Violet sees Aegis take a swing at Mud and groans.
"Oh for the love of...," she thinks.
::Guys, she's been compromised,:: she sends to the team. ::I'm going to try to break her out of it.::
Violet narrows her eyes and pushes her will across the mindlink, focusing on Aegis.
::Saff... REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.::
As I recall, I didn't need to roll to hit her last time, but just in case, I'm going to roll to hit this time.

"Sorry, Aegis." Pulse says as a pink blob of energy starts to form around her hand like a glove. After a few seconds of hesitation, she lobs it underhanded at the other woman, her hesitation nearly causing her to miss.

The darkness never meant much to Blaze—at least when he was in his plasma state anyway (he could see heat signatures, after all). He cautiously floats out from the doorway, being sure to skirt over/around Aegis to investigate the hole in the vault…

Mud liquefies his body and shambles forward. Ostensibly it prevent his friend from hurting him. And, he can potentially find a hole into the vault...
Go Desol for half action and move 3"

Blaze's thermal vision is overwhelmed by the edges of the hole through the vault door, it's around 1400 degrees, but cooling. Not blinding, just so hot it keeps him from seeing through the hole

Hoping that Aegis will either be able to break free, or at least stay busy with Mud while she recoups her reserves, Violet's Phase 12 action is to drop her Force Field and take a recovery.

Pulse shakes her head, face moving into a grimace.
"Wake up, Aegis!" she yells as her forcefield flashes to life, she scoops energy from the air as she hurls a small light show at Aegis.

Blaze is up
Barry "Blaze" Wind |
::I can't see what's happening inside. The bore hole's heat is overwhelming my thermal sight::
He had a pretty good idea, given his imagination. Whatever they were after in there, they probably had it already. All they needed to do was invoke their exit strategy.
For now, he acted as cover, hoping he wouldn't have to fire on Aegis.
Holding action
Saffron "Aegis" Sinclair |
If "Blaze" wasn't moving up and "Mud" was now untouchable Aegis prepared for whatever attack she thought they were planning and braced herself for the hit.

Phase 12
Mud moves closer to the vault and examines the hole and wonders if he could move through it without the heat scarring him.
He also listens and feels inside the vault.
Perception: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2) = 12
mdt |
Mud doesn't hear anything from in the vault except for small pings from the door as the metal in it cools and contracts from the formerly expansion state from being burned through. The door is 2 ft thick, and Mud is unsure if he could flow through without touching the sides.
He may attempt it, but it requires a Dex check at a -3 to get through without touching the sides

Segment 3
Violet sighs, wishing there was more she could do than prod Aegis' mind once again, trying to break through the noise.
::Remember that day I tried to get you to wear a skirt and heels to the investors meeting? And you hated it? SO MUCH? C'mon... Remember who you ARE.::
No attack roll due to Mind Link, per previous notes.

Pulse will hold and maintain her forcefield. The only thing I have causes major problems later. So deleting that.

Pulse takes a moment to listen for any radio waves. Doc Shock had threatened to rip out her spinal cord, but whatever; they needed information, and if he was communicating telepathically, whatever she could glean would be better than nothing.

Aegis was unsure why the enemy had started mocking her attire but refused to let it get the best of her, she other things to focus on.
She would move to attack the nearest "enemy". Which I think is Blaze

Barry "Blaze" Wind |
Blaze, on the subject of being attacked by Aegis, reacted as only Blaze could…
"EEEE!"
He backed away from her, putting some space between himself and Aegis. Given the confined space, that wasn't very much.
Half move back about 5"
::Guys, she took a swing at me. I don't think I need to tell you what's likely to happen if she ever connects, do I? I really don't want to immolate her. I mean I really really really don't want to do that…::
Especially since the only reaction he'd get was one of either slight amusement or pissing Aegis off.

Crit yes, which means you do max damage, as location is meaningless for your power, so 4 segments blind and 12 stun
Heat Damage, Mud: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) = 14
Mud takes 14 body, 42 stun, before defenses
The inside of the hole is still glowing red, and Mud accidentally touches the edges of the hole several times making minor burns but nothing that gets through his defenses, until he over reacts to an accidental brush and gets a good solid hit on the metal. The pain makes him react and ends up causing worse damage. Ego Save to not jerk yourself out, if you want to continue pushing through the hole.
"Mud" Adam Storn |
14 -15 = body & 42 - 15 = 27 25% damage redux = 20 Stun. 54 -20 =34/64 Stun
Mud jerks back and waves his arm attempting to take the sting out of it.

