Crossover: Battle on all Floors - Issue 11

Location: Stonehenge, England

Standing over the fallen zombie she knew not from where she came, she only knew that her spirit was as old as all the forests there have been since life began. She knows now why she was summoned. It was to stop the Domain invasion of Earth and their converting its matter to energy. Evergreen knows that she must protect the Earth from those who would abuse her or in the case of the Domain, subdue and consume her resources.

She is of the old days, when the Earth was not ruled only by men, but by the elves, dwarves, and goblins as well.

Spirit of the Water remember! Spirit of the Earth remember!

For she is Evergreen, Earth’s eternal protector.

She calmly surveyed the defeated foe outside. She activated her StarCorp Comm. unit. “All heroes! We have defeated the outside forces of the Tarot Masters.”

“Lightning Fist, Blastar, and Klondike leave your areas. Enter the Tower the fastest way possible.” She hand signaled to all the heroes around her to enter the Tower as well.

Away from the group, the Armored Emissary of War stood up slowly and surveyed the scorched battlefield that stretched out before him. He could see the bodies of the dead and dying, he could smell the unmistakable odor of burned flesh, and he could hear the muffled cries for help from those that were still suffering - an all too familiar landscape for a seasoned soldier like Phantom. His eyes then drifted up towards the Tower and he could see the last of the heroes enter through its upper levels; he knew that it was only a matter of time now before the battle would be over . . . he knew that there was only one last bit of unpleasant business to take care of. The Alabaster Avenger took a second to make sure all of his weapons and equipment were safely secured to him before taking a slow walk towards the Towers entrance. Wading through the vast sea of bloody bodies that littered the landscape before him, Phantom took out both of his pistols and began to search for signs of life.

Phantom leveled off one of his pistols at the fiend lying on the ground beneath him; and with the cold disregard of a methodical hunter, fired off two rounds at his head,

"BLAM, BLAM!!!"



On the Top floor of the Tower. The heroes battled the Demon forces of the Domain.

[40] Adamas stands in front of Elwood as he watched to see where the next attacks are coming from and who they are against.

[39] The Abomination with the club stood majestically in place. He pointed at the different heroes giving commands in a language that the Demons could only understand.

[36] Thunderhead said, "Those of us who are injured, feel free to use me as cover."  

Then the two-fisted titan of the 20th century looked calmly and resolutely into the eyes of the Demon Prince in front of him. "You don't belong here. You've made a mistake. Yes, mankind squabbles among ourselves from time to time, like any family does. But there's no way we won't unite against you. This is just the beginning. We will never stop fighting you. Go home. There's nothing here for you. It's still not too late to turn back from the wrong path."

His giant right fist inside his left, Thunderhead would hold his attack until an answer came.

The Demon Prince looked Thunderhead square in the eye, “Please don’t stop fighting. That is what we live for. Soon we will turn on the Anti-Matter Vacuum and it will fuel the creation of more Demons. It will create so many Demons that it will build a bridge from the Domain to your dimension.”

“Now we fight and we fight eternal!” the Abomination cried as it hit Thunderhead with an overhead smash of it massive fist.

WHAM!

{GM Note: 32 points damage, -32 HP. Since TH has so many more HP than PP. I did not have him roll with the hit. Please let me know if you want it differently}

[29]Dynamo said, “Eat electrons you horror!” as she fired electrical blasts from each hand. The first struck the Horror Demon removing more armor. The second missed striking the ground under Elwood. He jumped and hopped to the side to keep from falling off the Tower.

[25] Thunderhead stared in shock as the Abomination turned into a giant nail right before his eyes. The nail had eyes, a mouth, and was moving.

[24] Molecule Man in his gaseous form reached out with both hands. Mini-explosions erupted from both of them but missed the Horror.

[23] American Woman fired a light ray, hitting the Horror. More of its armor was chipped away.

[20]A sigh escaped Elwood's parched lips as he dodged side to side, making himself a moving target.  Looking to be enjoying himself less than he had been upon a little while ago, he said, "I wonder if Charlie will still be open by the time we get back."

