Dr Archeville Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Quick post, as I'm on my way out from work: I was hung up on two things: Quinn saying "everyone in the area" got hit, and not having fully read the IC post he made, and seeing that he is pushing (heh) for some character development (a Very good Thing!). Now fully aware of all that's going on, I see he was indeed right (though I still stand by the "use more KB, not Trip" construction). Which means DH was not hit and thus not injured + stunned. Everybody wins! (In the future, though, if you're not exactly copy/pasting something, then make sure you're not just copy/pasting. Clarity is key in communicating, and communication is what this site is built on.) Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Good to hear. It's still Dead Head's turn to act, but that can wait until you get back. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 DH had attacked Nazi #2, and he's out. So, new target. Free/No Action: Regeneration knocks off 1 Injury, he's now at 'full health.' Standard Action: Charge Nazi #3 (the stunned one) Charging (+2 Attack, -2 Defense), All-Out Attack (+2 Attack, -2 Defense), Power Attack (-5 Attack, +5 Damage), Sneak Attack due to flat-footed target. DC 30 Toughness (1d20+11=22) If he falls, then Move Action to speed-shamble over to the last standing Naz-Ghoul. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 That hits, so Nazi needs to make a DC30 Toughness... and doesn't, but just misses the 15 that would knock him out. He is, however, Staggered. Nazi 1: 24, Bruised x1, 0 HP Cannonade: 23, Bruised x2, 1 HP Push: 20, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head: 17, Unharmed, 0 HP Ironclad: 16, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 10, Unharmed, 0 HP Nazi 3: 8, Bruised x2, Stunned, Staggered, 0 HP Ironclad is up next.

Raveled Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ironclad's attack. Same format as last time. Full Power Attack, full All-Out Attack (1d20+9=19) Hm. Does that even hit? Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Is the attack aimed at Nazi 1 or Nazi 3? Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Then it most certainly hits, as the guy is Stunned off his ass. The DC on it is 29 with the full Power Attack, and he gets a 21. He's still Stunned and takes another Bruised, but he's not yet out. Nazi 1: 24, Bruised x1, 0 HP Cannonade: 23, Bruised x2, 1 HP Push: 20, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head: 17, Unharmed, 0 HP Ironclad: 16, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 10, Unharmed, 0 HP Nazi 3: 8, Bruised x3, Stunned, Staggered, 0 HP And we are now at the top of the round once more. Nazi 1 swings at Cannonade, scoring a hit (thank God he didn't have Improved Critical 2). Cannonade needs to make a Toughness save of DC25... and fails it by 8, Bruising him once more and Stunning him. Nazi 1: 24, Bruised x1, 0 HP Cannonade: 23, Bruised x3, Stunned, 1 HP Push: 20, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head: 17, Unharmed, 0 HP Ironclad: 16, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 10, Unharmed, 0 HP Nazi 3: 8, Bruised x3, Stunned, Staggered, 0 HP Push is up next.

trollthumper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 If anyone wants to make a Knowledge (current events) roll regarding the boneheads' ranting, go ahead. Cannonade's not so quick on the uptake... Link to comment
Raveled Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Int check for Ironclad (1d20+5=6) Hey, she's closed up in her lab all day, okay? Link to comment
Quinn Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 This is the second time Push is having to save your butt, Cannonade! Charging (+2 Attack, -2 Defense), All Out Attack (+5 Attack, -5 Defense), Power Attack (+5 Damage, -5 Attack), Overall +2 Attack, -7 Defense, +5 Damage, DC 32 Toughness save. (1d20+10=12) Or not. Extra Effort reroll, and I'll take the Fatigued with a grin. Charging (+2 Attack, -2 Defense), All Out Attack (+5 Attack, -5 Defense), Power Attack (+5 Damage, -5 Attack), Overall +2 Attack, -7 Defense, +5 Damage, DC 32 Toughness save. (1d20+10=22) Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 And boom goes the dynamite. Cannonade: 23, Bruised x3, Stunned, 1 HP Push: 20, Unharmed, Fatigued, 0 HP Dead Head: 17, Unharmed, 0 HP Ironclad: 16, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 10, Unharmed, 0 HP Nazi 3: 8, Bruised x3, Stunned, Staggered, 0 HP Dead Head is up next.

