Shineon – Attack (Villain) – 2, 6, 1, +1 = 4 (FAIL)
Shineon lunges at Grandeur and launches a roundhouse kick at him, only for her leg to scythe through empty air. She blinks in confusion; how did she completely miss when he's standing right-
And then Grandeur bonks her on the head with his cane. It doesn't hurt, but it does add a bit of injury to the insult.
(Miss)
(0 Damage to Shineon (Reduced from 1 by TOUGH.)
(+1 EXP to Shineon)
Fenrir – Attack (Villain) – 3, 4, 4, +1 = 8 (FLAWED SUCCESS)
Fenrir growls, his nostrils flaring as he scents the air. He comes around Shineon and slashes at Grandeur. The white-clad man lets out a screech as Fenrir's claws nick his face, resulting in a rather irritated expression.
"You're going to pay for that,
chien stupide," Grandeur hisses as he lashes out with his cane, stabbing it into one of Fenrir's almost-healed wounds.
(2 Damage to Grandeur)
(1 Damage to Fenrir)
Gunleon – Remove the Devices – 1, 4, +1 = 6 (FAIL)
Gunleon puts away his pistols and jumps headlong into the crowd of civilians. Unfortunately, armored gauntlets are not exactly suited for delicate work. Gunleon soon finds himself buried, zombie-apocalypse-like, under the mass of bodies.
(Nothing happens)
(+1 EXP to Gunleon)
(Gunleon has Disadvantage on his next roll)
Kekkai-Chan – Remove the Devices – 6, 6, 1 = 7 (FLAWED SUCCESS)
Kekkai-chan focuses and takes up her stance. Her eyes take on that pinkish glow as she focuses her powers. There's a shimmery pink aura around a few of the devices as they twist, then pop free of the necks they're attached to, causing the civilians in question to slump into unconscious bonelessness. Excited, she pumps a fist.
(1 "Damage" to the Controlled Civilians.)
Strike Team – Remove Devices – 1, 6 = 7 (FLAWED SUCCESS)
The Strike Team put away their guns and wade into the civilians, subduing them and putting them in police-style holds as they work to remove the Devices. It's slow going, unfortunately.
(1 "Damage" to the Controlled Civilians.)
Pleiades – Move with Stealth to Location 2 – 3, 5, +2 = 10 (PURE SUCCESS)
During the ensuing fracas, Pleiades seems to just… vanish. Almost like she's a phantom thief or something.
Pleiades moves quickly up a floor to the fourth floor and lurks in a nearby shadow. From there, she can see the Gentles patrolling the area, searching for Maya. They seem to be doing it systematically, thoroughly going through each store with their cohort of controlled civilians. It won't be long until they reach the lounge Maya's hiding in. Thankfully, there are fewer civilians up here than there are on the floor below.
(Pleiades moves to Location 2)
(Pleiades gains the STEALTHED Status: Enemies will not notice her and she gains Advantage on her first roll)
Obakemaru – Move with Stealth to Location 2 – 4, 3, +1 = 8 (FLAWED SUCCESS)
Just like Pleiades, Obakemaru ninjas away into the shadows during the fight and moves upstairs. He takes up residence in a separate shadow, across from Pleiades' position.
The two sneaky heroes look across from each other. Obakemaru nods to Pleiades. Pleiades gestures her head in a way that suggests she's rolling her eyes.
(Obakemaru moves to Location 2)
(Obakemaru gains the STEALTHED Status: Enemies will not notice him and he gains Advantage on his first roll)
ENEMY ACTION!
LOCATION 1
VILLAIN
Grandeur falls back a bit, leaving a trail of after-images as he does so. "Since the game is afoot, let us see how well you handle this!" He raises his cane, and the head flips open to reveal what appears to be a light source.
"Behold, my phantasmal world.
MAISON DES MIRRORS!"
There's a brilliant flash of light that blinds everyone at that location, including your observation drones. When the light clears, there's no longer four Heroes, a Strike Team and Grandeur; there's a Strike Team, and FIVE Grandeurs.
"Crap," you mutter under your breath as they all begin chattering in French-accented voices. It must be some sort of psionic illusion. But if it's strong enough to fool the cameras, he must be
really strong.
(Targeting altered)
MINIONS (Controlled Civilians)
The controlled civilians dogpile on the Grandeur underneath them as well as the Strike Team. Fists and feet bounce off of the Grandeur, but they're still smacking the Strike Team.
(0 damage to Grandeur?)
(1 Damage to Strike Team)
LOCATION 2
MINIONS (Gentles and Controlled Civilians)
The minions upstairs continue their search. They'll likely find Maya sooner than you'd like at this rate.
(Minions will find Maya in 2 Turns)