American Woman replied, “I don’t know this Charlie you speak of but I can assure you that it will open up for us once we are victors.”

[19] The Crawler unleashed a sonic cry upon Thunderhead.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

He was struck by the sound wave.

{GM Note: 11 damage, -11 HP}

[18] Skylark unleashed her sonic blast on the Horror

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The sound wave missed.

[16] The Horror tried to turn to unleash its toxic gas on Molecule Man but got its tail stuck in the edge of the Maw.

[16] Thunderhead grabbed as much machinery as he could lift from the Maw on top of the platform and slammed it down onto his adversary. He wanted to drive the attack downward like a hammer driving a nail.

KA-BLAM!

The floor of the Tower bent as the Abomination was drove down on it. The Demon Prince crumpled to the floor unconscious.

{GM Note: 25% change of KO, rolled 23}

[15] The Demon XO’J from the back on the platform focused its single eye on Thunderhead.

AAARGGGH!

Thunderhead screamed as a migraine headache ripped through his skull.

{GM Note: Psy Blast; 9 damage, -9 HP}

[13] Slime 2 fired its Power Blast.

BBRRM!

 

To American Woman’s and Adamas’ surprise it was toward the other slime. The blast missed.

America Woman said, “I wonder why it did that?”

[13] Blastar flew from the battlefield to the center of the Tower. Skylark used their team signals to tell him to target the Horror.

BBRRM!

His power blast struck the Horror from behind. His shot by passed the Demon’s armor and dealt maximum damage to it. The blast was so powerful the scaly horror was knocked off the platform.

THUD!

The Demon hit the earth with a great force. It was on ground incapacitated.

[9] Klondike finished his jump across the battlefield by landing on Abomination 1.

WHAM!

Klondike struck a mighty blow with his fist but the Abomination stood its ground.

[8] With its club the Abomination swung at Klondike, missing.

[8] Slime 1 fired its power blast as Slime 2 which had just attacked it. The power blast struck true knocking out the traitorous Slime

[1] Adamas fired his power blast at the Abomination 1. The blast struck the Demon Prince but it withstood the damage and continued to fight.

 

On the ground floor of the Tower the fight was between the heroes and the Tarot Masters Swords Suite.

[32] Epsilon focused his mind. Two TK bolt flew at the FOUR of Swords. Both hit the Tarot Master hard. FOUR groaned with pain but continued to stand. He was ready to continue the fight.

[27] Tomahawk charged across the room. He slammed his ancestral namesake weapon in the King of Sword’s armor. Destroying part of it but failing to harm the Tarot Master leader.

[26] Archer silently went up the stairs.

[26] Through the doorway Lightning Fist came running. Quickly spotting the leader of the resistance he attacked the King of Swords. Pulling out his Nunckukus as he ran across the floor he dual struck the King. The first blow missed the protective armor and the second damaged the armor further. The King of Swords withstood the blows and waited for his turn to strike.

[26] Starbolt eyed The King and decided to blast at him until he drops. Starbolt fired two blasts at the King. The first struck the King by passing his protective armor knocking him out as the King fell he replied "Your reign has ended."

Starbolt’s second blast went astray striking Lightning Fist, knocking him out.

{GM Note: Second attack was a roll of 20, a fumble result. On the fumble table result was strike an ally}

[25] Magnetor fired a magnetic wave at the FOUR of Swords. The wave hit the soldier but he withstood the damage and continued to fight.

[22] Knight of Sword attempted to shoot Tomahawk but his gun jammed. He attempted to clear his weapon.

{GM Note: Fumble result. Knight has +4 to be hit until his next action}

[22] FOUR missed with his pistol shot at Magnetor.

[21] Space Racer signaled to Starbolt. “I am going to a higher floor. Join me after you have finished mopping up these broken Swords”. He flew up the stairs.

[21] With the stealth of a ninja, Kali came through the door and silently went up the stairs

[21]Invisibly Dreamweaver followed through the doorway and went up the stairs.

