The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

A bolt of superheated plasma streaks by, frying some of Ephebe's hair and giving both her and Albin superficial burns. The wall it blaps into is melted.

The assassin - the time traveller - finally lets go of their invisibility, and appears before Ephebe as she's standing up. The attacker is definitely a woman - 5'7, fairly slender all things considered, and she's holding a vicious looking weapon which is spinning back up for another shot. "So, you survived in this timeline." comes the voice... very familiar to Ephebe. She can't /quite/ place it though.

Any details of the attacker beyond her height and build is hidden by her uniform an helmet. Full issue Imperial armour and helmet. She has a utility belt strapped on.

"Well, at least until now." And the gun is raised, and plasma spews forth again.

Roll to hit (touch): 1d20+54

Damage: 8d12+20

The 'burns' don't seem to effect Ephebe at all. Her eyes went purple-black as she looked at her attacker.

"No, I didn't," she said coldly, the shot hitting her solidly in the stomach. "The me from this timeline died more than a year ago from the point of view of this timeline. I took her place. At her request."

Ephebe suddenly disappears and reappears next to the attacker, reaching out to touch the plasma weapon.

As a free action activating Haste on self. Using Time Runner to step outside of time in order to get close without provoking AoOs and others can't make perception checks to notice her during this action. Attempting to use aging touch on weapon, which is treated as a sunder combat maneuver.

CMB roll to hit weapon. 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
Damage: 16d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 2, 6, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1) = 43

The attacker twists away easily from Ephebe's grasping at the weapon, moving fluidly despite the armour she's wearing.

The voice that comes sounds almost amused. "So then, you are the one Chan killed in my timeline." Halfway through the speech, the voice becomes almost hollow.

The attacker flits away rapidly from Ephebe, moving with barely contained power. "You realize of course, that this weapon is just here so that I can conserve resources. You think I'd place my entire plan at risk if I lost a paltry plasma rifle?" The laughter that comes from the helmet is cold and cruel, and truly empty of mirth.

"I see you've called friends as well." The attacker says cockily, waving a hand in the direction of the Wearer. "Too bad you can't keep me pinned down." She flips a switch on her utility belt, and fades from sight once again, as her personal cloaking field takes effect.

The Assassin's grin is cold as the steel of the blade that appeared in one hand and then he is gone

while with his other hand he tosses a vial of greyish fluid into the person's chest
1d20 + 22 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 22 + 10 = 44 Touch AC

the assassin isnt phased by the invisibility of the opponent in the slightest

"Thanks ever so."

Using Personal Time. This last round didn't happen unless you happen to be a Champion, in which case you remember what happened but it's all rewound now. Side note: Ephebe can't rewind more than one round of time anymore. That rewind one minute thing went away a long time ago due to being a PITA to adjudicate.

"This isn't your timeline, b&#+&. Go home. What happened to you wasn't done by these people."

She activates haste, throws a white flame chakram and then pulls her Caster, loading a particular bullet which she uses a moment of prescience to aim better.

To hit with chakram:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4d8 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (5, 1, 1, 4) = 23
Potential confirm? 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29
Potential extra damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

To hit with spell bullet: 1d20 + 42 ⇒ (3) + 42 = 45
Fort save DC vs temporal stasis: 30

Fort Save vs. Ephebe spell (Ephebe needs to overcome SR as well, but won't matter if the save saves: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (7) + 32 = 39

Ephebe's white-flame chakram is a bulleye - right at her opponent's head. The force of the throw, especially infused with psychic energy as it is, is enough to knock the helmet from her attacker.

The bullet strikes as well, right in the chest, but bounces away, spent and harmless.

Shoulder-length platinum blonde hair tumbles out of the helmet around Ephebe's enemy's head. It's... Vai. Ephebe's sister (at least, in this timeline). Only older. So much older. Her face isn't smiling happily. It's twisted with long years of nursing hate and anger and fear. Those same blue eyes usually so full of life and hope... are cold and dead. They glare with hatred and pain and loss. "You aren't the only one who can flex their Championship, Time." she snarls, nabbing the helmet from the floor and vanishing in a burst of Light.

Well... that would explain why the security system didn't register her as an intruder when she first entered the school anyway.

Taking advantage of the removal of the helmet the assassin doesnt hesitate, a flurry of shurikin drive towards the vital area...

Carl sets the girl down the hall from the Class room, for am moment he is still then the air around him gets dense, the light bends and a dark ball of nothingness comes into being.

"Look after the Girl by keeping her safe from harm"

Carl says to the pint if utter darkness.

the small Gravity elemental hangs in the air above her, Carl gos back to see if he can do any more.

oops ok so just saying hi. Insted

Lang'meditations are interupted when Master Hito hands him a sealed scroll

you will need to deliver this tonight the name is on the scroll

I think i will need a stat block for avatar state Lang. Might make things easier for people including myself.

