Oh, so that won't proc Vaerin's Void Burst ability? Damn.

@Shadowman215

Since Discord is still causing damage to his Defence, which in turn becomes Health loss, I'd say Void Burst would still trigger when hit with this ability.

I think that she may end up killing herself with that first ability ;D

@Shadowman215

How? It specifically only targets her enemies.

OH CRAP ON A CRACKER!

@knighthawk

You thought the boss fight was going to be easy, perhaps?

But did it have leather seats is the real question.

@General Scales

It had chairs upholstered with leather so smooth it sings lullabies to your buttocks every time you take a seat.

Why did they hurt the nice chopper?

@Shadowman215

If you meant the supersonic transport jet armed with missile launchers, chain cannons and four drinks dispensers (one of which specialises in magical elixirs) I thought it better not to give you such a powerful ally for the attack when the nine of you should have all the skills you need to take the girls down.

Music is a nice thing, why can't it just stay that way? ;-;

Mission #1, Encounter #3 - Rooftop Rock Out

Chasing up the stairwell after their companion the heroes found themselves on the bank's roof looking over at what only be described as a full sound stage, complete with towering speaker stacks and guard railings. Rocksmith was several metres away, hit guitar held ready to rock off against the two musical divas who were beating a steady rhythm with their guitar and drum kit combo.

Suddenly overhead flew a supersonic transport jet, its loading ramp lowered as the new teammates Psy-Warp, Deimos and Void launched themselves from the back. Single-use grav harnesses allowed them to land on the roof without injury before fizzing out, rendered useless.

"We're Hell's Bitches, you fucking assholes, and tonight you're gonna die for us!" Screamed Gungirl 1 before sending a a wave of sonic energy up towards the transport jet. Struck on the wing the plane immediately began to list in the air before quickly pulling back and flying into cover behind the nearby buildings, no longer able to offer assistance in the battle ahead.

---

Bumblebee, Flare, Brick, Heretic, Sigma and Nightingale are standing at the stairwell entrance onto the rooftop.

Rocksmith is several metres away, standing on the lip of a hole leading down to the floor below.

Psy-Warp, Deimos, Void are on the far side of the roof, on the opposite side of the stage but still in front of it.

Gungirl 1 (Discord) and Gungirl 2 (Thrash) are standing out in the open on the raised stage, surrounded by speaker stacks and stage lights.

In the far distance a helicopter can be seen flying towards the bank.

Discord uses Power Cord against the Transport Jet, causing the plane's hull to resonate, damaging itself. Transport Jet withdraws from battle.

Why did you post this in the character section?

@rush99999

Would you believe it's a placeholder for the GUngirls' profiles, and not because I posted my comment to @GodOfWar in the wrong place?

Blood Drenched Hero:
^{Reveling in the bloody splendor of battle, Heretic soaks up the gory antics around him and allows them to rejuvenate his dark soul. For every enemy that losses Health due to Heretic's Melee or Ranged attacks, Heretic regains 1 Energy for every 1 Health lost.}

@GodOfWar

Nice idea, but regenerating that amount of Energy with every attack would be far too powerful, Heretic would basically never run out of Energy at all!

Instead I'd accept a flat +1 Energy each time Heretic manages to wound a target, but only +1 and not per point of Health lost.

Luckily (unluckily?) the father of the bride is a recovering alcoholic and so there's only non-alcoholic beverages being served at the occasion.
