GM "Yes. I will have to pay." Jonathan stepped forward, towards the Preacher. Now alone, the Preacher slowly backed away, until he hit a cavern wall. He fumbled across it with an old hand, trying to find anything to hold on to, anything to use as a weapon. "Blasphemers! Heretics!" He was almost spitting, snarling at Ms. Bright. Opening his coat, his entire body radiated a blinding light. "You were perfect! You could have joined me! You could have become a true instrument of justice!"

And we're back in action. The Preacher creates a bright light, a visual obscure effect centered on his body. You're up. 23 - Ms. Bright - 1HP - Unharmed 20 - Jonathan - Bruise (x1) 14 - Preacher - Unharmed

GM "Gack!" Neil made his presence known to any that might have missed him. On the screen behind him, the cartoon chicken was causing trouble once more. Neil looked at him, made another loud "Gack!" sound, then turned back and looked at Blackstaff. The creature was part bird, part lizard. It stared around with large, bulbous eyes, and then, it slowly began to approach, creeping towards Blackstaff.

Archer II Another Merge showed up, with Camera Obscura staying at the bar. Yeah, alright, made sense. Couldn't break her cover like that. At least Connor didn't have any issues like that. "I'm good." Connor put the half empty bottle down on the counter and placed a bill with a nice tip. He winked at Camera Obscura and reached for the heavy backpack on the floor, pulling it up over one shoulder. Once they were out, he couldn't help himself. "Doesn't it get weird, watching yourselves, that whole hive mind thing? Its one thing that you gotta cozy up with a creep like Para LX, but watching yourself do it at the same time gotta be weird."

Nevermore II Callie was good, but Charlie was going to beat her to it... and honestly, it felt good to be able to show off a little bit. She was going to be the second Raven at some point in her future, and he was winning! The alarm instantly broke him out of those feelings. His GPS told him they were near the Diamond Quarter. Alright, yeah, Charlie could only wonder what was going on here. While Callie swung down, Charlie set into a dive, racing down towards her. "You're the local, any diamond thieves running around you know about?"
-
Yep, but you won't need it here, anyway.

OOC for this. @3personal5me Alright, the bank is barricaded, so the first thing you will probably want to do is to find a way in, or to figure out if you know anything about what's going on. That's where your Skills come in. Suggestions on what you could do: - Talk to the cops near the scene, ask what you can do. This most likely won't require any rolls, but if you want to, you can roll Diplomacy. - Try to find a way inside, you will be rolling with your Search skill for that. - Anything else you might want.

GM An Eastern Seaboard Bank in Wading Way, Freedom City October 19th, 2020 11:45 AM It was peak hour, just around lunch. Everyone wanted to get banking done today, it seemed, and the bank had been stuffed when the gunmen arrived, rushing out of two armored vans and into the bank. They moved quickly, efficiently. They were trained, not just the run of the mill thugs, and they had the equipment to back it up. They were all dressed in black body armors with blacks masks that left only their eyes free. It wasn't quite clear what had happened inside, but a single shot was fired, followed by a burst of gunfire, and then, the hostage situation began. Ten minutes later the police had barricaded the bank. All they knew was that if anyone entered, the gunmen would start shooting the hostages. No demands, nothing. It was a stalemate.

Justice Yeah, alright. Robin would do her best not to eat anything here. Aquaria? Sea Devil? She was... weird. But alright, Robin had seen weird stuff before, and it all kind of paled compared to everything else going on around them. "Alright, bad magic people do bad magic, good magic people handle it. Got it." She slammed her fist into her open palm for the effect and took a step forward. "I'm not gonna pretend I know a lot about magic yet, but tell me who the bad guys are and I'll stop them." Was she as confident as she made it sound like? Hell no. This was weird. So, so, weird. She had dealt with weird, but just about anything had an explanation, not just magic. Even her amulet had to have some form of explanation, even if it was magical and... all of this was just so weird.

