Rebellion The strange bird man seemed shocked at suddenly appearing. So he had not planned for being seen. Another intruder, then. Or perhaps a secret guard? Elliot could not be sure, either way. And if he was an intruder, that seemed shocked at suddenly becoming visible, then would Elliot become visible inside the room too? Was the potential gain of finding out something incredibly vague worth that risk? Of course it was. His form still blending in with the surroundings, Rebellion steeled himself as he took a step inside, ready to fight if it came to that... and then he didn't appear. Interesting. Whatever had caused the other to appear, it did not seem to affect Elliot's ability to change his appearance at all. The other was moving around, looking through the trash. Probably not an intruder, then. Or maybe just an overly zealous member of the cleaning crew. Elliot made a different decision. Anything that could trigger and alarm, he had to try to find it. Then take it out.

GM Screech moved around the room. No alarms were sounded, at least not yet, but he probably had little time. The waste paper bin had some scraps, pieces of paper ripped to shreds, mostly by hand. Most of it seemed to be random bits and pieces. Nothing of consequence. There were two pieces of paper that were exciting, however. Ripped clean down the middle, it was a printout of an email. Put together, it spelled out: Mr. Stark, ONCE again, here is your username and password to the system. Please try to remember them this time: Username: Elysium/Teach_Stark Password: Tr1T0R3m3mb3r Whatever other qualities Mr. Stark had, he did not seem an expert at cyber security, at least.

Right, missed that. Bullets are penetrating 5, so lowered to 7, with rank 9 attacks. Go ahead and roll the saves before my post.

GM "We don't got a moment, hero." The leader of the gunmen was rubbing his shoulder, steadying himself against a wall. "Any chance of giving me a lift outta this hole, at least?" He was obviously still in pain from the hit that Captain Cosmos had delivered with his cosmic might, but at least the pain seemed to have cleared his mind somewhat. Whether or not Captain Cosmos complied with the request, the man continued after his response. "We're not angels by any stretch of the imagination, but we're not killers. We've done wrong, plenty of work for hire. Strong arming, burglary, whatever. Last year, there was an accident. A guy got killed. Someone here got the goods on it, and blackmailed us into coming here tonight. Nothing brings publicity to an event like this like a hostage crisis, right?" He stopped there, waiting to see if the hero could connect the dots on his own.

GM The mouse was at first stiff and almost paralyzed to when Nicole reached out for it and took it in her hand, before sudddenly warming up and starting to accept her. It was just a small delay, but enough to be noticeable. Then it practically started to lean into her touch, obviously enjoying the affection. "Repair and improve," Rita stated, her arms crossed as she looked briefly over her shoulder at one of the researchers, before turning her full attention back to Nicole and Jerry. "Since we're already putting the nanos in there, we can just as well use them for improvements. So yeah, I think you're spot on. Unfortunately, its not quite stable yet. These guys," she gestured to the mice, " are the lucky ones.We're still ways away from moving up to anything bigger than mice. Plus, the bigger the patient, the more nanos we'll need."

GM Oz was certainly right. These were not ordinary poachers in any way. Rifles raised, the two near him remained silent as they fired at him once more, undeterred by the previous green lightning and the force field that protected him. The weapons remained loud. Noisy. If this had been the real world, their weapons would have echoed for miles. As it was, this little world inside the painting was not quite as big. Another bullet bounced off William's hide, and with a loud *OINK!*, the pig decided to take action. While Charlemagne shouted for it to come back and flee, the pig instead charged straight at the poacher that had been shooting at it... though sadly passing by him, as he sidestepped. With another annoyed *OINK!*, William turned back, getting ready to charge again.
-
Figured! Hunter 1 and Hunter 2 are gonna keep shooting at Oz, force field or not, Hunter 3 goes for the pig again, in order: 23 22 33 And that a bunch of hits! Another two DC24 saves for you And TOU for William: 28 Now, William is getting pissed and joins the battle! Charging at Hunter 3, and attacking: 9, and that's a miss. Hunter 1 - Staggered Hunter 2 - Unharmed Hunter 3 - Unharmed Oz - 1HP - Bruised x1, Dazed (ends on your turn) Charlemagne - Unharmed William the Pig - Unharmed

