Trystt's page

That's a bummer; I think you know we all love the game. Thank you for running an awesome game. If you do come back, please send me an invitation.

It has been a blast playing with all of you!

"We don't unfortunately, since the jet can't be landed. It's not too far to the cleft, though."

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

Soothsayer/Fortune on all. LRE on self.

Trystt just shakes her head at Spore's instant recovery. "Ride or walk? Less stealth, or more time in whatever the mist is?"

Trystt hovers around Spore, not interfering, but just being present in case he needs a buddy.

"No time to waste," she states the obvious as she grabs a comm. "Any idea what the mist is?, she asks Spore.

Trystt has a sudden intake of breath at the sight of the devastation. She quickly looks to Spore, clearly worried at his reaction. What will the big guy think of us after seeing what happened here? It's like seeing the antithesis of everything he is about.

Trystt doesn't argue, but trust is not transitive for her. She finds a place close to Spore for resting.

Whatever serenity Ebon is trying to impart is instantly negated by Doc's next accusations. She flies backward from the contact. Mockingbird's yelling only exacerbates the situation's tension. When she responds, her tone is as icy as her gaze is heated. "The mission is what matters most. I'll even work with people I can't trust." She looks pointedly at Sterne and Mockingbird.

I just want to be clear that this is character anger, not player anger. I think it's a cool scene to play out, having characters dealing with stress, guilt, and each other.

Speaking of flows of energy and currents, there is definitely a charge as Ebon touches Trystt.

The air in the plane starts to stir and electricity crackles in the air as Trystt's temper flares and she rises several inches off the floor. "For my sake?! Don't threaten me because you're feeling guilty. And an army truck doesn't accelerate to 70 in a few seconds. You just lost your head while I took an educated risk that was only necessary because of your failure. I hope those soldiers end up with only a few bumps and bruises. If not, I'll need to live with my failure. And you with yours."

From this post, I don't think we were really going that fast. But it would feel that way from the adrenaline rush.

Trysst dismisses the sight disruption as they fly away.

She shrugs at Doc in confusion at his semi-silent accusation, unsure of what resolution he wants. What did he want me to dp? She starts fiercely glare at him as she thinks, I'm not apologizing for us not being shot full of holes. Her response contains quite a bit of unintended attitude. "More or less, yeah. We probably should have called it off when Miss Tweety Bird here decided to tell us the jets there are in for repairs. But yeah, hell in a hand-basket is a decent way to describe it."

"Ebon, is that faith, or are you convincing yourself?"

We didn't specify a specific place. It was just as Spore said. It was different in my head. I didn't think everyone else would be near the base and I thought "SHIELD jet" meant one of the ones from the movies that could land in any clearing as opposed to needing a runway. Is there something we can reasonably improvise or have had as a backup?

Priding herself on creative thinking, Trystt is annoyed at herself for trying basically the same trick.

Trystt fires off another threatening bolt and makes for the jet. I hope you picked a good one.

"Oh, good, you're fine. Let's go then." Trystt darts for some cover between the hangar door and the jet that Mockingbird is targeting. Just for punctuation, she calls down another bolt in front of the door.

Trying to provide extra incentive not to approach, Trystt uses her abilities to create a small lightning storm in front of the hangar door. A bolt of lightning strikes the ground in front of it. "So, how bad off are you, Doc?"

Obviously we don't have a map, but is the fog between you and the shooters? i.e. WIll Bobbi have to drive through it?

Aye, centered on them. She will probably need to Days of Thunder through it.

Edit: Never mind, but I stand by the reference.

Trystt rolls her eyes at the Doc's freakout, but says nothing as she dismisses the driver's blindness, allowing his neural pathways to connect again. Looking ahead, she reaches out again, but to the air this time. A fog billows out, blocking the potential shooters' sight.

Trystt growls, "I was really hoping we would be better at this." Reaching out to the driver's mind, she feels around until she finds the pathway that connects his eyes to his brain. With a regretful sigh, she shuts it off.

Update tomorrow, extremely busy few days I'm sorry

All good, it happens.

"Sure thing. Just know that when I tell this story, you will definitely be described as bumbling and incompetent." Trystt winks and smiles smugly.

