[SFS/Shifty] #2-23 The Edge of Cadascon (B) (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Tricsie asks Azara with concern Have you actually met a beautiful woman that actually did that?

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

I believe it is inside the tower and was hidden behind a snow drift that blocked the tower entrance. Is it possible to attack it from where we are?

"Your parents didn't tell you the story of Rapunzilla when you were growing up? You know 'Rapunzilla, get your tongue out of my ear,'" Azara replies.

"I always liked 'The Beauty Who Was a Beast' better personally."

"Woah ugly! Get it!" Conrad feints with his azimuth pistol, knowing it's not much of a threat. Get'em (+1 morale to hit) and Clever Feint on Red.

Bluff: 1d20 + 13 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 13 + (1) + 1 = 32 If passed it stays flat-footed until the end of Conrad's NEXT turn.

I am confused by the map. Is the beastie IN the tower? ON the tower? If it's in the tower, where's the entrance? And where is the second one?

Doors added for clarity, additional creature popped on - NE. In the tower - the snow had piled in the open door and it was underneath.

"It's a wampa. The only way to stop it from killing us is to kill it first."

Zangief moves to within 15' of the creature and points its pike at it. From his position on Zangief's back Mr. Bison rearranges his tentacles at the molecular level doubling his strength. Hefting his great axe above his head he uses his photoenergetic node to set it on fire. With his axe ablaze and with the help of the thrower arms upgrade on his armor he flings it through the open door at the creature.

Early Stage Adaptation: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 3 = 21

Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The axe lands with a mighty thud!

Tchisk knows it is a Ursikka Hatchling. He knows they are quite resistant to cold {10}.

He shoots it with the sonic pistol

Tricsie fires magic missiles at it

mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 = 11 force damage

Azara sheathes himself in stellar flame. Like a terrestrial comet, the throws himself at the creature, moving with impressive speed, which is only enhanced by cybernetic legs.

Stellar Rush: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Fire Damage (DC16 Refl Half): 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 = 8

The Stellar Rush is a Bull Rush attempt. It has to save vs. the fire damage whether the Bull Rush works or noth.

Daata's eyes narrow at the beast, and he draws his own axe and hurls it at the monster. Mikey follows suit and fires an electric shot.

Move draw weapon, standard throw axe, AI attack.

Attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Damage (E): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The creature absorbs the missiles and the blow from the flying axe, other attacks miss their mark.

It is bloodied and wounded, but lashes at Azara!

The returning fusion on Mr. Bison's blazing great axe returns it to his waiting tentacles. Seeing the other Ursikka moving in the duo move to intercept it. Moving to within 10' feet of the new threat Bison flings his still flaming axe at it and Zangief jabs at it with his pike.

Great Axe vs. Orange KAC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Mr Bison and Zangief race off to intercept - the axe misses but the pike lands.

Did the Ursikka make a Reflex Save against my Stellar Rush? Even if the attack misses, it takes damage.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"Gross," Azara says as he is spattered and encrusted in spit.

But, now that he's right next to the creature, he draws down his stellar mote. It reshapes itself into a large ankh with a small crystal at the crossbar. He holds it by the loop, the arms forming the crossbar and the body forming a razor sharp blade.

As the song of the spheres continues to fill him, he slashes at the creature.

Solar Weapon minus Entangled: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 2 = 12
Slashing: 1d6 + 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (2) + (1) + 8 = 11

Photon Attuned 2

Tchisk moves over and touches Mikey causing its weapon to be supercharged (+4d6 damage to its next attack).

"Come on Azara, you got this! Everyone, keep up the pressure!"

Azara regains 15 SP, Get'em on Red.

Azara finds the saliva is starting to freeze at a rapid rate
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 5 Cold damage
Entangled duration 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds

Azara misses the foe.

Conrad enthuses his companions.

Tchisk starts loading the cosmic ammunition!

Daata catches his returning axe and hurls it again, while Mikey hovers past him to fire a second shot.

Move AI, standard attack vs red; AI move to square, standard attack red.