GM Pacer might be zipping around faster than the eye could follow, but she wasn't unnoticed. Others were, like her, moving around. Some just stood still, watching and following her movements across the area. The glowing ball of black light seemed to follow her, quickly floating around her, starting to take a shape that mimicked Pacer's. The rhino man just grunted in acknowledgement of Pacer's speed, while the Squid's glow grew more intense as it watched her. With a loud grunt, the Rhino man set into speed. It was not nimble and elegant like Pacer, but seemed to move with an almost thundering speed, each step it took pounding through the area. It kept pace with Pacer, even if she tried to build up speed. Soon, they were joined by others. The ball of black light seemed to move in almost a dance, the rainbow of color appearing as an unending streak. They followed her, creating a blur of movement for any onlookers, until finally, the rhino man stopped and spoke. "I am Kasi of the Endless Plains. Well met, racers." The ball of black light introduced itself with a mental message. It was more of an image than a sound, something that resembled a black hole, only with lightning sparking through it. The rainbow were silent, flickering around them.

(5-12) (Awesome Size) - Damaged x3 Zenith's Small Dome - Toughness 10, Def ? (coming later) - Undamaged Fog/Rainclouds around the building, courtesy of Thunderbird The cannonball that didn't break the dome was destroyed, the other is now inside the dome, not too far from the people near the entrance, with pirates appearing from it. The second dome is over it. The defense system has been activated: 4 Ranged Stun 9 cannons with +7 to hit. Current situation, to summarize: The institute is currently surrounded by a Toughness 10 dome, which the teens can pass or shoot through without harm. Thunderbird and Veronica Danger are outside, with fog and rain clouds giving them some cover. Forever Boy has reached Ship A, flying near it. White Lioness is approaching Ship A. Salvo has moved further inside the complex to try to figure out the Horologium. The flying Sky-Pirate ships are approaching from above. Ship A is about 1000 feet away at this point, and Ship B about 1500 feet away at this point, but approaching rapidly. Both are about 200 feet above ground. A group of 5 pirates have appeared from a glowing light from the cannonball that managed to break through the dome. Ms. Thursday is in melee with 2 pirates of the Pirates inside a smaller dome, with 3 other pirates outside it, and Zenith on top of it. They're within the fog/raincloud cover that Thunderbird has created. @Tiffany Korta, @KnightDisciple, you're up
-
GM After Astrid's strike, the pirates begun to scatter. Zenith's dome appeared atop them in a the blink of an eye, but the pirates were just as fast. Or at least some of them were. While three of the pirates managed to move outside the dome as it formed, the last two, including the one that Astrid had stuck, were still inside it, together with Astrid... and the still glowing cannonball on the ground. At the same time, white, cheramic cannons began to appear from different placements across the walls of the building. The defense systems that Veronica had requested had activated.

Pirates ref saves: 23 25 13 16 19 @TheAbsurdist, You get two of them, make an IC and I'll get their reaction up.
-
GM Whatever Oz was trying, the poacher rolled to the side, avoiding his gaze and raising his rifle. He pulled the trigger, letting loose a loud BANG!, a high powered bullet being sent flying directly for the wizard. And then, before he could react, Oz would hear additional BANG!, BANG! Two more rifles fired. Two other poachers untangling themselves from bushes and trees near them, each clad like the first, wielding the same type of rifle. Another hit at Oz... and a bullet fired towards William. The pig whined loudly, while Charlemagne did his best to try and steer it towards the portal to his home that they had entered from.
-
First, let's try for the gun: Reflex save: 26 Gun is not transformed! Opposed Stealth Checks: 27 26 Surprise attack! Seems the hunter was NOT alone! Notice from William and Charlemagne: 34, 29 Hunter 1 and 2 tries to shoot at Oz, who is distracted (even if Uncanny dodge would've allowed Oz to avoid the surprise attack): 17 27 2 hits, make 2 DC24 TOU saves. Hunter 3 shoots at William: 17 A miss! Hunter 1 - Staggered Hunter 2 - Unharmed Hunter 3 - Unharmed Oz - 1HP - Unharmed Charlemagne - Unharmed William the Pig - Unharmed

