    Round 2: Sage is fatigued and out of HP. Citizen is injured. Protector, Rustbelt, and Black Goat will be acting after Papercut thanks to holding their initiative. Wraith is entangled until her own turn. Blitzen is up. He misses Citizen and since he wasn't expecting to fight an Insubstantial target, I'll say he plows right through him and hits the wall! KD, Corbin can renter the fight now.

    All right, I want to give Torque a chance to weigh in, though I know Cy has been very busy. For the moment, why don't you guys all post what you're doing (with any skill rolls that seem relevant), and then I'll take you up into space?

    Citizen had been about to tell everyone off for fighting, particularly over their stupid political divisions, but luckily by the time anyone looked his way the incipient argument had seemed to stop before it started. After a moment's pause, he added, "I'm staying too. Quitting now would be the first step towards anarchy; towards letting her win." Now that he'd finished his conversation with Miss Americana, Sharl found himself glancing up sometimes as well, as if expecting the subject of his childhood lessons to come boiling out of space right there and devour them all. He had no idea what a nanite swarm would do to his projected consciousness, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be good. "The only way we're going to save this world is if all of us work together, and that means we do this right now. I'm sorry we've been trouble, Lady Liberty." The patriotic heroine nodded at that, seemingly satisfied with everyone's answer, even Sage's and Papercut's. And with that, barring any further questions, she gave a quick tour of the building to Young Freedom, showing them how to activate the Hall's defenses from the security station, what areas would need special protection, and all the rest. Despite the small group of chanting protesters outside, this posting looked like it would actually be surprisingly dull. The Hall was something of an urban fortress, extending underground and above; down below were the monitoring room and other high-tech wonders like Raven's computer, above was the statuary hall Kimber had found. It certainly wasn't a bad place to spend the end of the world, if it came to that.

    Durf, Ace recognizes the pattern of the lightning strikes. When you sketch them out, they make the Old Norse sign for D-O-N-A-R.

    "We are saving who we can and what we can, against a disaster that we all pray will not come," said the angel with his usual honesty. "Every day, whether in green hood or divine armor, you and I and all the others go out and fight for mankind. Not because we expect to win every battle that first day, not even because we believe we can triumph over all evils. But because there is a need, and we are there to fill it." He sighed. "As for the current threat, humanity has faced extinction before and survived. I have faith that mankind will save the Earth. But faith is no bar to action; the kind of action we are taking right now."

    By the time the last evacuation group of the day had been transferred over to Sanctuary, Amaryllis had needed a diaper change and a feeding. Freedom Angel hadn't flagged in his tireless efforts to keep the evacuees calm and ordered, taking advantage of an angel's endurance as best he could. He'd sent through what congregants of his own he'd managed to volunteer, making the choice of sacrifice and salvation that his maker had made so many centuries earlier, but it was still a stressful time even for a messenger of the Almighty. "All right, I believe we are just waiting for the other heroes, and then we can all slip the bonds of this globe for yours for the night. Are you well?" he asked Fleur solicitously. "Do you need to recuperate?"

    Go ahead and make that Reflex save, Fox, and have an HP for bringing it up!

    With his +13 Sense Motive, he passes the demoralization automatically. (21:25:25) System: AvengerAssembled rolls 1d20 and gets 15. +6 Fort save=21. He is undrained.

    Lady Liberty gave Papercut a searching look, as if trying to sort out the meaning behind the boy's question. "Because right now, every resource on the Lighthouse is being used to its utmost to try and save every city on Earth from the Gorgon. We've got half the space-scientists on Earth up there, and more equipment arriving by the day for orbital cannons, emergency transporters, and everything else our best and brightest can come up with." She cocked her head, nodding towards the pictured manifest on the briefing room screen of all the Hall held right now. "If we had the time, we'd move all these well out of reach, if we had the people, we'd put adult heroes in here to guard this. We have weapons here that could change the balance of powers in wars; we have computers that store secret identities and classified information that could jeopardize the world if it got out. But we don't have the time to move it or destroy it, and we don't have the adults to guard. The only way we're going to marshal the resources so that everyone can help save the world this week is for all of us to work together."

    Neither Koshiro nor Eve are snared. Ghost Girl is up.

    Sorus, This is an area attack, so I don't think the Concealment miss chance applies. He's doing the mechanical equivalent of throwing a grenade into the space where she's standing, so her being invisible wouldn't matter. Might I suggest spending an HP on one of those Reflex saves instead if you don't want Snared? She'll autopass with an HP.

    Though he wasn't scheduled to be part of the space mission, Citizen was there on Miss Americana's behalf, the lovely heroine having been temporarily distracted with a project of her own. "She's building a dimensional projector," he explained shortly. "For mass evacuation, if it becomes necessary." That was all true, but it was hardly necessary to dwell on _what_ was being evacuated to another dimensional axis: namely, Sharl's home city and the technological systems necessary to maintain it. "She'll stop by if necessary. All right, do you guys have a ship built?" he asked with a glance over at the members of the group not spaceworthy. "I guess you can probably get a Pegasus from the League and soup it up in a hurry if necessary..."

