One Pill Makes You Larger... (OOC)

[trollthumper]

OOC thread, and yes, we're gonna need it.

[Supercape]

Life Sciences roll for Slick

1d20+5=10

Fairly rubbish, but (s)he is no expert.

(I guess Slick is "she" for now!)

[Fox]

Force Field and Shield, go!

Knowledge (Life Sciences) Roll (Eidetic Memory) (1d20 + 6=20)

I loves you, Eidetic Memory.

Also, as we may likely need it soon:

Initiative Roll (1d20 + 6=19)

[trollthumper]

As was noted, now is a good time for initiative.

Cannonade goes on a 13.

And the freak goes on a 12. Jeez, I need to work on that Initiative thing.

[Supercape]

Even worse

1d20+3=10 for Slick

[trollthumper]

Okay, then, initiative order is such:

Dragonfly: 19, Unharmed, 2HP

Cannonade: 13, Unharmed, 1HP

Freak: 12, Unharmed, 1HP

Slick: 10, Unharmed, 1HP

Dragonfly, you're up.

[Fox]

Ranged Attack Roll (Blast) vs. Big Red Thing (1d20 + 7=24)

If it hits (haven't compensated for the thing's size, 'cos...well, 'cos I don't know the thing's size), that's a DC22 Toughness save.

And I just realized that Dragonfly's DC Block says 21, 'cos it never got updated when I took her Blast to 7. Blargh. *shuffles off towards the Edit Requests thread*

[trollthumper]

The guy's technically Large. And he fails, on a 13. Not only that, but the sheer force of the blast leaves him Stunned.

Now it's Cannonade's turn. Given the state of the guy and Dragonfly's mention of what's going on, he's going to try to get him off his feet -- the old-fashioned way.

And it connects on a 16, which is kind of what happens when the opponent is Stunned. He needs to make a DC22 Toughness save...

And look at that 12! Here's where we stand:

Dragonfly: 19, Unharmed, 2 HP

Cannonade: 13, Unharmed, 1 HP

Freak: 12, Bruised x2, Stunned, Staggered, 1 HP

Slick: 10, Unharmed, 1 HP

Slick, you're up.

[Supercape]

Move: Leaping (to head of freak!)

Standard: Whallop, Unarmed Strike

1d20+7=23

Should be a hit (not a critical, shame), DC 22 Toughness attack.

[trollthumper]

And he just makes it on a 24. Dragonfly's up again.

[Fox]

Moar. Moar blast! Though if he's still on his feet next time it's her turn she's gonna have to try something else.

Attack Roll vs. Freak (Blast) (1d20 + 7=18)

DC22 Toughness, as ever, if that hits.

[trollthumper]

Well, he's still Stunned, so yeah, it hits. Now, let's see what happens...

He rolls a 21, which means he's Bruised again. But the Stunning should fade on his turn, if Cannonade doesn't pull off a good attack...

Speaking of, Cannonade's going to make good use of his Improved Grab feat -- he'll attack the guy, then initiate a grapple in case he still needs cause to go down. And he hits on a 21. The behemoth must succeed on a DC22 Toughness save... and he does not, and is Stunned again, so yay for that. Next comes the Grapple...

That's Cannonade's 26 versus... the behemoth's 41. Yeah, not so much. So, here's where we stand:

Dragonfly: 19, Unharmed, 2HP

Cannonade: 13, Unharmed, 1HP

Freak: 12, 4x Bruised, Staggered, Stunned, 1HP

Slick: 10, Unharmed, 1HP

Slick's up again.

[Supercape]

No subtleness here: Standard Action: WHAM

1d20+7=18

I imagine that's enough for a hit (assuming he has lost his defence bonus)

DC 22 Toughness check - with 4 bruises I really hope he fails this time!

[trollthumper]

Sadly, Cape, you really seem to have the worst luck here, as the guy makes his save again. Dragonfly is up next.

[Fox]

Okay, this has gone on quite long enough, sez Dragonfly.

