Justice League Generations (Inactive)

Game Master tumbler

I didn't roll saves because I don't know how many targets I was able to attack. I have no problem rolling them, but I won't presume to decide how many targets were in range.
While on the subject, I have no problem with tumbler rolling saves for me when necessary, either.

It will make the game most fluid if you guys roll saves for your opponents and I roll saves for you. It allows you to take an action and then describe the results of the action, and for me to do the same. That way your action is all resolved in your post. Either of us can add a little flavor when we respond to a post if desirable or necessary.

As for now, we are in Round 2 and still need actions from Shudder and Redwood, then I will take actions and do a good summary of round 2 and clarify the initiative for round 3

+ Look at you you can't even hurt it some hero you are. You should just hide like the rat you are.+

With that he forms a giant rat and it attacks the giant robot. The GR surprisingly dodges it.

Ref GR: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

The dc is 22 and of course it rolls a nat 20.

Debbie tries her best not to grin at the the success of her assualt. A highly inappropriate "HA!" escapes her giant mouth, spawned from a combination of panicky surprise and bloodthristy glee.

Despite the volume of her guffaw, its sound is potentially drowned out by the onslaught that followed. The sheer force of attacks from the menagrie of super powered individuals nearly brought the enormous mechanized titan to its knees.

Seeing no reason to shake up her approach, Debbie advanced, planting her bare feet where a sidewalk had just been, and throws an uppercut into the giants jaw. She couldn't help but imagine her son's most played videogame and how often he impersonated his favorite characters signature move. How did that go? Hadoukem?
Hadouking?

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
-4 All out Attack. +2 Damage from power Attack. Defense is currently 0. Toughness DC for GR is 29.

GR Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
I believe that's correct.

Flechetes of alloy cascade from the robots glowing mouth as Debbie's truck sized fist plows into the underside of it. The massive metal monstrosity teeters uneasily from the impact as Debbie's determined grin is lit up by the sparks of the damaged machine. I CAN do this...Hmph. There was never any doubt.

This would be a Shoryuken...not sure if getting it THAT wrong was intentional or not. =)

Thought it'd be funnier if it entered face palm territory. Hey! Debbie is a very busy lady with a lot of filters.

What is this Earth game you speak off?
We have no such thing on my planet.
Unless you count hunting for Snorks with a Lorph blaster.

Sorry, I am away from home and my internet has been unreliable.

The newly arrive heroes gang up on the giant robot, only Shadow Star taking care of additional smaller drones.

The Giant Robot shakes and attempts to move toward its attackers, but is overwhelmed with damage. Its homing missiles return to attack The Shield, Sinter, Patrick, and Shudder, hitting only Shudder. The missile penetrates deeply into his energy form, exploding in a massive explosion, briefly disrupting Shudder before he reforms.

Wow, hit the only guy who could easily absorb that.

GIANT ROBOT ATTACK: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
GIANT ROBOT ATTACK: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18
GIANT ROBOT ATTACK: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
GIANT ROBOT ATTACK: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

More to come soon.

Just lost a huge post to network problems.

Six Tri-Tanks move in on Knightingale and Arrow at the gash in the wall of the Hall, overwhelming them in a flurry of rockets and mouth cannons, leaving behind a cloud of smoke, dust, and flying bits of molten rubble.

At the same time, six more Tri-Tanks move to reinforce the Giant Robot, attacking those who are attacking it. They fire mouth cannons, hitting only Sinter, who is clouded with energy for a moment before regaining his already sketchy form. Lost those rolls in the previous post.

Six Buzz Bots retract their blasters and extrude articulated arms ending in glowing green pincers. They swarm Supergirl, somehow overcoming her speed and defenses and grabbing her with their pincers. She seems to sag in their grasp, unable to fight back. Probably not everyone knows about Kryptonite

Another group six Buzz bots pull away from Shadow Star, launching a burst of rocketry toward him, filling the darkness around him with explosions. Shadow Star is buffeted by the explosions, but misses out on the worst of the damage. 1 bruise

Shadow Star Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Shadow Star Toughness: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Supergirl, Arrow, and Knightingale are out of commision at the moment.

The Shield turns his attention to Shudder and says in an amplified voice. "The energy signature of the Mech's blast is the same as the one that jerk is firing. He must be controlling it. Take him out!"

