trollthumper Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 All right. As AA hit a 15 on his Attack in the eyes of God and the thread-runner, and the Wrackhand effectively has a Defense of 12 while Stunned (+4 Flat-Footed reduced to +2 by the Stun), that triggers the Autofire on his Staff, upping the Toughness save to DC29. Let's see how it does... not well at all. And as it's Staggered, and it would be horribly poetic to have Harrier send this thing screaming back to the Doom Coil for what it did, the Wrackhand is outta here! Combat's over... though other problems might soon present themselves. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 While Nick and Harrier exchange trade information, I'd like everyone to make Notice checks. Nick rolls a 32. Damn. But in the interest of fairness, I'll probably let someone else make the post about it once all the rolls are in. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 All right, everyone who scored over 20... There's someone moving about in the lobby. Link to comment
KnightDisciple Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Gabriel's gonna float to the doors so he can clearly see where all the people outside are. He'll move pretty much right up to the door. Then, I'll spend a Hero Point to stunt Damage 12 (Extras: Area: Shapeable (12 5-foot cubes). So, the effect starts at him, but moves outward from there, however he wants it to. Gabriel is basically next to at least one of the possessed people at the doors, so his first 5-foot cube should hit that person. He'll Shape the attack to hit as many of them as he can (up to 12, I guess) without hitting the cops or any other allies. I'm guessing we'll have 8 left at minimum, so he'll be ready to back Jack up when he rolls out there. EDIT: Oh, yeah. Reflex DC 22 for half, Toughness 27 Save (or 21 if they make the Reflex).

trollthumper Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Seeing as they're not given powers by the Terminus radiation - they're just brainwashed and crazy - and they're effectively PL0 civilians, they can't make either save, so they're out. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 And now it's time to punch the Terminus radiation in the face. This time, we'll be using something based on AA's Necromancer build, with the following changes: -Caps and powers are adjusted to reflect PL15 and its new Growth power. Attack is now +9 (+11 Necromancy), Defense is now +11 (+4 Flat-Footed), Toughness is now +15, Fortitude is now +20, Reflex is now +10, and Will is now +13. -Healing is stripped out of the Necromancy Array in favor of Corrosion 15. -The Terminus Radiation also gains Growth 12 (Innate, Permanent), Additional Limbs 6, and Immunity (interaction effects) 5. Just to make it clear, this is the manifestation of the Terminus radiation that's soaking through the entire building. Hence the Growth. So when Jack and Gabriel come back inside, they'll likely see a horrific mass of tenebrous tentacles in the lobby, ready to be shouted at and sword'd. Roll for Initiative! The Terminus thing gets 13. Nick gets 11. Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (10:43:09) ChatBot: AvengerAssembled rolls 1d20 and gets 7. That's a total of 14 with his Init modifier. Link to comment
KnightDisciple Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Just got a Natural 20 for Init in another thread. Let's see what- Dang it Invisible Castle! A 10? Really? Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 And we're off to the races! Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 6 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 7 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 3 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Unharmed, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Unharmed, 2 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 5 HP Jack is up first.

Gizmo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Alright, so assuming lots of freaky-deaky tentacle type things: Move Action: Auto-31 Taunt w/Skill Mastery Standard Action: Energy Sword Flurry, Power Attack 5. (1d20+15=27) Let me know if that's worth rerolling or not. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Well, the Taunt won't work, due to the Immunity. The Flurry, however, will. As this thing has a Defense of 21 due to Growth, that's a +6 from Autofire 3. On top of +5 from PA, which brings the Toughness to DC36. The Terminus Radiation makes a 26, leaving it Stunned and Staggered. Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 6 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 7 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 3 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Bruised x1, Stunned (Jack's Action), Staggered, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Unharmed, 2 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 5 HP Wander is up next.

