Airon Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 OOC for this one! Catalyst, Asad and Weaver vs Madame Marvelous! the introduction is just for Catalyst, but what she hears, likely Asad hears too. Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Iniative then? 17 for Catalyst. Link to comment
TheAbsurdist Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Initiative (1d20+7=26) Yo! Though I figure Asad is cruising with Weaver. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Initiative order Asad 26 Catalyst 17 Weaver 17 - 1d20+3 → [14,3] = (17) Goons on tiger truck 15 - 1d20+3 → [12,3] = (15) Goons on bear truck 11 - 1d20+1 → [10,1] = (11) INFO: the goons on bear truck are 3 Soldier archetype, except the driver who is a Thug enhanced with the Feral Package Template applied (Freedom City Campaign Setting, page 82). The goons on the Tiger truck are 3 Thugs with the Feral Package Template The street is the nameless bridge that connects 16th to Charleston. There are several other cars on the higway. It's a simple 2 level bridge, bottom level highway, top level train; At the current speed, we have 3 rounds on the bridge and then they get in the streets of Hanover. Catalyst, if you want to get on their side and shoot, it's a Drive check DC 10, you get on the other side safe but suffer a -8 to your standard action. DC 15, you get on the other side safe but suffer a -4 to your standard action. DC 20 you get on the other side and you can perform your standard action unhindered. if you spend another round in pursuit closing in, next round the DCs scale down by 5. Yo! Though I figure Asad is cruising with Weaver. indeed, though now I can't help but figuring Weaver as Murtaugh and Asad as Riggs in a buddy cop chase scene. Feel free to write the first post for the odd couple. Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 17, heh, I think I'll spend a round in pursuit. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 OK, as GM, I'm assuming that Asad and Weaver spent the first round arriving in the position described in the IC post. It's not really a GM fiat as much as a reasonable assumption. Tell me it you feel chated of your hero point :mrgreen: round 2 of 3 on the bridge begins, Asad's turn (if you need to move, you can consider Arug under your own control, we assume you tell me and I move him/it). After him we have Catalyst (and you can take actions even if you have a penalty, it's part of being a superhero... and there are no terrible consequences for failure in this situation). DCs are the same as above, lowered by 5. If you want to attempt something different, just ask. Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 There on a highway right? Gonna use the ramp so Catalyst will buzz up one side of an exit then down the other getting up next to the trucks while passing the cops. Drive roll, 16. Anyway, Catalyst is gonna shoot and drive, she's using her blast rounds to take out the tires of the first truck. 24, so assuming the trucks defense, that's a 22 hit on the tires, don't think inanimate objects get toughness rolls.

I'm really sorry, you'll have to describe that in other words 'cause I'm not familiar with American highway structure :oops: Also, remeber they're on a bridge. Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Switching to targetted area attack snare, which is a DC 17 reflex, though I don't htink cars can make that. Basically the tires are getting gunked up with PB foam. Link to comment
TheAbsurdist Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Charge Attack on Snared truck from above via Accelerated Movement. 1d20+7=22 Hit! Now, this attack is primarily for Asad to absorb the kinetic energy of the attack to access his array, ala the Batteries Not Included array. So his damage is only going to be +5, so Toughess save of 20 for for the truck. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ok, so no Ref save for the vehicles, I'm assuming one is entangled, the other is bound. as for Asad's attack, pickup's Toughness is +9 1d20+9 → [4,9] = (13) wow. That is bad. Failed by 7, the truck is "Injured" as in has sustained a bit of damage, but still works (-1 TOU). Link to comment
Airon Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Weaver's attack roll the Feral Thug's defense is 16 (10 base, +2 defense, +4 cover provided by the truck) 1d20+10 → [11,10] = (21) got him! Feral Thug's Reflex ST vs DC 20: 1d20+3 → [14,3] = (17) he is Entangled The Snare is Constricting, so he suffers a DC 20 (15 + 10/2) Toughness Save 1d20+6 → [12,6] = (18) he fails, he is Unconscious Link to comment
Airon Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Feral Thugs have strength of 14+8= 22, +6 bonus the two feral thugs will use the Aid action to free the truck (Strength check DC 10 staged) 1d20+6 → [9,6] = (15) beaten by 5, +2 to the truck's check 1d20+6 → [20,6] = (26)beaten by 16, +3 (+5 total) to the truck's check. The truck (Str 40, +15) will try to escape the Snare (DC 18 (+5 base, +3 from autofire)) given that it has a +20 bonus (+15 strength, +5 from the Aid), it can fail only with a 1 1d20 → [16] = (16) it is free. The three Soldier archetypes on the bear truck will shoot at the heroes. I'll roll the three dices together, the order Asad, Catalyst, Weaver 1d20+5; 1d20+5;1d20+5 → [13,5] = (18) 1d20+5; 1d20+5;1d20+5 → [10,5] = (15) 1d20+5; 1d20+5;1d20+5 → [16,5] = (21) I won't even check if Asad is hit, since he is bulletproof. Catalyst's Van is hit, and since the assault rifle of the Soldiers have a +5 damage bonus, her Impervious isn't enough to stop it. the Van has to do a Toughness check, DC 23 (15 base, +5 damage, +3 autofire) Weaver too is hit, and has to do a DC 21 Toughness check (15 base, +5 damage, +1 auofire) 1d20+11 → [17,11] = (28) uh, lucky! *** So, Aoiroo can roll her TOU save, then we start our next round; since this round it was snared, the truck will still take 2 rounds to get to the end of the bridge and into Hanover. Asad, unharmed, 1 HP Catalyst, unharmed, 2 HP (the van may be damaged) Weaver, unharmed, 1 HP Tiger truck running away, unharmed; 1 Feral Tug om board, unharmed 2 Feral goons on foot, unharmed 3 Soldiers with Cover in the Bear truck, unharmed (truck has -1 tou), Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 5 impervious toughness can't stop 5 damage? Link to comment
