Mayhem for Sale (OOC)

[quotemyname]

Should I post saying "I'll be fine" or am I not allowed to have a character talk out of turn?

[Geez3r]

Talking is a free action.

[quotemyname]

So push is giving up the Standard to do more chasing of the fleeing vehicle. Right? Who's turn does that make it?

[Geez3r]

Blueshift 18 - HPx3 - Unharmed -

Goons 17 - 18 remaining (minions)

Push 11 - HPx2 - Unharmed

Blueshift is up

Well, I really didn't want to have to break out that rifle so early in the thread, but I suppose I've got HP to preserve it if I need. It's the only way she's going to be able to mook sweep fast enough...

She'll EMP the vehicles. It's an AOE, so no attack roll is needed. She'll also take a move action to advance toward them afterward, going closest to any of the trucks that pass their saves. I'm assuming EMPs will work on the trucks. Modern cars have so many regulatory electronics, I doubt they would run without working electrical systems, especially due to the loss of spark plugs and other such systems... If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll edit.

[Geez3r]

You do know you've disabled all but 1 of the vehicles right? Yeah they still run, but their top speed has been severely hindered and they can't maneuver worth a damn.

[quotemyname]

Well, you made it sound like they were still actually getting away. Would you prefer a post along the lines of her running to the nearest truck and pulling the driver out of his seat or something? I'm really not sure what you want me to do here...

[Geez3r]

They're driving away as fast as they can, but Blueshift it at least 3 times as fast as any of them, plus because they're driving on their rims, they are leaving gouges in the road, meaning that even if you somehow lose them, you can find them easily. I'm just letting you know all this because you said you didn't want to have to break out the Invention this early.

[quotemyname]

Okay, would something like radioing the FCPD as to the presence of the gun runners, and then following Push and the main dudes be a more appropriate course of action, you think? Let these guys get away....directly into the hands of the cops?

[Geez3r]

I don't know, do heroes usually leave the bad guys armed with highly advanced weaponry at their disposal for the police?

[quotemyname]

Geez3r..... You hurt my brain sometimes. @#$% it. My previous decision to EMP the vehicles stands. And if I have to state it, she'll aim the attack such that she doesn't get caught in the radius.

[Geez3r]

Well seeing as how its a touch ranged power, and therefore the burst is centered on you, I don't think you have to worry about that. All of the vehicles except for the one you didn't get to sabotage are hit by the blast and are knocked out of commission.

The five former drivers take their pot shots: Thug Attack rolls vs Blueshift, DEF 22, DC 19 Tough on hit (1d20+5=21, 1d20+5=13, 1d20+5=15, 1d20+5=11, 1d20+5=13) and all miss

The guy in the still functioning car keeps driving.
