Dr Archeville Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm (mostly) here. Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Alright, for a refresher: Ronin - Unharmed - VP x3 Helicopters (3) Belphegor - Unharmed - VP x3 Malice - Unharmed - VP x5 Captain Knievel - Unharmed - VP x5 Tanks (5) Battalions (2) War Mechs (2) Vestige was at the top of the order, but I've got enough work with all the other stuff to worry about NPC-ing him so unless anyone has any objections, I'm just going to write him out. The sight before you is quite possibly the most awe-inspiring display you have ever seen in your entire life. A massive canyon is carved into the landscape, and the facility is built right into it. To say that the architecture is advanced would be an understatement. Any movies or televison shows you've seen about the city of the future all pale in comparison to this. Everything looks sleek and perfectly designed as if this canyon had been carved for the soul purpose of containing this complex, and a little voice inside of your head tells you it might just have been. Some of the central buildings may very well be a mile in hieght. Massive monorail tracks cover the entire area, moving massive amounts of materials from one section of the complex to the other. Unfortunately for you, you don't have the luxury of taking in the sights, as most everyone down there is doing their level best to give you a bad case of the very dead; a task which they very well succeed in. The former river basin looks like it's about to be the scene of a major battle. Two battalions of troops have just been deployed by the Comm Tower, and you guess there are even more on the way from the sounds of those alarms going off. The Comm Tower stands probably a good 350 ft tall and is located about 1000 ft away from Knievel and Ronin's current position. It's probably 40ft in radius. In addition, some of their heavier machinery has already been mobilized. There are 5 tanks and 3 helicopters heading towards your position. The tanks are about 1700 ft out from Knievel and Ronin's position, in a line formation. The are choppers are each going up the center, left flank and right flank respectively. They're about 1200 ft out, putting them near Bel and Vestige. Over at Malice's end, there appear to be 2 dozen helicopters prepping for take off, he's probably got less than a minute to take them out before they get airborne. Also, 2 War-Mechs have been deployed to the area and are moving to engage him. From over the radios you can tell the base itself is readying its defenses, so Surface to Air missles and the like will probably be coming soon. Link to comment
Warmonger Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ok geeze are you up for a massive reflex save? I'm thinking of using my Perception Area Drain Toughness: Alternate Save reflex. Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 What weapon could you have that would do something like this? Remember Equipment is lower costed because of the technological limitations inherent into our current technology level. Link to comment
Warmonger Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Remember when we "upgraded" our characters? That was my upgrade. It is Ronin's ability to spot weakness in any object. Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 <.< >.> <.< ... I knew that. What were the DC's again? Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Don't guess, look up what you've got; copy & paste all the upgrades here (since we've all apparently forgotten them ) Link to comment

quotemyname Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I had a lot of points in different areas: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2305#p45047 Link to comment
Warmonger Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Wasn't guessing. Just a figure of speech. Ok I spoke with Geezer about joining this thread. Ok I want to spend my 23pps thus ( I still haven't spent my 3 pps in the main char yet) Feats: Masterplan Masterful Tactics Add Analyticall to Weakness detection. Finding the Weakness. Ronin's ability to detect weakness allows him to find a weak point in any thing. No matter how minuscule his eyes can detect any aberration and lock on to it. He can even allow his allies to gain the bonus as well though not as effortlessly as he does. Drain Toughness 5 (Extras: Perception +2, Area, Alternate Save: Reflex) AP: Drain Toughness 5 (Extras: Perception +2, No Save +2; Flaws: Self-Only [no one else benefits]) Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Battalion Reflex save vs Ronin Drain Toughness, DC 15 (1d20+4=10, 1d20+4=7) - So both Battalion's Toughness saves are reduced by 5. Tank Reflex save vs Ronin Drain Toughness, DC 15 (1d20 2=15, 1d20 2=17, 1d20 2=15, 1d20 2=8, 1d20 2=7) - The ones on the far left and right have their Toughness reduced by 5, the other are unaffected. Chopper Reflex save vs Ronin Drain Toughness, DC 15 (1d20+7=27, 1d20+7=12, 1d20+7=20) The middle chopper has it's toughness reduced by 3, the others are unaffected. Throw up an IC to reflect this WM.

Dr Archeville Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just realized one (potentially) big problem with taking Avalon out: he's our communications hub! Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well this is the last section where we'll likely be so separated. If we get through this, it won't be much of an issue. We'll probably be within shouting distance of each other for the remainder of the thread, unless someone does something wildly unexpected *glares at the players* But yes, for the time being it is going to be pretty bad. But hey, if it comes up, Villain Points. Villain Points = the reason GM's never have to say sorry Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 We could just use that as the reason he's no longer here. Something goes wrong with the device and he has to spend all his time paying attention to it in order to keep it working, etc... Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 I was just going to have his super scream reverberate off the canyon walls and have him be downed by the echo and then the resulting rockslide. But that works too I guess... perhaps the super scream's reverberations interfere with his magical energies? Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm sorry everyone, I would have sworn it was Knievel's turn. I guess I had the initiative from the last battle still stuck in my head. Chopper Attack rolls vs Bel, CapK, Ronin (in that order); DC 25 toughness save - Autofire (1d20+10=18, 1d20+10=22, 1d20+10=24) It's Auto-fire 1, so +1 DC for every 2 it exceeds your Defense, maximum of +5. Ronin - Unharmed - VP x3 Helicopters (3) - Chopper 2 has -3 toughness penalty Belphegor - Unharmed - VP x3 Malice - Unharmed - VP x5 Captain Knievel - Unharmed - VP x5 Tanks (5) - 1 and 5 have -5 toughness penalty Battalions (2) - Both have -5 toughness penalty War Mechs (2) Bel, you're up as soon as I get IC up.

Dr Archeville Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 This is still the opening round of this combat, right? So we're flat-footed until we get our first action... right? Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 This thread's version of Knievel has +13 defense, and Uncanny dodge. So a 22 Misses! :D Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 In fact, it might be easier if I just use thissheet, Plus the strange device I got that lets me regenerate. (Bruised 3, Unconscious 2, Staggered 5) Link to comment
Geez3r Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Nope, this is more or less one continuous combat. Unless I specifically say you're flat footed against an attack, you're not. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 In that case, 18 misses Bel's Defense of 21! *thinks of what to post next* Link to comment
