*facepalm* I don’t know why I forget about the melee attack for grappling. Melee: 21

No probs - could you roll me an attack roll? The "private" is flat footed at the moment, defence 15

Grapple on the solider: 32 Use a HP to gain Improved Grapple so she can handle him with one hand if needed. Plan is to yoink him to the door and yeet him out, herself too if she has to.

(GM Post) As Predator carried Echohead across the rooftops, the wannabe secret agent could...feel. He could feel, below him, the beings moving around now that he was close enough, and Predator carrying him gave him the time to focus. Each of the Dennis Deacons, even in their brains, was the same. More than 'the same', they were identical. These weren't surface level changes to the individual person. Even the connections in a person's brain were overwritten. Memories, IQ, Feelings, Emotions. All of them were all the exact same. But it wasn't just one mind; there was a second, somewhere, laying over each of the brains; a passenger, on each of the Dennis Deacon's brains. There was something at the root of this, infecting the inside of the brains. And then the pair were at the hospital, and one of the windows opened. In the darkness, lit only by the slowly flashing sign, someone waved them in. "Hurry, get in here before they see you. We're trying to hide in here." The voice was panicked, concerned, scared. It opened the window and stepped back to let the two in. "I don't know who you are, but I'm hoping you can help." In their hands or attached to their suits, the scanners they built beeped. They needed to get into the Hospital. To find the original Dennis Deacon and begin calibrations.

(GM Post) "Thank you, Lawrence." The huntress said. She continued to stay quiet, observing what was going on with Neko and the hunter carefully. The Hunter himself did absolutely nothing to help the wounded woman, in fact he went to push her out of the way before realizing she was fake! "Get out of the way, you crazed bird! I'm hunting!" then the cats came after him and he yelled in surprise. "Blimey! There weren't supposed to be any moggy in this forest!" he yelped as he fled, attempting to hide behind a tree, but not being exactly sure where his prey is. "Drones! Take them out! I don't want to be mucking about with this, I'm still tracking that big palooka!" At his order, the drones chirped like birds and moved directly towards the Claremonters and their guide; they were clearly fully autonomous, at least in some way, shooting bright red lasers into the foliage; precise beams struck Kazra in the hip again, leaving a nasty burn that smelled quite...unnerving. The drones continued to float around, trying to keep the group pinned in their hiding place for when the hunter finally managed to get his focus back in.

Alright. With Timeout's healing power and Kazra's Constitution, she gets rid of the Stagger since the total is about 10, and the Bruises and Injuries heal automatically. Esquire is totally concealed, so he's going to attempt to hide himself. Stealth Results 1d20+10: 11 [1d20=1] That's an awful roll so that doesn't work at all! But it's the Drone's turn next! So since there's 6 of them, they're going to take 1 shot at each person- starting with Kazra, then Timeout, then Iris, then Daniel, and 2 at Neko! I'm rolling them all at once but I'll highlight which is which here; Attack Roll Results 6#1d20+6: 6 # 26 [1d20=20] 12 [1d20=6] 17 [1d20=11] 26 [1d20=20] 13 [1d20=7] 17 [1d20=11] So the listings are: Kazra is Crit at 26 Timeout is missed so I'm not even rolling his concealment Iris versus 17 Daniel is crit at 26 Neko has 13 and 17. These are against Defense. The damage is DC 20, so DC25 with the two Crits. Toughness Results 1d20+8: 17 [1d20=9] Kazra is Bruised and Dazed again. @Dracostern that will make it Iris and Daniel's turn :), then Neko's Round 1 Neko: 28, 1HP Kazra: 26, Dazed, 1x Bruised Timeout: 21, 4HP Esquire: 21, Everyone has Total Concealment from him. Drones: 13, 6 of them - Iris: 4 2HP Daniel: 4

Nick kept his ears open in response to Artificer's question. When you were attuned to the flow of death, you got very used to picking up on the Doppler shift of sirens, in order to figure out whether they were getting closer or further. These ones were getting further. "They're not coming here," he said. "Whatever's going down, it seems to be reaching a fever pitch already. Let's go." Nick was eager to bolt for his car, if only to arrive in style, but this was not the time for style. If he needed to catch a flight on Air Atlantis, he would. Sea Devil, already in flight, could see the source of distress clearly. A small building, flames licking the roof. The sound of shrill police sirens was soon joined by the loud honking of fire trucks. She landed outside, taking a closer look at the house. It was a one-story house in colors of midnight blue and seafoam green, with a sign in large gilded letters that had yet to be consumed by flames: HOUSE OF DOORS AND MIRRORS. Windows were apparently not a part of the equation, as each one was covered in black with thin scrapes. A garage abutted the house, its doors sealed shut. And echoing through the house at some ferocity that it was hard to place the source, all Sea Devil could feel was a long, low keening...

