Veiled Malice

Do you have the Mastermind's Manual? I thought we could do a little chase scene here. You're almost certainly going to win, of course, but it might be fun.

For the first few minutes, following the van was no problem. It seemed to be heading off towards Kingston, probably to head over one of the bridges crossing the the Wading River. But soon, it became obvious that whoever was in the van had spotted her. It began to speed up, trying to outrun her.

Could you give me a quick stealth roll? It won't be tough, but you still need to stay out of sight.

You know, I've never been to a Convention before. It might be fun. I'll look into it.

As all of Velocity's journey's were, the trip was short. One quick jaunt out of the ultra-high class areas of North Bay and into the suburbs later, she found herself in an area of two story cookie cutter houses and well maintained front yards. The suburban sprawl wiped past at incredible speed as she seached for the right home. It wasn't long coming. A van had been hastily parked on the side of a street with the unfortunate name of "Pleasant Lane", and two men in black suits and sunglasses were loading a unresisting body into the side.

Con would be a better purchase. Not only does it increase Toughness and Fort, but there are some things, like holding your breath, which are determined off of your Con. Yes, in the main book. However, in UP, that is increased to 3 for all ranged (Slow/Fast projectiles, and energy blasts/beams) You cannot deflect perception range powers, which leaves out most unmodified mental powers. I'm not sure what that means. 1) The max save total you can have is PL +5. This includes your ability bonuses, so the maximum amount you can have is 15 in any save. 2) It has to be outside. Only one array power, unless the array is dynamic, can be active at one time.

Velocity zipped over to the next home on her list, but found it in much the same condition as the first. No one home, or no one coming to the door. She was about to leave and head over to Jackson Sinclair's house when the phone went off inside. The sound carried fairly well despite the storm glass inbetween her and the noise. After a couple rings, the machine picked up. After a dry and uninteresting message telling the caller to leave their name and number, the situation started to get more interesting. "Man, it's me, Jackson! Oh man, where the hell are you?! Why don't you have your ce-" Velocity could tell the young man on the line was on a cell phone. Wind whistling past the reciever cut out his desperate words for a second, the cut back in with, "-going home! We gotta get out of here now! Give me a call when you-" This time, wind was not responsible for Jackson's words going away. Then, "oh my god," he said quietly, then yelling, "Oh my god! There're here! They'rehere! Ohmygodohmygodgetawayfromme-" Velocity knew a doppler shift when she heard one. Jackson was speeding up, his words along with them, and the shorter wavelengths made his words sound higher and closer together. She had to get to Jackson's house now. Whoever "they" were had to have some answers.

Well, you took two bruises and are stunned. Not a good state for you to be in, since tweedle dee and tweedle racist are still are over you. What that means is your toughness is down to 4 and you cannot act the next turn. Any Sustained duration powers go off, since you can't devote a free action to them, which fortunately does not affect you. This would rob you of your dodge bonus, but since you have all Defense bonus, this does not affect you either. Unfortunately, the stunned condition gives you a flat -2 to your defense. To sum up, you are boned unless Nightrival steps in. I can make a post for you, if you still want me to.
