Right then. Blasting #1. Attack Roll: 18+10=28. Pretty darn sure that hits. So DC 26 Toughness Save from #1

Internally, Gabriel was a bit worried about the gaggle of young women voting on him. The others simply made him curious as to their reasoning, though the young boy with stars in his eyes gave a large hint for the rather obviously dressed man. 'It's all for charity, it's all for charity, it's all for charity...' With that fortifying though, Gabriel turned up his "volume" so the crowd could more easily hear, and then he turned up the charm. "Come on, folks! You're doing great so far! You've given so much, shown how much you care! Those of you bidding, keep digging! You know this is for a wonderful cause! So let's see those bids reach for the sky!" His face held a grin, even as he mused to himself. 'I hope I don't regret that.'

Just for fun... Dipomacy: 34; 38 if/when Attractive applies. That's just a roll for getting the crowd worked up in a positive manner.

Gabriel nodded as she spoke, relaxing a bit as she explained things...though he flinched a bit at the "animal bone" part. It didn't seem to be a deal-breaker, though. "Write me a cost estimate, and I'll have the money when I pick it up. I doubt my powers will be a problem, unless hyper-concentrated sound would disrupt it." After receiving the cost estimate, he headed towards the door, stopping for a moment to look back at Robin. He made a gesture as if tipping a hat. "My thanks to you, and...God bless, ma'am." With that, he was out the door and off into the sky.

Gabriel gave out a hearty chuckle. "I seem to be the only one who makes "hero work" more of a second job than a first. Then again, I suppose there's valid reasons each of you are in the situation you're in regarding that." He looked over to Victory with a smile. "If we cross paths around mealtime, maybe we can catch a bite, so you don't have to subject yourself to military base food. You're more than welcome as well, Dark Star." He gave a thoughtful nod at Dark Star's musings at his schedule. "Always more things to squeeze into the schedule, hm? Maybe being on Earth will give you a chance for a breather, though. Smaller scope to your problems, and all that."

Cobalt Templar practically snarled at the madman in front of him...Before a grin split his face. "You look tired." Suddenly, his sword dissolved, and a hand of ethereal blue flame grasped the wicked cultist. "You should get off your feet..." The hand tightened slightly, lifting the virtually helpless man off the ground. "Maybe catch a flight to somewhere else." And now the cultist was flying through the air, the blue hand having casually tossed him with strength to spare. His life was in no danger, but that didn't mean he was safe from, say, a broken limb or two.

Right, looks like it's time for some TK. Beginning of the round, switching my Array to Telekinesis. Attack Roll to grab him with TK. Pretty sure this hits. Next, Grapple Check. I'm thinking he can't beat this one. So...he's thrown into the wall. FYI, the effective Strength on CT's TK is 35.

Right, so it's another one of those Sundays. Gone for the morning, back for a wee bit around noon, then gone again for the afternoon and evening. Maybe, maybe getting a bit of time at the end of the night. Not sure.

This. So very much this. It looks right up there with a course I took entitled: The Hero Quest and the Holy Grail in Literature, Art and Film.

Inside, Corbin was celebrating. 'She said yes! She said yes! I'm a stud! This is awesome! And she likes pizza, even better!' Outside, he was "just" beaming a 100-megawatt smile, and blushing a bit. "Yes. I think doing something more than a "study date" sounds like an excellent first step. I'll find out what a good pizza place is. As for movies...I think that new one Megamind comes out this weekend. Tomorrow night, actually. It's not just a romantic comedy, but it's definitely a comedy, and I've heard it's got romance. If that's not good, we can always pick something when we go there. It's your call, really. This whole thing's as much about you as it is about me. Thank you for saying yes." Here, he blushed deeper. He didn't seem to offer immediate reasons for his thanks, though. "Did you need any help real quick with history, or are you doing okay with it?"

Gabriel waved, nodded, and smiled at the crowd. His reply to Miss Americana was almost mischievous. "If it's a non-monetary wager between friends, I don't see the harm. I'm a bit curious myself. Especially since we're not limited to something like a date. Keep your eyes open for couples bidding; we might end up going to a birthday party or something." It wasn't long before the auction began. The other people who had volunteered for this part of the festival were bid on in fairly short order. Certainly all of them brought in decent donations, but it was clear there was still anticipation for the "main event". "Up next, we have a hero in shining white, Southside's own Gabriel!" There was a cheer as Gabriel stood from the stool he'd been resting on. As he waved to the crowd, he gave one last whispered comment to his fellow hero. "One favor of winner's choice says you edge out my price, but not by a huge margin." And then he was standing center stage.

