Roll To Dodge VI: Rolling Thunder, a Superhero RTD

>Land and look for the jewelry store from the ground

The thing that was gonna be powerful, then not, then powerful again

• sigh* "They don't pay me enough to work here anyway."

> run towards the center and see if anyone else has arrived yet

Radley notices the Sun King get up, hobbling, after his crash. He stops himself midair. He then flies over to the Sun King

>Offer to assist Sun King.

I haven't played the particular game that Tango is from, but still... robo kitty. :D

Turn 3

Current Encounter: Blizzard

Trevor (Taco)

Roll to run to the center: 5

Good. Before you reach the center, you see that Blizzard is actually near the outskirts and you head for there.

Allen (Mysky)

Roll to run and try to engage combat: 2

Whoops. Remember those punks? They see you as a nerd and try to fight you. Seems that Blizzard will have to be fought later. Please tell me what your werewolf transformation is dependent on.

Steve the Rock/Avalanche (Zorua)

Roll to psychically bind Blizzard: 6

Someone is already fighting him, but when you have a clearing, you successfully bind him. The psychic rope is going good. He can't move. He curses. Until you (somehow) get a psychic headache of using the binds.

Roll to avoid that headache: 6

*GM starts screaming again* Would you believe that Blizzard found a way to hit you while you were trying to avoid the headache and you couldn't dodge out of the way? -1 HP.

Budi (Fury)

Roll to pretend to be a panicking civilian: 1

He either saw through your pretending before you started or he just likes blasting people. Any way, a cold blast is coming to you.

Roll to dodge: 5

Good. You dodged it. Then he was bound by Avalanche and escaped and blasted him, but he's not looking at you now. Perfect for Ki Blasting them later.

Alberto (Afters)

Roll to get the alibrije: 4

GOOD. You are able to get your big feathered serpent you nicknamed Quetzi If you have a better name, please say it from the storage room. You also head outside. You see the hero known as The Projector nearby, with a pixelated dove. A new friend, maybe?

Yves (Bais)

Roll to follow the snow and attract no attention to yourself: 5

The GM is praising the luck gods. You successfully find the source. It's Blizzard, a supervillain. He is fighting some people, maybe heroes, but you recognize Avalanche, who is a mere rock with powers.

Ro (Tre)

Before you do anything after finishing to shelter the bird, something happens. Pixels start appearing before your own eyes, and they are not yours. They take a shape, familiar to you.

It's the freaking bird you just sheltered. They're back, now as a digital spirit like you. The now teal-colored dove chirps at you. For some reason, you feel like they forgave you. Good. Will you give them a name?

Roll to fly: 5

The dice gods are being good. You head toward the clouds and spot Blizzard fighting some people in the outskirts. The dove chirps again. You feel you are going to be the bestest of friends.

Kenneth (GCB)

Roll to continue driving along: 6

You continue too well. Several of the passengers are very panicked after seeing everything and you still calm.

Roll to try to calm the passengers: 1

Peace was too sudden to be good. You fail at calming the passengers. A very nervous teenager is going to bash you with a hockey stick.

Roll to dodge without derailing the bus: 2

You're so screwed. You get hit and the bus is going to crash into a lamppost.

Roll to stop the bus: 5

Alefrickingluyah.

Since you had time only to stop the bus, you take the damage of 2 HP (leaving you with 98). That teenager is being scold since he made more possible damage than you though. You continue to pass by the fight. You still have a long way before finishing this route.

The Sun King (Dubh)

Roll to hobble: 4

You did it. You continue to hobble in the direction of Blizzard. He's still far away fighting people. A bus is seen nearby.

Diniel (Johhanes)

Why are you doing that? Anyways, you try to land.

Roll to land: 3

And step in a, ahem, piece of dog shit. Eww. But you land and see that the closed jewelry is next to you.

Felicity (Leaf)

Roll to run towards the center: 3

You accidentally run into some people, but your shift was ending anyways and you head to the center. The Sun King is hobbling to the storm's origin, which you now see it was caused by the supervillain Blizzard.

Radley (Puma)

He needs no assist from you. You continue walking over to the blizzard.

---

Blizzard is fighting Budi and Steve/Avalanche. Felicity, Radley and the Sun King are a bit far from him in the center. Yves is nearby the fight now. Alberto outside the university. Kenneth is in his bus heading to the center. Ro has a new pal and is floating around the university. Diniel has stepped in shit and is far but can see the storm clouds. Allen is in the bench with some punks there.

What will you all do?

>Get closer to Blizzard, since apparently your injuries aren't as bad as the author thought.

>If that works, try to aim a dazzling light beam at him to give the people already fighting Blizzard an opening.

>Pelt a Ki Fireball at Blizzard

"Stay out of this, rock. This one is mine."

