Multi-Girl Iris's mental blast caused the Omegadrone to rear violently back at the sudden pain. Then it dropped out of the sky to crash down onto the pavement below. Bernadette’s duplicate looked up at Bruiser with a small smile if he asked if they were twins. "Somethin' like that." She replied as she quickly brought her legs up and then performed a "kip" back up onto her feet in one quick motion. "Sounds like your boss wants us ta try an' tear this thing apart." She added, before leaping over near the giant robot that was starting to try to push itself up off the ground as the original Bernadette moved over as well. The two identical redheads both were on either side of the robot’s neck, reaching up to grab at the joint of the neck and the torso, managing to dig their fingers in between the metal. Both started pulling as hard as they could, bracing one foot up on the shoulders of the robot to give them more leverage.

That drone fails its toughness save, so it goes down. You can make your IC post if you can now (even if it is slightly out of order). Thanks!

Okay, while we wait for Draco's IC post, Bernadette and her duplicate will go over to the giant robot and make an Aid Action attack (both will accurate attack -2 dam / +2 atk) Duplicate: 21 Multi-Girl: 16 Both succeed, which will give Bruiser a +6 on his attack on the giant robot. (the base +2, with an additional +1 due to Teamwork) @MoonSimply You are up!

As discussed in chat, without the Power Attack feat, you are limited to -2 atk/+2 dam (and you need at least +6 attack anyway to be able to Take 10 to hit it anyway). So, DC 25 toughness save, and it fails! So it goes down!

Yep, no roll needed, it is an autohit, and it will take one out, as it cannot make the Will save against it.

Sure, The giant robot is currently lying on the ground and Archer order the big guy (Bruiser) and Multi-Girl to deal with it. (Starshine's power attack bounced off due to its high Impervious) There are 3 Omegadrones currently left in the area fighting the group. One tied up with Jotunn (which may go down if Absurdist ever posts his action from last round) and two others: one going after Owain, the other in the air. The other 15 Omegadrones are over 500' away and tied down by Neko's obscure.

That unfortunately bounces off his 12 Impervious

Right now there is a Legion duplicate that hit Bernadette and that Vic just hit and gave another bruise to (up to 2 bruises now). Not far away is Visor (also on 2 bruises), a new Legion duplicate and what appears to be the original Legion.

Sure, you can get Baz and get right over near Lawrence. Both the large Communion drones fail their reflex saves. But they both make their Fort saves against the stun. @Huckleberry Rot is up, but I would like to get the three toughness save for last round first.

GM Daniel' telekinetic push was just enough to bring the robot's legs together as Archer's arrows continued to wrap around, binding the tightly in the cables, at least for the moment. Thrown off balance and unable to easily spread its legs apart to regain its footing, the massive robot fell over to one side. Its legs finally snapped the cables loose as it fell, but it was already too late as it crashed to the ground with a loud THUD, sending dust and chunks of pavement flying in all directions. "Good work." Archer said to Daniel before calling out loudly. "Brusier, Red, tear that damn thing’s head off. Everyone else, let's get rid of the rest of these things so we can take moment to get clear and come up with a plan to take the fight to them instead of reacting." El Gato bound out form the cover she had taken, coming up behind the Omegadrone that was trying to stab Neko. In one swift motion, the cat-woman tore at the drone's throat, flesh and cables tearing away as the black liquid spilled out and the drone toppled to the ground. Up in the air, Kismet turned towards the Omegadrone that had shot her and fired a burst from her assault rifle. Once again the bullets tore through the drone’s armor, causing it to jerk back before dropping out of the sky lifeless.

Okay, that brings up: Round Four 28 El Gato (Unharmed) 21 Kismet (Unharmed) 18 Cerebral 3 HP (Unharmed) 16 Starshine 4 HP (Unharmed) 15 Multi-Girl 4 HP (Unharmed) 15 Multi-Girl Duplicate (injured, bruised, prone) 15 La Puma Negra 3 HP (Unharmed) 15 Bruiser (Unharmed) 12 Neko 2 HP (Unharmed) 12 Copper Knight (Unharmed) 11 Jotunn 4 HP (injured, bruised) 9 Terminus Probot (Injured 2, prone) 6 Network (Unharmed) 6 Omegadrones (15 attacking over 500’ away, caught in Neko’s obscure, 5 fighting group: 3 on ground (one fighting Jotunn), 2 airborne) 4 Archer (Unharmed) 4 Cerebellum (Unharmed) El Gato will Take 10 to attack the Omegadrone after Neko: it fails the save and goes down. Kismet will shot the one that just shot her: again with the -2/+2 power attack and taking 10 for a DC 24 toughness save: it also fails its save. @Tiffany Korta Starshine is up!

