Spaceman Parker doesn't have time to respond to Michael, before he is by the side of the officer, taking the hits as the creatures cut into him. He feels his blood flowing, but he can take it. He has to take it. Anyone he can protect, he has to protect. He feels the officer falling by Michael. They were too slow. Parker's eyes go wide as he feels him falling, feels Lawrence and Velocity move around, feels everyone fighting. Too many. There's just too many of these robots all around, punching down, overwhelming them. And then, Lawrence says a single word that causes a shiver to run up Parker's spine: Communion. They had learned about them at Claremont, about what it was, about what they could do, and this is much too early for them to appear. Someone is majorly screwing with time, and why? To get to Lawrence? Putting everyone here in danger? Small bubbles of intense black begin to rise from Parker's body as he throws himself to the side, away from the Communion Drone that is attacking him. He reaches out, feeling everyone around him, getting into the best position to get to as many as he can at once. Do the best he can. The intensity and size of the bubbles begin to vary, some much larger, some smaller, parts of Parker's ripped clothes and his body looking like they are starting to dissolve into the black. And then he reaches out, reaching out for everyone he can at once, grabbing hold of every single drone within reach that he can. Around him, 5 drones are hit by a punch. The ones that don't break from the initial strikes are pulled down, being smashed into the ground with enough force to break them. Spaceman stares around. How many more are there? He can't reach more from here, but it takes too much focus to keep this going to fly fast or shift his own distance too much at once... "I can't fly as fast while I keep this up! I need someone to get me to the center of as many of these things as possible!"

I was actually wrong, it's a 40 ft. radius, not 20. How many can I get with that? Anyway, gonna move slightly to get as many as I can within the 40 ft. radius, then spend 1HP to stunt off the Space Movement array for this power: Area Strength 8 Adds (Extras: Area [Targeted Burst] 8, Selective 8; Flaws: Distracting) to Strength (40 ft. radius) {8/10} (Descriptors: Reach Everything) And I'd like to set Personal Space Control Array to Impervious Toughness/Immovability and Space Control Array to Elongation/Enhanced Strength. And then Parker is going to punch every bad guy he can reach at once. If they're minions, I'd like to take 10 to hit them with 18, which is a DC23 TOU save for everyone he hits, and then try to establish a grapple on everyone that I hit: 37

The STORMCROW Ninja. There's ninjas in the crowd, above them, who knows where else? Charlie had fought his fair share the last time he was in Japan, during the world tour with the Raven. The Ushers had hired some local clan to help them, and they had beat up a lot of them, but that couldn't be why they were here. It wouldn't make any sense... Doesn't matter right now. He can find out the why later. "You see them, right?" he asks Leon and Neko, while he reaches into his reinforced backpack, into the secret room with his uniform. "We need to keep everyone safe, get the crowds out of here. Seems like they're going for the scene, maybe we can get them up there and keep them contained. Cover for me a sec while I get changed."
-
Charlie: 28 Ninjas: 17 28 - Stormcrow - 7HP - Unharmed 24 - Paper - 4HP - Unharmed 23 - Multi-Girl Dupe - Unharmed 17 - Ninjas - Unharmed, many of them 17 - Multi-Girl - 2HP - Unharmed 9 - Neko - 2HP - Unharmed So, there is a so far unknown number of ninjas. There's some in the rafters, there's a lot appearing in the crowds. We'll see how many there are as the fight goes on. The crowds of regular people can be an issue both with people seeing you out of costume and getting in the way, the ninjas are not above hiding behind them! I'll spend my turn getting Charlie suited up, which means @Spacefurry is next

