Quest: Middle of a Bug Fight - Issue 49

Location: Hidden Tomb of Cor on Easter Island


The Statues of the Beetle-Warrior came to life and attacked the Guardians attempting to protect the Dome from invaders.


[44] Forcing his opponent up against the wall, Adamas' fists became a blur as he mercilessly assaulted the armored abomination. Exoskeleton pieces flew across the room as Adamas punched holes in the Horror’s armor. The Horror withstood the onslaught and was still standing. It was able to continue to fight.

[31] Injured, the ancient child backed up in astonished surprise and targeted the inhuman creature before him with a blast of ice and cold!

ZING!

Jack aimed at the thing's legs, he immobilized it with ice.

[29] Red Hawk held his action as he waited for Black Orchid to attack.

[28] The Horror vanquished, the titan of tempests reeled around to face the Bug Man that was behind him.

ZRAKOW!

Once more, twin bolts of lightning arced from his otherworldly eyes struck the Horror! Its exoskeleton cracked but no gaps were opened up. The Horror continued to fight.

[25] Centurion X transformed the floating shield into multiple strains of steel cable. He wrapped it around the Horror trapped in ice. Its legs were trapped in ice and its torso & arms were wrapped in steel.

[23] The Beetle-Warrior that had been attacked by Thunderhead attacked back.

WHAM!

Its pike struck the Incan Incarnate without hurting him

{GM Note: Horror did 13 damage points, -13 to Invulnerability}

[20] The trapped Horror struggled against steel and ice. It wasn’t strong enough to free itself. It remained caged.

[17] Starbolt tried again to clamp the closest warrior. He was successful. The Beetle-Warrior Horror was trapped in a solid light clamp.

[16] Still invisible, The Black Orchid walked around to where the statue came from and examines the wall, avoiding combat as she could. There wasn’t anything indicating a portal was on the West side of the Dome, which was opposite of the entrance into the Dome.

{GM Note: Black Orchid evaded last turn which carried over to this turn too. Successful Detect Hidden roll, nothing was hidden on West side}

[16] Dodging and weaving his way in the melee Chris watched the floor of the ancient tomb for the tell tale signs of footprints in the dust and debris. Footprints being made without a visible body. "Orchid if you can't decide then return the weapon and I'll do what must be to return its power."

Red Hawk flank attacked the lone free Horror with a vibe blast. The blast struck its armor. Exoskeleton flew into the air opening wider gaps in its armor.

Since Black Orchid hasn't used the Syckle on one of the Domain guardians by that point he attempted to take the weapon. Red Hawk planned to do what he felt needed to be done so they would have its power in the coming battle.

Using his heightened senses Chris located where she was standing but when he reached for the Syckle he grabbed air.

"Sorry Red Hawk," she thought over the link, "We can all talk about this when we're not fighting for our lives."

Black Orchid avoided Red Hawk.

{GM Note: Red Hawk had a successful Detect Hidden roll to find Black Orchid. His attempt to grab the Syckle from Black Orchid missed because he rolled above the need “to hit” value}

[14] The last free Beetle-Warrior attacked Adamas.

Wham!

The armored abomination’s pike struck harmlessly

{GM Note: 9 damage points, -9 to Invulnerability}

[13] While the Black Orchid was looking for the portal, she attacked the Horror that attacked Adamas with a vacuum blast. Power drained from the Armored Abomination.

OC: Time to put the hurt on this squid.

IC: "Forcing his opponent up against the wall, Adamas' fist became a blur as he mercilessly assaulted the tentacled terror."

OC: Picturing something like Agent Smith on Neo. :) I believe Adamas has heightened initiative with HTH, but I don't think he's ever really used that.  Let's see how it works here. Can't wait to take it to the Domain!  If that's not how it works, let me know.

Jon
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tentacle Terror is incapacitated. Adamas was last attacked by a Beetle-Warrior Horror. Is that who you mean to attack?

Adamas has heightened initiative not heightened speed so he doesn't get multiple actions per turn. So you have using it all the time, that is why Adamas is one of the first to move/act every turn.

Adamas can make a dual attack but the option to multiple attack is there, so you can definitely perform the attack you want. I need to know how many punches Adamas will throw.

Regards
Tom 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick clarification, Adamas can throw 4 punches without stopping for a miss. If he throws more punches the first miss and he stops (effect starts on punch number 5).

Thanks
Tom
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s go with 4.

Jon
--------------------------------------------------------
So, Can't find where I responded to this... We'll go with four. :) Why risk a total miss.

Targeting the closest Beetle-Warrior Horror.

Thanks,

Jon

Still invisible, The Black Orchid walks around to where the statue came from and examines the wall, avoiding combat (evading) as she can. Is there anything indicating a portal here?

Marc
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There were 3 Beetle-Warriors statutes.  Which location are you investigating?

North, South, or West.

Thanks
Tom
-------------------------------------------------------------------
While The Black Orchid is looking, if any of the crew looks like they might be getting in trouble, she will attack his opponent with a vacuum blast.

Marc
-------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Nice issue Tom!

Yeouch! Jack is almost half-wounded.
I think we have three team members not engaged in this fight. These beetle guys are tough. Please engage!  :)

Thanks,
Jeff
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Starbolt will try again to clamp the closest warrior.

Thunderhead:
The Horror vanquished, the titan of tempests reeled around to face the Bug Man that was behind him.
ZRAKOW!
Once more, twin bolts of lightning arced from his otherworldly eyes!
(OOC: two bolts, but just one attack please. Thanks!)


Jack Frost:
Injured, the ancient child backed up in astonished surprise and targeted the inhuman creature before him with a blast of ice and cold!
ZING!
Jack aimed at the thing's legs, to attempt to immobilize it with ice.
(OOC: Ice attack for damage, with accumulated ice clinging to him, is the plan. Thanks!)

Best,
Jeff

<Red Hawk: IC> Dodging and weaving his way in the melee Chris watches the floor of the ancient tomb for the tell tale signs of footprints in the dust an debris.

Red Hawk will flank attack an opponent until he can find a Black Orchid. If she hasn't used the Scythe on one of the guardians by that point he will take the weapon and do what he feels need to be done so they will have its power in the coming battle.

"My preciioouussss!"  ;)

Jeff
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lol

John
---------------------------------------------------------------------
He has to find The Black Orchid first!

"Sorry Red Hawk," she thinks over the link, "We can all talk about this when we're not fighting for our lives." She will now try to avoid Red Hawk, but will intercept (as much as possible) the one fighting Jack Frost if it looks like he is about to get hit again.
