Seeing that, Skew now will reroute attacks he can deflect back at their origin points). The portals will come from places the robots can't detect (indirect 4, maybe they'll be vulnerable).

"Tak! Pieramoha!" (Yes! Victory!) shouts Sery Cmok as the robot sags, incapacitated. She begins heading for the nearest active robot she can sense.

Chris:

Another vision flashes in your head. Acting on it, you pelt the flying robot with a bit of debris to get its attention and then time a jump so that another robot is in the first robot's line of fire.

Skyfall, Panda & Slingshot:

Even though their first effort hadn't worked as well as she had hoped, Skyfall none the less pressed on. "Plan B." She says as her eyes glow blue.

"Right." Panda answers.

"Coolio." Slingshot says with a giggle.

At this point the wheeled robot is surrounded by a new field of gravitational energy, but this time instead of flying up into the air the robot is pressed down upon. However, it somehow manages to fight the fundamental force and move towards the three teens.

"I lost it!" Skyfall says.

"We noticed." Slingshot says as her body starts to elongate, with her upper and lower halves wrapping around light posts on opposite sides of the street. "The plan can still work."

"It's just a moving target." Panda adds as he runs towards his stretched out teammate, hitting in the middle of her and pushing back almost ten feet back before lifting his feet off the ground so that he is launched towards the Intrepid.

Just a moment before making contact, Panda pulls back a large, fur covered fist and swings it at his target causing a loud crunching of metal sound and when he pulls back his fist there is a hole left behind leaking smoke and various liquids.

OOC wrote:Skyfall is up & she's using a new gravity attack.

Gravity Field Array Attack: _: 1D20+8 = [8]+8 = 16, that hits.

So now it's a contest between the Intrepid's Strength (1) and Skyfall's power rank (8).

Intrepid
Strength Check: _: 1D20+1 = [13]+1 = 14.

Skyfall's Power Check: _: 1D20+8 = [2]+8 = 10.

Well, she loses.

Panda is holding his Attack until Slingshot takes her turn.

Slingshot is going to Aid Panda.
Aid Check: _: 1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15, that'll give Panda a +2 bonus.

Panda's Unarmed Attack: _: 1D20+8+2 = [13]+8+2 = 23. That hits and is a Toughness DC 18.

Intrepid B's Toughness Check: _: 1D20+4 = [2]+4 = 6, that's a failure by 12. Intrepid B gets another Bruised Condition (x2) & is Staggered.

Excelsior B ( Skew, Mesh, Chris, Max, & Sery Cmok):

Just as Sery Cmok celebrates the group's victory over the Nova robot, one of the Excelsior robots clears the edge of the roof behind the group, pulling itself up over with both hands

It wastes no time in moving towards Mesh, having identified him as the more dangerous opponent of the group. Its moves with a speed one would not expect something it's size and construction and its metallic "hand" lashes out just as quickly, trying to score a hit on the reborn teen' side but one of Skew's mini portals appears in just the right place to catch the attack and send it at the Defiant robot overhead.

OOC wrote:Excelsior B is attacking Mesh.

Melee Attack: _: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19, that would be a hit, but Skew's Deflect roll beats out the Excelsior's roll. So instead the attack connects with the Defiant.

Defiant A (Violet & Stormdancer):

The flying robot continues to attack despite the damage done to it, firing on of its beams at Stormdancer. However, likely due to the severity of the damages done to it, the construct's aim is off and the blast passes a few feet to the left and above the flying girl by a few feet.

OOC wrote:The robot is Dazed, so it will go with an attack on Stormdancer since she damaged it last.

Defiant A's Attack: _: 1D20+5 = [13]+5 = 18, but with Stormdancer's bonuses that's a miss.

Nova A (Skew, Mesh, Chris, Max, & Sery Cmok):

The robot struggled to make its way through the mocked up office of the floor it had broken into, its design appaerently hadn't considered that it might have to fight indoors.
OOC wrote:Nova A will continue to make its way to the roof and will arrive next round.