Also anyone have thoughts on how to mechanically handle mel if she regenerates? Will need some timelord savvy people for this

wrong spot lang

To the other family members, although she's specifically talking to Aananda::Mom, we've got an evil Vai from an alternate timeline running around. You need to exclude Vai from all security clearances and keep our Vai in one place to not confuse things.::

To the other Champions, ::We have a situation. We've got an older, stronger alternate timeline version of the Champion of Light wandering around killing people...I could use an assist here. I'm not strong enough to take her out by myself. If you can't deal because she looks like someone you care about, stay the hell out of the way.::

What did she mean by Champion?" The dark masked person inquires while retrieving his weaponry from the floor

::does she know Fei exists in this timeline? Maybe he can talk her down?::

Will Save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

::Aananda, I'm drawing on the extra power stores trying to get the wards up again, let me know if I'm needed elsewhere!:: Ryo finally replies, working furiously with what he's got to keep the students safe again.

@Ryo:

The job done on the wards was masterful. It will take a bit of time to get them working again. However did this has intimate knowledge of how the school's wards work.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

"Vai, stop this!" Taron shouts after he manifests a power to ward off most of Vai's lightning.
Improved Evasion and Energy Adaptation augmented to be manifested as an immediate action.

Carl comes back the looks out the window,
"Arthur, there's a kid who looks like he's been shot down there, looks like plasma burns all over his back"
Kn space 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (14) + 24 = 38
Points to the lake side and two kids standing over another,
"If this place wer the medics, then young ens out there need help, no ones getting help here till the place is magiiced right, let me know where he needs to be taken, Arthur you coming, we got hurt to find ?"

Carl teleports to the three kids.
1d20 ⇒ 20

::. . . . I know. . . . It's just. . . . . This is the one thing I'm really afraid of. . . . and I know it's one of the things your good at and I don't want to tell you that you can't and I. . . . I just. . . . .::

He looks down consistently, knowing he can't look you in the eyes.

Dave looks concerned, you get the mental equivalent of opening his mouth only to close it. he puts his hand on your shoulder and tries to think of something comforting to say, something that would make it all better but is incapable of doing so. ::I...::

::. . . . . .::
He sighs.
::If you say you won't hurt me,. . . Then. . . I believe you.::
To everyone else Tybalt is no longer there.
1d20 + 11 + 16 + 3 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 16 + 3 + 30 = 72Stealth
To Dave he has his arms thrown around his neck.
::I'm tired of being afraid.::

After a few more moments of peering around, with the occasional brief glance at Nala and Ryuzo, Tryko'Sam says, "I think the worst of it at the infirmary is over... there's a bunch of students there, though, in case that matters, miss. I'm going to search around, I think I heard some screaming and ...energy discharges in my searching around."

With that, Tryko'Sam starts to run off, rather briskly, turning a corner at one point and going out of sight.

He doesn't appear to require much in the way of social chit chat, once he's moving.

Carl takes the hurt boy to the cafeteria, the moved the girl there as well, [someone did say a makeshift medical station was being set up in the cafeteria ]

Then with elemental following Carl heads off to find more hurt, running into Tryko' Sam.
Seeing he's also searching Carl says,
"Hello lad-e names Carl, you seem tobe doing same as me, so just ta let ya know, they set up a temporary medical station in the cafeteria, As some one bombed the real one, they says it will be up and running soon, now I heard a screen from down this ways"

Dave tentativly hugs back ::thanks.. we should probably keep moving::

::OK. You look like you're hugging yourself right now. Kinda gives it away. . . .::
As they continue down the hall the next trap is blasted apart with an arc of lightning.
"Don't need and damn fire."

::why hide it, should I have just kept my arms slack and stopped moving? besides, I'm pretty sure that the wolf guy could tell by smell either way:: he snickers at tybalt's outburst

Convinced now that the arrow system hates him Sun finally just gives up, I will never figure out how it works.Come on what did I ever do to you?

Sun yells at the wall then turns to Chara and Dara well? what do we do now?

BTW Sun has always had issues working the school arrows. its at the point now that the school purposely stops working for him just to toy with him

"I'm back. Games delayed. Taking my shackles, healing people."
he flys off to the lunchroom.

"I'm back. Games delayed. Taking my shackles, healing people."

he flys off to the lunchroom.

why are you healing people? what is going on?

Sun is apparently clueless about what is going on.

but apparently his question will go unanswered as Settro flies off

Phaezeriel moves swiftly helping to get people clear of the Infirmary.

::Lady Aananda, what else do we need to do?::

He may be the last one there at this point.

he is already off.

::I hide because. . . . I guess . . . I think I. . . . I don't know. . . .::

across your mental link you get a wordless sense of inquiry

Far to the east in the sky temples...

Lang looks at the scroll and to whom it was addressed. his eyes go wide when he sees the name. looking up at master Hito

Master, what message am I to bring to this family? he asks wondering of the contents of the scroll.

