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.

Defiant A's Attack: _: 1D20+5 = [13]+5 = 18, but with Stormdancer's bonuses that's a miss.
With no further instructions coming over the commlink, Valerie keeps doing what she's doing: she flies closer in and punches at the drone again. She's less concerned with her own safety, now that she's been shot and it doesn't hurt.

All-Out Attack 2: 1D20+8 = [13]+8 = 21

Jessamine Sinclair of Room 411
HP: 3 | Condition: Acceptable (Full Defense)

Whisper finds herself frowning at the pitiful sight of the struggling robot before her. It'd only take one good hit to take it out completely. Her phantasms were good at tearing these to shreds, but perhaps it was time for a different approach to landing a killing blow. If Sloan were to make the final strike while she herself was offering assistance, that might be a way to increase her standing in the eyes of both teacher and peer.

Speaking aloud for the underclassman's benefit, "Two, three, time your attacks with his own. One, start scouting for new targets. Four, remain where you are."

At once she felt the mental confirmations from the imaginary creations, each of them doing whatever they can to fulfill her orders.

Perception(Search for more robots): 24
Team Attack: 23 DC17 Will to resist
Team Attack: 19DC 17 Will to resist
Either +2 or +5 circumstance bonus to Dennis's attack effect rank.

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

Dennis watches as the two... whatevers create an opening for him to strike. Apparently, she numbers them. Makes sense since they don't appear to be totally real.

Usually setting up the target was his job, but he knew the drill well enough.

"Nice," he says to Jessamine as he aims his crystal towards the robot.

"Tellum!"
Tellum PA [2]: 1d20+10-2 24
If the first check is failed, Dennis gets +5, if only the second check is failed, he gets +2.

Allison Carson/ Stormdancer
HP: 2, LP: 1; Condition: Normal

Allison had not had her powers for very long, so she didn't have a lot of fancy tricks. She drifted ever so slightly in the air, and threw out another bolt of lightning towards one of the flying robots...





>OOC: Attacking with Storm Bolt again- if the Defiant that attacked her is still functional, target that one. Otherwise move to about 50 feet away from the other one and target that. Storm bolt 1d20+8= 24, roll https://orokos.com/roll/967149 (That should hit, so DC 18 Toughness to resist)

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

Why bodge the aces?! Skew kept his eyes open for incoming hits and his hands (needlessly) swooped like birds to intercept and redirect.

3 deflect / redirects.: 6#1d20+8 20 27 19 12 13 26
Attack 1, 20 to Deflect, 27 to redirect
Attack 2, 19 to Deflect, 12 to redirect
Attack 3, 13 to deflect, 26 to redirect
Some low rolls, might be someone getting tagged.

Indigo, Violet, & Stormdancer:

Indigo once again appears on top of the top white building and sends an indigo beam of energy at the flying robot.

Still reeling from Stormdancer's lightning bolt, the Defiant is hit adding another hole in its armor that adds a new trail of smoke to the other.

With no further instructions coming over the commlink, Violet keeps going with what has been working for her - flying in close on the drone again and punching it. Her fist drives into the newly made hole by Indigo's blast and making it worse as she pulls out bit and pieces of the robot's metallic innards as she pulls her hand free.

Stormdancer hadn't had her powers for very long, so she didn't have a lot of fancy tricks to use. So she drifted somewhat in the air before throwing out another bolt of lightning towards the flying robot.

Once again the attack connects, but it seems that the Defiant robot might be better equipped to handle her attack this time around as this lightning bolt manages to leave a charred circular mark where it hit.

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

Mesh smirks as the attack meant for him is deflected by one of Skew's portals. "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.

The improvised weapon slams into the shoulder of the Excelsior, but only leaves a dent behind. Meanwhile Mack had managed to sneak up on the large robot and jumped into the air, slamming both of his fists down in an axe handle punch only to discover that this robot's body is better armored than the other robot they'd fought.

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 she lashes out in a punch!

Hitting the robot in its side, the altered girl leaves a large second dent in the Excelsior' frame.

"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 Excelsior, trying to distract it so it wouldn't be ready for his brother's next attack.

Whisper & Dennis:


Whisper frowns at the struggling robot before her. After considering her options for a moment she speaks. "Two, Three, time your attacks with his own. One, start scouting for new targets. Four, remain where you are."

Almost immediately the imaginary creations give her mental confirmations that they would fulfill her orders and begin doing so. Unseen by the naked eye, Two and three fly towards the heavily damaged robot with their Claws outstretched while One flies up into the air so that it can survey the area seeking out a new target and Four staying in place ready to defend his mistress from possible attacks.

Dennis watches as the two... unthings make an opening for him to strike. Apparently, she numbers them. Makes sense since they don't appear to be totally real.

Usually setting up the target was his job, but he knew the drill well enough. "Nice," he says to Jessamine as he aims his crystal towards the robot.

He utters a single word. "Tellum!" Then a new barrage of glowing orbs release from his focus item and head directly for the robot as the pair of imaginary creations keep the Intrepid robot's attention on them as they slash and rake their claws across its mangled form.

