OOC for this. @Heritage: Here you go

GM May 6th, 2019 4:30 PM SIlberman's Northwest, Emerald City Just another day at Silberman's Northwest! Peace and quiet, with a good number of patrons visiting the store. They were spread pretty evenly around the floors, and all in all. It wasn't a busy day, by any means. Things were rather slow, but there were a constant buzz of talking and questions being asked. Outside the weather was cloudy. Not completely dark, but enough to block out the sun, and according to the weather report, it could begin to rain at any time. A man hurried into the store, carrying a rather large book. It was easily 16 inches tall, and almost as wide. It was thick. Like a phonebook. The cover was old and worn. It had once been black, but it was now greying, and the title all but impossible to make out. The man was bald, with a black, greying goatee. He wore round, thick glasses. You could almost believe he couldn't see through them. His jeans were torn at the knees, his grey sweater had probably seen better days. "Excuse me!" he loudly announced, holding up the book. "Where is the owner! I have a great find to show him! The find of the decade!"

Justice "That's just what I've been thinking! Only, I've really been thinking about it. Everywhere else seemed to have at least a local hero or two, but not Emerald." She felt herself blushing a bit at the Emerald Spider's compliment. Yeah, it was great. The city did need more heroes, didn't it? "It's kind of been my dream since I was a kid. Been doing my best, at least, but I haven't really run into anyone else until now." She paused and grimaced for a moment. "Well... I did run into a guy that called himself the Gas Man a while ago, but I wouldn't really call him a hero." Robin fell silent for a moment. She hadn't really done something like this before. It seemed kind of rude to assume that she would just know more about what was going on than the Emerald Spider. "So, uh, you've been doing this for a while now, right? Ever see anything like this before, with people just randomly disappearing?"

@Tiffany Korta How about that notice check at DC25?
-
Coming right up: 1d20+12 = 31
-
"No no no! Don't blow the place yet!" One shot, one bot down. C'mon, this should be easy, right? One shot, one killbot down, but there were tons of them all around them, right? Could they stop them all? Without blowing everything up at least? Wait, they were powering on from something, they weren't ready yet... and the transfer wasn't either. There had to be something around here that could be used to shut down the power. "C'mon, you'll blow up the entire city. What'll happen to your friend then?" Look around, find something, anything that she could try to point Jones at. Get him to smash something useful.
-
Right, they're all being powered, and there's the whole thing with the bad energy that we wanna shut down, so Justice's gonna do a Search to try and locate an energy source for the bots, and with some luck, it'll be related to the energy she want shut down. 1d20+8 = 20 Hopefully that'll turn up something useful. Also, how many killbots are we talking?
-
GM The leader was clearly starting to have doubts about the entire situation, even if the other gunmen weren't. "It's easy!" the gunman above, with the hostage, interrupted again. "Give us the money! Don't make it more complicated than it need to be!" He pushed the gun in his hand against the back of the gentleman's neck. "Shut up! Just shut up and put that gun away!" The leader was an explosion of anger. All of a sudden, he didn't even seem to care about Captain Cosmos, only having eyes for the other gunman. "Nobody gets hurt! That was the deal! This is going all to hell anyway, nothing working out like it was supposed to! The money's not coming in! They're not keeping the deal! You want to end up in prison the rest of your life? Is that it!?"

1 squid is gone, the remaining 4 are trying to get past you!
-
GM The squids seemed to be panicking as Aquaria moved towards the door and started attacking it. They moved, but hesitated, backing away as the odd energy of the eldritch energy burned into the doorway. All but one, at least. The moment that Aquaria kicked at the door, one of the squid moved through what appeared to be a secret entrance at the side of the room. It closed instantly behind it, while Aquaria's kick proved more than strong enough to break the door down. The four remaining squid scrambled, swimming to quickly try and make their way past the heroes and into the next room of the crashed spaceship, but Aquaria was blocking the door, and both the Sea Devil and Asad were in the way. The next room were dark, a hallway splitting into two, with options to go left or right, with the paths curcing slightly, probably moving around the circumference of the ship. It would be hard to make out any colors of the room, but it appeared to be made out of dull blues and greens.
-
Cultist 1 is fully visible, just trying to move away from the action, all the way over in the corner. Having a vampire jumping at you will do that.

