OMAX-23
[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ DETECTING INCREASE IN ADRENALINE. COMBAT IMINENT]

Theater of the mind scene setting:

Canary, Oddball, and OMAX-23 are close enough to Ferrous Lad to engage in melee.

Cosmic Girl and Sentry are floating about 20 feet above, while Mariner and Lightning Lass are about 100 feet from the others, and higher in the sky.

Nightwing is a bit farther off than that, gliding above the area using fog for cover.

Am I capable of leaping up onto the building? just wondering

[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ SHIFTING TO INCREASED BIOMOLECULAR DENSITY. TARGET DESIGNATE COSMIC GIRL WITHIN RANGE.]
[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ BIOMETRIC COUNTDOWN CONTINUING... M-MINUS 20 MINUTES AND COUNTING OMAX-23...]

Shift to AE: Increase Biomolecular Density as Free Action

OMAX-23 frown deepens as her body adapts, then she leaps upwards towards the floating form of Cosmic Girl...

20ft Leap Move & Attack

Swiping a two pronged claw at the snarky super-mutant;

Close Attack - Adamantine Laced Claws: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Damage 13 @ Increased Biomolecular Density (DC28) | Penetrating 4 | Critical 18-20

If above misses may burn a Hero Point...

Am I capable of leaping up onto the building? just wondering

Yes.

That does miss, OMAX, would you like to use that hero point?

That does miss, OMAX, would you like to use that hero point?

Please chief. Presume I can reroll myself?

(Hero Point Reroll) Close Attack - Adamantine Laced Claws: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 = 11+14 = 25

Despite the distance between them, OMAX's Claws connect with, but bounce off of, the magnetic force field around Cosmic Lass. OMAx lands gracefully again below Cosmic Lass.

Ferrous Lad "Wrong choice!"

He charges at OMAX-23, intent on grabbing her. His hand lashes out, striking her hard with his grabbing hand.

OMAX Toughness Check vs DC 29 and either Strength or Dodge Check vs. DC 24 for the grab.

Lightning Lass attempts to bring a Lightning Blast down on Mariner, but his control over the weather helps him detect it as its building and he easily dodges it. "Goddess damn you!"

The Sentry feels someone brush against, and then try to crush, his mind.
DC 20 Will Save. (Dazed / Stunned / Incapacitated, Culmulative.)

Nightwing, Canary, and Oddball are up

Sentry Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 Yeah, not going to go down on the first roll. Spend a Hero Point.

Sentry Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16That becomes a 17, so 27, so no effect!

"Jesus" Canary yells out as Ferrous Lad sprints forward, the sharp increase in volume corresponds with her suit coming alight glowing a bright yellow. she quickly backs up 30 ft intonating on a hum for a moment before chanting

"Big mistake"

As the words leave her lips a bright green light shoots from her eyes towards Ferrous Lad.

Toughness DC29: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Grrrr. -1 on future toughness checks

Dodge DC24: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Double Grrr

Thwarted, OMAX-23 lands and is subjected to a smash n' grab by Ferrous Lad!

[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ DAMAGE SUSTAINED. CELLULAR REGENERATION UNDERWAY... M-MINUS 12 SECONDS UNTIL COMPLETION]
[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ DEFEND WITH X-TREME PREJUDICE]

Seeing the metal man lunge forward after OMAX, and Canary Acting in defense Oddball leaps to the roof.

:::I'm Heading to the roof, OMAX help Canary, Mariner and Sentry keep your quarries distracted. I'll head inside::

Sara let out her plan as she knew another villain was out there.

Athletics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Nightwing blinks down to help mariner with Lightning Lass. With a puff of brimstone, he releases a flurry of chains, kicks and punches.

attack, teleporting flurry: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 DC 24

Then he disappears back away.

Mariner crosses his arms with a smug look on his face when the lightning passes around him thinking, that was lucky. "You're going to have to better than that." Then, he blinks at the Nightwing flurry.

Believing that Lightning Lass may be immune to his weather control, and he doesn't fight actually fight the girl, so he attempts a little misdirection. With Cosmic Girl in his peripheral vision, he starts drawing all the water away from her. Sentry should be unaffected by his shenanigans.

