William interlocked his fingers and pushed out
letting his fingers click as he stretched his arms out. He watched as the human
skin turned rough, scaled, and green. The 'Armour' spell never ceased to
unnerve him, but it was a necessary and often lifesaving part of his mystic
arsenal. He shook out his hands and watched as lightning arced between his
fingers.
"Here we go then..." he mused as the
Cloak of Storms lifted him into the air. He flew towards the din of battle.
As William glides towards the melee in a
standing position, with his newly reacquired Cloak of Storms billowing behind
him he speaks over the shared comms: “Hello everyone. So, not to put too finer
point on this but about 500 feet below us is a deathly hollow of a cave hiding
a device designed to mentally control whole communities of people. It’s
currently being occupied by Dr Dumbledork and his Hogwarts rejects. Anyway,
I've just escaped from there, so we probably need to wrap this up pretty quick
- as they are probably not too far behind me!"
Inside the lab
[7]
Listening to Dr. Wildman's update via radio, Patty chuckled ruefully.
"Well, we knew this would get pear-shaped sooner or later, but it sounds
like a pretty prickly pear!! We gotta take this little trash out quick,
everyone!!"
Realizing
Enforcer is being impeded from using his big ordinance, she grabbed a nearby
SLAM {SLAM 10} and tossed it away from her into a clear area of the room
so Enforcer could hit it with explosive rounds.
Patty
grabbed the Android Tech by the shoulders, lifted him up and threw him away
from the scrum.
WHAM!
SLAM 10 flew into the wall on the other
side of the lab. SLAM 10 fell prone to the floor. It rolled with the damage and
was still able to fight.
{GM
Note: Patty Plus needed 13 or less to grab and throw. She rolled a 10. SLAM 10
was tossed for 7” from damage points rolled. Its mass roll was 2. SLAM 10 flew
5 inches into the wall taking 1 point of damage to its power points. It failed
its Agility Save and is now prone}
[5]
StrikeForce continued to fight the SLAMs in the room.
WHIFF!
StrikeForce
missed with his first escrima attack as the android side stepped the blow.
{GM
Note: StrikeForce needed a 16 or less, he rolled a 19, missed.}
WHIFF!
StrikeForce
missed with his second escrima attack as the android used his large tool to
redirect the strike away from him.
{GM
Note: StrikeForce needed a 16 or less, he rolled an 18, missed.}
[4]
Powercell sidestepped to have clear shots at SLAM 2 and 9. “Good strategy,
Patty! We need to spread them out to give all a better chance at taking them
down.” Powercell fired 2 lightning bolts, one each at SLAM 2 and 9
KKZZKTT! The lightning bolt hit SLAM 2. It dropped to
the floor in a spasm of twitches and jerks as its circuits fried and fused
together. It was incapacitated
{GM
Note: Powercell needed a 12 or less, rolled a 13, He hit for 17 points of
damage. The android’s protection stopped 3 points of damage. It rolled with 4
points to Power Points. SLAM 2 had only 2 Hit Points. The remainder went to
Power Points for a total reduction of 12 points to Power. SLAM 2 was
incapacitated.}
KKZZKTT! The lightning bolt missed SLAM 9.
{GM
Note: Powercell needed a 12 or less, rolled a 16, missed.}
[3]
SLAM 3 said, “We often miss opportunity to beat you down because it’s dressed
in sweat and blood and looks like work, but I am willing to put it the work to
end you” It swung its large weapon at StrikeForce
BAM!
The
Large tool struck StrikeForce in the shoulder. He rolled with the damage and is
still able to fight.
{GM
Note: SLAM 3 needed 15 or less, rolled 9. The android did 10 points of damage.
StrikeForce’s protection stopped 6 points of damage, rolling with the remaining
4 points of damage. -4 to Power Points. He is still able to fight}
[2]
Demy peripherally saw the ensuing fight between the New Crusaders and these
mechanicals.
It
looked like the team was making some progress on taking out these androids,
just not fast enough.
