  1. Mental Blast, DC 23 Will save - sorry, I had the effect wrong earlier.
  2. APPROVED
  3. Search is actually an INT - not WIS - skill.
  4. I don't know about the Enhanced Fort Save in an Array - was that on the original version of the character? (I don't want to tell you no if it was what you had before.)
  5. Sea Devil snorted as she smelled the air - a sound and deep echo like being close to a harbor seal. "We hunt," she agreed. "If not tonight, then another. It will not fool us." Deep Ones shared space with each other; a circle that Aquaria extended to her friends and to a lesser extent most of the people on the Surface. But not a fellow predator.
  6. Neko pointed at one of the attacking cyborgs and felt its mind burn in a fiery flash of claws and teeth while Owain stayed back, using his invisibility spell (and, frankly, prayers to Christ Jesus) to try and shield the civilians who hadn't yet gone below from the eyes of the Omegadrones. Neither of the pair looked particularly optimistic about where things were going.
  7. Neko bounced and chittered excitedly through the end of the movie, looking for a moment like she was going to leap right through the screen. When it was done, she flopped bonelessly on her back and looked up at the ones still on the couch, her hands resting against her cheeks and fingers in the air. "The blood is fake," she opined, "but that is a good movie. What do we have to eat?" she asked, looking thoroughly pitiful at the mere thought of the dinner she'd never had.
  8. The night before they left, Neko sat in front of the roaring fire that marked the center of the big celebration thrown for the students by their happy hosts. They hadn't solved all their problems, not by any means, but they'd saved the day - and each other - and their guide, so all in all one could call it a success. The fires were burning bright, reflected in her eyes, her tail twitching hypnotically back and forth. The younger students were safe in others' hands but she wasn't thinking about that by now - or much of anything else besides the reality. Erik, Min, the others. The therapists at Claremont, she thought. They all think you did something to me to make me like this. To make me laugh at bloody jokes and burn with anger so hot when someone hunts girls in the woods. She blinked her eyes, and seemed to see the second Crimson Katana come out of the fire. But that's not true. You are a monster. But you taught me to hunt. To kill. To be strong when everyone is weak. She blinked her eyes and seemed to be staring into the Katana's face. If I ever meet you again, you will die - again. But you taught me the truth. You taught me - to be strong.
  9. Neko uses her mental blast on the Elite drone, DC 18 Will save.
  10. What's his build with that height and those physical stats?
  11. APPROVED
  12. Character-focused content: THE BRIDE With a high enough approval rating, Aquaria confesses that she was so easy to hire for the main character's ship because of her scandalous reputation. She was engaged to be married to another Navigator but he fled, breaking their engagement "because he was WEAK" and causing a terrible scandal. As Aquaria is, by a wide margin, the filthiest and strangest Lady Navigator the player character has ever met, this is not particularly strange. An iconoclastic main character can court Aquaria themselves, culminating in a sweet romance scene underneath the waterfall in her section of the ship as her servants beat their drums and ululate. A dogmatic main character can help her track down and drag her would-be fiance back to the Emperor's altar, despite his pleas of "No! No! You don't know what she is! No!" (After the wedding she only smiles and says "oh he's much happier now" - in the game files he is listed as sleeping for the remainder of the narrative even if you run out the internal clock.) A heretical main character can encourage her to find him and eat him, producing a "Hahaha really? I suppose I could at that." that culminates in what she calls "The Feast of Bones" and various scenes that the game has to hide with showers of blood and chanting.
  13. APPROVED
  14. I think it may be @Dr Archeville again?
  15. Once she was done, the Patriot headed off-stage and out of the camera's eye. She thanked her staff for a job well-done, smiled at the text from her wife and son, and disappeared into her private washroom for a shower and a change of clothes. She had asked for, and gotten, a section of the stadium with several exits in private areas. This made it easy for a Eurasian woman of average height and muscular build, her red and blue hair the most shocking thing about her, to appear among the late arrivals in the stadium. (The hair was no worry here - after all, lots of people were wearing red white and blue on a scene where the Patriot had recently been.) Now if she could just find where she'd parked those teenagers! Still vibrating with the success of a big public move, she went looking.
  16. Okay! @Kaede Kimura, remember you can have the forcefield come on at any time. @Thevshi and @Dracostern, give me Notice checks - and Stealth/Bluff checks if you're trying to be sneaky, either in terms of stealth or pretending you're not scanning the upper tiers.
  17. A great many things happened at once. General Dalekos didn't actually land on the Deep One-occupied structure, evidently aware of the diplomatic difficulties of such a gesture - or perhaps because he could see the Surfacer super-powered teens watching him. "Why hello there, Ms. Aquaria!" he called to the wary erstwhile Deep One chieftan. "And the others. You've certainly attracted a great deal of attention today!" "You," said Sea Devil, her face hidden behind her armor's helm, her voice turned to a mechanical boom. "Come and see what we do!" she called, earning a rapid-fire series of croaks and bellows from her kin, scattered here and there throughout the tower, that might have been laughter. "Unless you are afraid." "So I can die like the other Atlanteans you've killed?" taunted Dalekos. "Or perhaps you'll put on a show for your Surface masters, hm? Let them see what tame Deep Ones look like." The crowd of Deep Ones, those that could understand English, anyway, didn't seem to like that idea - the crew outside could see several of their number hefting weapons as if considering a throw.
  18. Up on the mound, Ashley reflected back on her own past. She'd always preferred contact sports and target practice for her personal entertainment and fitness. But there had been a time, a long time ago, when Ashley Tran had been the captain of the 5th-6th grade girl's softball team. (That was one reason she made so much use of grenades in her combat with the rest of the Freedom League.) Thinking of her dad in the stands, cheering her on, she faltered for a barely perceptible instant before she stepped back into her throwing stance. This one's for you, Dad. New Orleans! She reared back and threw, a powerful fastball that rocketed from her hand and smack into the catcher's mitt. As the crowd cheered, she took a moment to blow a kiss towards the camera and yell "I love you, baby!" Her wife and son were watching too, after all.
  19. Physically and spiritually exhausted, the Patriot made somewhat lame farewells to the visiting Lor - though she made sure to check in on La Puma Negra and her new boyfriend before she left. She and Fleur de Joie took a ride together out of the Lighthouse, stepping through one of Fleur's portals and back home to her front lawn. Unsnapping her helmet, she walked inside and found her wife playing with their son, news about the Praetorians and Star-Khan playing on the television. An exhausted Ashley Tran dropped down on the couch next to her wife said simply, "Baby, I think we need some counseling."
  20. Neko followed the Hunter back to camp, at first not quite touching but keeping a close enough eye that he knew he was being watched. Gradually she moved back, the better to let him think there were no eyes on him. She did her part to pack up her things, and keep an eye on the new students too - and stuck close to Kazra, obviously still considering herself the former student's deputy. She hummed softly to herself as she worked, a Japanese song that wouldn't have meant anything to anyone left alive, pleased with herself but tired from her exertions.
