Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Slapdash took a step to one side, allowing Miss Mighty to fly past him. "When I come up with an idea, I grab what's closest to me to make it. It's a problem of mine; sorry," he says blandly, watching Miss Mighty in case she attacks again. "I'll pay you back for the phone."

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Riordan steps between the enraged supervillainess and his teammate. "Now, now, Miss Mighty," he says, voice melodic as it is soothing. "Let's focus on the task at hand--putting your sister in her place. And with backup on your side, odds are she won't be able to bother you for awhile after this."
He turns to the rest of the team and raises his flute. "If you give me a description of the house, I can have us all there in a flash. If Miss Mighty here could describe a room in the building, I could probably even get us into that room for a surprise attack." Sure, it's usually frowned upon by the Courts to enter a home uninvited, but he'd have the implicit permission of a member of the owner's blood family, so, y'know.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
The triplets edged closer, fanning out a bit. Truth was, Miss Mighty had come into this with a fairly limited supply of good will, and going after Trevor had pretty much burned it up. Her attitude towards her sister had likewise evaporated the sympathy they had felt for her - this clearly wasn't a one-sided conflict.
From a tactical standpoint, Miss Mighty didn't seem to have much value to them besides being another pair of fists. Caleb could admit, there was a part of him that favored the idea of responding with force, taking her down quickly, and bringing her to the police before going after her sister. It would have been the quick and easy solution. But those solutions rarely led to a long-term resolution to a problem, and strictly speaking she had been trying to grab him, not punch him out cold.
"You're being given a second chance here," Amy said quietly, since by this point neither of her siblings were in an especially diplomatic mood where Miss Mighty was concerned. "Don't waste it over a phone."A role playing game is three things. It is an interactive story, a game of chance, and a process in critical thinking.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Miss Mighty glared daggers at Trevor as if doing so might spontaneously grant her the ability to shoot lasers from her eyes (it's comic books it might!) but realised that even if her wish came true she'd be severely outnumbered.
"Lets just do this thing, okay?" She grumbled, her fists clenched tight.
She might not have known where her sister was hiding but between the information that Suzie had gleaned from the destroyed dollbot and Riordan's magic, the team were quickly whisked away to an industrial estate at the other side of town. The quartet of warehouses there each sported large metal shutters that once upon a time allowed for the loading and loading of goods along with numerous smaller doors around their sides and windows set high up on the walls to provide light but all of them had long since been given over to vagrant and graffiti artists. The signal would lead them straight to the warehouse on the estates center...
"So do you good guys knock first or what?" Miss Mighty inquired, stepping casually forwards.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Do we know for sure she's in there or if it's just a decoy? Then again, if I were hiding out in a place like this, I'd have sensors and defenses on auto, so we might just have to follow those. Ooo, or maybe she'll come out herself. Nah, probably not that last one...

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
"I mean, I dunno, I've always been a fan of the classic Dynamic Entry, myself," Nadia said.
"I suppose it could be, but that'd basically just be her ability to redirect the signal against your ability to track it, right?" Caleb asked Suzie. "I'll take those odds."
"Riordan could also just like blink us inside, right? That'd be fun. Could you blink us into lots of different positions, or would we have to be all clustered up? Could like all appear in a circle around the place and then it's like ha auto-surrounded!"
"Um...what's wrong with knocking?"
"I mean, nothing's wrong with it, strictly speaking. I'm just spitballing. Operation: Knock on the Door is solid and dependable, but kinda lacks oomph. Unless maybe like a bunch of us hid around the corner and she thinks everything's fine and then it's like 'oh no! Where did you all come from!?' That would be funny."