Defiant B (Skew, Mesh, Chris, Max, & Sery Cmok):

A silver portal opens behind and to the right of the flying robot, placed there by Skew so that the Excelsior's attack that had been intended for Mesh was turned against the robots. While the Defiant is unable to avoid the redirected attack its armor plating on its backside is up to the challenge and withstands the weapons of its ally.

Immediately after something plinks off the "head" of the flying robot and its optical sensor tracks the trajectory of the hurled object back to where Chris is making an obvious target of himself. The mechanical mind quickly calculates the angles and fires off a new blast that appears to be directly headed for Chris, only for the teen to dodge out of the way at the last possible moment.

The shot then proceeds on behind Chris and hits the Excelsior robot meaning Mesh. While the Attack hits, the combat robots armor easily holds up under the surprise attack and merely ruins the perfect finish with a scorch mark.

OOC wrote:So the Excelsior had its attack on Mesh Deflected by Skewand sent into the Defiant, so first off a Toughness DC (15): _: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22, well that was a surprisingly good Roll. No Damage.

Now for Defiant B's Attack targeting Chris, which will end up going to the Excelsior thanks to Chris' Redirect Check.

Defiant B's Attack: _: 1D20+5 = [18]+5 = 23, and that hits. So the Excelsior has to beat a Toughness DC (15).

Toughness Check: [_: 1D20+5 = [15]+5 = 20, I am starting to worry that my dice Luck will run out soon with 2 good rolls back to back. No damage.

Intrepid A (Dennis & Whisper):

The wheeled robot struggles, impressively so, because of the damage done to it to try and come at Dennis, but the back right wheel appears to malfunction and the construct is unable to move.

OOC wrote:Intrepid A can't attack because its way of doing that requires it to be able to move and then attack, which it can't do due to its being Staggered.

So that's it for its turn.

Intrepid B (Skyfall, Panda & Slingshot ):

Thanks to Panda's massive punch, the Intrepid robots struggles to move as it is obviously seriously damaged by the attack; its entire frames shudders and shakes while it wheels try to move it but they aren't coordinating with one another and it ends up spinning in a small circle.

OOC wrote:Intrepid B can't attack because its way of doing that requires it to be able to move and then attack, which it can't do due to its being Staggered.

So that's it for its turn, and will bring us to the start of the next round. So everyone can post their actions.

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

Sery Cmok turns and moves towards the Excelsior that has just appeared over the edge of the roof, still in her compressed form, and with another wordless shout her fist lashes out in a punch!
OOC wrote: Sery Cmok attacks the Excelsior B!: 1D20+8 = [16]+8 = 24

If that hits, it's DC 23 Toughness to resist.

Chris Butler
HP: 3 LP: 4

"Yeahh....awwww" Chris cheered as the robot shot its ally and then cringed when it didn't seem to do anything. Changing direction after his jump, he ran by the robot again, trying to distract it so it wouldn't be ready for his brother's attack.
Aid action passing the bonus to Mack Aid check: 1d20+17 36
That's a +5 bonus to Mack's attack

Maximilian "Mack" Butler
HP: 1 Status: Normal


"The drop kick is a viable attack, only surpassed by the piledriver!" Mack yells, running for cover.

"Yeah!" He cheers when Chris tricks the robot into shooting it's friend only to watch nothing happen, "Awww."

As his brother ran past the robot, he snuck up behind it and jumped into the air to slam both fists down in an axe handle punch.

Mesh
HP:1 CND: Fine

Mateo smirks as the attack meant for him is deflected by Skew's portal. Already there were signs of instinctual teamwork. " Come, then, beast. Know that it is Beowulf who stands before you! Know that all that awaits is doom and misery!" With a battle roar, he leaps up, bringing his improvised weapon down upon the robot's shell.

Attacking the robot with the street sign.
_: 1D20+8 = [13]+8 = 21

Again, 18 to resist.