Lang, you will find out when the time is right. also I am sending Chen and Lea with you. to bring the rest of your friends. I believe three owls should be enough. I believe it only fitting that those close to you be at your side for the ceremony.

Lang smiles you mean I... but before he could finish Master Hito inturupts lang you still have one remaining test. but I believe you can pass. Master Hito turns to leave but then stops glancing back. and Lang please tell Mr. De'Nown to stop by. its been so long since we have enjoyed a cup of tea.

Lang bows to master Hito and runs off to find Simba. hey there old buddy. we are going on a special mission. he tells Simba, Lang's giant Owl.

Saddling him up he noticed Chen and Lea already to take off all three owls saddled for carrying passengers.

All three nod ready to depart. and they take to the air flying to Avalon.

settro realises there is nothing to do when he gets to the lunchroom, and then begins to walk off.
"I thought this was supposed to be a place of peace, or at least protection. I'm gong somewhere safe. This isn't my problem."

::I think that . . . . I think I may . . . . That you. . . . And I . . . . And I might . . . . About . . . you and. . . .::
He stammers to form coherent sentences about what it is.
::Can. . . . Can we talk about it later?::
He tries to keep his inner conversation from having outward effect on his face and body language.
1d20 + 10 + 3 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 3 + 16 = 48
With nominal success.

::fine, that's probably best::

::Thanks.::
This seems like as good a place as any to go back to waiting.

Carl get to a door the creaming was coming from, on root it suddenly supped,
"Blasted door locked"

Carl places his hand on the door, it shudders as force ripples fan out from his hand, The door buckles and falls in on itself, Carl pulls it to one side and go's into a students room. The body of a girl is smoldering on the floor.

Carl go's over to it, feeling for a pules,
"Dead, looks like from plasma burns, just like that boy I found outside on the grass. Hell's rancid nuts!!, who would do such a thing to wee children?"

Carl visibly upset picks up the child up and starts to make his way to the cafeteria.

[Ok that's him on hold now, 1 live 2 dead until resurrected etc,
Damiani, all have Carl arrive at some point if it all stays the same]

[o how I hate post from a smart phone, 'Screaming', then 'Stopped' then two "up"'s ]

When Carl get to the cafeteria he places the body net to the other of the boy.

He has to go outside, any one looking can see hes very upset by the whole thing

Yrrin sets a hand on the dwarf's shoulder...

"I am sorry that this has happened, Carl....but if there is justice in this world, I will bring this culprit to Justice."

Carl pats the paladins hand and nods his head, to the wise words said
"I, justice needs to be done here, knight, who every don this needs to know killing kids ant right, I just wish I could have done sum-it more then carry the dead"

He give a sad smile up at
"So im I Yarr and yee good elf Yrrin, lets hope the powers that be here can stop this madness before any more arms done, until then ill stand guard with thee here if that's all right"

You see raw power go into Catl fists.
"And woe betide any of them that done this coming here"
He seem more determined than upset now after your words.

He seem more determined than upset now after your words.

I don't look like a knight... no armor or anything, the only thing i have is my hand-and-a-half sword

[sorry did not know, your image has you in plate and with Paladins you know, easy mistake... i'll not use it again]

"Ae Ill do as thee asks Yrrin, Gods speed and and may Hanseath's hammer protect yee"

Carl sends his elemental one side of the room wile he looks after the other, so more come in he sends them to who can help them.

To the other family members, although she's specifically talking to Aananda::Mom, we've got an evil Vai from an alternate timeline running around. You need to exclude Vai from all security clearances and keep our Vai in one place to not confuse things.::

I'm not strong enough to take her out by myself. If you can't deal because she looks like someone you care about, stay the hell out of the way.::

As she releases the nanites into the ruins of the infirmary, Aananda sends out a message to the school.

"The school is currently on lockdown. I repeat, the school is currently on lockdown. An intruder got in disguised as one of our own and took down the wards. We are currently tracking this person roaming through the school. All students, stay put in your current location and find a hiding place if possible. Students in the hallways get to a secure location as quickly as possible. Students outside the school stay outside and find cover."

::Alright, I put the school on lockdown and I've disabled all of Vai's security clearances. But I'm not sure that will stop her given her teleportation abilities.::

"as if," Arthur says to his companion "with the two of us we will be fine, activate cloaking, I'll take point, and we will find them" he activates his shield and keeps going
remember hermes, that is 1 battery point to ten miniutes of invis

Yrrin is torn between following lockdown procedure, and finding the person who caused the damage....

Then the paladin grimly smiles

I am not a student here yet

And continues to head to the security room

Raelle's save from previous round: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
No damage for Raelle so far.

Ginni's save from previous round: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Ginni takes half damage.

Morrivan's save from previous round: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Morrivan takes full damage

Tami's save from previous round: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Tami takes half damage.

With two more remorhaz all but confirming the way, the group makes there way to the closest spot on the map to the 'empty' area.

Morrivan pours out the water in the canteen she always carries and forms a whip with it, using this to try and trip Vai.

CMB: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
