Good lord, I've read short stories with less words than that questionarie. :shock: (It's like if the DMV met an English teacher and had a child that expected their playmates to fill out several dozen forms in triplicate before they could play.)

Okay, we have a good news/bad news situation here. Good news is, you're a Judge now, and that's pretty cool. Bad news? Gratz, Heritage! :clap:

I took a little bit of liberty with the post, but I'm pretty sure that Ren touching the mirror will do the same thing as when Lynn did the same thing.

Ren considered the situation for a couple seconds, his lips pursing together in thought. "Well, since we want it to affect us, I think it really needs to be showing us in the mirror." He went over to the relic and held onto it, watching as the scene changed again, switching back to showing himself and Lynn. "There we go," he said. "Try it now."

Well, the leader guy noticed you, apparently. That's a DC 20 toughness save, though remember you now have three HPs. (One standard, one for the complication, and one for overcoming the challenges in "Zoom Plus")

Before she could complete the curcut, however, the leader MiB lurched out of the space behind the steel hatch and nailed her in the side of the head with a fire hydrant. Velocity tripped and staggered to the ground from the force of the blow. "You couldn't leave it alone, could you?" The man growled out, approaching her slumped-over form.

Well, it's a 15. Good, but not spectacular. Considering I started with a 3 though, it's not bad.

I don't see why not. I'll get some approval on that ASAP.

Could Ren make an INT check or something to figure out what to do? I'm a little lost here. (I was never very good at riddles. )

Oh noes! I missed again! Oh well, at least Jawbreaker is down (staggered and stunned) and between the two of us, we should be able to take The Crush down before she subverts Ren to her will. Although honestly? Not that terrible a fate. ;)

Ren allowed himself a small smile as the oddly-colored woman finally went to her knees - at least for the moment. He hoped she'd listen to reason and stay down or run off. Having to shoot her again would suck. All of a sudden, the other femme fatale's voice rang out, and a strange feeling washed over him. For a moment, he felt his mind cloud over slightly, as if it had been filled with cotton balls. The sensation passed quickly, however, and left no ill effects in it's wake. He'd have to put her down as soon as well. There was no telling if repeated exposure to something like that might have a cumulative effect, but he'd rather not find out. He leveled his weapon arm at the other woman and fired, but the ultra-high pressure stream missed her as Grim's claw knocked her back.

As an avid player of HERO, I am watching these developments closely. It was fairly funny the first time I heard of it, actually. My friend told me Steve had a big announcement coming up and he was all excited over the possibility of a Champions MMO. I thought the idea was patently absurd, myself. The company was near to bankruptcy only a few years back, and the shear amount of money that they would have to throw at a project this huge would be staggering. It didn't seem like a realistic goal to me. Shows what I know, I guess. (And I know that Cryptic simply bought the rights and is developing the game on it's own, but it's still a move from out of left field to my mind.)
