GM The quick action of Michael and Parker managed to pin down the altered Paradigm, who seemed unprepared for such an attack. But even as they did, she was far heavier than someone her size should be, even accounting for having been converted to Computronium. As they did there best to try to hold her, they could already feel her starting to push back, and growing stronger as she did. Michal’s pleas to her seemed to be all but ignored. As Torpedo Lass braced herself for any counterattack by the Communion drone she had attacked, there was blast of energy that streaked by her and blasted the drone off its feet. Daedalus landed next to her and Sever as he turned to face the next closest group of drones, a pair that were a little over sixty feet away. Around the park, other Freedom League members were dealing with groups of the Communion drones, either on the ground or the flying insect drones in the air. Those two drones rushed forward, closing to within a short distance of the three. Throughout the park more of the humanoid drones continued to move forward. Several closed toward Torpedo Lass and Sever, as more of the needle fighters impacted with the ground throughout the park. One landed a short distance from Torpedo Lass and Sever, releasing another four of the humanoid drones. One of the needle fighters slammed down into the ground near the tree Gamma Buzz was currently in, and as the sides open, only two silver colored figures were release. However, these were hulking humanoids, each at least eight feet tall, with thick muscular builds. As they let out the piercing electrical screeching the Communion drones made, they leapt into the air at Gamma Buzz, each delivering a powerful blow to the teen hero. Two more pairs of the large humanoid drones were dropped off by needle fighters landing to the north and south of the center of the park. As more of the humanoid drones closed in towards Torpedo Lass and Sever, there were two faint sonic booms and then a WOOSH of air as Johnny Rocket and the teenage Velocity returned, each taking down a group of drones. The two speedsters skidded to a halt near the group for a moment. "Most of these Communion seem to be focused here." Indicated Velocity, she then paused a moment and added. "Umm, who is the creepy guy in the black robes?"

Okay, Daedalus will fly over and blast the drone threatening TL and Sever and land near them as other drones start closing in. More needle fighters land throughout the park area, deploying more humanoid drones, including three which each deploy two 8 foot tall humanoid alien drones. Two of these are deployed right next to Gamma Buzz and get to attack him: 23 and 26, so two DC 25 toughness saves @Supercape (they are still minions, so luckily no critical hit). Chatting with Thunder, Sever is going to use his turn to clear his daze, which means: Round Three 38 Velocity (unharmed) 32 Gamma Buzz 3 HP (unharmed) 25 Insect Drones (many (1 around Baz/Blue Bolt); (5 near Rot); 30 others around the park at the heart of City Center) 24 Timeout 5 HP (unharmed) 21 Blue Bolt 3 HP (unharmed) 21 Rot 3 HP (unharmed) 20 Golden Star 2 HP (unharmed) 20 Spaceman 2 HP (injured, bruised) 17 Paradigm Drone (unharmed, bound and helpless) 17 Torpedo Lass II 4 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 park) 13 Needle Fighters (many) 13 Large Alien Drones (6 (2 currently in melee with Gamma Buzz)) 10 Sever 2 HP (injured, bruised, prone) Velocity and Johnny Rocket return to the area, each taking down a group of 4 of the humanoid drones that were closing in on Timeout/TL2/Sever and Daedalus. That will bring up Gamma Buzz (depending on the results of his toughness save) @Supercape

Timeout Lawrence grinned as Rev gave him a big hug, not seeming to mind the oil and grease she got onto his clothes as he gave her a quick hug in return. The blond teen gave her a grin as she mentioned how much taller he was. "Just a result of the normal passage of time, no manipulations or the like." He replied. When Rev asked about Mizuki, if Lawrence was embarrassed, he did not show it, his grin widening a bit as Mizuki came over and answered Rev's question. "Rev, this is Mizuki." Lawrence replied. "She is at Claremont with me. And she has heard the full story of our little misadventure to CoVic Station." At the discussion about electric and gas-powered cars, the teen remained silent. While he was rather familiar with the differences between them, he had not come out here for a debate on the subject. Instead, he just gave Rev a smile. "Well, my mom has never really been too into cars, for reasons I am sure you can guess. She really only has any to keep up appearances." "Anyway, when she learned you had returned to town, she let me know and told me to bring by the BMW for a checkup, which gave me a good excuse to come and say hi." He stated, gesturing with his thumb to the electric BWM SUV parked in front of the garage.