Carson frowned. He couldn't quite hear the creature at his altitude, but it seemed to be moving on its own. This suggested intelligence. But where was it going? 'Only one way to find out...' With a rush of air, Gabriel was standing about 50 feet in front of Dead Head. His right arm was raised and pointing, palm-first, at the Revoltin' Revenant. Energy rippled almost unseen in the dark night as his NVG-covered eyes stared at Dead Head. "If you can understand me, stop and explain yourself. Now."

Right then. *Cracks Fingers* First, Gabriel. Remove the following feats from his Feats: So, that's 11PP to use. 1.)Please change the Will Save to: Will: +10 (+5 Wis, +5 Base) the Fortitude Save to: Fortitude: +8 (+3 Con, +5 Base) and the Reflex Save to: Reflex: +8 (+2 Dex, +6 Base) 6PP left. 2.)Add the following to his Feats: Improved Initiative Luck 3 This means the following change takes place: Initiative: +6 2PP left. Hm. Time to get a little more flexibility. He's been fighting so doggone many robots and undead lately, I feel justified in adding these as Alternate Powers to his Sonic Control Array: [u]Alternate Power[/u]: [b]Drain Toughness 11 ([/b][i]Extras[/i]: Range [Ranged][b])[/b] [22PP] [u]Alternate Power[/u]: [b]Drain Toughness 11 ([/b][i]Extras[/i]: Range [Ranged], Affects Objects [Alternate Save: Reflex]; [i]Flaws[/i]: Affects Objects Only[b])[/b] [22PP] 0PP left. Also! Please add the following Complications: Shepherd of the Flock: Gabriel feels intensively protective of others, especially those without powers to fight back against powerful villains. Thus, he may be borderline reckless attempting to protect those he feels need it. Old Scars: Gabriel sports several large scars on his torso from his fight near the end of October. Though they do not impede his ability to move and fight, they can be boethersome; they often flare up with low-level pain during especially cold and/or wet times of the year. The Touch of Death: Having been nearly killed by a small army of the undead and a couple of necromancers, and especially due to the horrific wounds from a "super-ghoul", Gabriel is uncomfortable around any person or being who wields/is powered by necromantic energies. Around living necromancers, it's typically a dull ache at the back of his mind. Around undead, it's a very slight uneasiness added to said ache. Hunted by Infernal Powers: After an encounter with a powerful tempter demon in September, Gabriel has been haunted by the sense he is, on occasion, being watched, and even stalked. He knows the demon desires revenge, but has yet to encounter the creature itself. He fears for the impact this may have on the lives of others around him. Doktor'd, though Gabe's Will save is +10 (+2 Wis, +8) EDIT: Now, time for Cobalt Templar. First off, change the Tradeoffs to the following: [b][u]Trade-Offs[/u][/b]: -3 Defense / +3 Toughness No inherent PP cost there, but it's important to stuff later on. Next. 1.)Under Powers, Add: [b]Enhanced Constitution 2[/b] [2pp] The following changes thus occur: -Under Abilities: Con 16/18 (+3/+4) -Under Saving Throws: Fortitude: +7 (+4 Con, +3 base) Changes to Toughness score noted later. 7pp left. 2.)Under Powers, Change Protection to: [b]Protection 7[/b] (Descriptors: Holy, Magic) [4pp] 4pp left. 3.)The following change to the Device power under Powers: [b]Device 12 ([/b]'Power Ring', 60dp, Hard to Lose; [i]PFs[/i]: Restricted 2 [Only You]; [i]Descriptors[/i]: Magic, Holy; [i]Drawbacks[/i]: Power Loss [must be recharged every 24 hours, uncommon, 1 point], Power Loss [failing will saves vs. fear, uncommon, 1 point][b])[/b] [48PP] -Within the Device, remove Protection, and instead make the entry: [b]Impervious Toughness 6[/b] [6pp] -Change the Holy Fire Control array to: [b]Holy Fire Control 8[/b] (16 point array; [i]Descriptors[/i]: Magic, Holy, Fire; PFs: Alternate Power x4) [16+4=20 pp] [u]BP[/u]: [b]Blast 8[/b] {16/16} [u]AP[/u]: [b]Create Object 4[/b] ([i]Extra[/i]: Moveable) ([i]PF[/i]: Progression 2 (5 25 foot cubes), Stationary, Tether) {16/16} [u]AP[/u]: [b]Dazzle 8[/b] (Visual Senses) {16/16} [u]AP[/u]: [b]Strike 5[/b] (PF: Mighty) {6/16} [u]AP[/u]: [b]Telekinesis 8[/b] (Str 40, Heavy Load: 6 tons; Range: 80ft Increments; Maximum 800ft) {16/16} -The change to Telekinesis also changes: Grapple: +10/+6 (melee); +15 (ranged, Telekinesis) 2dp spent, 3dp remaining. -Increase the Enhanced Attack to: [b]Enhanced Attack 5[/b] [10pp] This changes Attack to: Attack: +3 (+8 with Power Ring) 4dp spent, 1dp remaining. -Change the Enhanced Feat to: Enhanced Feat 2 [Quick Change, Improved Initiative] [2 pp] -Change Initiative: Initiative: +2 (+6 with Power Ring -Also, change Toughness to: Toughness: +11 (+3 Con, +1 Enhanced Con, +7 Protection) Impervious 6 -And change Knockback: Knockback: -1/-5/-8 (un-powered/without ring/with ring's Imp.

