(Count as Golden Star Post) "I....I don't know." The Librarian said, looking between Carmen and Michael. "I uh...I had a book. It was an old book I found at an antiques shop. It was named uh 'The Real Mythology of America'. It didn't come up in any of the searches we had, and the author was unknown. I thought I'd discovered a real, actual piece of history, a book we didn't have recorded in our systems; I did age testing on it and it came up as being a genuine antique. We bought it and brought it back here to get it restored if it needed it, but I felt...I dunno, a calling to read it before we put it away. Books are meant to be read you know? So I decided I'd read it at the exhibition inside, a little surprise reading. Everyone got really excited. And the stories didn't seem that different from the usual tellings, you could still tell who was who. I read through John Henry, Paul Bunyan, and Mike Fink...then I got to William Tell and that confused me, because William Tell isn't actually an American folk hero; he's from Switzerland. So I didn't understand why it was in there, but I was already reading it...and then the little version of him literally climbed out of the pages of the book! He shot a bunch of arrows everywhere then ran off. No one was seriously hurt but I have no idea what's going on. I just...I think this book is responsible." She said, holding out the book in question. "...Okay, listen, don't worry." Michael said, taking a hold of the book. "You uh...you try to keep everyone calm here. We'll take this book to some heroes that I'm sure are coming by to investigate this, and they'll probably need this book. I'm sure someone will either being it back or put it somewhere safe." He said, looking at Carmen with the puppy dog eyes of 'can we please save the day' even as he picked up the book and flipped through it, taking a look at the art pieces in the book; each missing the main character.

toughness: 22 By the skin of his teeth.

We'll do some gathering information rolls (but not Gather Information unless you want to); give me an IC post of what you're doing, tell me what you're rolling, and roll it, and what you're looking for, and we'll see how you go. Try to stay in the Hospital though, we'll move out of the hospital in a little bit.

(GM Post) "Dennis...Dennis is..." she frowns and looks to the side a bit. "Dennis wouldn't do this. Not if it was him. Dennis was a good guy. He volunteered at the local shelter. He coached a local little league team. He'd been employee of the Month at the plant for like three months. He liked camping, went out all the time...he didn't come back this time. We sent out a search party and found him starving, dehydrating, mumbling about some 'cave' he found. We took him back here and he just...slowly withered and died...I almost think it was natural, we didn't get to him in time. But then, after we moved him down into the morgue, that was when things started going bad. One of the people who had brought him in came back, complaining of headaches, exhaustion. Then we just...watched. As he shifted and turned into a copy of Dennis in front of us. And he started freaking out. That was when we started to know something was really wrong. The people who hadn't been touched barricaded on floors they could find, slowly grouping up here. Everyone else turned into Dennis." She mumbled. "You can access his records though; I'll log you in on this computer. His apparel would be in the storage locker in the room he had been in. 845, two floors up. Please be careful with anything you touch that he was in contact with though. We're really not sure how this spreads. If you need anything, though, let me know."

Okay, will be its turn after @TheAbsurdist Jotunn is up!

Right, Redcaps and then The Prestige! The Redcap on the roof is gonna throw a stone blade at Blackstaff, while the other three are going to teleport through, attacking Anarchilles, Steel Shade and Bloody Mess with their pikes. To hit Blackstaff: 23, DC21 Toughness please. To hit Anarchilles: 8, that's a miss To hit Steel Shade: 22, that's a hit, DC24 Toughness, 21 thanks to his bruise so he takes another injured and Bruised. To hit Bloody Mess: 17, which is a miss too. All four will then teleport away. @Supercape Bloody Mess would be able to sense that the red on their hats is old human blood.

To hit Bloody Mess: 17, which is a miss too. They then use Turnabout to teleport away. @Supercape, Bloody Mess would be able to tell that the red on their caps is blood. Human blood of various ages. I don't think you can sense them when they teleport into cover but I'm open to being corrected. The Prestige is gonna take a 10 to hit a Goblin, for 20 total. Which hits, provoking a DC25 Toughness which it actually can't pass, so 1 goblin down. I'll get the IC up today, then it's Bloody Mess' turn!

