Avenger Assembled Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Giz, if Citizen flies down to eyerange of the mound and uses his Penetrates Concealment, what does he see?
Gizmo Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Such things! Firstly, the mound itself is pure computronium very nearly all of the way down, with the ribbons on gold suggesting that the entire affected area is working as a single, interconnected processing machine. In other words, if one could rig up an interface it would be usable from anywhere on the computronium's surface. Right down at the bottom he can see some hunks of other materials, presumably from the bomb's atmospheric entry pod. For some reason the nanites have left that wreckage alone rather than converting it.
Avenger Assembled Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Citizen flies within ten feet of the mound and attempts to make contact via Datalink. Spending an HP on the Computers check http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4766034/= Nat 20! 34!
Gizmo Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Computronium MoundOpposed Computers Check: 1d20+12 13 I'm going to treat this sort of like a modified version of a grapple. The mound is 'pinned' this round and unable to make any new drones! Starting next turn if he can maintain the 'grapple' he can start using a Standard Action to beat down its firewalls using an Intelligence check rather than Strength. If anyone else can get into the system using Datalink or an interface they create they can help him! 26 - Asad - Uninjured, 3HP 24 - Citizen - Injured x1, 0HP> 19 - Terrifica - Uninjured, 0HP 17 - Maxima - Uninjured, Leaping 2 Rounds, 3HP 14 - Hronos - Uninjured, Distracted, 0HP 8 - Compu-Jackals x1 - Uninjured 8 - Compu-Jackals with Wings x1 - Uninjured 8 - Compu-Jackals with Wings and Penetrating Claws x6 - Uninjured 8 - Compu-Jackals with Wings and Penetrating Claws x6 - Uninjured, -2 Defense
Gizmo Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 CitizenSorry, I was unclear earlier: there isn't any CPU, it's completely spread out throughout the whole area transformed into computronium. The non-computronium wreckage Citizen sees aren't computer parts, they're just the casing that carried the nanites to Earth. Obviously the nanites needed to know not to transform the casing en route, so using the wreckage against them is an alternate strategy.
EternalPhoenix Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 http://orokos.com/roll/251944Reflex save. Oh, hey, 16. Worked for once.http://orokos.com/roll/251945Fort save 15. Good.http://orokos.com/roll/251946Toughness save. 17. Well. How does that round, again?Either way, attack roll time. Can't work with monster attacking you. Since these are minions and Asads 21 was effective earlier, taking 10 (minus the bit of power attack she can do) for a 23 result should hit, yes? DC is 22.

Geez3r Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Then we must kung-fu fight! Well first off, going to use a Hero Point to brush off the fatigue caused by stunting the extra Leaping. All out Attack +/-2 for a total of 18 on the attack roll. DC of 31 Toughness, Maxima will inflict maximum knockback on the jackal, hoping to send it crashing into another jackal and so on and so forth. Let me know if this second part needs any additional rolls from me.
Gizmo Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Well, there are six computer-jackals surrounding her - they're the ones with -2 Defense from charging to get to her. Does she have Takedown Attack or an area attack like Shockwave she'd like to use?
Geez3r Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 She does not have Takedown attack, but I think I'll spend a HP to get it for the round.

TheAbsurdist Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Move to Citzen to make him the epicenter, and use Asad's Area Damage. So 200' it should hit at least those four, perhaps more. 20 DC Reflex, and the Tou after that. Edited February 17, 2015 by TheAbsurdist

TheAbsurdist Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Riiiight, so: Using Interpose on Citizen now.
Avenger Assembled Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I would like to use the HP to clear the daze, yes, Giz. Citizen will yell for help as a free action He'll make a Computers check. 16 And do very badly. Well, darn.
Gizmo Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Computronium Mound Opposed Computers Check: 1d20+12 19 Alright, the mound is no longer 'pinned' and is able to generate more jackals this round, then! Good thing Maxima is about to arrive, then!

EternalPhoenix Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Terrifica's Nano-Fiber Battlesuit has a Wrist Computer as a Features power. Do you think I could stunt a Datalink off of the Wrist Computer? The idea was that it was essentially the Device version of the Laptop Computer Equipment. Edited February 18, 2015 by EternalPhoenix
Gizmo Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 I'll allow you to spend an HP for a Heroic Feat or use Extra Effort on the device itself to stunt a wireless connection for the wrist computer so that she can help Citizen with the Computers checks against the mound, sure.
EternalPhoenix Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 http://orokos.com/roll/258775Reflex save 16. Good, halfsies.http://orokos.com/roll/258776Fort save 12. Right on the nose.http://orokos.com/roll/258777Toughness save 12 also. Sigh. So...nevermind that whole plan, then.
Gizmo Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Ouch! Dramatically appropriate set-back! Have an HP for your trouble! Also feel free to get a nail biting post up about the nanites starting to eat through Terrifica's boots! Meanwhile, Maxima finally lands! 26 - Asad - Uninjured, 3HP 24 - Citizen - Injured x2, 0HP 19 - Terrifica - Bruised x1, 1HP> 17 - Maxima - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - Hronos - Uninjured, 0HP 8 - Compu-Jackals with Wings x1 - Uninjured 8 - Compu-Jackals with Wings and Penetrating Claws x1 - Uninjured
Geez3r Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Well technically, Maxima doesn't land until the end of this full round action. Since Maxima has Density and has conducted this large leap, she'll likely cause some damage when she lands. Whether or not this damage is purely cinematic or has any mechanical impact, I leave to your discretion Gizmo. Once Maxima land's however she's going to use Extra Effort to get an extra Standard action to try to smash, break, crack open, pummel and/or dismantle either ( A ) the largest amount of real estate she can or ( B ) anything that looks important to the governance of the machinery, prioritizing B over A. Maxima has an effective lifting capacity of 72, and a Strength bonus of +16. She'll take a 10 on Knowledge: Technology for a result of 25 to pick out anything that looks important. If you need any other rolls from me, let me know. Also since she is now in contact with the computronium, she has to roll some saving throws. Reflex save vs Computronium: 1d20+2 13 Close but no cigar Fortitude save vs Computronium: 1d20+13 18 If I remember right, that'll pass, if not let me know. Edited February 27, 2015 by Geez3r