Only Monsters Left Alive (OOC)
RocketLord replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in Rivers, Lakes and Oceans
Notice: 20 Parker also has this super sense: Super-Senses 8 (Distance Sense, Spatial Awareness [Sense Type: Mental, Extras: Accurate, Acute, Extended 2 [Range Increment x100], Radius, Ranged]) [8PP] (Descriptors: Spatial Senses, Enhanced Senses, Mutation, Space/Spatial, Z-Space) which should basically make him able to feel where everything around him. -
ic Only Monsters Left Alive (IC, open)
RocketLord replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in Rivers, Lakes and Oceans
Spaceman "Thank you, but I'll be fine," Parker says when Michael tries to hand him the pill. "I don't get motion sickness." He doesn't comment on the rest. He can do this. He has to do this. He watches the others as they pass through the writhing mass that is the portal and... Vueriz is there too. Parker looks down at her. They all have issues going through this portal, it is alien to all of them, even her, and... He can do this. He has to. "C'mon," he says, offering her his hand. "We can do this." Stepping through the portal, his senses are immediately bombarded with a cacophony of distances and entrances and exits and everything all around them and... Then he's on the other side. He did not get motion sickness. He knew exactly where everything was, but the moment he steps through and feels all the non-euclidian shapes and distances around them. "Are you alright?" he asks Vueriz, as he lets go of her hand. He doesn't like what Sea Devil is saying about what they might see here... -
@Thevshi how many bad guys are within a 20 foot radius of Spaceman?

Spaceman Spaceman maintains his focus, letting the bursts of solar radiation rain down over Eclipse while the others finally take down the dragon. With Torpedo Lass throwing the blast, he lets go, the blasts of radiation disappearing seconds before the the sphere of energy strikes Eclipse. He looks over his shoulder at Rot, allowing himself the moment to look at her as he listens to her mad cackling. She'll hopefully deal with the growing abyss, since she broke it in the first place, and then, maybe, she will be the next problem, but for now, he turns back to the fight. They need to deal with Eclipse first. As La Puma Negra strikes, slashing and knocking Eclipse down, Parker sees his moment. Decreasing the distance inside his body, he goes solid once more, pushing everything towards strength, then instantly decreases the distance between himself and Eclipse to land heavily on top of her. Striking her into the ground with enough force to crack it, Spaceman quickly opens his fist and grabs hold, pulling Eclipse up and out of the ground, grabbing hold around her and pulling her back up, twisting her around in front of him, quickly moving his arms under her armpits, with his hands behind her head, holding her in place. "No, he won't. Not this time. This time I'm ready for that," Parker says calmly, as he holds her tight, before shouting. "Torpedo Lass! I got her! Hit her with everything you got!"
-
I'm gonna hold Eclipse with the grapple so Torpedo Lass and Puma can hit her, since she's now Bound and Helpless with an effective Defense of 5, in addition to you getting +4 to hit and being able to coup de grace if you want to! IC coming tomorrow
-
Alright, gonna switch away from the stunt and back to elongation and super-strength, since her being prone means that I'd take a penalty to hit otherwise and Personal Space Control Array to Super-Strength. Power Attack Maneuvre for +2DC/-2ATK, and rolling to punch her: 14 That should hit, as confirmed by Poncho, meaning a DC25 TOU save. Gonna try to establish a grapple if she's still standing: 52 And depending how that goes, I might want to do something more.
-
Reflex Save: 14, but Evasion 2, so still rolling Toughness vs. the lower of the two. TOU save: 23

GHOST Now this is some interesting tech. It's familiar enough to Casper that he can actually work it (thankfully its not some kind of bio-tech or anything like that, then he would have no idea what to do aside from just rip the reactor out of the sockets...), he just need to figure out where everything goes. Casper has no idea what Patriot is saying or what language it is, but even without looking over his shoulder, he's sure that she's threatening them, which... fair enough. Glancing over his shoulder, he sees the grenade. That's... not optimal. Suicide missions are really not his thing. So, what can he do, now that he's getting into the generator? Propulsion? That's gotta go. Can't let these guys get closer to the Earth. Weapons? Oh yeah. No guns, no fun, and there's a few Praetorians out there. The lifts? He'll save that for later. "Hey, gang? Ghost here," he speaks into his communicator. Both the League and the Praetorians should be looped in there, right? "I'm at the ship's generator with Patriot. Fun little thing. Real interesting. Anyway, I'm gonna shut down the weapon and propulsion systems now, if anybody wanna make some badass boasts and tell them that bad space invaders don't get to go anywhere in their big spaceship. Oh, right, and you can tell them that if they keep misbehaving I'll pull the generator out into space." Reaching in, Ghost shuts it down. And then... no weapons. No propulsion.
-
Standard action to try to disable the weapon systems and propulsion with Disable Device for now: 32
-
I'd like to spend a move action examining the generator with Knowledge [Technology] to figure out how I can shut down parts of the things that it powers with Disable Device. Weapons, propulsion, hangar bay gates and such are a priority, but anything else I can find is good too. Rolling 18, and I'll spend a Hero Point to reroll that: 31

