V remains unconscious

Eclipse starts this action at a height of 2" above the roof and flies 6" to the end while diving to as close as possible and then diving at the roofs edge. Because of turn radius (and inches of flight remaining) he gets 1" below the roof level. But is 1" above "L". The damage is limited, but knockback is 6" and since you are above the target he is knocked back into the ground below. As he slams into the ground awkwardly he is knocked out. (FYI - No crits in HERO system per say, "crits" come from high damage rolls)

L does not get an action this segment.

Knight Light digs deep using the Force and throws BSD #3 back 4m (2 hexes) doing limited damage.

Force is unconscious but beginning to move around. (Taking a RECovery)

Dos Seso says on comms, "Not that it will be a surprise, but going down with my mind blank active it is possible you could lose me on the battle field, but hoping that their minds will not register my presence." Dos Seso jumps through the opening hitting the ground with my velocity. Back on comms, "They are bugging out in four cars. Two north side two south side. I will try to lock on to Wind Dragon." (Note this is describing what he plans to do next segment)

Oly on comms, "I will try to hold the north side."

That takes us to Azir.

Azir will take off after the south cars.

Eclipse

"Oly, good to hear you back with us. Greenie is unconscious, but I don't know how long for. Dos, Sesos, do you need backup? I can join you inside or help stop the cars."

[gurusql]

Dos Seso

"They are about to blot, leaving me in the dust."

[gurusql]

Azir

Azir will take off after the south cars.

Since they have not come into view yet, can I assume you are holding your action until that make an appearance?

[Leitz]

"Eclipse, do we want to ask the police to block the exits? That would stop the cars, and put their escape attempt on foot," Knight Light said on the comm. "Flashing lights and sirens might help, too."

[shaidar]

"Good idea. Agent McGinley, the perps are about to exit the scene in cars, two north and two south. We will do our best to apprehend them, but I think now is time to bring in the PD to assist in preventing them leaving."

[Rex]

Azir

Azir will take off after the south cars.

Since they have not come into view yet, can I assume you are holding your action until that make an appearance?

Yes she will hold her action then.

[shaidar]

Eclipse

I'm also looking to hold my action until the cars appear, but is there an obvious place they might appear from, such as a large garage door? If it's a certain distance I might make a half move then hold, if I can do that.

Just for clarity, you already moved and attacked this phase

Azir holds her action, waiting for the cars that Dos Seso said are coming so that she can react to them.

Oly spend a half-phase to stand up and then postpones the other half also waiting for the cars.

Eclipse calls in the police that will be leaving from the southern staging area.

T remains unconscious

With the focus on the where these cars are going to exit, there are 6 doors (semi-sized) on both the north and south sides - that are roughly evenly spaced along the sides. On the 17 DEX for Segment 8 the 12 doors all open at once. If the door are numbered 1-6 from west to east. There are 4 black Cadillac DeVille exiting out of exits 2 and 6 on the north and 4 and 6 on the south.

Oly reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a small packet that he throws again the car windshield. This lets out as Flash attack on the driver of the car coming his way. The flash does affect the target.

BSD #3 gets up and runs off the edge of the building falling to the ground. He will need to spend a half-phase to get up.

Azir is the only one with a held action

[Rex]

Azir

Azir is going after the closest car, which I think is #3.

[gurusql]

What would you like to try to do?

A non-complete list could be

• Jump trying to smash the engine (Move Through on the engine)
• Leap and punch the car
• Leap and pick-up the car (leap and grab)

[Rex]

Azir

She will try and take out the engine with a punch. Leaping only if required to get to it in time.

Offense Punch [_3d6]=(3+3+3)=9 [_11d6]=(2+5+3+6+3+4+6+6+2+5+1)=43 [_2d6]=(5+1)=6

Closing out Segment 8, Azir leaps down from the roof and smashes the engine on the caddy.

That completes Segment 8 . . . 9 and takes us to 10. Initiative

Everyone can just take another action before the cars move again.

Eclipse

Initiative: [_3d6]=(5+4+1)=10

Through the pain and the pounding headache Eclipse considers using his powers on the nearest car to surpress it's electrical systems, but decides not to because it would have to be maintained. So instead he uses his telekinetic powers to flip the car onto it's roof, but not too fast so that there is minimal harm to the occupants.

This assumes the car isn't a soft top. If it is he'll flip it onto its side instead.

The vehicle is just getting started so it only has an effective DCV of 1, because of the size this is reduced by 2 (with a min of DCV 0). So it has a DCV of 0 and you need to do a Grab. (-1 OCV/ -2 DCV) Since you need the full 35 STR to lift the car you will need to use the slot without fine manipulation. Turning the car over (even slowly) does NOT require fine manipulation.

Corrected some grammar
