Ari Posted August 13, 2016 Author Posted August 13, 2016 Endeavor: the sciencemans Will save: 7 Darnit. Volt's Intimidation check with the same message(+2 as well): 32 Uh...well, the Ghost Touchers can't possibly beat that, so I guess they all run. They head for the Hanger & Garage segment. Facsimile: the Ghost Shooters' attack with super-ice guns! Linked Nullify(fire/heat effects and Snare(Affects Insubstantial 2). Attack rolls: 25, 8, 24, 20, 10, 14 So four hits. But I'm ruling you only need to roll once because these folks are Minions, after all. DC16 Reflex save vs. Entanglement/Bound and a DC16 Power check to retain your current form(though wouldn't it be a thing if Alex just shifted to ice...).
Ari Posted August 13, 2016 Author Posted August 13, 2016 Endeavor, a Knowledge(Technology) and Base intelligence bonus roll, please.
Exaccus Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) its a move action so no dice on the changing to ice just yet! but here goes nothing! 1d20+5=11 1d20+6=12 well could've gone better, could've gone worse. Edited August 13, 2016 by Exaccus
The Sailor Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Knowledge: Tech (+10): 1d20+10 29 Base Intelligence (+6): 1d20+6 17 Well here's hoping that 17 cuts it...
Ari Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 From here Sakurako can sabotage the fuel cells, prepare a very nice looking amphibious VTOL aircraft for launch, and set it all so there's no guessing when the place comes down. She also realizes that places like this often needed access to nearby urban areas, and the readouts have what look like a very old map of the area, which has a small city on it labeled "BED-WIS". This thing is right under Bedlam City, Wisconsin. If she destroys the place entirely then there's the risk she'll do real damage to the city above. But the map could be so out of date that this isn't a factor. And if she doesn't obliterate the place completely, these people might just come back and rebuild all over again, no matter what safeguards are put up to stop them.
Ari Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Facsimile, an HP for the deck-stacking. Next round, the Ghost-Touchers move to surround Alex and layer on the Snare, making it Toughness 17.
The Sailor Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Odd that's being mentioned as I didn't choose the "destroy the complex" option. I was going with the EMP option. I'm gonna set back all their research. I'm gonna destroy their data. I'm going to brick every bit of tech. The loss of research data is far more disastrous than the loss of the complex. I'm gonna make sure they can't transmit either. Thing is, I don't know where I can pull this off or how. Or at the very least what I'll need to roll to get my plans underway.

Ari Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Son of a bastard I'm sorry Sailor, that was my mixed-up brain at work. Anyway, considering an EMP is just a burst of electromagnetic energy, setting off a surge by overloading one or all of the fuel cells should leave the place pretty useless.
The Sailor Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Question on the amphib VTOL though, is there a group heading that way? What sort of fire suppression does this place have? At least for the hallways. Or for that matter how many aircraft are in the hangar?
Exaccus Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 I will mimic this super-Ice! Not sure what kinda properties it might have but im guessing its a solid form so maybe the steel mimicry outlined on facsimile's sheet will suffice?
Ari Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 Sailor: the VTOL craft does seem to be the general goal of a bunch of the scientist people, but nobody has reached the hanger yet. Fire suppression is a smothering gel. Exaccus: Yeah that sounds about right, go for it. Wih the addition of Immunity 5(Ice effects) and the Ablative Flaw on the Toughness, I'll say.
The Sailor Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Also from what i remember it's slippery. Alright, gonna slow those scientists down before I turn the lights off in this place permanently. Then that VTOL is gonna be our escape. At least get us back to FC, then ditch it somewhere while we fly out the back. (I'm sure Exaccus' character can become something light so I can carry or he can glide back.) What rolls do I need for triggering the fire suppression system in their area, and to set off a EMP bomb? Edited August 17, 2016 by The Sailor
Ari Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 Endeavor can make both the Computers and Knowledge(Tech) rolls that would fit, so let's just say she does it automatically. Does she tell Volt to do anything? Security cameras are picking up the fight with Facsimile and the guards, by the way.
The Sailor Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 I think I'll tell Volt to head to where Facsimile is and assist. I can take care of the sciency-wiency stuff.
Ari Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Round 3 Volt easily makes it there in time for next round: 20. So Ghost-Punchers: Unharmed(x6)-GM Facsimile: Unharmed, 2HP Very smartly, they switch to their sidearms, Blaster Pistols from the Core Rules but at rank 6 rather than five because of GHOST SCIENCE. Their rolls: four out of six hit, so four DC21 Toughness saves, please. I do beg your pardon. That Tradeoff in the Iron Form means that's five hits. Edited August 20, 2016 by Ari
Exaccus Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Toughness saves! Edited August 20, 2016 by Exaccus
The Sailor Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Once this resolves I push button. Edited August 20, 2016 by The Sailor
Ari Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 Ex, it really works better if you make each save individually, since then it's simpler to track. As I see it that puts Alex as Staggered, Dazed and Bruised(x5), with the Ablative Flaw reducing your Toughness to +3. Additionally, you could use Extra Effort to temporarily buy the Ultimate Toughness Feat and shrug off the volley. Or we could just go with Alex getting bad busted and actually needing Volt's help for more than mopping up. And yes, I know Extra Effort is supposed to be limited to the hero's action.
Exaccus Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Sure ill blow the heropoint for ultimate toughness.
Ari Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 Alright. Pick which rolls you want to negate(you have two HP, after all) or reroll all of them individually and make this a do-over.
Exaccus Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Ok, Ill reroll them all individually. 1d20+8=10 yikes! probably need to reroll that one. 1d20+8=12 So thats a pass with the plus 10 for rerolls. blaster number 2 next. 1d20+8=21 and three 1d20+8=14 failure by 7 Fourth 1d20+8=23-1 for 22 Fifth 1d20+8=19 failure by 3 and lastly 1d20 + 8 = 21 -2 =19 failure by 2. so three bruises/Injuries and dazed. by my reckoning. Edited August 22, 2016 by Exaccus
Ari Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Okay then. Round four: Ghost-Smashers: Unharmed(x6)-GM Volt: Unharmed-GM Facsimile: Injured(x3), Dazed, 1HP Volt, having arrived, splits the attention of the guards. Three attack it, three keep firing on Facsimile. Vs. Volt(DEF12): all misses. Vs. Facsimile: All 13s(???). Volt uses his zip-zap: 19 hits. DC23 Toughness save for the Ghost-Smashers: All fail. Combat over. Ruling Alex shakes off the Daze, both get to the Operations Room without further incident.
The Sailor Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Okay now I'm confused. Is Fascimle now in the same place as I, as you said that Volt sheparded him back?
