It starts with a distant thud.

Boom... boom... boom...

Jenny, ever alert, is the first one to take notice of the sounds.

Boom... boom... boom...

Several of the remaining Mazerunners closest to a large bay door pause in their actions, realization and dread dawning upon their faces.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

"Oh, fuck." The elf beside Velari mutters, eyes wide and his ears twitching at each sound.

You hear nothing for five long seconds, not a single one of your enemies even daring to breath. Then, it happens.

Scrrrr-bang!

The door suddenly convexes, straining on it's hinges as, two large lumps forming in the middle. The weak iron snaps all at once, and it comes down with a thundering crash of dust. A large figure wades through the cloud, heavy hooves crunching the door beneath him. A heavy baritone voice reaches your ears, "You. Have been a pain in my ass for far too long. I gave you plenty of warnings, even let you have that piece of shit manwhore as a freebie. This, though? Busting into my home, taking out my mage, destroying my product?"

He snorts, and, you can see two glowing red eyes and the tips of two horns, each a full foot in length. His leather duster sways with each heavy step he takes, a large shotgun rests on his right shoulder with a finger at it's trigger. "How about I give you a first hand look on what I do to people stepping in my way? Men,"

A snap of his fingers, and several more of his Mazerunners follow in behind him. "Mop these fools."

GM: Boss mode time. The minions at the end of the last turn take no actions.

Copper
Cond: Normal
HP: 1

The dragon snarls and hisses at the door bulging, and instinctively steps back when the minotaur makes his entrance.

"This one is strong." he says, oblivious to the Capain Obvious impersonation, "We are going to have to work as a pack if we have any chance.

"Do not attack alone and do not move in close."

Felix Ian Xavier - Mr. FIX I.T.
Status: Normal
HP: 1


Felix just stares at the giant behemoth of a Minotaur and his mind can't help but go through all the ways this is going to end poorly. At the end of a hoof, a goring at the horns, or at the end of a giant fist.

Still when Longhorn finishes speaking he can't help but shake his head and say, "Well... that's a lotta bull."

Longhorn snorts and points at Felix. "Start with that one."

GM: Nice one. Take a hero point.

Cheyenne
HP: 1; Condition: Hunter

When Longhorn appeared Cheyenne had a brief flashback to the last time shed taken a Minotaur on. The hospital food had sucked and her bed was to short. Shed won but it had been a painful win.

Then the big guy threatened Felix, that was a no no. She let him have a shot across the enormous Nose with a table that she picked up and swung with authotity.

Cheys gonan pop bull in the nose with a table _: 1D20+6 = [6]+6 = 12


Nope no shes not. probably a miss but if it hits DC 25

With deft finesse unbecoming of a man his size he flipped his gun around and shot the table coming at him point black, shattering it into splinters which showered over his men. "Nice try. Men, fire."

They complied, proceeding unload clips of bullets at the team. Only a few actually mamnaged to reach their targets, the rest shattering more of the chemistry. Shards of glass fly into the air, chemicals stain the ground, and in one case a punctured canister begins to hiss.

"Eric, get up! We've got trouble!" Velari shouts at her fallen companion as blue ooze droops down from a gaping hole in her thigh. The woman twists her torso several times, before her body snaps back and let's her arms whip out in wide arcs to clip several mazerunners in the head. The elf beside her, a woman holding a heavy pistol, and a man wielding a bat all go down to her brutal wide-reaching attack.

Felix Ian Xavier - Mr. FIX I.T.
Status: Normal
HP: 1


Felix winces at the order to attack him first, and forces himself to not go running for cover immediately.

"I swear to god, this is like high school all over again," He flips his staff so the stave sits on his shoulder, the crystal pointing towards the goons who entered with Longhorn.

The staff shifted, a rectangular piece drops down like a pistol grip, pieces around the crystal spin at high speeds as they shift into the shape of a dish. From Felix's jacket a couple of small cables connected to the staff, while the robot arms raised over his head, pincers spinning and glowing with energy. Hack and Slash start emitting a loud high pitched squeal as they start glowing bright red and blue respectively from the back of Felix's jacket.

As the sound reaches a crescendo, with Felix's coat billowing as though caught in a gale force wind, everything suddenly comes to a sudden halt and a thin beam of silver energy cuts through the air hitting one of the mooks. With a sudden burst of light a dome of silver energy fills the space around the minions. A moment later the dome disappears, the wind rushes in to fill the space and series of tiny explosions fill the space in turn.
OOC: Going to power stunt a ranged burst attack off of the technomagic power, aiming for the largest group of baddies who aren't close to any of my allies. DC15 dodge to half the damage, and DC20 toughness.
Going to spend my new HP to clear the fatigue.

"Huh?" The man brandishing his SMG utters, before the explosion goes off centering on all the Mazerunners who just made their appearance. It's a fantastic show of lights and sound that sounds debris every which way. Even the team have to shield their eyes from the amount of power that just happened right before their eyes.

In the cloud of smoke, while nobody was caught off guard, only three of their number actually managed to make it through without a scratch by lway of being right behind Longhorn at the time. Once the smoke clears, you see that not even Longhorn was left unscathed. But he doesn't look happy, not one bit, and continues to glower at Felix in particular.

OOC: How far away is Longhorn from Eric? And, can Eric travel that far and attack with his claw-claw attack?

GM: He's within range of your movement rank, and with your Wall-Crawling ability you don't even necessarily need to stand up. You can race to him on all fours.

Eric Sams - El Tigre
H.P.: 1

"Bull must go down," Eric speaks softly to Velari, before bursting into action. Rolling onto all fours, he bolts towards Longhorn, moving at top speed. As he draws near, he lets out an earsplitting yeowl as he takes swings with both of his front claws.

Attack with Claws #1 (DC 23)
Results 1d20+8: 19 [1d20=11]

Attack with Claws #2 (DC 23)
Results 1d20+8: 28 [1d20=20]

OOC: If he has time, he will roll out of the way.
Thanks, and have a nice day :)

Longhorn is tough, very tough as Eric finds out. With his free hand he slaps the first claw away, but this left his belly wide open for the were-tiger to pour all of his might into what should've been an absolutely devastating strike that would devastate most foes. Yet with Longhorn, his claws seem to only leave a scratch.

"Strong. I like that." Is what he gives in response.

GM: I fyou had Move-by-Action, then you could've. As it stands, you're right in front of him

Toughness: 28
Edit: Due to Ichigorno opting to use a Hero Point to boost his attack last minute, the DC is then 29. Longhorn is bruised again.

OOC: Doesn't Longhorn take a penalty from being hurt already?
