Sophistemon Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 The hand-off is still scheduled for the following day, though presumably today has nearly drawn to a close, what with everything that's happened. Reviewing those films took some time, you'll remember, even at double-speed. To scan Freedom City for possible locations of the Fanatic's lair would take -- I'm going to ballpark it here, if you'll forgive me -- no more than four hours to comb through major city-centers of Downtown, North, South, and West.
Blarghy Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 So, maybe everyone gets some rest while the tech guys do their thing, then we all go together and hit the place in the middle of the night?
Avenger Assembled Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Sounds good! Seems like a good time for a GM time-skip post
Blarghy Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I'll post after Miracle Girl tells Adept what she sees. Until then, I don't think he has much to really say or do.
Sophistemon Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 I don't have the necessary amount of sheer, unmitigated gall to hurry anyone along after how many hiatuses I've taken from this thread, but I will say that would be nice.
Heritage Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 For the record, 'unmitigated gall' is one of my favorite phrases in the English language
Sophistemon Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 It's so much more fun to say than 'audacity.'
Heritage Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Okay, I just realized I have no idea what Casey is seeing! What does Sill Mastery Notice 24 get her with Telescopic and IR vision?
Sophistemon Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) @Heritage Spoiler Miracle Girl's incredible senses allow her to peer down through the roof, attic, and ceiling of the house and spy on the two women inside the kitchen. From her vantage point Casey can see that they are both blonde, with their hair done up in artfully retro styles. The older of the two is puttering about at the cabinets, removing ingredients for a meal, while the younger is seated at the table pouring over a textbook. Of the Fanatic there is no sign, although Miracle Girl can surmise that he might be somewhere within the imposingly lead-lined compound branching off from the property's basement. Said compound conforms to the shape of the model Punchline had showed the group earlier, with some minor revisions likely having been made following his entrapment in the film. There is no visual sign of Gabby Brown or her mother, just those two blonde strangers in the kitchen. Edited March 4, 2017 by Sophistemon
Blarghy Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I think we discussed this a while back, but I want to use Adept's Master Plan feat here. Adept has the House Rules Benefit that lets him use his Knowledge (Tactics) bonus instead of flat Intelligence, so I'm hoping it can give us an early edge. Knowledge (Tactics): 1d20+20 35 That'd be the full +3 bonus!
Sophistemon Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 That's excellent! Just let me know when you want it to start applying.
Blarghy Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Huh, I do get to decide, don't I? I thought that it began on Round 1 of the encounter, but apparently it's more flexible. That's good to know. I'll probably wait until we breach the bunker under the house and (hopefully) have the Fanatic in sight, if that's alright (assuming that I'm right and the people in the kitchen are merely decorative distractions). Punchline's idea isn't half bad, either; letting him tie up any problems there while we hurry after the villain could work. Does everyone else agree? Should we hash it out IC a little more, or just get down to business?
Heritage Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I was thinking of having Casey drop out of the sky, feet first, like a bunker-buster; right thorough the roof and down through the lead lining. But I'm not sure if she's capable of doing that, or even if it's a good idea. Suggestions?
Blarghy Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I really like the image of that, and surely she's strong enough to do it, but I also feel like it should realistically blast the whole house to pieces. Still, this isn't exactly a game for strict physics.
Sophistemon Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) If Miracle girl were to spin herself along the vertical axis, like a top, she might presumably drill her way through the building and potentially minimize structural damage. Edited April 1, 2017 by Sophistemon
Sophistemon Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Of course, now I'm wondering what would happen if she spun herself along the horizontal axis, like a circular saw...
Sophistemon Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 You and I both. I'm sorry for the hiatus; I had a research paper due and spent much of the last week reading.
