Dr Archeville

Waaaitasec... When did that happen? This is the first I can recall hearing that they have any sort of connection.

The third door opened, as the first two had, to a seemingly empty room, dark save for a few odd lights here and there. As the door closed, Legend's voice rang out. "You have weathered some rather extreme pains, Captain. Now it is time for you to return the favor. Good hunting." From the far side of the room, Knievel could hear movement....

STAGE THREE A test to see how (physically) offensive Knievel can be. Three attempts to hit each target. I'll make Toughness saves for the ones you hit. (I'm partly letting you determine what there Toughness saves are, since you'll be describing what's attacking you.) Part 1 -- Defense 16 Part 2 -- Defense 20 Part 3 -- Defense 24 Part 4 -- Defense 30

"Pleased to meet you, Miss Albright," Archeville said, extending a hand and flashing a welcoming smile. "You vouldn't happen to be related to Langston Albright, founder of de Albright Institute, vould you?" From the corner of his eye, Archeville could just see a shapely winged woman in a dress approaching. He turned enough to wave to her, "are you here for Emissary's little soiree, too?"

With his Cthulhoid Brain set to Enhanced Int, Doc can get a 20 by taking 10 on any untrained Knowledge check. Assuming things are calm enough for him to Take 10. And Taking 10 on a Notice check -- again, assuming things are calm enough to do so -- also gets a 20.

If the thread should be moved, I'm sure a Ref-like entity would be happy to do so for a small fee.

I suppose a wedding is a valid excuse. :P

And while doing pre-admin/touring stuff, she met Quark, and later learned he was going to the Brainiac thing as well, so being the eco-friendly kids they are, they decided to carpool. ;)

For those interested, I'm setting this for Friday, May 8th. After the Genderswitch wackiness Doc was in (and after the HUGE EXPLOSION in Riverside), but before Quark's trip to a mysterious antiques store. Besides, what else are brainiacs like us gonna do on a Friday night? ;)

Looks like you're gonna need more punch.

That's all you're giving me? Really? C'mon, now. May 8th, 2009: Emissary sets up a meeting for some of the brainiest of the brainy among Freedom City, to exchange ideas on how they might use their skills for the betterment of all. (It's a Friday night, what else are brainiacs going to be doing?) Dr. Archeville, Psyche, Quark, and Twilight Gryphon all show up. (Brainiacs of Freedom! ver 2.0)

That's an understatement. Why have it here? Wouldn't that make him more likely to cause property damage, though?

Notice or Search checks, probably. Ecal? You still around? Does Mr. Divine suddenly appear?

Archeville let out a sound indicating a mix of surprise and relief as he looked about. "So, ve are in Greece? How fascinating: most forms of pandimensional transfer I am avare of -- vhich, I do admit, are not many -- deposit a traveler to a point corresponding to de point of departure. I had expected us to arrive in de equivalent of de Hanover neighborhood of Freedom city in de United States of dis vorld." He then turned to face Odysseus, "und you are a prince here? Even more fascinating! I presume dat dere are other royalty in your court, ja?"

Bluff check is... crap, an 8. I'm going to use my one VP to re-roll. (I imagine I'll be getting some more as we go along. I'd think we'd each get one already for the holy ground & anti-Ghost wards...) Re-roll is... a 22!

Alright, time to see if my high school theater arts classes paid off. "Yes, hello, good evening" Jos said in a very thick Dutch accent*, "we are lost, and we are hoping you can help us. We were with a tour group that was going through some of the older settlements of Freedom, and got separated from our group. We have been wandering for many hours, my friend and I, and were hoping we could use your phone to call the tour coordinator to help us out of here. We hate to be a bother, but our cell phones do not get good reception out in this area. Also, we would very much appreciate it if you would be so kind as to let us use your restroom. Please, can you help us?" * I don't know what a heavy Dutch accent sounds like, and I torture enough people with my fake-German as Dr. Archeville, so I'm just typing this straight.

I do believe that's part of the reason why Avenger said "possible surprise guest appearances from Dark Star and Dr. Archeville" ;)

Archeville continued working, which had in truth consisted mostly of exploring the workings of the device. "Remove de access panel, ten centimeters below de bottom right edge of de timer, den carefully slide de quaternary trigger svitch back, being careful not to let it touch de sides. See de bundle of vires below? Dey vill need to be cut in de following order...."

Do I need to make another Disable Device roll? Or is the one I made last round enough?

Archeville smiled Dr. Brown and bowed slightly as he took her hand, "guten tag, Herr Doktor. If you are do von administering mein tests, den I shall make sure I do vell on dem!" He shot a quick wink to her as he rose back up and looked around the facility.

Um, my idea was for us to walk up to the gate, pretend we're tourists who got lost from our tour group. :P

If two of the SWAT Officers have MAX Armor (pg.71, FC book), sure.