That hits, so +2 to Archer's trip attack: 27 The probot just fails with a 24 So with the help of the TK, the cables of the arrows tightly bind its legs and cause it to fall over!

GM As Owain tore open an entrance to the city’s sewer system, the police still in the area began guiding civilians from nearby buildings down into the tunnels to lead them away from the fighting. Neko meanwhile maintained her illusions that were keeping over a dozen of the Omegadrones distracted a couple blocks away and not attacking her friends or any civilians. Over near the damaged casino, the giant robot that had appeared refocused as it stood back up after the two solid this by Multi-Girl and Bruiser. Looking around, it spotted Bernadette’s duplicate that was still lying on the ground after being shot by one of the Omegadrones. The massive robot lifted up one of its huge feet and brought it down towards the redheaded duplicate. But Bruiser quickly moved over next to her, reaching up to catch the foot and push it to the side, causing the robot to stumble slightly and have to regain its footing. "You okay?" Bruiser asked as he looked down at the duplicate, just noting she was identical to the other redhead. "Oh, you two twins?" Suddenly, there was a crackle of electricity and the smell of ozone in the air as a wide bolt of lightning arched through the air, tearing through three of the Omegadrones before slamming down to the ground and taking on a humanoid form. All three Omegadrones fell from the sky, smoking holes in their chests as the humanoid figure of pure electricity (wearing a black leather jacket) looked at the others "This looks like a fun party. Thanks for saving some of those of us showing up late." Nearby, the Omegadrones that had been after Neko and Owain both followed after them, trying to stab with their pikes. But both of the young heroes managed to dodge aside from the clumsy attacks with relative easy. The two remaining Omegadrones still in the air took aim at new targets. One sent a blast of energy at Archer, who dodged aside as he took aim at the giant robot. The other fired an energy blast at Kismet, striking her in the back. The dark haired woman grunted slightly in pain from the attack, but otherwise seemed unhurt. Archer pulled back the two arrows he had in his bow. "You ready kid?" He asked Daniel, and upon receiving acknowledgement, fired the two arrows at the legs of the giant robot. The arrows shot through the air, cables connecting them to each other. The two arrows passed on either side of the robot’s legs, the cables catching, causing the arrows but turned inward to wrap the cables about both of the robot’s legs.

Okay, need to keep this moving, so will skip Jotunn for now @TheAbsurdist Get me an action/roll when you can, for now you will tie up one Omegadrone. The probot will get its daze removed (HP to Multi-Girl), then attack the Multi-Girl duplicate lying on the ground still, Bruiser will Interpose: 14 That would have hit the duplicate, but won’t hit Bruiser, even with the penalty for his all-out attack. Network will arrive as a lightning bolt and arch through three of the flying Omegadrones with a Power attack (-2 atk/+2 dam), taking 10 to hit them. DC 27 toughness saves: all fail With one Omegadrone tied up with Jotunn, there are four others to handle. On the ground: 1 attacks Neko: 6 miss 1 attacks Copper Knight: 9 miss In the air: 1 attacks Archer: 14 miss 1 attacks Kismet: 25 a hit. DC 22 toughness saves: Kismet passes with a 23 Archer will take his held action to combined with Cerebellum: 20, which is a hit on the giant robot with his trip arrows. @Dracostern Daniel is up to try to make a combined trip attack with his telekinesis, need to roll an 18 on your attack roll to add +2 to Archer's trip attempt.

No, sadly that misses.