After
gauging the initial attacks, Demy figured it best to focus fire on specific
targets who appeared to be damaged most to deplete their numbers.
Patty
was holding her own, but he wanted to ensure she wasn't overwhelmed.
M.I.S.H.A.
was a mass of swinging limbs, claws, and her ferocious visage. Funny how this was, he wasn't certain if this
was by design by her creators, but he saw (felt?) that she was
becoming.....more....intense came to mind.
Perhaps it was to incite fear and intimidation or was it something
else?).
If
M.I.S.H.A. experienced any pain from the damage received to her leg, Rubicon
didn't feel it.
"Oprovergat'
....", Demy said as he observed his H.U.D. of M.I.S.H.A.'s operating
system details, she was imposing redirection of her energies to initiate
self-healing. Hopefully that would last
so she could continue to help Patty draw attention in the fight.
Just
then, outside the building at about the same time hearing Dr. Wildman's warning
of impending danger, Demy heard a rumble and felt the now familiar vibrations
that could only be Erdbeben. He was
hopeful this was a good thing and was holding his own out there.
"Da!",
Demy said in response to Dr. Wildman over the commlink. "Call it if we
need to exfil and rendezvous to next location".
Demy
took aim again to increase his hit chance and fired at SLAM 8.
BLAM!
The
shot hit SLAM 8 in the chest. It rolled with the damage. It was still able to
fight.
{GM
Note: Rubicon need 15 or less, rolled a 5. He rolled 9 points of damage. SLAM
8’s protection stopped 4 of the damage points. It rolled with the remaining 5
to Power Points. It could still fight}
He
had M.I.S.H.A. multi-attack. M.I.S.H.A. bit into SLAM 5.
CHOMP!
The
android jerk and jolted in the maw of the Cybernetic Bear. It stopped
functioning powering down as all its systems shut down.
{GM
Note: M.I.S.H.A. need 8 or less, rolled a 3. She rolled 12 points of damage.
SLAM 5’s protections stopped 4. It rolled with 4 points to Power Points. SLAM 5
had only 2 Hit Points left. It is incapacitated.}
M.I.S.H.A.
switched her claw attacks to SLAM 1.
WHIFF!
M.I.S.H.A.’s
claw swipe missed as SLAM 1 ducked under it.
{GM
Note: M.I.S.H.A. need 6 or less, rolled a 9, missed.}
WHIFF!
M.I.S.H.A’s
claw swipe missed as SLAM 1 jumped backwards in time to avoid it.
{GM
Note: M.I.S.H.A. need 6 or less, rolled a 16, missed.}
"Da!",
Demy said in response to Dr. Wildman over the commlink. "Call it if we
need to exfil and rendezvous to next location".
"Roger
that; will keep eyes on the skies" replied Dr Wildman as he floated
towards the cacophony of collapsing buildings and combating androids. From his
vantage point he scans the horizon for incoming mystics!
[2]
SLAM 10 stood up. “Grit is what stands the test of combat. I have grit down to
my circuits, what about you?”
[1]
Enforcer said, “I have the bullet especially made to remove grit.” He fired at
SLAM 10.
KABOOM!
SLAM
10 was engulfed in the bullet explosion. When the smoke cleared SLAM 10 laying
on the ground incapacitated with pieces of it missing.
{GM
Note: Enforcer fired an area attack. He needed to roll 19 or less to hit the
spot, rolled an 11. SLAM 10 tried to dive out of the 3” area blast. It needed
an 8 or less (Defense of 2 plus 9 minus 9, 3 for every 1 inch in the area
attack, plus 6 for diving to land prone. It rolled 13. SLAM 10 failed. The
explosion caused 15 points of damage. Android’s protection stopped 3 points. It
rolled with 4 points to Power Points. It took 8 points of damage to Hit Points.
That is all it had left. SLAM 10 was incapacitated.}
[1]
SLAM 8 attempted to move next to M.I.S.H.A. Patty blocked its path preventing
it from getting closer to her teammate’s companion. SLAM 8 said “We are all
connected; To each other, by my weapon!” It swung its large tool at Patty.