He flies toward Shudder, slamming an elbow into his force field protected face.

Shield attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Shudder Toughness: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 1 Bruise to Shudder. Shudder gets one Hero Point for Yellow Ring complication.

Warhawk turns his head as though surprised by something, and turns to fly through the hole in the side of the Hall.

Round 3 begins
Initiative Groups
Group 1: Robo, Shadow Star, and Shudder
Group 2: Rest of the PCs
Group 3: Robots then NPC heroes

Status:
Warhawk in the Hall.

Supergirl bound by Buzz Bots.

Arrow and Knightingale lost in smoke.

The Shield engaged with Shudder.

Giant Robot tougness is at +13.

I'm going to hold back on The Shield's stats for a bit.

Shadow Star shakes off the strain of his effort and sees little result from his action .
There are just too many of the smaller robots.

uses hero point to cancel cost of extra effort

Taking out fliers isn't slowing them down, maybe taking out the battle ship will reduce their firepower.

He remembers his Father saying that sometime, in a battle, it's best to get the tanks out of the way before the troops can be stopped.
Let's try that.

tries another alternate with another extra effort
Alternate Power: Shadow Blast R12, Autofire (+12 to hit, T DC 27 +1 per 2 pts Att exceeds Def)
Normally +12 to hit with ranged, Power attack makes it +7; BigBoy def is -3 and it looks like toughness is down to 14.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Base power of attack 12 + 5 from PA + 5 from Autofire makes this a power 22 attack

Robot's T save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Fails by 15, which should be down and out, dependent upon other powers it might have.

Edit: toughness 13, still works

I'm still unsure on how some of my powers interact with robots who are immune to will saves. For instance, my EMP Cloud (Nullify 10) attack counters all powers of Technological descriptors, but it is against Will. Sorry if I'm being dense, the holiday season's left me all scatterbrained. Would it have to be changed to vs. Toughness (via Extra: Alternate Save (Toughness) for 0/r)?If so, let's go with that. I'll leave the rolling up to you because I'm not sure what it would work against

EMP Cloud (Nullify 10) (Array; counters: all powers of (type) - technological, DC 20; Cloud Area (50-250 ft diameter, lingers - General); Progression, Increase Area 2 (area x5))

These robots-- the "buzzbots", tri-tanks, and The Big One-- all seemed oddly familiar. Not something fully carried out to production, but something that he gleaned in the past while working...

Captain Robo made a quick scan of the area. Kara and her goons, the 'bots, The Shield...Eh, why not?

Swarms of nanites buzz their way around the battlefieldand form a cloud-like mass around the bulk of the action. When in place, they begin to glow around anything technological, releasing EMP bursts. Among the casualties: street lights, cellphones, and a car or two. All worth it given the situation.
250ft around the biggun and whatever bots are around it.

It is an opposed roll of your rank(10)vs either will or the power you are nullifying, whichever is higher.

Seeing that Supergirl is in distress Sinter changes targets.

He starts blasting buzzbots. Wanting to be precise and not hit supergirl, he forgoes power attack.

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 toughness: 1d20 ⇒ 4 fail minion, so kaboom.

"We gotta save Supergirl!"

(a la nanny-nanny-boo-boo) Sinter-is-a-fan-boy

On the EMP, it looks like what you do is roll one power roll and then the effects you are Nullifying get an opposed roll to beat your roll. I would think you should change the save to a Fortitude save or even reflex. For most effects that are maxed out, it is going to end up being the rank of the effect anyway. Also note that it affects insubstantial, so Imagine is not immune. Also note that you have it as an area and lingers, which means targets can try to turn their effects back on every round and then make an opposed check to not be turned back off. If you want it to Nullify for a duration, you would have to buy an increased duration

In this case, to make things faster, I am going to roll your check for you.

Captain Robo EMP: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

The Shield and Shudder are swarmed by the nanite cloud like a swarm of angry fireflies. Shudder is unaffected, but most of the Shields powers come from being infected with Graviton controlling nanites of his own. Most of the patriotic hero's systems hold up, but his flight control is momentarily disrupted and he plummets toward the grass below.

