Somebody get me an exterminator! (OOC)

[Barnum]

OOC thread for the thread VM and Affliction.

I picked here because . . . well, because neither of you said you cared where, and this forum has no posts in it.

*is really simple-minded*

Do you want to start, Dil, VM, or should I?

[Veiled Malice]

I guess here's as good as any. I'll take a look at my Freedom City book a little later on to give Maggot a better excuse to pop in here.

[Affliction]

i'm working on a plan now. when barny gets home from school, she's gonna get things started for me.

[Veiled Malice]

Well, it seems that this place isn't the biggest baddy pull in FC, but it'll have to do. There's not much here except residential housing and shopping malls. Real upper-middle income stuff. :)

[Barnum]

That's perfect!

I'll post here today. *promises*

[Barnum]

Alrighty, the first post is up.

The scene: a playground somewhere in the 'burbs.

The cast: two miscreant teenagers who are about to be up to no good.

Your next posts: whatever you want, but probably getting yourselves on the way to the playground would make some sense. If you could, stay off the playground until the mischief is made manifest. (sounds like a Harry Potter spell . . . 'Mischief Manifest!')

[Affliction]

getting there

[Veiled Malice]

Do you want to post first, or should I? I'm just wondering how you want to start this out. Well, other than the start Barnum was so nice to have given us. :)

[Barnum]

You can go ahead and post enough to tell how you got to the neighborhood. I should be able to finish up the preliminaries enough to cue Maggot's grand entrance in my next post.

What I was thinking:

-Barnum sets the scene

-Affliction and VM post to get them into the neighborhood

-Barnum finishes the scene

-Maggot terrorizes the playground (for a post or two)

-VM to the rescue

[Veiled Malice]

Gotcha. Although it'll be less "to the resuce" than "bumbling around and getting smacked about by someone three full PLs above him." :)

[Barnum]

I think Maggot is intentionally scaled back to (mostly) PL 8, so it should be pretty good.

[Barnum]

Sorry for not posting yesterday. Feeling a little under the weather. I'm going to let Affliction post an action too before I update, since you both will go before the boys in the initiative order.

[Affliction]

i don't know if the bugs will hurt metal boy or not. i'll leave that up to you guys.

[Veiled Malice]

Unless they're Hulkbugs, I don't think so. :)

[Barnum]

Please roll for initiative. The boys will be going last no matter what.

[Veiled Malice]

That's a 12 for Mashin-kun. A very average roll.

[Affliction]

init (1d20 2=17)

[Barnum]

You're up, Dil. If you want to do something other than torment the boys with wasps, post away.

[Affliction]

since maggot doesn't know much of anything, it is going to pick a random boy and use suffocate on him.

1 - vm

2 - picked on boy

3 - bulley

4 - fat kid

which boy (1d4=2)

scrawny kid it is. evolution wins again

[Barnum]

Eeeeeeew . . .

Fort Save, Con Save (1d20-1=4, 1d20-1=13)

Failed and failed. He is unconscious. Will be dying next round, and dead the round after.

[Veiled Malice]

Yeah, seriously. Daisuke made an attack, but I think he missed. Unless, of course, she's somehow flat-footed, which I doubt.

[Barnum]

Yep, that's a miss.

Round 2.

Affliction, you're up. You can RP VM's "miss" however you like.

[Affliction]

using strike

attack (1d20 10=12)

looks like a swing and a miss

[Barnum]

Yep. That's a miss. VM is up.

[Veiled Malice]

Okay, Daisuke's making for the nearest fire hydrant, however far away that is. He's also in a defensive posture, so that's a +2 to his Defense.
