Oh great! Now I've got that chick in my house telling me it was time to pay off some debt! To make matters worse, she's got Belphegor coming to my house! I really hope he doesn't burn up my place. I like it here!

Sammy opened his eyes to the bright light streaming through his window and blinked. His body ached. He hadn't done much the night before, but his dreams were again fairly chaotic. As he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, the very competent B&E man thought about the strange dreams. 'This was worst than before. It's almost as if I'm being drawn to like the machines. It still doesn't feel wrong though. Almost like a calling of some kind.' Sammy looked over at the Tv where the strange rune covered box sat. It had begun to become a sore to his sight. He had deleivered the letter that Byron had wanted him to do, but there was no sign of the man at the Lincoln cemetary. For the past few days, he had made it a point to visit the area in the hope that he would find some clue as to why Byron didn't show up. It wasn't like Lenny to lead him to a deadend so Sammy had yet to reveal to his contact that Byron hadn't appeared. Sammy took a shower and after ten minutes began to feel like his old self. Just as he exited the shower, drying his hair, a familiar voice sent his voice reeling. "Good. You're up. That makes things so much easier." Sammy turned around looking for the source of the voice, fearful that the woman would actually show her face this time. Sammy attempted to hide his fear but failed miserably as he spoke to the empty air around him. "We....well, I'm g...glad to be of service, ma'am. That's me, always eager to please." "Enough foreplay, Ghost. It's time for you payback your debt.* I've contacted the demon as well. Once he arrives, I'll explain what you have to do." Sammy's eyes widen as the words sunk in. "Belphegor is coming here? Woman, are you crazy? He doesn't know me any more than I know him. That's the way I like things to be." The room temperature suddenly dropped and Sammy's eyes widen in undisguised fear as he realized he had probably said too much. "I'll overlook that remark for now, Ghost. I my employer would not want me to exact my displeasure upon you right before you are to do a job for him," the bodiless voice said softly. "But when this is done, you can be sure that I will repay you for the comment! Now get dressed. It should not be much longer for him to get. He has the ability to travel much faster than yourself." Knowing that the situation had went from bad to worse, Sammy quietly got dressed in his usually work clothes: black jeans and shirt. Finally dressed, he sat on his sofa and waited for the demon to arrive. * See what debt here

No word from Toptomcat or Thejoshie. You're up. Still want to do this?

Are there any other takes for this? I know there are few villains on the site, but this is an option for us.

Hmmm, keep watch on the thread. I'll try to get you in somehow. I'll post up a small intro post for you to do that will lead you into the thread.

Once you two figure out what you want to do, Sandman can lock this up.

Good thing Chris is there to let you in on what's happening! :D

Grapple is +21 [Attack 13 + Str 7+ Super str 1= 21]. Let me know if you catch anything else. Done by MBCE

The sudden feeling of cold water brought the two villains back to their senses. Standing over them, no bucket in sight, was the strangely dressed gentleman known as Legend, curator of the Arena. "A very fine match, Matthias, Captain Knievel. Perhaps there will be a need for a rematch at a later date. I eagerly await seeing it."

Sure. Will do now.

I need an intiative roll from ArmyofOne. The Thug is going to jump him.

The thug stopped about thirty feet from Benjamin's location and cracked his knuckles. He looked back at his buddies to see them watching the encounter closely. "Man, you just don't know what kind of butt whooping you're gonna get!"

Okay, changing the trade off is fine, but please put a post in your news thread as to why the change. A small post is sufficent. Done by MBCE

Hellbound ran towards the building, gaining speed as he went along. The hero was so intent on a boarded window near his location that he didn't see the crack in the street caused by Scarab's removal of the lamp post. His foot caught in the crack which caused him to mistime his leap. Hellbound smashed into the wall of the building, just right of the large opening that Scarab made with her impervished door opener. The tumble did nothing to the hero other than cause a slight bit of embarrassment.

Yes there is room. The Lincoln thread occurs on Jan 9th, 2009. The Southside thread occurs on Feb 19th, 2009.

From Chris' prespective, it seems that the gorilla is tinkering with the smoke machine. Exactly how, he's not clear. He didn't get a good enough look to know.

I've got to ask. Resist how? Is this supposed to be a toughness save? A natural one on any attack roll is a miss, you know. I can see the papers now, "Extra, extra. Read all about it. Hero attacks wall and misses!" Seriously, I think you can hit the wall, but I think I may need to put up a map to sort out where everyone is. My vision of the building and what everyone else is thinking seems off. EDIT: Oh, you were heading for a window. Well that changes things. With a natural one, maybe you hit the wall--a miss timed jump perhaps. Regardless, you won't be taking damage from it, just delayed from joining in the fight. How do you want to handle it? You do realize that you have Imprevious toughness 10, right? I doubt the wall can hurt you. But thank you for the roll. It shows you're on your game!

See my above post why this may take some time. I'll get back to it ASAP. :point:

If it is a change that you feel is important for the character, then by all means stick by it. Teh problem I'm seeing is you're going from no trade off, to a 2pt trade off, without an IC reasoning. I'll run it by the other Refs and see how we stand on changing trade-offs after character creation. Whether they can be done, off camera or need to be [ion camera. Will get back to you ASAP.

Think I'll just leave now. Good catch though.

Just got the thread started. Collecting a Debt Plenty of space to play with it. Should be a bundle of joy!!

January 21st, 2009: The Ghost and Belphegor are forced to work ttogether again to track down a mysterious coin. Will the two manage to pay off their debt? (Collecting a Debt)