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Damian gave Nadia a look that seemed to be a mixture of bemusement, poorly-suppressed amusement and resignation, before just kinda...trying to pretend that she hadn't just said most of what she had and talking to Amy instead. "What are you gonna say when you knock on the door? 'Hi, we're your friendly neighbourhood heroes and also Miss Mighty, and we're pretty sure this place was used to send out giant murder-y dolls stuffed with teddy bears that could have killed dozens of people. Would you mind opening the door for us to come and beat you up?'"
"Unless," he added, upon reflection, "you meant that one of us should knock on the door." He gestured to himself and Miss Mighty, though he knew full well that any of the group would be more than capable of bashing in the door if needed."Follow the moonwalking Nosepass!"
"Can you put the lich in a box?"

"I support that second one," Nadia said, biting her lip to keep from grinning too widely.
"I was...more thinking to tell her she's under arrest for supervillainy and to please come quietly so nobody has to get hurt. I mean, there's kinda a lot of us, so maybe she won't try to fight?"
"Yeah that'll happen," Nadia smirked. Even her optimism could only go so far. (Or maybe it was just that she was actually hoping for an epic fight. One of those two for sure.)A role playing game is three things. It is an interactive story, a game of chance, and a process in critical thinking.

"If she knocks--or 'knocks'--on the door," Slapdash says, pointing to Miss Mighty, "We'll have a fight no matter what. Maybe one of us should try talking to her, first.
"What's her name?" he asks abruptly. "Your sister. You never said."

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Caleb nodded in agreement. "Miss Mighty, if you could like go around the corner, please," he requested. "And kindly not jump out and attack her unless she strikes first," he added.
"Come on, we can watch from the air, so we'll spot her if she tries to slip off or anything," Nadia said, taking to the air above the warehouse.
Caleb would give time for anyone else who wanted to clear line of sight to do so, but assuming there were no objections, he'd then knock politely on the door.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
"Fiiiiine." Miss Mighty replied with a put upon air, taking off after Nadia and leaving a rapidly vanishing trail of glimmering light in her wake. Once they were in position she turned her attention to the angel next to her.
"Hey, have you got a phone? I didn't have a chance to tell my friends from the club that I'm okay before that little dumbass totaled mine."
Back down on the ground the sound of childish giggling and hushed snickers followed Caleb's knocking along with demands for them to "Shhhh!"
"Whoooo iiiis iiiiit? Came the reply.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Nadia gave Miss Mighty her most cheery smile. "I have a phone, yeah. You can make a call with it," she said. "...If you can tell me one thing you love, respect, or admire about your sister," she stipulated with a serious look. "And I mean something real. Not some passive-aggressive 'compliment' that is actually a put-down due to how trivial it is."
Did Nadia think this would in any way meaningfully advance the process of repairing this obviously damaged filial relationship? Well, no.
Did she think it was suitable vengeance for rejecting her fistbump? ...Call it a good start.
Down on the ground, Caleb exchanged a sidelong glance with Amy. Miss Mighty had said her sister had stopped aging, but he had assumed she had meant physically. That was the response of a mischievous child, though. A true cognitive impairment, a simple personal quirk, or a calculated deception?
He wasn't sure, but wouldn't have bet on the latter. What their actual developmental levels were he'd need more evidence to figure out, but behaviorally, Miss Mighty sure didn't seem like she had progressed far beyond being a rebellious, self-centered teenager. It would certainly be possible for her sister to retain the characteristics of an impulsive child.
Which...was enough to cause Caleb to hesitate some. He was a social worker. A child's reasoning ability behind high-level superpowers was undeniably dangerous, but it wasn't dangerous in the same way as a supervillain's malice, and didn't deserve the same response. You don't treat a troubled child the way you treat a career criminal.
"We're the Defenders of Tomorrow," Caleb answered. "We're here to talk to you, Miss Mechanus. Can you come out and speak with us, please?"

