Leaves in the Wind [OOC]

[trollthumper]

Fleur de Joie, Willow, Comrade Frost, and Gaian Knight deal with plant people from another world. 

[trollthumper]

And we are go! Everyone take a Hero Point for the falling helicopter and mundanes in peril. Our Host shall be represented by AA's at PL15, with some slight adjustments - STR +12, CON +12, ATT +13 (+18 Melee), DEF +18 (+6 Flat-Footed), FORT/REF/WILL +12, and Plant Mimicry has 9 ranks and 45 PP to move about. 

 

The Host goes on 29.

A 3, oh boy!

[Electra]

Fleur goes on 18

[April]

Init (1d20+2=18)

[Fox]

Initiative Rolls (Gaian Knight, Tiamat) (1d20 + 0=13, 1d20 + 1=9)

Gaian Knight goes on 13, Tiamat on 9.

[trollthumper]

All right, then. 

 

Plant Host: 29, Unharmed, 0 HP

Fleur de Joie: 18, Unharmed, 5 HP

Willow: 18, Unharmed, 2 HP

Gaian Knight: 13, Unharmed, 4 HP

Tiamat: 9, Unharmed, 0 HP

Comrade Frost: 3, Unharmed, 2 HP

 

The Plant Host goes first and shifts Plant Mimicry to give herself the following suite: 

 

-Applies Targeted Area Burst to Unarmed [12 PP].

-Links Drain Toughness 9 to Unarmed [9 PP].

-Applies Impervious Toughness 12 to CON. [12 PP]

-Additional Limbs 4 [4 PP]

 

She then takes a swing at both Willow and Fleur as vines creep out of her. That's a 36, with a DC27 Toughness save if it connects. 

 

Fleur is up next. 

[Electra]

Hits Fleur, but does not hurt.

 

Those vines do NOT look like they belong in the places where they are coming out of, eeek! They better go away. Fleur is going to use her Disintegration power to try and make that happen. DC 23 Fortitude save to avoid the Drain Toughness, followed by a DC 28 Toughness save. 

 

Move action to seek cover. 

[April]

The attack hits. Toughness Save, DC 27 (1d20+12=28), however it does not hurt.

[trollthumper]

The Plant Host's plants are now weaker by 9... and now they are mulch. And the Plant Host instantly collapses. 

 

We'd be out of rounds, except the helicopter is still losing altitude. Willow's up next. Let's see what she can do about that. 

[Fox]

GK stunts:

Move Object 13 (Lifting STR 65 [Heavy Load: 100 tons]; Extras: Range [Perception]) [39pp]

And he catches the thing with the power of rocks and dirt. Almost certainly not a pleasant landing, but a step up from a straight fall!

Tiamat moves in to help anyone inside.

[trollthumper]

Between all that, I'd say danger has been averted! We are out of rounds. 

[Electra]

Fleur will roll a Medicine Check on the woman, She gets a 22.

[trollthumper]

Okay. Given the rolls for Fleur de Joie and Comrade Frost, it appears that her autonomic functions are out-of-whack - slow heartrate, rapid breathing, things like that. Dysautonomia is associated with things ranging from autoimmune disorders to brain injury to degenerative neurological diseases. 

[Avenger Assembled]

Spending an HP to have a Detect Magic [visual] ritual up, TT, if that's okay with you.

[April]

Willow is going to imbue the hurt girl with some of the power that fuels her, with the intention of healing her.

 

Healing 17 (Extras: Total, Flaws: Limited to Others, Tiring, Feats: Persistent, Regrowth, Stabilize) [20PP]

 

This exhausts Willow, who will spend 1 HP to instead be fatigued.

[trollthumper]

And Plant Host is fully healed. Proceed as such. 

[trollthumper]

Okay, everybody give me Knowledge (current events) and/or Knowledge (history) rolls. 

[Avenger Assembled]

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3977741/ = 25 on History

 

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3977745/ = 9 on Current Events

 

Which is about right... 

[Fox]

Gaian Knight:

Knowledge Checks: Current Events, History (untrained) (1d20 + 2=4, 1d20 + 2=13)

Tiamat:

Knowledge Checks: Current Events, History (untrained) (1d20 + 2=14, 1d20 + 2=19)

Both untrained for both skills. Apparently Taimat's been watching some television!

[April]

Knowledge Checks: Current Events (untrained), History (untrained) (1d20+2=16, 1d20+2=3)

[trollthumper]

Both Tiamat and Sorus are aware that the Champions are a superteam based out of San Francisco that deals with threats to both the city and the West Coast. Tiamat is aware that Haruspex was a mystic who was active on the team for some time before her death; Comrade Frost is aware that she died in 2004 to keep a Dark Lord from claiming San Francisco as a permanent fiefdom. 

[Fox]

GK opens a teleportal to the grounds outside Freedom Hall.

[Electra]

Stesha uses her ESP to get a sense of the plants around them and what they're hearing and seeing. She will continue to expand her perceptions until she finds a center or thickest part of the green explosion. Visual and Audio. 

[trollthumper]

There is green everywhere. Not just in Berkeley, but in Marin, Silicon Valley, Oakland, and San Francisco proper. In some places, it seems to have grown wild and free; in others, it seems perfectly ordered, like the world's largest garden. Then there's the fact that in the wild places, species that should be invasive or competitive for nutrients - like roses along side dandelions - are growing perfectly without either suffering for it. Downtown San Francisco is particularly thick with green - the Transamerica Building looks like a gigantic Christmas tree, with multiple blossoms forming the "lights" - but there's no gigantic patch of green that might indicate a point of origin.

 

Fleur does get a sense over the ESP, however, that feeling you get when you pick up a phone and there's someone on the other line but they're not talking...
