Sekhmet is up.

Chosech gets: 14 So he's Dazzled.

The mystic wards around him flared to life as the shadowy blasts of Choshechs creatures slammed into the dhampir absorbing the blows leaving him unscathed. Magefire flaring in his fists as he glanced back to see Set and Sekhmet set upon by the shadows he shook his head, "No no no no." he murmured with worry as the Heliopians were staggered by the blows. All around him he could hear the cries of fear and pain, Woodsman Nighthawk and the other students far from the wavering light Sekhmet had called forth, above the one responsible for all this floated spouting it's nonsense about judgement and his eyes flashed glowing red as he shrugged off the burst of shadowy power sending so many to slumber. "The just man fears not the night." Ouroboros intoned darkly as he rushed back the few steps to Set and her guardian, "And we've had just about enough from you." he growled and planted his feet firmly on the ground in the center of the quad. Claremont academy and its precursor institutions intentionally or through happenstance had been built atop a nexus of several Ley Lines. To the mystically inclined they thrummed with power, and accordingly students were expressly forbidden from tapping into them. Huang had never been one for rules though. As he reached out and seized the powerful mystic energies suffusing the campus he lifted slightly into the air a swirling wind stirring his coat, "The lantern of heaven staves off the dark, as the light of righteousness scourges the unjust." the magus chanted voice echoing with power, "By the Beacon and the the Aegis, by the Light of the All-Seeing Eye, the Darkness shall be Banished and the unjust man laid bare. Light of Abbridon abjur this unnatural night!" As the final words of the spell were spoken a dazzling pulse of light flashed forth from the young sorcerer driving back the darkness and destroying the animate shadows where it struck. Above Ouroboros' outstretched hand hovered a brilliant beacon of golden light illuminating the quad as bright as day. Chosech stumbled and fell from the sky landing weakened but uninjured on the ground still cloaked in his own darkness though it warred against the shining light as the kneeling plaguebearer rose to his feet once more. "I'll keep this going you all take that bastard down." Ouroboros called as he strained against a power he was more conduit to than master of now.

Alright Ouroboros will use his Magic array to counter the darkness Ouroboros Power Check: 15 Hmmm not great. Reroll: 32 That is more like it. Choshech Power Check: 20 The darkness is dispelled over the central quad and just beyond eliminating the bulk of the animated shadows, Warlock and his imp head off to deal with the stragglers and protect any downed NPCs on the fringes leaving Woodsman, Nighthawk, Set and Sekhmet available to deal with Chosech. To lower my overhead I'm gonna say Ouroboros has to maintain his dispel to keep the darkness from encroaching again. Round Three 28 Woodsman (Unharmed, 2 HP)23 Sekhmet (Unharmed)22 Nighthawk (Unharmed, 2 HP)19 Set (Unharmed, 4 HP)17 Waverider (Unharmed, 1 HP)14 Choshech (Unharmed)7 Ouroboros (Unharmed, 0 HP) Woodsman is up once I get my IC up.

"Appalling might be overstating it." Ellis countered with a sigh, "Shockingly we didn't cover dimensional metaphysics in pre-med." he dryly replied. Scooting his scone in front of Ray he smirked, "There now it's your scone." Ray and leads on problems was probably not a good sign though Ellis perked slightly at the suggestion as at least it mean Ray had purpose here other than ruining his afternoon, or at least an excuse for ruining it. "That is not in question." he pointed out with a wry smirk but gestured agreement with Carsons question. "Well?" he inquired looking expectantly to the angel with a raised brow.

GM The shadow wrapped form of Choshech drifted high over the center of the large quad seeming to devour what light fell upon him in the unnatural twilight it had summoned. "The Night has fallen." the darkness intoned voice echoing in the chaotic quad, "Go gently to your final judgement and suffer not!" it commanded flinging arms wide as an aura of deeper darkness erupted as the shadows sapped the strength of the students standing to fight or fleeing it's wraithlike minions. Around the quad students and staff alike faltered and fell into unnatural repose as the evil above surged in power. Those in the buildings were safe perhaps for the time being but if not stopped who knows what horrors Choshech may yet unleash.