[20] Raven attacked FOUR of Swords with the claws on both his hands. He racked across the chest of the Tarot Master soldier who fell to the ground incapacitated.

[20] Red Hawk flew around the room with Starbolt. He kept the wingman position. Red Hawk fired a vibe blast at the Knight of Swords. The blast missed.

[19] Volcanic Man ran through the doorway, “Outta my way you muggs. Flaming big guy coming through!” He ran up the stairs.

[19] The Queen of Swords misfired when she tried to shot Tomahawk. Her pistol exploded in her hand. She rolled with the explosion. She signaled for the other Swords to continue fighting.

[19] NINE of Swords shot Tomahawk. The Native American hero groaned in pain but continued to fight.

[17] Evergreen ran through the door and went up the stairs.

[15] War Wagon fired a Tarot Master pistol at the Knight of Swords. His shot hit the Knight bypassing his armor. The Knight screamed in defiance. “When I clear my gun, you will be next four wheels!”

[14] A silhouette appeared at the edge of the doorway. Enforcer walked through the doorway with gun ready to meet any attack. He sidestepped quickly across the floor marking each enemy target as he went. He pressed his back against the wall of the stairway. He provided as small as target as possible as he ascended the stairs.

[14] Thud, thud, thud were the sounds heard as Resonator slowly trudged through the doorway. A loud and long creak was heard as he went up the stairs.

On the second floor the fight had just begun with the Cups Suite.

[26] Archer having followed DarkStar and Centurion X up the stairs. He continued to provide fire support by using two sonic arrows. He buried them in the ceiling right above Tarot Soldier Five.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The first arrow hit directly above FIVE of Cups. He stood in a cone of silence and was not hurt by the first arrow.

The sonic wave damaged the armor of both the King of Cups and the Knight of Cups but they were unharmed.

TWO, FOUR, SIX, and the Page of Cups bent over in pain from the sonic wave. All were hurt but all could still fight.

The Fool rolled with the damage and was unhurt by the first arrow.

EEEEEEEEEEEE!

The second arrow hit a little away from the FIVE of Cups.

FIVE, FOUR, Knight, SIX, and the Page of Cups bent over in pain from the sonic wave. All were hurt by the second arrow but they could still fight.

TWO of Wands fell to the ground unconscious.

The second sonic wave damaged the armor of the King of Cups but the King was unharmed.

[25] The Fool fired a Tarot Master pistol at Archer. His shot missed wide.

[24] The Malefactor, Ace of Cups, fired a green flame-like blast at Centurion X. The blast engulfed CX who rolled with the damage as best as he could.

{GM Note: 18 damage points, -4 to PP, and -14 HP}

[23] The Page of Cups missed when shooting at Archer.

[21] FOUR of Cups fired his pistol at Archer. He hit the Mystic Bowman

{GM Note: 13 damage, -5 PP, -8 HP}

[21] NINE of Cups fired his pistol at DarkStar. He missed.

[21] Space Racer flew out of the stairway. He circled quickly, flying back into the stairway entrance. He flew up the stairs.

[21] Kali came through the stairway. She attacked Moonflash. Her Power-Chuks struck true. Moonflash flew across room hitting the back railing. She fell to the ground unconscious.

[21] Invisibly Dreamweaver followed through the stairway. Standing behind Kali she fired a TK Blast at SEVEN of Cups. She missed.

[20] Queen of Cups hit Centurion X with her pistol shot.

{GM Note: 8 damage, -4 PP, -4 HP}

[20] "But, Wenchy-Poo, if I knock you out right away, you won't learn nuthin' " CX said to the Priestess as she struggled against her restraints. CX reached out with his Magnetic control and ripped strands of outer casing from the Gravity Generator.  They flow and stream toward the flaming Ace of Jock Straps.  He attempted to wrap him up in them and then merge his tangled mass with the one holding the Priestess.

Under his breath, "I hope this works..." but it didn’t. Centurion X couldn’t guide the strands to where Malefactor actually stood. The green flames surrounding him made it hard for CX to see him. What he had thought was Malefactor’s leg had been a reflection of his leg in the flame.