Attack vs KAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15

Attack vs EAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage (E): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

@Daata, Tchisk supercharged Mikey's attack so you can roll a 4d6 and add it to its damage.

Tricsie fires off another volley of magic missiles at the original target, as well as spending a resolve to hack the spell so a weak missile is energised magic hack to reroll a one

mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) + 3 = 11 force damage

reroll: 1d4 ⇒ 1

which still results in a weak missile

The attacks with flying axes fail to make their mark.

Tricksies flying meteors DO make their mark!

Who did red attack?

As the cold starts to creep through his new armor and into his bones, chilling the flesh between, Azara is hit with another burst of the icy spittle.

Refl: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Fortunately, he has the fire of a star burning in his breast, a fire he unleashes on his foe, now.

Supernova (DC16 Refl for Half Fire Damage): 5d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 1, 6) + 1 = 21

What kind of damage is the original attack? I have DR1 so want to account for that if it's physical.

Unattuned.

I think Shifty just had the attacks backwards. Red attacked Azara and Orange attacked Zangief.

Zangief Reflex Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

The ursikka slams Zangief with an attack and vomits disgusting saliva all over it.

"The Red Cyclone will not be defeated!

Mr. Bison is untouched by the ursikka's attack while on Zangief's back. HIs great axe returns to his tentacles and the fire that was emitting from it goes out. Raising it above his head again he flings it at the foul creature again while Zangief jabs a second time with its pike.

Tactical Great Axe vs. Orange KAC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Tactical Pike vs. Orange KAC: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 2 = 11

Piercing Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"You aren't gonna let him push you around like that, are you? Give'em the ol'uppercut!" Inspiring boost to Zangief 15 SP, Get'em on Red

Zangief is a drone so I don't think you can do Inspiring Boost on it. It doesn't have stamina points. Thanks for trying though! I'll give the ursikka the dragon punch next round. Shoryuken!

And Tricsie lets loose yet another volley of missiles, spending yet another resolve to hack the spell

mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 3 = 9

reroll: 1d4 ⇒ 2

As above :) R should be on Azara, Orange Zangief.
@Azara - It's a bite, so kinetic.
@All - yep Drones can't be boosted, needs to be repaired :)

The supernova blasts the creature completely as the wave of heat cooks the inside of the tower, turning snow into steam and charring the place with the heat of the sun!

Trics peppers the other creature with missiles!

The beast avoids the flying axes and battle pikes.

Since it's kinetic Zangief takes once less point of damage since he also has DR.

Zangief is entangled for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds, and also taks 1d6 ⇒ 6 Cold damage though!

Noooooo!

Seeing the beast fall, Daata catches the returning axe, powers through the snow with his forelegs, and hurls it at the second creature. Mikey hovers in place and fires as well.

Move to square, standard attack orange; AI attack orange.

Attack vs KAC (flat-footed): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Tchisk & Conrad

Sorry for the hold up. These last few days have been rather rough.

With red out of the fight, Tchisk scampers closer to orange and fires his pistol.

Sonic Pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Sonic Dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

No rest for the weary, wicked or wise. Azara burns down the beast he's fighting then rushes out of the tower. The slime encasing him keeps him from getting as far as normal, though.

Instead of getting close enough to slash the other beast with his solar weapon, he has to settle for shooting at it with his shiny new pistol.

Corona Laser Pistol minus entangled: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 = 10
Fire Damage (Burn Crit): 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5

Tchisk gets a shot in, doing slight damage, but damage nonetheless.

Aszara, not so much.

Zangief Reflex Save DC 13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Zangief is slammed by a massive swing from the ursikka's appendages. The damage is too much for the combat drone to sustain and it shuts down.

Mr. Bison quickly floats off Zangief's back and away from the ursikka. Like most barathu Bison's body is heavily modified with biotech enhancements. Priming the wyrmling dragon gland grafted to his throat he unleashes a 15' cone of electricity at his foe.

"Electric Thunder!"

Electricity Damage DC 14 Reflex Save for 1/2 damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) = 8

Ref 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
