Dr Archeville

That's better than them, so she gets to go first! The two inside are about 20 feet beyond the door. The three outside are... however far it is you decided to land from them.

Oy! We still need to hear from the following: alderwitch Lone Star patcore Sandman Shaen the Brain Skysong

Sorry for not getting back quicker. 'kay, looks like it be initiative time, since they ain't takin' kindly to this interruption. Initiatives 11 -- (Unseen Ringleader) 7 -- Minions (5... that you know of)

The three men stopped what they were doing and looked up, and looked -- to Gossamer's surprise -- sincerely spooked! "Dammit, he said this'd be easy," she heard one curse. "Still can be," she heard another say, then heard him loudly call into the loading dock, "hey, we got a Cape out here!" Gossamer could just make out two other thugs inside the building, several dozen feet past the loading dock doors; they were hauling a large crate.

So Colt got an HP b/c of GM Fiat in letting the Mystery Woman re-roll her Toughness save? Rank 9 rock = Toughness DC 24; 17 fails by 7, so that would've bruised & stunned her.

She does still have blood, right? Even if it's glowy and funky, it's still something that could be drawn out with a syringe?

Jawohl! Both thugs are down, so it's just the woman atop the alley to contend with (as far as we know). Full round action to switch Pseudonatural Brain to Enhanced Wisdom. Wis is now 34/+12, Wil save +15, Medicine +15, Notice +17. Free action to direct his minio- I mean, allies.

"Vatch out for de voman up dere," Archeville called as he looked to the old man, "she's an energy manipulator of some type, negated Dark Star's gravity field." From here the old man seemed badly injured, but a closer look would be needed for an accurate evaluation. As he prepared to move in, he searched his mind for any pertinent medical knowledge, especially tried and true folk remedies using materials which would likely be most common in this strange place.

In order to make sure the Refs accurately count all your IC posts and award you the due amount of power points, please post with a list of all the threads in which your character posted IC this month (including the News forum). Please also mark things from the Non-Canonical forum as being non-canonical, as those count 1/2 (2 posts made for your char in a non-canon thread count as 1 post for the char). And if you are GMing something, list those threads, too. GM-only posts -- as well as NPC Villain posts -- also count 1/2, and can be assigned to whichever of your characters needs a 'push' to get up in post numbers. When you make your list, please post a link to the IC threads (preferably the first post of the month, though that's not necessary), so we can jump right to it. Help us help you :mrgreen:

"Dat is quite kind of you," he said in response to her mention of donating the cape, right before he began looking over her records. He was quiet for some time. "Dese are some intriguing readings here," he finally said. "So intriguing, in fact, dat I qvestion some of dem, und vould like to run dese tests again meinself, both to see if dey are correct und if you haff changed appreciably since dese vere taken." Before she could answer, Archeville was already walking over towards another workstation, and pulling more items from its drawers and cabinets. Most of these were common medical gear -- stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, thermometer -- while others were of completely new to Fulcrum.

The scanner leads her towards the southwest, to Midtown. At first Gossamer wondered if the device was working properly, since she'd seen the Power Corps take Doc to the east, but then she thought it was entirely possible they doubled back, to lead her astray. Little did they know how FAR she'd go to get him back! With Liberty Park to her right, she passed over familiar sites such as the Eastern Seaboard Bank Building, Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, Liberty Perk, and the Millennium Mall before arriving at the apparent source of the readings: the Supers Museum. By this time of night, the museum should be all dark and quiet, and most of it was. There were some lights at the back, at one of the loading docks... and the men loading several crates onto the back of a moving van were not in UPS outfits. They looked more... thuggish minion-y. The place was being robbed!

So is this a wrap? Anything more?

Batman one-ups Superman: Detective Comics #27, the debut of Batman, sells for $1.075 million.

"If it please our honoree," Archeville said as he nudged his sizable (1'x1'x1') blue-with-red-bow present towards Taylor, "I should like mein present to be opened next." Judging by the solid sound it made as it was nudged, whatever it was was not only big, it was a tad on the heavy side. And it was ever-so-softly ticking.

"I vould advise focusing on de here und now, for now at least," Archeville replied to Dark Star, "dough if these t'ree are here, dere may be others, counterparts of Daedalus or de Raven, or Pseudo or Star Knight." The Doktor then looked to the three captured crooks, then to Ace and Stesha. "Ve should also find out vhat ve can from dem, vhat deir purpose in being here is. Deir attempts to procure Doctor Frank's quantum transmitter does not bode vell. Not vell at all." "Monsieur Danger, êtes vous familiarisé avec 'bon policier/mauvais policier'?"* * French for "are you familiar with 'good cop/bad cop'?"... at least, according to BabelFish ;)

And in honor of Colt's recent action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB_yoDX0MUY

Kinda like how Doc is convinced his phenomenal brain is the result of dedication/training plus a subtle psionic mutation, when really it's pseudonatural magical enhancement? ;)

Sooo... where are we in the initiative order? Whose turn it be?

Well, if Fleur or Edge were with us, those options would be on the table ;)

Looks like we've got: 24 -- Dark Star 21 -- Jester 19 -- Colt 18 -- Jack of All Blades 16 -- Doktor Archeville 15 -- Grimalkin

Oh, something else I can tell you now: the initial readings she gets tell her to go southwest, towards Midtown.
