Hellbound Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 This is the OOC thread for Friday Night Fights.
Avenger Assembled Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 So this is at the Circuit Maximus or not? (One idea: SuperSlams is the farm team for CM)
Moira Morley Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 If you have no idea what Circuit Maximus is, here's the details The Circuit-Maximus is an illegal superhuman fight circuit, underground gladiatorial games featuring superpowered fighters for the amusement and betting pleasure of a jaded and wealthy audience. Its bouts are fought in a secret area, away from the eyes of the authorities, and the Circuit recruits fighters from among the criminal element as well as those looking for either wealth or fame. The mastermind behind the Circuit-Maximus is August Roman. Decades ago, he was a foe of the Centurion, a peerless criminal mastermind who enjoyed pitting his intellect against Centurion’s might. Now, his criminal empire largely gone, he has added a new twist to his “brains over brawn†by arranging for supers to fight for his amusement and profit. He also still makes criminal deals, usually arranging introductions between his fighters and potential employers without asking too many questions.
Hellbound Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 Farm Team sounds like a good idea. I don't imagine that Hellbound, at PL10, would be an instant superstar in the major leagues. I'd like to think that SuperSlams tends to max out at PL6, with higher power characters being rare in their ranks.
Moira Morley Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 How long has Hellbound been a fighter? It sorta plays into my post :P
Hellbound Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 Let's say that he's relatively new? Maybe only been on the scene for the past two or three months?
Hellbound Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Maybe Hellbound should throw a Sense Motive against Moira before he gets the wrong idea... oops, too late :D
Moira Morley Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Wait, how are they discreet? They're all over Freedom City. Did I just miss out on a reference or something :P
Avenger Assembled Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Discreet means their cab drivers don't tattle about what goes on in their cabs. Like someone biting another passenger on the neck. "At least, um, that's what I've heard," says Jack.
Hellbound Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 1d20+4=14 Sense Motive roll for Hellbound's Assessment of Jack's combat abilities.
Moira Morley Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 That is how your Density works, right? Also, she is more to his side than directly in front of him. I hope I got that through :P
Hellbound Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Tightly packed works. The main concept is that the scientists who made him couldn't figure out how to get that level of strength and durability without jacking up his weight. His dense cellular structure probably goes along with muscle groups that are more tightly packed than in a normal human. Oh, and... D'OH!
Moira Morley Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Pssst, you forgot to roll against the Assessment :P
Moira Morley Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Are you saying you continued to talk about your fights? or your earliest memories? or both? or none?
Hellbound Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 The road continued to pass by as he talked... ...is laying background imagery for what he'd just said about finding people bigger than him to fight. As the cab cruised along, eventually the passengers could hear the first thrumming beats of some over sized set of bass speakers... ...is laying background imagery for whatever is to be said next. Hellbound didn't continue rambling on about his childhood memories, but I also didn't want the conversation to come crashing to a halt simply because we're close enough to hear music. So, basically, I'm just throwing a few environmental references in now and then.
Moira Morley Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Is this supposed to be set now? Like in January? Can we make it a summer month? It'll affect what I post next.
Hellbound Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 I'm not sure what our timeline's intended to be, but let's assume warm weather regardless. Snow and ice don't make for great river-side soirée seasons...
Hellbound Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Ah, yes, Hellbound is offering Moira one free shot on him. He wants to see what she's got, and if she takes it she better make it a good one. It's probably the only one she'll ever get... for free, at least. ;)
Hellbound Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Notice -- Hellbound is deliberately lowering his defense to zero for Moira's sparring against his hands. He's not avoiding the blows, and will probably even move his palms so that they'd hit solidly. He's evaluating her abilities at this point, not trying to avoid the shots.
Moira Morley Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Good, because she's not deliberately trying to miss you, but... Three shots in a row at O'Ren (1d20+7=8, 1d20+7=13, 1d20+7=8) :(
Hellbound Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Two rolls posted for Hellbound's next action. The first being a grab attempt to precede the the grapple. Since Moira's defense is +0, I made the assumption that his first roll would succeed. For the sake of expediency, I went ahead and followed it up in the same post. Please let me know if this was not the correct thing to do and I'll edit.
Moira Morley Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Grapple check! (1d20+20=37) Close! But, eh, horseshoes and handgrenades.
Hellbound Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Untrained Notice check to see if Hellbound spots Moira not breathing: 1d20 + 8=10
Moira Morley Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Use of the Connected feat If Connected does not work that way, she'll have to use an HP off of her Create object, I guess.
Moira Morley Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 So, is Avenger here now? Or will we have to wait?
