Fire ze missiles!

Normally I don't want to be this guy, but I have a question about the update. If the explosion from the Extinguisher was enough to send me flying off the building, the object was right in Thrash's face. She should've been at least disrupted or hindered in some form to prevent actions

@Leolycan

She's been blinded, which prevents her from performing any regular attacks. Unfortunately her drumming ism't a regular attacks and as a punk rocker she's more than used to having things explode in her face in the middle of her performances, especially since Discord's normally bouncing around the stage blasting out power chords and guitar solos almost randomly.

I did try to warn you that the attack wouldn't be very successful, and gave you a chance to change your mind, but you decided to go ahead with the exploding gas canister anyway providing Thrash with smoke screen cover and launching yourself off the roof clutching a gas-propelled rocket.

"Shouting man. Orders are not followed because of the strength of your lungs, but rather the strength of your heart. To order a person, you must know them, and to know a person you must first know yourself. And then, you must know your enemy. Know yourself, and Know your enemy, and you need not fear a Thousand Battles".

Deimos is just going to have to cave in Thrash's face then.

[Genni]

So he settled for picking up the 'model rocketship' (how fitting) And tried to knock her ass out with a football throw to her nose like Janet Brady.

<Action: Stone skin armored, +5 defense.>

@knighthawk

Just to check, is Brick attacking or trying to defend again?

[GodOfWar]

Hmm... Deimos is possessed by a Demon Queen...

Backstory anytime soon?

[Genni]

@GodOfWar

The mission should be over soon, Heretic can take her for a drink and compare possession stories.

Not A Demon Queen. Queen of the Deimos.

@Genni

Heretic's story is pretty short, and somewhat pathetic. Betting on Deimos's to be the interesting one.

@KabenSaal

Queen of the Deimos, sounds like the head of a powerful magic family monarchy. Maybe even Queen of a long lost race? Wait, hold on...

Race/Species: British, Demi-human/Child of the Black Cup

Age: AT THE PRESENT TIME, THE ONE CALLED 'NENATAlEV' HAS SURVIVED TWENTY SOLAR ROTATIONS

Deimos's CS

It's confirmed, Deimos is from an alien/God space race. Time to load up the chat with conspiracies.

[KabenSaal]

The Deimos are a multirace. While Nena herself is from a powerful magic family - her father is The Beast - The Deimos themselves come from many different races. The only thing connecting them is The Black Cup. Deimos, the human Nena, is born from a human mating with one of the Black Cup Deimos. So, she is half alien, and named after the Queen of the Deimos.

@KabenSaal

So, the queen of Deimos is the one possessing her? Interesting, Deimos's got her great great great great great grandma beating up a Demon Prince that isn't much older than Heretic himself. I sense a plot idea is afoot

@GodOfWar

Yes. Nena isn't technically the Queen. The Deimos have no hierarchy. It's only the fact that Nenatalev is the strongest Deimos that she is called the Queen. And she is not related to the Human Nena, only possessing her from the connection all Deimos have to the Black Cup. They are not demonic in nature, just called Demons because of how strong the Black Cup makes them.

@Genni

my bad, throwing a rocket at the woman, not defending again. edited.

[Leolycan]

Guess I was expecting a more radial explosion then a directed one... Oh well. Live and learn.

@Leolycan

The main problem was that you specifically said that Vex pierced the canister, in which case there'd only be a small hole for the gas to escape from, hence the rocketing effect. If he'd stood back and kiked the canister into Yjrash's face from across the rofftop you'd proiably have ended up with an entirely different outcome.

And before you ask, yes there are several other fire extinguishers inside the building, along with other emerbency supplies.

[General Scales]

Wouldn't be the first time a pressurized container hurt someone and it won't be the last.

[SimplyJohn]

Okay... Bumblebee is currently Levitating, and she needs to be Levitating to use Afterburners!, but if I stop Levitating in mid-air could she use her Afterburners! on the same turn, since she'd still be up high enough to slam down into the ground using the extra thrusters? Or would she have to be Levitating at the end of the turn for the Afterburners! to work?

[Genni]

... if I stop Levitating in mid-air could she use her Afterburners! on the same turn..?

@SimplyJohn

Personally I'd allow it, only for the fun of seeing Bumblebee pancake herself into the ground at such high speeds.

Defence 10 + Attack 7 + Speeding 5 + Impact 10 = 32 Damage, reduced by 10 Defence = 22 Damage = KO'd Jet Pack Speedfreak!

On the plus side, it'd definitely be worth an extra XP award.

[SimplyJohn]

But it would also take out Thrash at the same time, if I slammed into her, so would a glorious death (or temporary KO'd status) be worth taking the nosedive?

[General Scales]

I'd be totally worth it.

[Genni]

Except Afterburners! is an upgrade to your next attack, not an attack of its own and so you wouldn't be able to guarantee a hit against Thrash while plummeting from the sky.

You could try it and see what happens though. :D