GM "Hey! What the hell!?" With Alice moving forward at blinding speed, Billy couldn't really do anything to avoid her before she scooped him up, grabbing on to him and, well, holding without giving him much chance to get out. "Let go of me!" Try as he might, Billy wasn't nearly strong enough to try and get away, even as he struggled against Shooting Star's grip. Four shots fired. Three hit Alice in the back. She could feel it, but not much more than that. Whoever had sent these men hadn't anticipated just how tough she were.
-
I'd forgotten you had used them! That's a hit, and Billy can't possibly make that grapple atm, so... he's grappled! All four fire: 21 14 8 18 All but one hit, with you shielding Billy, and... your Impervious takes care of it. 17 - Shooting Star - 0HP - Unharmed 7 - Attackers - x4? - Unharmed

@RedSpine: In addition to Arrow's info above, you have managed to learn that Casanova really doesn't come from as rich or influential a family as he pretends. In fact, his family is outright poor, which he seems to hide for some reason. Casanova doesn't seem to be lacking any money himself, though.

A quick better description for current positions, as per EP's request: The heroes are gathered together in front of the city hall, which, as far as I've been able to see on the pictures and such in the books, have some distance from the nearest buildings. Captain Thunderwolf is currently above city hall, getting ready to attack you. Your attacks can reach him, his attacks can reach you, and if you have some form of super-movement that can make you fly or otherwise reach up the top of the building, you can get into melee. The people are fleeing to the nearest buildings. They're moving away from city hall, with the heroes between them and Captain Thunderwolf. To put a timer on it, they will be able to get to other buildings to (hopefully) safely hide in 5 turns. If you keep them safe for 5 turns, then they're out of the way. The werewolves are near buildings and in the dark around you. They're heading towards city hall, you and the civilians, coming in from all around you. That's a hit, rolling vs. DC22: 11 Captain Thunderwolf is blinded and deafened, give me an IC. After that, @Brown Dynamite is up 32 - Terrifica - 4HP - Unharmed 31 - Sureshock - 2HP - Unharmed 21 - Werewolves - x? - Unharmed 19 - Captain Thunderwolf - Blinded, Deafened (Fort save vs. DC22 to remove at Initiative 32, after Terrifica's action) 16 - Facsimile - 3HP - Unharmed 15 - Miracle Girl - 2HP - Unharmed 11 - Captain Thunderwolf - see above 4 - The Spectacle - Unharmed Turns until civilians are inside building: 5

Alright, got what I need then! Go @Avenger Assembled

@Cubismo Sebastian is not really well-liked around Claremont. He acts as if he's better than everyone else, especially those with less money. He has some mind manipulation powers of some kind, and then there's the stuff mentioned already in the opening post.

OOC for this. @Cubismo, @Nerdzul, @RedSpine, @Heritage

Nevermore II "Hey, Luke, can you meet outside the library? Bring Shift if you can find 'em?" "Zach, I'm looking into something and I could use some backup, how about bringing that armor of yours and meet me outside the library?" "Hey, Bow-for-brains, it's me. We met at that thing in the warehouse, remember? How would you like to kick a self-righteous prick's ass? Can you meet outside the library, I got a couple of other people coming?" Charlie looked down at his phone for a moment after the last call, then up at the sky. He had overheard Casanova and his New Young Freedom crew talking earlier today. They were gonna find someone to fight tonight, and, well, Charlie really didn't like their tone. He wasn't an angel by any means, neither were any of the friends he had just called, but... well, he wasn't going to be able to do much all on his own if they were really up to no good. Besides, Luke, Zach and Pol had met Casanova too. There was no way he wasn't up to some kind of trouble.