BAM!
SLAM
8 struck Patty’s shield, she rolled with the blow which penetrated her
shielding. Patty still could fight.
{GM
Note: SLAM 8 tried to move through Patty’ zone of control. Since she tried to
stop it, it had to roll a save vs a Target of 7 (10 plus its Defense of 2 minus
Patty’s Defense of 5), rolled 9. Patty prevented SLAM 8 from moving.
SLAM
8 needed 12 or less to hit Patty, rolled 3. It did 9 points of damage. 7 points
were stopped by reflection leaving 2 points to reduce her Power Points.
Patty
needed 12 or less to reflect the 7 points of damage to SLAM 8, rolled 20 and
12. Missed}
{GM
Note: Section 4.14 Combat Maneuvers on page 114 starts the section with certain
unique fighting situations require special modifications to the basic combat
rules.
Section
4.144 on page 116 are the special modifications for Coordinate Attack. Groups
of characters may attempt to combine their attacks by attacking simultaneously.
All of the participants must attack on the same phase. Each attacker suffers a
-3 penalty to hit.
Each
of the participants who hits rolls damage. Protection is applied separately vs
the damage for each hit, but the target may only roll vs damage once, divided
amount all of the simultaneous attacks (round down).
I
am providing the rules because the SLAM 1 and 9 are performing a Coordinated
Attack against M.I.S.H.A.}
[1]
SLAM 1 and 9 swung their weapons at M.I.S.H.A. in a coordinated attack to bring
the Cyber Beast down. SLAM 1 said, “Science advances one funeral at a time” and
SLAM 9 replied, “I believe that I am supposed to make that funeral this foul
beast’s.”
WHAM!
WHAM! Both
attacks hit M.I.S.H.A. M.I.S.H.A. flew into the wall next to StrikeForce. It
was knocked prone.
The
Cyber Bear was hurt, lying on the floor but still able to fight.
{GM
Note: SLAM 1 needed 14 or less to hit M.I.S.H.A., rolled 4. It did 6 points of
damage. M.I.S.H.A rolled with 2 points to its Power Points. M.I.S.H.A. received
4 points of damage to Hit Points}
{GM
Note: SLAM 9 needed 14 or less to hit M.I.S.H.A., rolled 3. It did 13 points of
damage. M.I.S.H.A rolled with 2 points to its Power Points. M.I.S.H.A. received
11 points of damage to Hit Points M.I.S.H.A rolled 6 for Mass roll. M.I.S.H.A
was knocked back 25 feet. After 5 feet, M.I.S.H.A smashed into the wall making
a 3 inch hole. Since that is too small for M.I.S.H.A. to go through it took 4
points of damage from hitting the wall. M.I.S.H.A. rolled with -4 to Power
Points. M.I.S.H.A had to make an Agility save not to fall prone of the floor.
It needed an 11 or less, rolled a 14. M.I.S.H.A. is prone. M.I.S.H.A. will have
to spend it full turn getting up or attempt an Agility save to get using all
its movement or its action for the turn}
[7]
Invisible, Black Orchid is continuing to lock in Cyberians and Robots until she
feels they are mostly pulled in I assume that will take the whole round. Black
Orchid noticed someone was changing mission parameters on the Skyberions. She
pulled up the area of the system. Cyberdoom was changing their mission from
protecting and capturing intruders to the Island to attacking the New Crusaders
on the base. Tracing the network connections Black Orchid discovered that
Cyberdoom was in the underwater base that Adamas had spotted. She scoured the
network and found where the Seaberions mission parameters were kept. Analyzing
her options she could:
·
Oppose
the Skyberions reprogramming that Cyberdoom was doing
·
Reprogram
the Seaberions to attack the underwater base and Cyberdoom
·
Reinforce
her programming which had the buildings in lock down which kept the Cyberions
was moving
·
Shut
down the underwater tubes shuttle system which would between movement between
islands and the underwater base
·
Shutdown
3 gigantic Dynamos which powered the majority of island except for the ones
with offline backup generators
{GM
Note: This will use the Opposition to Saves/Tasks rules in Section 3.0.2.4.