The Shield resisting EMP: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31
The Shield resisting EMP: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
The Shield resisting EMP: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
The Shield resisting EMP: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
The Shield resisting EMP: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Imagine and anyone else within 250 feet of the Giant Robot who has powers with electronic descriptors or would be affected by an EMP must check their Will save or power rank, which ever is higher, against a DC 18 or have that power turned off.

Shudder's turn and then everyone else.

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
I'm sorry if I'm doing this wrong. My L-phone has some skill levels in it, so I'd just add how many PPs it's worth?? Also, um, huh, here's a quick question: Since it's "area of effect" wouldn't Robo also need to save against it? :}

Imagine's Z-belt seems to blink for a second, but it returns to full function. Her phone, on the other hand, suddenly stops playing "Shake It Off." She taps her bluetooth a few times but gets no response. Her gaze falls upon Neil and she is NOT happy.

Tumbler: thanks for the clarification and the roll. Had a late night at work.
Imagine: He has immunity: uncommon (EMP) just for this kind of occasion (also because that is a major weakness of his outside the suit). ALSO, those soldiers of yours are going to need to get a check too;) Captain Robo sure seems to have it out for you right now.

Not sure if I'm in range, but the communicate power on my amulet is low powered.
Let's see if a Will save helps

Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

And I don't understand English 'till I can re-start it.
Very thematic for a meet-and-beat story.

You would use the skill ranks, not the points invested in them. I'm not sure the Security guards are that close, but I will let Imagine decide.

Oh no no no. Captain tight-pants paid good points for that power, so I should oblige him. =-) Mind you, for simplicity sake I'm just making one roll per minion, since both their weapon and the armor's rating are both 8. That gives 50% chance, which is fair.

For Imagine the rest of the battle falls away to meaninglessness. Someone toasted her phone, and someone was going to get a message about acceptable behavior.

Power Check-M1nd C0ntr0l--==<<((subtle))>>==--: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Paging Captain Robo, paging Captain Robo. Please make a Will save DC 22 or start to think that you're a ballerina. ^_^

Notice vs Imagine: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Seeing that multiple supposed heroes have decided to fight among themselves, Patrick snaps at them.

"Pay attention to the GIANT FRICKIN' ROBOT you incompetent morons! What are you, twelve? Do your damn jobs or get out of my way, I don't care which!"

"Here, it's NOT THAT HARD." He says as he sharpens a piece of concrete into a spear and lets fly.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Robot Toughness: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Another two degrees of failure.

In the frenzy of the frenetic combat, chaos reigns, and a cacophony of noise threatens to blot out all other sound. However, even above all the distractions, for a moment, a high keening sound can heard. It starts as a low hum, growing to a low thrum, though over the course of only a mere moment.

A blur of grey sweeps through the combat zone at sonic speeds, striking out at the giant robot with a flash of light. A silvery pinging sound, like the ringing of a clear silver bell rings out across the battlefield.

Initiative: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (7) + 38 = 45
Sword Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 5 = 14
Save DC: 31 + 5 = 36
Giant Robot's Toughness Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Failure by 21... ouch.

The newcomer slams to a stop some 60 ft beyond the giant walker, his feet tearing up the concrete as he skids to a halt. A pile of concrete chunks, gravel, and loose turf climbs up to one side of the speedster, as if he was a meteor or a spacecraft crashing to earth. Stretched out behind him he is holding an unusually long sword, the silvery blade perhaps slightly longer than he is tall, in addition to an over-sized handle.

The massive robot shifts it's optics, slowly turning to try and track the newcomer. However, the movement causes some sort of breach in the super-structure to give way, and the construct's main chassis shifts in two different directions, one up, and one down, reveling the previously damaged main body to have been entirely bisected. Energy flares inside for a split second, before the entire thing is ripped apart by an explosion.

Given it's a construct, I'm presuming it can't gain the 'Dying Condition,' and that destruction would be appropriate (unless its manned or something of course. Feel free to modify the description if it takes too many liberties...)

The newcomer stands up to his full modest height, and lowers his sword slightly. He speaks in a loud, clear voice. "My apologies for being late. I was in Central City."

My Martian Manhunter inspired character just wasn't coming together for me. As a result, I went with a speedster instead. Quick version, you can kind of think of him as an alternate reality version of the Flash, but coming from a medieval high-gravity dimension. This makes him a lot more Tank-like that the traditional High-Accuracy role played by speedsters, but I like the variation. Basically makes him into a high speed brick that can smash through walls, should he wish...

