Grapple attempt on the closest undead. Melee attack: 16 Grapple check: 21

Blackstaff The blonde that had been sitting at the front desk knocked on Christopher’s door opening it enough to poke her head in. “Yes, Lark?” He asked without looking up from his papers. The way she cleared her throat made him pause and look up though. “There’s a Professor Armitage here.” Lark said as she slipped into the office and handed Christopher a business card. His brow furrowed a little as he took the card and read it himself. Both eyebrows rose as he recognized the name. “Send him in.” He smiled at Lark and straightened his papers and set them aside. As the professor entered the office Christopher stood and offer his hand. “Professor Armitage, Christopher Daye. A pleasure, your reputation proceeds you.” He gestures to an empty chair in front of the desk. “How can I help you?” He smiles and asks as he sits.

Paper Leon quietly approached the building, not seeing any signs of recent activity outside. The door was cracked and he peeked through with the others. There was a figure on the ground inside. It seemed to be struggling against its restraints as green light and the sound of voices from further in reached them. He didn’t like this, but before he could say anything first, one Bernadette slipped inside, quickly followed by another. Leon bite back anything he was about to say. He watches as the two girls try to quietly cross the loading dock when the green light from the doorway becomes blocked. Leon silently cursed and stepped back to looked for an alternate entry pointed. After only a moment though, he sighed and shook his head. He didn’t feel like playing along anymore. He looked at Luke and shrugged, then he stepped up and threw the door open. He walked in confidently, hands in his pockets and looking directly in the direction of the figure in the opposite doorway. “Knock, knock.” He announced.

Chimera Mere inches from the golden dead Chimera flinched back when it moved. And with its slow movement something else. It exhaled and she could feel the symbiote mask clamp tighter over her nose and mouth. She caught a bare whisper of its smell still and she stepped back fully making a disgusted noise. Her companion seemed to fair worse as the young man lost his lunch on the floor. Chimera pointedly ignored it and kept her attention on the corpse, then realized the possibly. Her attention jumped to the crate beside this one, and the one beside that… This did not bode well…

First save: 25 whoot! Second save: 27 nice! actually rolled well for a change.

Paper Leon sat on the edge of the roof with his two ‘teammates’. Honestly they hadn’t felt like much of a team. Between school, work, and life in general they seemed less a team and more a collection of kids pretending to be one. Leon gave an exaggerated yawn and took a sip from a to-go coffee cup. He hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary… yet. Something felt ‘off’ though and that didn’t sit right with him. “I don’t know about you two, but imma gonna get a closer look.” Without letting go of the coffee cup Leon leaned forward and let himself fall off the roof ledge. Twisting as he fell, paper swarmed and a moment later he was slowly descending via hang from a paper umbrella like a famous nanny. Coffee still in hand. The umbrella closed and tucked under his arm, Leon started towards the destitute warehouse looking for any signs of activity.

Leon will also Skill Mastery it for a 20.

Paper Leon stared at the folded paper. It could honestly have been from any number of people. He knew who he wanted it to be from, but just looking at it he knew it wasn’t. He hadn’t heard from either his brother or sister in months. Not since they had fought. No punches had been thrown, but words can hurt worse. He hadn’t mentioned the fight to anyone other than Neko, not even Luke. His best friend could tell something was wrong but hadn’t pressed the subject. Leon appreciated it. He’d have to tell him eventually. With a sigh he picked it up and regarded it. Even without opening it he already knew what it said and who had sent it. The paper told him. Leon’s phone buzzed and he gave it a quick glance. Timing. Somehow Charlie was really good at that. He had to give the man credit for that. He opened the note anyways and looked it over with his own two eyes. Casanova? Now there was a name he hadn’t thought about in a while. Charlie had been all about messing with their fellow Claremont alumni, and Leo had been happy to go along with him. He didn’t care much for the boy’s attitude, which was saying something coming from him. At least Charlie had been, before he had up and vanished over a year and a half ago. If Leon had done that, he’d have wound up back in juice when they got their hands on him. Leon had tried to fill in some kind of leadership whenever any of them happened to been together and heroing needed doing. Not for lack of effort, but he just didn’t seemed to pull the respect of the others like Charlie did. That was fine, he didn’t want to actually be leader. He was just use to working with a team. Not that he was part of that team anymore. He thought darkly, then shook it off. He closed the note and stuffed it into a pocket. Pulling his phone out again he tapped out a reply to Bernadette’s group text. Leon tapped the coordinates into the map app on his phone and copied it into the chat with another text.

GM “Ramsey?” Detective Pascal’s voice preceded the man’s appearance as he came stumbling back into the clearing. His pistol swept the space quickly before settling on the unconscious woman. “Here!” Detective Ramsey called back, her own weapon aimed at the woman as well. She looked at her partner with something akin to concern as Diamondlight spoke. Detective Pascal’s brow furrowed. “Keep her covered.” Henrico ordered and Ramsey nodded hesitantly. Pascal approached the heroes standing over the unconscious attacker. He looked down at the woman with scrutiny. “It is her.” He said almost under his breath and the shaking of his hands was small visible, but his grip tightened and his aim didn’t waver. Anger began to creep into his expression.

Chimera She couldn’t smell the gold precisely like he could, but the smell of stale death and something metallic definitely hung in the air as the grate cracked open. Chimera managed to swallow back the bile, but she could still taste it in the back of her throat. She nodded at Nightscale’s assessment. “That does appear to be the look of it.” She said and stepped closer, tentatively. Carefully she reached out to touch one of the figures. “They look extremely old. Are these what Max was after?” Chimera asked herself out loud as she leaned in closer.

