Amelia Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Notice check: 25. Just barely passed. Free Action: Use Extra Effort for a new save to shake off a lasting-duration effect, in this case, a new Will save against the Fear effect from Horus. Will save: 9. Natural "1". Reaction: Burn his last Hero Point to keep from being Fatigued next round. (I don't think your totals took into account his failed reroll from last round, so I'm pretty sure that was his last HP.) Free Action: Reconfigure the array to the Autofire and Claws/Fangs AP. Standard Action: Melee attack. Accurate Attack for +2 Attack / -2 Damage. All-Out Attack for +2 Attack / -2 Defense. Attack roll: 21. If that hits, then it's a DC23 (+1 for every 2 points over her Defense) Toughness save against Lethal damage.
RocketLord Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks, I must have forgotten to remove that HP. Fixed from this point on. That's a hit, with +1 to DC, so TOU vs. DC24: 25 The cultist makes the save 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 2HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Bruise (x4), Staggered 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 0HP - Defense -2 till next turn 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is blocking the doorway into the room, having just been punched by Liam from behind. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Ronin. Wadjet is in the hallway, next to the big cultist, learning that he's knife proof. Liam is in the room behind Cultist 2. Cultist 1 has retreated to the corner the furthest away from the door, with Strix and Lady Horus in front of her, Strix being in melee range. Ink is dripping from the books on the table. @Tiffany Korta is up Edited June 3, 2019 by RocketLord
Amelia Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Bloody hell. OK, if anyone wants me to Aid or Combined Attack with them, let me know. Better than being completely ineffectual like I have been so far.
Tiffany Korta Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Liam will stick with punchin' for now Attack Roll: 1d20+8 27
RocketLord Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 That's a hit. TOU: 18 And since he's staggered, cultist 2 finally goes down, no longer blocking the door. 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 2HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Unconscious 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 0HP - Defense -2 till next turn 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is knocked out in the doorway, with Liam next to it. Ronin is outside the room. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Ronin. Wadjet is in the hallway, next to the big cultist, learning that he's knife proof. Liam is in the room behind Cultist 2. Cultist 1 has retreated to the corner the furthest away from the door, with Strix and Lady Horus in front of her, Strix being in melee range. Ink is dripping from the books on the table. An IC post from @Tiffany Korta, then @Supercape is up
Supercape Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Apologies for delay. I have a tiny amount of time / headspace now. Going to move and try a Kung-Fu Kick on the big cultist. Just for a change! Kung Fu Kick: 1d20+14 23 I imagine that hits, but its only a DC 19 Tough Save. Still, looks cool and thats the important thing!
Supercape Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Just got reminded the Big Cultist is already unconscious! So going for the Illusion Creator
RocketLord Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Let's go with you making a move action to reach her through the room and past the others. That's a hit. TOU save: 20 Sorry, but she tanks it. @Avenger Assembled, you're up. Edited June 20, 2019 by RocketLord

Avenger Assembled Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Hey @RocketLord, is there something to this fight we're missing as players?
RocketLord Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 Not sure exactly what you mean, but there is the ink dripping from the books at the table, which Strix called out to inform the rest of. That, and the still standing cultist, is the only so far unhandled things in the fight. Of course, you don't know exactly what they were doing yet. Let me know if you need more info.
Avenger Assembled Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Okay, well, Lady Horus is going to go for the books - We're going to call this a Light Control 14 (Flaw: Range [Touch]) effect (yes I'll eat the fatigue from the stunt) to counter the effect of whatever the ink is doing ; what DC should I be trying to crack here?
RocketLord Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 As per chat: Trying to turn the bad ink into good ink. Give me a power check vs. DC30.
Avenger Assembled Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Okay, as per our chat discussion, I'm going to hold my action and give people a chance to Aid - either through the actual use of the Aid action or a power-stunt (as with the magic characters) Anna has 26 PP to sink into the countering effect, so we'll call that 13. What all can people give me here, @Tiffany Korta and @Grumblefloof? (I assume Ronin and Wadjet will be busy busting mooks)
Tiffany Korta Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Dr Thorne has Nullify 8 so she should be able to help!
Amelia Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Mister Strix will use one of the rank 8 powers in his array (or the array itself) to Aid Lady Horus's power check. Since he's Shaken, he's at -2 on all checks, so it's effectively rank 6. Aid check (DC10): 14. That gives Lady Horus +2 on her check. @RocketLord, on account of the descriptor for this action, please feel free to give Strix a complication for massive blood loss, such as forcing him to save against an attack effect like Damage, or inflicting Fatigue conditions.
Amelia Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Wait, how does that math work? My understanding is that one character, presumably Horus, would roll a power check to counter, and everyone trying to help would roll an Aid check against DC10, providing a +2 bonus to the "lead" character if they succeed (and another +1 for every 10 points they score over that DC10). It doesn't look like Tiff rolled a power check to Aid at all? I get that the 13 is Horus's effective power rank, but where are the two "8"s coming from?
RocketLord Posted June 26, 2019 Author Posted June 26, 2019 I'm letting the heroes basically combine their powers for the power check here, so the two 8's come from Dr. Thorne and Strix each adding their 8's to Horus' roll.
RocketLord Posted June 26, 2019 Author Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) @Grumblefloof: Let's hit you with a Fatigue effect, and that's +1HP. So, while we know that Lady Horus will succeed, Cultist 1 do get to go before Mr. Strix and Dr. Thorne, so... Seeing that Lady Horus is up to something, the cultist targets her, throwing a blast of ink right at her: 15 And that's a miss. @Avenger Assembled Do your thing! 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 2HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Unconscious 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken, Fatigued - 1HP - Defense -2 till next turn 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP Edited June 26, 2019 by RocketLord
Amelia Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Unless someone stops him, Strix is gonna crawl over to the big guy and start drinking.
RocketLord Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 Question away at the cultists and the book. Will be winding the thread down towards an ending, and combat's over, so no need to stick to any postingorder.
Amelia Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Quote Ew, but sure. Strix's relationship with the superhero community in a nutshell.
