Sorry to hear that.

>>21805640
On the plus side, a friend that actually does pro-wrestling said he would come co-host the thread soon, once he comes back from a tournament in perú.

>>21805672
Oh and he was explaining me how wrestling is actually HUGE in japan

Cool. So Mai had something to tell us?

>>21805686

Oh, yeah. Japan legitimately loves its rasslin'. Very common for Western wrestlers to spend some time in Japan honing their craft.

Mai: "Hey Ned, come on in" -the barefoot redhead has you go into the house and leaves the door open.

One of the dogs is sleeping inside, taking shelter from the heat outside in the much cooler ceramic of the kitchen floor.

Mai: "You know, I did some digging around, and found something for you" -she leaves you a small data block (the quantum pendrive) on the coffee table- "Now, while you check that, would you prefer thai or chinese for lunch today?"

>>21805782

And that one arc where a kid is possessed by a demon and throws around dudes thrice her weight.

>>21805784
why is she always barefoot? is this your fetish?

>>21805784
Be a man, go for either spicy Thai, or Sichuan Chinese food.

>>21805789
>why is she always barefoot? is this your fetish?
She´s a highly paranoid former spy with ridiculously high martial arts skill and omnidexterity, which means her feet are just as nimble as her hands. That´s two extra appendages to grab/hold/swing weapons with.

Also it just seemed to make sense since she grew in japan, that she would take her shoes off inside the house

>>21805789
Actually, where I live, (Canada) it's wierd as fuck to wear shoes indoors.

I think it's an American thing, or something.

>>21805789
Actually, many Americans go barefoot inside their own homes. Plus, she's a nova so most shoes don't last long with her.

>>21805784

>>21805802
Actually come think of it, she probably has sandals for visitors to change into when they enter her house instead of going in with mud from the ranch ground. Let´s just assume it´s always off camera but that she has been getting Ned, Brass or whoever else to take off their shoes and wear sandals inside the house

Anyway

You grab the small data block and plug it to your datapad. Instantly, it´s OPnet connection dies. Mai tells you that is normal, just in case.

The information is about Jackie Serrano, a former house maid from one of Bomber Lord´s manors. Miss Serrano claims to have been mentally controlled by Bomber Lord for close to a year. She used to be a model/slash actress (she really was eyecandy at car shows. I think those girls have a specific name but I cant remember it) when Bomber Lord found her and "convinced her" to instead become a ornament/housemaid at one of his manors. She says that most of his house staff are under similar conditions, but none of they realize it.

She escaped simply because he made her do such things that the shock eventually got her out from under his control. That and she waited until he was out of town to discreetly dissapear

File: 1354194613647.jpg-(36 KB, 650x366, gits-sac08.jpg)

>>21805833
Now I understand why Japanese love professional wrestling, they get to watch sentai duke it out.

>>21805838
I knew Bomber was a grade-a douche, but man, that's heavy. All this stuff about Serrano sure doesn't have me laughing, man.

We need to find a way to expose his dastardly deeds to the public, ASAP.

>>21805838
"Good job. Obviously we want as much evidence to put him away as possible, but still an excellent start."

Rolled 9, 10, 2, 8, 8, 4, 6, 6, 3, 1, 1, 1 = 59

>>21805870
Well, the teragen´s philosophy is basically Novas>Humans>Monkeys so it shouldnt be surprising

Mai: "Now, I dont think I could find any more on him soon, and miss Serrano is much too scared to testify, but if you manage to find something else, you will tell me, right?"

She dons a "Kiss the Cook" apron and starts slicing some habanero (holding them underwater) while the pan heats up on the fire.

>>21805906
Mai: "Well, maybe we should try to liberate someone else from his house staff? it would be technically kidnapping if we pick someone who isint mind controlled, however"

>>21805917
"Well, I have convinced some Utopia nova's to come over to the XWF. The story is supposed to be that they're here to clear out the Teragen scum from the league. I suppose its going to turn out to be more true than the Bomber Lord expects."

>>21805838

"Booth Babes" is the term you want.

>>21805917

If Ned were talking to someone who was mind-controlled, would he be able to roll to realise something was up? Would his 'Natural Empath' enhancement pick up on that sort of thing?

>Ask a Bomber employee what they think of his mental state
>See if they give the same robotic answer that we found on his medical records


"Mai, this is exceptional work. Is there anything I can do to return the favour?"