Ranged Affliction (Fatigued, Stunned, Incapacitated) vs. Fortitude 12 (Area Cloud (15 ft radius), Subtle 1 (DC 20 Perception) vs Cosmic Girl

Ferrous Lad sputters and gasps as his face is enveloped in the light, blinding him.

Lightning Lass fares better, deflecting Nightwings attacks with skills she learned in the fight club's arena.

Cosmic lass sends a hail of metal bits from around the area at Canary, but Canary manages a graceful flip out of the way. "Leave Petey alone, you hag!"

-----
Sentry and Mariner's Turn, Mariner already posted.

"Whu....?" is all Cosmic Lass can manage before dehydration knocks her unconscious. She falls twenty feet, bouncing off of Ferrous Lad and OMAX-23 on the way down.

The Sentry flies into a fury seeing Ferrous grab OMAX 23. He drops on the metal man like a meteor.

Unarmed all out attack: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 3 = 21 Ferrous is blind, so his active defenses should be halved.

If that hits, DC 33 Toughness Save.

Move action to move to Ferrous Lad. Standard action to attack with all out attack shifting 3 from active defenses.

If that hits, then

Fast grab attack check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

If that hits, then resist the grab DC 28 using his Strength or Dodge.

My Dodge is now 0 and Parry is now 1.

The Sentry lays into Ferrous Lad, but it feels like hitting a mountain. The sound of the clash is like the crashing of vehicles at high speed.

With your grab having two degrees of success on Peter, I'll let you choose- either have him bound but still holding OMAX or have him restrained and forced to drop OMAX.

I'll go with bound and still holding OMAX.

Mariner turns his head a little when Cosmic Girl falls. He is genuinely surprised she dropped so fast and hoped she wasn't hurt by the fall. To Lightning Lass, he says, "Wonder what happened to her? Hope she's alright."

He flinches, when Sentry pile-drives Ferrous Lad into a crater. "If he didn't have metal skin, that would leave a bruise. Look Lass, you can just go. We can meet up at a cafe somewhere on the waterfront. I won't hold a missed bolt of lightning against you."

Oddball will look for a way in via the roof.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Held fast in the grip of the metal muscle OMAX-23 screams as she angrily kicks out - her foot claw popping forth;

"LET. ME. GO!"

SNIKT!

Close Attack - Adamantine Laced Claws: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Damage 13 @ Increased Biomolecular Density (DC28) | Penetrating 4 | Critical 18-20

"Ow! Not today, scrappy." Ferrous Lad says, tightening his grip rather than releasing it.

OMAX, toughness save vs DC 29

Lightning Lass barely acknowledges Mariner's "offer" with a scornful glance, saying "You dodged, but your friends seem pretty well grouped together and occupied."

She calls a bolt of lightning from the sky down onto OMAX, Ferris Lad, and Sentry. Ferrous Lad seems unaffected by the bolt.

OMAX and Sentry need a DC 22 Dodge Roll followed by a DC 27 Toughness Save, or DC 21 if you made the Dodge (unless you have evasion or something similar to reduce/eliminate it. OMAX is vulnerable because of the grab, and Sentry is vulnerable because he is grabbing has Improved Grab.

Players are up.

[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ WARNING! TENSILE PRESSURE LEVELS EXERTED ARE CONSIDERABLE. DISENGAGEMENT RECOMMENDED]
[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ DAMAGE SUSTAINED. CELLULAR REGENERATION UNDERWAY... M-MINUS 6 SECONDS UNTIL COMPLETION]

Toughness DC29: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 1 = 22 Woohoo. Another -1 to future Toughness checks...

Dodge DC22: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Toughness 27: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22 Stellar... Another -1 to future Toughness checks...

-3 to Toughness checks in total... Roll on next round when my regeneration drops it to -2 :)

OMAX-23 feels her bones pop as Ferrous Lad puts the squeeze on her, then in quick succession her nose is overwhelmed with the smell of ozone and... her own singed hair.