"Amazing! Are theme parks truly like that? I must visit one some day!" Yes, yes! It had been very exciting! That huge screen! Pan never knew they came so big! And oh, the food! Oh the food! If Pan ever managed to return to Neverworld, he simply had to bring so much food with him! "And I had no idea they even made screens this big!" He was standing now, gesticulating wildly towards the huge screen before them. He was almost floating. Pixie Dust glowed from his feet, leaving a slight trail under him as he moved in front of his seat for a moment, before disappearing. He had to remember to stay grounded. No flying, not when out and about like this. If not for himself, then for the others, at least.
-
Oh no. Oh no no no. This was not good. The Fun Guy might be held in the binding bands, but the fungus was flowing freely from him, into the ground and threatening to escape into this world. "Oswald! Fire, now! All around the Fun Guy, if you would!" Pan was barking orders now. He did not like to do so, he was no leader, as far as he was concerned, but they needed to act first and stop this infection, before it spread to the world around them. But, they had other options, did they not? Others that could do something to help, if they would be so inclined? "Enough, Lorenzo! How about showing me what you can do, instead of just professing yourself as a mighty mage? Prove it, then! Show us what you can do about something like this! You know more about the fungus than any of us, after all!"
-
"Yep, no reason to hurt anyone, so let's try shutting everything down first aaaaand crap." Robin was stopped in her trail as the killbots around the room started making noises and telling them that the emergency security protocol was being activated. Great, just great. They'd taken too long. This really wasn't Robin's day for computers, but at least they hadn't blown up some kind of unstable energy. Yet. She needed that data. It might be what she needed to help Anna, after all. Study it in peace and quiet at some point. A quick look over at the progress bar confirmed that it was about halfway done, moving swiftly. A minute or so, maybe less. Grabbing the Justice Buster from the table where she had placed it, Robin quickly took aim at the nearest one. Take it down, stop them all. Give Jones a chance to let loose a bit too, maybe. "Hey, smashing robots are cool with me! Let loose, man!" She pulled the trigger, taking a shot.
-
Justice's gonna take a shot at the nearest killbot! Gotta keep the transfer safe before blowing everything up! Attack: 1d20+11 = 23 DC20 Toughness for the bot, if it hits. And if necessary: Initiative: 1d20+2 = 8 Justice needs some improved initiative...
-
Alright, that breaks a hole in the door, no need to roll. IC once @TheAbsurdist has made his sense motive and notice rolls.
-
GM The leader hesitated. It seemed that, despite everything, Buddy's words were getting through to him. "Hey!" The other gunman was shouting now, but not directed at Buddy. "Don't you dare! C'mon man! Get the super out of here, then we'll go!" "... you don't care about us. Just wanna get these people out of here. The rich and famous. What's the little man to you, hero?" Harsh words or not, he didn't sound entirely convinced.
-
GM Either the brutish cultist were too out of it from the beatings to react, or otherwise he simply didn't care for Ronin's attempt at scaring him. Still leaning heavily on the doorframe, he took the blast of splinters head on. For a moment, he seemed like he would tumble and fall over, then he let out a loud groan, like he was about to stand up properly again. His robe was torn at the front from the blast, splinters and shrapnel stuck in his chest, but otherwise, he seemed none the worse for wear. "God provides..." he groaned, though he still seemed ready to topple if hit with a properly strong attack.

Cultist 2: Intimidate vs. Intimidate: 14 saved And that is indeed a hit! TOU save: 22 The cultist is still standing! Somehow! @Avenger Assembled you're up!
-
GM The punch was solid, connecting directly with the back of the large cultist's head. He made a weird sound, a mix between a gasp and a croak, and seemed to stumble, despite doing his best to still block the doorway, even as he raised hand to catch doorframe to support his weight. No matter how strong he was, it seemed that he had his limits, and the repeated hits were taking their toll. The woman escaped Strix's grasp once more, a wicked smile starting to play over her lips, even as her companions began to fall.
-
That's a hit on Cultist 2 TOU vs. DC23, and with 4 bruises: 11 Cultist 2 is staggered and dazed. Everyone: Notice DC25 check, if you make it, read the spoiler: @Supercape is up, followed by @Avenger Assembled Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is blocking the doorway into the room, having just been punched by Liam from behind. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Ronin. Wadjet is in the hallway, next to the big cultist, learning that he's knife proof. Lady Horus and Liam is in the room behind Cultist 2. Mr. Strix is a bit further into the small room, with Cultist 1 having retreated to the corner the furthest away from Lady Horus. 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 2HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Bruise (x4), Dazed, Staggered 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 2HP 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP

GM The leader of the gunmen paused for a moment, as did the man holding the hostage. The leader almost seemed like he wanted to say something, he certainly seemed like the most reasonable of the gunmen, at least, but then the man with the hostage shouted: "Money! Its all about money, big guy!" He didn't really seem bigger now. It must've been a trick of the light or something like that. "There's an easy solution." The leader of the gunmen was regaining his composure, just a bit. "You leave, and nobody gets hurt. Go, fly away. Do whatever you super types do. Tell the people outside to stay away, and nobody gets hurt. Money's still ticking in."
-
Sense motive from Gunman leader: 30 From guy holding hostage: 17 No worries, good luck with handling the busy.

"Why, yes, you know things that I do not, just as I know things that you do not." Pan spoke in something of a sing-song voice here. "But, I suppose that it was too much to hope that someone who had failed as much as you in the first place would know anything about the fungus that you claimed to study." Fine then, no need to waste more time with Lorenzo, if he was not about to be any help. His feet lifting from the ground, he quickly moved through the air towards Oswald, who at least seemed to be back to normal, and the Fun Guy, who did not seem like he was having any kind of fun, and who seemed to be arguing with himself. Curious. Not something you saw happen often. A man at war with himself, telling them not to listen to either of his sides, it seemed. He seemed in agony, but Pan could do little against that. All he could do for now was to restrain him, or at least attempt to. A wave of his hand, and pixie dust glittered into existence around the Fun Guy, quickly closing in to try and restrain his movements. "One at a time, please. What does it want? And what does he want?"
