Dr Archeville Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I'd said it wasn't Grapple, it'd be a Disarm attempt, so it'd just a Str check (with Super-Str figured in) for the Disarm check... but, for Gossamer, that'd be a +23, not +33 so that's a 29 total, which still beats the Power Corps guy's 18. Initiative & Conditions 20 -- Power Corps #7 -- Unharmed 13A -- Power Corps #5 -- Unharmed 13B -- Power Corps #3 -- Unharmed 10 -- Gossamer -- 3 HP -- Unharmed 9 -- Doc -- 3 HP -- Staggered, Unconscious 8 -- Power Corps #1 -- Unharmed They all open fire on Gossamer. Four attack vs. Gossamer (1d20+11=29, 1d20+11=29, 1d20+11=29, 1d20+11=23) :shock: Soo... that's four DC 24 Toughness saves I'll need from ya. (all nonlethal )
Heritage Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 Soo... that's four DC 24 Toughness saves I'll need from ya. (all nonlethal ) Hmm. Without her suit (she didn't have Quick Change until after this thread, in fact it's why she took it!) her Toughness save is +4, which means she may well fail all of them; does she have time to power stunt some sort of shield or protective barrier? :(
Dr Archeville Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 If you get four 20s in a row, she'd make 'em.... *ahem* Technically, no, you wouldn't, since you can only use Extra Effort (to stunt something) when it's your turn. But, I'll let you spend 1 HP now to do so.

Heritage Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 Gossamer is recreating the FF 8/ PH 2 combo again. Well she made one of them; huzzah! :roll:
Dr Archeville Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 First one failed by 1, that's a bruise (which'll impose a -1 on Toughness saves). Second one passes with flying colors. Third one fails by 10 (due to that bruise), which puts her at staggered (can only take a move or a standard action each round) & stunned. Being stunned might cause her Force Field to fail; it falls unless she can make a DC 18 Concentration check. Assuming the FF stays up, the fourth save failed by 6, so that's another bruise & another stunned. (If the FF fell, then she failed by 14, which is another staggered & stunned... but 2 staggereds = unconscious) You could use an HP to re-roll that third Toughness save. At the least you'd get a 22, which'd only fail by 2, so you'd just get another bruise. If you don't do that, I will need a Concentration check from you, to see if your FF stays up. If you don't re-roll the Tougnhess save, and the Concentration check fails, and she's knocked unconscious, you'll get 2 HP: one for being KO'd, and one for losing the good mad Doktor.
Dr Archeville Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Excellent! So that means the 3rd one passed. So in total, she's got 2 bruises (one from the 1st save, one from the 4th), and is stunned. Crud, that meas she still needs to make a Concentration check (DC 18) to see if her FF falls. On second though, no, it doesn't; while she's stunned they're not going to attack her again (so it won't matter if her FF's up or not), they're just gonna re-grab Doc and jet off. Once she's able to act again, they'll be about half a mile away. Have an HP for the setback.
Heritage Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 I think I'm waiting on you in this one; are you waiting on me? :D
Heritage Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 Diplo check of 19 for Connected, if needed.
Dr Archeville Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 That'll do. What's the names of the trio who's helped/fawned over Gossamer before?
Heritage Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Here's a link to the post; the only one named was Barry Irving, who sounds like the Warren of the trio.
Dr Archeville Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Sorry, I had the same problem you had: got halfway through making my post, then my comp decided to go on strike.
Heritage Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 Sorry, I had the same problem you had: got halfway through making my post, then my comp decided to go on strike. Understood. Wasn't trying to be a pain, but I know from experience sometimes older, less active threads are easier to forget :D
Heritage Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 I think we need to name these jokers, just to keep things straight in the future; based on previously mentioned names and famous mad scientists, I like these ones: Norm Sivana Rudy Langstrom Barry Irving
Heritage Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 So how are we working the scanner thingie? Is it a Notice check, a plot device that leads her right there, or what?
Dr Archeville Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Search checks, actually, since that's what's used for finding tracks. Do well, you'll lock onto him. Do not so well, you get sidetracked by something else. Do really not well, you lose the trail/lose progress. Give me... oh, let's say, five checks to start off.
Heritage Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Hmm, okay, the rolls kind of run the gamut : 1d20+4 = 18,20,14,6 and 23
Dr Archeville Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 That actually works out perfectly nicely... but the books I need aren't on my comp at work, so I'll have to postpone an IC post. Spoiler, though: before finding Doc & the Power Corps, she finds someone else, doing something rather criminal ;)

Dr Archeville Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Oh, something else I can tell you now: the initial readings she gets tell her to go southwest, towards Midtown.
Heritage Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 Gossamer got an 22 on her Intimidate roll; not bad for a beginner!
