The Creature growled gutturally as the pig avoided it's attack by closing it's eyes. Instead, it decided to change tactics. Or... Revert tactics. It expanded it's body and added numerous grasping arms to the mix as it's snarling reached a fever pitch, becoming a roar at the same time as a false pounce using it's elasticity. Stopping itself in the middle of the pounce it shifted, the many limbs becoming raking claws that shredded through the pig's hide.

The Dreamer Watching the combat unfold for a moment after the young man's... Rather fast words it was clear that he was talking to someone else. She gets to the Dreaming theory, but on the off chance they it wasn't... The Carnifex roared into existence, a grin nearly taking in it's ears even as it's obsidian-like hair either independently. It took in the appearance of the robot for a moment as it was bound by the stranger before turning to The Dreamer, "Oh, you got me a present?" Unimpressed by the Dream Demon's antics, The Dreamer just glared at it until it sighed. "Alright, I'll destroy the robot monster, but I'm not leaving after. I want to meet your new team." With that, it leapt forwards, powerful limbs forcing it across the room in moments. To that end, it raised stoney fists high into the air before bringing them down on the creature in a final instant, metal cratering around them. The Carnifex and The Dreamer both watched as the machine gave off some last whines before shutting down. The Dream Demon made a noise of disappointment afterwards. "Well, it was no Ultio Suit, but it was more fight than some pickpocket." The Dreamer ignored the creature and instead wheeled further into the workshop, silently. She hadn't decided if this was real yet, but if these really were the Atom Academy then she didn't want to mess things up more than The Carnifex already would. For now she'd probably stick to introductions. Fixing her well practiced polite smile to her face, she started talking. "Now that the situation is handled I should probably introduce myself. My name is Adrianna Liddel, I am sorry about my tardiness, the city layout got the better of me." Behind her, The Carnifex was poking the fallen robot curiously.

Yeah that's fair. Aoife is gonna use Move Action Intimidate (Definitely Startle, not Distract, no siree) with Skill Mastery for 10+23-5 = 28 to drop the piggy to flat-footed and switch Shadow Power to Shadow Claws and Shadow Evolution to Shadowbeast Combat before attacking. 1d20+8 = 16 and fingers crossed for a hit.
-
Aoife has Evasion 2, 1d20+8 = 17, but still halved on DC, 1d20+8 = 20. She's okay. Aoife is then gonna reuse the Drain Wisdom/Emotion Control, DC18 Will to resist.
-
The Dreamer is gonna switch Summon Array to The Carnifex ex Imaginatio. Talked with Rocket and he said that it'd get to act immediately. With that, It's gonna leap forwards, All-out-Attacking -4 Defense/+4 Attack, and then Power Attacking -5 Attack/+5 Damage, so it has no Defense, +3 to Hit, and DC30 if it hits. Total Bonus: (+3 Base) + (+4 Adjacent Target) = +7, the I-rex should have defense... Nothing. At all I think. Helpless means Defense 5+Size Mod (4 total since is large), and Bound gives another -4? For a defense of nada, but essentially 1. Anyway, 1d20+7 = 13. It hits, DC30 toughness for the I-rex.

Shadowborne Muirne stewed for several long moments as Charlie listed reasons why they should team up. She liked working with them, and wasn't fond of the idea of letting Casanova do whatever he wanted but wasn't sure where to draw the line as to what to do. If she'd listened to Aoife she would have hunted him down like a prey animal through the campus, and if it'd been Luke or someone hit by him she couldn't say she probably would have. And why should you not deserve the same revenge? He is the same as Dougal just weaker, and you hunted him as he deserved. Dougal was different, he killed and enslaved my entire village. My family. Do you think he wouldn't do the same thing given the chance? Besides, you didn't answer my first question. There are others who who can help to stop him, it's not just me. And... It's just me. That's a shit reason. Muirne scowled into her drink, the shadows which she'd covered her throat with dancing around her body agitatedly until the settled over her mouth and throat again, her voice ringing out without her will. "I'm in. Let's get some bad guys." She hid her surprise at the words, pretending that she'd planned on that as Aoife radiated smugness even as she wrested control off of Aoife and stored the power into her well. She'd remember this.