Timeout Lawrence watched as Sea Devil seemed a bit uneasy at the approach of the Atlantean vessel, which also seemed to cause a reaction among the other Deep Ones. Sea Devil's suggestion that some of the Claremont students go out to try to talk with the Atlanteans and insistent that the Atlanteans were friendly with surface dwellers did not help alleviate concerns that there might be some potential hostility between the Atlanteans and Deep ones. But, the blond teen did not disagree that it was likely a good idea that a few of the students intercept the Atlanteans and try to talk with them. Not being able to fly, Lawrence himself was not the best choice for that group, so he watched those that could make their way out over the ocean to meet the Atlantean vessel before it reached the oil rig. "Ms. Innsmouth, should we be concerned about the presence of the Atlanteans." He asked, making a more direct question than Parker had previously asked (and not received an answer to).

Thanks Dracostern Dont worry!

OOC for this thread Let's pray I do this correctly @Kaede Kimura @Supercape @Poncho

GM It was just that time of the week in Claremont Academy. A routine check in with some of the students. The faculty has decided to test a few of the younger heroes. As such Baz, Vueriz and Michael would be called and led to the basements under the Academy, to the Doom Room. A large facility with a hexagonal floor, white and grey walls and a high ceiling. Above them was the observation room. A figure could be seen from within, the supervisor for today’s session. “Greetings students.” The man spoke up through the intercom. “We are here to evaluate your abilities. Some of your fellow students have volunteered to help you with this. Please use your abilities as you see fit.” Should any of them look to the far end of the room, they could notice a platform that had risen up fifty feet above them. On that platform they could see the familiar figures of Daniel and Iris, tied up together there, they seemed to be tied with chains that had three locks on it. “HEY GUYS!” Daniel called out while Iris just rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath. The students could also see that there were three platforms rising up at different levels, they were all quite large, stretching from one end of the Doom Room to the other. Each platform had platform would have different environments simulated on them. The first and closest to the ground, had a forest theme to it. Trees, rocks and boulders could be seen on it. The next platform up seemed to have a city simulated on it. Or at least an urban area, small houses could be seen on it. Finally, the top seemed to look like the interior of a space ship. The supervisor would speak. “The object of this exercise is to rescue your fellow students. Each platform you see with spawn an enemy of a specific type. There are also three keys, one on each. You must find the keys to free them. Please take some time to prepare. You start in five minutes.” ( @Kaede Kimura @Supercape @Poncho )

Bluff Results 1d20+11: 29 [1d20=18]

Could you throw a bluff roll for me? DC 10

Cerebellum Daniel blinked in surprise when he saw General Sparks in...the real world?! The male twin's eyes shifted around the room briefly, he had to turn away from the flash, a flash that seemed to have awoken Iris. He breathed a sigh of relief before turning to the misplaced villain. "You shouldn't be here!" He cried out, seeing Carmen's attack fail made Daniel reconsider throwing something at him. "We'll tell you later Carmen! We need to stop this wannabe dictator." With that he pointed towards Sparks and focused. Faint purple waves shot out from his forehead and pressed against the General's. Causing mental pain as Daniel Mind Blasted him!

Got it, thank you!

GM "Roger... Paramedics en route...." called in the control tower. The Captain grabbed Predator by the arms, wincing in pain, skin pale, sweaty. Snow was falling on his face. Light snow, melting. "Listen. We are comprimised... do you understand? Nobody knew about our flight. Classified. And someone... something... was on it. They didn't tell me what this was about, but you can bet is hot, right? So take it from me, somebody, somewhere, is a mole. Whatever this is about, someone is on to you. Don't speak to anyone..." The Captain looked down to his bloodied military fatigues. "Nice job..." he muttered, before passing out.

