Bernadette will try an untrained diplomacy check, but only gets a 12 (or a 16 if Attractive applies).

Multi-Girl Bernadette regarded Maestro as he turned to fully face her and began speaking in a soft, rather melodic voice that seemed to gently wash over everything. The redhead felt a slight reaction to Maestro's words, as if she should not listen to them. But then…she felt much calmer, more relaxed. What was wrong with listening to what the supervillain had to say. Although she saw Michael get sent flying by some sort of attack from the only member of the punk band still conscious, the Irish teen and her duplicates had relaxed and were no longer in an aggressive stance. Bernadette looked over at Maestro as she responded. "Well, there could be students, faculty an' other staff in the buildin'." She replied calmly. "If I just let ya tear it down, they could get hurt." "There must be another way than tearin' apart tha buildin' ta get at what ya want? What is it that ya left here?" She then asked.

Multi-Girl Bernadette regarded Leon as he suggested a movie and commented about what Charlie might want to watch. "Either o' those are horror movies, which is the genre we were leanin' toward tonight." The redhead responded before the security system let them know Neko had arrived and Vik was returning from her shopping trip. "I do have duplicates that could have gotten tha door. An' isn' as if Vik doesn' live here." Bernadette called out as Leon started off to greet the pair. The redhead just grinned slightly as he left, aware there were likely other reasons he was eager to greet Neko at the door. As Charlie appeared, denying he would ever suggest Jumper, the Irish teen gave him a warm grin. "Well, part o' the fun is ta have a bad movie ta make fun of." She replied. "But, probably more fun when the movie doesn' really take itself seriously either." With a snap of her fingers, Bernadette dismissed her two duplicates that had finished placing the additional sofa. "Well, I think things are ready here. Snacks are all ready, along with water, an' Vik is back with other drinks. So, I believe we are all set." She said as she came up to hug Charlie. "Just need everyone ta arrive."

@Dracostern Not much that would seem to be of much use in dealing with all these enemies around. But Iris does spot the mysterious black robed figure on a nearby rooftop. With Martinet clearing her daze, @Tiffany Korta Starshine is up!
-
Will have this Elite Omegadrone be one of the one's with a bruise. It fails its Will save with a 15, so it picks up another bruise and is dazed.
-
GM As several of the Omegadrones swarmed around the giant Neko had summoned. While it was hit several times, on one of the attacks seemed to have any effect, but one that was hardly slowed the giant down. Starshine took a hit from one of the Omegadrones, injuring her, but not putting her out of the fight yet. While all of this was going on, a figure in a tattered black robe had appeared on the roof of a nearby building, watching the chaotic scene below impassively. On the street below, El Gato slashed the red Omegadrone that had attacked her, dropping it easily. But just as she did so, she had to dodge away from the attack of one of the black armored Omegadrones, flipping away from the attacker and landing on the hood of a damaged car. Kismet fired another burst from her assault rifle, dropping another Omegadrone, while more of the black armored ones continued to press the attack. One dove down to the ground where Bruiser was just clearing his head after being struck by the Annihilist, trying to impale him with its forcepike. The musclebound member of Force Ops barely managed to roll to the side to avoid the attack. Two of the black armored Omegadrones joined in the attacks on Neko’s summoned giant, both flying up to stab the giant. The one that had previously hit Daniel fired an energy blast at the teen once more, slamming into his forcefield. The last managed to regain its bearings, after having been knocked to the ground by Bernadette.

