[bash="Bug Girl dodges Fenris"]2,0,0 = 1998398745 = Fixed[/bash]

Fenris's right cross pops Bug Girl square in the face...

[bash="Bug Girl's Soak"]1,0,0 = 2146193928 = Fixed[/bash]

...drawing blood and a sharp cry of pain from her. As you draw back your fist, you realize a swarm of bugs has enveloped your fist and are trying to devour your hand!

Damage Aura 3, roll Fenris's Soak.

[bash="Bug Girl's D. Aura"]3,0,0 = 908534855 = Fixed[/bash]

Javi's next!

Damage Aura 3, roll Fenris's Soak.
Cool effect, but eww! Gaming is not for the squimish. ;D

I'm here to entertain and disgust

Oops, Overdrive's next, then Javier!

(Guess what? For now I... hold my action.)
//Where are you patient 2541?...//
Overdrive thinks, opening his eyes wide uselessly under the blindfold. As if he questioned the presence in the back of his head.

How much the danger sense can help with a blind hero?

Players NEVER hold their actions!!! What are you doing!!!!!

In response to your mental question, something wiggles in the back of your mind. It seems frightened and confused and angry, but distant for the moment...

Danger Sense will let you know if something's about to attack, that's about it. I'll get back to you at the end of the page!

Javi's next

[Rules Question: If I spend 1 point to give the Special Attack Burst Area, can I limit it to one square?]

Dustland · Post by **Dustland** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 8:09 pm

I'm inclined to say no because it can be a cheap way to overcome a weak Agility when attacking a single target.

What is it that you're targeting that you need to reduce the burst size anyway?

[Essentially I want the square where Bug Girl is standing to fire up and, yes, I was half-hoping to use the Burst rule to make sure it's an AE attack. The other half was just establishing the SFX that it's not a fireball attack, but a bonfire engulfing her.
Not sure if it's really that much of an exploit since the target still gets to make a Dodge roll to avoid the attack, but you're the GM.]

Bah, not worth really worrying about right now. If you wanted, you could target her in a 2x2 burst and still not hit anybody else, so go for it. Bonfire on!

[Very well then. I'm configuring this using the Special Attack Touch range, Small Burst, x6 damage]

"You know how you get rid of a bug infestation?" Javier screams. "You burn it out! WITH FIRE!!!"

His hands flare up and he thrusts them at the ground at the girl's feet. A column of flame erupts, engulfing her.

[bash="Damage"]6,0,0 = 769932661 [/bash]

[bash="Bug Girl dodges the inferno"]2,0,0 = 1227636670 = Fixed[/bash]
Takes full effect from the flames
[bash="Bug Girl soak"]1,0,0 = 1523810431 = Fixed[/bash]

The flames swirl around and over the Bug Girl's body, the smell of roasting flesh fills the ward's hallway, her screams ending quickly as the charred remains fall to the ground.

That was a spectacular amount of damage for one shot!

Nycto's next; you'll need to roll a Mind Defense first and beat Eckel's control roll. If you do, you can act normally!

[bash="Eckel tries to keep control of Nycto"]3,0,0 = 2057004095 [/bash]

I'll add an 4 HP for a total of 18 - the same value - so Nycto wins (the hero always wins)

Nycto retransforms into shadows, and sends a shadow tentacle crashing into the crazied doctor.

Nycto: The balding, red-headed Eckel is flung back in his cell by the shadowy attack, slamming into the padded wall and landing with a grunt.

"It would have been easier to just let go boy," he sneers, his green eyes flashing violently. He places a hand on the ground and the temperature throughout the ward drops precipitously. Frost crackles and coats the tiles, snaking up and around the door, then darting across to where you're standing.

The cold is like nothing you've ever felt before. Rather than the sensation of something cold brushing against you, you can feel the heat flow out of your feet and legs like water down a drain!

[bash="Dr Eckel's frost attack"]3,0,0 = 1674127143 [/bash]
[bash="frost damage"]3,0,0 = 1158573070 [/bash]
[bash="numbing cold"]3,0,0 = 1690041202 [/bash]
If Nycto takes any damage from the attack, he must make a Mind Def roll against the numbing cold, or suffer a Daze attack as well![/b]

What are the odds of that?!? Actually pretty good, but still

I'll finish the other Eckel's actions tomorrow then turn the page![/i]
