Violet
HP: 3 | CND: Unhurt | Room 110, Byrne House | Delta Class


A lot of the other students have gathered on top of the black building, so that's where Valerie wants to be: safety in numbers. Valerie likes safety. It's much better than not-safety. But...

The other flying girl would be all alone. And she seems confident, sure, but it doesn't feel right to leave her up here on her own, when there's going to be shooting going on...

Valerie whimpers to herself quietly and flies down to dive-bomb what she thinks is probably the most immediate threat in the area, the Defiant robot hovering just over the safe building. It would probably work better if she kept her eyes open while she was doing it, but it's her first time shoulder-checking a four ton unmanned gunship.

Unarmed Strike, DC 25 toughness: 1D20+6 = [3]+6 = 9

Yeah, Indio is up, followed by Chris and then I'll get to Violet's action.

Also, don't forget that I’m using House Rules on the Resistance Checks – which in this case means that Toughness Checks only get a +10 bonus, like what Fortitude & Will Checks get.

Edited cause the GM is easily confused by color code names. :roll:

Jessamine Sinclair of Room 411
HP: 3 | Condition: Acceptable

Hiding behind a pillar, Whisper carefully directed three of her Phantasms into position around the unsuspecting robot. She herself wouldn't be of much in this fight save to replenish her fallen, so she kept the one of them back and had it maintain a guarding stance nearby. Everything was as perfectly in place as she could've wished for it to be, and yet, there was an odd tightness to her chest. Perhaps, she reasoned, he really did need to adjust her costume at a later point.

"Mistress, we are ready." Three voices rang inside her head, and without delay she urged them all forward.

As a unit they charged. Won tasked itself with distracting it from the front, doing little in actual damage while Fwee moved in from behind. Tuu for its part raced up the wall and held tightly onto the ceiling before joining the frenzy of whirling nonexistent strands and claws. If they could managed to gain purchase on it, they would do their utmost to capitalize and latch on.

Team Attack!: 27/26/10 Will Save to Resist DC 17+5 Circumstance Bonus; Toughness DC 17+5 Circumstance Bonus
(Team)Fast Grab Attempt!: 21, 14

Sery Cmok (Zoska Vitoldovna Ipatava)
Class: Delta; Room: 509 Byrne House; Hero Points: 3; Current Condition: Fine

The swirling humanoid cloud of ash that makes up Sery Cmok's form flows up over the edge of the roof and towards the robot that lurks there. Somehow the 10 metre radius cloud of ashes and sparks that surrounds her avoids all of the other students, while swirling over and around the robot, hopefully blinding its sensors until she reaches it.

With a crunch of grinding ash and slag, the cloud of ash condenses back into the 4'10" tall compacted form she took earlier, right next to the robot, and with a shout of "Pamierci!" ('Die!' in Belarusian) she swings a rocky fist at it...

If that hits, DC 18 to resist the damage I think?

Skew
HP: 3 | LP: 2 | Cnd: Excited

Wally stands up and with a quick glance around to confirm where both opponents and allies were. He then brings both hands together and makes a 'Zhwooov' sound with his mouth as if wielding an invisible lightsaber. Every shift of his hands elicit another 'vroow' or 'wazhoo' sound of a moving saber in imitation from the movies.
Every portal created to intercept a blow is a new 'swish' of his 'lightsaber'.
[Deflect action, Any targeted attack from the big one or the flying robot. intercepted by a portal and whatever gets deflected shoots through portals above the flying robot (indirect for robot vulnerability).]

deflect 1, Deflect 2, Redirect 1, redirect 2: 4#1d20+8 19 13 15 27

second chance, deflect. second chance deflect: 1d20+8 20

so, if deflect 19 or 20 is higher than the attack roll of the first attack against someone within 400 feet of Wally that he can reasonably perceive, then a 15 to hit a flat-footed flying robot. (Damage the same as redirected attack). (if it does not beat the attack roll then the Deflect chain is broken).
The next attack, if a 23 beats the attack roll its redirected with a 27 to hit.
Complex, but make sense?

Dennis Sloane
HP: 3, LP: 3 (-1=2); Condition: Fine

Dennis eyes his four-legged target. He pushes his 6-inch crystal wand out of the side "pouch" he added to the costume design to hold it.

Well, Dad's wand.

He brings his hands together and rotates them around, focusing his magical energies through the crystal.

"Tellum!"

Sparkling darts spring out from his fingertips, guided towards their target by the wand.
Tellum attack vs Excelsior: 1d20+10 11

Allison Carson/ Stormdancer
HP: 2; LP: 1; Condition normal

There is a soft sound- a sigh, a whisper of wind... In the space of a heartbeat, the hovering cloud twisted, shrinking away to almost nothing. Allison dropped nearly straight down, coming to a stop about 50 feet above the flying robot that Violet had attacked.

She made a flicking gesture with one hand, and the sky lit with a bolt of lightning, lancing downwards towards the flying robot. She didn't have much experience with moving targets though, and as the flying bot slid aside from Violet's attempted strike, the lightning bolt slammed into the side of the building.

Allison rolled her eyes and sighed, making the same gesture with her other hand. This time the lightning bolt hit the flying robot squarely in what passed for a face...

>OOC: Attacking the Defiant robot that she can see. If it is already down by the time her turn comes around, attack the nearest robot to that, regardless of type, If that happens, I'll edit text to reflect this.