Spending an HP to get Power Attack. Using Power Attack:

Attack Roll vs. Freak (Blast, Power Attack (-5)) (1d20 + 7 - 5=6)

....yeah, okay, no. Second HP to reroll!

Attack Reroll vs. Freak (Blast, Power Attack -5) (1d20 + 7 - 5=5)

That's (3+7-5=5), but by the magic of reroll rules it becomes (13+7-5=15). Horray! Hopefully 15 hits.

Assuming it does, that's a DC27 toughness save, this time.

[trollthumper]

Well, I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... Yeah. On the other hand, he did fail, so he's down 5 on all Toughness rolls.

So, Cannonade will go the same route, using a -3/+3 Power Attack, coupled with a -3/+3 All-Out Attack, to hopefully put this guy down.

And that's a 9. Screw it. HP.

22. Okay, and with the Power Attack, he's at a DC25 for Toughness save.

...and that's a 26. Hoo boy. Here comes the hurt. He's going to try and punch Cannonade, and...

...he misses! Thank God for small favors. So, current order:

Dragonfly: 19, Unharmed, 0HP

Cannonade: 13, Unharmed, 0HP

Freak: 12, Bruised x5, Staggered, 1HP

Slick: 10, Unharmed, 1HP

Slick, anything in particular you want to do when you get up to the apartment?

[Supercape]

Making a quick look around, not quite a search, more of a scan...

Rolling a notice roll in case it is pertinent: 1d20+5=23

(If its a search, you can nip off -2 to that)

S(he) has acute and accurate olfactory senses so anything that smells important? (or looks important too - s(he) still has eyes!)

[Fox]

Attack Roll vs. Freak (Blast) (1d20 + 7=8)

Oh, awesome. Well done, Dragonfly.

[trollthumper]

Okay, so it's Cannonade's turn, and... a 2? I rolled a freaking 2? Great, now comes the meatball special from the freak...

And that's a 24 versus Cannonade's defense of 15. Christ on a tricycle. And the damage bonus breaks Cannonade's Impervious, which means Cannonade's gotta make a DC27 Toughness save...

Which he does. Thank God. So, current order...

Dragonfly: 19, Unharmed, 0HP

Cannonade: 13, Unharmed, 0HP

Freak: 12, Bruised x5, Staggered, 1HP

Slick: 10, Unharmed, 1HP

Slick is up next.

[Supercape]

Yes. Right. Slick is up next. Hmmm.....

Yes.... Right.....

OK. Gonna be looking round the appartment. I figure Mr. Giant isn't going to be Mr. Smart.

Looking for oil (cooking), chilli powder (or something like that), or, if nothing like that, seeing if there is any cabling / wire from the wreckage I can strip out.

I.e. I want to get this guy on his backside!

[trollthumper]

Okay, a quick search of the cabinets brings you two bottles of olive oil and some pepper, as well as a bottle of floor cleaner under the sink. I'd say it's a standard action to both find the slippery stuff and try to mix it into an oil slick.

[Fox]

Attack Roll vs. Freak (Blast) (1d20 + 7=25)

Much better. DC22 Toughness.

[trollthumper]

And he just makes it. Gah. Well, let's see how Cannonade fares -- and this time, I'm doing another All-Out/Power Attack combo, lowering Defense down to 3 to take Damage up to 9.

And that's a hit on a 22. Let's see how the behemoth deals with a DC24 Toughness save...

23. Well, at least that's another Bruised. And now it's the giant's turn to act again. He swings for Cannonade... and botches horribly. So, here's where we stand:

Dragonfly: 19, Unharmed, 0 HP

Cannonade: 13, Unharmed, 0 HP

Freak: 12, Bruised x6, Staggered, 1 HP

Slick: 10, Unharmed, 1 HP

Slick's up next.

[Supercape]

Lordy, 6 Bruises...

Anyway, Slick is gonna.. well, sliiiiiick

I have no idea what this entails but

Move---- Leap to feet of giant

Standard---- Pour oil

I'll make an attack roll 1d20+7=11 pfft!

[trollthumper]

Yikes. Well, you can always spend a Hero Point to reroll, if that helps.