ARCHER II Another freaking super drug. Ever since that whoe affair with Cortex and his drugs, it had felt like a new drug that would give people powers or kill them pops out every other week, and people are just desperate enough that it keeps working. Sitting on a rooftop with his Sky-Bike parked besides him, Connor surveils the scene below. The big thug seems like the seller. The woman is probably on the drug and is gonna burn up any moment. If he shouts or comes running for them, they'll run, and then he'll have to chase them. He hates having to chase pushers. Instead, he selects two arrows, sticking them to certain tips and takes aim, then let's the two arrows armed with rapidly expanding and hardening foam fly towards the thug.
-
Gonna fire an Autofire Snare at the thug, because screw that guy: 29 DC16 Reflex Save vs. Snare and up to +3DC from the Autofire.
-
ARCHER II Freaking super people... the guy with the golden aura is a pin cushion by now, and somehow, he's still standing. What's it take to bring him down? The sword guy seems to be doing fine with the woman, Connor can alway find out why he's here later, but right now... Stepping out from behind the cover, he sends more arrows flying against the man with the golden aura, while he shouts "He, sword guy! Out of the way!" before moving back around the corner again.
-
Why fix what ain't broke? Archer attacks Peter with Autofire Standard Arrows again: 29 DC21 TOU + up to +3DC for every 2 above defense with Autofire He steps around the corner, fires, shouts to Sever and then moves back again.

GM The purple armored man stares at Gamma Buzz for a moment, before dismissing him, turning to Timeout and Spaceman instead. "You can call me Doctor Deviation, and what I am expecting, hero, is an army, but if I am to have one, then I will first need to ensure that... that doesn't happen." He motions towards the woman that was a girl not too long ago. She looks apprehensive. "Rapid aging is not ideal in a soldier. And free will? No, that is a defect that I cannot tolerate." The voice is full of drama, as he speaks, almost like he is putting on a show. And then he gets another look at Gamma Buzz and pauses. "You are quite the interesting specimen, are you not?" the purple armored man asks, looking at Gamma Buzz. "What are you?"
-
Spaceman There's something about this whole situation, a sense of deja vu that Parker can't quite place. "Buzz, I think you should calm down a bit." He can't place it. Something about the man just gives him an instinctive feeling of dread. He can't let it decide what he'll do. It's just a feeling. "And who are you?" he calls out, once Lawrence has asked his question. Maybe that will help. Probably not.
-
Everyone discovered the ninjas, so... let's see som initiative rolls!
-
GM The crowd continues to go wild at Multiplicty's show. Depending on the songs, they're shouting, dancing, chanting or singing along to the songs. Whatever Bernie and the band had imagined for their first international trip, they are clearly a hit. But even then, not everything is alright. Neko is the first to pick it up. Above, near the roof that she hid with her illusions, dark shapes are sneaking around on the rafters, moving towards the scene. From their positions, Leon and Charlie spots the same, and then Neko sees the dark shapes moving through the crowds. Ninjas. And lots of them. All heading towards the scene. Finally, Bernadette sees the ninjas moving towards her from the rafters... It is just a matter of time before they all strike.
-
The STORMCROW "Figures that'd be how you'd get a girl," Charlie had replied with his usual grin, before Neko joined them. "She had to set up a whole scheme to make you realize what was in front of you." "Hey Neko," he responds, after having smiled at their kiss. "Your setup was great, and Bernie and the band's doing great as always." Sure, everything's going fine. It's good, it's great. So why does Charlie have this nagging feeling that something's off?
-
GM Macedon hesitates a bit as the group begins to set up their tents. "Hold on a moment, kids. Ms. O'Connell got a good point here." She points towards the rock outcrop that Bernadette had pointed out. It seems to be conected to a larger mesa.. "Keep an eye on your surroundings and the weather. Can you feel the wind and see all the sand? If we set up right here, then we'll get blown down if we're unlucky. So let's give that outcrop a look, yeah?" As the group approaches, the outcrop seems like it leads into a cave.
-
GM The lion looks Haven. He towers above the silver skinned humanoid, and is quite terrifying to behold. But as Haven would probably guess, given his knowledge of certain other stories, it's voice is small and meek. "I... I don't know anything... d-don't serve that here..." He looks around nervously. He is very obviously lying.
