Avenger Assembled Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Jack and Jack together again for the very first time.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 Avenger is easily strong enough, especially with the crowbar, to Power Attack his way through tires without having to roll.
Gizmo Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Jack can use Skill Mastery for a 26 Stealth check, for the sake of argument, and a 20 Notice check.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 I'm just going to say that these PL 2 thugs are no obstacle for Avenger and Jack of Blades. The real challenge comes in a bit. :mrgreen:
Avenger Assembled Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Okay, let's call this a nice juicy rank 10 Explosion. That's a DC 20 Reflex save for everyone near the warehouse. The thugs inside the warehouse are out; even if they make the save, they'll take so much damage that they'll be out of the fight. Positron makes his save too. He easily passes the relevant Toughness save Outside...Avenger makes his save. And the thugs outside are down or fled.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Seems like a good time for an initiative roll. Avenger goes on thirty;' Positron goes on 27
Gizmo Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Initiative. (1d20+9=27) Man, everybody's all speedy-quick.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 So we go: Avenger Jack of Blades (heroes rule!) and Positron
Gizmo Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Right, well, I guess Jack'll run over and, y'know, stab him a bit. Power Attack 5. (1d20+13=14) Um, no. Gonna reroll that. Power Attack 5. (1d20.minroll(11) +13=30) That'll probably do it. DC 34 at full Autofire.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Somewhat belatedly: Avenger's Well-Informed check on Jack of all Blades. Remember that this isn't something JackB is aware of or able to counter. What does a DC 38 check get him vs. JoaB? (Keep in mind that people who know some fairly pertinent information about JoaB (Doc Archeville, Ace, etc) are within Avenger's immediate circle of contacts, and for various reasons are in very good charity with him right now.)
Gizmo Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Well, I think the counterpoint would be that Erik's made it very clear to both Dok and Ace that he considers the tracking down of his secret identity and particularly his family to be a massive invasion of privacy, to the point were he's never completely trusted Dok since and is still vocally annoyed with Ace. I can't see either of them just spilling the beans to Avenger on that stuff. Even so, I imagine he'd have a comprehensive understanding of Jack's powers and usual tactics, know some general stuff about the Interceptors (membership, goals, maybe where the brownstone is, depending on how much you think Dok would reveal to Avenger about his secret project), know about Jack's more public battles, about the whole 'hellfire thing', about his protectiveness of the West End and that he has a sister, probably even that she's been introduced to Dok as 'Jill' although that's clearly a pseudonym. I don't see this coming up, but he would know that Jack's somehow involved in some tournament sort of deal with his counterparts, and that Jack himself doesn't know what's up with that at all. Avenger would probably even be savvy enough to know that Jaci o' Cups and Coinpurse Jack clearly have European backers and that Jakken Staff, who's only show up once in Jack's backstory, is by far the most dangerous of the four. If there's anything specific you think he should know, give me a heads up and I'll mull it over.
Gizmo Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Alright, well, let's go with a DC 28 Taunt followed by another Power Attack 5. (1d20+13=26)
Avenger Assembled Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 He fails the Taunt And...sonofa. OK, he's Bruisedx2 and Stunned.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 OK, that's a DC 24 Reflex save vs. a possible DC 29 damage. And you know what, Giz: have an HP to counteract JoaB's luck with dierolling.
Gizmo Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Reflex Save vs. DC 24. (1d20+15=30) Hells yeah, Evasion 2! Right, let's try to get this done with. Another DC 28 Taunt (does he get +1 if he failed the last one?) and another Power Attack 5. (1d20+13=32) Nice, that's a crit. DC 39. Save against that, chump.
Gizmo Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Gonna try to counter the flames in the warehouse with Jack's abilities. Power Check. (1d20+6=26) Niiice.