    The reassuring words from the beloved duo seemed to calm the crowd, thus deflating the incipient riot that had been about to blossom. Whatever PR problems Jack and Jill might have with the rest of the city, this was their turf and these were their people, and there were no heroes with a better claim to being the champions of the West End than the Espadas siblings. But given the mood of the day, the crowd was still worrisome: while the match had been blown out, the gasoline was still there. From the crowd, though, someone (the press was too dense to tell who) did call out a question. "How do you know they're not just playing you, Jack?" came the cry, loud enough for everyone to hear. "What if they've sold out the heroes who care about the common man and left you here to die with the rest of us? Where are the rest of the Interceptors? Aren't there any heroes left who care about the people on the street?"

    With no questions to ask, Sharl concentrated on his quiet radio communication with Miss Americana, with whom he'd had to part company while he took up a position alongside his friends. She'd helped him move Tronik somewhere safer than this dimension, and it had been great working with his best friend again. But he had to worry about Claremont now, for all that his room there had hardly been used. " When that was done, he tentatively did ask Lady Liberty, "How long can you stay here?" "I'm leaving as soon as we're done," said the all-American heroine seriously. "There are riots in Washington, especially now that the President and Congress have evacuated, and the Arsenal of Freedom has been pushed to their limit. I'm going down there to make sure we still have a government to come back to when we're done. Are there any questions?" she asked the group again.

    September 21, 2011 Freedom Hall Under normal circumstances, Freedom Hall might be evacuating through the teleporters rather than through the garden, but then it was only recently that Freedom Hall had gained the services of the famous Fleur de Joie. Lacking the power to journey into space, and having freshly returned from his unsuccessful visit to Heaven, Freedom Angel was focused on the people now, moving through the small crowd of citizens who had been called up as part of the League's emergency evacuation program: there were heroes' families here and dependents, a sampling of survival experts and doctors, anybody who could help set up a camp on an alien world and maintain it long enough for the heroes of Freedom City to save the day. "God is watching everything we do," Freedom Angel assured the small group of families; mostly Navy families from Lonely Point, who were next on the list, "and He watches over us even now. Have no doubt that with His guidance and with the courage and skill of the Freedom League and the other heroes of the world, we will save this planet and everyone on it." "So why do we have to go?" asked a combative-looking girl of about 12, giving the angel a suspicious look. "If everything's going to be okay, why can't I stay with my mom?" Her dad was holding her, hands on her shoulders, but it looked like he had questions for the angel as well, and even as he heard the little fwoop that signaled a successful transfer of the other group, the angel knew he had to say something to satisfy these frightened people. "Because we need your mom to help save the world," replied the angel seriously. "The base at Lonely Point is helping coordinate the League's war with the Gorgon and her creatures in the depths of space. And if your mom knows, and if all your families know," he added, speaking now to the larger group, "they'll be able to concentrate on helping save the world, not just worrying about the ones they love. It's a tough duty," he added. "I know you would rather stay here with the ones you love. But this is a sacrifice we have to make the world that we know and love can be guarded. Sanctuary is a fine, green place," he promised the others as he opened the garden door. "You will love it. Fleur, are we ready for the next group?" he called.

    Harrier is going to go ahead and All-Out Attack while taking 10 with these guys, inflicting a DC 28 Tou save on as many as possible with his Takedown Attack.

    'Caradoc' could stand any bombardment if it meant helping his friends defeat this mechanical threat, particularly one that caused him no pain. "Ye have trespassed against the might of Camelot and the knights of Arthur!" exclaimed the former Omegadrone, drawing on the Saturday morning cartoons he had watched to research his character's mythological upbringing. He was very heated about it, even if something did seem just a little off to the watching heroes. "Ye shall be smited as would a dragon smite a knight!" And with that, he flew down towards the group below, glowing 'sword' in hand, ready to do battle with the robots here rather than at the heart of the nuclear plant!

    There was dead silence as the heroes processed the sudden betrayal by their new acquaintance, and as the villains gloated over the new addition to their ranks. "Goddamnit," Citizen spat, turning around to shake his fist at Papercut. "I'm getting my ass kicked on your behalf here!" "Smart move, switching to the top dog," said Protector with jovial menace as he extended an armored hand to Papercut. "Don't worry, we'll go easy on the kids. I just had to have Firehawk fry your friend there in order to make an example of-" "Are you crazy!?!" spat Rustbelt, looking up at the others with something unreadable in his blank grey eyes, which close up were about the exact same color as an abandoned factory. "Don't let some punk off the streets play you! Kid, let me show you why you'd better change sides for real!" And with that, the street beneath their feet suddenly seemed to grow and swell like an expanding jelly, cement reaching up to harden beneath the feet of all the young heroes. "This is MY city, and don't you forget it!" "No, don't you hurt him!" yelled Black Goat, flying down to grab Rustbelt's arm. "Do you know how long I've waited to have a pretty boy to play with!?! This town is full of old fogeys and cokeheads who have no idea how to please a lady!" Whatever the moral merits of Koshiro's putative defection, he'd certainly gotten the villains arguing with each other instead of blasting the kids!

