Deck
A of the Doomsday Robot.
Into his comms unit, Adamas stated, "I'm
in."
The hatch behind Adamas quietly opened. A
Metal Mammoth came through it.
“Ah, Adamas, they told me you would be the
first one into the breach. I am CyberDoom. I see what you are capable of doing
to my crew. Let’s see what you can do to me, but this time me first.”
[Last Issue] CyberDoom swung his massive
metal fists hitting Alien Dynamo both times.
BAM!
Adamas rolled with the punch.
{GM
Note: CyberDoom rolled 6 points of blunt kinetic damage. Adamas invulnerability
stopped ¾ of it. 2 points of damage gets past his protection. Adamas rolled
with it, -2 Power Points.}
BAM!
Adamas rolled with the punch.
{GM
Note: CyberDoom rolled 19 points of blunt kinetic damage. Adamas
invulnerability stopped ¾ of it. 5 points of damage gets past his protection.
Adamas rolled with it, -5 Power Points.}
Adamas, barely moved by the punches, said,
"I'd love to test my strength against you, but my goal right now is
stopping this robot."
[12] Adamas grabbed the largest piece of
equipment he could find and tore it off the wall. It broke into smaller pieces
in his hands. He held ½ a hard drive and a short cable. The missing pieces did
not impact the functionality of the larger machine. He used it as a bludgeon to try to knock
CyberDoom back through the door he came through.
{GM Note: I roll damage to determine how
large a piece of equipment is ripped loose. Adamas rolling d6+d8 rolled 4
damage points. This isn’t large enough to create a brawling weapon or stop the
functioning of the equipment.}
[12 2nd action] Adamas punched
CyberDoom.
BAM!
Adamas’ fist struck CyberDoom. The punch was
stopped by CyberDoom’s Armor.
{GM
Note: Adamas rolled 8 damage points. The damage was enough to get past
CyberDoom’s Force Field but it didn’t exceed his Armor.}
[7] CyberDoom laughed. “I know about you
Adamas and I have prepared!” CyberDoom swung his massive metal fists hitting
Alien Dynamo both times.
KABAM!
Adamas rolled with the punch.
{GM
Note: CyberDoom rolled a critical hit. Adamas can roll with ½ the damage he
would normally roll with. CyberDoom rolled 20 points of blunt kinetic damage.
Adamas invulnerability stopped ¾ of it. 5 points of damage gets past his
protection. Adamas rolled with 3 points of damage; -3 Power Points, -2 Hit
Points. Adamas rolled 2 on mass roll, no knock back}
BAM!
Adamas rolled with the punch.
{GM
Note: CyberDoom rolled 25 points of blunt kinetic damage. Adamas
invulnerability stopped ¾ of it. 6 points of damage gets past his protection.
Adamas rolled with 5 points of damage; -5 Power Points, -1 Hit Point. Adamas
rolled 3 on mass roll, no knock back}
Outside of the Doomsday Robot
[12] The Demolisher kept pounding on the
leg. "The bigger they are the
harder they fall!"
WHAM!
His sledgehammer smashed armor, sending metal
pieces flying as he struck the Doomsday Robot’s leg again. Demolisher opened
another huge hole in the robot’s leg. It still stood but the damage was
obvious.
{GM
Note: Demolisher needed 16 or less, rolled 9. He rolled 21 damage points.}
[ 9] William watched as Laserfire blasted off back
into the action.
“This is ridiculous” he mused to himself.
“I’m stuck here on medical duty and even the ones that get injured don’t need
my help!”
Dr Wildman was sensing his frustration at his
own limitations. He was a man of action. He’d survived pretty much any environment
the word could throw at him and yet sitting on this flatbed truck he felt the
hopelessness of the impotence of his situation. It was still another 25 minutes
until dawn. At that moment the Solar Druid would be able to reconnect to the
eldritch energies that empowered his mystical abilities and he’d be of more use
to the team...and heavens knows what Stormlord was doing with the Cowl of
Storms now that the magical tempest had abated.
