A Fool's Errand (OOC)

[Supercape]

1d20+18=24

However, I think that a blast 12 attack is DC 27? Making him bruised!

[GranspearZX]

Ah yes! You're right. *facepalm* I'll get this eventually...

[Supercape]

No worries! Never sweat about rules.

Ill wait for IC post?

[Supercape]

Round 2?

[GranspearZX]

Yep!

R2

14 :: Supercape [3HP] - Bruised

12 :: Smokey - Blinded (visual/radio dazzle), Insub2, Unharmed

11 :: Trigger - Bruised

[Supercape]

Move Action: Move to Trigger

Standard Action: Punch inna face! 1d20+12=21

Thats using his glowing radioactive aura, so its a DC 27 Toughness Save.

[GranspearZX]

TOU check: (1d20+7=20)

And Trigger earns himself another bruise.

Smokey attempts to overcome the Dazzle again: FORT check to overcome Dazzle (+1): (1d20+10+1=13)

And he fails, but that doesn't stop him from hurling fireballs at Supercape: Concealment Roll 50% (Success on 51-100): (1d100=44)

And he misses, hitting everything BUT Supercape.

Trigger makes a run for it, scrambling to a door towards the back of the room! (IC post incoming!)

[GranspearZX]

And that will start Round 3!

14 :: Supercape [3HP] - Bruised

12 :: Smokey - Blinded (visual/radio dazzle), Insub2, Unharmed

11 :: Trigger - Bruised x2

[Supercape]

How far is Trigger? Can SC reach him with a move action (and flight 4!)

[GranspearZX]

Oh yeah, SC can definitely catch up. Trigger's not even close to that fast on foot (Speed 1).

[Supercape]

In that case : Move action, fly. Standard Action Punchina face again!

1d20+12=22 I guess that hits, so another DC 27 Toughness save.

[GranspearZX]

TOU check (Bruised x2): (1d20+6-2=11)

And that renders poor Trigger unconscious.

Naturally, this enrages Smokey:

FORT check to overcome Dazzle (+2): (1d20+10+2=26)

And he can see! Thus, he tries to incinerate Supercape one more time!

Blast 12 (Fire blast): (1d20+8=10)

-1 makes it 9, but he misses either way.

Round 4!:

Supercape :: 3 HP :: Bruised x1

Smokey :: Unharmed, Insub2

Trigger :: Bruised x2, Unconscious

[Supercape]

Well this is going to be quick!

Switching atromic array to a straight irradiate power, microwaving him (er...in a non-lethal way, of course)...its a perception attack so DC 27 Toughness roll.

[GranspearZX]

TOU check: (1d20+12=32)

And Smokey powers through. And tries to punch Supercape with a flaming fist!

Attack Roll (Strike 5): (1d20+8=11)

And he whiffs again.

[Supercape]

Supercape will change tack here, and bathe Smokey in radiation...its a DC 20 Fort Nauseate attack.

[GranspearZX]

(It occurs to me that I missed the marker for Round 5. Derp.)

FORT save: (1d20+12=19)

And he fails, making him Sickened.

Recognizing his problem and what Supercape is really doing, he backs off, launching another burst of flame at Supercape (Blast 12) while moving as far back as he can with his move action.

Ranged attack (Blast 12): (1d20+8=9)

And he whiffs it. REALLY whiffs it.

GM Fiat! His shot goes high and hits some of the pipes in the ceiling. The explosion doesn't damage anything but it sends a cloud of steam everywhere, obscuring the whole room. (Visual).

IC post forthcoming!

[Supercape]

not much of a disadvantage for Supercape with his plethora of senses!

In any case, he will let loose another pulse of gamma, another DC 23 Fort check - hopefully another fail which will push him to nauseated!

Let me know if thats ok and I will post.

[GranspearZX]

Yep, it's perfectly fine. And on Smokey's behalf:

FORT save [sickened (-2)]: (1d20+10-2=27)

[GranspearZX]

No attack from Smokey. In fact, I think we can pretty much end combat here. :D

[Supercape]

Well at least Supercape's Supercape protects him from heat environments!

Any feedback from his supersenses?

1d20+15=31 for Notice roll.

[GranspearZX]

There's a definite dimensional disturbance, one that takes up a space equal to about half of one of the building's floors. It's a few stories down, but the drastic change in the way the surrounding looks seems to be part of it. The tear isn't widening, but whatever is causing it seems to be in a static place--likely wherever the yelling is coming from.

[GranspearZX]

And now, initiative time! Unless Supercape is surrendering or continuing to converse with the dimensional conqueror. :)

[Supercape]

1d20=5

Supercape, man of inaction!