>Seeing that a bunch of costumed people are approaching, I attempt to end the fight as quickly as possible by slicing Blizzard's throat with a knifehand (ha) strike.

>Disassemble the molecules in Buddy's knife and turn it into a metal party hat instead

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

"Whoa! Didn't think I'd see you again," Ro says, letting the dove land on his right wrist. "You're like me now, huh? I guess we should stick together."

"Do you like the name Sander?" The bird softly coos. "Nice. We'll go with that, then."

The boy and the bird turn to the commotion below, with the snow-slinging fiend getting accosted by several others. Before deciding to leave it to them, an alarm a few blocks down cuts through the background noise, loud and clear. "Oh no."

> Head to the jewelry store

oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘

"I so don't got the time for this."

> Engage the punk in combat

> Aim for a punch at their stomach

The true power of us human beings is that we can change ourselves on our own.

That was way too close... almost there, though.

Turn 4

Current Encounter: Blizzard

Yves (Bais)

Roll to observe: 6

The GM blinks at the 6 you rolled. She sighs and continues. You continue to observe, but as nobody notices you some colateral damage gets hurled towards the place you're standing. Namely, some piece of metal (that looks like a knife).

Roll to dodge piece of metal: 1

You get hit by the piece of metal as you failed to dodge.

Roll to dodge the pain: 2

*snort* Sorry, you lose 4 HP. That hurt a lot, you have a small cut in your chest. Current HP: 94.

Alberto (Afters)

Roll to bring Quetzl to life: 3

Ok, he's on life mode now. Feathered Serpent is cool. You fail to get heard by The Projector, but it seems he's heading in an opposite direction.

Diniel (Johhanes)

Roll to break into the jewelry store: 4

I legit forgot you were a villain until you just suddenly decided to randomly rob something. You succeed in getting inside and stealing jewels, until you suddenly see a superhero outside the store.

The Sun King (Dubh)

Roll to get closer: 3

He spots you and hurls some icicles at you.

Roll to dodge: 1

F in the chat. You fail to dodge the icicles.

Roll to dodge the pain: 3

That still hurts. -4 HP. Current HP: 94. No dazzling light beam for you now.

Trevor (Taco)

Roll to cast Fireball: 4

Good. You hit him. He curses and hisses. His HP drops down to 94.

Budi (Fury)

Roll to slice with strike: 3 + 1 MA proficency

You hit him (while also throwing some random metal charm). He still loses 4 HP though and drops to 90.

Steve the Rock/Avalanche (Zorua)

Roll to make charm into party hat: 1

Well, now the charm looks like an actual knife and Blizzard blocks it and hurls it back. You're not sure where it went.

Ro (Tre)

There you are. There is a dude that looks like an angel stealing jewels.

Allen (Mysky)

Roll to engage punk: 6

He really, really wants to hit you now.

Roll to aim a punch: 4

You successfully hit the punk. He looks like if you punch him twice, he will stop. But he still can fight now.

Kenneth (GCB)

You continue driving and you reach the next stop and everyone gets out. Your boss tells you by bus communicator/phone to drive to the bus terminus and just go to home after that.

Radley (Puma)

Roll to find stuff: 4

When you arrive to the fight, you find a trash bin nearby, along with someone's bike.

---

HP of current encounter (Blizzard): 90.

Blizzard is fighting Budi and Steve/Avalanche. The Sun King is near them and got hit. Yves is near the fight and got hit too. Alberto is still outside the university, observing Ro getting away. Kenneth is in the bus terminus. Ro is trying to stop Diniel from stealing jewels. Allen is in a fight with some punks. Felicity hasn't moved a lot from wherever she was before.

What will you all do?

One day you're here, baby / And then you're gone.....

The Sun King is knocked backwards by the icicle blast. Fortunately, it seems his highly advanced Jupiterian armaments^note a costume put together from scrap metal, painted in gold leaf have prevented the ice from striking anywhere debilitating. He gets back to his feet and strikes a dramatic pose, his finger pointed straight at Blizzard.

"Fear not, citizens of Earth! Tremble in fear, villainous wretch! For I, the Sun King, have joined this battle!"

As he yells this, another, more tightly focused beam builds up within his shining gauntlet.

>Shoot the beam, explicitly aiming to debilitate Blizzard by generating localised heat.

Radley notices Budi waiting to attack.

>Grab trash bin. Wait along with Budi, then hit Blizzard with trash bin when the others attack.

I haven't played the particular game that Tango is from, but still... robo kitty. :D

"You're telling me the fate of a whole society depends on you having a bunch of shiny rocks?"

Ro gives him an incredulous look, turning briefly to Sander on his right shoulder with an eye roll for the ages. "Come on, dude."
