Low Places (OOC)

[Moira Morley]

Damage has to meet or beat the impervious. He's only protected if it's 90 feet :P

[Cyroa]

I was figuring they'd all be lowered to the ground by Scarab as DS brought the roof down (or whoever) and then inits. But whatever woks.

[Hellbound]

Plus his regeneration should take care of the damage as long as he doesn't manage to break anything. But that wasn't the question -- right now he's being held in the grip of a gravity-bending, telekentic-type force. He can't exactly open the door and jump out like it was a chopper.

Until Dark Star (oops... Scarab. Not DS. My bad), actually drops him, I think Hellbound's stuck hanging in mid-air.

[Ecalsneerg]

Well, at least Scarab is next up after us, so we won't have to wait long, eh?

[Avenger Assembled]

All right, so our initiative order (helpfully provided by Ecalsneerg) is

Hellbound - Init 25 (goes first) - 1 HP

Arrowhawk - Init 25- - 2 HP

Scarab - Init 22 - 1 HP

Wesley - Init 20 - 3 HP

Sixtus - Init 18 - 3 VP

Belphegor - Init 17 (goes first) - 1 HP

Rochambeau - Init 17- 1 VP

Moira - Init 15 - 1 HP

Avenger - Init 11 - 1 HP

Orloff - Init 7 - 1 VP

Dark Star - Init 4 - 2 HP

I'm just going to house-rule that our telekinetics are kind enough to deposit everyone on the ground. (In badass slo-mo.) So Hellbound, you're up.

[Ecalsneerg]

I call dibs on the vampire.

[Hellbound]

Hellbound's attack roll to grab the staff:

1d20+10=16

And just in case a grapple check is called for:

1d20+19=21

[Ecalsneerg]

I'm using the Trick function of Bluff to make the vampire do something unwise, i.e. attack me rather than Hellbound. It's a move action, so the bonus is low, but hey. Worth a shot.

My arrow is piercing, so lethal damage. :shock:

[N/A]

Round One: The Scarab

:arrow: Free Action to maintain Flight.

:arrow: Free Action to maintain Force Field.

:arrow: Free Action to switch Array from Telekinesis to Mental Blast.

:arrow: Full Action to attack Sister Sixtus with Mental Blast (nonlethal psychosomatic Damage).

Sixtus must make a DC26 Will Save.

I choose not to use the Subtle feat this time.

[Sandman XI]

to hit Belphegor (DC 23 Fort vs Emotion Control [despair]) (1d20+6=19)

[Avenger Assembled]

Ladies and gentlemen,

What has just happened was a Strike 12 (Burst Area, Alt Save: Fortitude). I need a Reflex save for half-effect (or less, depending on your Evasion). A dozen people just died in agony in front of you. Also, I need Notice and Arcane Lore checks from everyone who has them. Belphegor, I believe you're up.

[N/A]

Reflex Save: 12.

Fortitude Save: 22. I'll take it. Could've been a lot worse.

The Scarab is Bruised and Stunned.

Concentration checks to maintain powers:

Flight: DC13. She can't fail.

Force Field: DC22. She gets a 32.

Notice check: 34.

The Scarab will burn her lone Hero Point on Beginners Luck, for +5 to Knowledge (Arcane Lore). That gives her a total bonus of +9.

Knowledge (Arcane Lore) check: 28

[Sandman XI]

Reflex and Notice, respectively (1d20+10=11, 1d20+10=16)

Fort Save vs DOOM (1d20+15=16)

Using an HP, minimum 25 passes the Fort save.

[N/A]

Using an HP, minimum 25 passes the Fort save.

No it doesn't. It's a rank 12 Fortitude Damage effect. That's DC27.

[Ecalsneerg]

DC 22 Reflex save (1d20+8=15)

Had to use a HP, so...

Dc 22 Reflex save (1d20+8=16) 26 with the +10 for rolling an 8, and evasion so dodged!

Arrowhawk ducks behind the altar *facepalm*

Notice 28, Skill Mastery

[Avenger Assembled]

Fixed.

[Sandman XI]

Shaen is right.

I am wrong.

Fort save (+10 if 10 or lower) (1d20+15=20)

So 30.

[Dr Archeville]

Fort save to resist Knight's Emotion Control/Despair = 23, just makes it!

Reflex save vs. Area Death thing (DC 22) = 6.

Fort save vs. Area Death (DC 27) = 19, fails by 8, so bruised & stunned.

Eh, I'll keep it.

He has no ranks in Knowledge/Arcane Lore, nor does he have Eidetic Memory or Jack of All Trades, so the best he can get is a 15 (basic answers). But he fails with a 9.

Notice check = 24

[Moira Morley]

No way I'm passing the reflex

Fort and Notice (1d20+13=26, 1d20=5)

My soul, it burns a tiny bit.

[Cyroa]

Reflex: Not even close! Reflex Save! (1d20+3=8)

Fort: Fortitude save (1d20+4=18)

So (according to the experts!), I'm bruised and stunned. I'll burn one of my HPs to remove Stunned!

And notice: Notice (1d20+7=26)

Though I've got no knowledge on this, I roll...badly. Knowledge: Arcane roll (of which I have none) (1d20=7)

[Moira Morley]

charging attack and grapple (1d20+9=24, 1d20+20=21)

[Avenger Assembled]

That is a DC 22 Toughness save for Belphegor, taking his Bruised into account.

[Dr Archeville]

My torso! My precious torso!

That'd be a 10, failing by 12. Which would stagger and stun him.

No. I'm not going down like that. Not by Avenger's hands.

VP to re-roll. Got a 22, much better.

[Dr Archeville]

Toughness vs. Dark Star's Blast 12 (DC 27) = 11. Which fails by 16.

Which knocks him unconscious.

And knocks him back. Damage 12 - Knockback 3 = 9 = 500 feet.

[Avenger Assembled]

All right.

Everyone gets an HP for this unfortunate setback.

Dark Star, you get 2 HP. On a related note, Belphegor may wake up on his initiative in this turn.

Arrowhawk, you get 2 HP. Also, make a DC 26 Toughness save.

The room is currently in complete magical darkness, providing total concealment except against people who can see in darkness for one reason or another.