    All but Rustbelt fails Since everyone else has been suckered in by Papercut, Rustbelt's the only one who's going to take any action. He knows he'll get in trouble if he hurts somebody Black Goat has a thing for, so instead he'll just snare him and the rest. I need a DC 20 Reflex save from everybody in front of the jail (this doesn't apply to Koshiro's family, since CT is getting them out of the way, and CT himself is busy doing that) vs. a Rank 10 Area Snare. (That also means that Evasion and such applies to avoid getting hit in the first place). Selective Attacks work by default, so he can take a stab at hitting invisible people even if he can't see them. This doesn't apply to Sharl and Kimber, of course, since Rustbelt doesn't have Affects Insubstantial on his Snare. Go ahead and make those saves, and Ghost Girl is up. Remember you're making the save vs. the Area attack and _then_ the save vs. the Snare.

    Anyone in the party who can read Old Norse? (I'm not around my good computer and can't peek at sheets right now) If you don't read Old Norse, I need a DC 25 Arcane Lore/DC 20 Theology and Philosophy check.

    The world-threatening apocalypse hadn't done much for Mark's peace of mind, particularly given his role as a putative protector of global peace. However, despite his great power, his youth and inexperience meant he just wasn't trusted with UNISON's big plans for how they were planning to ride out the disaster: he was on call, ready to step back to Geneva at a moment's notice, but he had enough free time to work with his friends and comrades here in his real home. Normally a trip to the Midnight Manor was a subject for squeeing and peeking around under the watchful eye of its usual inhabitants, but not when a serious emergency threatened. Instead he focused on the map and the data there, trying to make sense of things he honestly knew nothing about. "It's strange that there should be so much happening in North Bay," he hazarded. "I mean, you're not particularly high up, and I don't think there's a lot of conductive material around..." Well, except in places like Danger Manor and the Midnight Manor, but they hadn't been the targets of the storms to begin with.

    September 26, 2011 9 AM The first mission of the new Young Freedom, at least upon their return from their world tour, was to guard Freedom Hall during what just might be the end of the world. Headmaster Summers, and the older students, had reassured the new kids that this was in the finest tradition of Claremont's premiere teen hero team. Sharl had been away for the last couple of days, and so he'd missed all those reassurances about what kinds of threats Young Freedom had faced before. Of course, for those students not used to world-threatening disasters, those words were not reassuring. What had been reassuring, in a martial sort of way, was the stern speech they'd all gotten from Lady Liberty before she and the rest of the Freedom League had departed. "Listen, all of you. I know you're teenagers, and I know you didn't sign up for this." She'd paced back and forth in front of all of them, meeting each gaze, even the ones who looked away. "But the world's in peril right now, and that means it's time for all of us who can help to do our part. The world's going to be saved, I can promise you that, but it's going to take each and every one of you to do that. The Freedom League needs to go into space to help organize our defenses on the Moon against the Gorgon. That means someone needs to watch Freedom Hall and make sure none of the artifacts here fall into the hands of supervillains. The last thing we need is a world where we've beaten the Gorgon but lost our homes to supervillains who've seized control of some of the most powerful items in the world. Are there any questions?" she asked them. "If any of you do want to back out now, now's the time." They'd have an adult chaperone for this one; Mr. Archer having left the gym behind to act as their guardian while they guarded the centerpiece of hero history in Freedom City. Things weren't pleasant outside, not with the demonstrators protesting the League's 'inaction', nor the continuing violence in the streets that Freedom City's adult heroes were doing their best to handle. Hell, there'd been an outright battle near the Claremont campus between the Irregulars and a Claremont graduate who'd gone berserk from the stress! Inside the League's briefing room, though, all was quiet as Lady Liberty's question echoed in the room.

    North Bay September 22, 2011 While interstellar monsters weren't the specialty of anyone on the Liberty League these days, the new superteam was on high alert as the Gorgon's approach brought a dawning chaos the world. They'd only been back from Switzerland a few days, but those had been busy days for many of them between the Gorgon's coming, Edge's visit home, and of course various changes in Wander's general lifestyle. The wealthiest neighborhoods in town had so far avoided the panic beginning to gnaw at the poorer areas of the city, or at least that panic had been confined to the interiors of beautiful mansions rather than on the wide streets. North Bay, the home neighborhood of Ace Danger and the Midnights, had locally been the scene of one particular set of bizarre local disasters: localized thunderstorms had rocked the area for nearly 48 hours, flooding the streets, blowing tiles off roofs, and worst of all setting several homes ablaze as lightning strikes rocketed down from the sky in the middle of the 'North Bay storms' as the news was calling them. No one had died, yet, but several people had been hospitalized from electrical shock and at least one home, the Munoz manor near the waterfront, had burned to the ground with total loss of property. It couldn't be a coincidence, and so the new team had gathered together beneath Midnight Manor to discuss evidence and options.