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Miss Mighty just looked at Nadia flatly "Hate you." she said with a sigh, there was no way in hell that she was going to say anything nice about her sibling so she kissed her hopes of seeing a phone goodbye. "Did you miss the part where she attacked me with giant robots"
Down below Buddy Ball's internal mechanisms churned and rumbled as he prepared to disgorge candy at a moments notice.
"Please come out and talk to us! We have delicious candy! =D"
A few moments later the door opened just wide enough for a girl of about eight or nine to step out in front of them before closing again. Wearing a frilly pink dress and with ribbons in her blonde hair she looked a million miles away from her dingy industrial surroundings.
"'Bout what?" She asked, the very picture of wide eyed innocence.

"Tell me something," Damian said a few moments after Miss Mighty's reply to Nadia, scowling at her, "what do your parents think about all this ---- goin' on between you two?"
He was distracted before she could reply by the emergence of the...overly pink and frilly eight-year-old. "Ten bucks says she's another robo-doll thing," he muttered under his breath to Nadia and Miss Mighty. And then his face shifted slightly, developing somewhat reptilian features - and a forked tongue, which he flicked out, snake-like, tasting the air to see if the 'girl' below smelt human.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
"So that means you can't think of a single nice thing to say about her? She's completely devoid of any redeeming qualities? You can't even call to mind a single memory of something you used to like about her? I don't buy it."
She glanced to Damian with a grin. "Yeah, I'll take that bet. I'm kinda guessing the dollbots are inside with her, rather than her being a decoy."
Down below, Amy shot a look to Caleb, a little wide-eyed. Her brother did not respond. "Thank you for talking to us," he said. "Earlier this evening, three giant robots that looked like dolls attacked a club your sister was at. We traced their communications back here. Were those your dolls?"

Slapdash sidles over to Amy, his rusty mech-suit creaking and clanking lightly as he walks. "The girl is probably a robot; there are three more getting ready to shoot us with rifles on the roof," he says in a low voice, trusting that the triplets will all know this as soon as he says it. "There's also some kind of... doll... spider... person, in a unitard. I think it's planning to attack the dolls, but I'm not sure."

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Amy's eyes got a little wide (there was still a tiny part of her that responded like a normal person to things like being told there were snipers lining up shots for her and such), but she dutifully sent Slapdash's words to her siblings.
Nadia got a very flat look on her face.
"You know what? I take it all back. You sister's a punk," she grumbled as she pulled a ten out of her wallet and handed it to Damian without looking at him. "Also robots on the roof looking like they're prepping to shoot us, and like...some weird dude that may or may not be the enemy of our enemy somewhere."
~We're clear to punch now, right? You two are cool with the punching?~

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Miss Mighty just shrugged in answer to Damian's question "They used to throw down with the Sentinel Society, they just think this is a thing we do. Anyway she ran away from home, not much they could do about it even if they wanted to."
"Yep! And then you had to go and break them..." The young girl pouted and stomped her foot petulantly "That wasn't fair! This has nothing to do with you!" She shrieked back at Caleb, flailing her arms from side to side.
"Now you're getting it." Miss Mighty grinned at Nadia's summation of her hated sibling "Sooooo, phone?" She held out her hand gesturing expectantly.
Unfortunately for Damian's bet the girl below him smelt completely human, then again so did the four identical shooters on the roof, so maybe there was hope yet. The figure scuttling around in the darkness though? Totally a robot.