Timeout Gamma Buzz landed near the speeding four-armed alien and delivered a powerful punch. The attack caught the alien off-guard and connected solidly with the side of the alien’s chin. The alien was knocked off its feet and sent flying, tumbling a few times across the grass before it came to a stop unconscious. It lay on the ground for a brief moment, before it faded away. But as one went down, another of the time shades went into action, a fully metallic humanoid cyborg that appeared vaguely female leapt into a portal that tore open in the air next to it. At the same moment, a similar portal appeared behind Gamma Buzz and the cyborg dropped out of it, slashing at the teen hero with a plasma blade that extended out of the wrist of its right arm. The blade cut across Baz's back, sending the teen flying forward a short distance to land in a dazed heap. Meanwhile the cyborg disappeared through another portal that opened just beneath it before it landed on the ground and it was then gone. Over at the center of the park, Lawrence stepped out from behind Paradigm as he raised his hands once again, sending another pulse of temporal energy that quickly spread across the park and beyond. As before dozens of newly arrived communion drones were struck by the temporal energy as their appearance reverted back to their normal form as time reversed what had been done to them. Three additional members of the Praetroians were returned to their original state as well. Then another of the times shades went into action, the other cyborg, a male humanoid with two cybernetic arms, that leapt into the air and landed in front of Sever. The humanoid alien was armed with a sword as well, and swung his blade at the teen hero, but Sever was able to bring up his blade to block the attack with a loud *CLANG* as the alien took a step back and went into a guard stance.

He fails the save with a 17, I am going to treat all the time shades as minions, so, that will take him out! That brings up Rux, who will teleport over near Gamma and attack, hitting with a 24, so DC 25 toughness save @Supercape Then Rux teleports away. Timeout will unleash the power he stunted last time again. Using Extra effort for +2 to the Transform. He gets a 22 on his attack roll, which will hit the remaining Praetorians still communionized (plus any other communion drones in the area). Not going to bother with the DC 22 save for the drones, will just say the majority are turned back to their original state: Dragonid: 8 Moon-Moth: 23 Kharg: 24 Spectra: 20 Seresk: 12 Well, almost all of them. This brings up another time shade, Sullek will move over to attack Sever, missing with a 13 @Kaede Kimura this brings up Blue Bolt, who is on round two of her jury-rigging a way to get at the robed bad guy (while all hell is breaking lose around her)
-
Mutli-Girl fails the save with a 15. According to UP, you have to fail by 10 or more to not take any hostile action (unless attacked). But, it does make Calm a bit nerfed compared to others, so I will role play with it some and have her attitude changing to indifferent have her stop attacking for the moment.

NPC/Lynn Lynn seemed more than willing to remain more in the background (so to speak) once the introductions were done and Jack and Alden began talking about being new to Freedom City. She walked along the opposite side of Jack from Alden, following along with their conversation. But when Jack mentioned missing home sometimes, the blonde girl seemed to stiffen as she looked away from the two for a moment. As the trio came to one of the galleries, she had focused back ahead of them. Inside, the trio found a small crowd inside a large open room from which there were a few doors leading to side rooms. The faint sound of music could be heard over the various conversations of the various groups spaced throughout the room. A number of paintings were displayed on the walls of the room, and up along the back wall of the room was a large table set up with various platters of food. When Alden mentioned he would be attending Claremont Academy in the fall, Lynn turned to focus on him, for a moment seeming as if she were considering something. "I will be attending Claremont in the fall as well."
-
They are minions as well, so he would just take a bruise (that is how I have always read the minion rules is the worst result for a failure is only when an heroic character attacks the minion).
-
So, with Justicar Vor'an clearing his daze, it is Moon-Moth's turn! @Exaccus

GM The tall thin alien did not hesitate at Galvanic's proposal, looking over at one of the frightened bridge crew. "Divert some auxiliary power to internal comms." Once that was completed, Waymaker toggled a switch on a panel next to him. "Prince Dovox has been defeated. All forces are to immediately cease hostilities with the Praetorians and Terrans and surrender." Waymaker deactivated the comms again and then took a step forward to lay down his staff in front of Galvanic. Standing back upright, he took several steps back from his staff.

