[OOC] R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

[Eklispe]

So we say we're moving, that removes the exile effect and then we can make our actions as normal?

[Genni]

@Eklispe Yes. And you can also take an action on the way up the stairs to join the fight, if you want to.

The only problem you'll have is actions which affect the whole team, like Heretic's Minor Mutation and Rocksmith's We Will Rock You, won't affect the members of the team who aren't with you until you get back to them.

@rush99999 Just to warn you, if you decide to head off to the roof you'll be leaving the current engagement and won't be able to participate again until the others either follow you or finish the engagement without you. And I wouldn't let them use the same trick to trap the SWAT Officers a second time.

Are you sure you want to skip this engagement and lose out on the XP and gear which could be gathered from it?

@Genni

Not to sound cynical, but if we stay back to beat up the swat, will the girl still be there when we are done or is it an either/or?

Also, not sure if anybody else noticed, gungirl1 dragged away gungirl2, but gungirl1 only came out of that room alone, where is the unconcious but possibly recovering gungirl2?

[GodOfWar]

Hmmm... Question, what are the stats for the heavily armored vehicles' side windows?

[Eklispe]

@knighthawk "before escaping with her partner."

Read a little closer.

[knighthawk]

@EklispeWhoops!

[Behemoth542]

As far as I know, yeah. Sigma's in the hall, being there... waiting for its new commands... Sigma's a robot, not much of a free will.

@knighthawk

There doesn't appear to be any way the girls will be able to get off the roof for at least... let's say, 25 rounds. If you stay and fight the SWAT Officers unless you take an extremely long time to finish them off the girls should still be up there waiting for you.

The plan is that the final confrontation with the girls which will end the current mission will happen on the roof, once you get up there.

Also, not sure if anybody else noticed, gungirl1 dragged away gungirl2, but gungirl1 only came out of that room alone, where is the unconcious but possibly recovering gungirl2?

@knighthawk

Gungirl 1 was KO'd in the first fight, but recovered automatically when she and Gungirl 2 escaped the main hall. Gungirl 1 then came out of the room and played the music before both she and Gungirl 2 escaped up onto the roof.

Both of them are now fully recovered, and are now packing some meta powers for you to contend with.

Hmmm... Question, what are the stats for the heavily armored vehicles' side windows?

@GodOfWar

Since they'd heavily armoured they have Defence 15 and 100 Health. Luckily they have 0 Attack so you can stand there jeering at them all day and they won't be able to do anything to hurt you.

They also have the Pay Back special ability, which will automatically wound anyone who KOs them.

Not sure how much use the truck's going to be to walk up a flight of stairs though. The corridor from the garage isn't wide enough for it to fit through and the stairs themselves wouldn't be able to take the weight of the 20 ton truck if you manages to get it there.

You could possibly drive it round to the front of the bank and ram raid the main entrance, getting the tuck into the main hall, but you'd then be in the same boat as Sigma, having to deal with the SWAT Officers at long range with a bonus to their defence for having the higher ground.

@Behemoth542

TIme to order him upstairs I think. Those incendiary shells might come in handy soon. :)

[GodOfWar]

Hmm... Well there goes my masterful plan XD

[Behemoth542]

@Genni You really want me to blast the hell out of the people, right?

[Genni]

@Eklispe It's going to take a round before you can get up the stairs, Flare wouldn't be able to shoot at the SWAT Officer until then. That's what the Exiled status effect is all about. :)

@Behemoth542

The bad people, yes. Not the nice people, the ones with the medicines and jet packs and not-evil musical instruments.

@Genni

When you say I won't be able to participate until the others follow me, does that mean that I'd have to wait for the others to finish the SWAT guys before I can fight the main villains, or would both fights be happening at the same time?

@rush99999

You'd have to wait. Basically if you go up onto the roof alone the girls will immediately find a way to disable you until the rest of the party catch up. You can imagine that being a Rock Off where you and they play music at each other with absolutely no effect, other than to attract the attention of a record producer in the street below who'll try to sign you all up on his label as a three piece.

This is simply because I don't want to be trying to keep two battles straight in my head at once, and if you do manage to beat them Rocksmith would get all the rewards for himself leaving the rest of the team dragging behind. :p

@GodOfWar Are you sure Heretic wants to go to the main hall, not the upper hallway where the SWAT Officers and his allies are?

@Genni

so you can basically jump from the garage to the upper hallway?

Hmmm, gotta change my post again... Grumble Grumble...
