Should probably get the bouts started, plenty of opportunity for banter during the bouts and we'll need to get started if we want to wrap this by the end of the month :D

Added a base super-strength effect mostly to base the super strength power feats off of without having to pay for them out of the dynamic array every time he uses any super-strength. Added an Immovable/Instobable DAP to the Paragon array and raised the whole thing so that he can hit rank 19-20 in a given power if focused on one AP. Pretty standard Paragon stuff all around really. Not as tightly focused as a powerhouse but can pull a some other tricks out when needed.

The bolt of eldricht force slammed into the creature sending chunks of dead flesh and ichor flying though the creature seems largely uneffected by the loss its undead frame continueing to struggle ineffectively to free itself from Atlas' vise like grip. The zombies surge forward once more to surround Dead Head and those nearest the Revoltin' Revnant swing mighty undead arms to pummel his corpsen shell.

Actually Understand and speak any language 1 at a time is 1 point. If he wanted to understand all languages at all times and speak one at a time and read them all it would be 3 points. As he can only understand one at a time its 2 points IIRC.

Toughness save DC 31 (1d20+18=38) Yea IC is spitting out all its 20s RIGHT NOW. OK 2 Zombies are in range and attack Dead Head Zombies attack; DC 28 toughness save (1d20+3=14, 1d20+3=16) Remaining Zombies lurch forward to suround Dead Head once more. Round Three 22 - The Creature - Injured, Staggered, and Stunned 21 - Dead Head 3 HP - Unharmed 19 - Avenger 2 HP - Unharmed 14 - Atlas 4 HP - Unharmed 6 - Cultists - 9 Remain 1 - Phantom 1 Hp - Unharmed Last - Zombies - 15 Remain Creature is once again stunned Dead Head is up.

"I was indeed." Ace replied while still peering at the empty lobby. "I must admit it is not the welcome I was expecting either." Ace quickly examined the entryway once more hoping something other than the emptyness of the hall would stand out. "Normally the lobby is fully staffed if not downright busy at this hour." Ace added curiously. "Well as my father used to say never overlook the obvious." And he pressed the call button, non-chalantly leaning down to anounce their arrival.

Phantom, but she's found romance novel e-books so who knows when she'll post :D

Ok some of the numbers seem off by my count you have 19pp free +8 (Con drop) +12 (Immunities dropped) -31 (Fort Immunity) -9 (+9 Protection) = -1 (One point short)

Ace hadn't been exactly surprised when the invatation came, he had been lobbying for just such an arrangement for some time, However he was pleasantly surprised that it was not a matter of some minor functionary but a renowned League member such as Lady Liberty that would be hosting the event. Ace prepared himself gathering all the tools he thought he might need for their testing as well as a few that they might not, never hurt to be prepared after all. Then he slipped on his trademark fedora and bomber jacket and drove himself Freedom Hall arriving shortly after the angel of Lantern Hill. He strode up the steps with purpose and greeted the newcomer, "Hi there, Ace Danger." He offered his hand to the Angel as he introduced himself, "You must be Heyzel." As he spoke he took in the scene with a carefull eye. This was not Ace's first visit to Freedom Hall and the empty lobby certainly seemed odd to say the least.

the full power of Avengers vampric nature crushed the will of the cultist easily, the amulet slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor the cultist silently awaiting his new masters command. Atlas's crushing blow connected with a sickening snap of bone and sinew as the creature staggered back under the force of the strike. Atlas was easily able to throw the stunned creature to the ground while it was still realing from the mighty heros' attack. As the creature looked to be bested the Cultists turned thier attention to the heroes themselves summoning fell bolts of shodowy force that they hurled forth with deadly intent. The volley of mystic energy snaked home to impact against Atlas and Dead Heads sturdy frames and wizzed past avengers head to slam into the wall behind him, even Phantoms insubstantial form was effected by one of the cultists attacks.

It is indeed magical.

1d20+19=22 Stunned and Staggered from the hit so it'll autofail the grapple check (stunned) Avengers mindcontrol is unbeatable for the Cultist. Two each, Phantom, Atlas(-4), Dead Head, Avenger(-4 one only). DC 23 Toughness (Affects insub 1, DC 19 Phantom) (1d20+12=17, 1d20+12=31, 1d20+12=28, 1d20+12=22, 1d20+12=22, 1d20+12=22, 1d20+12=15) So Phantom 1 hit DC 19 Atlas 2 hits DC 23 Dead Head 2 hits DC 23 Avenger no hits Phantom is up. IC post on the way.

Ace chuckled at the light banter of his fellow competitors and had to agree that seeing grim face off against Jack would be a rather entertaining match. "Well," He said with a sly half smile, "As much as it pains me not to get a shot at the big man himself, Ladies first." He bowed lightly to Fulcrum turning to Colt, "So Cowboy, you think you can handle yourself without the peashooters." he said in good natured challenge.

