I seem to recall being down to one hit point and six power points after the blast...caught the edge of it, if I remember correctly. Came pretty close to passing out, which isn't good when you're several thousand metres above the planet's surface!Earl J.

I recall the bomb incident going something like this: The players are trying to stop the summoning of some extra-dimensional entity or other, whose minions have constructed an adamantium platform built around a destructive device (at least as powerful as an h-bomb) which will sunder the dimensional veil to facilitate his Infernal Majesty's entry to this plane, etc. In the fight leading up to this, one of the team has been knocked unconscious, and everyone is looking a bit worse for wear just getting to the damned thing.<BR/><BR/>Me (GM): "Looking at the device, two things are immediately obvious to you: it has armed itself, and you have absolutely no hope of disarming it."<BR/>Dave (Exocet): "I grab Evermore (Mike's character) and drag him under the platform. That might dampen the blast enough for us to survive."<BR/>Mike (John Paul Evermore): "Thanks man."<BR/>Me: "Brent? What does The Freak do?"<BR/>Brent (The Freak): (snorts)"Not much I can do. I haul ass over to Exocet and Evermore and throw myself over them. Anything that gets through the adamantium, my body should stop."<BR/>All: (hushed silence)<BR/>Brent: "Who knows, I might even live."<BR/>Me: "Uh, wow. Okay Earl, that just leaves you. There are ten seconds left on the timer, what is The Oscillator going to do about the explosion?"<BR/>Earl (The Oscillator): "I outrun it."<BR/>(Pandemonium ensues, peppered with cries of "Holy crap...", "No shit?!" and "You can do that?"<BR/>Earl: "If I take off *right* now, I'll be in the troposphere when it goes off, then fly back and evacuate you guys."<BR/>Mike: "Go Earl! Go!"<BR/>Me: "Be quiet and act unconscious."<BR/><BR/>Of course he did outrun it. Well, most of it anyways. And good manged to survive long enough to triumph over evil at long last. But Earl's simple pronouncement of "I outrun it," will live eternally in my gaming memories along with "I uncloak now."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077773.post-1129917469156518382005-10-21T11:57:00.000-06:002005-10-21T11:57:00.000-06:00I always picture "Good Guy" bent over backwards on...I always picture "Good Guy" bent over backwards on top of the hydrant, his fingertips and heels touching concrete.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even play in this campaign, yet I remember it all so clearly. <BR/><BR/>< gasp > Does this make me a bigger nerd than you?<BR/><BR/>= (<BR/><BR/>Magic Word: "fapfnh" I imagine this is the noise made by a truck when depositied in a giant reptile's heart. <BR/><BR/>Edit: Nice drawing, Steve.<BR/><BR/>Edit 2: This is actually the third time I posted this comment.
