Dr Archeville

Mmmm, feisty! Jos continued to approach, still smiling, but now the smile was creeping into a leer, "Oh, now, madame, please, do not talk in such a manner! I would not think of seeing you leave without taking something to tickle your fancy. And I am sure you will find my terms quite agreeable, as I am always willing to haggle."

"Stay? Well, I can go home; I live near FCU. Oh," she suddenly looked even more fearful, "you don't think that whatever did this would reach to there, do you? Would... would follow me?! Ohgodohgodohgod...."

"Crush your bo- ooof!" the demon roars, then abruptly stops as one shot slams into and knocks the wind out of him.

Toughness save = 1d20+7 = 18 DC was 23 (after adjustment for all the holy), so that fails by 5. Bel takes a Bruise and is Stunned for a round. Since he's Stunned, he's flat-footed, and has an additional -2 to Defense. His total defense is now 11. While Stunned he cannot act, which means his Sustained effects (his "Internal Infernal Combustion") may go down. He gets to make a Concentration check, DC (10 + power rank, or 17 in this case) to keep it up. And his Concentration check... fails, with a 13, so his Impervious is down. Things don't look so good for us!

No it does not!

The effects are exquisitely done, so it's worth it just for the technical artistry.

brrraaaiiinnnsss...?

So... the heroes moving on to the pier?

"I... I think so," she said, still visible shaken, "who -- what could have done that?!"

I would say no. Correct.

"What?" Sergeant Grigori shouted (his voice almost cracking), "You- wait... destroyed evidence? Aw, geez, man, the Lieutenant's gonna have my- wait, no, stopping these things is more important! Look, tell me exactly where you are, I'll send a team over to collect what they can. Do what ya can, but, hey, if you can wrangle one of these things for us, then-" Someone on Grigori's end suddenly called for him, loudly, and he quickly hung up.

Okay, folks, show of hands: who here will have their schedule impacted by the start of the new school year?

"Ja, Dr. Brown," he said, weakly at first but quickly regaining his strength, "dis has been most illuminating. It is clear I still haff room for improvement, even -- or, perhaps, especially -- mein mind."

Making a demon fall in love/lust with her? Oh, she may regret that.... :twisted:

Whoah... look at the way her eyes catch the light, the curve of that dress... did it just get more sexy in here? Jos moved closer to the woman, still smiling. "Oh, I've seen lots of foxes, madame, both at home and here. Can't say as I've ever seen one the size of a car, but I have seen some humanoid ones. In fact, if I may say," he slicked his hair back, "I do believe I'm looking at a fox right now...."

Doc (and Dryad) is in one of Blackstone's armories. What all's in here? 'cuz it looks like Doc's going to need some firepower.

Quote, I believe Knievel's up.

Glad to hear you two have had such fun!

But it was Space Ham!

I saw District 9 last night. The TV Tropes page is right, it is Humans Are Bastards: The Movie.

Heh. Its Toughness save is so low, it couldn't have passed a DC 25 Toughness check, even with a nat 20. But now RRG knows how fragile they are, and can pull his punches accordingly. Or just waste 'em all.

The blob-thing is no longer there, it's completely fried. As is the section of tree it had been wrapped around.

The blob stops slowly creeping up the tree, and is mostly still, though still quivering. It shows no other sign of response, though.

Happy Birfday, a day late!

With a 30 on her Notice check, Scarab effectively sees the events of this entire thread.