Fury fills her eyes as she slams a clawed fist into Ferrous Lad's face;

Close Attack - Adamantine Laced Claws: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 SNIKTICAL!

Damage 13 @ Increased Biomolecular Density (DC28) | Penetrating 4 | Critical 18-20

"Aw c'mon. That wasn't nice." Mariner sighs and replies to Lightning Lass. He backhands her, feeling bad about hitting a girl.

Backhand: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Unarmed +13, Damage 11, DC 26

Dodge: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Toughness DC 27: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23-1 to saves vs damage.

Free action: Maintain Grab, Standard action: do Strength Damage (so DC 31 Toughness save vs squeezing for Ferrous), Move Action to ascend 60 feet. Ferrous can make a Strength check vs my Strength. If he succeeds, I don't move. My Strength is currently 18. Not much chance of moving him, but worth a shot.

Apologies, Oddball, I didn't reply with what you found on the roof.

On the roof, Oddball found a helipad and an outbuilding with two doors- one accessing the stairs (locked) and one to an elevator (panel-locked.)

as Canny quickly ascends a diminished chord her glowing green eyes bolster in brightness to a near blinding glare before that light shoots towards the Ferrous Lad, Sentry, OMAX conglomerate before backing up further.

Ranged Attack-Radiant Beam: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Radiant Beam, damage 10 (DC 25)

As Sentry squeezes and Omax slices the metal man, his metal flesh is bent and pierced, and he drops from the overwhelming assault of the two outsiders.

Meanwhile, Mariner gives an unexpectedly sharp slap across Lightning Lass's face, and she cries out in pain, bruising already from the sting.

as Canny quickly ascends a diminished chord her glowing green eyes bolster in brightness to a near blinding glare before that light shoots towards the Ferrous Lad, Sentry, OMAX conglomerate before backing up further.

[dice=Ranged Attack-Radiant Beam]1d20+14
Radiant Beam, damage 10 (DC 25)

You could redirect that towards Lightning Lass as we cross-posted with Ferrous Lad falling unconscious. It would miss her, though.

I'll redirect it and go wide then!

Seeing the sudden fall of Ferrous Lad Canary quickly tries to relocate a new target and find Lightning Lass in the sky but with the green light bubbling though her eyes misses Mariner floating right next to her. As he moves in to attack her Canary pulls her shot wide to make sure she doesn't hit him and sends a column of radiant green light miles into the sky.

sorry, missed my cue.

As the beam goes by, Nightwing joins in dealing with lightning lass.

He'll pop in again for another flurry of blows.

attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28 DC24+ mutliattack bonus

Odbdall uses the comms.

"Hey guys is the door downstairs clear?" Oddball then looks at the locked door and sighs.

"I'm gonna head inside and see where the other one is" With that she backs up and thinks she can bust through with her jump.

Bounding Assault: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Charging the door to unlock

Nightwing pops in and out, landing several blows against the woman, leaving her battered but defiant.

Oddball kicks in the roof's access to the stairs.

Lightning Lass says "Hell with this." and summons forth a cyclone of wind around herself, rising up into the sky in its center.

:::Guys I am in going to look for the other three figures. Stay safe out there guys::: Sara says to her fellow teammates and begins to look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Looking for what is in this building and maybe spot anyone or a sense of were to go

[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ DAMAGE TO OMAX-23 UNIT SUSTAINED. CELLULAR REGENERATION CYCLE ONE COMPLETE. CYCLE TWO UNDERWAY... M-MINUS 12 SECONDS UNTIL COMPLETION]

Now -2 to Toughness Checks...

With Ferrous Lad down, OMAX-23 turns her attention to the fallen Cosmic Girl...

[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ ENEMY DESIGNATED COSMIC GIRL IS INCAPACITATED. THREAT NEGLIGIBLE AT PRESENT... NEUTRALISE Y/N?]

She puts her booted toe parallel to the neck of her fallen foe with a sneer;

"You called me. Well here I am."

"Good choice, Lass." Mariner calls after her.

He stays on overwatch surveying the scene.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Action = Defend

:::Need backup, OB?:: he asks as he Bamfs down to the roof. They were similarly stealthy and knew each other's styles, so he figured they'd work well together.

