The Doctor? Doctor Who?

Red for blood.
White for Peace.
Blue for Liberty.

Blood. Peace. Liberty.
Red. White. Blue.
(I wonder if anything red, white and/or blue has shown up recently...)

To be honest, I had to sit and think for a minute before I realized what was being referred to.

Can Sam take another action this turn, or are we moving on to someone else now? If so, I'll edit things into this post.

Editing accordingly.

"The gems!" Sam cries, looking up and hoping that the others can hear him over the noise. He digs in his pocket and grabs his gem, looking for somewhere to slot it into the machine.

Grr. Forgot about silly editing-in-a-roll thing.

Charisma check: (1d20+3)[21]

[alchemyprime]

The red gem in Sam's hand heats up and shoots three beams at the machine, ruining it's internal memory, sticking it on one last function.
(Know(Tech) check for what the setting is).

Wendy's turn.

[DeathQuaker]

Wendy sees what Sam is doing and remembers the Doctor's mention of "heat, cold, and electricity," and tries to determine if she can figure out where to shoot the device.

Spoiler

Show

If she's confident about her knowledge she'll shoot; if she's not she'll toss the gem to Sam.

Knowledge (Technology): (1d20+8)[21]

[alchemyprime]

The function is stuck on "Capture Humans". It emits in morse code, so the TIn Friends will glitch a little bit.

The cold from the gem could shut off the machine, just leaving it's transmitter and the magnetic casing...

Or at least cut off it's power for a while, long enough so Sam's hands don't get hurt while he dismantles it.

[DeathQuaker]

Wendy sees where the cold will do the most good, and aims, focusing her will on the machine, willing it to fire the cold ray.

Can I just say? That sucked.

[alchemyprime]

The gem grows incredibly cold but the ray seems to stop inside of the gem. It's almost like a misfire.

Moe tries to get out of the ZOdar's grasp, but to no avail. Sydney looks around and grabs Q. Q whirls in her arms and fires at Moe, making a part of his armor retract into his body.

Jim seems to notice and gets him with the taser, eliminatin both of Moe's arms from the equation (well, the armor, anyway).

The Doctor tries to keep the signal on one letter, causing it to slow down considerably. He does so, but burns his hand a bit.

Sam's turn.

[Glawackus]

Sam shifts the gem to his other hand, hoping that whatever effect it's having will continue, and unfolds his multitool quickly, muttering to himself.

Sam's going to try to shut down the machine. Anything the bad guy's got set up can't be good, right?

Disable Device: (1d20+14)[32]

Reflex Save: (1d20+3)[9]
...I'm not going to lie, I'm afraid of vaporization. I'll drop an action point.
Action Point: (1d6)[2]

[alchemyprime]

Sam burns his hand while trting to disarm the thing. He gets the machine's power source turned off, but his hand and arm are badly burnt. (8 points of fire damage and 2 points of electricity damage.)

The Doctor poitns to Moe. "His armor retracts with electricity! Wendy! There is a wire behind the Zodar's holding pin! Yank it out!"

Wendy can move to the wire, yank it out, and move next to Moe and the Zodar, but can't attack until next turn.

(Too lazy to do a map at the moment. Just finished a huge research paper.)

Just want to be clear - was the machine Sam disabled the one Wendy was trying to shoot with her cold ray earlier?

Also, don't have Spring Attack, so can't move-act-move.

Let me know if I should make a Knowledge: Tech or Untrained Repair check to make sure I pull out the wire right.

Wendy nods to the Doctor. She is still Dodging Moe and if she has to pass an area he is threatening, she will use her Mobility to try to keep out of harm's way.

She does her best to keep grounded and snatches the wire.

[alchemyprime]

She grabs the wire, with no odd results. However, she needs to make a Strength check to yank the wire from the wall.

I will allow you to add half of your Know(Tech) or Disable Device mods to the Strength check, whichever is higher.

Strength check:
(1d20+4)[15]

[alchemyprime]

The cable is out, and Wendy din't get electrocuted. Next one of Wendy's turns she'll be able to make her attack roll.

The Doctor fiddles with the machine. "I'm going to try to put in a code to bring the Tin Friends back here then disable, so they can all be gone. Except Q, of course. Sam, either help me or help Jim."

Q whirls, but doesn't seem to have enough of a charge to fire his beam again.

Jim tases Moe once more, getting rid of a stomach plate.

Moe breaks free of the ZOdar's grasp, and then kicks the ceramic man. The ZOdar moans in pain.

Sam's turn.

[alchemyprime]

(Bump! Waiting around a bit... but it's okay...)

[Glawackus]

"Bigger fish to fry, Doc," Sam says, drawing his gun and lining up a shot on Moe.

Sam’s bullet soars through the air and hits Moe in the arm. A chunk of Moe’s leg armor retracts into his skin, and his arm is bleeding quite a bit. Moe may have a crunchy exterior, but he sure has a liquid filled center.

Wendy’s Turn.

Is Moe touching the Zodar? If I hit him with the wire, do I risk electrocuting the Zodar as well?

[alchemyprime]

(No. Moe just kicked the Zodar. He's just kind of looking around.
Remember, the cable is an improvised weapon.

The Zodar will be fine. As long as you don't roll a natural 1. Good luck, DQ.)

[alchemyprime]

(DQ? DeathQuaker? Hello? Bump?)

[DeathQuaker]

Wendy grits her teeth, carefully hefts the wire so as not to hurt herself, and thrusts forward to give Moe what will hopefully be the shock of his life.

Attack: (1d20+1)[13]

Sorry--I went away for the weekend, and also your original post didn't show up in my "new posts to subscribed threads" for some reason.

[alchemyprime]

Moe gets hit, and in a giant flash of energy, all of his plating is retracted into his body. He sighs and collapses onto the ground. Q plays a happy tune reminiscent of "Buffalo Girl", and Jim sighs and slumps down. The Doctor fiddles with the machine and claps.
"Brilliant! I managed to fry all of the future tech in the Tin Friends. They are no more than wind up walking toys now."
The Doctor goes to Moe and lies him down.
"Zodar, are you alright?" he asks.
The Zodar nods. "No more talking, Doctor. Zodars no like speech. Voice gone."
The Doctor frowns. "Oh... I guess Zodar lost his voice. Well, I guess we were able to do everything but get that Cog for Jonathan... maybe we can find it while Moe's out cold." The Doctor begins to rummage through boxes, and shelves.

I'm certain he would appreciate some help.

[Glawackus]

Sam lets out a long sigh and slides his gun back into its holster. "Right, then," Sam says. He twists his head around a little trying to get some of the tension out, and turns to start searching the shelves.

Search: (1d20+3)[22]

[DeathQuaker]

"Wouldn't he be using the cog? He was mentioning how it would help him. So, shouldn't we check the machinery?

She thinks, hard, that Jim should keep an eye on Moe, but does not say it aloud.

While the group forms a broader Search, Wendy keeps an eye out for unusual items, marks, or other clues--even blueprints or what have you--that might either lead to the cog or give other insights about Moe's activities here.

Investigate (1d20+9)[29]

Sam finds a small safe behind a box.
Wendy finds a note that says "Remember: Perfect FoRm..." that fell out of Moe's pocket. There is also a stack of pin-up posters behind a box.