It felt like it had been a long time since the two of them had gotten to have a date together or outing, at the least without some form of interruption one way or another. So, to be able to go out with Michael without any sort of interruption spoiling it was a relaxing affair, even if it was to a public venue. A dinner date after school a sandwich place by the library, a simple and easy sort of date that cost nothing other than the price of decent priced hero themed sandwiches, and not a single alien invasion or time anomaly in sight as well. Carmen had ordered something that was called the Johnny Rocket, a sort of tuna sandwich with lettuce and tomato, alongside some sort of pepper relish that was rather to her own liking. The were-cat girl would even manage on this date between the two would not pick off the vegetables that were on it, a habit that she was told by the school counselor and her pediatrician to try and change. A slow and simple thing that she was working to fix over time, told that it would keep herself fit and active in her rather athletic lifestyle. A simple and easy meal in peace that she would have with her boyfriend, all comfortably out of the way of most prying eyes as to give them a bit of privacy under the shadow of the stone sphinx. Idly biting into it as they stood together, Carmen would watch him play with the yo-yo, "Only a little. I can't do any tricks, but I can make it work for a while. Think one kid would always get in trouble back home using it like a flail."

Toughness save: 22 That’s a bruise for it Ref save: 17 Ans it’s Dazzled Man, the dice are really favoring the heroes. Wildchild - bruise x2, dazed monstrosity - bruised, dazzled Diamondlight - unharmed, 1HP Sea Devil - unharmed, 4HP Nightscale - unharmed, 4HP @Avenger Assembled Sea Devil is up.

GM Nightscale and Wildchild struggled on the ground with grunts and growls from both. The genetically modified vampire snapping her teeth in an angry hiss before the dragon in man form lands a solid blow, dazing her visibly, nearly going limp in his grip. The two were suddenly drowned out but the sound of gunfire from Detective Ramsey’s police issued pistol. The creature that was the woman snarled at the attack but showed no sign of caring about the little metal bits being flung at it. Where the woman once stood, now a monster from a Carpenter or Cronenburg film stood in the tattered remains of its dress that did little in covering anything that had once been human anatomy. “I will tear your hearts from your chests and feast on them.” The creature's voice was rough and scratchy, like iron nails on stone as she snarled at the detectives. “But first…” It swung its angular face in Sea Devil’s direction and what could only be a sneer twisted its face. With a speed that betrays its new mass, one hand of dagger-like claws lash out at the deep one. But her swing is wide and deadly looking claws whistle through the air short of Sea Devil’s armored face plate as the hero easily dodges. Diamondlight seizes the opportunity to strike. And in a flash, literally, he attacks and then the hero is back where he was. Almost as if he never moved. The only evidence of his attack is a clean slice that reeks of burnt flesh, blood and ickor. That, and the cry of rage from the monster as it swipes at the lights still dancing in front of its eyes in futility.

Freedom City has been rebooted! It's time to retell your character's origins with the hindsight of 5, 10 or even more time spent with the character. What changes? What stays the same? Or Imagine what it would be like if the character had been created in the Gold, Silver, Bronze or even... Iron Age. How would things change if they were written during those times. You can either ignore or embrace those aspects of the characters that would be considered problematic then, but just remember to keep things within the site rules. Your reboot stories should be posted no later than the 30th June 2024. (As a reminder, vignettes follow the same general rules as posts in terms of content, player character limits, and so on. You may have only one vignette per player character. Each vignette should be at least one page (~500 words) in length; if posted in your thread counts at the end of the month, it is worth 1pp for the associated character. An especially long vignette, 1000 words or more, may be worth up to 2pp. Multiple players can collaborate on a single vignette - we recommend Google Docs for this, it's very useful - but the vignette should be about one page per participating player.)

