GM "<The Croc King lives in there>" said the upright child, pointing to the rusted Iron door that sealed the Concrete lump that was the old cold war base. "<Except...he is not always in there>" said one of the tangled up kids on the ground. The first child, who was probably the oldest and probably the bravest and probably the wisest of the three, nodded, confidence growing. "<Everyone thinks this is just made up stories. But we have seen him, at night, swimming in the Nile. There is another way in...under the water...>" he suggested, pointing at the Nile itself and its still waters. "<Sometimes, we see men go in and out of the door, too!>" yelled the smallest kid on the ground, excited. On closer inspection, the rusted door, while irrefutably rusted, and irrefutably iron, did show some signs of being used. There was no apparent way in, but it could be opened from the inside, presumably. "<They give a special knock...>" suggested the last child, clapping out a rhythm of five beats.

Starshot walked in, neither slowly or with haste, taking time to look at all the most peculiar and interesting junk and bric a brac that lined every available service, or, in one case, just hung in the air, wobbling slightly. "Uloc? Fariar Uloc?" he called out, brushing aside some beads that hung from the ceiling. He kept half an eye on Balus. They were here, but they did not know what they were here for. "We coming looking to buy" he called out, before turning his head to Balus. "Time to lay the cards on the table" he said to the servant.

Yup, that bonus is still in effect so lungs are still alive!

Do you want to post getting shocked, or move on?

GM Blood convulsed in pain, the low pressure torturing her body. Grunt, in his armour, marched to the interior door. He was not fast, but he was strong. A strength born of a race adapted to a hugely high gravity world, and his own will to exert it. He gritted his canines, and almost wrenched the door off its hinges, his squat body explosively straining against the metal and plastic. A rush of air, real air, hit the three bounty hunters once more, a blast of sweet sweet oxygen. Blood was weeping blood, and then turned over to emit a huge wracking cough of blood, her lung tissue ripped from the expanding air she had been holding on to. "Gaaah! It hurts!" she moaned, clutching herself in pain, rolling left and right.

Ok that works, you are now in a sealed environment. Grunt is going to manually open the engine room bulkhead (which I shall say he can do due to High G super strength!) Air comes rushing in, but lets give one more Fort Save from the vaccuum before we resume normal atmosphere! Could you throw me a last Fort Save. 1d20+6=8 Blood fails, and coughs up blood! She has -1 CON damage.

GM The three children looked up as the Van pulled to a halt, and stoped throwing mud and water at each other. They looked vaguely malnourished, possibly beggars or orphans. They also looked a little scared. "<Who are you? We are just playing...>" said one tentatively, nervous. The other two tried to hide behind each other, effectively doing a little dance to see who would win that fruitless contest. "<Nobody comes here! This is Crocodile kingdom!>" blurted the first nervous child. "<He is king of the Nile!>" added one of the children who had fallen over in a tangled heap with the other one as they danced to get behind of each other.

Would I? Why yes! That is awesome! Technically thats an opposed roll, but in this circumstance I will say the Obscure is a power 3 effect and you have a +5 Circumstance bonus (being a tunnel to channel and funnel all that air). So, essentially, as the Obscure rolled 1d20+3=10 then you cannot fail to do that. Post away!

GM Nothing could be seen, only heard. The sound of an engine rumbling, pouring out smoke. The sounds of hurt and injured Thugee. The sound of Annie Keys rivet gun clicking. The sound of her boots as she stepped towards the two heroes. Not without a pondering caution, but without trepidation. Annie was used to mines and smokes, and operating without her eyes. Nothing seen, only heard. And felt. Synapse felt Annie bump into her, a scuffle of groping hands and shifting weight. "Oh fiddlesticks!" cursed Annie, before a spinning whirring sound hit the smoky air, and Synapse felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her body...

Round 1 11 Annie Unharmed 9 Synapse Unharmed 1 HP 5 Ulysses Unharmed 0 HP Annie is just going to try to run past you. I will say thats a 50% chance of knocking into you anyway, but she has Blind Fighting Feat so I will half that to 25% *17+ on d20) 17-18 Ulyysess, 19-20 Synapse 1d20+17=20 and bump she does! So she responds with a melee attack. Again, it has a 25% miss chance (due to blind fight feat) 17-20 for a fail, and she gets: 1d20=4 Her Rivet Gun discharges an electric shock! But does it actually hit a flat footed synapse? 1d20+10=28 yes it does! A fortitude 20 save for Synapse vs Stun effect. Ulysses is up!

GM Squark! Squark! The radio comms unit on one of the crooks started to life, a slightly distorted, tinny sound, but a woman's still. "Are you there? Are you there? What is your status? Please confirm your status. Please confirm mission progress" The only responses she got was some snoring and a few grunts and moans from the five unconscious men who where in no fit state to update her one way or another. The fire extinguisher let off its last puff of foam. One of the lights above flickered and died, its smashed glass shell dripping a few last sorry shards of glass to the floor. The various equipment lay in a sorry state, some of it damaged, and some of it damaged irreversibly.

1d20+8=17 for Reflex, The toughness roll, however, is 1d20+6=7 whic vs DC 18 is a fail by 10 to be staggered and dazed. Whilst I don't mind that in principle, its probably a little early in the day to get crushed so badly, so I will expend my lone HP point...1d10+16=22 and make the save completely.