Black Orchid would use her Intelligence save value of 14. She can spend 2 Power
Points for +2 to Save target. Cyberdoom will oppose will be a minus to the
target for every point over 10. Black Orchid can use 1 action to perform a Task
and all movement to perform a Task; 2 Tasks/Saves per turn}
"Roger
that; will keep eyes on the skies" replied Dr Wildman as he floated
towards the cacophony of collapsing buildings and combating androids. From his
vantage point he scans the horizon for incoming mystics!

If there is no sign of impending arcane assault he will float down to Blizzard
in the airship and administer a healing potion to the downed cryogenic
Crusader.
Blizzard
healed and tried to wake up but didn’t
{GM
Note: Blizzard needed to roll a 7 or less, rolled 15}

Erdbeben coughed and spat as the dust and debris settled from most of the
building collapsing. The explosion on the other side of the building didn't
help either.
He
was a little disappointed to see most of the killbots getting up. He'd hoped
they would have been taken down by the building.
Looking
around at all of the destruction, he was beginning to feel a bit like a psycho
kill in a land down under.
Either
way, the job wasn't finished. He targeted the closest two killbots and fired a
vibration blast at each of them.
VARR! The vibe blast hit Worker 1. It withstood the
blast rolling with less than half the damage, but it didn’t fall. Worker 1 was
still able to fight.
{GM Note: Erdbeben needed 13 or less to hit, rolled 12. Erdbeben did 17
points of damage. The Androids protection stopped 4 points. It rolled with 5
points reducing its Power Points and had -8 to Hit Points. It still has Hit
Points left so it can still fight}
VARR! The vibe blast hit Worker 3. It withstood the
blast rolling with more than half the damage, but it didn’t fall. Worker 3 was
still able to fight.
{GM Note: Erdbeben needed 13 or less to hit, rolled 2. Erdbeben did 11
points of damage. The Androids protection stopped 4 points. It rolled with 5
points reducing its Power Points and had -2 to Hit Points. It still has Hit
Points left so it can still fight}
[4]
Worker 1 said, “Okay, so that is how you want to be. We’ll dance until morning,
‘til there’s just you and me.” Worker 1 fired his blaster at Erdbeben.
VOOM! The power blast from the blaster pistol hit
Erdbeben. He rolled with the damage and was still able to fight.
{GM Note: Worker 1 needed 11 or less to hit, rolled 4. Erdbeben is in
heavy cover, on 14 or less the cover protects him, rolled 17. It rolled 4
points of damage. Erdbeben rolled with 3 damage to Power Points. -1 to Hit
Points. He has more than half his Hit Points. He could still fight}
[3]
Worker 5 ran toward Erdbeben, yelling “Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
because you bring that house down on top of me, isn’t it a pity I didn’t stay
down too?” It swung a fist at Erdbeben.
SWISH!
Worker
5’s attack missed.
{GM Note: Worker 5 needed 9 or less to hit, rolled 11, missed.}
[2]
Worker 3 said, “even if time ain’t really on my side It’s one of those days for
take the fight to your side.” He fired his pistol blaster at Erdbeben
VOOM! The power blast from the blaster pistol hit
Erdbeben. He rolled with the damage and was still able to fight.
{GM Note: Worker 3 needed 11 or less to hit, rolled 3. Erdbeben is in light
cover, on 6 or less the cover protects him, rolled 17. It rolled 4 points of
damage. Erdbeben rolled with 3 damage to Power Points. -1 to Hit Points. He has
more than half his Hit Points. He could still fight}
[0]

heal 1 extra. Rolled 6 and 10. Healed 1 extra Power Point}

He

Claw/Claw/Bite attacks on SLAM 5, switching her next attack to SLAM 1, then
SLAM 9 should any fall along the way.