Yeah, the Giant Robot was in terrible shape. The only addition being that

as The Giant Robot of Doom falls apart, a glowing yellow sphere about the size of a softball rockets skyward.

Is the combat over, or do we need to break more things? =)

There is still The Shield, and the robots destroying Supergirl.

Yeah, the Giant Robot was in terrible shape. The only addition being that

as The Giant Robot of Doom falls apart, a glowing yellow sphere about the size of a softball rockets skyward.

All the better for making my entrance. Nothing like one shotting the big bad (even if he was pretty much smashed to pieces already) to assist in making your first appearance memorable.

A new figure enters the battle, though he's somewhat familiar- I'm just not sure from where.

"Berandu dut nire apologies. Central City nengoen.", he says.

Huh? Now the translator fails? Great.
shakes translator
tries speaking
"The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."
hears "Espainian euri, batez ere, lautada batean."

OK, it's translating, at least.
I wonder what language that is.

Well, let's see.
The Bot's down, so gray guy should be on the side of the League.
And Supergirl, of course.
Other than that, anyone destroying bots is likely here to help the League, as well.
Likely.
Mama told me there's be days like this.
#%@**^%>!

Will save vs Imagine's Mind Control: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
A familiar itch crawled into Neil's mind. "Kara!"
For someone whose mind runs a thousand times faster than an ordinary human, he should probably have some sort of mind shielding of some sort OR perhaps Kara could receive a hero point when she realizes forming a mental link with a human computer could cause some feedback

I'm a bit confused about who is up now.

This round we've had:

Imagine
Captain Robo
Shadow-Star
Imagine again w/ the mind control
Forzare
Sʜᴀʟε

Still to act:

Sinter
Redwood
Shudder

To be fair, You have a Will save 9, which is pretty good, so I expected you to save anyway. Now be quiet and do a pirouette. :p

I've only gone once this round, the first action was just some saves vs. EMP. I hope everyone posts by Monday. :/

Ok, Sinter will fly down to try and interfere with the robots carting off Supergirl. On his way he'll blast another one.

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
toughness save: 1d20 ⇒ 17 Don't know their bonus.

After being attacked by the shield Shudder spits out the blood and puts up a spider construct around him. I am not your foe.

Big Robot: Defense -3 (7), Toughness +20 (Impervious 12 Force Field), Reflex +2

Flier Robots: Defense 0 (10), Toughness +10, Reflex +5
Tank Robots: Defense +2 (12), Toughness +12 (Impervious 8), Reflex +2

All are immune to fortitude and will save effects.

Blast bounces off then.

As Sinter flies toward Supergirl, blasting fire at her grapplers, her form seems to waver and sag, as though she were made of candle wax. What is left slops away into a semi-transparent goo, dropping on to the torn ground below.

At the same time, The Shield takes a moment to gather himself and then reaches toward Shudder above him. His fingers clench as though he is trying to claw out eyes and Shudder feels a heavy weight dragging him down. Tons of force drag Shudder out of the air and press his spider shrouded form to the ground.

Shudder, you can make a Strength Check vs DC 22 on your turn. If you succeed, you can take either a standard or move action. Note that this doesn't keep you from taking mental actions, so you could power stunt to gain super strength (hydraulic spider legs or power armor or something). Or whatever you come up with.

At this point, you can mop up robots, chase the yellow sphere, join in the Shudder/Shield fight (or try to stop it), or whatever. I'm not going to throw anything else at you immediately.

"NOOOOO!!!They killed Supergirl!!!" and Sinter lashes out in rage blasting all the tankbots in a frenzy.

Not sure if there is a way I can attack multiple things. Don't know I know the power stunt rules.
power attack 5
to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 apparently he's a bit too upset to hit anything

Forzare rushes between The Shield and Shudder, and grabs and pulls them apart slightly.

Grapple vs Shield: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 33
Grapple vs Shudder: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37

Using the Area version of my power to Grapple.

"ENOUGH!" Forzare shouts.

"I said fight the enemy or leave. I'm ashamed to be working with you. Fighting another hero? Really? You left Supergirl to die! What is WRONG with you?"

