Nope. I'm in the habit of never forcing player action in case they lead to horrible, horrible consequences (a likely scenario in my games). But if you jut say OOC like "I look in the crate, I'll just edit that bit in."

Typo. Supposed to be Jestnut. Also, accidentally edited your above post, changed it back though. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing.

GM ONLY POST After scouring the warehouse for a few minutes, the collected heroes find a clue. About 8 or 9 rows back into the warehouse, there's a collection of maybe a dozen or so crates that have a very large tarp thing covering them. However, from the looks of the dust, this area has been heavily disturbed, as if someone has made a concentrated effort to examine this collection of boxes. Most of the crates are labeled as property of Darts, most of them being weapons of some kind, ranging from side arms to artillery. After a few minutes of looking over the crates, it is discovered that one of the crates doesn't have any sort of label of any kind. This crate being the largest in the pile, you could fit 2 full size couches in it without any difficulty.

It's amazing how many heroes here can be stumped by a problem that can be solved by the Scooby-Doo gang. But everyone so far has made the Notice check.

"Ho diz iz mosht unfortunate." says Jester. He has adorned a full quack doctor get up, complete with over sized coke bottle glasses, crazy(er) hair do and lab coat. "It appears dot our goot Doctor friend here iz sufferink from some keend uf delusion. He seems to believe dot de vorld iz a logical place, soch a silly man. In odder news: Hy hef a shark in my pants." Without further ado, Jester pulls a very much alive 15 ft great white shark out of his pants. Without missing a beat, he paints a black hole on the wall, using an extra set of arms he just so happens to have now, and then throws the shark through the hole before painting over it again, making it mesh with the rest of the alley walls. The shark problem averted, he turns to Doctor Archeville. "The next time hyu try und chew de scenery Doctor, Hy recommend hyu find out how exactly has de biggesht teeth yah?" After reverting back to normal, he asks the assembled heroes "Who votes Narnia now?"

*psst* ...Improved Grab.

Jestnut stops bouncing, clamping his hands over his ears. "I think he wants to communicate." He pulls out a very small horn... AAAAAAAAA--WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-GA!!!!! "Normally I don't like to toot my own horn, but you set yourself up for that." Laughing like a crazed maniac, Jestnut begins spinning around like a top and continues to follow the signal towards his double.

"You stole my line!" shouts a scandalized Jester at Colt. Jester is currently adorned in a full on Dorthy get up, the sight of which will likely leave you scarred for years. "Ah well, at least I have pants!" taunts Jester as he straightens his fedora, now in his classic suit get up. Walking up to Doctor Archeville Jester bends over and whispers in his ear "Not trying to do your job or anything, but I think it's pronounced 'Narnia', just a heads up." "Don't mention it sir, if anyone can stop a punchline it's me! heheheHEHEHEHAAAHAHAAHHAA!"

Alright, if you're going to actively look around for stuff, I'll need a Notice check and then a Search check. Essentially "That looks important." *scours through the paper work*

"Ooohhh. You poor heroes don't have a clue do you?" chuckles Jester as he joins the other heroes, bouncing ever so slightly on his pogo stick. "Thankfully, that's never stopped me before!" He leaps off the pogo stick, yanking the handlebars down before releasing the pogo stick and it rockets off to parts unknown. "Jester, resident Clown Prince of Chaos, at your service." says Jester taking a sweeping bow. "Especially yours." he adds to Mongrel Angel. Standing back to his full height, Jester pulls something out of his jacket pocket. "I've also been dabbling as a private eye. My card." he says as he holds out a few pieces of gum. As soon as someone looks like they might try to grab a piece, he hasitly retracts his hand, holding the gum to his chest like it was his baby. "Helllloooo! "Private" duh. Jeez, some people just don't listen." Jester throws the wad of gum in his mouth and starts chomping away, somehow able to smile through the whole ordeal.

Looks good. Approved.

