Thanks, Spacefurry!

 

[Spacefurry]

No problem glad I can return the favor.

[Spacefurry]

@Supercape

Think I can assume that since you just reactivated him, Diamondlight as a hero hasn’t been very active lately? Maybe August has been focusing on non-hero matters?

[Supercape]

I think so, yes. Running the High Steaks gambling/restaurant joint. 

 

Not so famous as a hero but he is moderately famous as CEO of Zoss design, billionaire, gambler etc

[Nerdzul]

Mmm perhaps Luke can recognize him for the short moment they met at the casino (it was him right?)

[Supercape]

It was indeed!

[Spacefurry]

@Nerdzul give me a Notice check, say DC 25

[Avenger Assembled]

Aquaria pick up anything with her super-senses? 

Super-Senses 12 (Darkvision, Radius Sight, Detect Magic 3 [auditory], Hearing [Extended], Sonar [Accurate Ultrasonic Hearing], Scent [Acute], Tremorsense) [12PP]

[Spacefurry]

@Avenger Assembled Nothing with the darkvision or magic. Hearing gets her the mullings and conversations of the police and a few nearby civilians. Nothing with the sonar or tremorsense.
 

Scent does pick up something out of the ordinary. If she’s spend anytime around them, it kinda smells like something from a medical facility. It’s very faint and fading, not something she could follow from here. But distinctly recognizable if she came across it again given how out of place it is in the park.

[Spacefurry]

@Nerdzul just so you don’t have it wait on a reply from me before posting.

 

If he makes the check, Luke can notice a lone woman amongst the civilians. She has a small frame, kinda skinny. Looks rough, possibly homeless, but doesn’t carry herself like one. She catches Luke looking at her then he loses track of her as others pass between them blocking line of sight.

Something about her gives off bad vibes.

[Nerdzul]

28 :) So he notices her.

[Avenger Assembled]

lemme know if you need any rolls from me! 

[Avenger Assembled]

does Aquaria spot anything under the water, @Spacefurry? I wanna describe that before she pops up and says hello to everyone. 

[Spacefurry]

@Avenger Assembled sorry for the delay

 

Lets say a Survival vs DC15

Succeed = the wild life in the lake are agitated, even more so then just by Sea Devil’s presence.

 

Notice vs DC20

Succeed = Sea Devil notices another corpse. The remains have been underwater for some time and have been subject to the damages that would come with it except for the neck which have claw like damage that look like torn large chunks from it.

 

[Avenger Assembled]

https://orokos.com/roll/989494 = 15 on Survival 

 

https://orokos.com/roll/989495 = 30 on Notice, a crit! 

 

Does that give me anything useful?

[Spacefurry]

With a crit I’ll say SD also finds traces of something using the lake. She wouldn’t say it’s ‘living’ in the lake, but something it lurking in it for lengths of time. Like a hunting blind. She can estimate it to be slightly larger then an average human.

[Nerdzul]

 

A part from an enhanced sense of scent, that I imagine is not exactly a boon when there are dead bodies around. Luke has the ability to sniff for treasures and to intuitively understand what a person want most (although not in high detail), again by scent, I am not sure if this power would work on someone who is dead... But he will give that a try, in case he caught something important.

 

Super-Senses 5 (Greatest Desire Awareness; Descriptor Frequency: Very Common; Sense Type: Olfactory, Default: Radius, Ranged; Extras: Acute, Analytical) {5PP/36}

Super-Senses 5 (Valuable Object Awareness; Descriptor Frequency: Very Common; Sense Type: Olfactory, Default: Radius, Ranged; Extras: Acute, Tracking) {5PP/36}

 

Nightscale has skill mastery on both Notice and Sense Motives at 20 if needed.

[Supercape]

I doubt this will be pertinent, but Diamondlight will take 10 on Knowledge (Behavioural Sciences) to get 26. As that incorperates criminology I suppose it may come up with something pertinent about serial killers murdering underwater!

[Avenger Assembled]

Aquaria wonders if the Surfacers will get mad if she eats the monster. 

[Spacefurry]

@Nerdzul When it comes to valuables, Diamondlight pings Luke’s senses of course. Sea Devil’s armor could be considered valuable as well. Here and there amongst the officers he can sense a few valuables, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Further out, the same could be said for the handful of civilians within range.

 

As for greatest desires, it’s less productive. Luke can smell strong desire around him (everyone has one, even if they don’t realize it  ).

He does catch a hint of something on the fringes of the crowds. Two somethings actually, they’re different somethings is for blood the other for flesh.

 

@Supercape Diamondlight can’t think of much beyond the basics of some killers trying to hide bodies in the lake.

 

@Avenger Assembled Pretty sure if Sea Devil ate the killer most of the force wouldn’t see anything.

[Avenger Assembled]

Okay, Sea Devil will back Luke's play here, @Nerdzul, so go ahead and post! 

 

 

[Spacefurry]

@Nerdzul the desire for flesh and the desire for blood are two separate ‘scents’

[Nerdzul]

 

OOC: Nightscale will go for the source that his friends suggest him to go for.

 

Does he have to roll to follow one of them? If it's enough, he has Notice at 20 with Skill Mastery.

@Nerdzul the Skill Mastery 20 should be enough to get you heading in the right direction .
