Lament "An excellent choice! A Kingly choice! The great ZOMBO approves. And now! I call upon the spirits of the nethereverweather realms, where the mysterious mysteries of mysterion do mysteriously mysterize!" The illusionary skeletons danced liked puppets on a string to emphasise the point. "Remember that card, Oh King, for it will soon traverse to the realms of the DEAAAAAAD!" he rumbled. He offered the pack of cards to the king, "please shuffle your kingly card into this card!"

GM "I swear I have no intent to harm these two!" said Lorenzo defiantly. "I can't swear no harm will come to them, for that it is a totally different matter and beyond any man's capability to swear!" He was proud. "Huh?" said Penny, eloquently and succinctly summarising her feelings. "Forgive me pedantry, but I am an alchemist! a botanist! a sorcerer! I am not diviner or peddler of gypsy fortunes!" he explained. "I cannot swear what the future will hold, but I have no intent to harm anybody right now. As long as I am released, that is. I may have the desire to knock this fools head once or twice..." he conceded, glaring at Neverboy. "But I am a man of reason rather than passions. Knocking his head would do me no good other than to make adversary, when I suspect I have no need to!" "On the stones and bones and my mother's tomatoes, I do swear no intent! And I can proudly say my mother had most excellent tomatoes!"

GM "Raised by the Pixies of Neverworld! I knew it! You had that smell about you!" said Lorenzo. "Not that I can smell any more, alas!" "Wow, Pixies!" said Penny, tearing off her hat. Her pixie ears showed. "I am the Puzzle Pixie! Mysterious, wise, and awesome!" she said, proudly. "Another one! Oh Cursed day! Will the insanity never stop!" groaned the Black Rose. "Who are you calling insane, buster!" retorted the Puzzle Pixie aka Penny Coin. "I'm not the one with a head that looks like a constipated fish bowl!" Quite what a constipated fish bowl looked like was anyones guess, but it did have a certain ring to it. "Fair point" conceded Lorenzo. "But it is precisly this malady that I seek to rectify! And these pixie chains are not helping matters!"

Starshot "I hope the fates are with you, Phalen. But I fear they are not" That was all he had to say to Phalen. It was not without sourness, for he did find the decision unpalatable. But he was firm and without regret. It was at least an honest decision, and sometimes that was all a man could make. "Lets give him what we can spare" he told Soreen. "He has chosen his path, and although it will be a short and brutish one, it is his to make. I would extend him some charity, but a man has to live with the consequences of his decisions, and so shall he" "I think we should now proceed as planned. We must understand what we face, and how to face it. The flyer may be too big for scouting, but it can at least take us partway..."

Flux Getting close to a singularity was a nervous business for anybody, at least if they knew what a Singularity was. Arguably Flux was one of the people most equipped to deal with them, but on the other hand he had an excellent grasp of what they could do. Like spaghettification. "Where's the station gone?" Or, more precisly, why couldn't they sense it? He rather doubted it was a sensor problem. But even so, it was best to be sure. With a frown of concentration, he opened up a quantum tunnel to the space-time region where the station had been, seeing if he could pick up a signal...

POST! Also, Flux is using ESP (Radio Senses) to detect anything from the stations (presumed) location, with his rather impressive radio senses!

GM Triborg flowed to a stop, his own magnetic powers grinding and screeching. He wobbled and spun, and managed to crawl two dozen yards further along the monorail, but then came to a stop. All he could do was plant his two feet on the rail itself and hope no train was a 'comin! So impaired, Gauss could easily catch up with him. "This man is a Foundry scientist!" he yelled at Gauss. "He's a crook, he's a villain! And I need him!"

Lets drop out of combat for a moment for some good old fashion talking!

GM It was not a difficult task, draining the residual terminus energy. Now that Ether was gone, the reactor was not stable, and was reverting to its normal experimental function. Unformfortable, perhaps. For there was a lot of energy left, and leeching it out was unpleasant, like draining pus from an abscess. Easy, but uncomfortable. Agent Lulu rushed in, doing her duty. The coast was clear, the building evacuated. "What happened?" she asked, scratching her head.