Interesting. Alright, let's keep that in the back pocket for now, maybe find a auitably dramatic time for you to have to learn some skills from something that may not have the right body shape. Wiith an 18 and Leaping 3 + wall crawling I figure Predator can get over the rooftops good enough. I'll do a GM post in a little bit if you want to post in response to Predator carrying you IC

Diamondlight Diamondlight took a step or two back, involountary fear driving his body whilst his eyes gazed at the monster before him. "You don't see that every day..." he whispered, somewhat subdued in tone, with a raised eyebrow. Despite his cool exterior, he could feel his heart pumping adrenaline into his muscles, feel the sweat soaking into his shirt. It felt cold, like his skin. But he propelled himself out of his fear. This was a moment for action, not lamentation or indecision. In a flash, he was right by the monster, slicing across with a laser blade of silver-blue energy that flared with the swing, with the impact. And in another flash he was back where he started, eyes focussed, laser blade brought behind him, ready to swing back if need be...

Diamondlight is going to teleport to the monstrosity, strike it with a laser blade, and then (with turnabout feat), teleport (yo yo style) back to his original position. 26 which I suspect (and hope!) hits. If so, a DC 26 Tough Save (Dazzle) and a DC 21 Reflex Save (Visual Dazzle)

GM "5 minutes to landing..." came the call. The snoozing private started shaking violently. "Godamn it, he's having a seizure!" roared the concerned captain rushing over. In but a heartbeat he was flung across the aircraft interior, collapsing in a heap against the dented fusilage. Jean recognised the seizure, the sweat, the drool. Just the same as the so-called Doctor North. The private stood up, veins on his necks taught like wire, pulsing, eyes bulging, red. And in a flash, the private was racing into the cockpit... Just as the plane started its descent...

Can we have initiative rolls, @Dracosternand @Poncho?

GM General Sparks raised his sparking fist and shook it at the heroes far below him. "I AM AN ENORMOUS MOUNTAIN OF GORGONZOLA, SCUM! YOU WILL NOT FIND A BIGGER CHEESE IN THE UNIVERSE. FOR I, AND ONLY I, HAVE THE POWER OF ELECTRICITY!" The heavens rumbled. A storm was about to break. "YOU CANNOT IMAGINE MY UNIMAGINABLE... POW....ER!" The first drops of the storm hit he heroes. A second later, there was a downpour!

Echohead could copy acrobatics but has the "calibration needed" complication... as Jean is very different physically it would take Jim time to pract8ce the skill in new body. Would be a fun complication to put into action?

Wildchild is dazed Monster lady swipes at Sea Devil Melee attack: 17 And misses Wildchild - bruise x2, dazed monstrosity - unharmed Diamondlight - unharmed, 1HP Sea Devil - unharmed, 4HP Nightscale - unharmed, 4HP @Supercape Diamondlight is up

Predator The smooth face of the Predator armor reflected Echohead’s nervousness, but behind it, he just knew… The vixen was giving him an apologetic look, but there was a tinge of mirth behind it. Predator secured her scanner and scooped Echohead up into a carry. Luckily, the man wasn’t taller than her in the armor. “Hold on tight.” Oh ya, she was definitely finding this humorous. He had an idea of how her mind worked right now. Thrusters fired and the duo were airborne. The arch of her trajectory carried them to the first rooftop. A second leap carried them further, where her fingers dung into the wall of the building. She shifted Echohead and climbed up to the ledge. Predator and Echohead continued making their way towards the hospital, one rooftop at a time.

Predator Jean smiled at the officer then regarded the private. “I try not to judge until I have evidence.” She gave the nervous looking solider a nod before turning her attention to the captain. The speakers crackled to life and Jean’s demeanor shifted slightly. She sat up straighter and checked her buckles. “Well now, I hope you packed warm clothing.” On the ground Jean stood from her seat. There was a shimmer in the air around her, the subtle sound of air being displaced and the Predator armor appeared around her.

She also has Leaping 3 and Wall-Crawling 1 under her Movement array. And her light-load is over a ton if it helps. Her Skill Mastery in Acrobatics will only nab her an 18 though. So, if she still needs one. Acrobatics: 12 Oh, come on… Reroll: 26 first roll was good, but I accidentally typed in 1d29 so it didn’t count