Shale moves to the center most point of the conflict, trying to maximize the number of opponents he can reach in a single attack. Once in position, he begins sweeping out in increasing concentric circles, destroying every robot he can reach.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Save DC 31

He covers a circle/dome 120 ft across, destroying everything within 60 ft of his starting position. Leaping and/or Airwalk would allow him to hit those in the air as well.

Given their average saves, every Buzzbot in that area will be destroyed (Max Save 30 on a Natural 20). The tanks could possibly survive, though it's unlikely. A Save roll of 19-20 would survive, so if there are more than 10 tanks, one would survive. Less than about 7, and they average below saving, and all are destroyed.

He comes to a halt near the Shield, Shudder, and Forzare, with one of the Buzzbots still in his hand. "These things killed a Kryptonian? I think not." With that, he crushes the one remaining in his hand, and tosses the sparking mess on the ground. "I have reviewed the Justice League files on past conflicts, and at no point during those many conflicts, including those resulting in the death or apparent deaths of a Kryptonian has there even been an incident involving one being liquified. This is a ruse, and a transparent one at that."

He looks confident in his pronouncement, though whether he believes this, or is merely trying to put on a brave on the situation remains to be seen.

"Are you sure? I don't know much about Kryptonians. "sounding a touch hopeful.

Sinter, what does your voice sound like? I imagine it would be kind of strange.

Kara has already grown bored with the idea of ballerina-Neil. She quickly releases her mental grasp, and instead shifts into communication. "Neil, honey, would you be able to rocket up and catch that yellow shiny thing? Who knows if it's important or not, but I don't think we want it getting away if we can help it. I mean, if it's too fast for you, I understand. Just thought I'd ask.'

She feels bad that Supergirl got herself perished, but she tried (or, rather, had other people try) and that's what counts.

She shifts to the Lex-Sec and sees about their well-being. Aterro reports that they 3 stunned troopers are trying a reboot now...

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

...and failing miserably. Nevertheless, she sees that copious amounts of buzzbots are being easily handled, and asks them to shift their fire to the tri-tanks.

She would handle Shield, but the boys seem to be wrestling with each other, and boys get so mad when you tell them to stop wrastlin', so she leaves them to it.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Suddenly her L-phone starts playing again, and, joyful, she flies down to the Hall of Justice to see who, if anyone, is about, and to survey the damage.

120ft is a large area, but I'd be surprised if it covered the entire battlefield. Shale most like destroyed everything nearby him, but there are bound to be more buzz bots further out, and perhaps even a few tanks.

Using a HP so no fatigue to stunt super str for my construct

After say that he witness the liquefaction of supergirl.

+Its your fault that she died. You have brought armageddon to us all+

no...NOOOO!!!

Shift his form to Doomsday

str check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

In what appears to be rage he brakes the hold against the shield.

He's bluffing BTW

bluff: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Sinter's voice is quite distorted, with a lot of buzzing and pops. It is also a bit squeaky.

Her voice pierced through the thousands of individual thoughts. There wasn't a word strong enough for how much he hated Kara Luthor. Her values, her methods of handling things, everything she stands for. He'd grown stubborn. He wanted to retrieve the orb, but because she said so, he knew he couldn't be the one.
His rockets kick back on. He's here to be a hero, not be pushed around by a manipulative ex.
"One of your flyboys can handle it."
Captain Robo joins Forzare, Sinter, Shale, Shudder and The Shield Holy Alliteration, Batman! and takes a closer look at the goop that was Supergirl.
Accessing a nearby computer, Neil mentally replays the last moments of Supergirl's demise, picking apart keywords and phrases and searches them in hopes that there would be some sort of insight.
Taking Twenty on Computer skill to Gather Info: 20 + 22 = 42
"What could've possibly happened to Supergirl?"

Kara grins as Neil's -spite- came across, even through the filter of mental waves. 'Darling, the AS7-D Lex suit has flight -capability-, but it can't reach escape velocity, so neither I nor them has the physical capability to catch it. Yes, we had plans to put some genius scientist on a stupidly large budget to try and increase it, but he left for some dumb reason.
But if it's too fast for you too, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's not something really important that will come back to kill thousands, or perhaps millions of innocents later. No big deal. By all means, gather around the puddle that isn't really going anywhere. Ta! :3'
