Sanctuary: Panacea (OOC)

[KnightDisciple]

Standard Action: Ranged Attack at....Mutant 5

16. Their Defense total is 18, as I recall. So, miss!

[Supercape]

Fleur is up!

[Electra]

Well, so much for that summon!

Fleur will spend her standard action activating the defenses of her HQ, which are just becoming available now that the air is clear and there are plants growing. I think that's going to be a Rank 15 blast worth 30pp?

For her move action, she will command the two trees to do a combined attack against the nearest Grue.

[Supercape]

Well, as you are aware, this is about the fudgiest fudge in M&M rules

I could interpret this in a whole stack of ways. This sounds good in principle...no, whats the attack roll?...gah...this brings up the whole confusion about what operating and actual PL are on this site....

But, heck, lets keep the ball rolling. The best comprimise I can come up with is that the defence systems are PL 15 (+15 attack, +15 DC) and it takes a standard action for Fleur to activate them (to stop her getting effectively two attacks / round). It still gives a whopping great blast!

1d20+15=25 it sure hits.

For toughness roll.

1d20+8=11 PLANET SMASH!

The two trees:1d20+2=6, 1d20+2=22 well, they may not combine their attacks, but thats a nifty critical on Grue 3!

1d20+8=10

And another one down!

Ok, at this point I am inclined to say game over. With two Grue left - and three heroes (albeit worse for the wear / poisoned / out of HP) its not worth playing out meaningfully as the last two are going to be KOd next round (or even this one).

Fleur, feel free to narrate the defence system and the trees disposing of the remaining Grue as you see fit!

I hope thats ok with everybody. GK and Gabe can also narrate being poisoned as they see fit (as they took several strikes) but at the end of the day, combat over!

[Supercape]

Let me know if you want a cut to somewhere else. Ill leave the flow of narrative to you guys at this point!

[Supercape]

Thanks All! A Long thread and my first major big-group punch up! Apologies for all the mistakes etc along the way!

For the purposes of future threads / exposition / whatever:

Panacea, Penny, and Pandora were / are all clones (Grue as young girls - although Penny, not being in statis, will grow up!). Pandora was the plague agent, designed to attack all life forms. Panacea was the cure to Pandora, a more selective biological agent that would wipe out Pandora's pathogens - although it was so aggressive that only Humanoids were exempt from its attack. Pandora was to go in first, sterilize the land, and Panacea would then remove the Pandora pathogen.

Penny was custom created by the android Captain to undo this. She is unstatted (as a child) but basically has a PL X ability to wipe out the Grue biological weapons in her vicinity.

Scraps just grew up a scavenger, and befreinded the Captain / Penny, acting as their friend and outside agent.

[Supercape]