Forgot to add, giving everyone a HP for this latest set back/complication. Current HPs are: Gamma Buzz 5 HP Timeout 4 HP Blue Bolt 3 HP Golden Star 4 HP Spaceman 3 HP Torpedo Lass II back to 5 HP Sever 4 HP As we are moving towards the end, don't be hesitant to spend them.
-
GM Torpedo Lass and Sevrer moved back toward the center of the park where most of the Claremont teens have been gathering as Blue Bolt came up with a possible plan to deal with the architect of the situation the teens found themselves in. That architect, the dark robed figure turned slightly away from Spaceman as it raised its arms out to its side, and as it did so, nearly two dozen figures appeared around it. Some were recognizable to the Claremont teens, it was the various members of the Crime League, Black Star, Devil Ray, Dr. Simian, Dr. Stratos, Hiroshima Shadow, the Maesto, Medea, Orion the Hunter and Wildcard. However, each of the villains seemed to be slightly faded in color, being almost greyish in tint. There were at least a dozen other figures that were clearly various aliens. Some appeared to be reptilian, another was some sort of four armed humanoid insect, two were humanoids with various amounts of cybernetics, along with various other humanoids. As with the members of the Crime League, these aliens appeared slightly faded in color, having a similar greyish tint. Almost as soon as these new threats materialized, one of them leapt into action, the four armed insectoid suddenly became a blur of movement as it rushed forward toward Timeout, covering the distance in the blink of an eye. But as it closed, Torpedo Lass fired a phosphorescent sphere that hit the alien. However, it managed to take the hit and keep on coming. But just as it close on Lawrence, there was a WOOSH of air and Paradigm had moved in front of the blond teen. CRACK The alien delivered a supersonic punch, much like Velocity, that struck the Praetorian leader squarely. But she appeared unfazed by the attack and the alien speed past, covering hundreds of feet as it looped around the park. Then a yellow blur streaked after it, as the teenage Velocity sped after the alien, launching a supersonic punch of her own at it. CRACK However, the alien was able to duck underneath the attack as the two sped along side by side.

Okay, time to dial up tension a bit as we move towards executing Blue Bolt's plan: The robed figure is summoning time simulacrums of the Crime League and the Deadly Dozen (alien supervillains the Praetorians have fought in the past). The Crime League will mainly engage with the Freedom League. Round Five 39 Procyus (unharmed) 38 Velocity (unharmed) 32 Gamma Buzz 4 HP (injured, bruised, dislocated leg, prone) 30 Moon-Moth Drone (unharmed) 25 Insect Drones (several in area around park) 24 Rux (unharmed) 24 Timeout 3 HP (unharmed) 21 Sullek (unharmed) 21 Blue Bolt 2 HP (unharmed) 21 Rot 4 HP (unharmed) 20 Varlis (unharmed) 20 X’madi (unharmed) 20 Sai’x (unharmed) 20 Golden Star 3 HP (injured, bruised, fatigued) 20 Spaceman 2 HP (injured, bruised) 18 Zadvian (unharmed) 17 Paradigm (unharmed) 17 Torpedo Lass II 5 HP (unharmed) 15 Drones (many: 5 are within 30’ of Timeout/TL2/Sever; 26 are within 250’ of Timeout/TL2/Sever); other groups further out in area ) 14 Cor (unharmed) 13 Needle Fighters (many) 13 Large Alien Drones (6 (2 currently near Gamma Buzz)) 13 Santir (unharmed) 12 Adiri (unharmed) 10 Sever 3 HP (injured, bruised, prone) 7 Amikai (unharmed) 5 Pheydyn (unharmed) Procyus moves to attack Timeout, and TL2 hits him, but he gets a 27 on his toughness save, so is fine. Paradigm will Interpose as he continues at Timeout. Procyus gets a 30 on his attack roll, a Critical Hit!, which means he just gets past her Impervious. She tanks the DC 30 toughness save with a 34 Teen Velocity will follow after and attack the speedster, missing with a 17 That brings up Gamma Buzz! @Supercape

Yes, but they have penetrating.

Multi-Girl Maestro's sonic attack slammed into Bernadette like a sledgehammer, causing her to take half a step backward as she felt the pressure of the attack pounding on her eardrums. But then the feeling passed as she withstood the attack, mostly none the worse for wear. "Askin' politely does not give one a pass fer commitin' crimes." The redhead stated as she refocused on Maestro. Then she and her duplicates went back into action, again attacking Maestor and the punk rockers that he had brough along to back him up. But Bernadette seemed a bit thrown off by the sonic attack, as Maestro was able to easily step back and avoid her punch. However, his backup did not fare as well. Just as they were starting to clear their heads and look to get back to their feet, they suddenly found themselves facing with multiple redheads, delivering punches or kicks. In short order, three of the punk rockers had been knocked unconscious, with only one managing to withstand a punch.

