Two's Company, Four's a Party(OOC)

[Scuffles]

So if robot types shoot at Kristin where she's standing the prisoners aren't in any danger right? If so I'm guessing that's a "roll initiative" kind of time?

1d20+7=9 of course. From your description can she at least start with a surprise round?

[Ari]

Indeed she can. Initiative roll for the agents: 20. Huh.

Roll for the robots: 16.

[Scuffles]

Slow Glow is slow. She does get a surprise round though.

Standard action: Attack roll with TK 6 area attack: 19+6=25

[Ari]

Okay, that hits..all of them! Rolling Agents first. Using the Soldier archetype, as previous, with PL8 caps instead of PL5 ones.

Their 6 DC21 TOU checks: 19, 26, 22, 20, 14, 26. 3 down, three up.

The Bot's rolls: 18, 20. Both dropped.

THe three still standing make a Move Action down the hall and unleash hellfire on Glow's location.

27, 12, 18.

If any of those happen to hit, a DC23 TOU check please.

[Scuffles]

Ouch! Kristin's attack was distracting so she's denied her dodge bonus, leaving her with only +2 def. That means they all hit and she needs 3 DC 23 toughness saves at +6 (no defensive roll).

26 / 22 / 15 so two bruises and dazed.

[Ari]

Okay, round two.

1. OVERTHROW agents.

2. Glow: Bruise 2, Dazed, 1 HP

Agents will attack again. 24, 20, 9.

So two DC25 TOU checks please.

[Scuffles]

Glow's saving at +6 now because of her bruises.

11, 17 Ouch! Going to re-roll that first one with Glow's last HP. 7+6=13, but that becomes 17+6 = 23. Made one hooray.

So 17 failed by 6 which is another bruise + dazed.

[Ari]

GM FIating Glow rerolls the second check. As she isn't here, Scuffles can do it for her.

[Scuffles]

Arichamus: GM Fiating you reroll the second.

1+6=7 + 10 for the reroll = 17 again. Same result, bruise + daze.

[Ari]

A shame.

Agents' actions: Move to Glow and make a Grapple Attempt.

Grapple attack rolls: 11, 22, 18.

Two get past her Defense, so I'll rule that means one doesn't manage to keep their grip on Glow.

They drag her into the cell on the left facing from the surveillance room across the hall.

HP awarded for the setback,

[Scuffles]

So is there anything useful that Kristin can see about her cell?

Also, she'd like to see if she can do something about the cuffs. I'm assuming our friendly neighbourhood bad guys aren't incompetent enough that she can just shuck them off, but can she at least try to "step through" her arms to get them in front of her? Possibly an escape artist or acrobatics check? Or are the cuffs encasing her whole forearms which would make that mostly impossible?

[Ari]

They are little things that cover her hands and the first few inches of her arm just past her wrist. She could totally use an Escape Artist check to get them in a more convenient position.

Useful stuff in the cell? There's a shelf on the rear wall that halves the distance to the ventilator in the ceiling, a plate with a spork under the student's bed, and a loose bit of metal on the left-hand wall. It would be easy to remove it from the wall.

[Vahnyu]

Well, then. It seems quiet... maybe too quiet, so Notice check, to see if I'm observed in any way.

1d20+5 → [11,5] = (16)

Additionally, I'm going to take 10 on my(old) Knowledge Technology skill(for a total of 20), in order to aid my Notice attempt, identify if any cameras or motion sensors or whatnot are in place.

And at any rate, taking a stealth check as well, because you never know.

1d20+5 → [18,5] = (23)

Yowza!

Net Fly will attempt to get close to the inlet, unless he's been watched, in which case, he will try to quiet like disable the cameras, sensors, whatever, by taking 10 on his disable device(20 total, by the old sheet)

[Ari]

You succeed in detecting the network of small cameras on the walls and floors. It is the work of a moment to disable them by re-routing their observation commands to switch 180 degrees.

[Scuffles]

Kristin's escape artist check vs hands-behind-back: 1d20+7=20

[Ari]

As established in Chat, the DC was 15, so success!

[Vahnyu]

New Stealth Check

1d20+5 → [19,5] = (24)

Plan A, Knowledge(Technology) Check vs DC25 for a +4 bonus

1d20+10 → [1,10] = (11)

Plan C, Using Datalink to link directly into the device. Taking 10 on Computers(total 20) to beat the DC15.

Computers DC35 and Knowledge(Technology) DC17 to beat the security. Not even bothering with a roll.

Plan C.b,Computers DC22 to scan the ship's layout....

1d20+10 → [2,10] = (12)

yeah....

So, back to Plan B:"Blowing stuff up!"

[Ari]

Wait a dang minute, doesn't Net Fly have a +20 to his Computers skill?

[Vahnyu]

as a PL8, yes, Ari. However, didn't you say that we should use his PL7 sheet?

[Ari]

I beg your pardon, that had indeed slipped my mind. :wallbang:

Okay now it won't slip.

Commence Plan B at your leisure.

[Vahnyu]

New Stealth Check.

1d20+5 → [13,5] = (18)

Disappointgly enough, A Notice Check.

1d20+5 → [2,5] = (7)

[Ari]

Notice check from any robots in the areas he passes(using the base robots in the Core): 16. You sidle on by without incident!

[Scuffles]

Okay, so Glow doesn't really think she wants to be escaping and running into more guards with her power cuffs on. Her escape plans are currently centered around getting them off. What are her options for doing so?

Can she use the blood on her leg to make her wrists slippery and get them off that way? Can she use the metal strip off the wall to break them somehow? Can she pick the lock with a spork? (Okay that last one is probably a bit silly). If none of those work can she use any of them on the door of the cell?

[Ari]

Yes, yes and yes. For reasons that defy all logic it's a metal spork.

DC18 DEX roll to strategically smear blood over her wrists to help with getting the 'cuffs off(reduces final roll by 4)

DC16 Wisdom check to properly use the spork in loosening the lock and the mechanical hinges that are part of the 'cuffs(reduces it by 2).

DC18 STR check to loosen the 'cuffs with the slightly protruding bit of metal(reduces by 8).

Final check: DC30 Escape Artist check, if all succeeded it becomes DC16(yes I know you can count, I'm a lot less sure of my own ability to keep track of this stuff )

EDIT: As agreed in Chat, the rolls have been changed to an Acrobatics, Concentration and Disable Device roll series. Still leading up to that Escape Artist check, and still the same DCs.

[GranspearZX]

So it looks like Arcturus is going to try to recreate the Circle of Salt. Is there enough information about it between Waker and the books around his tower to actually pull that off?