[20] The Black Orchid said to herself, "That was close; they may still know I'm here." She looked for any that may be eyeing her location. Black Orchid saw SIX of Cup was trying to locate her so she blasted him surreptitiously. His body shuttered as he was drained from the vacuum blast.

Black Orchid realized she was standing in front of a power generator that was twice the size and power as either of the two downstairs.

[19] Volcanic Man ran by the second floor stairway opening. “Looks like ya guys have this floor covered! Next stop third floor!” He continued running up the stairs.

[18] The King of Cups missed with his pistol shot at Archer.

[18] SIX of Cups feeling drained from earlier evaded.

[17] SEVEN of Cups fired his pistol at Dreamweaver. Even though being invisible he hit her in the arm. Dreamweaver scream in pain and the horror that she couldn’t move her arm.

[17] Evergreen ran through the stairway entrance. She ran across the room. She attacked SEVEN of Cups with her thorns. Her attack missed.

[17] DarkStar moved toward NINE of Cups. He punched him with a single punch.

WHAM!

The blow landed solidly but NINE didn’t fall. DarkStar knew that if he wasn’t fatigued he would have knocked the Tarot Master out. Instead NINE stood there ready to fight some more.

[16] FIVE fired on Archer, missing.

[16] TEN of Cups missed Archer with his shot.

[15] THREE of Cup’s shot went high over Archer’s head.

[14] The Knight of Cups took careful aim. “Frak” he cursed when his shot missed.

[14] EIGHT of Cups missed with his shot at Centurion X.

[14] Moving sideways as he pressed his back against the wall of the stairway, Enforcer ascended the stairs to the third floor.

[14] Thud, thud, thud were the sounds heard as Resonator slowly trudged up the stairway to the third floor.



On the Third floor, Lord Noman, Mindstorm and the Tarot Masters Wands Suite waited.

 

[21] Space Racer shot out of the stairway entrance. He soared over the room looking for the perfect target.

ZAP!

FIVE of Wands fired his wand at Space Racer. The electrical zap missed the space alien hero.

Mindstorm raised her hand to her temple. She focused her mind. An illusion of Lord Noman appeared in the place of one of the large support legs. Space Racer swooped and turned. He barrel straight at the illusion. At the last moment he realized it was indeed a false vision. Space Racer veered off missing the very real supporting leg.

ZAP!

The Queen of Wands blasted as Space Racer as he flew by her. Fortunately for the hero and unfortunately for the Queen her reaction time was too slow. The electrical blast missed.

As Space Racer flew down the right wall the Page raised her wand.

ZAP!

Spacer Racer barrel rolled by the electrical ray and flew to the other side of the room.

ZAP!

THREE of Wands fried at Space Racer from behind but his shot missed.

Space Racer banked for the last time. Placing both fists in front on him he flew toward his target, Lord Noman.

In a panic Lord Noman dove to the ground as Space Racer soared through where he had been standing a mere split second before. Space Racer flew past his foe and prepared to make another run.

[19] Busting through the stairway at an entrance like an eruption. The molten hero surveyed the room. “Hey, ya chumps! Its play time!”  Spotting the King of Wands, Volcanic Man charged between the Tarot Master soldiers who were too shocked to react.

The King of Wands did react. He raised his wand, aimed.

ZAP!

The electric ray blasted a chip off of Volcanic Man’s rocky hide.

“That all ya got? It didn’t even tickle. Now it’s my turn to crown ya!”

WHAM!

Volcanic Man delivered a haymaker right to the kisser. The punch damaged the King’s armor then the King is engulfed in flames. The King’s power armor provided no protection from the flames. He fell to the ground unconscious.

{GM Note: Flames Carrier Attack rolled a 1 for a crit. hit. Damage provided an 8% change of KO, rolled 2.}

[17] EIGHT of Wands fired his wand at Volcanic Man. The ray struck him doing more damage to his rocky hide.