@Dracostern the psychic blast will automatically hit, so post that IC 11 for his will save vs DC 23, so that makes him staggered and dazed

GM "What am I? What am I? I am no mere... THING!" roared General Sparks, shaking one lightning fist to the skies. "I AM GENERAL SPARKS! SUPREME COMMANDER OF EARTH!" He looked around. "Where am I? Am I on earth?" he asked, looking quite confounded and confused. The sparks still flewm however. The lights on the cieling exploded, and glass tinkled to the ground, covering the heroes. "What have you done??? Where am I?" screamed General Sparks.

Carmen leaps down right towards this strange being that had come out of the game console and cartridge just as she was soon flashed by the bright light, blinding her intensely, unable to see whatsoever. The werecat's claws already in motion but cutting through pure energy. It would do little against this being, instead being given in return the worse shocking she had taken in her entire life. Volts cutting through her body, crying out loud before stumbling back out of the range of the aura that had just gone through her. Somehow, for now, she had managed to preserver herself, holding out but a more singed than she was beforehand. "What is this thing!?"

Puma manages to hold out against the sudden shock with a 26 likely.

Alright, Daniel is going to Mind Blast him!

Predator Predator caught the captain as he collapsed. She believed him when he said the pilots were okay, but he was most assuredly not. It was obvious the mission had been compromised. But, to what extent? That would have to wait, she needed to help the officer. She easily hopped back into the plane and carefully laid him down. A quick glance around and she found the first-aid kit. It was basic but it would do. A quick search of the man also netted her his own standard issued bandage kit. She knew better than to just yank the shard out. It didn’t seem to have passed through completely. Opening her helmet and disengaging the filters she sniffed the area. The lack of foul smells gave her hope that the wound had miraculously avoided the intestines. She should have time. “I apologize sir, this may hurt.” She offered the man solemnly, then opened a small bottle of antiseptic. Quickly she attempted to clean the wound some, before using several bandages to cover it around the debris. Scooping the captain up she exited the plane. “Cynthia. Put me in contact with the control tower.” “Yes ma’am.” There was a short pause from the computer as Predator began to run as fast as she dared with her passenger. “Connected.” Cynthia spoke again. “Control! This is military flight Foxtrot, Kilo, Delta, Niner. Plane is down. Pilots alive but incapacitated, still onboard. I have one serious wounded, coming to you. Please ready emergency personnel and/or redirect to nearest emergency services.”

Gen Sparks is going to let you hit! Unfortunately as he is pure lightning now (Insubstantial 3) he is immune to physical attacks, and further more you suffer a Damage 8 effect from his lightning aura, @MoonSimply:( Could you post that IC and then Daniel is up, @Dracostern

Shooting Star Alice took half a step forward when the red capped creature appeared behind Steel Shade, but hesitated before her reflexes could kick in and instead of interposing herself between them just watched as the Gremlins reject stabbed her brother. Her jaw creaked from clenching it, trying not to let it show how seeing him hurt upset her when the rest appeared. Truly masters of negotiation this lot. The other two heroes each responded in their own way, Big Red by... spouting a worker's creed or something, the more interesting in one was the guy who clearly knew what they were up against. Still, she couldn't resist a quip. "Hey! You lot are trying to rob what they've rightfully stolen!"

Paper The door never stood a chance. Sue burst through them like an unstoppable battering ram. It had served its purpose to focus attention on him while Like snuck in from above. From atop the paper-predator Paper took in the scene. It was like something out of a B-movie. Behind a desk at the center a man sat. A man he recognized as Alice’s older brother. But the way he was dressed raised even more questions. Aaron knew who he was before he could say anything himself. Wordlessly, he hopped down off the construct. Reaching up he pulled off the white paper face mask and regarded him. He figured Like was here too, but didn’t know where. Leo. Needed to keep him focused on him. “How did you know?” He asked as he reached out with his senses again. He’d been wrong, Aaron seemed to be alone but the money was still there.

Puma will jump into action and.... score low with a 15 (41 for the Light Blindness miss chance).