Still that was a problem for another day - if
they ever got to see another day that is.
William grabbed the first aid backpack and
slipped it over his shoulders. “Well as all the action seems to be moving
inside, I’m probably going to be of more use within than without.”
Dr Wildman sprinted to the ankle door and
follows his companions up the stairs.
[ 7] Both Manta-Man and Laserfire watched the
Doomsday Robot closely
{GM
Note; both held their actions and waited to counterblast any attacks by the
Doomsday Robot.}
[Last Turn] Patty had spent her time looking
for opportunities to defend property or reflect damage. She couldn’t do
anything to reflect the missile. She ran toward the other side of the building
attempting to escape the collapsing side.
Suddenly she was swept off her feet. Patty
turned her head to see that it was Skink who had grabbed her. Skink ran over
the side of the building and down it carrying Patty with him.
Patty smiled at Skink. "Thanks for the
save! But two dates in one night and people might start talking."
[5] Patty Plus got back on her feet and ran
to help Demolisher attack the robot's leg.
Patty didn’t know if she could damage it with
her strength, but she knew she had the character flaw of not being able to hold
back in a fight so she liked the idea of punching something that won't squish.
Two rounds of defense with no joy made her feel like she wasn't pulling her
weight and she wanted to impress these folks.
BAM!
Patty punched the Doomsday Robot’s leg. She
felt the armor give. A small fist size dent was left behind
{GM
Note: Patty rolled 9 points of damage. It was enough to get past the armor but
not enough to make a hole.}
[3] The Doomsday Robot bent over swinging its
right hand to swat Demolisher and Patty Plus which were next to his leg.
{GM
Note: The Robot’s hand is 10 feet wide, 2 game inches. This is an area attack
punch. Because it is an area attack Manta-Man and Laserfire can’t counterblast
the attack. Demolisher and Patty Plus will have to make a Saving throw against
their defense to jump out of the way. Patty could use her innate shielding to
absorb the blow. I decided to have Demolisher jump and Patty Plus to use her
shield.}
Demolisher attempted to jump out of the way
of the giant robotic hand but failed.
{GM
Note: Demolisher’s Defense is 1 plus bonus of 9 minus 6 for needing to jump 2
inches (-3 per inch) for target number of 4. Demolisher rolled a 6. He failed
his save.}
KABAM!
Demolisher rolled with being swatted by the
Doomsday Robot.
{GM
Note: Doomsday Robot rolled 33 points of blunt kinetic damage. Demolisher’s
invulnerability stopped ¾ of it. 8 points of damage gets past his protection.
Demolisher currently has the Fortitude Power. It is his temporary power for
this combat. He can roll with 2x more damage than normal. He rolled with all 8
points of damage; -8 Power Points.}
Patty Plus readied her shield to receive the
blow.
{GM
Note: Patty Plus needs to make a Shield save to use her shield. Base save is 9
plus Defense with Shield 5 for target number of 14. Patty Plus rolled a 12. She
made her save.}
KABAM!
Patty Plus’ shield held against the power
swat of the Doomsday Robot.
{GM
Note: Doomsday Robot rolled 17 points of blunt kinetic damage. Patty Plus’
Shield has a breakpoint of 27. The damage isn’t enough to break her shield.}
[3] The Doomsday Robot swiveled to swing its left
hand to trap Demolisher and Patty Plus to the ground beneath it.
{GM
Note: The Robot’s hand is 10 feet wide, 2 game inches. This is an area attack
grapple. Because it is an area attack Manta-Man and Laserfire can’t
counterblast the attack. Demolisher and Patty Plus will have to make a Saving
throw against their defense to jump out of the way. Patty’s shielding wouldn’t
stop her from being grappled, held to the ground. Both Demolisher and Patty
Plus have to jump out of the way}
Demolisher attempted to jump out of the way
of the giant robotic hand but failed, again.
