Fisticuffs 2: The Opening Credits (OOC)

[Avenger Assembled]

DC 26 Sense Motive for that to seem weird, I guess, with Avenger's Bluff Skill Mastery? (Wander's acting weird, but who's to say it was weird for Avenger?) Then DC 20 Notice save to see what in particular Avenger did.

[Dariusprime]

Yeah, I've been really conflicted too, IC and OOC. Thankfully the vampire lord helped get things under control. Funny thing is, even if she knew how powerful Wander was, she'd still step in. She needed to get her Superman on.

Which does lead to an interesting idea. I don't know much about Wander, but maybe Fulcrum can track her down and have a heart-to-heart? Side thread perhaps?

Sense Motive vs Avenger's DC 26 Bluff (1d20+8=12), Notice vs Avenger's DC 20 (1d20+8=27)? Bombed the SM, doesn't matter. :D

[Geez3r]

Sense Motive vs Avenger's mind trick, DC 26 (1d20+16=26)

Skill Mastery on Notice for 27. Woah, Dynamo finally noticed something was amiss. Who'd a thunk it?

[quotemyname]

Sense Motive DC 26 (1d20+15=20)

Yea, can't see @#$% cap'n.

Sorry I've been so absent, yesterday was a big day. Let's see if I can get back into things :)

[Gizmo]

JoaB can oppose that with his Bluff, right? He autohits 33 Bluff and 20 Notice; plus, he's seen Avenger pull this kinda thing before, in Public Service.

So, probably a goofy question, but am I blanking on Lukos and JoaB meeting at some point? It gets all confusing when both Jacks are around.

[quotemyname]

Honestly, I don't think that they have, unless I misremember. The Jack that he is speaking of is actually Freedom City's Alpha Male Werewolf.

Addendum: Avenger, if that IC post is not cool with you, please let me know. I will willingly change it. It just seemed thematically appropriate for the time.

Sooo many Jacks!

[quotemyname]

Yea, sorry about that. It was totally unintentional, I promise. I just couldn't think of a better name at the time I introduced the character.

[quotemyname]

Reposted from Avenger vs. Lukos OOC: I believe this deserves reiterating so you don't get the wrong idea from my posts. Lukos was sent here under orders to battle Avenger. Do as much damage as possible. Kill him if he can. Because as he was told, Vampires are horrible people and are doing terrible things to the city. His Alpha wouldn't lie to him, right?

[Heritage]

Gossamer can't make a DC 26 Sense Motive check, and she gets a 19 on her Notice; everything looks fine here!

[Avenger Assembled]

Is that a lie? <_>

[Starsign]

Doc, perhaps you could make an intimidate roll for the recent post you put up and I'll make a Will save before posting?

[Dr Archeville]

Not sure that's needed, he's not intentionally trying to frighten anyone. He's like a member of the Addams Family or the Munsters like that

But, for the sake of argument, I'll say he "Takes 1," bare minimum, that's a 16.

[Starsign]

Actually, to save time, let's just say she autofailed. It'll makes for better RP this way.

[quotemyname]

There's a long post attempting to get things moving, and provoke as many questions from the crowd as possible. ;)

[Avenger Assembled]

Wow. I have to say, I think Jack of Blades owes Dynamo an apology.

[Gizmo]

To be fair, his issue with Dynamo was that he was insulting entire groups rather than individuals. But yeah, the 'pet name' crack really hit Jack's buttons and set off some seriously harsh stuff. So, in the continuing trend of Jack trying make friends with a Claremont kid and having it go horribly, horribly wrong.

[Electra]

If that's how he makes friends, I'd hate to see how he deals with enemies! ;)

[quotemyname]

Now, now, children, play nice.

[Gizmo]

Seriously, with all of that Charisma, Jack has to make a conscious decision to be that big a jerk, amirite?

For the sake of argument, here's the logic I was operating on: he didn't approve of Dynamo's banter because racial and GLBT stereotypes are dehumanizing. So is calling Dead Head a pet. Okay, yes, technically 'Head isn't human anyway, but 'desentientizing' isn't a word. He'd go to bat for Vince or even Avenger or Lukos on the same grounds.

...'course, he probably could have raised his objections is a more diplomatic manner, yeah.

[Avenger Assembled]

Just remember, Gizmo, it's awesome to be Spiderman. Just don't be the Spiderman who sold his soul to the devil. ;)

[Gizmo]

That's crazy, Jack was never married! ...right?

[Dr Archeville]

That's none of your business

Dead Head's making it his business. Since he suspects that whatever trauma is in her past is exactly the sort of thing he fights against.

Start by using his Postcognition on her, having local spirits tell him what went on in her past. Since she's not from this world, though, they'd be limited in what they can read off her -- his postcog is "the spirits of those who were there telling him first-hand what happened," but unless Wander's got a personal haunt from her own world attached to her, no spirit in this world would know what had happened on her world. (Unless there's been some spirits hanging around in her therapy sessions.)

So, after realizing that, Extra Effort to stunt the following off his Necromantic Powers Array (12pp):

Mind Reading 13 (Extras: Action 2 [Free for surface thoughts, Move for memory probe]; Flaws: Limited/Only thoughts & memories related to death & killing, Sense-Dependent/Visual; Drawback: Noticeable [cone of emerald light from his eyes])

Descriptor: DH's power over death is so great (greater than even he realizes) that he can look into a person's eyes and know who they've lost (or who they've killed), and knows the details as well as the person themself knows it.

No HPs left (unless Wander's mere presence is enough of a setback to nab him one ), so he's Fatigued. Which fits, since seeing what's in her mind regarding her zombie-filled past would be traumatic for anyone.

[Electra]

He's getting every thought in her mind related to death and killing? My god, they're going to be there all night! :D

[Electra]

Oh, and can she feel/see the memories he's picking out as he gets them, sort of a shared recollection?