>would he be able to roll to realise something was up? Would his 'Natural Empath' enhancement pick up on that sort of thing?
Uhmm... I think so, but how are you going to do that. Going to visit bomber lord while he´s not home?

>>21805997
OM NOM NOM.
We should probably ask her if she can take a look at our prospective fighters and tell us what she thinks.

>>21806002

Surveillance. Wait until one of his drones leaves his house on an errand, then 'accidentally' bump into them in the street.

Ned doesn't really have a Black Ops skillset yet, though if we wanted to get our guys to stage a full assault, I'm pretty sure they'd do it.

>Brass bulldozes through a wall, Python uses Time Dilation and Hypermovement to dash around and scout the place.

Failing that, if Aura Accussa joins Archangel as a Utopia representative in the XWF, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't need much persuasion to go all Mata Hari for us.

>>21806067
Problem is she may join the other team, or get mind controlled

>>21806092

Call up the BioLab, let's get her Mental Immunity (which would also help her with her poor Impulse Control)

>>21806142
>Aura
>Poor Impulse control
That´s like saying the sun is kinda warm

My friend sent me this video
http://youtu.be/7TVUncuqiYc

Anyway, Adam was arriving right now, and called to tell you he would go to the office tomorrow, so you have most of the day free right now. Want to do anything specific? I assume you can read Aura´s medical/personal file since shes being transferred to you, to find out about her.. erhh... impulsiveness, so you could call the Yakazawa biolab if you wanted to get her an appointment, tho you probably need to clear it out with her first.

Also, she has little to no actual martial arts experience, since she relies a lot on her powers.

Mai: "Sure, I don´t mind, so long as you can bring them over"

>>21806201
Brass should get his mental resistance bumped. And we ashould get a power for ourselves. Maybe something that forces a will save? We might actually do some damage that way.

>>21806254
IIRC, we were going to get him the luck power

http://youtu.be/D8wkQIqOsdM

Well fed and rested, you drive off from the ranch, back towards the city when you get a call from your secretary

Aritsu: "Boss, mister Wolfside called. He wants to know if you have gotten him his first Omega match yet"

>>21806270

Toss up between that, Teleport and Shut Down Other Powers.

I think Luck fits nicely.

>>21806327

Today's next task - Booking.

The only question is whether Brass wants to fight alongside Python for the Tag Gold, or just go straight up to Omega.

If the latter, we can fix him up with El Novo Santo.

>>21806407
Well, for Omega Division fighters
El Nova Santo
Bomber Lord (Obviously)
Farmer John (hillbilly gimmick, but goddamn he hits hard)
Crusher
King Monitor
Mauler
Father Rengar
Hyperbeast

These guys are all free this weekend for a reason or the other. Brb

>>21806448
Can we get a quick summary of them all?
Ned's should use his gigantic brain to gather Basic Intelligence on Brass' possible opponents.

>>21806448
El Nova Santo is old school with massive physical attributes, as well as abilities to boost himself even tougher. He does a lot of aerial maneuvers but can´t actually fly

Bomber Lord uses plasma explosions (mostly) and psi powers on the side, as well as physical attacks

Farm John is a brawler type with the ability to grow massively tall/strong/heavy

Crusher turns to a super tough material and gains a lot of strength. His fists turn into battering rams but mostly he wins by holds/grappling

King Monitor shapeshifts into godzilla, basically

Mauler dislocates limbs, breaks bones and tears muscle and ligament as his specialty. His powers are mostly about movement so he can close distance no matter what. He also can emit cold from his whole body (immolation: cold)

Father Rengar has this african shaman thing going on. He says he channels beasts during fighting to take on their attributes.

Hyperbeast is basically Kodiak on steroids, stronger, faster, more dangerous in every way. His claws can cut even ethereal forms.

>>21806523
>King Monitor shapeshifts into godzilla, basically
Well the obvious choice is to fight King Monitor in Japan, then!

>>21806581

With Blue Oyster Cult doing the music.

I do have one query.

Is there a power enhancement that means even unsoakable damage is soakable? A counter-power to the Really Hard Fists that Python has?

>>21806630
Uhmm... not that I am aware of. Will probably check this weekend while doing the new guy´s sheets

>>21806602
Any song in mind?

http://youtu.be/RwsltwhTugU

But you are right, we should totally host that fight in Japan. Good thing the Omega division rings are built specially for each fight, because this one is going to need a lot of space

>>21806630
Oh god, I have a feeling this is going to start an arms race between damage soak and unsoakable damage.