The Rat shifted uncomfortably in the presence of the materials. It was hard not to imagine all the horrible stuff it was doing to her DNA, what with Darwin-X still dormant in every cell. She struck a casual, hand on hip pose. "Getting this off my hands would be a relief....but....it is also a secret base where I had out. I trust you" she said to Asad, "and by extention, you" she said to Cinammon Bunns "but, only out of necessity. I heard you were a decent man. Stopped a nuclear explosion in Freedom City. I hope you are a decent man, anyway..." "But if a team of people come in here, this place is busted. And, in all likelihood, so am I. I have fifty years of work for the KGB during the height of the cold war to account for. Not that I had much choice, but I doubt that will help me. And it wasn't clean work either" she explained. "If it comes down to that or a radioactive fallout in Freedom City, I guess its the former. But, please, if you can do this by yourself, I would be in your debt..."

EDIT: Heritage pointed out an error, that I had not applied Grimalkins maxed status posts to rollover. So doing pushes up Deep Freeze to 22 Posts, and 2 PP (rather than 1 PP). I am adding a bonus PP to Deep Freeze to correct that.

1d20+6=17 for Starshot, +2 with the extra bonus for 19!

A few maxed PCs this month! Also, please remember that if you are in a thread as both player and GM, it is important to label posts that are GM as such (since they are worth double). As a rough guide, a GM post should have purely GM content as at least half (and ideally more) of the total post to qualify.

Reminders are always good! 1d20+3=4, 1d20+3=18 Both down! Post away!

Analysis: Severe Concussion. Dislocated Left Shoulder. Microfracture to right clavicle... Yes yes! I can feel it myself! That had been one nasty bump. And she could only guess she had fallen badly too. She started with a large groan, just to expel it from her, then got up, feeling her bruised and swollen face. Big "Easy" wouldnt like that. A taxi driver with two black eyes and a busted lip tended to put customers off. "But I walked into a lampost..." Never mind. The police cars, ambulance, and press where here. And she should not be. Time to limp home and nurse her bruises. Who that man was, she still didn't know. The trail had gone cold. All she knew was he hit like a train and...and yet, had presumably dragged her out here to avoid the masses...

1d20+3=10 Its down! Two left, and Terrifica is up again!

"Ze power of love?" said Rene, brightened. "Amour! Oui! A poison to despair! Ah, when one hold a lover in ones arms, embraced and safe, then ze world melts away, and time becomes infinite!" he said, some sadness in his joy. He was recalling his past loves, and their passing. "Oui! Oui! So, we need a wedding!" he pronounced. "Although weddings can be a bitter affair. We must choose carefully! Something small, but powerful, not ostentatious, Non! The trappings of the wedding can mask the lack of romance. Non!" "Can you fly? We must make haste! Your head-thing...can you find a wedding?"

Ok Rat will try to scuttle around and find Ferrati, hopefully with X-Ray Vision that should not be too hard. Notice roll: 1d20+9=22

Looked like the Revenant was keeping the mysterious man busy. Looked like not much could hurt her. Advantages of being dead, she guessed. Analysis: Target Revenant fully able to engage with unknown male target. Yeah, she supposed SLAVE was right about that. "Keep him busy!" she shouted at Revenant, as she scuttled off away from the brawl, scanning through walls and ceilings with her X-Ray vision. The man in black might not be the only problem, and they had yet to find Ferrati - the man they had actually come for. From the sounds of it, he was going to be in bad shape - or very soon would be. She needed to get him away, get him safe...

"That was a neat entrance" commented Pitch, leaning against the Coffin, smoking away more gently. She had a curious urge to smoke a cigarette. Not an easy thing, when wisps of flames floated briefly over body and hot smoke poured out of her mouth. She straightened up, leaning on the Cantos Cane instead. "What's the deal with all this mojo? Sounds like some life and death thing, all symbolic and Freudian. Got some river of life flowing out of some strange source. Giant snakes, too, now I think of it. I can think of one or two right-on feminists who would have a good laugh about a river of life and a giant dead snake at the end" she said, the thought just occuring to her. "Looks like a heap of trouble anyhow" she finished, tapping the coffin with her cane. "Whats with the stiff?"

GM The huge lump of rock tumbled like a bowling ball towards the thuggee, who were smashed by it. There was a sickening sound of screams and crushed bones. Fortunately the devastation was heard rather than seen - but still, the raw power of Ulysses was unleashed with his scream, and the power was horrible to witness. Even Annie Key dropped her jaw at the man throwing his own body weight in rock like he was throwing a cricketball. It was not just surprise on her face, but fear too. She had not expected such an explosion of violence, and not expected its fury. But she had been prepared. With a twist of a bolt on the machine she was working on, there was a grumbling noise, and an explosion - of air and gas rather than shrapnel. All of a sudden, an unpleasant acrid smoke filled the cave, making it impossible to see ones hand in front of ones nose.

Yoikes, a critical! Thats a DC 32 Toughness save, or DC 26 if they make a reflex save. In other words, they can't. All will be taken out! Annie has a prepared action. Smoke! Visual Obscure (total) now in effect in the Cave. Time for some initiative rolls: 1d20+10=11 for Annie.
