The guards didn't listen at first, instead opening up on the madman who had just murdered a prisoner and was evidently trying to make his escape. But the blasts from their armor couldn't penetrate Harrier's armored shell, his faceless head aimed at the ground as he concentrated on cutting a hole through the floor. When there was a pause in the blasts, he spoke with a voice gone sepulchral. "If you do not stand with me, you must stand against me. If I thought you had the power to impede me in my efforts, I would punish you for your alliance with the forces of evil." They did step back at that, letting the superheroes deal with what was obviously a super-crisis! For his part, the whistler didn't respond to Gabriel directly, instead watching the combat with fascination and narrowed eyes.

The guards cannot penetrate Harrier's Impervious, oh my. Miss A is up.

Welp. CT is up -
"You won't get me that easy, murderer! T-babies forever!" yelled Hammerhead in solidarity with the dodging, taunting Quickstep as he charged for Blue Jay, but the lumbering piscine T-baby was unable to catch the fleet-footed archer despite his sharp jagged teeth and reaching thick, muscular arms. He smelled of fish and blood, an unpleasant scent at any time but particularly not when Warp was caught in murderous mayhem and Blue Jay was just trying to get by and do her thing. He was yelling something, but the panicking, screaming crowd wasn't listening, and he was impossible to hear if you weren't on the stage. He was charging the bad guy without hesitating, but hadn't looked at his badly injured team: brave though he was, Hammerhead was obviously not the kind of leader you went to Claremont to become.

Go ahead and roll initiative, Darius, but you don't have to enter combat when you show up. maybe the Interceptors will be able to talk Ellie down!

hammerhead goes for Blue Jay! 17 And a miss! Blod is up.

I am a sucker who actually checked to see if that was such a thing! 20 That's enough to sneak up, yeah.

Fleur, GK, and Myrmidon

January 15, 2013 After 9 AM Fleur and Gaian Knight were conferring in Fleur's house over plans for the coming spring on Sanctuary when suddenly both their League alarms began beeping loudly; the urgent SOS call that bespoke total disaster. Hitting their mikes got a voice they didn't recognize, probably one of the League's security staff, yelling, "Emergency, emergency, it's Star Knight, she's gone crazy and she's-" The sound of a single devastating blast cut off the signal, which faded to static just as a malevolent feminine laugh came erupting through the speakers. There was no getting it back, not on any channel they used: Freedom Hall was under attack, and the signal from Earth-Prime was cut off! - Myrmidon was on his way to Freedom Hall when the roof blew off. An armored figure that certainly looked like Star Knight erupted out the hole in the top and fired a few more stray blasts into the now-roofless headquarters, the explosion shaking the ground beneath his boots as others echoed in the distance, alarms and screams breaking the bustle of a Freedom City morning. People were running from Freedom Hall in terror, tourists and uniformed Freedom League staffers alike, the uniformed agents at least doing their duty to help organize the evacuation. "Everybody get out!" one was yelling as debris from the ongoing explosions inside the building rained down on him. "Get out of this area and return to your homes, right now!"

The arrows rose and fell like rain, except this was rain where people died. In the crowd in front, razor-tipped steel shafts impaled a half-dozen policemen, spectators, and citizens, instantly killing the two cops closest to the stage and a previously-cheering middle-aged man in a Croatian-American T-shirt. If Walsh had been like most politicians, even more of the cops would have died because the bombardment was far worse on stage. An arrow passed through Congressman Walsh's chest and pinned him against the podium without a sound as he looked with wide eyes on the blood staining his white lapels; another hit the lurking Mr. M and knocked him right off the stage with an shaft in the stomach, while sharp-bladed bolts tore at the arms and legs of Hammerhead, only India Rubber's flexible body saving him from serious harm. Only Quickstep was unhurt of the T-babies, shouting her defiance as arrows vanished into teleport gateways before her, going who knew where. "Hah-hah! You won't get me, murderer!" she called. A moment later, just as the crowd began to panic, something unexpected happened. Congressman Walsh's only son, David, had been in and out of the news for involvement in his father's political campaigns and the public relationship with a leading flute player in the Freedom City orchestra. Dave was by all accounts the sort of blandly handsome, spoiled albeit well-meaning scion of power that came a dime a dozen to young men born to Washington stock. The father's character had not been inherited. Other things had, though. "Dad, NO!" Suddenly a surge of great golden light erupted from the younger Walsh's body, and the suited man rose up out of the crowd like an avenging angel! He didn't target any of the combatants, though, instead swooping down on his father at the podium. He gestured wildly and summoned a glowing pair of giant yellow hands that scooped up Walsh and the podium alike and the assembly of father, son, and debris began rising quickly in the air and towards the newly constructed St. Mark's hospital just down the street. Almost lost in the crowd came the startled exclamation of a security officer holding a radiation meter off in the corner, "Why, he's a T-baby!" It might have been a big story on any other day.

