Turn 57
find a good hiding place
(4) You manage to sneak away from the intruders, and then head inside a boxfort, creeping as far back into the darkness inside of it as you can.
hurl a fireball, and tell Hector to do the same. Tell the Commander to shoot the attackers with his MP5. shriek like a banshee. focus his singing to cause pain to the soldiers.
(3) You tell the Commander to attack them with his singing, and then tell Hector to join you in a fireball assault on the SHIELD operatives. You try to prepare a fireball to hurl at them,
(1) but you can't summon the right kind of magic for some reason, and instead you create a small lightning bolt,
(6) which you manage to redirect towards one of the boxforts,
(1) which instantly collapses into a pile of lightly charred boxes.
I use my knowledge of ropes to pinpoint the weak spots on the ropes keeping my legs tied up, and chew my way to freedom.
(5) You try to use your knowledge of ropes to pinpoint a weakness in the chain your legs are tied up with, but it is of no use. So you simply bring the chain up to your mouth and start chewing on it,
(2) and get about halfway through. The guards didn't notice anything, or if they did they are acting very calm.
Hades will pulverize a copter against the ground in the middle of the SHIELD operatives, with the objective of having the copter detonate violently as he does so.
(4+1=5) You manage to get a hold of one of the helicopters with your powers, and try to smash it into one of the SHIELD squads on the ground,
(1) there is nothing its pilot can do now that you have it firmly in your grip, and you hurl it towards the group patrolling the perimeter!
(2) They were totally unprepared for this, and seven of them were struck by the helicopter,
(4) three of them instantly died, but the other three were just grazed by the helicopter and knocked to the ground, with just some bruises.
(4) The helicopter smashes into the ground at high speed, creating a small crater where it landed. But through what can only be described as a miracle, the pilot and two of the SHIELD operatives inside the helicopter survived the violent crash. The two operatives joined the nearby group while the pilot ran to one of the other helicopters for extraction.
Drop firearms, keep knives, and go with the SHIELD operatives
(3) "I'll agree to that. They may have other prisoners as well, acting under coersion. I promise not to shoot any of them fatally. My commander is likely wounded somehow, there might be a woman in there that was tending him. I believe she's a prisoner as well. I'd prefer to follow you in if I may. Is that alright?" you say to the commander, and put down your pistol and rifles on the ground next to the chopper, so you can find them later. Then you prepare to follow the SHIELD operatives.
I examine the helicopter's configuration and personnel, looking for 1- A way to escape the handcuffs without being seen, and 2- A way to incapacitate or/and kill any guards onboard.
(5) You look around you while working your handcuffs to get loose, and after a minute or so you have your right hand free, it seems they didn't check to make sure your handcuffs were properly secured, maybe they didn't think of you as a threat? You hold on to the handcuffs to make it look like you are still bound, and take some more time to observe the inside of the helicopter. There are five SHIELD operatives sitting on wall-mounted seats towards the front, and you are lying on the floor further back. You don't really manage to come up with any ways to incapacitate them though. At least you learned a little about escaping restraints.
I wake up.
(3-2=1) You don't manage to wake up.
Enemy Actions:...
(3) They keep on flying towards their destination.
Counter-Attack!
(2) They don't know where the attack came from, so they can't shoot back.
Search and destroy
(3) They spot Lucien, which isn't too hard, considering that he just launched a lightning bolt across the room, and try to shoot him,
(4+1=5) striking him in the chest,
(6-1=5) but he manages to fight off the numbness and get behind cover!
Breach HQ
(6) The run in through the hole created by the other groups, and start shooting in random directions,
(6) hitting a C4 charge dropped by one of their comrades,
(1) causing it to detonate!
(3) It injures the man closest to it, but otherwise fails to do much damage.
Search and destroy
(3) They tried shooting Lucien, but he dived behind cover before they could do so.
Attack Hades
(3) They manage to spot a suspicious person in an alley, and decide to shoot first and ask questions later. (2+1=3) They did manage to shoot the dumpster he's hiding behind, are they going to interrogate it now maybe?
Allied Actions:Shoot SHIELD operatives!
(6) She pulls out her M16 and shoots at the group that just entered,
(1+1=2) but just after she began shooting she spots Blarney among them, and quickly stops. She seems very hesitant to attack the enemy while he is among them.
Sing violently!
(3+2=5) He starts doing his best to damage the enemy using his voice, but to no avail, it seems that the voice of a normal person is simply not loud enough.
Attack!
(6) With a loud high-pitched scream he launches at the enemy, while preparing a small fireball.
(3) He then launches the fireball at one of them,
(5)but the rather pathetic fireball didn't even singe his hair.
