    Sounds good!

    that's a DC 15 save for anyone who wants to avoid it. let me know if I should post IC or if you want to roll (or have the PCs roll) for it!

    Okay: If it's okay with everyone else, I'm going to have Sea Devil drop the following effect. I think it'll be a fun source of complications for people. Teleport 5 (The Mother's Coils; 100 ft/5 miles, Extras: Accurate [+1], Portal [+2]) {25/28} Let me know if that will get any low-PL bystanders, if so I might do something else. She's going to aim for the bottom of the lake she was just in if she's close enough (since she can only go 100 ft) - if not, she's going to drop them all behind full cover (100 ft away, maybe one of the park buildings) and away from the view of the woman targeting them.

    Okay, @Spacefurry, does this effect detect as magic?
  7. Avenger Assembled
    just checking in to see how everything's going!

    Normally I would say do minions on the sheet as the PC, but this one is complicated enough that it deserves its own! (love the pic!) APPROVED

    Their pilot stayed with the plane, explaining with a little shrug that she couldn't leave it abandoned. "And besides, you might need a ride home in a hurry," she added with a smile. That left the heroes to exit together out onto the airstrip, which wasn't the worst thing the two of them had sever seen but certainly wasn't pretty. The volcanic ashfall across much of the island recently had been relatively light here and had long since washed off the tropical forest and the like, but the airport building itself looked to be largely abandoned. There were a few vehicles parked if they wanted to try their hands at hotwiring them, or they had their powers to get them where they needed to go. It was easy to think, at least for a moment, they were all alone on the island despite their pilot, even though of course they knew the island was only partially evacuated. Still, the nearest village was some distance away from the map they'd consulted. Heading towards the capital would give them access to more people but take them off the immediate trail, heading for the Cardenas company site would give them access to where Cardenas had been last seen - but also get them closer to the volcano! Soufrière Hills wasn't actually erupting at the moment - but the pillar of smoke rising from it in the distance was a reminder that it lived still.

    Hey, you're the boss, anything from full immunity to "quitcher bellyaching and roll" would be acceptable. =D https://orokos.com/roll/993566 well that was a bad roll. Okay, I'll just take the slowed and be chastened!

    "Thanks, Carmen." The last time they'd gotten together, Carmen had ridden around on the back of the Patriot's motorcycle - but not even a superhero could ride around with a newborn on a motorcycle. So instead they cheated a little. "Here, take this, and I'll tag the missus - " She handed Carmen a small metal tag about the size of a cellphone, then took another herself. "Okay, honey we're ready - hold on baby, it's coming!" Then there was a distinct flash of light, and the three of them were elsewhere, standing in an alleyway in what Ashley quickly explained was a nearby part of Freedom City. It was a slightly jarring transition as they landed a few inches above the ground, one which promptly started Phillip to crying again. "Fa'Rua's trying to get the teleporter on her ship to work better in atmosphere, but it's still a little rough. Ssh, ssh, it's okay, baby, it's okay..." She turned to Carmen and said, "Listen, this is a good place - but I can't put on my costume when I have the baby. Are you gonna be all right?" There was, after all, no way for Carmen to take her costume off. "We can go to my house if you'd rather."

    does Aquaria's nature as a proud Deep One rather than puny Surface-Man help her out here any? It's a five point feature! =D

    Neko stared at Carmen, her eyes going wide. She backed up, turning her body sideways, tail going up. Suddenly she ran to the rear of the corridor, feet pounding past the other two girls, and leaped up into the open window at the end of the hall. Crouching in the sill, she chittered loudly before diving out the window. Outside, she landed on her feet as she always did and ran over to the nearby tree. With an air of dainty elegance, she sat down beneath the branches and started licking the back of her hand before running it against her poofy white hair. Ugh. I think I blew it again! she thought disconsolantly. Quickly, she popped out her phone and began livestreaming. People following Catgirl Reacts got a popup message that quickly turned into Neko, sitting underneath a tree and looking downcast. "Hello, friends. It's my first day of senior year and I am sad." She gave the screen her saddest face, ears flattened on her head, and said "Does anyone have any ideas for how to cheer up...?"