Airon Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 no, sorry... Ultimate power, page 100 IMPERVIOUS +1 MODIFIER A saving throw with this modifier is especially resistant. Any effect with a Save Difficulty modifier less than the Impervious save’s bonus is resisted automatically (that is, the saving throw automatically succeeds). So, for example, Impervious Toughness 8 automatically resists any Damage with a bonus of +7 or less. Penetrating effects can overcome some or all of an Impervious saving throw Link to comment
Airon Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 EDIT: Asad deayed, so it's catalyst who is up... So, Aoiroo can roll her TOU save, then we start our next round; since this round it was snared, the truck will still take 2 rounds to get to the end of the bridge and into Hanover. Catalyst, unharmed, 2 HP (the van may be damaged) Asad, unharmed, 1 HP Weaver, unharmed, 1 HP Tiger truck running away, unharmed; 1 Feral Tug om board, unharmed 2 Feral goons on foot, unharmed 3 Soldiers with Cover in the Bear truck, unharmed (truck has -1 tou), Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 17, van is damaged. Catalyst has parked her van, but she is shooting out another snare to stop the truck again as well as the soldiers outside the truck. She's upping the power with power attack and shifting by two. So, 29, critical snare. so with Autofire, that adds 3 points making it 20, and with the crit, it adds 5 more points, making each person she snared a DC 25 reflex roll to get out. It's selective area, so she didn't hit Asad or Weaver. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 the two trucks are Stuck again! here's the Ref saves for the two poor bastards who got out 1d20+3; 1d20+3 → [11,3] = (14) 1d20+3; 1d20+3 → [14,3] = (17) vs DC 25 they both fail by 5 or more so they are both Bound and Helpless Link to comment
TheAbsurdist Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Asad is going to grapple and lift the first truck, the one shooting at him. Lift the truck! (1d20+20=33) So success. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 ok, the only actions requiring rolls are the two thugs trying to free themselves. They'll attack their Snare with a Mighty Strike, so the Snare (who thanks to critical and everything has a Toughness of +15) has to make a DC 23 toughness check 1d20+15; 1d20+15 → [19,15] = (34) 1d20+15; 1d20+15 → [15,15] = (30) yeah, those two ain't getting out of anything. * * * new round. If he can take All-out movement, next round the fleeing thug will reach the end of the bridge. Catalyst, unharmed, 2 HP (the van has -1 TOU) in a badass John Woo pose Asad, unharmed, 1 HP, kind of in the middle of something Weaver, unharmed, 1 HP, enjoying the show but missing the popcorns Tiger truck Bound helplessly; 1 Feral Thug, unharmed, on the run 2 Feral goons on foot, unharmed but Bound and Helpless 3 Soldiers with Cover in the Bear truck, unharmed (truck has -1 tou), but Slowed due to feeling akin to dices in the cupped hands of a player. Also, the bad guys see the heroes as if they have Total Concealment. Link to comment
Aoiroo Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Catalyst is gonna shoot the runaway with a stun attack (IE, Pepperspray ball). 24,, well if that hits well, it's DC 15 fortitude, plus an extra DC for every 2 past his defense that she hit. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 ok, the Thug in the previous round used his move action to get away 250 feet, so it's a -8 for Catalyst. 24-8=16 the Thug's defense is only 12 so hit! Stun: fortitude DC 17 1d20+8 → [3,8] = (11) ok, the Thug would be out, but I'm gonna use a Fiat to let him get away. Catalyst gains a HP. Asad is up. Link to comment
TheAbsurdist Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Carrying the the truck, Asad does an All Out Move, to cover the distance between him and the fleeing thug. Landing in front of him and holding the truck one handed. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 ok, so Weaver is gonna fly above the Thug and try to suffocate him with his Suffocating damage 1d20+10 →[12,10] = (22) it's a hit! Toughness DC 25 1d20+8 → [17,8] = (25) wow, it's a tough tiger thug! he is unharmed. Link to comment
Airon Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 ok, so, the Thug is running All-Out, and he arrives at the end of the bridge... where exciting new action awaits! the two foamed thugs you can forget, they are firmly in the hands of the police. Asad is still holding the remaining 3 Catalyst, unharmed, 3 HP (the van has -1 TOU) Asad, unharmed, 1 HP, still kind of in the middle of something Weaver, unharmed, 1 HP Tiger truck Bound helplessly; 1 Feral Thug, unharmed, on the run 3 Soldiers with Cover in the Bear truck, unharmed (truck has -1 tou), but Slowed due to feeling akin to dices in the cupped hands of a player.
