Dr Archeville

"An excellent suggestion, Frau Albright," Archeville replied, turning towards the Embassy. The gate guards gave him a curt nod as he strode past.

I think Avenger may need to see some numbers on what Dark Star did.

So far, so good. "I do not see any security system," Jos whispered to Sammy, "but as I said, you mortals have such poor eyes. I can discern, though, that those," he nodded towards the fountain, "are not Cupids, but are in fact a somewhat obscure representation of the Angel of Death. Which makes their placement around that fountain a bit odd, since water is traditionally associated with life." When the door opened and the somewhat confused guard peered out, Jos was already on him with the fast-talk. "Ah, kind sir, thank you again for letting my friend and I use your phone so that we may get ourselves out from this predicament. Also, my friend does have a very mighty need to use a restroom, so if you could to direct him, please, yes? Thank you!" Shame I can't send Sammy a telepathic message to do a 'I Must Go Wee!' dance, it might help the act. Right, we overpower this guy, then find the main security room... wherever that is.

Looks fine now; here's your second approval.

Ever wonder what'd happen if a 50 pound ball of Silly Putty were dropped off a 10 story building? Wonder no more! (Yes, that's the library at which I work.)

It does make some sense that Japan would get TF first, since TF was born from a few lines of Japanese action figures.

See my post, above A suggestion: drop some of his combat feats (since I don't see much mention of combat training in his background), and maybe the Enhanced Saves in his forms (IMO no form should give bonuses to all three non-Toughness saves, it makes them too homogeneous otherwise).

Force Fields are noticeable by default (and noticeable is a Drawback, not a Flaw) :!:

Moar Str, less Strike, plz. (Chicks dig muscles ) All of those seems, to me, to be reasons he'd have a better all-around Attack bonus, though (among other things -- Teamwork feat w/ Ska, Enhanced Concentration for Trance, for example).

Considering that the end result may very well be that Knievel goes to prison for several months (before managing to break out or being offered some manner of deal), yes. Yes, I do.

Please put a hold on this, since Knievel may be otherwise occupied at the time.

No. Knievel may be... otherwise occupied at that time.

And that, as they say, is that.

It's a comedy of errors! Oh, what farce!

When Knievel exited the room, he found the table of refreshments in place along with Legend standing before him. The armored figure gave a curt bow to the man. "Congratulations, Herr Kapitan. I believe your time has been vell spent. You vere shown aspects of yourself dat should improve your ability to bring your... unique brand of intensity to de city of Freedom. In time, you may return to further test your abilities, but now you must get back out dere und do vhat you do so vell." The door to the outside world opened, letting light filter into the corridor. Legend stood waiting to see if Knievel had anything to say to him.

Well, that depends. If Not-Daedalus cannot intercept the grav-pulse transmission Doc sent to DS (it's just Subtle, not Subtle 2), then you could probably zip us up and away. If he can intercept the transmission... or if Odysseus is going to attack b/c he knows Doc knows he's not being completely honest, and decides to drop the charade... well, it might be time to roll initiative.

Sense Motive to see through Odysseus' damn, dirty lies: 16 (natural 1!) HP to re-roll (down to 1 now) 32 total (rolled 7, add 10 to any result of 10 or less on an HP re-roll)

"Oh, did is not an end, Herr Odysseus," Archeville said as he turned -- a bit slower than usual -- to follow Odysseus. As he did, he took out his E.S. again and began to fiddle with it, "merely a pause in our burgeoning relationship. We shall meet again, und vhen ve do, I shall bring others mit me. Er, you do not mind if I take some video recording of dese scenes, do you? De architecture you haff here is so impressive, und de view from up here is incomparable!" Part of his E.S. had been reconfigured into a high-quality video camera, but other parts were converted to the shielded grav-comm line he'd developed for us with Dark Star. "Immediate Danger, Evac us now!"

I'm still waiting for Shaen/Scarab and Avalon/Vestige to post IC.

Eh? Knievel has Ultimate Effort (Toughness Saves, Attacks [melee]), not Ultimate Effort (Acrobatics checks). And Ultimate [Whatever] is a Fortune feat, which is a type of feat neither Extra Effort nor Hero Point use can get you. (Not that it matter, with the rolls you got...)

Indeed so, and in addition I believe Sand was actually the first to use the term on these boards.

Alright, that's a wrap. Now to the trial!

The police take statements from Dark Star and Doktor Archeville. As soon as the cops are done, several of the bystanders rush in to ask for autographs from the two heroes; a few ask about the mysteeerious archer who had sped off. Dark Star gets a majority of the attention, since he is so new and looks so extraordinary. A few days later, Knievel goes on trial. ~fin~

STAGE FIVE A test of Knievel's acrobatic abilities. As usual, you have three attempts for each DC. Part 1 -- DC 15 Part 2 -- DC 20 Part 3 -- DC 25 Part 4 -- DC 30