"Poor guy," Trystt loudly empathizes, to be heard over the sirens as she jumps into the jeep.

Oh man, I hope the others stay put. Those sirens are not going to help them stay calm.

Not a fan of guns being pointed at her, Trystt decides to turn the dial up on her disruption.

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

Std: Misfortune
Move: Cackle

Hex: Misfortune(DC:19)(1 round): The witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.

Spoilers aren't quoted in "reply" which is why I don't always use them.

Is the reminder text of what hexes and abilities do helpful, or extraneous?

Isn't that save against the hex?

Trystt repeats the disruption on the other soldier, followed by her signature radio crackle and pop. She is really hoping the confrontation does not become physical.

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

Std: Evil Eye(saves)
Move: Cackle

Hex: Evil Eye(DC:19)(9 rounds): The witch can cause doubt to creep into the mind of a foe within 30 feet that she can see. Effect: The target takes a –2 penalty on one of the following (witch’s choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the witch’s Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect.

I would like to help the round 2 action.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sensing things are not going in their favor, Trystt disrupts the officer's brainwaves just a bit.

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

Std: Evil Eye(saves)

Hex: Evil Eye(DC:19)(9 rounds): The witch can cause doubt to creep into the mind of a foe within 30 feet that she can see. Effect: The target takes a –2 penalty on one of the following (witch’s choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the witch’s Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect.

Trystt takes a step back. Do your thing, Doc.

Aye, it's more of a 'use as needed' spell. Dancing lights for cameras, vanish for people.

"Of course it will. Still need to be quiet," Trystt whispers.

8 possible from me.

"Thanks, buddy." Trystt gives Spore a smile and hug. "We'll be back before you can set roots down."

Soothsayer Fortune on everyone.

Befriending billionaires is a rather nice superpower.

"If that's what you want, sure. Same conditions apply, though."

"The smaller the group, the better, from what I can tell. That means just the two of us. If things go sideways, I can most likely make it out myself, but..." Trystt lets that thought hang there for a moment. "But we'll make sure that they don't. And we can meet you in a nearby field. Make sure you have your passports, if you have one."

Going through the lift gate with Vanish seems easiest to me. I have Vanish, Expeditious Retreat and Ghost Sound for distractions.

Wait, what? Why me?

"Do we even want a distraction? Won't that increase alertness?"

Letting you behind the GM screen for a second, I have played in many games with Sterne - online and at the table. And "we could try setting a fire" is his go-to move in these types of situations. Consequently, this actually made me laugh :D

ha!

Has it ever failed???? Don’t believe it has :)

Haha, I think you mentioned this before. I'm trying to find the post.

"Let's not start a fire or blow anything up on a military base. Everyone there already risks their lives enough. I don't mind putting one over on SHIELD as an organization, but endangering individuals is a no-go. It might be better to sneak as few of us as necessary and everyone else is picked up afterward."

Sorry, no teleport yet. I can probably fly and I have vanish also. I am a bit worried about an anti-magic zone security protocol. Out of character, that is.

What about not trying to sneak the whole group in? If we can get Mockingbird onboard, she could fly it out and pick the rest of the group up somewhere.

Oh. I'm going to end up in a laundry basket, aren't I...

Actual LOL!

What magic do we have currently? Do our magic men have an idea of what can be done here? I need to double check what I have and I'll post later today.

Hmm... all my stuff is on my sheet. I don't see much there. Stealing a SHIELD jet is a big deal. Do we have any other options? Stealing from bad guys, Ebon's new billionaire buddy, etc?

SHIELD

Bobbi looks aghast. Her eyes look down and away and it seems as though she is about to say something but instead she just bends and grabs her gym bag, slinging it over her shoulder and mutters;

"You guys are crazy...."

She strides away without another word.

"That went better than I thought it would," Trystt says drily, poking the bear.

Agreed.

As I recall, we don't know where the blue goo is being made. Sokovia was brought up as a possibility by Moira. (Link) Lucas is trying to obtain more info. If he doesn't find anything, it is the best lead we have, though.

"Wow, you must have hit him really hard. We don't know where it is yet. Napalm is working on that info."

Glad for the distraction and trying to make up for her unintended insult a few moments ago, Trystt cheers for Ebon from the sideline.
