Mutants & Masterminds: Lake City Universe - M&M 3E - LCU: Alliance OS1 (OOC)

[Heritage]

Okay, finally a post! HTML is a total bitch on my wizened Mac laptop, so I'll shrink and embolden Mini-Deet's lines when I get onto a PC.

[Heritage]

Made a minor edit to the post, since Deet never provided a landing site.

[Heritage]

I've noticed that Mini-Deet seems to have a slightly different personality than 'classic' Ditra-55; I'm gonna assume that for an AI avatar, 'function follows form' and leave it at that

[Heritage]

Alright, I feel this thread is once again in danger of premature death; should I just NPC Chance and move forward? Do folks still care?

[SalmonMax]

I dunno what's up with Chance...I was planning on jumping ahead in my next post.

I can still do that, or if you'd rather do it that's fine too.

My apologies for not moving quickly. I've been a busy, semi-distracted person of late.

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

I'm game as long as everyone else is. I'm slowly sanitizing my life, so I'm better able to keep up; I'm hardly in a position to complain about the pace of others. FWIW, if *I* drop off the face of the Earth, please feel free to NPC Lusungu until I get back.

Having said that, I'd like to try for a post a week minimum, if possible.

[Heritage]

Okay, so I should have a large chunk of time tomorrow to do an NPC post for Chance getting us to the landing site, so we can then move forward to the teleport stuff.

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

Poke?

[SalmonMax]

Just got back in. Doing a bunch of catchup posts! Stay tuned!

[Heritage]

I'm sorry guys, now it's my fault; between random work schedule, library-based Internet access and my Second City stuff (classes on Thursday, performances on Monday), I haven't had a lot of computer time. I'm hoping to have a nice chunk tomorrow so i can at least post here and get you guys into that damn powerstation.

[Heritage]

So it seems like Chance's player has disappered from the internet for a while, and to be honest, I'd rather not NPC him for the rest of the mission if I can avoid it. if I made adjustments to the story, would the two of you be okay completing it as a two woman team, or do we need to come up with other options?

[SalmonMax]

Mew. Two people is getting...mighty slim. I dunno. Just from a perspective of fun, that really cuts back on the RP possibilities.

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

Heri,

Don't worry!?, Just do what you can, when you can, and let everything work itself out! This too shall pass.

[Heritage]

I have recieved a sheet from another player interested in joining the game; if it looks good, I may have Ditra summon him from an Alliance post to supliment the team.

[SalmonMax]

Or he might be an operative already on the scene...perhaps undercover, waiting for backup...

[Heritage]

Or he might be an operative already on the scene...perhaps undercover, waiting for backup...

Well he's not quite the undercover type...he's more of an energy being capable of surviving in vacuum and flying at light speed

[Heritage]

Okay, we will be joined by Aurelius shortly, so yay!

[SalmonMax]

Should I wait for him, or post anon?

[Heritage]

Give me a day to get a post in, and then we can go from there.

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

w00t!

[Aurelius]

Looking forward to it, guys!

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

Hello Aurelius! Welcome to the party! :-)

[Heritage]

Okay, Lusungu and Sigil get their first hero points! Woo-hoo! I am taking Chance out of the picture for the moment, though you still need to move fast to help him! At this point, the cuts from the buggy-wuggies are just window dressing, not enough to count as damage, though that could soon change!

[Heritage]

Actually can I get a Fortitude save from Lusungu and Sigil? I'm treating the bug swarm like an Affliction effect.

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

+9 + my roll. I'll edit this post when I can remember how to find the die roller. (posting from work)

Result:

Roll: 16 +9 Modifier = +25

[SalmonMax]

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FORT SAVE!

...

Also, that's her weakest defense.

()

[Heritage]

It's not vs Incapacitated, it mostly impacts movement and rolls.

[Heritage]

(OOC - Fort save:

SalmonMax *rolls* 1d20: 3+5: 8

[salmonMax] 1:37 pm: For Heritage's game.

[salmonMax] 1:38 pm: Also...doh.

Action:

Trying to use her 'Call the Swarm' ability to take control of the bugs. Treat this as Extra Effort to spawn an Alternate Power and inflict a domination type Affliction on them.)

Okay, so the DC was 18; Lusungu made it fine, but Sigil failed by two degrees, so she is currently Immobile and Disabled (i.e. no move actions and -5 on any rolls).What would be the relevant stats for the AP? Saves and such?

[SalmonMax]

The AP is as follows:

Affliction +8: (Entranced, Compelled, Controlled), Perception (sound), Area (Burst), Selective; 4pp/rank. Cost 32, which is within the limits of her spell array.

Will DC 18 or succumb to the effect.

[Heritage]

Lusungu, I'm gonna wait for a post from you, and then we'll deal with the effectiveness of Sigil's AP effect.

[Heritage]

Sorry if it wasn't clear in my last post, but both sets of airlock doors are currently closed; you guys just have to deal with the critters that are trapped in the lock with you guys.

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

My bad. Obviously both doors of the air lock aren't open at the same time, otherwise it wouldn't be an airlock. /sigh

I think I perceived the chitinous ropey thing as a tentacle, and that unwarranted assumption rippled on through to others.

[Heritage]

Heritage *rolls* 1d20: 11+4: 15

    [stargaizer] 9:36 pm: once he's attuned, he's immune to that particular energy.

[Centimane] 9:36 pm: Unless you mean a Toughness check?

     [Carver] 9:36 pm: SG here's the order. First the attack. SG makes his check.

    [Heritage] 9:36 pm: can I get a witness?

    [Jordan] 9:37 pm: Witness!

[Centimane] 9:37 pm: witness

     [Carver] 9:37 pm: If he fails, he takes the damage. If he passes, then he takes no damage.

    [Heritage] 9:37 pm: thank you, Master Jordan!

Stargaizer refuses to witness

Okay, so the swarm fails by one degree of magnitude, as is therefore entranced!

[Heritage]

Okay, so the description now reads 'Within seconds, a long ropey chitinous creature shot through the narrow gap and wrapped its whole body around his face'. Lusungu, can you edit your post to reflect the closed door and the now clearer, non-tentacle nature of the bug?

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

Done.

Next time I'll remember to actually post my edit.

[Heritage]

Can i get a stealth roll, Lusy-Goosey?

[Lusungu Mercy Chanda]

Post edited in thread: Only Roll: 4 +20 Modifier = +24 :-(

[Heritage]

Do not be ashamed, O teleporting African one! The DC was just 15.

[Heritage]

Okay, sorry for the looooong delay in posts, for I am bad. I'm gonna do another post tomorrow to help bring Aurelius in - hooray!

[RushingMountain]

I'm just glad you're okay, given the joyful bliss life has brought to you the past few weeks. I hope the job hunt is going well?
