Thevshi

As I mentioned, he would either need to move over to one of the four groups that just landed near him, Timeout and TL2. First drone misses the save so is cut down. Second rolls better, but still misses so goes down as well.

Not bothering with a roll for the minion, as the Justicar can Interpose and tank the hit. @Ecalsneerg Galvanic is up!

GM The Boran that had been rushing toward Arificer and Justicar Vor'an had managed to partially avoid being trapped in the sandstone like confinement controlled by Gaian Knight, but still had his legs partially covered in the substance. This slowed the large alien down considerably, but he was still able to close the distance towards the Atlantean, raising a large club to attack. Justicar Vor'an stepped between the two as the club came down, easily deflecting wild attack away with his power staff.

GM When one of the Omegadrones flew down to attack him, Jotunn managed to land a punch as it pulled back its pike to attack, sending the drone flying backwards to crash on the pavement, out of the fight. As the Claremont teenagers and two members of FORCE Ops fought against the newest group of Omegadrones a large, round object came flying towards the boardwalk from the City Center. The massive sphere crashed into the nearby casino, collapsing part of the roof and outer wall with a jarring impact that shook the ground for blocks and sent debris flying in all directions. Moments after the impact, a larger, metallic figure rose up from amongst the debris of the building, a more than three story tall robot. Several round vents in its torso flared bright orange, as its eyes and mouth did as well, the cosmic fires powering the robot visible inside its jaws as its glowing eyes focused on the gathered heroes. El Gato looked up at the massive robot with a hint of fear before she slashed out at the Omegadrone that had attacked her, ripping its throat out with her claws sending the blackish liquid everywhere. She then bounded off to dive behind another parked car. "¿Qué demonios es esa cosa?" She called out to Archer, not really seeming expecting an answer. Up in the air, Kismet reappeared, piloting what could only be described as a skycycle, which she steered over near one of the flying Omegadrones before leveling an assault rifle with one free hand and firing a full burst at the it. The bullets managed to tear through the Omegadrones’ chest plate, causing a spray of the black liquid coursing through the Terminus soldier as the drone reeled back before crashing down to the ground. Guiding the skycycle down lower, Kismet came to a hover not far from Archer. "Brought some reinforcements, hopefully they will be enough to help with that thing." She stated, glancing up at the massive robot standing in the ruins of part of the casino. "Nightrage will try to help as he can, given he is a bit limited due to the daylight."

@Dracostern Iris is up!

Okay, need to keep this moving forward. A new threat arrives at the end of the round, but reinforcements are arriving as well: Round Three 28 El Gato (Unharmed) 21 Kismet (Unharmed) 18 Cerebral 3 HP (Unharmed) 16 Starshine 4 HP (Unharmed) 15 Multi-Girl 3 HP (Unharmed) 15 Multi-Girl Duplicate (injured, bruised, dazed) 15 Copper Knight (Unharmed) 15 La Puma Negra 3 HP (Unharmed) 15 Bruiser (Unharmed) 14 Archer (Unharmed) 12 Neko 2 HP (Unharmed) 11 Jotunn 4 HP (injured, bruised) 9 Terminus Probot (Unharmed) 6 Network (Unharmed) 6 Omegadrones (15 attacking over 500’ away, caught in Neko’s obscure, 9 fighting group: 4 on ground, 5 airborne) 4 Cerebellum (Unharmed) The Terminus Probot El Gato will attack the drone on her (taking 10), it misses its toughness save. Kismet will Power Attack -2/+2 and take 10 for a 21 on the Omegadrone (netting +2 more damage for a DC 24 toughness save). The drone also misses its save.

Yeah, that's fine

Yeah, I was going to let Kaede spend a HP to do so, but if you want Stormcrow to spend one instead that is fine as well.

@Thunder King Sever is up

GM As many of the small insect like drones are knocked out of the sky by the teen heroes, or confused by the blinding light from Gamma Buzz and Blue Blot, more of the needle fighters dove down towards the park. Half a dozen crashed into the ground, two in the street to the east, each releasing a swarm of a dozen of the flying insect drones. The other four landed in the grass of the park, spaced out around where Timeout, Torpedo Lass 2, Sever and Daedalus were standing. As the sides peeled back on the vessels, each released four of the humanoid drones, who landed on the grass, turning to face towards the four heroes. Up in the sky, other needle fighters veered away from the ground, chasing after some of the flying heroes in pairs. Two went after Rot, their tips crackling with green energy as they fired blasts of energy at the heroine, one of the blasts striking her. Both Spaceman and Golden Star had a pair of the agile fighters speed towards them and open fire. Golden Star managed to dodge both of the blasts aimed at him, while Spaceman managed to avoid one of the blasts. However, as he did so, he moved right into the path of the other attack, which struck him squarely in the chest. Back over the center of the park, two of the needle fighters chased after Blue Bolt, but the small alien managed to weave and dodge, avoiding the crackling green energy, at least for now.