"Well, gotta admit," Damian said, pocketing the note Nadia had handed him, "they all taste pretty human - man, that's a weird thing to say - but I'll never object to taking your money."
"Scuttly-dude back there tastes like a robot though," he added. "What's your dad go in for in terms of looks for his bots?" he asked Miss Mighty. He didn't wait for a response, though, gliding down to land behind the snipers on the roof. "Your mommy never teach you aiming sniper rifles at people is rude?" he asked, as tentacles erupted from his back and lashed out at the four identical (maybe) robots, carefully whipping around both Slapdash and the scuttly (definitely) robot.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
"Like a junkyard threw up on a Transformer." Miss Mighty called after Damien.
The night air was pierced by the sounds shrieks and sobs as Slapdash pulls back is fist on the bruised face of a bawling little girl, then his teammate landed on the rooftop lashing out with his tentacles at the snipers and reducing them to piles sparking limbs and broken wires, they were robots! That could have been awkward...
"My mommy beat up people like you!" The last remaining robot (?) on the roof shrieked at Damian and stomped her foot, which would have been nothing more than a petulant gesture if she didn't also open fire on him with the rifle in her hand.
The humanoid figure on the roof silently hurled itself in to the fray, dancing from limb to bladed limb and elegantly slashing at the Defenders on the roof, twirling artfully across the rooftop in constant motion.
"Yay!" The sounds of battle up above were music to the ears of the Miss Mechanus on the ground, she threw her arms forward and rushed towards Caleb. Then she exploded, ecstatic to have fulfilled her overriding life goal programmed in to her by her creator. When the blast cleared the warehouse in front of them had lost a huge chunk of its front wall and standing in rubble was yet another little girl in a frilly pink dress flanked by an hulking mechanical teddy bear.
Let it never be said that filling in for The Futurist was dull.
"Look what you made her do." The little girl chided them, holding out her hands to catch a gun that was almost as big as she was appearing out of thin air, humming ominously as the trigger was pulled crackling green energy shot from the cannon towards Caleb to halt all biological processes with the angel host's body.
"Hugs are fun!" The bear chuckled, its entire front splitting open to reveal a veritable iron maiden of spinning blades, pointed spikes and metal tendrils that surged towards Amy.
Up in the air Miss Mighty didn't move a muscle and simply watched the scene play out below her. That's right Nadia, she could be petty and unhelpful too.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
BOOM! The mechamiss exploded in point-blank range of Caleb and Amy.
They just kinda stood there.
ZAP! The biorhythm disruptor hit Caleb full in the chest.
He still just...kinda stood there.
And the bear, well, that could have been more problematic, but fortunately Damian took care of that for them.
"Yipes...!" Amy murmured, eyes a bit wide. That whole thing seemed...rather brutal. "Thanks, Genesis!"
"Your sister's adorable," Nadia told Miss Mighty, her tone of voice making it clear that she spoke in mockery, before flying down to join her siblings. "Nice save, Gen. I wouldn't be able to bear it if anything happened to Amy."
"Oh God don't please..."
"Slapdash! Regroup! Amy, Nadia, let's set up some fortifications!"
"Eh, sure, these guys aren't even giant or anything."
The triplets began layering their defensive powers. One good turn deserving another, Amy set a pink-glowing hand on Damian's back, healing one of his injuries. Nadia radiated an aura of sky blue light, which would harden into a shield before any ally in need. Caleb focused his Faith outward into a silvery dome, condensing it until it was nearly as hard and unyielding as his own will. To his foes, it would appear a completely opaque wall of pure silver radiance, but to his allies, it was just a soft silver light, which they could see, pass, and even shoot through unhindered.