@Avenger Assembled Are you able to get to the saves soon? Want to keep moving (I can make them if you don't have time)
-
Multi-Girl As Charlie pulled up on the Stormchaser, Bernadette was quick to hop off the back, landing nimbly on the wrecked pavement. Suddenly there were two identical redheads standing next to each other. The original then continued moving, running a short distance away to where there were several bystanders gathered. "Pleaser, get ta safety. This lot can be dangerous." The costumed Irish teen stated as she pointed off down a side street away from where the super powered battle was starting to escalate. Meanwhile, the duplicate also rushed forward, moving over towards once of the biker gang members, Born Loser. As the villain stood back up after doing something to some nearby civilians to heal himself, the duplicate took a swing at him. However, Born Loser was quick to react, ducking under the punch before taking a step back and fully standing back up.
-
Okay, the duplicate will move up to attack Born Loser, but will miss badly with a 12
-
Okay, Multi-Girl will move off the bike and use her standard action to summon her duplicate. She will then continue to move over to the nearest group of civilians and suggest they get to safety. Duplicate gets a 25 for her initiative.

Bayview Heights Freedom City, New Jersey Thursday May 22, 2024. 5:35 PM Bernadette O'Connell stood at the entrance to the large living room/family room in Young Guardians' mansion headquarters. The far wall of the room was dominated by a massive flat screen TV, with several built-in cabinets around it for various game systems and other electronics. A pair of the redhead’s duplicates had just finished placing another large sofa into the room to add more seating beyond the already large sectional that was there. The Irish teen had organized a movie night for the members of the Young Guardians, and also invited her roommate Neko (who was also Leon's girlfriend). The last several months had been rather busy for all the members of the Young Guardians, but especially for Bernadette. She was nearing the end of her last year at Claremont Academy, with tests and final papers and the like. But if that, and time crime fighting and training with her fellow Guardians, was not enough, there was also her band’s increasing popularity. Since coming back from a show in Tokyo, they had started performing at clubs up and down the East Coast, in addition to ones around Freedom City. They had also put out their first album, and Bernadette had appeared on the cover of Seventeen for a story about the band, in addition to making other media appearances. So, the redhead took every opportunity like this to spend time with her friends and teammates, to allow them to get to know each other a bit better outside the stress of battling supervillains or training. Those that lived at the mansion, or spent a good bit of time there, had come to learn Bernadette could be rather domestic, with her or her duplicates regularly taking the time to clean up around the mansion when she was there, and she was a decent cook. From a relatively young age the Irish teen had begun to help her mother around the house, cleaning up after her father and two older brothers. Glancing one more time around the room, Bernadette gave a small smile. "That should be plenty o' places ta sit." She said aloud, something that was unnecessary, given the mental link she shared with her duplicates. A couple of other duplicates were in the kitchen, getting drinks and snacks ready. She had left it to Charlie to order pizzas for later.

Timeout "I'm fine." Lynn responded, though both Daniel and Sam could tell she was not fully telling the truth. She took a step back from the game and looked back over toward the pair. "Don't worry about me. I am fine to just watch a bit if you two want to keep playing." Over by the Ace Combat game, Lawrence stayed quiet as Mizuki focused on the dog fight she was in. When it ended and she mentioned the other pilot was a pilot in real life the blond teen nodded. "Well, that should take a bit of the sting out I would think. Must feel good to have gotten so close." When she started talking about summer plans and started to get a bit at a loss for words, Lawrence took one of her hands in his, holding it gently as he gave her a warm smile. "That sounds like a great opportunity that you are more than qualified for." He said. "As for me, overall, my family's plans have been a bit upended." He glanced briefly over in the direction of where Lynn was standing with Daniel and Sam. "I think my mom is planning to be in town all summer to make sure she is okay and settling in." The blond teen turned back to regard Mizuki with his bright blue eyes. "As for me, I have nothing in particular planned. My father has to go back to England for a few things over the summer, and I was thinking of going along at least once. But…I can easily pop back across the pond whenever I want to." He stated with a slight grin. "You got something in mind?"
