Dennis Sloane

Dennis smiles as the robot goes down. "We make a good team."

Dennis looks around for additional targets.

"Everyone looks to have multiple dance partners. You see anything around?"
Unless Whisper indicates another target, then Dennis will ready an action to put a shield around the two of them should something pop up and surprise them.

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

Her face turns to look towards the building her phantasm had spotted most the other students, a frown under her mask. "Two Defiants, both engaged with in combat. One of the nova was taken out atop that building, while the other is unaccounted for. The last Entripid was just taken out as well. The commotion of combat might draw the last Nova out, and the building's the closest option."

With a thought she gathers her phantasms back around herself, one of them lifting her off her feet to begin scaling. She looks down to the underclassman with mute consideration. "Do you need help to reach the top?"

If sloan accepts, she'll have another Phantasm pick him up to carry. Otherwise she'll have hers start climbing on it's own.
Am I dead? Am I alive? The answer may surprise you!

Dennis Sloane
HP: 3, LP: 2; Condition: Fine

Seeing Jessmine get picked up by one of her... friends, he raises an eyebrow. Looking to the roof of the building, he simply whispers, "Portare" as he twists his wrist.

He vanishes and then reappears on the roof.
Move action to the top and then take a Defend action.

Without comment, the Phantasm follows quickly behind with the other three in tow.
Ditto.

Chris Butler
HP: 3 LP: 4

"Mack, flying elbow!" Chris called out to his brother. Then he put his hands together and got down on one knee, ready to boost Mack into the air.
Aid action: 1d20+17 37 I guess Chris really likes Aiding
+5 to Mack's attack. If the attack doesn't hit, I'll use Luck Control to give him a reroll.

Maximilian "Mack" Butler
HP: 1 Status: Normal

Mack took a running start, planting his foot into Chris' hands and jumping as his brother launched him into the air.

"A.E.D.!" He bellowed as he twisted in midair to drop down on top of the robot, boney elbow leading the way.

Despite all of the sparks and smoke leaking from the damaged areas on it, the Defiant robot somehow manages to stay in the air and targets Stormdancer with its energy weapons. When it does fire its shot it becomes apparent that the damage done to it has been severe as the energy beam goes very wide of the weather controlling teen, slamming into the top floor of a building a block behind and to the right of her.
For a second, Valerie winces inwardly as she thinks about the property damage. Then she realizes she's being silly - this is all just a mock battleground, after all. And even if it wasn't, it's not like the beam that hit her hurt at all...

Wait. Was it not about getting hurt in the first place? Was it just a test to see if they could avoid the beams? Did she already fail?!

Valerie moans to herself and tries to kick the stupid robot again.

All-Out Attack 2 again, rank 10 damage: 1D20+8 = [11]+8 = 19

Skew, Mesh, Mack, Sery Cmok, & Chris:

Skew didn't think the Nova' could fly and they already had enough opponents to deal with. He timed it to where the ascending one would be turning the landing and precisely angled a portal so it would 'see' a rooftop as it moved forward to engage the 'interlopers'. Really it was a portal that led to open air some 5 meters from the side of the building. Let's see if a decent fall couldn't dampen its day.


The weapon-toting robot never even realized it was being deceived, walking right into a trap and doesn't have time to acknowledge its situation until the moment gravity took hold of it and straight down to the ground some fifty feet down.


Growling, Mateo grips his improvised weapon more tightly, his knuckles white as he gathers all his strength, forgoing accuracy for furious, powerful strikes. A red veil begins to descend before his eyes and he welcomes the berserk fury like an old comrade.

" HIIIAAAAARGH!" he yells, leaping up and bringing the sign crashing down.

The resulting noise that comes from the contact is somewhere between a high-speed car crash and a car compactor crushing a vehicle. Once the noise stops the two jagged and torn halves of the Excelsior fall to bother sides after Mesh's Attack cleaves it apart.


Given that her attacks worked so well on the last robot, Sery Cmok continues the winning formula with a punch on the flying Defiant in much the same fashion she'd used on the Excelsior! "Zdochni, robat-mraź!" She shouts melodramatically as she leaps to attack.

The hovering drone tried to avoid the attack but the redirected attacks had done enough damage that it was slow to react and the smokey girl's fist slammed into the front joint on the right where the wing attached to the robot's body where she leaves a fist-shaped dent behind to prove her plan worked.


"Mack, flying elbow!" Chris called out to his brother. Then he put his hands together and got down on one knee, ready to boost Mack into the air.

Mack took a running start, planting his foot into Chris' hands and jumping as his brother launched him into the air.

"A.E.D.!" He bellowed as he twisted in midair to drop a bboney elbow on the flying robot.


Mack's elbow hits the Defiant squarely on top of its "head", causing the hovering automation to tip downwards for a moment before it rights itself. The gong-like noise he made with his Attack rings out like a church bell.

OOC wrote:Skew's Deception 28.

