Tufty

well raylin might turn up later if ur givin me permission to use ur chars

i should be on til about 4 - 4:30 (could possible be later)
so i'll do as much as i can

well Phyria jumped on the band wagon today

kat/da scrapper, managed to get up to lvl 13 today so thanks to Del for all the good teams.. with one exception of course

what can i say.. tufty is a good name

anyway.. sorry to say but i mite be missin the session this week.. i'm off work next week and my gf has tuesdays off college so she wants me to take her to c harry potter then for a meal so dont think i'll be back in time :/

posi will have to wait another week

i can provide... well not much really

theres always the option to stealth missions aswell so hopefully it wont take too long.

the 3 early attacks in dark blast are useful in their own ways.

dark blast - standard attack, bit of dmg, low end cost and fast recharge

gloom - does more dmg than DB but is DoT. takes twice as long to recharge than DB tho and costs more end. generally 2 DBs = 1 gloom.

Moonbeam - sniper attack at lvl 4. highest dmg dealer (apart from Dark Star). obviously has longer recharge, higher end cost. the dmg it does is the equivilant of about a gloom and db. its sniper so can be interupted.

dark pit i've always found useless. the general opinion from most people is that it is no good unless it is heavily slotted with acc and duration SO's. so there is probably more useful powers u can take

ok.. this is my first attempt at anything like this so try to not be too hard on me
all heroes mentioned so far have been used with their permission so thanks guys (hope u like it)(with the exception of crossfire cos he hasnt been on ). All villains that appear later in the story are just made up names so hopefully i havn't stolen them off anyone

so here we go.. read on for first part of Forgotten.
more will be added as and when i write it

--------------------------------------------------------
She reached over and turned of the alarm clock. It hadn’t woken her. She hadn’t slept properly for over a week now, haunted by unknown images of fear and pain, images that weren’t hers. Why? She didn’t know. She sat up in bed and stared out the window, the sun was bright today, she squinted as her eyes adjusted to the light reflecting over the lake outside. It would have been a beautiful sight if her mind wasn’t clouded in darkness. She reached over and picked up a piece of paper beside the bed. ‘To my gorgeous tufty. Have a wonderful day, I will love you forever xx’. Every day she would read the note, every day trying to remember who it was from, trying to find answers. January 13th 2001, she couldn’t remember anything before that day. Instead her memories were filled with shadows and replaced by the visions that kept her awake at night. She got up and walked over to the wardrobe. “Time for work” she thought as she took the costume from the hanger. If you could call it work that is. Each day arresting some troll high on dine or stopping some outcast mugging an old lady. This was her life now, she didn’t know any different. Enrolled as a hero when these strange new powers came to fruition, after all it was heroes that saved her that day and she felt this was the best way to pay them back.

‘Hi doctor’
Tufty entered the doctors’ room. She had been meeting with Dr. Gillian McCoy for almost 4 years now. They were trying to find answers and piece together the troubled heroes past, as yet nothing had worked.
‘So how are you feeling today?’ the doctor asked.
‘Fine, well you know.. Same as usual.’
‘You’re not sleeping again are you? Anything wrong?’ Dr McCoy asked as she shone a light into the hero’s eyes. She had been working with her long enough now to know when something was wrong, that was the easy part. The hard part was getting the answers.
‘No, nothing in particular.’ The reply was what the doctor was expecting.
‘Well try these, they might help.’ The doctor handed a bottle of pills to Tufty. ‘Anyway, I’ve been asked to pass on some information to you about a mission. Someone seems to think it may help with what we are looking for.’
‘Why? How could this possible help me?’ The hero seemed puzzled.
‘Its in Striga.’
Striga Island. She hadn’t been back there since that day. The day when her life seemingly fell apart.
‘They understand if you don’t want to go, but someone was quite keen on you attending this particular mission.’
‘No, its fine. I had better not disappoint. I’ll get a team together and go investigate.’ With that the hero walked out of the room.

Tufty opened up her communication channels as she leapt through the city.
‘Hi everyone, Tufty SNHS reporting in. Any senior Precision Rangers on?’
‘Ranger Doulos here Tufty. What can I do you for?’
‘Hey D. Any chance I can have a team of Rangers?’
‘I’ll see what I can do Tufty. Where abouts are you heading?’
‘Over to Striga. Just got to investigate something.’
‘No worries. I think Frozen Rogue is near there. I’ll ask him to get a team together and meet you by the ferry.’
‘Thanks D’
‘Any time. Ranger out.’

She approached the meeting point. The team of Rangers were already there. Frozen Rogue, Accel, Crossfire and Chillblaze all stood in font of her. The red and white uniforms were unmistakable. Precision Rangers. Some of the finest heroes Paragon City had seen, if it wasn’t for them she wouldn’t be were she was today. If it wasn’t for some of them she wouldn’t even be here at all.

‘Hey Tufty!’ Frozen Rogue exclaimed as she approached the group.
‘Hi guys. Good to see you all again.’
‘Same to you Tufts. So what’s happening?’ Crossfire asked.
‘Oh you know.. Just the usual. I’ll fill you in on the way.’ Tufty replied as the rest of the heroes followed her onto the boat.




The team of heroes sat at the table as Tufty briefed them on their mission.
‘So that’s about it. Strange goings on, people being attacked by unknown things, people going missing. As yet they haven’t got any other information. Only this location we are heading to.’ She pointed to the map as the ferry swayed in the rough seas.
‘Looks as though there’s a storm coming.’ Accel pointed out of the window to the sky. Dark clouds had gathered in front of them.
Tufty sat with her hands on her knees. They were nearly on Striga now. She felt herself getting anxious as the destination got closer and closer. Her first time back on the island since that day. As they approached the dock she felt strange, as if something was calling out to her.

