All Activity

Shift With the massive Big Horn down for the count, it has time for Shift to switch targets. In a matter of seconds, she scanned the entire battlefield with all her advanced sensory apparatus, noting all her allies and the various enemies. There was a lot going on, but one piece of data intrigued her: one of the Legions just made a duplicate. Now it was certainly possible that any of the identical super-criminals could make a double, but this is the first time she'd seen one do so. But what if this Legion was the prime? What impact might their be on the duplicates if this one was hurt or incapacitated? All of this calculation and analysis took place at incredibly high speed; what most people saw was one one of the robot's extended arms lash out like a bull whip and strike one of the Legions right across her face with a painful crack.

Cerebral and Cerebellum Unfortunately for Adele, Iris has seemingly slipped away and was not currently with the rest of the students. Daniel was, however, and he seemed to be getting up to dance as well! Though seemingly by himself. The young man headed after Sam as well and just let loose when he had enough room. A skilled Dancer he was not...but he was having fun at least. Meanwhile Iris nodded her head. "That makes sense. It's nice to meet you two. Might I ask, have you been to Claremont?"

La Puma Negra Just as Carmen was lined up to grab it, watching it with a relatively trained eye as brought her hands up to catch it. That was before someone decided to use their powers to make it a bit more of a challenge. The ball seemed pause for the smallest of moments, so quick it was that it was barely registerable before. The space between them had expanded and then the space from the ground itself was as well. A smile would now form on her face, a real challenge was to be had now as she got on all four and began to chase after it as it moved with a renewed momentum. "I got it... I got it... I got it!" she says, jumping up to grab it, the synthetic leather ball sliding into her hands before she came back down to the sandy ground.

How far away is Cerebral from the bottom floor?

La Puma Negra After slashing through the Omegadrone's throat, Puma would recover with a skid across the pavement, claws digging in after moving at breakneck and superhuman speeds. Black liquid coated her nails and hands as the automaton fell over unmoving and dead as it possibly could be. The fight wasn't over, but it was a brief pause, one which they could take a breath and relax. Puma didn't know how long this would last and where everyone else was as this all felt too real for this to be some imaginary world. It was all far too real. "Get out alive sounds like a good idea!" Puma says aloud, the smell of liquid was making her uncomfortable.

Cerebral and Cerebellum The giant machine, while not completely destroyed, seemed to be out of the fight, maybe it somehow realized it couldn't win and just gave up? The twins didn't now sentient these things were after all. Iris gripped the pike and ran over to Daniel and began to look him over once or twice. "Are you hurt? sick? Feel ok? I'm here if you need me-." She seemed to be worrying a bit too much but Daniel shut that down right away by placing a hand on her shoulder. "Iris, I'm alright, what about you?" The female twin seemed a bit shaken but confirmed that she was alright. Once that was cleared up the twins would turn towards the others and move closer to them. "So....what's the plan?" Daniel asked.

As mentioned on Discord, right now the temporal barrier around it is effectively PLX, although that can change.

Time to buy Lawrence some time, then! Gonna drop Parker's stunt and switch Space Movement Array to Flight, then fly straight for the big bad not!Time Trapper, which, as I've been informed on discord, has barrier around that Parker's senses can feel is there. And then I'm gonna punch it. It's stationary, so no attack roll, so gonna do a full Power Attack, for a DC30 Toughness save. 1PP dropped from the Super-Strength boost means I'm at +7.5 Super-Strength ranks, so +7 boost.

@Supercape do you want the easy success or do you want the HP?

Predator One of the alien soldiers attacked Predator, but she avoided it. Even as she reached out, the blades slid back into the gauntlets and she grabbed the attacker. She attempted to spin him around and grapple him, but the alien managed to twist himself and her grip failed to secure a grip. Her mechanical fingers unable to find purchase where they slipped from its armor. Predator gave the Boran a nod and assumed a defensive posture as she noticed the larger one she’d knocked down getting back up.

"Yes... right... codenames," Carmen spoke in response to her mentor, hearing the praises that Patriot was giving her. The young heroine's time with the Patriot had been a hectic one, but not one that wasn't full of vital experience needed in her heroic career. Carmen could also breathe easy as it seemed as though her mentor liked Michael, the first step to success as it was now already achieved. Now it was only just dealing with the many fans here to not only see the baseball game but Patriot herself as well, getting a bonus in seeing two more young heroes alongside her as she left the prized stuffed animal in the office for the time being. This would be a true test far worse than dealing with some interdimensional stellar dragon, alien warlords and royalty, or even space wolves from the moon. In fact, it would far much worse than La Puma Negra could ever have anticipated. The presenting was fine and all, recognized under her heroic name alongside Micheal, but the real trouble arose when he was introduced as her +1, leading to the easy speculation of what their relationship was alongside holding each other if it wasn't more obvious, "Only a little while... he's a great boyfriend... and hero," she's stammering a bit. If she had taken public speaking as a class she was sure that she would have flunked it at this point. Regardless of what answer was given, Carmen was already uncomfortable with all the eyes on her, sucking it up and holding on to her composure even if the spoken word was less than desired. Other question arose that were a bit more personal, avoiding them the best she could. "No no, I can't answer that," Puma spoke in response to her and similarities to another former hero, answering it again in much the same way to a local Spanish language reporter. It was the only time her appearance came up as a question, only getting a strange look from the kid that armed wrestled Patriot, "No puedo responder a eso en este momento.... Sí, soy de Puerto Rico. Aguadilla: Señor."