Nova A's Insight Check: _: 1D20+5 = [10]+5 = 15, totally fails & falls into the portal trap.

Toughness Check (DC 16): _: 1D20+5 = [4]+5 = 9, that's a failure by 5, so the Nova gets a Bruise.

Mesh's Attack 22. That hits so that'll be a Toughness DC 23.

Excelsior B's Toughness Check: _: 1D20+3 = [3]+3 = 6, ow. Well, the Excelsior is Incapacitated & out of the fight.



Sery Cmok's Attack 19. Since the Excelsior is out of the fight I'll just switch her Attack to the Defiant. It hits and that's a Toughness DC 23.

Defiant B's Toughness Check: _: 1D20+4 = [17]+4 = 21, just another Bruise (x2 total).


Mack's Attack 23. That hits as well and will be a Toughness DC 20.

Defiant B's Toughness Check: _: 1D20+3 = [14]+3 = 17, and another Bruise (x3 total). Slowly whittling these surprisingly resilient suckers.

Violet, Indigo & Stormdancer:

For a second, Valerie winces inwardly as she thinks about the property damage that the robot's latest attack did. Then she realizes she's being silly - this is all just a mock battleground, after all. And even if it wasn't, it's not like the beam that hit her hurt at all...

Wait. Was it not about getting hurt in the first place? Was it just a test to see if they could avoid the beams? Did she already fail?! Valerie moans to herself and tries to kick the stupid robot again.

The damaged robot feebly tries to avoid the punt kick, but fails and loses just over half of its left wing as a result.

Indigo releases her namesake colored streak of light fly at the robot once again. Afterward, she teleports to the roof of the central white building.

This time the indigo beam cuts dead center of the robot's body, causing it to split apart into two large, chunky, smoking pieces that fall to the ground below with a loud crash.

Stormdancer calls out to Violet. "Looks like the others are fighting a couple of the robots." She points to where Skew, Mesh, Sery Cmok, Mack and Chris are fighting one of the Excelsior robots and the other Defiant. It's at this moment that the falling Nova robot pops into view several yards next to the black glass building then immediately falls to the ground causing a new denting clang noise to fill the air. As the smoke clears around the point of impact it is already getting up, still able to fight.

"We should probably help them out." Stormdancer says before flying towards the now Grounded robot.

OOC wrote:Violet's attack hits.
Defiant A's Toughness Check (DC 20): _: 1D20+0 = [7]+0 = 7, that's a failure by 13 so it is Bruised (x6) & Staggered.

Indigo's attack hits as well.
Defiant A's Toughness Check (DC 23): _: 1D20+-1 = [6]+-1 = 5, big time fail by 18 which makes it Incapacitated & out of the fight.

Stormdancer will point out the remaining robots fighting on the rooftop & move to there.

Dennis & Whisper:

The two of you easily cover the distance from the intersection to the rooftop of the black glass building.

OOC wrote: Both of you cross the distance without any problem.

Whisper does see the Nova robot's crash landing on the ground on her way.

Skyfall, Panda & Slingshot:

As their opponent stops functioning Skyfall looks over the area trying to spot a new foe for the trio to fight just in time to witness the Nova robot's fall to the ground. She directs her two teammate's attention the Nova's way. "Should we take advantage of someone dropping that one like a hot potato?"

Slingshot giggles. "Is that a serious question?"

"Pretty sure it was rhetorical." Panda says as he stands up straight and looks over to Skyfall. "Any ideas on how we're getting over there? Cause I'm slow compared to you two."
Skyfall smirks. "Was that a rhetorical question? Of course I do." She answers before explaining her latest idea to her allies.

Moments later Skyfall is rising up into the air, holding Slingshot under her arms while the elastic girl extends her legs around Panda's torso. A glowing yellow sphere surrounds the trio as Skyfall readies her powers.

Meanwhile Slingshot stretches out both of her arms in front of her, wrapping them around the post of a pair of streetlights several times. As she finishes securing her "grip", Panda uses his powerful legs to push the trio backwards over a dozen feet that further stretches out his elastic teammate's arms.

It's at this point that Skyfall activates her powers and gravity no longer holds the group to the ground and that has instant results - Slingshot's arms immediately pull the three teens forward, heading directly for the Nova robot as it was starting to get up.


OOC wrote:Skyfall makes a Perception Check: _: 1D20+8 = [11]+8 = 19. That's good enough.

The group will spend this turn getting to the Nova.

Skew, Mesh, Chris, Mack & Sery Cmok:


The Defiant hovering above the rooftop fight is the only remaining robot there. Nonetheless it continues to attack, firing another beam of energy that it sends in Mesh's direction only to have it go wide and to the right, missing the powerhouse teen.

OOC wrote:Defiant B will Attack Mesh.

Attack Roll: _: 1D20+5 = [8]+5 = 13, I'm assuming that is a miss.