Thats a bit of a stretch to understand all of that, but you do get the feeling he is being honest at least.

GM "Thats a good a deal as Ill get" said Zip. "And...for what its worth, I'm sorry its you that got pulled into this mess" He scuttled off to Ether's unconscious body. "Come on then, mad professor! Its time you did your bit to save all existence, rather than your own skin" Zip started to fiddle with his own D-hopper gauntlet. "Delta, theres a great film in this era, isn't there? A classic thing about time travel and robots and cyborgs. What was that catchphrase now....hmmmm...." He gave one final cunnning smile to Delta, and a mischevious wink. "I'll be back!!!!" And then he and Ether were gone.

GM "As we are speaking frankly, yes, I did" replied Zip. He looked slightly ashamed. Not repentant, but ashamed. He started circling slowly towards Ether. "Contain him? I don't know. I'll figure something out" he said confidently. "The future has, as you may appreciate, many what you might call futuristic technologies. From your perspective, anyway. Not that things are that simple when the dimensions are all smashed together" He gave Delta an inquiring eye. "But this is a neat solution to our little predicament isn't it? A comprimise, you might say. I don't get exactly what I want, you don't get exactly what you want. But the multiverse survives..." "...I hope. At least, it gives it a chance of surviving...."

GM The Black Rose did not turn around. His glass domed helmet did not swivel. But the orange gas inside did reform, with his face now facing Oz. "Ah! A magician! A wizard! A sorcerer! Much better company! I am a pleased to meet you, Sir!" he said, politely, to Oz. "I plead your indulgence. Free me from this cursed fae!" he demanded. "Who you calling Fae?" blurted Penny, who fortunately at her ears concealed by Oz's costume. "Him! This wild and mad creature!" answered the Black Rose, kind of nodding towards Neverboy. "Do excuse my cheese golem!" he added with deference to Oz. "It is an experimental creature! The blue veins were most difficult to cultivate. But, I consider it a first step! A success, in a way, despite its massive failings - which I do not deny!"

ok so that automatically hits, as perception range. Gauss - 3 HP I think thats best handled as opposed flight vs telekenesis. Opposed Rolls: 2#1d20 13 15 which is actually a draw, but I think we should hand it to Gauss as arguably it should be his Power Rank x2. Post that IC if you will!

GM Zip considered the matter carefully. "I've seen what you can do. I don't fancy my chances in a fight" he started. "But on the other hand, its a chance I may have to take. I need that Terminus Energy. I'm prepared to lay down my life if I can stop Collapse. Or even just strike a blow against him" he said. "My only decision now is if I have a better chance of doing so if I walk away and try and get the energy from somewhere else. Or I get the energy from that reactor. Hell, I'd suck you clean dry if I had to" he said, ominously. "To be honest, I had planned to. Don't take offence. I set out the bait, I drew you in. Then it all went to hell as we went the long way around. Kind of got to like you. Would have regretted using you. But then, jackpot! Ether transformed this reactor for me...." He looked down at Ether. "Guess the Professor did me a favour" he said. Then the idea struck him. "And he's my best hope...."

GM "Sure, sure, keep the camera's rolling" said Blowfish to Justice. "TURN THEM OFF!" shouted Kidd. "Keep them rolling. See? Intimidation. Ill make a full confession, sure. At gun point...." laughed Blowfish. Poor Jackson didn't know where to point his camera. It wobbled this way and that. But Jack Jackson himself was in complete ecstacy. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would catch such incredible drama on camera! He was mentally imagining his prized and awards, the A list congratulating him on his bravery. A primetime show on Supervision... "Idiot!" said Kidd to Justice. He kept hold of his shotgun. "You think a confession is going to stand now?" "Give me that camera!" demanded Kidd of Jackson. He raised his shotgun just an inch towards Jackson. It wasn't quite pointing at Jackson. But it was intimidation. Again. Blowfish could not resist a smile at the way events were unfolding.

