Hey Sion, I'm a bit confused on what happened with that action. You said that I won the roll against them, but I can't really tell which of the rolls was a reaction roll, and then you have a bunch of rolls from me and attack rolls from them? Sorry, I'm just really confused by all that. I would really rather roll my own reactions since I have some SFX I'd like to use, and things like that. Should I make reaction rolls and if so what do I need to beat?

So, the reaction rolls were built from pools that were fairly generous - you get a team/solo/buddy, you get a distinction at D8, you get a power and you get a specialty. The rolls that were laid down were numbered and the reactions were also numbered and should have matched up. If they didn't then welp I'll try and fix that in future.

Also - I'm fine with people making their own rolls or I could do it and just work it into the reply. It's not a big deal for me to do that :)

Well, I liked the narrative flow of you being able to describe a little back and forth, so I'm cool with you rolling reactions.

The narrative flow is neat yeah, but I would prefer to roll my own so that I can use PP, SFX, stunts, things like that. That said I'll just use what you've already rolled instead of trying to retcon things. Though I will point out that Pete has Human Torch's SFX that allows him to deal stress with his effect die to enemies who try to attack at close range and fail.

Well there's being tough because you're brave and have been highly trained, and being tough because you're scared shitless and surrounded by the former.

Also, the only way to control a stray dog is to carry a big stick and make it think you're bigger and meaner.

How about that. Sunfire can apparently generate heat up to 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The melting point of iron is 2,800 Fahrenheit. Carbon, the element with the highest melting point, is 3,800. A very high temperature nuclear reactor operates at a theoretical capacity of 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yup! Rogue could, in theory, just turn her entire body into that level of heat and just walk right through the door. THe floor might not hold out so well but she could do it!

In order to avoid too much retconning, I'll leave this action as it lay, but if Sion's ok with it, let's say I would've rolled it at d4 for a pp.

So what's going on mechanically here? How much stress do the Sentinels have? I'm assuming Creed has none due to healing factor shenanigans and such, but what are we looking at for the robots? From your reaction to Rogue it sounds like we've won and just need to run like hell but I'm trying to figure out my action here.

Mechanically, both the sentinels are down right now. ONe of them seems to be doing a thing that sounds like it could be rebooting (the one that got electro-shocked) and the other one seems like it could be about to self destruct which, considering the amount of ordinance on board, could suck for everyone involved.

Creed and Wolverine are scrapping it out. Creed has taken some pain but the last attack basically did nothing - odds are Creed will get another hit in before the Sentinel detonates. Iffin' or not there's anything left of them once the explosion is over and if they want to carry on the fight is up to them.

Yeah it was weird. I was phone posting so it took some time because I'm terrible at that. Apparently it took me long enough to post that you beat me to it. Just weird that the timing worked out that way.

I'll have a post up when I have access to a real keyboard though. Does Creed have any stress for me to exploit?

Wanda is frequently totally bonkers. If Gambit's key character beat is "lovably(?) sleazy" and Wolverine has "SNIKT BUB," Wanda's is "sudden, violent mood swings."