Waiting on any information from previous radio perception roll. Previous perception and decryptions were successes by 5 on perception and 9 on decryption. Aegis is blind til 9:1, so Pulse will take a recovery. If she can also make a perception roll while recovering, she'll keep listening for enemy comms, and trying to decrypt them. If it's clear she can monkey with whatever they're doing, based on comms (like messing with any wireless interfacing he might be doing on the other side), assume she'd do that instead. Violet and Blaze are up.
::If I keep hitting her, she's going to go down, and that's just win-win for the bad guys. It's draining for you to keep your stuff like mind control going, right Violet? If so, maybe Circe's stuck keeping her MC'd. I'm going to try to get my wind back. Hard to breathe. Hard to throw flashballs. Hard to hit Aegis at all.:: Her forcefield flickers out again, giving her another chance for a breather. Despite that, her concentration is still focused on the air waves.

Sorry, with the board going up and down, forgot to post. Pulse isn't picking anything up. But the vault door is metal, so it'd probably be blocking most if not all of any signals. Pulse would almost have to stand next to the hole in it to pick up on anything.
2nd Turn, post teleport

Violet wrinkles her nose and squints in Aegis' direction.
::I can keep up my attempts to break her out of control for a while, she shoots back to Pulse. I'm not quite Snuggle fresh, right now, but I'm sort of daisy fresh, so... yeah... I've got a few more rounds left, coach.::
She takes a deep breath, and lets it out in one big whoosh. ::But if I'm going to keep poking her with a stick like the late, great, Steve Irwin, I'm going to need a helmet.::
Violet shuts her eyes and reactivates her Force Field.
Her eyes snap open, and she fixes her gaze on Aegis once more.
::You hate it when I remind you not to get tanked up before business meetings!:: she says over the mindlink toward Aegis. ::REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, DAMN IT!::
10d6 Mind Control, ONE! MORE! TIME!: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 3, 5, 4, 1, 5, 1, 1) = 33

Violet, you still need to actually roll to hit, you could crit, which would give her a major bonus to break the roll. The mind link went down to Aegis the first time you attacked over it. Aegis gets another Ego check at -5 due to the mind control attempt.
Project Violet |
I’ve attacked her twice over the mindlink and I didn’t see you mention it going down after the first attack. I specifically called out our previous statements where it had been determined no roll was necessary, and asked if that was the case before proceeding. The second attempt was made with no roll and no mention of the link being down, so the third was made in the same belief. I’ll keep this in mind going forward.
Project Violet |
No worries, my reply wasn't supposed to be a complaint, either. I ended up cutting it short because I was on my phone and the forums complain every time I am. I know with the way the forums have been lately, it's very likely that we've all missed something here or there that we otherwise wouldn't have. I'm not complaining, I am sincere when I say I'll keep it in mind going forward. I want to cause you as few headaches as possible. :)

Segment 6
Mud stands near the hole and feels for the vibrations inside the vault wondering if they are still in there.
Perception: 12 - 3d6 ⇒ 12 - (1, 1, 6) = 4

Mud can hear mumbling with his ears, but is not picking up any vibrations. Either they are standing still, or the door is so thick and heavy that the vibrations aren't making it through.

Project Violet |
Seeing that Aegis has stopped moving and appears to be waiting for the team to make the first move, Violet allows herself to drop to the ground (or at least lets the soles of her shoes touch the ground), and lets out a deep, exasperated sigh, followed by a string of profanity over the mindlink.
::I need a drink. I need two drinks. Someone bring me all the drinks. And pie. I HATE THIS CRAP.::
::Nobody touch Saff for a bit,:: she tells the team. ::See what she does.::
Leaving her force field running, Violet pauses to see what Aegis' next move is.
Holding action to attempt to whammy Aegis if necessary.

"Aegis. It's me, Pulse. I know that you're still okay in there. Circe f~*#ed with you pretty bad. But we aren't leaving without you. The bad guys are in that room over there, and I know you're affected by my stuff because you're magnetic. Remember the stuff we got for each other? Your superhero costume shirt? The alcohol from Violet? That you binge drank? Shush Violet. I know. I know you're still you. And damn it, Circe can't have you because you're mine."
Barry "Blaze" Wind |
Blaze watched cautiously, hoping Aegis broke out of whatever mental mind-boink she was under. He had no way to increase his defenses, so his only defense was a strong offense…which meant possibly frying her.
Blaze holding action.
Project Violet |
Violet thinks about tacos and euphemisms that involve tacos and a bajillion other things regarding tacos, but doesn't take any offensive action toward Aegis.
She does not, however, drop her Force Field, choosing instead to back away toward the stairwell, just in case.

Still blinded and surrounded Aegis would try to find a safe place to hide for now hoping to wait out the giant ball of bright hate that was now her vision.

If able to make any kind of cover she'd hide behind it for the time being.
Project Violet |
That is correct. Violet is trying not to seem like an enemy to an obviously hostile opponent.
Barry "Blaze" Wind |
So far, so good. Maybe it was safe enough to relax just a scosh…
End of phase, take a recovery.