GM They were not scrap, but they were flying. That situation soon reversed. As the magnetic field whipped through the air, the two Foundry Robots spluttered and jerked, and their jets went cold. They had nothing to keep them in the air, so down, down, down they fell, and hit the streets below. Hard. Now they were not flying, and they were scrap. Triborg kept sailing away, his captive in one of his three mechanical arms, zipping along the monorail with a significant headstart...

Also for reference, Gauss is fatigued

I presume thats built as touch range, area extra! Some Reflex Rolls for the area effect 1st Reflex Saves: 4#1d20+3 4 7 17 16 actually only needed the first two, and both fail, so they get the full effect. They have no will save so its opposed nullify vs the power in question Opposed Rolls: 2#1d20 3 9 both bad rolls, but with your +7 nullify you can switch off their flight. THis causes them to fall, and its a big fall. So big, in fact, that I am going waive the tough save and let them perish on the streets below!

So I am not quite sure what to roll...but here are some numbers Perform Wind doesnt have skill mastery so just rolling that Perform Wind: 1d20+11 28 ill certainly be keeping that! [NB the sheet is wrond should be 4 (+11) ] Lament also has skill mastery in Sleight ogf Hand and Acting giving him a 27 and a 30 result respectively.

Lament A callous and cruel heart! But nevermind, he surpressed his anger. Part of him wanted to take the King over his knee and give him a jolly good spanking. Perhaps he would, one day. But not here, not now. This was his territory, and his court. He was fairly sure that the King would be no pushover, even one on one. "Very well then, oh great and powerful King!" He cleared his throught. How to elicit tears? or maybe just to entertain??? He took a pipe from a nearby elf and started playing an ominous lament. This was not his instrument of choice, but it would verily set the mood. In a flash, he turned into the great ZOMBO! voodoo magician and terrifically terrifying. "Behold! As I summon the spectres of the underworld!" Of course, he had the skill, but he chose to add a little void magic. Illusions of spectral skeletons arose from the ground. "Now then! Pick a card...any card!!!" And so the show began!

GM Zip did not drop his rifle, but he lowered it. "I'm not threatening you. You are threatening me! All of existance, in fact!" he said, spinning things around. "All I need is terminus energy. And lots of it" he said. "As for seeing my intentions...." "You can't" he explained simply. "The dimensional streams are locked. Those of us living under the tyrant can escape...with a lot of effort and only temprariliy. But you can't enter. At least, I haven't found a way to do so. Not that anyone would want to" "So I can't show you. I have no way to prove my intentions. But I am desperate! So would you be, in my shoes. You just have to trust me, since I am so very very clever!"

GM "No no no" protested Zip. "You can't see whats going to happen. You don't know what its like in the future. You will. And then you will be sorry" He pulled out his rifle. "I'm not going to become a tyrant. And even if I did, I wont be collapse. I could drain all the Nihilus energy in the multiverse but I won't be able to do what he does" he explained. "I'm sorry, I really am. But I need this energy. The multiverse needs this energy. Trust me. I know its dangerous, but its desperate times ahead" He grew more determined. "I need that energy. I've been searching for ages to find some. Subtle alterations here, subtle alterations there. All to probe the realities and the times before for a good source. Like you, for instance. You would have done fine. But now I have something even better...." "Please, can't you trust me on this?"

GM "Of course, your Kingliness!" said Lament, humble and modest in his bow. "I would, as I am sure you know, not give you replacement, for there could be no such replacement for a King's tears, and I would not give you forgery, for no such forgery would fool your Kingly senses!" "Now then, Sir, what form of entertainment seek ye?" he asked. "Or mayhap it is not entertainment you seek. What would you feel now, if you saw the lamentations of children? Perhaps we should see the children you stole? See what stirs in your heart then?"

Notice: 1d20+13 25 Sgt Shark has low light vision, although that wont help with full darkness. Other than that, accurate acute olfactory senses. Both visual and olfactory are extended 1 [x10 distance] If it comes down to it, he also has blind fight feat.