Hello, Backstory and all that fluffy mess looks pretty good. Stats, good. Combat, good. Saves, you forgot to actually list where you spent the points. Skills, I'm actually counting 18 ranks, not 20. So you've got 2 more to spend. Feats, good. Powers, got a problem here. Absorption is 4pp/rank by default, 2 extras jacks that up to 6pp/rank, 6 ranks = 36 pp + 7pp (2 PF's and 5 AP's) = 43 points. So, if my math is right, your character has spent 102/90 power points. Point shaving time.

GM ONLY POST Near as you can tell from your initial glance around the compound, it appears to be a catch all for most every high tech company in Freedom City; the names Arche Tech, Astro and Darts are smattered across the various crates. From the labels you can guess that much of this stuff would be the archieves or failed prototypes; the nice layer of dust helps too. Either the project ran out of funding or hit a technological dead end. But someone apparently thought there was something valuable contained within here.

No, I physically have to be next to the person. It's just that if anyone is getting hammered, Atlas can go lend a hand is all I'm saying. If you could move as a reaction, that'd be a touch broken. It would effectively jack the party's PL up a few notches. Take their mondo Defense rating, and then slap Atlas's Toughness save with that, JoAB would be PL 16 Defensively. Then all Atlas would have to do was use his Healing every round to clear the damage he took, if any. But it doesn't work like that. Only 1/round and only on someone I'm literally standing next to.

Actually with Leaping 4 active, Atlas can jump 275ft from a stand still as a Move Action (would be further but Strength from Growth doesn't count). He actually the only one in the thread with a movement power* too . This is a very weird thread based upon the make up of the party. * Swinging not included, sorry :spidey:

Also: going to macro this for the remainder of the thread. If Atlas is ever adjacent to an ally as they are targeted by an attack, Atlas will interpose. Unless I'm mistaken, he's the only one in the thread traded off for Toughness.

Going to use Atlas's Shockwave power feat to hit the maximum number of Broan I can catch in a 120ft cone without hitting any of my allies. DC 27 Toughness save (or 21 if they make a DC 22 Reflex save). And we'll say Atlas has Super-Strength 6 and Leaping 10 active right now.

Atlas had been on patrol when he had heard the loud explosion and saw the craft crash into Parkside. "Fricken aliens." After a few hurried steps, Atlas took off far into the air. Within seconds he was hurtling towards Parkside, and he managed to land between the two crafts with a rather impressive thud. He had no idea who or what these aliens were, but the other heroes were smacking them around and that meant diplomacy was way out the window by this point. Good that made things simple. "Vrong planet!" snarled Atlas menacingly as he advanced upon the Broan warriors. But he didn't even get close enough to take a swing, he just clapped his hands together and the Broan were assaulted by a massive shockwave, the raindrops being converted into veritable bullets.

"" responds an utterly floored Atlas in Russian. His mind is once again too preoccupied playing catch up to add anything else before Grim vanished from sight. Looking where Grim had just been standing, a smile made its way across Atlas's face. "" He absent mindedly scratches Sprinkle's ears for a few moments before setting her down on the bed. The cat meows in protest and Samael teasingly responds ""

Squirrel. The only critter I can think of with the necessary amount of energy. See Also

Jester. My God. Jester. His expy is actually a completely normal looking human :D

Initiative (1d20+0=13) I should respond by Friday or Saturday, but until I do, feel free to skip my turns as necessary.

Yeah, I had always thought that the attache was one of the stupor powers from comics. "That would totally never work..." *watches the screen* "Holy ****! I want one!"

Yeah, my posting rate is going to start dropping soon. Got quite a few things on my plate before I can enjoy the break, and even then I'm going to be (or at least should be) writing like it's going out of style over break.

He only started exhibiting the shape-shifting powers recently, and currently has no mental powers. So, on the list of theories of where the heck Atlas got his powers, Grue jumped up a few notches, but no one is sure of it, or even all that suspicious. Grim's the only one that knows he can shapeshift and she may be a little mum on the subject for alternative reasons. The one stumbling block is of course the fact that Samael Nitorvich was born a human. But those that are more space adept would pick out the similarities quicker.