Gabriel grit his teeth, trying to prepare himself for the incoming blow; somehow, he knew he couldn't dodge it. "So long as I-" Whatever else he would have said was lost as WU's blow struck truer than any might have thought possible. WU's hand struck dead center on Gabriel's torso, and the Dark energy coursed through his body. His wordless shriek of pain echoed for several city blocks in every direction, before he suddenly went silent and collapsed into unconsciousness, smoke wafting upwards from his limp body.

Right, so DC 27, that's tough, but I think I can- Son of a Twinkie!

Gabriel nods, but doesn't leave immediately. "Is this just going to be something I wear? Something I carry? Will I have to do some sort of daily ritual with it?" He wears a thoughtful frown on his face. "Are there any sorts of things that could cause interference when I have it? Activities, energies, that sort of thing?"

This time, Gabriel had some warning before he took the Green Express, and so he was better prepared for the sensations. Still, he couldn't help but feel a bit odd coming out the other side. Maybe he just needed more practice with it. No time for that now. He landed in a crouch, surveying the scene in a moment. The robot seemed distracted, searching for someone else. "Waste of time and materials." His left hand rose, and a blast of sound roared out, aimed center mass on the robot. Hopefully, he could give his comrades an opening to exploit.

Right, I think I'll try "shooting the robot" for a change. Attack Roll: 13+10=23 Right, assuming that is indeed a hit, that'll be a DC 26 Toughness save from the robot.

Gabriel nodded. "Police are an excellent plan. And while I don't have major disguise supplies, I'd like to think I could at least do a decent job of acting my part. As for Number 1 over there...I think between Miss Americana and myself, we can convince him that it's an excellent idea to help us." The smile he gives doesn't quite reach his eyes.

Gabriel ground his teeth in anger even as he kept his eyes on WU. "You're complaining about noise, when you're wreaking havoc with cannons and energy blasts? You complain about outfits? About a lack of "common decency"? Anyone willing to strike down a helpless child has no right to speak of common decency!" As he had been speaking, Gabriel had been carefully shaping his next attack. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he threw both arms forward and sent a burst of sound waves at WU; to the casual observer, it appeared somewhat different than his last few attacks. However, analysis would have to remain academic, as the attack missed by a country mile. 'This day is definitely not going well...'

Right, using my Ranged Paralyze, so Full-Round Action... *Unprintable Words*

Let's hope this doesn't suck. Init: 8+2=10 ...Well, it's not 3, I suppose. :?

By now, Gabriel is standing close enough he can simply speak normally, albeit still at low volume. "We definitely need to stick together, yes. And...no, not really. I mean, there were vague thematic similarities, but nothing specifically similar. Come on. Time is more precious than ever, we need to move." With that, he set off to...he stopped, then turned back to her. His face displayed frustration that was ready to boil over to anger. "I have no idea where to look. Where do we go from here? What can we do?"

Gabriel frowned as the battle seemed to settle into a war of attrition. He leveled his hand at WU again, and let loose a blast that suddenly gave off sound just as it impacted the street behind WU. "Okay, why attack a parade? There's no major money here or anything. No technology. What, you don't like balloons? You think you're superior because you can shoot energy beams at little kids?" Anger seeps into his voice as he again shifts position a bit, trying to maintain distance between himself and his foes.

Blasting at WU again. Attack Roll: 6+10=16 If by a miracle that hits, DC 26 Toughness.