"Of course, Code names from here on." He smiled as he took Puma's arm in his own to walk with her behind the Freedom Leaguer. He knew he was the +1, and he was going to play to that; he was supportive and he had no issues not being the most important person in the room; if anything he had gotten pretty good at that. So he kept his arm on hers and waved politely at each person. He cheered politely for Destin but did not step into the way; he was meeting the Patriot, and Golden Star was not going to get in the way of that or even imply that he was anything here; he was a polite, friendly, and open Superhero who was happy to be the third most important Hero here. He had never traveled with a Superhero before, not really, but he had practiced things like this, and he wanted to make a good impression, so even if he was limited in actionable experience, he managed to present himself well and diplomatically, shaking hands and smiling for cameras. For their romantic life, however, he worked to skillfully avoid many questions- especially those that cute too close-, or if he was answering honestly, he gave the answer in such a way that it was hard to tell if it was a joke or not. "Yes, we were working together as Heroes before we dated. We mutually asked each other out on Valentine's day, right before that surprise Alien Issue, if you remember that. So you could say our first date was protecting the City itself. Puma is a wonderful Hero and a credit to both herself and her mentor, I look up to her quite a bit." he said with a wave. "I'm lucky to have someone like her." he was confident in his answers and spoke up about Puma without putting himself, or others, down. However, he was also making sure he wasn't hogging spotlight or speaking too much. It was all a difficult balancing act, and one he was trying his best to maintain. All without making Carmen uncomfortable either. He wasn't going to talk for her, but if she needed help, he was there to give it.

@Heritage Yes, that is good enough to hit. DC 27 toughness save right? She gets a 17 on her toughness save, so staggered and dazed!

Shift with attempt to hit Visor, taking advantage of Elongation to smack him at a distance, using her arm like a whip. Arm Whip! 1d20+8=20 Is that enough to hit Visor? Edit: wait, I wanted to hit the original Legion, I just forgot! Does a dirty 20 hit her?

"Come now, Rex." Dwayne said almost teasingly to the younger man as he adjusts his suit and checks his alien watch. "If I wasn't up for some rescue work, I wouldn't have been an EMT, and I definitely wouldn't have taken the offer to join the family." he looked across, to the other room, the portal and the different dimension, and nodded. "I'm ready when everyone else is, so let's get to it; we can't know what's on the other side until we get there, I would assume? So we'll have to be careful and keep our wits about us. But I'm sure we can managed whatever is going on." He said confidently. "And if someone's in need of help, then there's no way I can look away."

Well, it is a minion, so there was no attack roll need. Sadly, it just makes its grapple check with a 32 as well, so avoids the grapple.

Inspire 3 on: Blue Bolt, Torpedo Lass II, Sever, Spaceman, and Timeout. drops my HP to 2. EDIT: to clarify, that's +3 to Attacks, Saving Throws you make, and skill checks for the round, until my turn comes back up again.

"Ow." Michael had landed on his back, hurled off by Paradigm with a powerful toss and landing a distance away. "Well that sucked." he groaned as he slowly got up, very unstable on his feet. He'd already given most of his power to Parker, and whatever else he had was minimal, and he was exhausted from stretching his powers, getting hit by creatures, grappling Paradigm, and everything else. He was very tired. Which wasn't something he had been for a very long time. As he got his bearings back around, he had to pause. He couldn't keep pushing like he was, he was straining against the boundaries of his possible limits, and he was smart enough at sports to know that doing that was how you ended up ruining things. So he paused. And waited. He looked at what was going on, and his friends. Then he brought his hands to his mouth and released an ear splitting whistle. "Alright!" his voice was loud, reaching out like a thunderbolt- or the sound of a sun lash- as he yelled. He was bloody and bruised and his shiny uniform was cut and damaged, but he was still standing up resiliently, no matter what went against him. "Blue Bolt! Keep it up! You're doing great! Keep Buzz safe until you can get him over here!" he paused and looked around. "Once you get Buzz here, can you help Sever and Super Cav? We should try to gather back up here, especially now that Timeout has shown he can fight this stuff." He turned his attention to the stranded Ryan and Mizuki next "Sever, Super Cav! Stay at each other's backs and try to get over to some support! I know we left you out to dry but you're fine, just try to slowly work your way back to us without leaving the other behind! You get close enough to us and we can all meet back up!" He paused and took a deep breath because his ribs were hurting but he didn't flinch as he looked at Parker and Lawrence. "Spaceman, I can't carry you anywhere right now, so you may be stuck here until I can catch my breath." he paused and looked at Paradigm. "...Unless Paradigm will be kind enough to hurl you into another pile of drones?" he suggested. "Because you and Blue Bolt were definitely doing the most in getting rid of all these things, and the clearer the skies are, the less we're getting worn down by a thousand cuts." "Timeout, I'll be right here to keep them off you, but I'm getting the feeling you're gonna have to do that trick again on some more of our opponents; so...I'm relying on you to do what I know you can do, because I have complete confidence in you." he said with absolute conviction.