Pic related, it's what's gonna happen to Exile, eventually.

>>21806682

>Mega Strength 8 when fully buffed
>Able to use Statue of Liberty as a club

Suplexing Godzilla? In the words of referee Mills Lane, "I'll allow it!"

We need to book that to co-incide with the launch of the anime series

Japan is so short on land, though, I think they should build the arena to float offshore.

>>21806746
I think we could put things in the "phased-out" zone, which already is beyond exiled anyway.

Yes, I´m such an oldfag at MTG I actually use cards with phasing, still.

Cards that are phased out are not even exiled, they dont even exist.

>>21806828
>Japan is so short on land, though, I think they should build the arena to float offshore.
A-are you me? I was just thinking of that, maybe on the tokyo bay

>>21806867
>Cards that are phased out are not even exiled, they dont even exist.

Actually it's more like quantum superposition. They do exist and are represented, and when they phase in, they don't actually "enter" the battlefield (and don't trigger ETB abilities), but they don't actually exist, as you say.


Also, hello.

>>21806905
>quantum superposition. They do exist and are represented, and when they phase in, they don't actually "enter" the battlefield (and don't trigger ETB abilities), but they don't actually exist

Eh, I got all that out of my system when I phased out a cat warrior, once. So many schrodinger´s references. So sad my opponent was a uncultured swine

>>21806950
Goddammit TKOAND, I was just about to make a Schrodinger joke about phasing...

Anyway, you want to organize a fight between Brass and King in Japan, then?

Are you going to try to shoot the fight, or have it happen?

File: 1354205616741.gif-(36 KB, 600x240, You're awesome.gif)

>>21807022
Is Brass even ready for the fight?

We need to make Brass a lot more durable.

I do want the fight to be real, though.

What I think is important is not losing momentum. I mean, we've built up a huge fanbase now. To make sure our merchandise really, really hits the mark, we need to:
1) Inform the higher-ups how important it is that we are given more creative and logistic control over production (telling them the funds and the scope they've planned is way too small)
2) Power up the hype train and do more promotional videos. Especially Ami needs to be propped up as a fucking fighting goddess. I'm suspecting something's interesting about her that we don't know.
If Bomber Lord could have been taken out by Ami, it indicates Bomber Lord has a weakness that we don't know about, considering Ami has no anti-mind control things.
3) Start building a fanbase around Ned. If Ned becomes popular, he becomes harder to fire. Which is a real concern if he gets too valuable. The higher-ups will feel threatened, and they will just fire him, figuring the old profits were good enough, if that means not losing your job.
4) Start getting better relations with the higher-ups. Arrange for a dinner at a high-class dining establishment. Bring Ami, Brass and Python. Mai won't come, seeing as we don't want them to know all our secrets.
We'll get the executives to love us as well as fear us.
5) Start getting Ned trained in mental powers. Mega mental stats are a great fit for him, and useful.

>>21807022
I say we shoot it, no matter who comes out victorious, the fans would be the real winners of the fight.

....We should also get Brass a costume for this fight, maybe some Brass armor or something.

>>21807080
Brass has density manipulation. Should be decent enough armor/costume.

The thing about shooting it is, we don't get to see Brass' true capabilities in the Omega league. While the business aspect is important, I think the progression and the ability to predict what will happen when the overarching Teragen/Shit-going-down plot happens is more important..

Well, I think we should use some exp in getting Brass a higher Eufiber rating to increase his soak.

Btw, Hi Brass Brawler, are you on a new job? you are joining the thread rather late.

Should we end the thread here for today? I remind you we are gonna try to play rogue trader tomorrow on openRPG an hour after the regular XWF questthread

>>21807022

It will happen, but not for his Omega re-debut. Something like that needs full-on hype mode (aka Ned making a ten-success Promo Roll). Plus, it'd need to be approved by Upper Management, and the Krew would pitch a fit if they weren't given enough warning

>>21807103
No, but I'm having exams which are tiresome.

>>21807103

Related to that - Did you get my sheet for tomorrow OK? Are the numbers alright?

>>21807156
I almost never worry about the character sheets. If I feel they are cheating, I just throw them a lictor or two

Anyway, anyone else going to play? would be kind of hard to have a game with just one person

>>21807185
Unfortunately, I spend all my fridays on either FNMs, or parties 'n shit.