Multi-Girl gets a 26

Okay, with the misses sorted, Timeout will again use his Paralyze AOE, moving if he has to so he can hit all hostiles in the room in the 250' area. He gets a 19 on the attack roll, DC 20 Will save it that fails.

The duplicate only gets an 18, so picks up a bruise. Bernadette will move back to attack one of the ninja backstage. Would she be able to Take 10 to hit (which would result in an 18), if so, DC 27 toughness save.

The first one (with three bruises) rolls a 7 with a nat 1, so she is out, and disappears. The other gets a 23, so another bruise and dazed. @Kaede Kimura Shadowborne is up!

The communion drone just makes its toughness save. As I said in chat, I do not think TL can reach Paradigm in a move action (she is over 350' away), and even if she could, a surge would not allow you to do a coup-de-grace, which is a full round action (and you have already attacked and are considering moving). Does TL want to leave Sever there with that drone still on him?

Okay, decided to make a story decision. Seeing as I fiated Paradigm showing up and acting out of turn, I don't think it makes sense for her to get to act again this turn, especially if it basically negates Michael and Parker's heroic efforts. So, Paradigm is still grappled, Torpedo Lass is up! @The Sailor

Timeout Lawrence listened carefully as Neko described what she saw and heard. If he was worried or frightened by the fact that someone was hunting them, the blond teen did not show it, his expression mostly impassive save for a look of concern to hear that Kazra had been injured. When the Senior looked back to him to ask if he could take others with him he gave a small nod. "Simple enough to create a rift through time and space over to there." He stated before disappearing in a temporal blur only to reappear down on the ground once more. "Can you show me the area near where she is? Then I can get us all there. And I can heal Kazra's injuries as well." He started. Once Neko had given him an idea of where she wanted them to go, Lawrence raised one hand and created a temporal portal in the air similar to the one he had used to transport the teens to Fiji last month. Once it was opened, he stepped through, waiting for the others to follow.

Sure, Owain can get that torn open for his action.

GM Suddenly there was a loud yell as a massive figure leapt off of the roof of the damaged casino toward the giant robot. “AAAAAAAHHHHH!” The figure was at least eight feet tall, and far broader than a normal person. Dressed in long black pants (with red pipping running up the ides) and black boots, the enormous man did not wear any shirt. He had on black gloves on his massive hands, which each only seemed to have three thick fingers. His head was somewhat disproportionately smaller than his body, and bald. WHAM The figure delivered a powerful double-handed blow to the torso of the giant robot, causing it to rock back slightly from the force of the impact, which dented a section of the chest plate. Once again, the robot seemed somewhat disoriented as the large man dropped down to the ground near its feet, landing not too far away from Bernadette. "Oh, hello." The newcome said, seeming a bit awkward. "That was a well-placed strike you delivered." He then added, and while still seeming a bit awkward, he was surprisingly well spoken. Across the street, Archer watched the scene unfolding and instead of focusing on one of the many Omegadrones still in the area, he drew out two arrows and ran over near where Daniel had taken cover behind a car. "You have telekinesis like your sister right?" He asked as he nocked both of the arrows at once, some sort of cables linking the two together. "When that thing gets back up, try to trip it, together with these, we might be able to bring it down to the ground where it can be more easily dealt with." He then stood back upright, aiming the two nocked arrows towards the giant robot as he started to draw them back.

The damage bounces off her Impervious. Right now, her array is not optimized for grappling, so she only gets a 44 on her grapple check.

Yes that is correct. @RocketLord Spaceman is up!