I’m guessing the Boran that chased her tried a melee attack, she will close the short distance and attempt to grapple them. Melee: 23 I assume that hits Grapple: 32

Diamondlight August had the distinct feeling that he had jumped in to a nest of vipers. He was being played. A large part of him felt a seething fury - at the casino, at the system, and in himself. But an even larger part swamped his fury. The adrenaline, the sweat, the challenge. He could not resist a smirk. More than one game was being played here. He toned down his play. He started to lose. Deliberately. Playing bad hands, folding with good hands. Subtle, nuanced. His aim was to play badly, or, to be more precise, randomly. To lose hands, but to lose as little money as possible. To give the impression of losing, of paucity of skill, without actually losing chips. Lose hands, not chips. At the very least it would slow down the AI's adaptive responses. And more importantly it would give him more information on what was going on here... and what the psychology of the players was. He ordered another drink, slightly exageratting his movements, subtly slurring his words. Maybe he would look slightly drunk, but he wouldn't drink. "Quite the game..." he said, excitedly, to his fellow players casually flipping the minimum bet into the pot (Despite a good hand). "Whats the prize, eh? Did you come for the glory or the rush?"

Rev "Hey, its never too early too learn how to drive! Who knows when you might need to chase Doctor Tonic through the streets of Freedom City in a super-spy car armed with automatic glue guns, eh?" said Rev, giving a little elbow. She tapped her chin at the thought of a Super-Submarine. "That does sound cool," she said to Mizuki. "And given enough time and cash, I could probably make that for you. But honestly, I am a mechanic, not an engineer. I can patch things up and build faster than anyone I know, except maybe those god-awful Speedsters like Velocity. But if you need design than maybe we need some proper scientist like Doctor Archeville. Although I have done a few repairs on Diamondlights submarine car. Very cool car, even if Diamondlight is a bit of a rich dick. What an ass, eh?" "As for water planets, count me out! I rust!" she laughed. "And you can't drive on water planets!"

Okay, in order to keep this moving, will move on. @Huckleberry Please provide the toughness saves when you can, as well as any action you want for this round. @Poncho Golden Star is up!

@Tiffany Korta @Avenger Assembled @Dracostern @MoonSimply @TheAbsurdist Okay, rather than let this get held up, going to say that Jotunn was able to deal with the Omegadrone he was fighting. So, there is a brief lull in the action, as there are no active Omegadrones on the group (there are 15 a block away, but they are stuck in Neko's Obscure). Going to say the giant robot is out of this fight and shuts down do to the damage (as it really cannot do anything anyway and not sure it is worth another round of beating on it). So people can throw up some ICs posts as everyone tries to catch their breath.

GM The Omegadrone has been readying its pike to try to stab at Owain once again when La Puma came up and racked her claws across its throat. The black, viscous liquid that seemed to flow through these cyborgs came running down the front of its armor as it stumbled backward a few steps and then collapsed to the ground. "Oh, of course." Bruiser responded as he watched Bernadette and her duplicate leap into action against the currently downed giant robot. The hulking figured leapt over towards the giant robot, his thick arms wrapping around its head as the two redheads pulled at the connection to the head. Squeezing tightly enough that the metal of the robot’s head caved in slightly, Bruiser pulled with all his might as Bernadette and her duplicate pulled. There was a loud scraping of metal as Bruiser further crushed part of the head and eventually part of the metal Bernadette and her duplicate were pulling on tore free, causing the two to stagger a few steps before regaining their balance. While the giant robot’s head was still mostly attached to its body, it was badly damaged and at a partial angle as Bruiser lost his grip and took a few steps back as well. Where the robot had been starting to push itself back upright, it collapsed back down onto the ground, not appearing to be fully out of the fight just yet, but certainly badly damaged.

Let's see if J'onn knows anything with some Galactic Lore: 22 There's probably still remnants or escapees of some of the older groups that J'onn's grandfather took part in stopping to unify the planet, but there's nothing specific I've decided on. Might even have been old enemies, like Kath'lana points out.
