Nightscale just 2 https://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/14159-dance-beneath-the-stars-ic/?do=findComment&comment=319043

Nightscale eyes widened as he witnessed the transformation happening. "Great..." He muttered, honestly grateful that he wasn't forced to face those things on his own, but instead had more experienced heroes with him. "Got any idea about how to deal with that guys..." He gulped visibly as he felt the vampire squirm in his grasp. "No.... Nop... You at least stay put on?" He continued already imagining that the creature was about to transform as well, fortunately though it wasn't and in fact, a well placed hit was enough to stun it, at least for now.

Well Nightscale is gonna use the occasion to punch the "vampire" trying to at least take one of them down, I think it is an auto hit due to the grapple, although Luke save DC is just 24 since he is still PL 9 (eventually I'll manage to upgrade him hehe)

"Yep... smells like a trap..." Luke muttered. "Literally... there is like some tech stuff around here..." He added, perhaps a frontal assault wasn't the smartest idea and yet he had no trick at his disposal to check what was inside without going and taking things head on. "Do you see a side entrance or something man?" He mused giving his flat-mate a nod as he scanned the area for any sign of a way that would allow them to get inside without being seen. Not like he wouldn't get in if he couldn't find one of course, he didn't follow the strange message just to go back home after all. ooc - Luke will just skill mastery his 20 at perception to check if there is a side entrance and in general if he can spot anything unusual, otherwise he will go inside.

Nightscale gritted his fangs as another round of psychic onslaught washed against his scales, cracking more than a few and forcing him to expel all the air in his lungs. 'This is gonna suck tomorrow...' He thought, yep he would certainly have quite a collection of bruises and hopefully nothing was too broken. "Is that all you got?" The black dragon forced a smirk as a show of confidence. Despite the evidence suggesting that the two supervillain's attacks had been far from harmless he was still standing and in fact, Mindifre hadn't escaped his claws, she was still struggling, but hopefully not for long. Now the temptation to repay fire with fire was a strong one, but unleashing his dragon breath in a city street was perhaps not the wisest, so he had to rely on the less refined method of slamming the captured telepath on the ground, not exactly chivalrous perhaps, but then again, he wasn't the one tossing psychic fire around wasn't him? "Stay put now...ok?" He his paw (but not completely just in case) to see if the villainesse underneath was still in fighting shape before turning his attention to the chaos that was still unfolding.

Great. He is gonna go for it then

In dragon form his tail should grants him Improved Grapple (Extra limb) right? If that doesn't work yeah he is just gonna squeeze

If I remember well, Luke can't coup de grace someone he is grappling right? If that's correct, and he can't he is gonna try and take down Mindfire (hopefully) with his Rending Claws, should be an auto hit Mindfire is grappled by him so the DC 26 Tou, Damages + Drain Toughness (DC 19).

25 that fails by one, that bruises are stacking up... 32 Fails the grapple check with a 4 ofc... Rerolling with the hero point 33 but with the +10 for the hero point for rolling a 5 it gets to 43 and so is a success

23 For Nitghtscale, I guess it's another bruise for him, ouch

Still reeling from the mental onslaught Nightscale struggled to regain his footing, he shook his head as if he could physically shrug off the influence of Mindfire attack. "Why does it always have to be psychics..." He half whispered, half growled as he narrowed his eyes searching the chaos of the battlefield for the villain that had just tried to invade his and Muirne's minds. First Sebastian and then this.... "There..." He grinned as he finally found his quarry, closing the distance between them he caught the fiery telepath in his claws. "You are not going anywhere now..."

Mmm... after talking with Thev since there is no good target, Luke is gonna instead spend an hero point to action surge and just go and use his rending claw on Mindfire with a 22 to hit. Rending Claws Touch + 7, DC 26 Tou, Damages + Drain Toughness (DC 19) Variable Descriptor, Affect Incorporeal 2, Improved Critical [Crit 19-20] If that works he will also try to use improved grab to grapple with 35

Well Nightscale is gonna try to turn into gold as many villains or duplicates as he can catch within his dragon breath (without hitting his friends) With this: Goldfire Transform 9 (Anything into one result [Anything into Gold]. Extra: General Area [Type: General; Shape: Cone; Size: 180 ft with area 1] Feats: Progression 1 [Area], Flaws: Distracting, Range[Touch] Drawbacks: Full Power) {36PP/36} Save DC is 19 Reflexes to half DC 19/15 Fort not to be transformed into gold (with +1 each rd to go back to normal) Stuff in the area is also turned into gold,, but the effect is temporary he won't mind too much since things will turn back to normal eventually, but he won't include anyone innocent or a friend in the area of effect. He will use his move action to stand up as well.

Nightscale Just 1...: Foes from the fens 1

Luke had just returned from work when he received the strange invitation, he checked his phone with a puzzled look, wondering who might have sent them this invitation to an abandoned warehouse. "Smells like a trap." He mused, then again he only had one way to find out, plus, to be honest, he didn't knew many supervillains who knew his private number so... "What to do you think man?" He lazily turned toward Leon. "Definitely gonna want to scout the place before dashing in..." He continued as he got ready to head out. Unlike his friend Luke didn't really need a mask to conceal his identity, instead, he removed his shirt (he had destroyed too many already) kicked away his sneakers and willed his true nature to resurface, shifting into an hybrid shape of his human and dragon form, clad in black scales and with his claws claws unsheathed. It was a trick he had just recently picked out admittedly, but a handy one at that, no need to carry his Claremont-issued costume anymore... "Whatever... Let's go..." He smirked as he dashed into the night. OOC - Sorry this took me a while, hopefully I'll be able to catch up with posting a bit in the upcoming weeks.
