The Big Tank - Othym & Zeline (Closed)

[Zeline Koth]

Zeline blinked. "What in the kriff is that thing? I, uh..." She raised her blaster, ready to return fire but without any of her past bloodlust.

D5 Quest Vigilance for Initiative

Net Successes: 2; Net Advantages: 2

Oh, I would have probably stimmed myself if we can have an action to do Sense and stuff. NBD though.

[GM Nicha]

Oh, I would have probably stimmed myself if we can have an action to do Sense and stuff. NBD though.

((You would have had time while he was monologuing, feel free to have stimmed))

[Zeline Koth]

Zeline fumbled with her inhaler, doing way too many puffs to actually get her reflexes pumped up. But maybe doing drugs helped her?

D5 Quest Stim Application (Improved) for Agility

Net Successes: -1; Net Advantages: 1
I don't know what a Triumph would have done here. Advantage would heal the strain of 1 away?

Othym ignited his lightsaber, trying to ignore the feeling that he'd heard that line before...

[GM Nicha]

All three of them started moving at the same time... but maybe it was just the nature of things that Zeline and Othym were a hair faster.

Player notes

The Tank is adversary 2 and defence 1

Personal Shield: The Tank can channel the copious energy in his vault into a formidable shield. The Tank can only be damaged by one attack per turn unless the shield is disabled.

Laser Grid: The Vault is equipped with a rotating grid of red lasers, at the end of every turn the characters must succeed on an average coordination check or take 5 damage pierce 4 from the swirling laser grid!

(Triumph spend Zeline is extra twitchy from her stims and can upgrade her coordination check twice the first time it is required)

Special player action: On any turn a PC can opt to make an average mechanics, computer, ranged heavy or lightsaber roll to temporarily disable or smash the lair's defences. ◆◆ On a success the PC can choose one of the lair's two abilities and switch it off for the rest of that turn and the following two turns.

[Othym]

Othym ducked behind an antique bust and tried to smash the nearest control unit he could see to slow the laser grid. Unfortunately it appeared to be connected to a security unit for the artifacts, and all he achieved was a glass case emerging over the nearest few items with a loud thunk. Frowning he moves, cover to cover, towards the Tank.

"Tank you get this setup from the supervillian weekly discount section?" he tried, looking for a new panel to smash.

Despair Spend

Zeline's attack activates a failsafe in the Tank's...tank. A small vial of kolto is loaded, ready to be injected when required.

((He will stim himself to heal 5 wounds at the end of next turn unless hit in melee with a called shot of 1 setback difficulty))

The Tank crit on Othym | 1d100 ⇒ 58


-----------

The Tank is leaking fluid from several cracks where Zeline's fusilade had landed, but that only seems to enrage him! His clumsy robotic handles scramble for a moment to retrieve his weapon after it was blasted away before they snatch it up and the vault fills with the sound of rapid fire!

The initial burst is directed at Othym, pelting the Jedi with blaster bolts.

[Zeline Koth]

Well, at least Zeline had THOUGHT there were not lasers. All the drugs made it really difficult to SEE them. But things that were invisible definitely still existed!

Shield and lasers are active, Tank will heal at the end of the round unless a called shot with one setback is landed on him in melee.

[Othym]

Othym slips a stimpack from his tattered robes and injects, feeling less at death's door as the drug numbs his pain. He surges forward from cover, swinging his lightsaber at a suspiciously highlighted component on his tank.

----------

"My beloved laser grid! Do you even understand how hard that was to design from inside a tank? Do you? DO YOU?!?!"

Even as Othym's saber slices machinery from his frame the tank fires at Zeline in a rage!

[Othym]

Having disabled the stim, Othym aimed his next blow at what looked to be the shield generator before slipping back to allow Zeline a clear shot

----------

The Tank's systems are clearly failing him as Zeline just keeps pouring on the fire. He's leaking water everywhere and the repulsors only work in fits and starts. But he keeps on firing!

[Othym]

Othym charges in, hoping to finish the fiendish man in the glass tank