:::Wing, it would help we still have three unknowns not accounted for. I assume they are in here for whatever they are looking for::::Oddball says as she looks around seeking the last three unknowns.

How far away from Sentry is Lightning Lass, and how close can he get to her without being in the whilrwind?

Nightwing follows Oddball into the stairwell. At the tope floor, they discover mostly office space with several large offices surrounding a central cubicle chamber of slow death.

Moving down further, they find some labs, which show more promise, so they begin to be more meticulous in their search. Standing in their way, in the central corridor, is the unknown member of the Legion, the man with the facial tattoos. He gives a slight bow to Oddball and Nightwing, then gives the universal sign for "Come at me."

-------------

Sentry is probably only about 100 feet from her, easily reachable with his flying speeds almost instantaneously. Her barrier surrounds her by a margin of about 5 feet, just enough to keep people at more than arms length away.

"Oh hello, Um I suppose you won't just give up and let us by? No, well I guess we have to dance." Sara said hating combat, especially when the opponent is far more eager to fight then you!

Notting that she shifts and grabs one of her Oddballs. Modified juggling balls, that he had learned in the circus from her stepfather and mother and with oversight from her Uncle Eggie the eager vigilante threw hard, She hoped Wing would do his normal port in and out to confuse him, but stay out of the balls range.

Boomerang Ball: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Damage is 6 DC29

FYI - OMAX-23 plans to coup de grace Cosmic Girl. Toe claw meets throat... unless convinced otherwise

Nightwing track the ball so that he can bounce in around it as he strikes repeatedly. but keeping track of the ball and a new opponent is suboptimal.

teleporting Flurry: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
DC24+multiattack

Canary takes a moment then walks over to OMAX and says quietly to her ”Let’s let the authorities handle them. Their stupidity doesn’t need to sign their death warrant.”

At Canary's calming words, the ire in OMAX-23's eyes dims and she moves her foot slowly clear of her foe.

[CEREBROTHER ONLINE▸ ENEMY DESIGNATED COSMIC GIRL IS INCAPACITATED AND HAS DISPLAYED LOW INTELLECT BEHAVIOUR. TACTICAL ADVICE PROVIDED SHOULD BE HEEDED.]

"Fine. She gets to live..."

The mysterious man blocks all of Nightwing's attacks, and dodges Oddball's Boomerang ball, although the ball cricles back around for another try....

Free action from Oddball to make the Boomerang Ball try again, plus whatever action you want to take for a normal action.

He remains in a defensive posture, apparently studying your moves. "Your attacks are effectively accurate, but your lack of coordination between each other is a flaw. It remains to be seen how fatal a flaw...."

Outside, Lightning Lass flies even higher, reaching the clouds, which begin to darken considerable as a storm gathers.

Free action to reconfigure Kryptonian Array. Flight 5 gives me 450 feet as a move, Shockwave 12.

The Sentry's gaze snaps upward toward Lightning Lass. He moves toward her at impossible speeds, compressing the air in front of him as he goes, the shockwave spreading outward from his destination.

Move action to move toward her, stopping 10 feet away. Shockwave. DC 22 Fortitude save. Fail is Dazed and Vulnerable, Fail by 5 or more is Stunned and Prone.

The shockwave blows away her defensive wind barrier, knocking the wind out of her sails, but she refuses to fall.

Dazed and Vulnerable, Giving Mariner a chance to act befor eher.

Mariner flies up toward Lightning Lass and tries to grab and secure her.
Grab: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Strength 11

Boomerang Ball veers in towards the martial artist Boomerang: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Oddball, studies the man's hand near another ball as she studies the situation. She remembered back to her days at the circus and smile. The vigilante shifts She will rush forward charging at the man. getting in close enough to perform a fool's gambit. With her electric ball in hand, she is ready to get grappled and time it just right to smash her opponent point blank, herself included in the mix.

Gonna wait for him to try and grab me, and then smash the electric ball on him or at our feet, whichever is the more effective, aka a Fools' Gambit