    Oh no, the island is just as devastated as it is in our history. You find evidence that Cardenas has made several visits to the island. One of his energy companies, GeoCard, is trying to build a geothermal tap of the volcano - a project that had a great deal of publicity when it started a few years ago (the usual Internet buzz, appearance in sci-fi and science magazines, etc) but has had no reports of success -or of anything else - for some time. Montserrat is generally too small, too out of the way, and too poor to be of much interest to superheroes. Various Caribbean heroes have shown up to help during volcanic eruptions but for the most part, it's an area of the world with little metahuman activity. @Supercape, I am glad you asked that question - because here's what Echohead perceives...in a dream! <spoiler> You are a lone fly, buzzing along, envious of the beautiful butterflies. A smiling friend offers to bind you in a cocoon so you can transform just like the beautiful ones. As the binding wraps tight around you, you realize too late that your smiling friend was a spider - and you have let yourself be bound in its web. You look in a mirror and see - the face of Cardenas himself! And then you awaken. </spoiler>

    "He is good," offered Neko, quite an admission for a girl who could walk up an exterior drain pipe if she was so inclined - something both of them had seen at one time or another. Neko liked watching cricket, sitting perfectly still for hours with her yellow eyes wide, but preferred solo sports like gymnastics for her own entertainment. As Erik had warned her was a distinct possibility, there was no place to park the car close by, but none of them were particularly worried about walking a block in the evening in the West End. The buildings here were almost comforting now, so much less alien than the towering skyscrapers of downtown. She was too nervous to let Leon put his arm around her as they walked, so she slipped her hand in his, her fingers their usual warmth. "Erik has some very athletic boys in his classes," she said impishly. "Maybe you could come by and show him your moves." It was the tone of voice she used when she was trying to tease him into doing something very unwise.

    The flight out to the island was long, given the time it took for Echohead to conscript an AEGIS plane and the two of them to head out over open waters. (Eira opted to stay at home; she had repairs to conduct on herself, and wanted to continue dissecting the drone for more clues.) Their pilot, Carmen, was an older Latino woman in an AEGIS uniform, a friendly, professional face who let the experts to their own work as she flew the plane. It had been a while since anyone had visited Montserrat, according to the agent; a recent round of volcanic eruptions had led to another partial evacuation of the much-beleagured island. The heroes had time to make their plans, using a recent satellite map of the island. But where would they go?

    "The Lor do it all the time," said Ashley easily, watching relieved as her son settled into her sidekick's arms. "Gay and lesbian couples, interspecies couples, couples where nobody wants to get pregnant...they even do it when they have a population crisis." Her eyes shadowed for a moment before she went on, "Fa'Rua doesn't believe in getting pregnant and I can't get pregnant and be the Patriot, so we found a way to have a family of our own." She smiled at that, then admitted, "I don't want to tell people that. You know, that the Patriot just...took the easy way out, when there are so many people on Earth who can't have kids. I only did this because there was no other way."

    "Hm." Neko bumped heads with Leon, smiling. Youth indeed. Leon was bigger than her, and stronger, and had graduated from Claremont before she had. But she was six times his age or more; older even than the oldest elders he knew. That was mostly an interesting fact to consider, when she wasn't thinking about all the ways she did indeed feel old. In the back, once she was sitting next to Leon again, she gave Erik a hopeful smile. "He has his own money," she added, "and works...honestly."

    If the baby had been unsettled for his mother, he seemed very interested in Carmen, staring up at her with big baby blue eyes. "Oh thank God," Ashley muttered audibly. Should we buy more cat stuff? Getting tired of the spaceman theme in his bedroom. "He's so good for Fa'Rua but he's still a little pistol for maman. Do you want to hold him?" she asked. She wouldn't hand her adopted son off to just anybody, but she knew she could trust Carmen. "He's just with her most of the time," she added, "so they're just bosom buddies." She smiled a little tightly. "He's actually, ah, the clone of her brother, which is where he got the ears. Good thing he's so cute," she added.

    Sea Devil squatted down by the dead dog, resting her trident on the ground next to her with a thump. There was so much she could have said. In her time she had killed and eaten dogs, feral, furred creatures that ventured too close to the water and found that there were things with far more teeth than them out there. That was before she had come to the Surface, and before she and Jessie had adopted Baxter. They'd had him for more than ten years now, a long time in the life of a dog. He didn't run and play as much as he once did, but he was probably asleep at Jessie's feet right now, giving her the emotional and physical comfort that nothing else could. In a few years he would be dead too, just like this dog. Just like almost everyone else. "Good boy," she croaked softly, tracing her armored three-fingered hand over the dog's fur. When she rose to her feet, she struck her trident against her armored chest once, twice, three times. "Are you here?" she bellowed suddenly. "Are you here? Come! Come and see!" If it was here, anywhere in the Park, she knew the thing would hear her.

    I haven't spent any HP so far, so I'll spend an HP to pass the Notice check. https://orokos.com/roll/992472 = 6 The survival I definitely failed, so I'll stick with that one! Can't win em all =D Like with Diamondlight, Sea Devil has enough super-senses that she's very hard to sneak up on.