ic SOPHie's Choice : Shock to the System
RocketLord replied to Tiffany Korta's topic in The Realms Beyond
A tough world, with no super powers? Interesting. It might be fun to see such a world. Yes, of course he would go. It was an adventure! A journey into mystery! A challenge of the unknown! Of course he would be going! Feet lifting from the ground, Pan quickly flew inside in a glimmer of glowing dust. He didn't really feel like worrying about might happen, unlike Astrid. "To adventure, then!" Why worry? They would deal with what were about to happen when it would happen. It was another world, one that only Dana knew about, and he was just too excited about the thought of going somewhere brand new. -
GM The duo of heroes were being watched. Whether they realized it or not, they had been followed for a while now, even as they chatted among themselves. The large figure had so far proven surprisingly adept at staying out of sight, creeping along the shadows. It was surprisingly silent as well, given its stature, but it was growing restless. While it had previously been content to keep some distance, it was now moving faster, slowly closing the gap between itself and the two heroes. Still, it made no sound, and seemed to do its best to stay out of sight. It seemed to know the value of a sneak attack. The only question was if the heroes would notice it in time or not.
-
Can I get another notice check, to see if you notice that they're being followed? DC25. And Initiative roll, while we're at it.

Will be gone Thursday and Friday, probably busy during the weekend as usual.

Justice Robin thought about it for a moment. "Y'know, I'm not really sure if the Gas Man was actually a bad guy. Like, he wasn't a good guy at all. Kind of a mercenary I guess? Like the kind of guy that swoops in and is just in it for the money, and you think he might have a hidden heart of gold, but really, he's just a jerk who's in it for the money?" Alright, rambling again, but Robin just couldn't help it. This was too exciting! This was the Emerald Spider after all! And they were doing a team up! This was too awesome! The point about the few heroes and running into the same villains were pretty good, though. Why didn't they do that? Or just run into more heroes, for that matter? Robin knew that there were some out there, but she hadn't met a whole lot yet. It was kind of weird? Maybe she should suggest setting up some kind of network, some way to get in touch with each other if necessary, but it felt kind of weird? Also, this was the Emerald Spider! She was awesome, and she was being nice, but it wasn't like she'd actually need Robin's help, right?

GM Almost as if on cue, the noise of something being thrown around started to sound from outside the theater. Raised voices, heavy objects, people falling. Someone was shouting, quite loudly at that. One of the voices seemed to almost echo, like multiple voices spoke the same words at once, with only a slight delay. It was difficult to make out the words, but they sounded quite upset, shouting about a beast to be slain and strange surroundings. There was a brief pause, then another yell, then a loud crash as the popcorn machine came flying in through the doors to the theater.
-
Forever Boy It made sense, one could suppose. To be able to do the things that they could do, and yet do nothing? That would be an awful waste. And Pan had seen the difference that the Capes could do, on more than one world. Still, what he wanted to do once he finished his time at Claremont? It was a bit of a tricky question, was it not? He did not have the same ties here as many of his classmates, and his stay was only supposed to be temporary in the first place, a way to keep him under watch, while he was in this world. Pan was uncharacteristically silent as he chewed his popcorn, before finally replying. "Why, I suppose I will go on another adventure then, unless I manage to find my way home, somehow." His previously somber expression split into his usual grin again. "There is a whole wide world here to explore! So many things to see and do! How could I ever refuse such a call to adventure?" A slight pause. Pan was nothing if not dramatic, after all. "Besides, Freedom City cannot be the only place in this world in need for heroes."
-
@Zeitgeist Blue: Both succeed. I'll put something in my next IC about what happens. @TheAbsurdist: Go ahead with the IC for that, but remember that Astrid is up close with the pirates.

Nothing to see here!

GM Rita was clearly enjoying this, a huge smile plastered over her lips. "You're damn right it is. See why we gotta be careful about people getting wind of all this before we're ready?" She gave a small wave to the mouse as Nicole moved on. Others in the room were watching them, while still doing their best to keep their eyes on their own work, too. Still, it seemed Nicole's presence brought some interest. "Well, we use a very expensive and precise 3D printer for creating the nanomachines, but these tools are something else. A test, I guess you could call it." Rita moved back towards the mice, opened a cage and took one out, cooing over it and gently stroking it while sitting it down, then nodded to one of the other researchers, who turned to his computer and entered some commands. "C'mon, Jerry. Show the kid what you can do." The mouse looked around, sniffing at the air. Slowly, it moved forward, then reach for one of the tools, a small screwdriver, with its paws and took it up. Using both paws, it moved the screwdriver towards a tiny nearby screw, then slowly started screwing it into the hole it was sitting in. Rita grinned, waiting for Nicole's reaction.

Let's get a notice check.

It's cool, hope it gets better soon. Tricia Thorne seems to be fiddling with *something*, while she is trying to make her way out the back of the room.