{GM
Note: Demolisher’s Defense is 1 plus bonus of 9 minus 6 for needing to jump 2
inches (-3 per inch) for target number of 4. Demolisher rolled a 19. He failed
his save.}
WHOOMP!
Demolisher was smashed into the cement. He
lay trapped between the giant metal robotic hand and the street. He pushed with
against it but couldn’t move it. He was stuck.
{GM
Note: Demolisher attempted to break free. This is his basic HtH of 2d8 vs the
basic HtH of the Robot. Demolisher rolled a 10. The Robot rolled a 17.
Demolisher failed to break free.}
Patty Plus attempted to jump out of the way
of the giant robotic hand and succeeded.
{GM
Note: Patty Plus’ Defense is 1 plus bonus of 9 minus 6 for needing to jump 2
inches (-3 per inch) for target number of 4. Patty Plus rolled a 3. She succeeded
her save roll.}
[ 3] Manta-Man fired an electric bolt at the
wrist on the left hand of the Doomsday Robot in an attempt to free Demolisher.
He missed
{GM
Note: Manta-Man needed a 9 to hit. He rolled a 10.}
[ 3] Laserfire fired a laser blast at the
wrist on the left hand of the Doomsday Robot in an attempt to free Demolisher.
He missed
{GM
Note: Laserfire needed a 7 to hit. He rolled a 14.}
[ 2] The Black Orchid ran to the hole punched
by Demolisher and started moving through the corridors. “I need to shut down
those weapon systems before anybody gets seriously hurt”.
StrikeForce entered the E deck control center.
He found 2 crew members manning the control panels.
[ 9] Dr Wildman sprinted to the ankle door
and followed his companions up the stairs. He entered the room behind
StrikeForce. Dr. Wildman attempted to charm the one on his right {Hawkins} with his Amulet of Charming.
It didn’t work, the agent wasn’t charmed. Dr Wildman focused on the man,
wondering if he was human at all.
{GM
Note: The Mind Control failed automatically. Dr Wildman made a perception save
against his intelligence save target of 12. Dr. Wildman rolled a 3. Dr. Wildman
perceived that Hawkins wasn’t an organic being but a sophisticated machine,
another robot}
[ 7] Philips said, “Hawkins initiate
stabilization protocols. That dang construction worker with the hammer is able
to disable one of the legs. Dang, hurry we need the flight engines to ensure
the Robot is immobilized. It can’t be knocked over but we can be stuck!”
[ 7] “On it now. The protocols are active and
running!” Hawkins replied.
Philips spoke into the comms. “Weapons center
focus your attacks on protecting that leg. We can’t take any more damage. If we
do we will have to abort the ground attack and convert to airborne attack
mode.”
“We’re on it!” was the reply.
[ 4] The Bionic Brawler entered the area with
the two adversaries. He said to them. "I would ask you to surrender, but
it seems that generic lackey must pay very well. Does your employer have Dental
and Medical? As it seems that you will both soon need it." Gripping his
Escrima sticks he moved between them and executed an attack pattern taking out
the combatants.
BAM!
StrikeForce smashed Hawkins into the wall. He
was embedded into the wall incapacitated.
{GM
Note: StrikeForce needed to roll an 18 to hit. He rolled 15. He rolled 21
points of damage. This was enough damage to create knockback.}
BAM!
StrikeForce smashed Philip, sending him fly
across the room into the wall. He fell to the floor incapacitated.
{GM
Note: StrikeForce needed to roll an 18 to hit. He rolled 10. He rolled 21
points of damage. This was enough damage to create knockback.}
[ 2] A Cyberion Guardian entered from the
ceiling hatch. He raised his palm, pointing it at StrikeForce. The Cyberion
Guardian hit StrikeForce with a power blast.
BRRZZT!
StrikeForce rolled with the blast. He was still
standing and could still fight.