Alrighty getting this rolling again then. EP Take an HP to have your action for the round pre-empted (just so we can jump this forward a bit.) Choshech moves to roughly the middle of the quad though still airborne and performs an energy drain (Darkness Descriptor). touch range Burst area fatigue 10. So the usual reflex followed by fortitude, DC 20 He has enough progression everyone is caught in the area. The NPCs in the quad all succumb and fall to slumber where they had been fleeing. This will also function as an out for anyone wanting to step out of the thread or has left since we started they can either succumb or try to get sleeping NPCs to safety and go off screen. Ouroboros Reflex: 11 Ouroboros Fortitude: 23 (unaffected) I'll give till tomorrow night to get saves up then post for Ouroboros and move us forward.

Xavier can hit a 30 on each taking ten (Or with skill mastery)

Kimo rode the waves in behind the boat trying his best not to visibly roll his eyes at the nonsense on deck. "It no bodda." Kanunu assured the Captain as he made his way toward the coast guard officers coming in, "An warn dem bout da new shoals yea?" he requested as he stepped into the surf and let a wave carry him up and over out of easy earshot of the fanatics and their incessant blather. As Volcanic joined him he smiled a wide congratulatory smile, "See good work done." he complemented her and his own efforts and shrugged vaguely at the crazies below, "Uh yea dat might be a good plan." he murmured in response, "She gonna need some help or she gonna hurt a body." he warned as he stared down at the 'new god', "an she maybe hit her head when dat boat go down." he smirked as he tried to lighten the mood before his aunts rumbling temper erupted. "We could just let em know an go yea?" he asked hopefully though he realized they'd probably have to stay even if her weirdo boyfriend wasn't the one coming out.

Ellis stared at Ray with disbelief though less in the tattooists words and more in what had happened to his life that he was sitting in a coffeeshop with an angel espousing the virtues of Roller Derby of all things. "I'm almost positive none of that is even a little bit true." he replied but held up a hand before he got further argument on the matter. "Regardless I'm not taking Stesha to Roller Derby on a date." he said firmly though glanced not as subtly as he thought at Carson to gauge if the angel might actually be right. He was distracted enough by the concern that he didn't really pick up on the undertones of the conversation or posturing and refocused to blink at Carson in confusion, "Horse?" he asked as he tried to work backward through the conversation, "How would a horse help with ..." he shrugged, "You know what I probably don't need to know." he affirmed as the only uses for animals in most rituals he was aware of was sacrificial and he wanted to like Carson.

"Oh well you're a slippery one aren't you." Ouroboros grimaced as the speedy hero squirmed free of his mystic grasp. The element of surprise was largely gone now of course which would not make things easier of course. "But maybe." the teen sorcerer murmured thoughtfully. With a wave of his hand the shadowy limbs faded from view as he drew himself up gathering mystic energies to him as he shaped the spell in his mind. "The scroll is enchanted." He called out to his cohort grasping the artifact in question, "As for you." he turned his focus fully then on the speedy invader. "CUM PROCUL POTEST AEDIFICARE CARCERE!" The mystic intoned the sorcerous incantation as the energies he gathered to him sprung forth in shimmering walls of blue white power the planes and bars slamming into a glowing eldritch cell where moments before the interloper had stood, "Dui!" Ouroboros spat as the thief evaded another of his spells.

lol well I am attackign his strengths kinda

Alrighty then he's quick! Free Action: Switch magic Array to force constructs. Standard Action: Try to trap him inside a magic cage DC 22 Reflex Save to evade the cage as it forms around him. Mabe that'll work better.