In the blink of an eye all of the orbs have further deformed the robot's body, either making all new holes in it or creating new ones. Nonetheless, the robots left arm falls off while a small pools worth of multi-colored fluid pour onto the ground from the almost foot wide hole on its right side. Its at this point that the Intrepid's lighted eyes finally darken until they are black and it's body goes limp, to damaged to continue.
OOC wrote: Two & Three team attacking Intrepid A with Dennis; 23/19 attack/Will DC17 resist both
Both hit.
Two's Will DC (17): _: 1D20+5 = [5]+5 = 10, it fails.
Three's Will DC (17): _: 1D20+5 = [9]+5 = 14, and it fails this one as well.


One's Perception(Search for more robots): 24.

It spots the other three fights; Violet, Indigo, & Stormdancer fighting a Defiant robot, Skew, Mesh, Chris, Mack, & Sery Cmok fighting the other Defiant and an Excelsior with the remains of a Nova spread around the top of the black glass building, and Skyfall, Slingshot, & Panda fighting the other Intrepid.

The other Nova cannot be seen.

Dennis is attacking Intrepid A; 24 attack/Toughness DC 30 (bonuses from multiattack & team attack)

Intrepid A's Toughness Check: _: 1D20+2 = [14]+2 = 16, which leaves it with Bruised x4 Staggered x2 which automatically makes it Incapacitated & out of the fight.

Skyfall, Panda & Slingshot:

"Alright, maneuver three!" Skyfall says to her two teammates with an obvious tinge of frustration in her voice.

"Relax gal, we'll beat this souped up go-kart." Slingshot says as she rolls her eyes, hernarms stretching out into a shape similar to an ice cream scoop and picks up a smattering of the debris scattered around her.

"Calm minds make better choices." Panda days as he squares up on the smaller robot.

"Less back talk." Skyfall answers back, still sounding just as frustrated as before. As she speaks, several broken pieces of the street float a couple of feet in the air. Shen quickly glances in Slingshot's direction to check if her partner is ready and gets a smirk and a head nod from the blonde girl.

Without a word said between them, the two teens hurl repeating waves of rubble at the robot. As the Intrepid robots struggles to figure out what is happening Panda moves in close once again and unleashes a surprising axe kick that drives the robot's head down into its body with a loud metallic crunching sound that is followed by all of the robot's operating light black out permanently.

OOC wrote:Skyfall & Slingshot are going to Aid Panda on the Attack.

Skyfall's Aid Acton Check: _: 1D20+8 = [5]+8 = 13, +2 bonus to Panda.

Slingshot's Aid Action Check: _: 1D20+2 = [20]+2 = 22, +5 bonus to Panda.

Panda's Attack: Power Attack-2/+2: 1D20+6 = [12]+6 = 18, that hits.


Intrepid B's Toughness Check (DC 25): _: 1D20+3 = [7]+3 = 10, that's a failure by 15 which gives it another Staggered Condition that means it is now Incapacitated & out of the fight.

Excelsior B (Skew, Mesh, Chris, Mack & Sery Cmok - Bruised x2 & Staggered )
Defiant A (Violer, Indigo & Stormdancer - Bruised x5 & Dazed until after Indigo's turn)
Nova A (Fine; on way to Skew, Mesh, Chris, Mack & Sery Cmok's fight)
Defiant B (Skew, Mesh, Chris, Mack & Sery Cmok - Bruised x1)
Excelsior B & Defiant B (Skew, Mesh, Chris, Mack & Sery Cmok:

The Excelsior tries again to score a hit on Mesh but again one of Skew's portals opens up just in the right place to send the claws somewhere else. Like the back of the Defiant robot for instance, however this time the flying construct manages to withstand the attack.

Staying focused on its last target, namely Chris, the Defiant let's lose another energy blast but like the Excelsior's Attack, a silver portal opens up and shunts the beam away from the psychic teen and right into the undamaged side of the animal based robot. This time the machine's armor holds up and tanks the attack.

At this point all five of you can hear the sounds of automatic weapons firing and something crashing in response beneath your location. Clearly one of the other robots is coming towards your location through the building you're on top of.

OOC wrote:Excelsior B will try to Attack Mesh again.

Excelsior B's Attack: _: 1D20+5 = [1]+5 = 6, well that's a miss but Skew's Deflect/Redirect Check catches it and sends it at Defiant B.

Redirected Attack Check on Defiant B (DC 15): _: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22, tough little bastard. No damage.

Defiant B will Attack Chris.
Attack Check: _: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19, that's just a miss but again Skew's Deflect/Redirect Check catches it and sends it at Excelsior B.

Defiant A (Violer, Indigo & Stormdancer):

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.
OOC wrote: Defiant A Will Attack Stormdancer.

Attack Check: _: 1D20+5 = [3]+5 = 8, nope total miss.



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

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

Skew didn't think the Nova's could fly and they already had enough opponents to deal with. He timed 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 lead to open air some 5 meters from the side of the building. Let's see if a decent fall couldn't dampen it's day.
I don't know if you'd consider this a deception roll

Mesh
HP:3
CND: Battle-drunk

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.
Okay, using Variable to give myself Power Attack
_: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22

That should be a hit, meaning it's DC 23 to resist this time.

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

Given that her first attack worked so well, Sery Cmok continues the winning formula with a follow up punch in much the same fashion!

"Zdochni, robat-mraź!" she shouts melodramatically as she attacks. [Die, robot scum!]
OOC wrote: Sery Cmok attacks the Excelsior B (again)!: 1D20+8 = [11]+8 = 19

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