EternalPhoenix Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) This is the OOC. Feel free to ask me quite literally anything about the thread, especially if it doesn't make sense. I've likely missed something. For the record, the store isn't that big inside. It's a storefront kind of place, just your average sized jewelry shop. There are five Customers, and three Store Staff (including the injured man). Four of the Customers and all of the Store Staff are Bystanders and thus PL0 as far as combat goes. However, there currently is nothing to separate the Customer that isn't from the ones that are Bystanders. The injured man is behind the counter, but the rest are pressing against the far wall and each other. The Lions...well...for now that'd be telling. However the ones carrying the jewelry are Minions. The one menacing the Bystanders is not. He's not about to attack them, just keeping them at bay and from getting any Heroic ideas. One last thing. This scene is meant to be Miracle Girl's show. Terrifica isn't supposed to appear until the end of it, but if it looks like she's having trouble the supergenius will appear early. All that AND an extra Hero Point to start, because this is complicated mess of a situation. Edited December 26, 2015 by EternalPhoenix
Heritage Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 For the record, thanks to the marvelous HGM, Casey now has Skill Mastery in Notice and Search with 20s on both checks
EternalPhoenix Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Well, what are you trying to do, exactly?
Heritage Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 That's a goooood question! Maybe it's best if she talks with Anibal first, since she's not quite sure what's she's looking for
EternalPhoenix Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 Right. As discussed with Heri in chat, the 10 Lion minions are all female, while the non-minion is male.
EternalPhoenix Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 When you're ready to go in, give me some Initiative.
TheRedGuy Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Okay, blasting the door with m'Blast 10. DC25 Toughness save. EDIT: And here's the Initiative Roll. 1d20+4=11 Edited December 30, 2015 by TheRedGuy
EternalPhoenix Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah...that'll open it up just fine. Maybe a bit too much. Next post is mine at last.
Heritage Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 http://orokos.com/roll/355775 Initiative: 1d20+9=17 Let's throw in first DC 20 Intimidation check, too, courtesy of her SM.
EternalPhoenix Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Rolled Init first. http://orokos.com/roll/355816 That's a 19 for the female Lions, all ten of them because Minions. http://orokos.com/roll/355817 And that's an 18 for the male Lion. Sense Motive checks: http://orokos.com/roll/355818 http://orokos.com/roll/355819 Well. The female Lions blow their save with a 14, but the male would be just Shaken with a 19. However, that is before modifiers. Intimidating a group is -2, and there's another -2 penalty because they are a size rank larger than Casey. So instead the female Lions are Shaken and the male makes his save. Let's outline the Initiative order, shall we? Female Lions 1 to 10-19 Male Lion-18 Miracle Girl-17 El Huracan-11 Casey has Female Lions 1, 2, and 3 in front of her. They take no actions due to her successfully intimidating entrance. Anibal's entrance has drawn the attention of Female Lions 4 and 5, who take no actions except dropping the jewels they were carrying in their mouths due to being intimidated. Two of them don't do anything. The remaining three take a move action out of the door Anibal so generously opened to around front. They are not flanking Casey, but delivering jewelry to that truck I mentioned in the OP. The Male Lion isn't intimidated in the least, but he's got his own task that he's seeing to. So, nothing from him yet. Miracle Girl is up in here, but let me post first before you go IC. Edit: I should mention, now that we're doing roll-related things, that there's an Illusion effect covering the shop. You're PCs, so I decided it didn't entirely affect you. Otherwise there wouldn't be a plot! Edited January 3, 2016 by EternalPhoenix
Heritage Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Oh I forgot about the truck! Oh well, moving forward. I'm assuming the Illusion is why no one in the street was aware of thr robbery?
EternalPhoenix Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Yep, that'd be the reason. I did also mention in the OP of this thread one of the Customers wasn't a helpless Bystander, but neither Casey nor Anibal currently has any reason to know that.
Heritage Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Okay, this worked once before, so let's try it again; spending one of her two HP to give Casey Takedown Attack for one round, then taking 10 on their Minion behinds! So that's a 20 on the roll, DC 25 Toughness effect ; buh-buh-buh-BAM! Edited January 1, 2016 by Heritage
EternalPhoenix Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately,I have bad news. http://orokos.com/roll/355976 Female Lion number 1 rolled high and saved on the dot. 25. No KO for you, let alone Takedown. Edit: And you're up, Red. Edited January 2, 2016 by EternalPhoenix
Heritage Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 D'oh, I hate when that happens! Should I edit my post?
EternalPhoenix Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Sure, and let it be a lesson in overconfidence too.
Heritage Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Well, she's young. Also those are stupid lions!
TheRedGuy Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Okay, so, 1) moving inside the shop, 2) using my Perception-range Suffocate 5 on the two lionesses that dropped their jewelry and turned towards Aníbal. DC15 Fortitude save. I know it sucks as a power, but Aníbal likes teh kittehs too much to seriously hurt them.
EternalPhoenix Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 I don't agree with that statement. Suffocate's a perfectly fine power for an aerokinetic. However, like all Attack powers, unless you have an Area Extra you can only affect one target at a time. Range (perception) just means you don't have to roll to hit with the attack. So. 4 or 5?
TheRedGuy Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 It's a fine power for an aerokinetic, but it's not exactly the most efficient one. Hmmm... I could use an HP to buy either Area or Split Attack, but seeing as I'm not confident this'll have any effect, let's just go with 4. I'll edit the post.
EternalPhoenix Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 http://orokos.com/roll/356451 That is a 16 on the Fort save to avoid suffocation. Now, let's see how 1, 2, and 3 do on their attack rolls vs. Casey. http://orokos.com/roll/356455 http://orokos.com/roll/356456 http://orokos.com/roll/356457 1 missed. 2 and 3 hit. The DC is 20, and they've got Penetrating on their Strength Bonus. Now for 4 and 5. http://orokos.com/roll/356462 http://orokos.com/roll/356463 4 misses. 5 hits. The DC is the same. I somehow confused 8 for 10 in my head, so there was two lions initially unaccounted for. I'll have them follow the other three this round out the back door and around front, picking up the jewelry 4 & 5 dropped on the way. They'll be 6 & 7, with 8, 9, and 10 still out front by the truck.
TheRedGuy Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Ay, caramba. Toughness Check 1d20+8=12 Spending an HP to re-roll. Toughness Check Re-Roll 1d20+8=27
Heritage Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 http://orokos.com/roll/356518 Dang it! Do they have enough Penetrating to get through Casey's Impervious 6?
EternalPhoenix Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Yes. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise. Strength bonus is +5 and fully Penetrating.