As the guards closed in, shouting an order to halt, Harrier's armor erupted from his body and encased him in cold grey Terminus steel. "Obstacles in my way. You should leave the prison now." He whipped his bloody pike around and fired a shot at the security table, incinerating several alarm panels and producing a shriek of feedback from the speakers. "EMERGENCY ALARM ACTIVATED - ALL CELLS IN PSYCH WARD OPENING." Miss A knew well enough what that was, the emergency systems installed years ago to make sure that prisoners didn't die in their cells in the event of a prison-wide fire or other natural disaster. Slowly the glass shields slid down and away from the bloodied cell that had once held the Steelgrave clone and the well-appointed cell-turned-dorm room that held the white-faced Singularity, and across the way the impervium began to drop first, revealing the long-occluded face of the Whistler. He proved to be a muscular man with long black hair turned grey and a goatee and mustache to match, his prison fatigues rolled up to reveal powerful arms covered in tattoos. He looked around in shock and calculation at first, then his eyes widened at the sight of a bloody-piked Omegadrone sharing the corridor with him. As the glass began to drop, Harrier's jet roared to life and he flew right through the group of guards, coming to a landing inside the open elevator car. He didn't press any buttons, but instead raised his pike and began to carve his way through the tough impervium alloy of the car's floor...

Go ahead and post IC, Az

Spoiler-free: Only the PCs already turned wrathful will do so. Not _too_ many NPCs will go wrathful, just enough that there are enough for PCs to have to deal with in their vignettes. You can still do a vignette if you're in a thread, just assume it's in interstitial time I will be posting additional (and spoilerly) content when PCs figure out the first levels of what's going on.

Harrier: Standard Action: Blast the security alarm, triggering the opening of all the cells in the psych ward Move Action: Fly inside the elevator shaft Gabriel is up as soon as I post IC.

Hammerhead's Tou save vs. 24: [urhttp]Injured and Bruised India Rubber's Tou save vs. 24: Unhurt Mr. M's Tou save vs 24: Injured, Bruised, and Staggered Blue Jay's arrows all miss Quickstep for some reason. Walsh: 8 Walsh is now dying; luckily he has the Diehard feat! Dave Walsh: 22 Dang it, now I have to make NPC posts. DW uses his move action to fly over to his father. He grabs him with his Telekinesis, and starts flying to the hospital as fast as he can. Mr. M uses his move action to retreat back behind and under the stage. Arichamus, I need a Tou save for Heraldo. Let's say, gosh, half a dozen people in the crowd are hit by arrows, half of them die. Kit is up as soon as I post IC.

Fixed. I'll post Tou saves when I get home.

Citizen: 18 OK: Notice at or over 20: -Sharl struck for the _gun_, not the man, but his hand passed through the first and electrified the second -Summers' corpse looks decidedly odd, but you'll have to get closer to figure out exactly how (i.e., actually describe looking) at or over 25: -Is that someone coming up the stairs!?!? Sense Motive at or over 20: -Sharl looked really scared when Summers started accusing him -He doesn't seem to believe the charges against him are true -He looks an exciting combination of baffled and horrified as he stands over Summers' electrocuted corpse. Disable Device: 28 is enough to either turn off the alarms or shut down Sharl's projector for a round, but not both. Initiative: Crimson Tiger: 24 Papercut: 17 Citizen: 17 Ghost Girl: 13 Wraith: 8 Glow: 8 Glow: 8 Go, Crimson Tiger, go!

As the crowd screamed in horror at the sight of a hero gone mad, suddenly there was a puff of smoke in the air in front of what was now the T-baby trio and a very familiar face appeared. Dorothy Langford was in black and red these days, having been expelled from Claremont and dropped off the radar, her new uniform cut like military fatigues. The girl raised her head and pointed at Blue Jay, calling out to the T-babies behind her. "Look what she did! She's a genocidal lunatic, just like all these psycho mundanes! They can't kill us without a fight! Come on, T-babies, I'm with you! It's time for vengeance!" And with a malevolent leer, she pointed to Warp. "I call dibs on the Judas goat who set us up to die!"
-
28 is enough to let him succeed in hitting Sharl's off button for the moment. I'll take an HP for the Complication, and choose to fail that Bluff roll by using Skill Mastery.
-
Are we in initiative? I dunno. Disable Device, Notice, Sense Motive, or Technology checks might also be prudent.