Electra Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Erin is going to do what she always does when faced with unspeakable monstrosities, distract it and then smash it as hard as she possibly can! Fast Acrobatic Bluff as the move action, with skill mastery, DC 28. All-out power attack with bat, drops defense to +10, keeps attack at +15. 1d20+15=32. Depending on what that thing's defense is after the bluff, that may invoke some autofire damage as well, added onto DC 35 toughness. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well, it just fails to see through the cunning ruse, which means it's down to Flat-Footed again. But it was Stunned, so it already had a hideously low Defense. Let's see... it has an effective Defense of 12, meaning Wander takes the full +10 from Autofire. +5 for Power Attack, and that's a DC45 Toughness. Yeah, normally this thing would be hideously pasted by now. Luckily, there's Fiat. Wander gets back an HP as this thing takes 2 Bruises instead of dying entirely. Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 6 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 8 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 3 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Bruised x3, Stunned (Jack's Action), Staggered, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Unharmed, 2 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 5 HP Harrier is up next.

Avenger Assembled Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Move Action: Harrier uses Detect Weakness on the creature. 30 Standard Action: 15 That hits. DC 33 Tou save plus any autofire bonus. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 All right. I originally assigned a Weak Point Drawback to the creature based on the roll, but as that's weaksauce given Harrier's roll, I'll say Harrier gets a +2 to the Save DC of his attack. Which, with the +1 from Autofire, brings it to DC36. It makes a DC30, Bruising it and refreshing its Stun. Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 6 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 8 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 3 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Bruised x4, Stunned (Harrier's Action), Staggered, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Unharmed, 2 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 5 HP But not for long! It's the radiation's turn, it's shaking off its Stun via Fiat, and it is really not happy that Nick made it corporeal. It rounds on the necromancer and unleashes its Will-save Blast. So while everyone takes a Hero Point, Nick must make a DC30 Will save. 20. So Nick's Stunned and Staggered. Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 7 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 9 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 4 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Bruised x4, Staggered, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Bruised x1, Stunned (Radiation's Action), Staggered, 3 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 6 HP But now it's Nick's turn, and he's spending an HP to burn off the Stun. As this thing is damn close to him, he's going to manifest Ereshkigal's Talons and let 'er rip. That is, except for the part where having his soul flensed makes accuracy a bitch. Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 7 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 9 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 4 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Bruised x4, Staggered, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Bruised x1, Staggered, 2 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 6 HP Gabriel is up next.

KnightDisciple Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Okay, so...Hm. I think Gabriel will switch to his regular Blast. Ranged Attack: 15. Not sure if this hits in its current condition. If it doesn't, HP reroll. 14 becomes 24 with the HP add-in. If 15 would hit, ignore the re-roll, and credit me that HP back, if you please. DC 27 Toughness Save. I'm going to use Extra Effort, and do another attack. Ranged Attack 17. I'm thinking with it not stunned, and with no bluffs or anything from me, that doesn't hit. So, HP reroll. 21, plus the 10 from the HP, means a 31 should hit. So, up to 2 HP burned right now, with a third next round. Still. That'll be another DC 27 Toughness Save. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 First attack: it takes another Bruise. Second attack: it's Stunned. Jack of All Blades: 26, Unharmed, 7 HP Wander: 25, Unharmed, 9 HP Harrier: 14, Unharmed, 4 HP Terminus Radiation: 13, Bruised x6, Stunned (Gabriel's Action), Staggered, 0 HP Nick Cimitiere: 11, Bruised x1, Staggered, 2 HP Gabriel: 10, Unharmed, 4 HP Jack is up next.

Gizmo Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Jack of all Blades Standard Action: Energy Sword, Power Attack 5. (1d20+15=25) DC 22 Drain Toughness Save, DC 30 Toughness Save. Let me know if that finishes it off; if not, I've got a surge and power stunt to try. Link to comment
trollthumper Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 It ties on the Drain, and completely whiffs it on the Toughness save. Yup; it's dead. Link to comment