As the grapnel flew forth to snare the artifact from the would be thief's grasp Ouroboros silently coalesced in the shadows opposite Nevermore. "That does not belong to you." the shadowy magus intoned with a haunting echo to his voice as he stepped from the darkened corner and flung out a hand and chanted his incantation, "IN UMBRAA MANUUS HESHEM!" the words of power echoing darkly from the walls of the high ceilinged vault as he invoked the hidden goddess. His command drew forth shadowy hands from the ground and pooled shadows along the walls the mass of grasping limbs snaked across the floor and through the air unerringly to ensnare the interloper in their chill grip coming from all directions at once it seemed as they grasped and attempted to restrain the target of their masters wrath closing around the thief as Ouroboros closed his fist.

Alright for Ouroboros Free Action: reform Move Action: Fast Demoralize 1d20+5=22 Standard Action: Use his Mage hand power to initiate a grapple with the now artifact-less thief. Attack roll 1d20+12=26 Grapple Check: 1d20+16=19 Welp that could have gone better. Ah well the night is young.

Ellis let out a beleaguered sigh at Rays rejoinder, "Scone based dominance." he replied disbelievingly. "You're insane you know that right." he pointed out and smiled vaguely to Carson as he took another sip of his coffee only to sputter awkwardly when Ray outed the interest as clearly otherworldly. He was quietly thankful that Carson was in the apparent know regarding, well everything it seemed. "Some people maintain a more circumspect public front you know." he scolded and huffed with an apologetic shrug to Carson. "The offer is most appreciated gentlemen." he assured them both though the look he gave Ray made clear that was only half true. "My sister usually keeps an eye on the kids." he explained quickly, "Though it might be convenient to have them all in one place certainly." he did acknowledge and raised a brow at Ray, "No. Not everyone likes Roller Derby Ray." he countered and shook his head, "And frankly I imagine our day to day is plenty of excitement." he pointed out as it was in the open now they were all in the know about the heroic side of his and Steshas lives. Because clearly one accustomed to the daring do of day to day life in the Freedom League wanted quite dinners and mild coffee dates right?

Well Improved disarm is ranked. So it might be worth statting out the gadget and getting like 5 ranks of each (Improved Disarm and Extended Reach). That'll give you a +16 (+21 with the crit) to your disarm out to a 30' range.

In case AA's clever edit was missed the Vignette has been extend through the end of September. So if you ran out of time in August you can still get your puppet on!

"Thank you." Xavier replied to the musician dropping a fifty in his hat with a nod, "Maybe find someplace quiet to hole up for a few days." he suggested as his eyes wandered to Barneys once more, "Somewhere more worth your music maybe." he added with a slight smile as he walked away to find a secure and hidden vantage to watch the bar and evaluate his best course of action. Van is obvious in its utility for body disposal and worse. Bar likely has police protection no good tipping them off. Cameras, no access during operation. Van most likely point of egress with restrained, or unresponsive person. "Or dead." he admitted in a whisper on the smog choked breeze where he huddled out of sight. But patience was something Xavier did have, even if time may be short. Time to watch the coming and going out the entrances and exits and make sure he could investigate undetected as he crept to the Van to find out where it had been. He checked the tires for markings, the undercarriage, side panels and even tried to quietly examine the roof. Inside was a greater risk but also perhaps greater reward he considered for a moment as his gloved hand lingered on the handle as he decided whether or not to risk even trying it. In this neighborhood there was no reason for the property of the Rock and his gang to be locked, but still...

Ellis raised a brow at the stolen bite of scone and shook his head, "Yes belittle our polite conversation while playing dominance games like sullen teen.: he scolded lightly and rolled his eyes, "I noticed some of Ray's tattoos might be of interest to one of Stesha's," he paused and shrugged, "Coworkers and called to get an opinion on them." he explained cagily not wanting to reveal too much of how he'd ID'd the disguised enochian script enveloping the tattooed mans torso. Turning his attention then to Carson he smiled warmly, "Just a little." he agreed, "I won't tell." he added with a small laugh, "Probably." He shrugged and returned to the topic at hand to offer, "My sister has assured me if I mess this up she's not going to forgive me." as his younger sibling was more invested than really he felt was reasonable in him getting 'back in the game'.