Tsunami As the water began to leak down into the basement area where Giang was waiting with Madame Raven and Wrack, the Asian woman skillfully directed the water away from her two comrades, keeping the area around them dry and water free. The water seemed to bend around Giang herself, who soon stepped on top of the water. As Mr. Silk's unconscious form began floating in the pooling water, Giang looked over to the other two. "Are we ready to make our way out? I can use the water to lift Silk out of here?" Once the others indicated they were ready, Giang cleared a path in the water for them to approach the stairs as she silently moved across the surface of the water (not even leaving any ripples to mark her passage) and climbed out of the trapdoor and stepped into nearby shadows. When the other two had made their way up to a dry area cleared for them, Giang had the water below lift Mr. Silk back up through the trapdoor.

Skill Master for a 25 for Tsunami.

Well, once the water starts leaking down, Tsunami will keep it away from her, Madame Raven and Wrack. And when we are ready to head up, will control the water to "lift" Mr. Silk up out of the basement.

Okay, been almost a week, need to keep moving, will say Rot is dazed and spends her turn clearing that (still want those saves when possible). Meanwhile @Poncho Golden Star is up! (forgot to move Spaceman behind him after he delayed last turn).

@RocketLord Actually, per UP, an 11 or better is a miss.

@Huckleberry Huck, tomorrow morning I am going to have to have Rot dazed and spend her turn clearing the daze so we can keep this moving.

GM The brightly colored barrage of high energy particles unleashed by Moon-Moth slammed into the only free Hunter mech, which was already unsteady on its feet after being damaged by Velocity. The impact of the attack knocked the mech a short distance back as it crumpled to the deck, its pilot knocked unconscious. But as the mech fell, one of the doors to the hanger opened as a tall female humanoid entered the hanger. The alien had a four arms, two of which held a staff with both ends glowing with energy. Moon-Moth recognized the new arrival, a Shoon known as Mare, who had been one of the late elder Star Khan's bodyguards when the weakened tyrant had launched his attempt to reforge the Stellar Khanate and take back worlds that had declared independence. The Shoon looked quickly about the hanger and then took a couple running steps before leaping across the hanger to land next to Gaian Knight, as she brought her energy staff down at the prone hero. The blow landed with tremendous force on Gaian Knight’s back as he tried to get back to his feet…

Putting up the updated list: Round Three 67 Velocity 1 HP (bruised, prone) 29 Yass’ir (unharmed, DC 27 toughness save on round 4 (due to secondary effect), prone) 26 Ghost 3 HP (Unharmed) 21 Hounds (3 telekinetic, 1 telepath all BOUND: one telekinetic bruised, staggered; 1 telekinetic Slowed and bruised 2 (round 2), 1 telekinetic bruised 2 and prone; telepaths bruised 2 and prone) 20 Boran Lieutenants (2 in hanger, both BOUND, 1 staggered, bruised and prone (on Vor’an), 1 staggered, bruised and Paralyzed (round 2)) 20 Hunters (5 in hanger,: Bound: 1 staggered, 1 bruised, 1 bruised 2 and slowed (round 2); one (unharmed), 1 bruised and prone) 18 Tal’gar (unharmed) outside bridge 18 Gaian Knight 2 HP (bruise) 17 Tough Aliens (2 outside bridge, prone) 16 Galvanic 3 HP (Unharmed) 14 Justicar Vor’an (Unharmed) 13 Moon-Moth 3 HP (bruised 2) 13 Mare (not prone) 13 Traveller 0 HP (Unharmed) 13 [PLACEHOLDER] 12 [PLACEHOLDER] 10 Artificer 1 HP (Unharmed, prone) 7 Patriot II 2 HP (Unharmed, prone) 6 Waymaker (unharmed) 5 Troopers (0 currently conscious in hanger, 6 in engine room, all prone) @Tiffany Korta Traveller is up!

Okay, another placeholder will be revealed, as a tall, four-armed alien enters the hanger. She will leap over next to Gaian Knight and attack (with +4 for melee as he is prone): 35! for a critical hit! That is DC 31 toughness save for Gaian @Fox

It gets a 17, 10 lower, so its second Staggered condition, which knocks it out! I will let you save that HP as the first attack takes it down.

Okay, then, the duplicate will stay with Summer and the other members of the band, moving them toward safety and readying a melee attack if any ninjas show up. Probably not worth its own separate IC post, so will wait to include it with my other IC post for Multi-Girl.