[16] NINE of Wands hit Volcanic Man with his wand blast. The Molten hero rolled with the damage to minimize the loss of his precious hide

[15] Marutukku decided discretion was the better part of valor than facing these heroes and what possibly could be coming up those stairs. With his morale shattered he flew out of the Tower.

[15] In shear panic TWO jumped from the Tower to hit the ground incapacitated.

[15] In a clear showing of lost morale SEVEN and TEN of Wands fleed down the stairs.

[14] Enforcer came out of the stairway in a crouch position. He quickly moved to a supporting leg to setup in a firing position.

BLAM!

He fired on the Knight of Wands, puncturing the Tarot Master’s power Armor.

[14] Thud! Thud! Thud! Resonator walked out of the stairway. He followed the way he had seen Enforcer go. Spotting Mindstorm he raised his palm unleashing a sonic blast.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Mindstorm grunted from pain but was not hurt enough to quit.

[13] Lord Noman screamed “Overseer get me out of here! It is time to regroup at the island. Do it now!” With a popping sound Lord Noman was teleported away.

[13] The Knight of Wand spun and moved backwards. He found his own protective spot. He fired his wand at Enforcer hitting him. “Aarggh” Enforcer screamed as the electric ray penetrated his force field. He fell to the ground unconscious.

{GM Note: 9% of KO, rolled 1}

[13] SIX of Wands fired his wand at Resonator. The ray penetrated his armor. Resonator rolled with the damage.

[13] FOUR of Wands having lost his morale yelled, “I surrender! Don’t hurt me! I surrender!”

OOC: I have to agree with everyone, this is Great!

IC:  "But, Wenchy-Poo, if I knock you out right away, you won't learn nuthin' "

CX reaches out with his Magnetic control and rips strands of outer casing from the Gravity Generator.  They flow and stream toward the flaming Ace of Jock Straps.  He attempts to wrap him up in them and then merge his tangled mass with the one holding the Priestess. They will both get a little squeeze form the bands of metal.  If successful, the flaming Ass er, I mean Ace will have to power down or risk burning up the Priestess.

Under his breath, "I hope this works..."

Dave

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It most certainly is!

This is great stuff!

Back to the issue at hand (no pun intended):

The Black Orchid says to herself, "That was close; they may still know I'm here."

She will look for any that may be eyeing her location and then blast them surreptitiously. Do any of the machines on this level look similar to those on the first level?

Marc

------------------------------------------------------------------

The one Black Orchid is standing in front of looks like the power generator from downstairs but twice the size/power.

Tom

------------------------------------------------------------------

Thunderhead said, "Those of us who are injured, feel free to use me as cover."  

Then the two-fisted titan of the 20th century looked calmly and resolutely into the eyes of the Demon Prince. "You don't belong here. You've made a mistake. Yes, mankind squabbles among ourselves from time to time, like any family does. But there's no way we won't unite against you. This is just the beginning. We will never stop fighting you. Go home. There's nothing here for you. It's still not too late to turn back from the wrong path."

His giant right fist inside his left, Thunderhead would hold his attack until an answer came.

If the Abomination's answer was the expected one, Thunderhead would grab as much machinery as he could lift from the top of the platform (marked "A" on the map) and slam it down onto his adversary. He wanted to drive the attack downward like a hammer driving a nail, with the goal of knocking him through the floor or crushing him against it (if the Knockback didn't send him clean through).

If the Abomination's answer was a surprise, TH would use the above approach on any foes atop the platform who didn't retreat.

OOC:

Goals, in game terms:

-speak with the Abomination to give him a chance to see reason, as best as he is able (outside of TH's action, before the Demon's action)

-hold action to see what the Demon does with his action

-when the Demon attacks, use the machinery as a brawling weapon (attempting to get as much as he can lift, to best increase chance to hit and damage bonus)

-if Demon doesn't attack, repeat process with other foes. :-)

Thanks.

Best,

Jeff

------------------------------------------------------------------

Adamas will save his attack until he sees what is going on.  

His #1 priority is to stay between Elwood and danger.  If Elwood appears safe, he will attack whoever looks to be heading their way.  If no one moves toward them, he will back up Thunderhead.

