    Fade
    HP:1 | Status:Normal

    Fade ducks straight behind a counter as she enters (I19).
    She speaks quietly, "How about you guys do the heavy lifting, I'll try and get the hostages out?"

    Sixer
    HP2/Status: OK

    "Polaris Eternal!" Sixer's charge was short lived. He stopped (L19) as Rick's voice crackled over the radio.

    How could I not see it that he was here? Of course Rick would be here. I guess it's time to do what I do best... Kill Morties.

    Ten
    1 HP, Status: One with Mana(or Normal), Mana Boosted Awareness, Mana Boosted Defenses

    Mana Above! A Shadowdancer?! And Umbragen of all of them? Here?! I cannot let him get away.

    Ten could not understand what the dark sorcerer was saying as she found it difficult to fully embrace people through Mana while also fighting them. This was something higher level members of the Hierophants could accomplish, but not her. While the Shadowdancer talked stood up slowly and pointed one of her Manablades straight at him.

    "[I will return you to Mana's embrace!]"

    Ten ran towards Umbragen ducking and dodging past the giant with one eye, spider girl, the hostages, and the shadow puppets. As she neared him she hopped onto the counters holding jewelry and then leaped over him slashing at him in mid-air.

    "Everyone, meet my arch-nemesis, Scott Flanagan, a.k.a., Scarlet Eye. He'll be our ugly entertainment for the evening!"

    Taranis floated for a second [OOC: at I18], insulting his enemy.

    "Wait..."

    They have a plan to kill them? That... doesn't sound good. But, for right now, what's important is making sure the hostages are safe. Can't risk a Thunderous Roar, so he decided to go all in. Moving to the left, right in front of the other Divine Vessel, Taranis flexed his fist. Dashing towards Scarlet Eye, he threw a loud, thunderous punch!

    He yelled in his childhood tongue of Breton-tinged French: "FRACASSE!!!!!"*

    Ten's blade bounces off Umbragen's Forcefield with no effect (made his save).

    Taranis punch manages to take the wind out of Scarlet Eye (-1 Toughness and Dazed).

    Alloy
    1 HP| Status: Normal, if slightly bemused.


    "Uh..."

    This was clearly a rather personal encounter for 3/5 of the team, and the odd arrangement (and odder behavior) of the villainous team takes Alloy aback for a few precious seconds. But she quickly blinks back her confusion and flies to back up Taranis, who is in opposition to be flanked by the spider-girl as well as his cyclopean nemesis.

    [OOC: that's F18 if it's ok for her to hover over the counter. If not, H16]

    Fade, Sixer and Alloy: Unless you have Uncanny Dodge, you are vulnerable for the first round, and have half active defences round up.

    Edit: Scratch that. I think I might have the rules mixed up with 2nd ed. You get full Defences
    Cop
    The officer follows Taranis' lead, and fires a shot at Scarlet Eye. Unfortunately, it bounces off the cyclop's bulletproof skin.

    Rick the mad
    "Phase 1E? That's the one where I blow up the mall opposite, to force the Blue Novas to choose between saving folks from a burning building and stopping our escape right?"

    Umbragen
    "You're not suppose to say it until AFTER you've done it!"

    "Whoopsie. I'll be done soon anyway." The walkie-talkie crackles, the klick-klack sound of rapid typing audible in the background.

    Shaking his head, the Shadow Mage shouts a command in a foreign language, which elicits a response from the Shadow Puppets and Okuu. He then waves his hands, weaving together the somatic components of a potent spell. "Time Stop!"

    A wave of temporal energy washes over you all, but leaves the villains unaffected. Instantly, the cop and hostage nearest to the front door freeze up.
    All of you make a DC20 Dodge Save vs Area attack. Remember to include any bonus from Evasion. Fade and Sixer get a +2 Cover bonus from counters.

    Next make a Will Save, DC20 if you failed the Dodge save, DC15 if you passed.
    If you fail by 1 degree, you are Vulnerable and Dazed.
    If you fail by 2 degrees, you are Defenseless and Stunned.
    There is no 3rd degree.
    Responding to their master's call, the Shadow Puppets stop their looting and start walking forward and attacking. Raising their arms, they launch a barrage of shadow bolts at the Blue Novas.
    For each attack that hits, make a Rank 2 (or DC17) Toughness save. Remember to account for lowered defenses from Time Stop or Vulnerable. Note that these bolts don't strike Incorporeal, so Fade is safe.

