The Trial of Captain Knievel! [OOC]

[Warmonger]

before I forget will be taking 1pp out of instant up (after I get up of course) and 1pp out of all out attack will put them into Evasion2. Wont stop the what happens with the explosion but will help if I have to eat any more gravity fields.

[Cyroa]

I don't think I need to roll given it's a rocket launcher (ie physical) but could a ref let me know?

[Geez3r]

If I'm more than 30 ft away from the center, my Impervious will take it.

[Avenger Assembled]

You don't need to roll, Dark Star.

Warmonger, quick question of clarification. Are you shooting your weapon at Dark Star directly, or setting it to explode near him?

[Warmonger]

Well I'm really trying to get as many in the blast as possible. I jsut had mental image of DS and Scarab right on top of malice. I am setting it off in the area sort of. So It is more like I'm a triggering it to be near him since it is a general area.

[Avenger Assembled]

Hmm, well, that makes sense. And it keeps you from shooting Dark Star, having the rocket go through him, and accidentally blowing up the courthouse.

OK, let's see those Reflex saves from everyone who isn't protected against the blast. (Malice, I'll split the difference and say that the rocks on you neither hinder nor help you; have an VP for getting blasted by your chum. Also, consider asking for a refund. )

[Geez3r]

Alright, reflex saves, my favorite.

Reflex save vs Ronin's Rocket DC ~20 (1d20+3=12) Unsurprisingly, I don't dodge it.

Toughness save vs Ronin's Rocket DC ~25 (1d20+12=14) I hate you so much. Okay, that fails by 11.

If I'm within 10ft of the center of the blast - Staggered and Stunned

11ft-20ft - Staggered and Stunned

21ft-30ft - Bruised and Stunned

31+ ft - Impervious stops the attack.

Which is it chief? I need to know if I get to horde my VP for a few more turns.

AA says 20, which means: Toughness save vs Ronin's Rocket DC ~25 - Villain Point Reroll (1d20+12=23) I hate you so much. Fail by 1. 90% chance to take no damage, and I get the 10%.

*grumbles fruitlessly about the injustice of it all* :)

[N/A]

Reflex Save (DC20): 12. Failure!

Toughness Save (DC25): 8.

I'll spend my last Hero Point for a re-roll.

Toughness Save (DC25): 22 (the HP makes the 5 a 15).

The Scarab takes a 4th Bruise.

[Avenger Assembled]

OK, I think that's everybody. Next up is Captain "Hey, Isn't This a Violation of my Civil Liberties?" Knievel. ;)

[quotemyname]

and que a deadpool-esque shattering of the fourth wall... kinda...

Who's next?

[Avenger Assembled]

Been a busy week. Dark Star is up, followed by Arrowhawk.

[Avenger Assembled]

Let's see that recovery check, Arrowhawk.

[Ecalsneerg]

Total Healing > You (1d20+17=29)

... yeah, he's pretty much healed up.

Ok, pre-Explosion and various updates, I had +10 to Acrobatics. DC 20 Instant Up (1d20+10=27)

Move action... can I take cover behind rubble? If not, I'll edit.

Standard acting: DISTRACTING AUTOFIRE BEATDOWN ON RONIN! Power Attack by 2 for a DC 23 Autofire attack, +1 per 2 I hit by, up to a maximum of +3 (1d20+14=20) Or not.

[N/A]

The Scarab will take a:

• [*:x7jjsbrf]Free Action to maintain Flight
  [*:x7jjsbrf]Free Action to maintain Force Field
  [*:x7jjsbrf]Free Action to reconfigure her Array
  [*:x7jjsbrf]Free Action to activate Total Concealment to all senses (since she just disappeared more or less in view of the villains, they can each make a DC20 Will Save to pierce the Phantasm)
  [*:x7jjsbrf]a Move Action to stand up
  [*:x7jjsbrf]a Move Action to fly up out of the hole, hovering at a point about 30 feet in the air and roughly equidistant to Malice and Ronin.

[angrydurf]

Am I good to go?

I'll go ahead and get the OOC out of the way for now.

Distract Bluff check for distract (1d20+22=37)

[Avenger Assembled]

Let's see that Tou save, Warmonger.

[quotemyname]

I'll go ahead and get the OOC out of the way for now.

Ditto.

Still can't make that. Even on a 20. Though my total bonus is up to a +12 sense motive now due to repeated uses of bluff. When I am able to act I will make an IC post about this.

[N/A]

That's 3 rounds in a row that Ace has kept Knieval Distracted.

Avenger, have you considered just handing Ace a Hero Point and Fiating to say "No more Distract against CapK this battle?"

[Warmonger]

1d20+10=30

There we go.

[Avenger Assembled]

I believe it's time for Malice to show that horrible space ghosts are no match for All-American Science. ;)

[Warmonger]

That's 3 rounds in a row that Ace has kept Knieval Distracted.

Avenger, have you considered just handing Ace a Hero Point and Fiating to say "No more Distract against CapK this battle?"

Yeah it does seem rather unsporting.

[Avenger Assembled]

I'd have thought the sporting thing to do would be go rescue your colleague in villainy, Warmonger.

Quote, I'll let you have an HP for the indignity of it all. Hopefully your putative allies will eventually come through for you and tear themselves away from the gun-measuring contest. If not, I'll see what I can do in later rounds. :D

[quotemyname]

Fine by me. That puts me at what, 4VPs? again?

Also, Please let me know when I should drop an IC post to respond to Ace.

Note to self: Put points into SKILLS!!!

[Geez3r]

Alright, let's get that Will save out of the way first.

Will save to break Scarab Concealment DC 20 (1d20+10=13)

Alright, let's see if I can kill 3 birds with 1 stone here.

Move Action - Stand up

Free Action - Switch to Ground Pounder Mode

Free Action - Power Stunt the following, and I'll hold onto my last HP so I'll be fatigued at the start of my next turn

Damage 12 Extras: General Area Burst PF: Affects Insubstantial 2, Knockback 9, Progression 1 (120ft radius)

Standard Action - Ka-Boom

Should be large enough to hit DS, Arrowhawk, Scarab, and blow a chunk out of the court house. Others may be hit, both those are my intended targets.

[Avenger Assembled]

Let's see those Reflex saves, gentlemen. This effect is going to be large enough to include everybody in front of the courthouse, so that's _everyone_ out front except Malice making the DC 22 Reflex save followed by the DC 27/21 Toughness save. Malice is going to inflict maximum knockback on anyone stunned by his attack.

This is also going to do some pretty significant damage to the surrounding scenery, :shock: though I'm willing to say the fight's been ongoing long enough for the civilians to have fled the area. The street is not so wide that this won't blow the front off the library and blast an even bigger crater in the middle of the street.