>>21807125
Same here. Also, we need to get Brass more power. How much XP does the guy have anyway?

>>21807185
I can play if we start late enough. What do you want me to play?

>>21807212
30 on his personal pool
There´s 40 on the communal pool

Edric is an archmilitant, so it would be good if you could be the Rogue Trader. Having a NPC be the boss sucks. Can´t help but feel I´m railroading.

Btw, I did not remember you could start with a storm bolter right away. And on the reasons to kill, are you reading the thread on your phone or a proper computer?

Well, now I know what I´ll be drawfagging this evening

>>21807269
Oh alright

>>21807278
Anyway, want to organize a fight with one of the others, then?

>>21807316
We might have an advantage against Mauler.

>>21807233
Ooh I'm gonna have some fun. So spend 10 XP on armor to get him +3 bashing/lethal soak. Then 18 on eurofiber to get him another +3 bashing/lethal/aggravated soak. Then spend the rest of his personal XP and three communal to get Invulnerability rank 2

>>21807316

I like the idea of a Bro Match between Santo and Brass.

Other options are Mauler (absorbing the cold) or Hyperbeast (soak the damage, smack him about)

>>21807363
Hyperbeast's damage is lethal. Don't we only have bashing soak?

>>21807335

After that, more Increased Density for extra extra soak?

Also - It's time for Python to get another set of arms. And some funky Pressure Strike tricks

>>21807393
Actually, I was thinking more damage dice.

>>21807373
both Armor and Eufiber give you soak against both bashing and lethal.
Eufiber also gives you soak against aggravated

>>21807335
Sounds okay, I´ll update his sheet later

>>21807363
Santo would probably be okay with shooting the match so Brass´ returns to omega division with a certain win

>>21807393
Seems okay

File: 1354209723388.pdf-(125 KB, PDF, Rob Wolfside The Brass Re(...).pdf)

Alright, updated Brass´ sheet

>>21807668
Could you put up the others' sheets too? Ned, Ami and Python?

What time would Rogue Trader be starting, and where?

I look forward to hearing about xenos scum being killed!

>>21807750
The immolation could be really, really useful against Bomber Lord if she has to go up against him, at some point. Bomber seems to rely a lot on his energy attacks and mind control and other types of quantum abilities.

>>21807668
I have one question. Why aren't we throwing people? I vote we fight King Monitor and then once we get serious throw him. How far could we throw the guy if we got up to mega strength 8?

>>21807829
Tomorrow? Fuck yea, might be able to make that! What niches does the group need filling? And do you have an e-mail? I can throw a sheet together tonight!

File: 1354211064616.png-(706 KB, 460x1400, 2012-10-14-talesofvaloran014.png)

>>21807841
like i said. It´s tomorrow, 25 minutes from now

>>21807857
I dont know, honestly. I assumed we would be throwing people all the time, yet we haven´t.

is something like 5 more meters per mega strength dot or so (I think, off hand). IIRC the rules for throwing are on the sheets, tho

>>21807859
Right now we just have an archmilitant

>>21807857
>absorb energy from lighting
>everything goes dark
>throw Godzilla through the fucking roof
>light shines down
>Brass stands alone
>Get dunked

>>21807876
It's two more meters per mega strength dot, one per normal.

So 21 meters total.

That's kinda silly, how little it is.
I mean, if you can club someone with the statue of liberty, throwing a normal-weighted guy a couple of kilometers isn't weird.

Maybe if we get quantum leap, grab someone by the neck, jump straight up as far as we can into the air, then seismic throw them back to the ground?

>>21807938
That's ten extra dice of damage. Which is pretty damned decent.

>>21806630
>"Iron Hand (1 experience point Asso-ciated, 3 experience points Non-Associated)
Prerequisites: 1st Boxing, Karate or Kung Fu specialty or at least 3 dots of Strength, Brawl (or Martial
Arts) and Resistance.
You have toughened your hands from repeatedly strik-ing hard surfaces, until your fists are as hard as
iron. All of your barehanded strikes ignore 1 point of soak, regardless of what that soak is derived from.
Novas with the Impervious enhancement are immune to this soak reducing effect. Your intensive training
has made your hands less sensitive, and you suffer a +1 difficulty modifier on Perception & Dexterity rolls
involving fine manipulation or tactile sensitivity."
This count?

>>21807859
I'm the one supposedly making the Rogue Trader
I'm totally fucking lost though.