Okay, the regular drones on the ground will start moving in towards where Timeout, TL2, Sever and Daedalus are currently standing, though the closest are not even 200' away when they finish their moves. A pair of needle fighters will attack Rot: 12 and 26, one miss and one hit. DC 25 toughness save @Huckleberry Another pair go after Spaceman: 30 and 12, a miss, but a Critical Hit! DC 30 toughness save @RocketLord A pair go after Golden Star: 16 and 11, both miss. And finally two go after Blue Bolt: 12 and 12, moth missing as well. Another four needle fighters crash down around where Timeout and the others are, deploying a dozen more of the drones all with 30' of the group. Two more needle fighters land in the street further to the east, each releasing a swarm of a dozne of the flying insect like drones.

XEROX'd by Fox Multi-Girl Spending Multi-Girl’s 5 PP (and making some updates in the fluff): 3 PP to add 1 rank to Duplication (up to 10 ranks): Duplication 10 (PL 10 duplicate with 132PP/150PP; Extras: Heroic; Power Feats: Mental Link, Sacrifice) [32 PP] Spending 2 PP on Feats: Another rank of Luck (up to 2) And Benefit: (Fame – Rock Star) Here are the portions of her sheet that are changed (and her tag needs to be updated that she is PL 10 now):

Okay, time for all the rolls Hounds 8 left: all fail their reflex saves. DC 22 toughness saves: TK: 26, 20, 19 (second two had bruises), so one not hurt (now), the other two get another bruise. Telepaths: 8, 14, 9, 6, 20, so with current injuries, that is four out and one taking another bruise. Boran Lts: One not paralyzed badly misses his reflex save, the paralyzed one auto misses. Toughness saves: 21 and 13, both pick up a bruise, the second is now also dazed. Hunters 8: One actually makes the Reflex check! Toughness saves: 23, 29, 17, 30, 22, 11, 14, Some very resilient mecha there. Last two go out. So five bound one not bound. Tough Aliens 2: 16 and 21, one bound, one only entangled. Bound tough save: 18, he's out. I will just say this deals with all the remaining troopers (there were not that many left). SO, updated Initiative order: Round Three 67 Velocity 1 HP (bruised) 29 Yass’ir (Engine Room: unharmed, DC 27 toughness save on round 4 (due to secondary effect)) 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 (6 in hanger,: Bound: 1 staggered, 1 bruised, 1 bruised 2 and slowed (round 2); one (unharmed), 1 bruised and prone / not bound: 1 staggered,) 18 Tal’gar (unharmed) outside bridge 18 Gaian Knight 2 HP (bruise) 17 Tough Aliens (one entangled, was going toward Artificer/Vor’an; 2 outside bridge) 16 Galvanic 3 HP (Unharmed) 14 Justicar Vor’an (Unharmed) 13 Moon-Moth 3 HP (bruised 2) 13 [PLACEHOLDER] 13 Traveller 0 HP (Unharmed) 13 [PLACEHOLDER] 12 [PLACEHOLDER] 10 Artificer 1 HP (Unharmed) 7 Patriot II 2 HP (Unharmed) 6 Waymaker (unharmed) 5 Troopers (0 currently conscious in hanger)

Multi-Girl Bernadette was caught slightly off guard when Vik suddenly stood up and gave her a big hug. She tensed for a moment, then relaxed and gave Vik a hug back. When the other girl finally let go, the redhead had a tear down one side of her face as well and was surprised to see the tears in Vik’s eyes. "Yer secret is safe with me." The Irish teen replied, managing a slight grin before listening to Vik mention her own experience with what Bernadette was going through. "Well, actually, most o' those I have spoken with since yesterday have actually not tried ta say they know what it's like." Bernadette began. "But, I get what you mean." "It is like a hollow emptiness inside." She then continued, taking a seat on another beach. "When it happened, I wasn' really able ta process it. We were in the middle o' the f@#&in' 1993 Terminus Invasion an' I needed ta keep goin' ta protect my friends an' the younger students that were with us. But now….it isn' quite as bad as it was last night, but it's still there." The redhead wiped away some tears as she went on. "I mean, there is a lot we don' fully understand about my duplicates. What if I have lost part o' me soul? Will I continue ta lose pieces o' it if this happens again? An'…it's not somethin' I make a big deal about, but I’m Catholic, can I really be in God's grace if I am not whole?"