Bad roll, Timeout gets a 21 for initiative. He gets a 16 for Stealth

Multi-Girl Paper lands a powerful blow on the trapped Big Horn, who goes limp in Shift’s grasp as he is knocked unconscious. Stormcrow takes down another of the Legion duplicates, while Sureshot struggles in vain against the mesh net he is trapped in, with none of his allies currently able to try to assist him. Bernadette was glad to see Vik back up on her feet and in the fight, was Murine came over to help as well. She and her duplicates again made attacks against all the still active enemies that she could reach. Unfortunately, the three Legions on their feet and Visor all managed to avoid the attacks, but the several of her duplicates did manage to land hits on the three Legion still trying to get back to their feet after the redhead’s last attack. Two were once again dazed, one seemingly barely hanging in the fight. The other appeared hurt, but not out of the fight. "Wow, very heroic, beating on opponents that are down." One of the Legion mockingly stated. She then moved forward to try to attack Stormcrow again, but he was easily able to defect the attack with his own staff. Another Legion leapt off the overturned transport where she had been fighting Shadowborne and moved over towards Paper. However, the timing of her attack was off, and Paper easily ducked under the attack. The Legion facing Multi-Girl, Shadowborne and Ghule managed to take the hit from the latter, taking a slight step back from the hit as she looked at the undead girl. "Taking this a bit personal, aren't you? It's just business." She said before stepped forward and landing another hit on Ghule with her staff. Meanwhile the Legion standing over next to Visor slammed her fist against the armored door of the transport. As she did, another duplicate popped into existence next to her…

Okay, Legion: The unharmed one that was going after Shadowborne will jump down and attack Paper: missing with a 13 The unharmed one that was fighting Stormcrow will stay after him: missing with a 14 The one fighting Multi-Girl, Shadowborne and Ghule will attack Ghule again: 21, so a DC 23 toughness save for Ghule (she is at -2 due to prior injuries): @Lone_Star One of the Legion near Stormcrow will get back to her feet and take the Dodge Action. The other two Legion (still lying on the ground), will clear their daze. The Legion standing near Visor will hit her hand up against the armored door of the transport, and a new duplicate pops into existence. @Heritage Shift is up!

Okay, Multi-Girl is going to use her AOE attack once more. Boo, missing with a 11. She will use her last HP to reroll: absolute worst possible, a 17 (after the +10) Still, hits the three Legion Duplicates that were still prone, so DC 27 toughness saves for them at least: All three already have 2 bruises so: 18, 25, 17, so one bruised and dazed, another bruised, the last staggered and dazed.

That duplicate gets a 24, so picks up another bruise.

Timeout Lawrence frowned slightly as Aquaria confirmed the expectation that they make some demonstration of "strength" and most of his fellow students used their powers in rather impressive ways (from lifting a Deep One to lifting the entire whale carcass). As the blond teen had previously told several of his friends earlier in the year, his powers were not particularly flashy, which made it rather difficult to put on a display of strength. Of course, he could try to freeze one or two of the Deep One's in time, but that could far more easily be taken as an attack than simply lifting one with telekinesis for a few moments, so it did not seem a viable option. So, the teen instead opened up his mind to the cosmic senses he had recently unlocked. As he did so, his eyes went completely blue as they glowed with cosmic energy. Reaching out with those senses, the blond teen was able to sense the approach of a vessel he recognized to be Atlantean. While he was not alarmed by the approaching vessel, it still seemed something that their guide should probably be made aware of. "Ms. Innsmouth," Lawrence stated as he moved up near her and turned in the direction he sense the vessel to be approaching from, "there is an Atlantean vessel headed this way."

Multi-Girl Bernadette gave a small smirk at Charlie’s response to Vik's suggestion of some sparring. "Poor dear." She replied with a grin. "Luckily, I do like your face tha way it is." She then added as she stood back up. The redhead walked over towards the open space in the gym that was set up with mats for sparing or tumbling. Opening a cabinet along the wall, she took out some padded MMA style gloves for herself as she walked out onto the mats. "So, we take it light an’ body blows only?" She asked, looking back at the other two.

Yeah, even with +4 for attacking a prone target, that is a miss. @Lone_Star Ghule is up, she needs to stand up first, but there is a Legion duplicate right next to her that Multi-Girl is fighting.