>>21807938
Throw: The attacker grabs her opponent at +1 difficulty to hit, then uses the target´s own momentum to throw him. The target is launched a number of meters equal to the attacker´s Strength (opponents with alot of momentum may travel up to an extra two meters). The target suffers a knockdown automatically,and he takes Strength +1 damage plus an additional die of damage for every two meters he was thrown(rounded down). Characters with Mega-Strength automatically throw a target two additional meters per automatic damage success. Landing on harmful objects or debris can increase the damage effect.

>Two additional meters per automatic damage success.
Did you miss this part? with mega strength 5 you have 25 automatic successes on damage, so thats 50 meters
With mega strength 8 you would have 40 automatic successes so thats 80 meters (I do agree it feels like a short distance, tho)

>>21808018
Oh, I guess we do have a Rogue Trader, then. Well, we have the RT and the archmilitant, then.

I somehow picture Mai as a seneschal

>>21808049
That makes more sense, I missed that part, yeah.

Although that is insane because that is like, 50 dice of damage from ONE throw.

That is hilarious and silly and crazy.

HOPE YOU GOT SOME SOAK, NIGGA

>>21807969

Impervious is exactly what I was thinking of for Brass. Or for anyone going up against Python.


Oh, and King, I thought we agreed 7pm GMT/2pm 4chan time for our game? It's just that I'm supposed to be meeting a friend off the train around 6, and nobody's made OpenRPG for Android... If we do start at 6, apologies in advance for being late.

Maybe Millandson could be the Trader, then? And/or he could help you with Chargen

>>21808121
Oh. I dont mind. Im not sure on the time myself. Im just gonna make the room in the server tantric (check the other servers if its down, it happens sometimes) and wait for you guys to show up, any way.

We can start right at this time (tomorrow) or an hour from now (tomorrow). I dont mind either way

>>21808076
It always made me think of Zangief, somehow

Shit, doublepost

>>21808076

BRASS used SEISMIC TOSS!
It's super effective!

>inb4 some smartarse point out that Seismic Toss deals a fixed amount of damage

>>21808248
Anyway, doing some quick math, the throw does a max of 19d10 damage. Just saying
It is a good way to get someone to be in knockdown, tho

>>21808334
Why does it do a max of 19d10 damage?

>>21808049
by my count that's actually 13 (mega strength+ strength) + 1 + 40 (80 meters/2)

>>21808343
str + 1 attacker´s strength. Normal strength cannot go higher than 5, so the base damage is 6

Plus 1d10 for every 2 meters you throw someone.
You throw someone two additional meters per automatic damage successes.

So basically a throw converts your potential, automated damage successes, into damage dice on a 1:1 ratio

Normally, mega strength also goes to 5, and thats 25d10--- oh you are right, its 31d10, my bad.

So with normal maximum str (5) and "normal" maximum mega strength (5) you do 31d10 damage dice.

However, a ring is not that big, you know? come think of it, the maximum damage is determine by the length of the throw. How big is a ring?

>>21808334

19d10 damage that are all autosuccesses

Plus extra Mega Strength damage

Serious pain

>>21808402
On the other hand, you can get hurt more at the discretion of the ST if you hit something hard. How much damage to you get for getting smacked into an impenetrable force-field?

>>21808402

Anyone remember the Browser Boss Battles in Mario 64?

That's how Brass v King Monitor will end

>>21808402
Don't our absorption things also play in?

I feel it's kinda ridiculous we do this much damage, most of which is automated, but hey, anything goes in Omega division.

Idea: we make the marks realize Brass has been going easy on the Gold division. Nothing explicit, just show that Brass is actually fucking shit up on a continental scale when he needs to, and set out some rumors.

This will culminate in a fight against Python where the two will have to prove they didn't fake it, since how could Python get so close to beating Brass if Brass is so incredibly good? Brass would have had to have been faking it, which will do disasters to Python's reputation.

Which is where we will have the first, real fight between Python and Brass.

>>21808429
there´s no such thing as a impenetrable anything, just a very strong one. But lets add +4 damage.

The fight vs Monitor may be the exception since the ring will need to be extra big to accommodate him.

Anyway, I´ll see you tomorrow guys. Gonna grab brunch. Will still monitor the thread tho

>>21808507
Of course, this will lead to Python getting into the Omega division when he (probably) wins.

Best intro to a new division ever?

Probably.