GM Claremont Academy October 15th, 2020 5:00 PM Sebastian Shields had not been happy about the events of the day that he had returned to Claremont after the summer. No, the way everyone had acted, like he was not better than him? It was simply not acceptable. He had been busy, since then. If the newly enrolled students wouldn't give him the respect that he deserved, then he would teach them why they should respect him. He would be better than all of them. All he needed was a team. Eddie Fell was the logical choice. Of course Sebastian needed Chump. Any good team needed some muscles, and Eddie was loyal. He wouldn't even need a nudge to help. Charlene Hart had been by Sebastian's side for a while. The two had often been seen together, at least ever since he had convinced her to go to prom with him. He had helped her, he had calmed her down. She was loyal, would never disobey him. Toxin got to be the second member of the team, her mere touch would be enough to stop anyone from messing with him. Sebastian quickly decided that he didn't need more boys for his team. No, Chump was quite enough. Melanie Cutter was a good choice. No powers, but she had extensive training and she was a killer with that bladed whip. He even liked her codename, Stinger, even if the redhead would probably challenge him a bit more than he would like, but that was fine. Sebastian would enjoy convincing her otherwise. Finally, the team needed some legitimacy, so of course he made friends with Cassie Dugan. Having the vice-principal's daughter on the team would open doors, and she filled in the much needed spot of a flier. She didn't really want to do it, but she did like the attention it would get her. Bluebird probably wouldn't cause too much trouble for Sebastian. So, his team had been set, and on October 1st, Sebastian made a big show out of presenting his group to everyone. Of course, no one else needed to do anything anymore. After all, they were the new big team at Claremont: The New Young Freedom. They had been busy in the few weeks after that, breaking curfew, fighting bad guys and punks. Not really any super villains or anything like that, and of course they did it in secret. Not like anyone would tell on them, that would just get others in trouble too. But... there were rumors. Maybe they had beaten up some kids for just causing a bit of trouble. Maybe the kids had not really done anything really bad, at least not something that deserved that? Maybe it was just a rumor. After all, they were heroes, right? Maybe not everyone trusted Casanova.

Pan slowly reached out for Eira's hand. If he could open the tight grip that her hands had clenched into, he would clench her as tight as he could. "You are Eira. That is all that matters." He looked to Micah, to the Ghost, to the dying girl and her father, and back to Eira. Ultimately, it was not really up to them, was it? He squeezed Eira's hand. "What do you want to do?"
-
"Yes, you did. It was quite a show." Pan glanced at Eira while he spoke, though his eyes quickly returned to Micah. "Sit still for a moment." He had been kneeling by Micah, but instead stood up and walked behind him while his friend got his bearings, the shirt and jacket of his uniform quickly returned as he finished walking around Micah. "No bumps or anything on the back. Can you stand? Can you fly back?" He looked over at Eira, grinning at her, before shifting the grin to Micah. "Or do you need some Pixie Dust?"
-
Pan smiled down at the little boy with his mouth full of strawberry-like things. "Maybe I am! Perhaps you could tell me what the sindcut is first, yes?" They were left alone with the children and Lon? Oh, the fun they could have here. After receiving his response, Pan threw some glowing Pixie Dust around, scattering the kids a bit from around him. He stared directly at Ashley, suddenly speaking Vietnamese, that language that he had learned about during some of Ashley's wonderfully creative curses. "Do we have a plan? Perhaps a mutiny is in order? I am sure I can convince Lon to look the other way."

Pan is going to try to read Paper's surface thoughts. Power check: 25 @Spacefurry give me a Will Power save vs. DC25 from my power check. There's subtle 2 on the mind reading, so the attempt won't be detected. Let's see what you're thinking

GM "Or something." Macedon glared at Luke and Charlie. "We're not gonna explore any caves here, kids. We stay put by the light, wait for the day, and then we leave. Sleep and rest, you're gonna need it tomorrow. There's nothing out there any of you need to worry about while I'm here." There was something in the darkness, as Muirne. Nothing she could see. But something she could feel. Something that called to her, beckoned her. Muirne alone could hear a tiny little voice from further inside the cave. "Help us." Outside the cave, the wind was starting to pick up, and sand was starting to whirl.

Nevermore II "A nice cave, huh?" Charlie looked around the dimly lit cave, shooting a grin in Callie's direction. "Almost feels like home." The others had some good questions about the place, mostly about the things in the dark and exploring the cave. Charlie's first impressions of most of them not being used to taking orders seem to stick, which, alright, that was fair. Not everyone was going to find someone like the Raven to train them, and questions should be asked, but... well... maybe they should find out about the first before starting to explore the deep cave? "Yeah, c'mon. What's the story here. This is the Painted Desert, what is it, some old magic monsters or something like that roaming around?"
