ooc Ink (OOC)

[RocketLord]

@Grumblefloof, @Avenger Assembled: It is not showing any ability to defy gravity. There's just a lot of it pouring down, and the level in the room is starting to rise. It is not moving along the ceiling so far.

[Avenger Assembled]

Lady Horus goes ahead and fires down through the hole she made in the floor! 

 Blast 14 (Extra: Penetrating 10 [as DMG 24], Flaw: Action [Full], PFs: Improved Crit 1, Variable Descriptor 1 [any light]) {26/26}

 

Let me know what kind of roll I need to make there so I can describe the effects

[RocketLord]

I thought I had responded yesterday, sorry!

 

No roll necessary, the hole is not really moving and is rather big. Feel free to describe the effects.

[Amelia]

I'm having a difficult time following exactly what's happening. Can someone please explain to me exactly what's happening and where everything is in relation to everything else? I feel lost.

[RocketLord]

@Grumblefloof I think that Lady Horus, Ronin, Wadjet and Doctor Thorne is in the room with the books, where they have currently started setting the ink on fire... including the ink that is pouring into the floor below, where Mr. Strix is currently clinging to the ceiling. Lady Horus' last strike created holes to the floors further below, which the burning ink is now falling into, though there is still a lot of it in the same room as Mr. Strix.

[Avenger Assembled]

My thought was that Lady Horus and Wadjet are 'upstairs', firing and shooting down through the hole the former created - if the geography of that doesn't work, let me know.

[Amelia]

Ok, I think I've got it.

 

Strix will try to capture a sample of the ink in his room, using Wall-Crawling and Leaping as necessary to keep from touching it directly. Is there anything in the room with him that would make a suitable improvised container, or should he burn a Hero Point for a temporary Equipment feat rank?

[Tiffany Korta]

Hopefully, I can do this as a simple Snare effect, but if not I'll throw in the HP to make this thing happen!

[RocketLord]

As per chat, idea works, and Rosa is now down on the second floor, with the ink currently being on the fifth through third floors.

[RocketLord]

Sorry, must have missed your question, @Grumblefloof.

 

The room seems to be storage, so there's multiple boxes with candy in it, including some with decorative glass that can be closed with a small hinge. Those boxes are about to be on fire, so up to you if you go for them or burn the HP.

[Amelia]

Strix will go for one of the boxes.

[RocketLord]

@Grumblefloof: The ink in Mr. Strix's room is now on fire too. I believe that triggers your achilles heel to fire with his instinctive fear. +1HP for you.

 

@Avenger Assembled, @Supercape: The ink's gone from the top room (of these), but everything's one fire!

 

@Tiff: Time to work your magic, if anyone can get the burning ink into your circle!

[Amelia]

So another Will save vs Emotion Control (Fear)? Or something else? If so, what's the DC?

 

Here's a Will save: 19.

 

[RocketLord]

Yeah, worked well last time. And DC20, like last time too, so just failed. -2 to attack, defense and checks.

Of course, there was also still their original reason for entering the building. The group that was in the top room of the building. If they were even still there.

 

[TORRENT OF FRUSTRATED EXPLETIVES]

 

See, this is why I was asking for clarification as to what exactly was going on in terms of space and location.

I thought we were in the top floor. I thought the room with the books and the animated ink was the top floor.

 

EDIT: The longer I think about this, the angrier and more frustrated I get. My PC has basically been idle and useless for several posts now, and that wouldn't have happened if I'd gotten the clarification on the local geography that I specifically asked for.

[RocketLord]

As I said in chat, my bad, I misunderstood the situation question. 

 

Anyway, to make it clear: The room with the books (where every page is now blank if anyone checks them) is about 2 floors from the top. To speed it up a bit, there will be traces of ink (like smudged ink on a paper) everywhere, pretty clearly leading to a specific room that's roughly in the middle of the building. No windows or anything like that into it.

[Amelia]

Misunderstandings all around. I'll live.

 

Mister Strix will activate Mist Form again, in the hopes that this will best help him bypass any obstacles or other guards, and he'll and get upstairs as fast as he can. He has Flight 3, so that's a 50MPH cruising speed.

[Avenger Assembled]

Anna Cline is going to stunt: 

Nullify Fire 10 (Extra: Area [Burst], Flaw: Action [Full]) off her Time Control array. 

Let me know if that works, @RocketLord, and I'll post! 

[RocketLord]

@Avenger Assembled That should work, let's see the IC.

[Amelia]

@RocketLord Are there any cracks around the door that Strix can slip through while he's still in mist form?

[RocketLord]

It appears to be closed shut with some hardened black mass.

[Amelia]

Assuming no one's around to try to stop him, Strix will attempt to break the door down, and probably tank the alpha strike.

BREAKING OBJECTS
If you want to attack an object that you have in-hand or that no one is preventing you from attacking, such as smashing down a door, bending a metal bar, snapping bonds, or cutting through a wall with a Blast power, you can apply force more effectively. This requires a full-round action. Instead of rolling, assume the object’s Toughness save result is equal to (5 + Toughness). Super-Strength adds +1 per rank to your normal Strength bonus for damaging objects in this way (and only in this way). If your damage bonus is equal to the object’s Toughness, you break it, 5 or more than the object’s Toughness, you destroy it automatically.

 

Strix has Strength +8 and Super-Strength 2, for a total of +10.

 

[RocketLord]

Door easily breaks under that. See more IC.

 

And Initiative for anyone that is up by the door or gets to it, please. You can all make it during your post, if you want to.