Shadowborne Muirne quickly moved to reassure Neko as she apologized, wondering why she looked ashamed. "Hey, it's alright. I'm not offended or anything, I... I guess you could say I'm a bit removed from the war." She offered the tray of muffins again when the sounds began signalling Danica's arrival. It is the Turtle Girl. She looks different. "Hey Danica, it's good to see you. I like the new look." Quickly she channelled her darkness into her free arm again, holding in a wince at the pain that always came with her using her powers. Still, it was done and she picked up the bowl of cookies before extending out the arm to offer them to Danica. "I made muffins and cookies, feel free to help yourself!"
-
Shadowborne Muirne smiled at Neko's description of her home, even if she seemed to struggle with it a bit. She knew what it was like to talk about her home, especially when her grasp of English hadn't been the best. Which is partly why she was glad of the warm reception her offer of lessons had received, she knew how frustrating her own experiences had been. Her smile reduced slightly at the sudden German and the following question of nationality. She'd heard of Nacht-Krieger, since their powers were similar and came from the same source. She was pretty sure that was the reason for the question. "No, I'm Kentish, uh, that is, I'm from Kent in England. I've heard of Nacht-Krieger though, so I get why you'd ask..." She rubbed the back of her head awkwardly as she tripped over herself to answer.
-
Shadowborne Muirne's smile faltered slightly at Neko's question before she shook her head. "No, uh... I use power from a dimension called the Schattenwelt, and can also teleport there. No magic involved!" She carefully put the bowl of cookies down on the couch. "By the way, Neko. If you want lessons in English I can help." She had gone through learning English once and figured she could help avoid some of the issues she'd had learning. Besides, she was quite happy making more friends and was sure her roommate wouldn't mind terribly. Surely Neko wouldn't shed when she was human shaped.

Muirne's thoughts were a bit less... metal cover than Luke's thoughts. She wasn't vulnerable to anything like that, but she did have some weaknesses that it might be good to bring up. "Uh, I don't have any aversion to anything holy, Síþwíf Brooks but I am vulnerable to silver, and when I'm using my powers I can become weak to fire and light." She quietly breathed out a sigh as she leaned back into the chair, trying to dispel her worry about the magical things she was about to face. Transform. I will handle things. Scowling slightly, Muirne ignored Aoife even as shadows ran over her body before she got them under control. "Out of curiosity, what is the possible worst case scenario outside of being a zombie?"
-
On the bright side, there's some pretty intense stuff going on out the front. BTW, would the 250ft. Radius on the Concealment/Environmental Control reach Leon?

Shadowborne Muirne had to admit that the cat's presence was confusing but the girl's response was a bit on the rude side if she had to be honest, regardless she wasn't going to be brought down by it. Some people just weren't fond of animals and that was... Well she didn't super understand why, but she wasn't going to judge regardless. The sensation of someone else being present was a tad more concerning, but she'd felt the sensation of being watched plenty of times since she'd awoken without anyone being there, and had grown accustomed to odd things. Still, she leaned into her life sense and found nothing to be amiss which was reassuring. Regardless, she smiled at the others who seemed appreciative of her baking, offering the duplicate who'd complimented her baking the muffin tray. "Þancian þú,1 feel free to help yourself!" She gave a small chuckle at the other girl's preoccupation, and resolved to save at least one as she'd asked. She almost dropped the muffin tray in surprise at the sudden transformation of the cat... girl, but recovered far enough to avoid a tragedy. "Oh, hello! Are you a shapeshifter? I'm Muirne, I don't speak Japanese sorry." Registering the other girl's question about rooms she turned to face her, feeling her shadows run over her face causing her eyes to become glowing pinpricks of light, which she hoped wasn't intimidating. "I guess I'll be your roommate then, and don't worry, I don't have any pets." 1 Thank you

Shadowborne Muirne had managed to move in without too much trouble earlier since she had only needed to move a single floor, which wasn't exactly the most difficult traversal for someone with her powers. Instead she's decided to try her hands at baking after remembering her own welcome to the fourth floor the previous year. The muffins and cookies weren't the prettiest and she'd had to use her powers to do some things, like avoid burning her hands by turning them to shadow, which she was pretty sure wouldn't affect the flavour... I don't see the point of this. I want to make a good first impression with my new floormates. Having friends isn't exactly a bad thing. Hmmmmmmm... Ignoring the feeling that Aoife had drawn the wrong conclusion she walked up the stairs to the common area, wreathed in shadows with her arms literally wrapped around a bowl of cookies and tray of muffins. "Wilcumian gehwa1! I made some things to welcome everyone, hope you like them!" She'd overheard something about duplicates and guessed it was the identical girl's but wasn't going to make any assumptions or comment until she had confirmation. 1 Welcome everyone

Okay, grapple rules reckon that she can deal damage as part of a grapple, going full python over here. So DC28 toughness from Brute please, otherwise maintaining the grapple on him she's going to keep trying to bury them.
-
Yeah that hits easily lol. 1d20+12 = 32!!! Nat twenty!!!
-
Oh jeez that hits easily even without the flat footed and they don't have good odds of passing that anyway! Just because the overkill is funny I'll say that he fails! Toughness save to avoid being splashed to the four winds: 13 That'll be a no champ. He's a minion so even if he wasn't completely brutalized rolls wise he still goes down. @RocketLord, Mette is up next.