Free: As the triplets come together, their currently active Coordinate Senses power reaches full strength. They automatically see through all illusions and non-object concealment, and their sight is Rapid 2, so they can easily take in the whole area at a glance. Perception: (1d20+10)[26].
Free: Swap to and activate Decoordinate. Basically a totally normal Bless except the Create is Selective rather than Impervious.
Standard: Bless. Damian gets healed one condition (I assume since he Interposed he should be in Close range at this point, square AU50 maybe?) Nadia's Cloud Area Deflect fills a 15' radius with Caleb's Selective Create just within its perimeter. The Create doesn't impede allies at all (you can shoot through it, or go out, hit them, and Move-by-Action back inside, if desired), provides Total Cover and Total Concealment against opponents, resisting attacks at +10. The Deflect protects all within at 1d20+10, minimum 20 (no +10 bonus), -1 per point Toughness exceeds 10. The Barrier is Deflected as well, so it is not Defenseless or subject to auto-crits. Since the Deflect is Cloud Area, it will protect any ally who enters it later, but only protects while within.
Current Status: Fatigued, Deflected (1d20+6, min 16).A role playing game is three things. It is an interactive story, a game of chance, and a process in critical thinking.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
If Slapdash had still been on the dance floor from earlier that night, he would have astonished the crowd with the impromptu bout of break-dancing he now pulls off, avoiding all of the mechanical ballerina's scything blades even while encased in his scrap metal suit. "So, you're an invention of hers too; my mistake," he mutters under his breath, glancing between the faceless doll and the still strikingly humanoid robot in front of him.
Slapdash acknowledges Caleb's call to regroup by stepping off of the roof, his jets cutting in quickly to turn his fall into controlled flight. He glances over the field for a moment and lands heavily between Nadia and the giant teddy bear, his enormous fist outstretched in an attempt at a crushing blow. Trevor's eyes are on the girl in pink frills in the middle of the warehouse, however. This turned into a fight too quickly; I didn't even get the chance to say anything. He looks away, shaking his head. What would I say, anyways?
Spoiler: OOCMove Action: Shift to AT49.
Standard Action: Megaton Punch on Mr. Bear, All-Out Attacking for 5, Power Attacking for 3. (1d20+10)[23] On a hit, Damage DC 30, Fortitude (lol) DC 25 vs. Dazed & Vulnerable/Stunned & Prone/Paralyzed & Unaware.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
"Lasers," Damian grumbled. "Again, lasers. Why is it always ----ing lasers?"
He promptly found himself dealing with something that was decidedly not a laser as the scuttling robot came slicing its way across the roof. Jumping back with a beat of his wings, he soared out of range just in time to see the giant bear emerge from the new hole in the wall. As it unfolded into all its saws and spikes, he dived down at it, catching its tendrils with his own and holding it back before it could get near Amy. "You like hugs, huh? Well, here's a hug for you." So saying, he transformed into a massive snake, and slithered forwards, the top...probably third of his body coiling around the bear and squeezing while the rest of his probably-200-foot length formed something of a circle around the rest of the group.
As he spiralled around the bear, he found himself looking up at Miss Mighty, who was still floating about on the roof. "Hey, are you gonna help or are you too scared of your little sister's toys?" he yelled up at her.
Spoiler: OOCSo with Evasion 2, the Ballerina would miss Damian, so he's on 1 Bruise and Dazed, and then Amy heals the Bruise.
Move: Dazed.
Free: Switch to Constrictor.
Standard: Elongate over to and attack Mister Bear with Constrictor, power attacking for 5: (1d20+5)[13]. (Kinda hoping the giant bear has low defence. ) On a hit, DC30 Toughness vs damage and DC25 Strength vs grab.
EDIT: Wait, I'm deflected. Darn it, I should have all-out attacked. Unless the laser guns don't care about Deflect, in which case I'm glad I didn't all-out attack.
Status: 1 Bruise, Dazed this round, Deflected at 1d20+8 (min 18).Last edited by Llyarden; 2017-10-10 at 09:44 AM.

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Slapdash was right really, the Defenders had attacked Miss Mechanus first, just a little something for him to think about as his enormous fist bounced off of Mister Bear with hollow metal clang.
"That's not how you hug!" The mechanical bear helpfully reminded Damien as his tendrils went wide even as he fought back its own. Then the ground splintered underneath it and the creature's enormous bulk meant that it barely even noticed Suzie's attack, say what you will about Miss Mechanus but she clearly knew her trade well.
"Magic!? No fair! Cheater! Cheater!" Miss Mechanus stamped her foot and flailed one arm accusatorily at Trinity's defensive barrier "Mister Bear blow their house down!"
"Okie dokie." He replied replied as his eyes began to glow red, what Damian really had to ask himself was why wouldn't you give your murderous robo-bear laser vision?
Up in the sky Miss Mighty's contemplated how her night had utterly failed to go anywhere near how she had planned. Which is why, when Genesis called her out, she chose to give him the finger and fly off in to the night, trailing her cosmic glow behind her.
Spoiler: QuellRemember when you raised the possibility of Caleb's sense of justice causing him to go after Miss Mighty even when it wasn't the optimal thing to do...? *Slides Trinity a Hero Point*