Mike bobbed his head and waved awkwardly at Alexs introduction not entirely certain what exactly the appropriate response was to meeting an Angel. When Quark took the stand and explained his problem his mouth dropped open in shock, after the invasion he of course realized that demons and whatnot were quite real but to hear that someone he passed in the halls had actually lost thier soul to one was shocking indeed. As Heyzeal contradicted his classmate Mike grew somewhat more comfortable but still uncertain how this woudl all go down he looked to Alex questioningly, 'Please say he's not going for smiteing. I don't even want to think about havign to fight an angel.'

Mike nodded his agreement, "Of course we'll help." He said with more confidence than he usually showed for this kind of work. Glancing down at Alex he chuckled softly, "And Psyche's right if we need anything heavy lifted up high I'm your man." He said with a smile. As Alex puzzled over the readouts he looked to Mark as resident super hero expert. "So what kind of forces are we thinking it would take to capture the White Lion? He's pretty tough isn't he?"

Alderwitch and I are out of town till sunday night so more limited internets access than usual till then.

Mike shrugged and began singing in earnest Alex was right afterall. Even if he wasn't the genuine article if his intentions were pure what did it really matter? When the angel spoke Mike was glad that he seemed more new testament than old. The vengfull god thign was really ht last thing they needed at this point. Showing the world what ti meant to live a just life on the otherhand was somethign he could get behind.

Mike tensed slightly as the 'angel' appeard, after the interdimensional hijinks of late he was a bit on edge but whether angel or mutant playing a prank he seemed peaceful enough. He silently inquired of Alex, 'IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?' and kept himself ready just in case but soon found his voice once more and joined into the song.

Just before the service began Mike led Alex into a pew and seated himself next to a fellow student, Derrick? Darren? He couldn't rememebr exactly so settled on a polite nod and wished him "Merry Christmas." as he sat. He sat quietly through the sermons and agreed that Father Guimont did well given recent events in the city better than he likely realized. As the rest of the congregation stood to sing Mike joined in adding his low and mostly on key basso voice to the mix with a cheerfull grin.

Mike happily strolled alongside his girlfriend listening as best he could as she expounded on the intracacies of the various theological topics that had occupied so much of her recent time. Wandering the streets in a T-shirt and jeans did draw him some strange looks but after the events of holloween he had outgrown his coats and hadn't really had time to get a new one. He was fairly certain that would be under the tree this year anyway. "So even here was shifted over?" He asked as she paused, "I'd think if anywhere would be sfe it would be a place like this."

'Or not.' Ace thought as Derrick began to panic. "No, No, nothing like that." he assured his friend. Well no point in diggging the whole deeper, "She called asking for some advice about a delicate situation this morning. I assumed that she would have told you by now." Ace explained. "She was looking for a doctor specializing in meta-humans, particularly for, ahem, ladies issues." He didn't really feel too comfortable discussing the matter with Derrick and realized this may have been why Stesha put off the conversation to have it face to face. "So nothing to worry about but you should probably go see her. I didn't mean to but in, its a personal matter between the two of you." He assured his worried friend. "She probably just wanted to tell you face to face."

Ace paused at that, it had never occured to him that Stesha wouldn't have told him keeping a secret like that even until the afternoon wasn't in her character. "Uhm, well I seem to have been misinformed that'll teach you to listen to rumors." Ace covered with less than his usual aplomb. "Have you talked to Stesha this morning? If you have time you should go see her I, uh, think." he added as if changing the subject. Ace wasn't certain what was going on but figured the two of them could best work it out face to face. It was rare that Ace was caught misinformed in such a manner so he was less refined in his covering for the gaffe than usual. Hopefully Dark Stars trademark naivete would cover for the confusion.

Aces voice was clearly recognizable across the line as he spoke, "Derrick, Hope I'm not distracting you from anything important." Ace was fairly certain he wasn't, though on second thought it did seem a little odd that Derrick was still there. Then again He did have a strong duty ethic and Stesha may well have just told him to finish up before heading home. "I just wanted to offer my congratulations on the happy event." He finished in a jovial tone.

After the mornings diversion Ace returned to the livingroom. Stesha had had plenty of time to get in touch with Derrick by now if he was in system and if Aces sources were right, and they usually were, the gravtic being was working on a project out at star island. Might as well be the first to congratulate the father to be and offer his support given the concerns Stesha undoubtedly had expressed. He flopped onto the couch and quickly dialed over to the research lead on the project not wanting to distract Derrick if the experiment was at a delicate stage. After a quick exchange of pleseantries he asked to speak to Dark Star.