Dr Archeville Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Got an idea, but it may be too much a stretch for TT's liking. He's GM here, so he's free to veto it. Dead Head's going to try to de-necromancy-fy the staggered Nazi-Ghoul-Thing he's standing next to, hoping that doing so will make him more pliant to our requests. Lacking any sort of Magic Array, I'll be stunting it off the closest thing I can think of: his Anatomic Separation [3PP], using the pervasive necromantic energy he's got coursing through him (and under his mental control) which lets him control separated bits of himself to reach out, sync up to the necromantic energy coursing through the Nazi-Ghoul-Thing, and remove it. (TT said these guys are in fact alive, but heavily necromancy'd, like a person possessed by a demon.) Yes, this is probably going to hurt. Free Action: Extra Effort to stunt Nullify 12 (all Necromantic effects at once; Extra: Duration [Concentration]; Flaws: Action [Full Round], Distracting, Side-Effect 2 [Mental Damage], Tiring) [cost 4 ranks/1pp, 3pp total] Side Effect: Mental Damage 3 (DC 18) Full Round: Nullify Nullify check: Nullify check (1d20+12=31) Will save vs. Damage: Will save vs. Mental Damage, DC 18 (1d20+6=16) fails by 2, takes an injury. And he's exhausted, having suffered 2 fatigue conditions (one from Extra Effort, one form the Tiring power). Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah, I'll allow that. Third Nazi is de-weirded and somewhat slack. I'll make the IC post soon. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 And just to prove it, Cannonade has in fact scared the crap out of that bonehead. Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Push knocks on the door! Fatigued All Out Attack Hammer-blow. Knock, knock! (+5 ATK, -5 Defense, -2 to Attack due to Fatigue) (1d20+11=31) O_O Uh....yeah. DC...32 TOU check for the door...on Knockback 12.... Yeah. Push's luck with buildings holds true. *The sound of a head hitting a desk resonates quite loudly throughout the world* Link to comment
trollthumper Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 And the door goes flying.. .along with several other things. I'll type up an IC counterpart soon, but feel free to take that The Building Jumped Out in Front of Me! Hero Point. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 And now is the time for Initiative. Cannonade rolls a 25. Sorcerer goes on 20. And the Hounds go on 15. How neat and clean! Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Initiative Roll (1d20+8=19) And Push goes right after the sorcerer. Link to comment
Raveled Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ironclad's Initiative (1d20+3=8) <.< >.> Give her some slack! That armor ain't light. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Dead Head's initiative (1d20+2=15) Mutt's initiative (1d20+2=4) Link to comment
trollthumper Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 All right, then. The order goes as such: Cannonade: 25, Bruised x3, 1 HP Sorcerer: 20, Bruised x1, 0 HP Push: 19, Unharmed, Fatigued, 0 HP Hounds (6): 15, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head: 15, Unharmed, Exhausted, 0 HP Ironclad: 8, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 4, Unharmed, 0 HP So Cannonade's up first, and he's going to take advantage of the fact that all the other heroes are somewhat behind him to unleash a Shockwave. Length's 80, width's 80, so that's gonna catch everyone on the other end. Sorcerer makes his save to halve damage, and then makes his Toughness save. Hound 1 makes its Reflex save, fails Toughness and dies. Hound 2 makes its Reflex save, fails Toughness utterly and dies. Hound 3 makes its Reflex save, fails its Toughness save and dies. Hound 4 fails its Reflex save, makes its Toughness save. Hound 5 fails its Reflex save, fails its Toughness save and dies. Hound 6 makes its Reflex save, but fails its Toughness save and dies. The Sorcerer responds to the death of his hounds with a blast of pure ice right at Cannonade. The blast hits, and Cannonade must make a DC27 Toughness save. And thank God, that happens. So, here's where we stand... Cannonade: 25, Bruised x3, 1 HP Sorcerer: 20, Bruised x1, 0 HP Push: 19, Unharmed, Fatigued, 0 HP Hounds (1): 15, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head: 15, Unharmed, Exhausted, 0 HP Ironclad: 8, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 4, Unharmed, 0 HP Push goes up next.

Quinn Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Kinetic Blast! (-2 due to Fatigue) (1d20+6=14) to hit the Cultist, saving that Hero Point for an emergency. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 And it misses. The Hound attacks instead, lunging for Push. And it hits, but does not pierce Impervious. Here's where we are: Cannonade: 25, Bruised x3, 1 HP Sorcerer: 20, Bruised x1, 0 HP Push: 19, Unharmed, Fatigued, 0 HP Hounds (1): 15, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head: 15, Unharmed, Exhausted, 0 HP Ironclad: 8, Unharmed, 2 HP Mutt: 4, Unharmed, 0 HP Dead Head is up next.

Dr Archeville Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Dead Head is still holding the necrotic powers from that Nazi-Ghoul (since his Nullify was a Concentration duration deal), so he has to devote a standard action each round to hold it, and if he's jostled will need to make a Concentration check to keep it. (Why's he still holding it? B/c he's not sure when the cops'd get there to put the Nazi-Ghoul safely behind bars.) DH is exhausted, so he can't run or charge, moves at half normal speed, is at -3 attack and defense and -6 to Str and Dex. At such a reduced ability to deal damage, he's falling back on his standard tactic: setting himself to interpose (for any ally within his movement rate, which at the moment is 50 feet). He's partially hoping that the Sorcerer will see him holding the Nazi-Ghoul's mojo and target him directly anyway in an attempt to disrupt it and force DH to let it go. And that by now the cops have that Nazi-Ghoul well secured. IC post coming up. Link to comment