Timeout Star Knight had flow over near Rot, taking out several of the insect drones attacking the teen and otherwise drawing the attention of the remaining ones as more flew over to join in attacking the armored heroine. Over towards the center of the park, the insect drone that had survived Blue Bolts last attack was joined by two others as they flew after the small alien heroine, but weaving side to side on her board, she was able to avoid the attacks from all three of the fast-moving drones. Then there was a flash of light to the eastern side of the park, as nine new silvery figures appeared. Glancing back while struggling to hold Paradigm, Michael recognized a few of the Praetorians he had recently met, Moon-Moth and Traveller. Like Paradigm, all of the Praetorians were coated in silvery Computronium, converted to Communion drones. Lawrence recognized them as well, along with several of the others. Lawrence glanced over at the teenage version of his mother. "It is the one behind all of this." He replied before looking over to Mizuki. "I do realize that. But we must make that thing react to us. It is powerful, but unlike Quirk not without limits. That is why it had to take the singularity, to provide it the power to do all this," he generally gestured around them, "and the timeline it has our friends in. It needed that vast amount of power to fuel this and set events in motion. If we can make it react to things it did not plan for, then we can weaken it, and have a chance of getting out of this and helping our friends." The blond teen winces slightly as he sees Baz knocked out of a tree by two hulking Communion drones, but then focuses over towards where Michael and Parker where just managing to hold Paradigm. "I have an idea, and if it works, not only will it remove threats, but give us allies as well. And I am going to start with the biggest threat." He was then gone in a blur of temporal energy, seeming to quickly cross the distance to where Paradigm was being restrained. As Lawrence appeared next to Michael and Parker, his eyes had gone completely blue and crackled with energy as he focused on the Praetorian leader. Reaching out towards her, Lawrence touched either side of her face as temporal energy washed over Paradigm. She let out an ear-piercing electrical shriek like the other Communion drones made as the temporal energy went over her, and in a sudden surge of strength, pulled herself free from Michael and Parker’s grasp and Lawrence took a few steps back. But even as she did, the electronic screech change to a normal scream. "Aaaaahhhh!" As the last of the temporal energy dissipated, the figure near the three teenage boys was no longer coated in silvery Computronium, but once again flesh and blood. Paradigm was once again as Michael had seen her less than a week ago. Her costume was primarily white, with black diamond patterns and golden accents, while her long cape was once again black. Her skin was its normal orange, and her long hair a mix of black and purple. "Paradigm." Lawrence said, a hopeful expression on his face. The restored Praetorian focused on the blond teen, an uncertain look on her face. "Do I know you?" She said in heavily accented English, seemingly surprised at using and understanding the language. "Not in this time, or this place, but I know you." Lawrence responded. "You are Amara Val-Ren, praetor of the Delaztri Empire. You swore an oath to defend those in need. This city, this world, are under attack from the Communion. They need your help, my friends and I, need your help." "The Communion." Paradigm stated, a cold anger in her voice as she looked about the once tranquil park which had become a battlefield, her yellow eyes flaring with energy. "I will fight to the last to stop the Communion." She added before her gaze fell onto the recently arrived other Praetorians. "Are you able to restore my fellow Praetorians?" "I will do what I can." Lawrence replied. "I don't think I have the time to try one at a time, but I think I can try something different that could work on a larger scale."

Okay, with Baz clearing his daze there are other things to deal with. First, on count 30, more threats appear, as a Moon-Moth Drone teleports down with 8 other Praetorians (all turned to Communion Drones). I will add them to the initiative order as needed (many will be engaging the Freedom League). But, will give everyone another HP for the added threats. Star Knight moves over near Rot to assist her, taking down several of the insect drones and otherwise drawing the attention of the others. Two more insect drones join the one that survived Blue Bolt's attack and they chase her, but all miss Lawrence is going to power stunt off his main array, looking to reverse time and undo Paradigm being converted to a Communion Drone: Transform 13 (3 pt per rank (Communion drone to original state); Extras: Permanent (+2); Alt Save: Will (0); Flaw: Touch Range) [52/58 PP] He will then move over to Paradigm (who he needs only a 6 to hit currently): hitting DC 23 Will save vs the transform: the Paradigm Drone fails with a 15! As she transforms back to her normal state, I will have her throw off Michael and Parker (but no HP for this, as not a set back) Throwing up an updated order: Round Three 38 Velocity (unharmed) 32 Gamma Buzz 4 HP (injured, bruised, dislocated leg, prone) 30 Moon-Moth Drone (unharmed) 25 Insect Drones (many (3 around Blue Bolt); 20 others around the park at the heart of City Center) 24 Timeout 5 HP (unharmed) 21 Blue Bolt 4 HP (unharmed) 21 Rot 4 HP (unharmed) 20 Golden Star 3 HP (injured, bruised, fatigued) 20 Spaceman 3 HP (injured, bruised) 17 Paradigm (unharmed) 17 Torpedo Lass II 5 HP (unharmed) 15 Drones (many: 5 are within 30’ of Timeout/TL2/Sever; 26 are within 250’ of Timeout/TL2/Sever); other groups further out in area ) 13 Needle Fighters (many) 13 Large Alien Drones (6 (2 currently near Gamma Buzz)) 10 Sever 3 HP (injured, bruised, prone) Then Blue Bolt is up! @Kaede Kimura