Sorry about the delay everyone. So, five reflex saves followed by five Dex saves! Reflex the first: 19, close but no cigar! Das zweite reflex: 6, someone is a bit clumsy. Third time's the charm? 4, nein. Akene tenei wa: 19, close only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades and thermonuclear detonations. And bowls I suppose: 17 To the surprise of no one, they failed! Improved Trip means that they need to beat dex saves, although their size category helps them at least. Maero used dex save! 6 It was not very effective! Maero, digivolve to! 7 Failuremon! It's time to d- d- d- d- d-d-d-d- dex save! 6 well, off to the shadow realm with you! I've run out of kids anime! 16 double digits finally! Something something beyblade? 24 one of them actually made a save! I suppose if was mathematically likely. Okay, with that, one manages to brace itself against the tide while the rest of them... Don't. That's four trips rank 12 vs -9 knockback resist making them go back 5 feet and prone!

Shadowborne Muirne suppressed a laugh at the demand to drop their weapons as they pointed guns at them. Grinning wryly she turned to her friend, "Oh no, Outrider! Whatever shall we do!? They have guns!" Upon the final word she released a wave of her darkness, imposing the shadows and cold of the Schattenwelt onto the world around her. She quickly stepped to the side to avoid any panicked gunfire. She looked towards the gunmen, tightening her grasp on her spear. She hoped that El and Leon weren't too bothered by the darkness. Or the cold for that matter, but she was willing to bet that it was at least a good distraction for Leon.
-
Right, rules are fun. It is touch range so the center of the effect is Aoife, not sure who'd be affected there
-
I should mention that the Visual Perception Area isn't selective, so everyone needs a DC18 Reflex followed by a DC18 Will if they fail. As it is Perception area no save is needed if Reflex is passed.

Shadowborne Muirne quietly picked at her food as the others around her ate. She was... Angry. And sad. And a lot of things. Casanova had used her against her friends, turned her against them and then gotten away with it. She'd seen him the day after and had barely managed to avoid transforming and attacking him. She was pretty sure someone had noticed given she'd still ended up partially transformed. She took a deep breath to calm herself before her mood showed, she didn't want to spoil the lunch. She still wanted to spend time with the others, it was just hard when she knew she'd fought them. Muirne took a large bite of her burger to distract herself just before Charlie asked his question and inhaled the piece, causing her to splutter as Aoife practically instantly responded with a resounding YES! Muirne saved herself from death by burger by transforming her throat to shadow, and forgot to turn it back before responding. "What brought this on?" She winced at the sound of her voice and quickly got rid of the shadows.
-
Well, Muirne is gonna make it dark(er) and cold(er) by activating her Schattenwelt Imposition. Then she's gonna quietly move around to their side.

The Creature snarled as it's shadowy body slithered through the reverberating squealing shockwave, unperturbed physically but thoroughly irritated nonetheless. Drawing deeply of it's power, it could feel its Modor's concern as the darkness began to swirl around it. She knew this power, and so did it. The Creature screamed back at the pig, a warbling cry that could come from no human lungs and did not seem to come from any specific part of it. Alongside that cry came the gathered power, grasping pieces of darkness seeking watching eyes to steal courage and will. Pride welled up in it as it congratulated itself on it's attack, thinking of how their mental defences would now be weakened even as it stared the hated pig in the eyes. The Creature wanted to eat the pig, soul and all.

Okay, it took me using the find in page tool, but Aoife does in fact have Evasion 2, which is nice to know! 1d20+8 = 22 so no effect! Aoife is gonna respond in kind, switching Shadow Power to Alternate Power: [16 + 4 = 20PP] Additional Descriptor(s): (Fear, Terror, Curse) Drain Wisdom 8 (Fear; Extras: Alternate Save [Will], Area [Visual Perception], Linked [Emotion Control]) [16PP] Emotion Control 8 (Fear; Extras: Area [Visual Perception], Linked [Drain]; Flaws: Limited [Fear], Range 2 [Touch]) [4PP] And making this little piggy (and anyone else who can see her) flee from the market

Shooting Star Alice blinked as the stranger introduced herself as Emerald Spider, not exactly a household name in Freedom but she did know that she was one of Emerald City's Heroes. Pulling short before she went through the wall she landed on she was about to reply when Nightscale arrived, looking... Much more similar to how she did originally in terms of costume quality, which to be fair she was pretty sure he was new. He could at least wear a cape so he didn't look quite so much like a mugger. "Hey there Nightscale, agreed on the busy skies but at least it's heroes and not an alien invasion or something." She moved to pretend to be sitting in the air as she gestured to Emerald Spider, "Allow me to introduce our visitor from afar, Emerald Spider! I'm Shooting Star by the way." Alice grinned as she tacked on the last part quickly, grinning at the hero. "So what brings you to our little city? Hunting a hoverboard riding tech genius who killed your fiancé? Trying to capture a super powered alien slime monster that possessed a friend of yours? Or are you just here for sight seeing?" She grinned mischievously as she spouted off the first ridiculous scenarios that came to mind, rolling forward to appear to be lying down in mid air.