The ship arrived and the heroes walked out onto the island. The rain began to fall.
‘Ok, lets make this quick.’ Frozen Rogue, the young Rangers squad leader said ‘Here are the destination Co-ordinates.’
The heroes activated their travel powers and went into the darkness.

‘Over here.’ Chillblaze whispered as the rest of the team approached. He was standing by the edge of the woods, sheltering from the rain. ‘ We need to get over there.’ He pointed to a clearing over the other side. They could just make out a doorway, it was well hidden between the rocks and overgrown foliage. A pack of War Wolves stood near their destination, howling at the night sky. The heroes could see their breath in the cold damp air.
‘Great. So who wants to play fetch?’ Accel joked as he picked up a stick from the ground.
‘Love too.. but these are not what we are here for.’ Tufty said ‘I don’t want to be here any longer than necessary. Frozen, Chill if you care to do the honours.’

The two Rangers stepped forward and began to concentrate. Ice began to appear around the Wolves feet. Slowly creeping up their legs until there whole bodies were covered.
‘That should hol…’ A rock smashed into Chillblaze's skull sending the hero tumbling to the ground.
‘Over there!’ Tufty screamed.
They had been spotted. The wolf began to charge at them. Snarling and growling as it approached, its eyes glowing in the moonlight.

The war wolf charged at the heroes. Saliva dripping from its fangs. Tufty ran over to Chillblaze.
‘Chill! Are you Ok?’
The fallen hero groaned and rubbed his head as he sat up.
‘Ouch. That kind of hurt.’
‘Crossfire! Take him down!’ Tufty shouted as she pointed towards the on coming beast.
Crossfire aimed a fireball at the monster, the blaze struck illuminating the night sky. It let out a blood curdling roar as its hair burned. It kept coming. Crossfire braced himself as it leapt towards him. He grabbed it by the wrists, trying to prevent its razor sharp claws from slicing him open. His touch burned to creature’s arms. Accel ran over an unleashed a torrent of energy that swept across the ground. It struck the target, knocking it off balance and out of Crossfire grasp.
‘Quick Cross! Blast it now!’ Accel shouted towards his fellow hero, preparing another attack. Both the heroes threw their arms forward in unison, unleashing their blasts simultaneously. Fire and energy rushed through the air towards the dazed target. The impact threw the heroes down as dust and smoked rose up, clouding their vision. As it began to settle they could see the fallen war wolf’s lifeless body on the ground.
‘Ok everyone gather round.’ Tufty said to the exhausted heroes as they all walked towards one of the frozen wolves. She extended her arms and grasped the air in front. The team felt life surging back through their bodies. They continued towards their destination.

The team entered the base. The were stood in a large cavern, the stone walls were being supported by metal girders and floors. The could hear water trickling down to the floor.
‘Look over there.’ Frozen Rogue pointed to where he wanted the heroes to go.
The heroes headed towards a passage way carved out of the rocks. They had yet to hear anything other than their own voices and footsteps.
‘Arrr!’ Tufty screamed in pain as she collapsed holding her head in her hands.
‘Tufty! What’s wrong?’ Frozen Rogue grabbed the hero. She was writhing with pain, she felt as if someone was gauging out her mind.

think i'm about 3 bars from 14s o wont take me long.

yeah was good as it normal is.

think skewer learned that archers cant herd

happy birthday!

grats KH!

fine by me.. not moved since last week so i'll be outside this mission entrance.

ranks on SNHS are still to be configured. as yet we havnt (Electrify can possible confirm this) come up with any customised ranks so maybe bringin the Rad Rangers into the SNHS with a seperate Rad Ranger rank could work.

err.. one idea could be to go into the whole science thing and have ranks based on like protons, neutrons etc etc.. apart from that i've no idea

u missed atomic rocket of the list aswell

nope no knockback.. just a funky PBAoE attack.. dont think it cause a load of dmg but it does enough.. and on multiple enemies aswell.. 8 irradiates should do a good job

if u want a demonstration before u get it give me a shout when i'm on and i'll get syphusion and show u

oh and no irradiate?

its my fav power on my other rad/rad! mini nuke at lvl 4!!!!

powexec_auto Healing Aura

i just have nothin thats more interestin to do at work!

nerrrrr

nope definately Solar

been discussed before and i think Larac set one up.. or was at leadt goin to set one up. i'm sure he'll post here about it when he sees this

and this should be a current roster for anyone whos interested:

Radoulos Prime - Doulos
Alpha-Strike - Frozen Rogue
Warhead - Ducky
Atomify - Harps
Scapegoat II - Scapegoat (should re roll as Scaptomigoat!! )
Exposure - MisterJ
PION - Halo
Atomic Rocket - Rocker
Radzinski - Crossfire
Radiant Star - Solar
RadChango - Statboy
Rainbow Brandy - Toerag
Radical - kronos
Luminos Green - Flitz
Radioactuftity - Tufty

these are just the names taken from th Rangers thread.. so theres probably a few more. But keep a look out for your fellow Rad Rangers

Radioactuftity will be made either late tonite or tomoro mornin think she'll be overtakin Yak as my 2nd alt

@ Dave: nope not a weekly meet, just a normal sg

[ QUOTE ]
Have you thought about six slotting Tar Patch (3x Recharge, 1x Slow and 2x To Hit Debuffs) it might have a real impact but I don't have the figures for the debuff component.


[/ QUOTE ]

looking at the build, byt the time the extra slots come available to put this into tar patch it really would not be worth it imo. darkest nite, fearsome stare and dark servant offer plenty in the way of to hit debuffs. we my defender i run those 3 normally during each big fight and dont normally have any problems with +3s/4s etc.

and thats of course if it is possible to slot it with tohitdebuffs
