score a hit on the teen. Over near La Puma, the towering Khanate mecha raised its plasma blade once again and brought it down toward Fleur de Joie. This time the green-haired heroine dodged to one side, the blade slashing a wide gouge in the cracked pavement of the ruined parking lot.

Okay, Golden Star has volunteered to be shot. Six of the troopers open fire on him: only one hits. DC 20 toughness save @Poncho The last hunter will try to hit Fleur with its plasma blade again, but misses ROUND FOUR 26 Justicar Wryy (bruised, dazed) 22 Fleur de Joie 3 HP (bruised) 22 La Puma Negra 1 HP (bruised) 21 Justicar Har’al (bruised, prone) 20 Paradigm 3 HP (bruised, weakened -1 all stats rnd 1) 19 Star-Khan (fatigued) 18 Boran Lieutenants (x2, one facing Predator bruised 2, staggered, prone) 13 Predator 2 HP (bruised 2) 10 Sovereign (bruised) 10 Tough Aliens (x3, one on Fluer, one on Predator, one on La Puma) 10 Troopers (two groups: 20 to the left and 20 to the right) 9 Hounds (1 telekinetic on right, one telepath on left bruised) 8 Golden Star 0 HP (bruised 2) 6 Hunters (x1 in melee with Fleur) The Justicar has to clear his daze, so that brings up Fleur @Electra (after her DC 20 Will save (with +2 from the Inspire (after adjusted by her bruise))

He gets a 11, we will just call it KO'd

Sri Kath'lana Kath'lana listened as Cavalier gave his analysis of what they seemed to be dealing with. The F'terrix Star Knight scowled behind the mask of her helmet. She glanced over to J'onn as he mentioned Korus not having enemies that were likely to want to make such an attack against the world. "No long standing disputes? She asked. “Or old history with more aggressive local sector groups?" She paused a moment, then added, "but, if this is not likely the work of an external actor, what about any groups from Korus? Are there any that would have an interest in causing a planet wide catastrophe?" Star Khan was still studying the equipment in the cavern and finally spoke up. "Whether an external or internal actor, could we try to use the current path of the asteroid to triangulate its path to this point? Could be that whoever is responsible is still somewhere along that path, monitoring their makeshift weapon to ensure it achieves the desired result."

GM Dovox's eyes went wide for a moment as Kinarr crushed the crystal that had been weakening Paradigm. The Boran then gripped his glaive tightly as he stepped towards the young Star Khan, rising it above his head. "Then you are weaker than I thought, time to kill you and be done with this." But as the self-styled Sovereign brought his weapon down with all his might, there was a WOOSH of air as Paradigm put herself between Kinarr and Dovox. WHAM Dovox's glaive came down, striking Paradigm's left forearm, which she had raised up above her head to intercept the weapon. Despite the powerful impact, Paradigm's arm did not budge, the weapon glancing off harmlessly. "Not today." Sovereign took a couple steps back as he brought his weapon back up in front of him in a defensive stance. A short distance away, the Boran that had been attacking Paradigm moved over to where Fleur was engaged with the remaining Hunter mech. Swinging its large melee weapon, the League member was able to duck under neath the awkward attack. The Boran that had been fighting Predator chassed after the armored heroine as she moved over and took out one of the Hunter mechs. But he his attack also missed its target. Over near Golden Star, the Boran that had shrugged off La Puma's attack raised a large club and brought it down toward the Claremont student. However, she was easily able to dodge aside, the club slamming hard into the worn pavement. But even as La Puma dodged aside, she felt a jarring sensation in her mind as one of the alien telepaths launched a mental attack on her. Meanwhile the other telepath attacked Fleur with a psychic blast once again…

Okay, Sovereign will attack Star Khan, Paradigm will interpose and is hit. DC 31 toughness save. terrible first roll, so will HP for a reroll: 35, much better. A tough alien will attack La Puma: Missing very badly. Another chases after Predator: also missing The last (which has been attacking Paradigm) will go to attack Fleur: and, another miss The troopers do not have a free target that isn't in melee for once, so a number will ready an action. One telepathic hound will mind blast Fleur again: DC 20 Will save (don't forget the +3 from Golden Star's inspire) @Electra The other will mind blast La Puma: DC 20 Will save (again, +3 from the inspire). @MoonSimply And then it will Be Golden Star's turn @Poncho