    Start > End | Target
    G02 > G05 | Mana [22]
    P02 > P05 | Mana [11]
    S05 > R08 | Mana [13]

    J05 > K08 | Taranis [14]
    D07 > B10 | Taranis [10]
    L07 > M10 | Taranis [21]

    R14 > Q17 | Sixer [11]
    E10 > E13 | Sixer [13]
    D12 > E15 | Sixer [12]

    S10 > S13 | Alloy [7]
    L14 > M17 | Alloy [22]
    N15 > L14 | Alloy [7]
    J17 > J18 | Alloy [19] (This guy is subsequently killed by Scarlet Eye)

    G16 > H19 | Fade [21] (Miss because of Incorporeal, this guy miraculaously made his save against Scarlet Eye's blast.)
    N11 > P14 | Fade [15] (Miss because of Incorporeal)
    D18 > B18 | Fade [7] (Miss because of Incorporeal)
    Scarlet Eye
    "I may be ugly, but... er... I can still kidnap a dozen young girls, and use their ovens to bake my bread!"
    Fade: You realize that his voice was the one you heard earlier on, going from hostage to hostage and picking them out.
    The Balor Vessel's signature eye momentarily glows a furious crimson, before unleashing a wave of destruction. The frozen cop is knocked unconscious, and most of the shop front is reduced to a burning rubble. Out on the streets, a row of cars parked nearest to the Jewellers are set aflame. Even a pair of Shadow Puppets who were standing in the way are not spared, although one somehow remains on his feet despite the onslaught. It also misses the hostage nearest the front door by a whisker.
    Taranis, Fade, Sixer and Alloy: Make a second DC20 Dodge Save vs Area attack. Fade and Alloy get a +2 Cover bonus from the counters, but not Sixer.

    Next make a Toughness Save, DC25 if you failed the Dodge save, DC20 if you passed.
    Okuu
    Okuu floats up into the air, and you realize that she can fly without actually beating her wings. A brilliant orange glow in the shape of a torus, begins to burn within the orb in her chest.
    Fade: As a physicist, you recognize it as a miniaturized Tokamak Nuclear Fusion reactor.
    She floats over to the hostage pile, and a cannon materializes on her right arm, which she points in your general direction.
    Alloy: Your magnetic senses tell you that this cannon is metallic.
    "Break Prominence!" She calls out, as a wall of bright yellow energy shots flood the area.
    Taranis, Fade, Sixer and Alloy: Make a third DC20 Dodge Save vs Area attack. For this set, both Fade and Sixer get a +2 Cover bonus from the counters, but not Alloy.

    Next make a 2nd Toughness Save, DC25 if you failed the Dodge save, DC20 if you passed.
    Strangely enough, you notice she spares the downed cop.
    Okuu is operating under the no-killing duel rules of her homeland. If you have already been incapacitated at this stage, her shots will ignore you.
    Morty
    Copying Ten Mana, the Spider girl makes her own impressive leap across the shop, and lands on the counter behind the cosmic monk. She proceeds to attack in flurry of claws and spider legs.
    Morty Got a 21, and this is a multiattack.

    If her attack roll equals or exceeds defenses by 0-4 points, make a DC 25 Toughness Save.
    If her attack roll exceeds defenses by 5-9 points, make a DC 27 Toughness Save.
    If her attack roll exceeds defenses by 10 or more points, make a DC 30 Toughness Save.

    If Mana Ten is Defenceless, than add another +5 to the Toughness Save DC.
    Hostages
    The unfortunate customers and staff were considering making a break for the front door... until Scarlet Eye reduced the shop front to a heap of burning rubble. They are now paralyzed by fear and indecision, unsure of where to go.

    Fade fades back to reality, flicks her staff back to life and strikes the puppet looming over her. (1d20+9)[15] hoping it's not real enough to take much of a beating.

    OOC: Note that the Shadow Puppets are minions. As such, you can take 10 on your attack roll to hit them. And the moment they fail any save, they are treated as suffering the worst effect. So failing a damage save by even 1 degree would instantly knock them out.

    You can also use Takedown attack to attack a cluster of them, until one of them makes their save.

    Edit: Ten gets a perception check.

    Ten
    1 HP, Status: Dazed, Mana Boosted Awareness, Mana Boosted Defenses, - 1 Toughness

    Ten easily defends herself against the multiple attacks from the Shadowdancer and his minions, but fails to effectively block or dodge the spider girl's attacks. Still up and ready to fight, Ten makes sure to pay attention to what is happening even as she is injured.

    Fade's staff easily finds its mark, and the Shadow Puppet voicelessly falls to the ground, before dematerializing back into the ether.

    Ten's ultra sharp senses let her notice that after her shoulder was jabbed by Morty's claws, something was left inside the wound. She would have to look into this later.

    After noticing the thing inside her wound she decides she should try to finish things quicker or end up overwhelmed. Tapping deeper into Mana, she manifest 4 arms that sprout from behind her with them all holding etheral swords of different shapes and sizes made out of Mana.