Re: Defenders of Tomorrow IC
Military-grade lasers had been developed for a reason. Putting something solid in their way really didn't do much. You might think that the solid object also being made of light would make a difference, but no, no it really didn't.
Trinity's barrier absorbed all the damage from the grenade, albeit at some cost of energy. Nadia managed to dodge most of the gattling-laser with angelic speed, but one of the shots still just managed to graze her. "Flipping scum punk little...!" the angel hissed, in full agreement with Damian on the subject of these particular weapons.
Maybe Suzie and Slapdash could invent some sort of, like, mirror cloaks or something that deflected lasers aside? Ooh, or even turned them back on their shooters! That would be so cool!
Meanwhile, Miss Mighty flew off. You know, Caleb wished he could be surprised. He was honestly done with Miss Mighty. He had given her a chance. Everyone saw him. But if she thought she could escape justice for her crimes, it was time to give her an object lesson in just how wrong she was.
"I've got her," he told the others brusquely, his wings flaring up with silver light as he took off after her, channeling the power of his conviction into his wings, to speed him along after her. He shot through the air at tremendous speeds, coming in hard with a diving strike channeling his own Faith against her - filling her with certainty that there was no escape, to hopefully cause her to hesitate.
You'd think Caleb would think twice before leaving the others to their fight, but he had complete faith in them to be able to handle the robots without him.
Nadia approved. "Punch her in the face for me!" she called out after her brother, before quickly joining hands with Amy, channeling her strength into her sister. Amy unleashed their combined power, filling the area with pink light to heal any burns their friends might have suffered. The powerful healing magic of the Angel of Love could cure even the terrible burns that that grenade could inflict.
With their whole fortification plan not having gotten them too far, though, the two of them flew out of the area that had been set on fire, closing in with Miss Mechanus.
SpoilerAlright, first gonna burn that Hero Point to remove my Fatigue. Then:
Extra Effort - Power Stunt off of Divine Magic:
Divine Channeling: Enhanced Flight 2 (buffs it to 7), Slam gains Inaccurate 1, Improved Critical 3, Linked Affliction 12 (Dazed/Stunned; Will; Limited Degree) Linked Healing 10 (Burst Area, Persistent, Quirk [Heal Order], Limited [One Degree]).
Free: Swap to Coordinate Movement.
Free: Activate the Enhanced Flight portion of Coordinate Movement.
Move: Initiate movement action. Caleb flies after Miss Mighty at Flight 12.
Standard: Caleb Slams Miss Mighty after a full-speed movement at (1d20+8)[20], critting on a 17+. On a hit, Toughness DC 29 vs. Damage, Will DC 22 vs. Dazed/Stunned Affliction, while Caleb rolls Toughness ((1d20+12)[17]) vs. DC 22 Damage. Amy and Nadia heal everyone one Incurable Bruise. This does catch some enemies too but it probably can't heal the robots and I think they're all unhurt anyway, so whatever. Pretty sure that hits. So Trinity takes another Bruise. Meh.
Move-by Action: Amy and Nadia move into BA49 and BA51 respectively.
Free: Activate the Enhanced Dodge and Parry/Reduced Toughness portion of Coordinate Movement, since everyone and their sister has lasers!
End of Turn: Technically the Cloud Area Deflect retriggers, if anyone's crazy enough to still be in there for the enemy turn.
Current Status: 2 Bruises, Fatigued as of next turn, balanced defenses, SE (T32).Last edited by Quellian-dyrae; 2017-10-23 at 03:43 PM.