{GM
Note: Cyberion Guardian rolled 11 points of high temp energy damage. StrikeForce’s
armor stopped 6 point. 5 points of damage gets past his protection. StrikeForce
rolled with 5 points of damage; -5 Power Points}
[ 2] The Black Orchid moved through the
corridors to reach Dr. Wildman. “I need to shut down those weapon systems
before anybody gets seriously hurt”. Invisibly, she moved into the room to the
control panel, using her understanding of power requirements and electrical
conduits, The Black Orchid found the room for controlling the high energy
weapons. She had to get to Deck B.

Glad
to receive the new issue. Will work on my reply soon.
Thanks,
Jamey
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CyberDoom,
cool...
Jon
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My
money is on Adamas. I can't bet against the big guy.
Jamey
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He
sure looks impressive. Is that original
art?
Jon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, I altered an original piece I found on
the internet. It is concept art for the next release of the old Freedom Force
video game. It was drawn by Robb Waters. The character is Manbot. I did have to
alter the art to take out another character, Eve, which was standing in front
of him.
Tom
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Great editing job Tom, looks amazing.
IC: Adamas, barely moved by the punches,
says, "I'd love to test my strength against you, but my goal right now is
stopping this robot."
Adamas will grab the largest piece of
equipment he can find and tear it off the wall, hopefully something that will
impact the functionality of the larger machine.
He'll use that as a bludgeon to try to knock CyberDoom back through the
door he came through. I understand this is two actions, if I can't complete
both in this turn, Adamas will turn, and use the equipment as a shield to keep CyberDoom
at bay as he tears up the robot...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
William
watched as Laserfire blasted off back into the action.
“This is ridiculous” he mused to himself.
“I’m stuck here on medical duty and even the ones that get injured don’t need
my help!”
Dr Wildman was sensing his frustration at his
own limitations. He was a man of action. He’d survived pretty much any environment

William grabbed the first aid backpack and
slipped it over his shoulders. “Well as all the action seems to be moving
inside, I’m probably going to be of more use within than without.”
Dr Wildman sprints to the ankle door and
follows his companions up the stairs. If he encounters any non-friendlies he
will attempt to charm them with his Amulet of Charming. If he meets injured
friendlies he will administer a healing potion.
Steve
--------------------------------------------------------------------
StrikeForce IC: The Bionic Brawler enters the
area with the Two adversaries. Gripping his Escrima sticks he moves between
them and executes an attack pattern in an attempt to take out the combatants.
Before doing so he replies to them. "I would ask you to surrender, but it
seems that generic lackey must pay very well. Does your employer have Dental
and Medical? As it seems that you will both soon need it."
OOC: If He is able to stop them, he will
analyze their area to see if He can override any of the controls and possibly
pit a stop to this robot.
Jamey
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Patty smiled at Skink. "Thanks for the
save! But two dates in one night and people might start talking."
As soon as she can, she gets back on her feet
and runs to help Demolisher attack the robot's leg.
*I don't know if she can damage it with her
strength, but she does have the flaw of can't hold back in a fight so she likes
the idea of punching something that won't squish. Two rounds of defense with no
joy made her feel like she wasn't pulling her weight and she wants to impress
these folks.*

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I just
read the cover and thought “Oh crap!”
Now I have to see what happened!
March
--------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Is there something specific that The
Black Orchid noticed or is it a more general “Strike here... and then here...”
BIC: The Black Orchid runs to the hole
punched by Demolisher and starts moving through the corridors. “I need to shut
down those weapon systems before anybody gets seriously hurt”. Using her
understanding of power requirements and electrical conduits, The Black Orchid
will try to find the room for controlling the high energy weapons.
Also, sorry for missing last issue!
Marc
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It was the general strike here then there.
Tom
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah, no problem on missing an issue,
happens to us all.
I am really glad the cover elicits such a
response.
Tom
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Demolisher will just keep pounding on the
leg. "The bigger they are the
harder they fall!" If he can take
out the leg he will try and angle the robot so it doesn’t crush anything (or
anyone)