It was the latter (they were attacking the one already damaged).

Timeout Lawrence frowned slightly as Doctor Deviation moved up away from them and unleased some of his experiments to attack them. The villain tried to play on the expectation of their compassion, which was honestly a rather effective strategy, even more so with Parker. Dodging aside one of the experimental soldiers as she closed with him, Lawrence took a step back and glanced around to see where everyone was in the room. "I rather doubt you actually have any concern for the wellbeing of your experiments." He called out to the purple clad villain. "Fortunately, I have means of dealing with them that does not require actually injuring them." With that he extended one hand and a pulse of temporal energy erupted out from the teenager. As was always the case, the temporal energy washed harmlessly around his friends and the woman they had rescued before, while attempting to strike all the experimental soldiers and Doctor Deviation himself.

Timeout will try his Paralyze attack and hit all the soldiers and Doctor D (assuming they are all within 250' of him). But I doubt a 15 is going to do it. (on the off chance it does, DC 20 Will save) Actually, decided to spend a HP to reroll: 23, much better.

@TheAbsurdist The Omegadrone fails its toughness save, so you get it before it attacks you. Get an IC up please.

GM "I realize that." Visor grunted in response to the Legion near him as he stepped away from the Multi-Girl duplicate that had kicked him in the stomach. "But this Star Khan can apparently fly, so unless we do something to deal with that we might not get far." The villain focused on the armored alien, firing one of his energy beams at the young Star Khan. Kinarr turned towards the attack, raising one gauntleted hand that was struck by the blast, which deflected harmlessly away from him, hitting the ground nearby and blasting a sizable hole in the pavement. He then considered Stormcrow and his request to deal with the woman dressed in orange. "A mentat? Indeed a dangerous foe." He replied with a slight nod. He then quickly flew over to Mindfire to take a swing at her, but the redheaded villainess was able to dodge aside as she turned her focus to Kinarr. "Oh, aren't you a cute one. Wouldn't you rather be friends?" She said seductively as her eyes flared with psychic energy and Kinarr's did as well. The young Star Khan gritted his teeth as he fought against Mindfire's attempt to take control of his mind. "Get…out…of…my….mind!" He managed to snarl as he finally shook off the mental attack. Mindfire took a step back away from Star Khan, a look of frustration on her face, mixed with a bit of concern.

Yeah, unless @RocketLord did you want to use one of Stormcrow's HP to make Legion reroll her attack on Shadowborne (as Shadowborne already did a reroll this round and don't think Luck Control allows an additional reroll)

Okay, while waiting for Heri's IC post, will post the OOC for the next group of bad guys and Star Khan Visor will attack Star Khan, hitting with a 25 But the attack glances off Star Khan’s impervious. He will fly over to attack Mindfire, missing with a 16. Mindfire will try to Mind Control Star Khan, with a 28 on her power check Star Khan gets a 30 on his will save and resists!

He rolls almost as badly as he can and only gets a 33, pinned and helpless!

Yes, make your Grapple check @Heritage

Okay, guess I will have Lawrence try to Time Stop the drone, that is a DC 18 Reflex save.

Tsunami "Some distance away?" Giang asked her eyes seemingly distant as she focused on detecting the various pipes flowing with water throughout the building. "I can do that." The young woman then focused on some of the water mains and fire suppression system lines at the far end of the factory. Seizing control of the water inside, Giang caused it to strain against the valves holding it in check from flowing freely through various spigots and sprinklers. She was able to cause the water pressure to build up to such a degree that the water soon forced its way through the check valves, warping them and then began to erupt freely from the now unblocked openings. In moments, there were several different significant water leaks at various points along the far end of the factory, each on different water lines. "There, have gotten things started. It may take a few moments before anyone realizes what is wrong." She stated, looking to see that Wrack was ready to start moving.