Jon

------------------------------------------------------------------

Starbolt eyes The King and decides to blast at him until he drops. If he falls he replies "Your reign has ended." He will maintain his evasive flight patterns. If he drops the King, he will assist whomever needs the most help, or which enemy is closer.

Jamey

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Tom

I really meant to spend time prepping a decent Archer and DS post this Turn but the I spent most the last two weeks with oncologist and back surgeon. My back has improved with the surgery and oncologist confirmed I do have cancer - Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Suppose to start prep for chemo next  week. They say if you have to have one this one is a good one.

Yes please play  Archer and DS for me this turn. Maybe have Archer follow DS and CX up the stairs and continue to try to provide fire support by using two sonic arrows and burying them in the ceiling right above Tarot Soldier "5". a of get group of bad guys caught by the area of effect. Have DS back slap the bad guy at the top of the stairs for now twice if needed lol.  No Power points is scary condition to be in but there it is. :)

Thanks for any snappy or philosophical dialogue you can use to flavor the guys with

Thanks Tom

Your help and concern are much appreciated

John

> PHANTOM’S IC RESPONSE <

The Armoured Emissary of War stood up slowly and surveyed the scorched battlefield that stretched out before him. He could see the bodies of the dead and dying, he could smell the unmistakable odor of burned flesh, and he could hear the muffled cries for help from those that were still suffering - an all too familiar landscape for a seasoned soldier like Phantom. His eyes then drifted up towards the Tower and he could see the last of the heroes enter through its upper levels; he knew that it was only a matter of time now before the battle would be over . . . he knew that there was only one last bit of unpleasant business to take care of. The Alabaster Avenger took a second to make sure all of his weapons and equipment were safely secured to him before taking a slow walk towards the Towers entrance. Wading through the vast sea of bloody bodies that littered the landscape before him, Phantom took out both of his pistols and began to search for signs of life.

OOC: If he see's any zombies or villains still moving . . .

Phantom leveled off one of his pistols at the fiend laying on the ground beneath him; and with the cold disregard of a methodical hunter, fired off two rounds at his ( her ) head,

"BLAM, BLAM!!!"


OOC: If he see's any heroes still moving . . .

Phantom leveled off one of his pistols at *Insert Heroes Name Here* as he ( she ) just laid on the ground beneath him; and with the cold disregard of a methodical hunter, he ask him ( her ) one very simple question, "Have you been bitten?"

OOC: If the hero is unconscious and can't respond, Phantom will look for signs of zombie bite marks. If he doesn't see any zombie bite marks; and/or the hero responds that he hasn't been bitten ( he'll still look for bite marks ), then he'll say the following in a dark and monotone voice, "Someone will be along for you shortly." - and he'll just keep pressing forward.

OOC: If the hero is unconscious and can't respond, Phantom will look for signs of zombie bite marks. If he see any zombie bite marks; and/or the hero responds that he has been bitten, then he'll say the following in a dark and monotone voice, " . . . that's a Hell of a thing . . ." If the hero is conscious continue with the following IC - A few moment of silence passes between the two heroes as they just stare into each others eye's. An ominous understanding suddenly sweeps over them both and Phantom raises his weapon and points it at *Insert Heroes Name Here* head. *Insert Heroes Name Here* begins to raises his/her hands defensively and tries desperately to scream out for mercy.

 ". . . BLAM  . . . BLAM . . . "


> PHANTOM’S OOC RESPONSE <

Phantom is just going to go from body to body and kill anything he thinks should be dead . . . and that'll be just about everything lol

Tom, great issue as always! And if I haven't already mentioned this - its really awesome to see Jeff back with us as well.

Talk to you all soon,

-Kev

------------------------------------------------------------------

Tom,

Elwood will stay put, and Harvey will create an illusion.  Thunder Head was addressing the Abomination.   Harvey is going to attempt to make this guy look like a giant nail.

IC:

A sigh escapes Elwood's parched lips.  Looking to be enjoying himself less than he had been upon a little while ago, he says, "I wonder if Charlie will still be open by the time we get back."
