Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Reader mode
honestly I feel like just leaving it to Black Swan and bombard it from high in the air, while Menagirie constructs distract or hold it down works well enough.
Maybe Handayman shooting some bone Ballistas too. Theres really not much else the sitaution can do. Since all we know about about morphene is its Big, strong, smart and can shoot poisonous explosive bubbles.

maybe leizi, activates apiary defenses to hold and injure morphene too? There should hopefully be active defenses Leizi can use against morphen apart from the shield.

[x] Agree to fight Floating Venom Morpheme.
-[X] Plan: Divert And Blast
-[X] Lady Leizi will get into a good position and provide support via information.
-[X] Maddie, staying by Leizi, will create a large swarm of small Nevermore clones that will harrass FVM and draw attention.
-[X] Rhys and Mona will use the distraction to sneakily move onto the opposite side for a flank attack, with Mona focusing her energy on blasting FVM itself while Rhys throws bone arrows.
 
Hmm I;m fine with taht by I feel like Swan doing an Airstrike is better way to attack.

Also QM does leizi know about any other defenses of the apiary she can use to attack the Behemoth? Like I do know using the shield net to hold down behemoth so MOna can use a full blast or hmm something to put the thing in air so mona can shoot with her full power. without risk of large collateral damage.

-[ ] How? (subject to veto by QM. Good plans will result in bonuses to HIT checks)

[ ] Refuse. Activate the shield-net instead.

If what Mendicant needs is a tissue sample, is it possible to just focus on extracting one from Morpheme without going whole hog on killing it? And then go to activate the shield net to drive it off completely. If accepted as a write in, I'd imagine reduced HIT checks and then the standard shield net activation checks in exchange for forfeiting the bounty. Though I am interested in the bounty, wanted to see if this was an available option.

Nah Medicant also needs Cover and Killing a Named Behemoth is way to give medicant a valid reason for selling to JU directly. Since killing named behemoths put you on the map as big thing, Its the Slayers leaders biggest claim to faim afterall.
So medicant can say you need to kill a named behemoth for me to be willing to sell directly to you.
 
What do we know about Floating Venom Morpheme?
  • It's a big jellyfish-squid, and its organs are obscured but are very much still potential weaks points!
  • It has 12 tentacles full of sharp teeth and mouths.
  • It can create bubbles full of venom that explode with the force of a bomb.
  • Bubbles don't have a proximity fuse. Direct contact is required to trigger them, hence why when one blows, it releases silver particles that when carried by the wind, triggers other bombs to explode.
  • Bubbles are released from behind the monster, so if you're fast enough to stay in front of it, you never have to deal with any of its bubbles, just the tentacles.
  • It was able to trigger psychic backlash by flying above the Apiary (?)
I think we can fight this pretty well. Black Swan can already damage the thing, and considering the mechanics of its bubbles, I believe we can neuter that avenue of attack for it too.

Have Handyman shotgun blast the bubbles from afar, triggering the mine field prematurely, then have Black Swan swoop in to blast the monster apart, retreat when it tries to use its bubbles again by glowing red, and repeat from the top until the monster is dead.
 
god, those rolls. Anyways, I'm kinda tempted to see if we can just brute force the mosnter. Black swan going all out from ambush might be able to one shot it, and it does not seem to be very good at dodging. So maybe hem it in with shadow birds and handyman to let black swan line up a shot from a safe distance?

Black Swan blast just need to Aim for the sky really. So hmm have Witch and handyman distract and get rid of the bubbles, have swan use her superspeed to get under it then just full blast it in the sky?
 
[x] Agree to fight Floating Venom Morpheme.

[X] Plan Uppercut
-[X] Have Rhys use bone arrows to trigger the bubble currently around Morpheme.
-[X] Have Menageries use her Constructs to Distract Morpheme Tentactes mainly keep its eyes/senses on the sky.
-[X] Have Swan fly in below Morpheme using her hypersonic flight until she's below morpheme, then Blast at full power directed to sky to kill.

Edit: Simple plan but really we have a mega hammer so just need to make sure the blast doesnt result in collateral.

We probably want to force the monster away from the Apiary too. Killing it while it's above the base means a giant corpse crushes everyone in it.

oh morpheme above apiary hmm. In that case maybe we should activate the shieldnet before ambushing it as it try's to leave?

Leizi, witch and handyman goes inside the apiary to activate the shield net. Swan outside to wait for the shield to activate where after morpheme tries to leave Swan ambushes it with a full blast after Witch's Constructs distract it?

So, black swan is immune, and cant be killed.

Can she go inside it? In its mouth?

It cant hit her with its tentacles when she is in its stomach, and the poison is uaeless. So she can just hit its insides. Presumably this would take less power.

This could maybe kill it without scattering its poisonous body around the neiborhood.

Don't think that would work. We need to kill it without the shieldnet's help to gain the Mendicant's assistance.

It's a smart animal, but a animal nonetheless. It was probably attracted to the Apiary due to a psychic signal, but it should start running away if we injure it hard enough (Remove the tentacles?). Then, we can kill it.

nah shieldnet doesnt kill it which is a problem since Medicant needs a sample and reason to sell to JU directly. So using shield net to get it away from apiary then backstabbing it as it leaves should be fine as long as we kill it.

Hmm QM how would the shield net drive away morpheme based on Leizi knowldege of it?

No mouth so it wont work.

It doesn't have a mouth according to the narration. Its tentacles have tiny ones but I don't think Black Swan would want to enter them.

If we want to kill it from the inside, we'll need to drill a hole in it.
 
Do we know if the Behemoth triggered the psychic vision on Black Swan, or if it was just a coincidence? Because if proximity causes Black Swan to pass out, we can't let her get too close.
 
We could just have Mona fire some smaller shots to get it to move to empty ground like when Leizi wanted it out of her sight. Other than a general assumption that underside is squishier than top, we may want to target any points that bubbles exit from if we can identify them.

Bubbles are sensitive to air currents. Since Handyman can assume inhuman shapes to a size of about 20 feet, I had the idea of him riding on a Nevermore clone and turning into a giant turbine or wing. By pointing downwards and rotating (helps if the bird dives as well) this should create an upward gust to push the bubbles back. Might look ridiculous, but if it works it works. Maybe we could even stuff the bubbles back into the creature's underside and trigger a detonation leading back into the main body. Additional clone birds can try to clear out missed bubbles and keep a clear line of sight for Mona fire continuously from afar, assuming we don't kill it on the first strike.

I like that plan for luring the monster away. Though, I don't think Handyman has enough mass to create a turbine giant enough to move an entire mine field's worth of bubbles. Better to just have him clear bubbles for Black Swan I think by prematurley detonating the mine field with his ranged attacks.

we just need to watch out for the pisonic attack that downed black swan. She might need to take a shot at it from a decent range.

that was just Monas Sensitivity reacting to Apiary Heart. I think considering she seemed to have met apiary ghost after getting close to the base. It should be fine now since apiary seems to have accpeted her as a provisinal member.
