*Flare's page

Still here and ready. Are we building a new forum or continuing on in this one?

Been exceedingly busy of late, I will try to finish by tomorrow. If not, it may be necessary for you guys to go ahead without me. I don't want to hold things up.

Construct wasn't listed because it was inherent to the racial pick (Android). In case it is not acceptable to use that race, I'll work it up with Construct in there. This is also why she was "lacking" an Edge.

To be honest, I'm not sure how I got the other values, as I was using Savaged.us and just assumed that it was correct. I'm honestly thinking of going a different route anyway, let me see what I can do.

Yes, just been extra busy of late. Give me til Monday, please, and I'll have an updated character posted.

Is ANGEL acceptable, or do I need to go another route? I have another idea if necessary.

Flare has no illusions of becoming a hero, she enjoys being a villain too much. That said, I do like Enkidu's idea of being new up-and-coming heroes in the same world. I'd be down for that. I could even see Flare becoming a recurrent villain.

I'm game to keep playing, if everyone else is.

Flare ignores the robot attacking her and concentrates her fire on the overmind.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Ace!!: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Damage plus raise: 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1) + (4) = 13

Spending a benny to reroll damage!

Damage plus raise: 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 2) + (1) = 9

Ugh!

That is one of my favorite TNG episodes because of how first contact was handled. The process might be very similar if we ever met a friendly alien race.

I caught that early on and made the connection. Very well thought!

Flare continues to push her abilities to the limit.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Damage + Raise: 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 6) + (4) = 14 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Ace!!: 1d6 ⇒ 5

RAN 9, damage 25

Flare does the only thing she can do; she blasts the Overmind again.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Damage + Raise: 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 1) + (3) = 17 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 4

RAT 8, Damage 21 (if 8 is not a raise, reduce damage by 3)

Flare nods her head and wipes blood from her lips, but does not say anything. She isn't used to being tossed about.

I'm good with the original solution or with Enkidu's option.

I'm taking a short vacation without Internet access from Wednesday, 5 June until 10 June, and will be unavailable during that time.

Flare flings a firebolt at the overmind.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 2) = 15 Ace!: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 4

So, 27 points of damage, if she hit.

Flare tries another blast against the shield.

Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 5) = 15 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 1

A total of 16 points.

Seeing the barrier shimmer, Flare pours on the power.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 4) = 14

Flare is caught off guard. This was the great menace threatening her world? A giant brain? She bites her lower lip, a bad habit that she has had since she was a child. She chewed on her lower lip when nervous. With a sigh, she looks to the giant robot, wondering if her blasts would even affect it. Probably not... better to go to the source of the problem.

She turns and targets the brain with a full-intensity blast.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 5) = 17 Ace: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Total Damage: 21 points of fire

"I think that we should take care of the problem once and for all," Flare offers.

Flare keeps blasting away. It seems as though she is enjoying this.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 5) = 19

I have a convention I am assisting in running in two weeks, so my responses will be slow or perhaps non-existent until March 4. Please forgive delays.

Flare is targeting the one that she has been working on.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5) = 15 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 1

16 points of damage

Flare continues her blasting.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Ace1: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 3) = 14 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 if 9 is a raise (doubt it)

Flare blasts merrily away at her opponents.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 6) = 19 Aces: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

So a total of 21 points, if an 11 hits. If 11 is not a raise, then damage is only 14 points.

I am going to be out of town from tomorrow until November 16 (I'm going to Walt Disney World). Please bot me as necessary. If time permits (ha!), I will try to check in and make a post.

Yep, until a leader reveals himself as such.

Flare presses her advantage, attacking again with a fiery blast.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Ace!: 1d12 ⇒ 4

Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 3, 1) = 20 (+1d6 for the raise) Aces: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12 Aces again!: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 Total: 37 points!

Flare targets one and blasts away merrily.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Damage: 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 1) + (5) = 20 (with raise) Aces!: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Flare will attempt to soak her wounds.

Vigor: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I believe that soaks both. 5 bennies remaining.

Is there a discernable leader in the group? Someone who seems to be in charge?

A little of both, on my end.

Flare attempts to blast a warrior within her range.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 2) = 13

I like the mass battle rules, but as Enkidu says, they really don't work well online. I'd say roll the bones or replace them.

RAN is 4. She will also be at 10", to stay in range for her powers.

Flare also takes to the sky, seeking to get out of range.

Smarts-2: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1 Wild: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

"Air superiority may be our best bet. I'm betting that will reduce the number of attackers significantly."

Sorry. I'll live with it.

Flare will attempt to overcome the Shaken effect.

Spirit roll: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Okay, spending a benny to overcome it.

Shaking off the effects of Champion's blast, Flare scowls and regroups. She blasts Champion with another shot (this time not attempting to go for the eyes).

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 5) = 11

Flare frowns and tries the same tactic a second time.

Shooting at -6: 1d12 + 1 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 6 = 1 Wild: 1d6 - 6 ⇒ (6) - 6 = 0
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 4) = 15

Ace on Wild!: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Ace on damage!: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Flare aims a blast for Champion's eyes, hoping to at least temporarily blind the reanimated hero.

Shooting at -6: 1d12 + 1 - 6 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 6 = -2 Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 4) = 9

Absolutely!

Just a heads-up: my wife is having a hip replacement Friday, so for the next six weeks, she is going to be in recovery mode and I will be handling the house. If I'm late with posts, please be forgiving.

Flare readies herself for Champion's arrival, knowing from experience that she will not be able to stop him with her blasts. Instead, she flits about nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Flare zips down to join the others in time to benefit from Doxis' protection. Still flaming and hovering in the air, she says, "Right, we beat him once with pure luck. Who knows? Maybe the dice will roll in our favor again!"

Flare is rightly confused by all that is happening. Champion, still "alive"? Dr. Destruction, dead? She does all that she can do; braces for Champion's arrival.

Flare nods in agreement with Enkidu. That answer made as much sense as anything else. "But that doesn't get us back home."

Flare blinks several times in succession. "What the f--- was that all about? Where did he go? And where are we?"

Flare whizzes about Champion in the air, blasting again as she goes, trying to keep him unfocused. Spending a Benny on damage again; 1 remaining.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 Damage: 4d10 ⇒ (9, 3, 3, 10) = 25 Ace!: 1d10 ⇒ 4 Additional 1d10 from Raise: 1d10 ⇒ 10 Ace!: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Total Damage: 42 points of fire damage

Damage: 4d10 ⇒ (4, 7, 10, 6) = 27 One Ace!: 1d10 ⇒ 1

Flare again tries to fry Zombion.

Shooting: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 6) = 19 fire

Ace in the damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 for a total of 23 fire damage.