Leon chuckled as the couple walked behind Eric. “Ya, practice and coordination. But I’d say it was more of a job skill.” He grinned and gave Neko a little wink. As they approached the little restaurant Leon gave Neko’s hand a little squeeze. This would be the easy part. An older, nicely dressed couple had just exited the establishment and were walking the opposite direction. A middle aged man dressed like an office working looking down at his phone bumped into the older man, almost knocking him over. The middle aged man caught him, but quickly raised his voice. “Watch where you’re going grandpa.” The man promptly ‘huffed’ and started walking away again, towards the trio. To anyone else it would have looked like a simple rude interaction. But to the trio, they all saw through it. The middle aged man had just pickpocketed the older man.

@Nerdzul Ouch Have you tried not rolling like me?

Sorry for the delay. DL has Knowledge (current events) So say DC15 Luke and SD can try Intelligence checks Say DC15 as well. If successful: You can recognize her from old news coverage. She escaped custody about 2 years ago while being transported with a couple other artificially created monsters. At least two were left dead in the escape. Authorities hinted for her for several months, but she evaded capture. As interest died the hunt became less and less of a priority until it seemed be forgotten about. @Nerdzul If he succeeds he will recognize her as one of the creations of the masked Creepshow he encountered in the underground lab. If he doesn’t succeed, she just looks really familiar.
-
@Nerdzul Okay, SD showing some impressive restraint. Nightscale is up, don’t forget the saves. PS - You’re out of combat for now.

GM “Wha-“ Was all Detective Ramsey managed before Sea Devil was already moving. The Deep One’s howl of rage echoed through the trees and out into the park. Branches snapped as the watery hero propelled herself through them in a single powerful leap. The ground shook a little as armored rage landed behind the grappling pair. Sea Devil’s trident easily wrenched the woman’s head off Nightscale’s arm, leaving bleeding bite wounds in her wake. The sound of the woman’s indignant outrage was cut off by the crack of her head connecting with a solid helmet. The woman fell to the ground limply, but very much still breathing as the blood around her mouth slowly began to run down her cheek to drip on the dirt.
-
SD’s attack is brutal and effective leaving the woman pinned to the ground like a bug on display. There’s an ear-piercing shriek from her before she seems to fall still, gasping but unresponsive.
-
The first one hit since she’s grappled. Toughness: 11 Crit-fail on her part. @Avenger Assembled you can IC post Still need those saves from @Nerdzul

Predator Using the latest maps she had access to, Predator guided Echohead’s driving when necessary. Otherwise she was a quiet companion, which probably did little to help the sense of emptiness her companions felt. She would give short simple answers to any questions but did little to initiate conversation. It wasn’t intentional, she simply found herself preoccupied. Aside from a few satellite photos, she could not find any documentation on the scientific facility they were heading towards. Even with her A.I., Cynthia, helping her she was coming up empty handed and it was beginning to aggravate her. When the fence comes into view, Predator slips out of the car. Her smooth armored helmet sweeping one way, then the other, taking it in. The lock was simple but the junction boxes spaced along the fence in both directions were more than enough of a warning. “They obviously aren’t but so concerned with security.” Her voice carried more than expected in the quiet jungle. “The lock is more for show. The fence is electrified.” The two ear-like units on the sides of her helmet split along invisible seems and open, revealing smaller arrays of lenses and antennas. The units twitch and the smaller arrays swivel with faint whirls as they scan. Inside her suit, multiple screens open as she scans their surroundings. Infrared and ultraviolet data create colored overlays as audio enhancement programs attempt to amplify any distinguishable noises. Algorithms she’d been using for years attempting to pick out any useful information.

GM The weight of the woman’s will pressed down on everyone, only some more than others. Detective Pascal seemed to completely freeze up under the mental attack. Detective Ramsey shouted something in a sharp tone, but it was lost in the ruckus as Nightscale closed the distance and tackled the homeless woman. The two falling to the ground in the struggle. Suddenly, Sea Devil’s cry of rage cut through the ruckus and the ground seemed to open up and swallow her, dragging Diamondlight and Detective Pascal along with her. The trio found themselves unceremoniously dumped just outside the trees of the hidden path. Sea Devil’s portal dropping them at the edge of a small pond half hidden in the brush. It was just large enough to soak Diamondlight before the well dressed hero disappeared in a flash of light. For his part, Pascal dropped to a knee and gasped. “What was that?” He managed to mutter before struggling back to his feet and looking around. “Ramsey? Shit!” He cursed when he realized they had been separated. He looked back at Sea Devil. “Are you okay?” He asked the armored hero. ****** In the clearing, Diamondlight returns just in time to see Detective Ramsey hesitating. Her weapon pointed at the ground as she watches the two struggling. Suddenly the clearing is lit up like small sun for an instant. Detective Ramsey curses as she unsuccessfully tries to cover her eyes from it. The woman hisses as she looks away and shuts her eyes against the flash. ****** Beyond the trees Detective Pascal and Sea Devil are bombarded by slices of light cutting through the trees. Their intensity catching the officer and hero. Detective Pascal raises an arm against the flash but not fast enough. ****** Nightscale struggles with the woman on the ground, easily grappling her. Almost too easily. Blinding light fills the clearing and the woman hisses and flinches. Then, with a snarl she lunges in Nightscale’s grip and sinks long teeth deep into the boy’s bicep. Blood pouring across her lips, running down her chin and his arm as he can feel her trying to literally drink his blood.

@Supercape DL is up. The mental pressure of the attack so also gone for the trio as well.
-
@Avenger Assembled Okay, so looks like SD is taking Pascal and Diamondlight with her. If the range is only 100’ the lake is too far. But that would put them back out on the regular walking path they were following.