    If it's between the Shadowdancer sorcerer or the spider girl, I want to take down the Shadowdancer immediately.

    Indecision is a terrible thing. Help her team? Help the hostages? Evacuate the mall? What first?

    She falters for a half second before she realizes it shouldn't have even been a question.

    Pulling metal from the burning cars outsode the building- they were already trashed so nobody could fault her for busting them up even further- she forms an approximation of a bulldozer blade.

    This is what we're talking about here:

    According to the CAT website, these are 78 inches wide (6 and a half feet) and weigh 730 pounds, so she should at the very least be able to Transform a Car and Create it, if maybe not move it right away given the Dynamicness of the array.


    She also mentally snags the radio from the cop's belt into her hand, hoping whoever is on the other end is still there.

    "This is Alloy of the Blue Novas. Your officer is unconscious but alive. The assailants at the jewelry store plan to blow up the mall to cover their escape. I'm gonna do what I can to get them to evacuate, but I'm busy digging the hostages out here. If you can get a message to the mall, it would be much appreciated."

    Sixer's head rang from the cyclops's attack. His skin burned and his eyes watered. He barely ducked behind the counter before yellow light flashed overhead.

    "We are back in business! Woo!" Sixer's blood pumped through his veins and his body started to respond to its injuries.

    Forward and to the left. Angled down slightly.

    Sixer pops over the counter and launches biomass from the ends of his extended arms.

    Taranis managed to dodge the brunt of the Shadow Mage's temporal magic, but was still hit by it, feeling dazed and less able to defend himself.

    A few Shadow Puppets decided to turn their attention to him, one hitting him. Luckily, he blocked the hit smoothly.

    But then... Scarlet Eye's signature weapon started glowing. Taranis tried to move out of the way from his nemesis' eye-beam, but couldn't get completely out of the way. Good thing he was already on the defensive, as the block he performed made him able to withstand the beam.

    These villains weren't done yet. The raven-looking girl opened fire with her cannon. No need to block; Taranis made sure to move out of its way.

    "If they're planning on destroying the mall, at least one of us should try and attempt an evacuation. I should stay here and deal with Scarlet Eye. Speaking of which!"

    Taranis was still too dazed to move and attack at the same time, so he decided to go all in. His hand again flexed with divine power. But this next punch felt much stronger at the cost of accuracy.

    "Encore! FRACASSE, PLUS FORT!!"

    "Unyu!" Okuu cries out, as Sixer's blast strikes her, but she is otherwise unharmed.

    "Argh!" Scarlet Eye roars angrily. But he somehow manages to shake off the worst of the damage.

    Taranis gets 1 HP.
    Rick the mad
    "3.. 2.. 1.. We have ignition!" The walkie talkie announces proudly.

    Instantly, the shopping mall opposite explodes with an earth shattering kaboom.

    Umbragen
    "Now proceed to Phase 1F." Umbragen flies over next to Okuu, and then points a finger at the hostage and loot pile. A giant shadow hand appears, and scoops up a bunch of hostages and loot. Finally, the elf whispers someting to Okuu in a foreign language.

    Okuu
    Okuu nods and grabs Umbragen. Her entire being starts to glow brilliant orange. "Yatagarasu Dive!" She shouts before jetting off into the night sky, bringing Umbragen along, who in turn drags off a large chunk of the hostages and loot.
    By the end of the their turn, they will be 1/2 a mile away. Unfortunately, nobody except for Taranis can match Okuu's flight speed.

    Taranis: The name 'Yatagarasu' sounds vaguely familiar. You feel you might have heard of it from your history studies, but can't quite put your finger on where.
    Spoiler: Rules Explanation
    Show
    Conventionally, Move Object does not allow for action or reaction, which is to say that merely dragging Umbragen will not cause the hostage pile to be moved with him. More generally, Move Object does not explicitly provide rules for carrying the objects with you, while you move. This is a handwave case where I am using the Throw option, to throw the object a distance equal to movement speed, while Umbragen retains his 'grip' on it. This will also explain why Umbragen isn't simply carting the entire pile off although his move object is strong enough to lift it, because he needs 7 ranks buffer, to 'throw' the pile half a mile.


    Scarlet Eye
    "Hohoho!" The Balow Vessel bellows. "What will it be? Try to chase us, or save the people at the mall?" He taunts.

    "Morty, grab the loot and lets go." The cyclops commands.

    Morty
    Morty sighs loudly. She grabs what remains of the hostages and loot next to her. She then leaps off into the night sky, with Scarlet Eye following closely after her.

    Morty and Scarlet Eye are much slower, and will be 900ft away by the end of their turn. Either Taranis or Ten Mana can attempt to chase them.

    Turn 3 start, the Blue Novas can act now.
    Whoops, I forgot about the Shadow Puppets.
