Still reeling from the spear that had managed to pierce his armor, Nightscale buckled against the weave of bodies suddenly being hurdled against his now massive form. He shrugged away a couple of assailants, trying not too hurt any of the Worm victims and stay coiled as if to keep protecting the woman he loved from the assault. He smiled when Shift engulfed the villain with living metal. "Great..." Let's see if he likes that... "You talk too much..." He remarked as the Conqueror Worm kept monologuing, his claws lashing at the restrained villain, whose undead hide, unfortunately was too tough to rend.

17 Initiative for Nightscale
-
Nightscale is gonna shrug off the attack of the crowd thanks to impervious. Then he is gonna try to capitalize on Shift creating an opening to hit the Conqueror Worm with his claws. Rending Claws Touch + 7, DC 26 Tou, Damages + Drain Toughness (DC 19) Variable Descriptor, Affect Incorporeal 2, Improved Critical [Crit 19-20] Does a 21 hit? The Drain Toughness is not gonna work right? (due to the immunity to fortitude effects)

Luke winced as the wave of emotions washed upon him, painful memories of a time long gone. He sighed out of relief as the gold calmed, instead of trying to engulf him, still he was gonna have to keep his concentration at least until they were safely out of the ship, but it was one less problem. Gently he tried to gather the now seemingly peaceful mass of gold and searched for an empty crate where it could be stored. The plan was bring it outside of the vessel it hated so much and later contain it God knew where... but that was a problem for another time. He nodded approvingly and gave Chimera a thumb up when her makeshift plug seemed to hold. Although his relief was short lived as an explosion echoed from outside. "Really..." He lamented "Come on..." "Whatever..." Time to grab the gold and go outside.
-
"Amen to that ...." "Nice to meet you all guys... and gals..." He saluted the rest of the band with a smile and an enthusiastic handshake, when appropriate. "Yeah... Bet is, school is much quieter without us two around." He grinned at Summer. He winced when Leon suggested that they 'recruited' Bernadette for a Disney channel show or something. "Yeah... a terrible fate though." He chuckled. "But what can you do..."
-
Luke winced and gave Alice a worried look before turning toward her brother. "Everything alright?" "Hey what's up man?" Luke saluted the newcomer, although he could sense the tension in the air. "Is there anythin' better to do than looking for troubles?" The young man teased. "Eh... could be stronger..." He grinned pointing at their supply of drinks. In truth, if he had been a normal human he would have much likely been drunk by now. He wasn't though and while a bit tipsy by now, it was gonna take way more than that to make him properly drunk. "Luke..." He introduced himself and shook the newcomer hand. "And no... I don't think so... Nice to meet you man..."

27 or a natural 18
-
"Me neither..." Luke nodded at August, there was certainly something that eluded them right now. "Yeah this sucks..." Luke had a worried look in his eyes when he realized that the trail had made an u-turn, they had left the detectives alone after all didn't they? What if the monster had gone for them? He increased his pace significantly as he followed the scent toward the clearing where they had confronted the first escaped bioweapon. Perhaps one of the creature had gone to help the other, or maybe it had concealed itself as one of the officers or something, neither scenario was exactly a good one... As Aquaria jumped, the young man followed, dashing as fast as he could along the trail.

Nightscale has 20 Skill mastery on Notice. He is gonna try and use his emotion control power to calm the gold... So... Yeah... Emotion Control 9 (Feats: Mind Blank, Subtle) {20PP/24PP}
-
"So we have angry gold now..." Luke ruffled the hair on the back of his neck again. Things were precipitating fast, the ship was sinking and the mobsters outside were at war. "Great..." He muttered as he heard the gunfire outside. "I can try to... calm it... perhaps?" He winced, he had in fact learned a spell that affected emotions in the past, but in truth he didn't really know if it was gonna work on some gold... Then again if it could feel anger... "Can you try and patch the hull up somehow?" He asked as he closed the distance between himself and the swirling mass of cursed metal. "If this doesn't work I'm gonna try and drag this thing away..." He added, although he was still far from certain about how to do so. His eyes glowed faintly of golden light as he tried to focus his magic on a sense of calm to infuse into the spellbound metal. "Easy now..." He said, as if he was trying to calm an angry beast.
-
13 Reflexes including the +5...34 on toughness though
-
Nightscale will wait for Chimera to reply before I post IC I think. That said he might try to grab the gold and see if he can move it away from the floor of the ship (although catching a fluid might not be super easy hehe).

The trio chatted amiably on the way home, with Ivy flirting playfully with one first and than the other, seemingly content in just teasing the two and sharing very little of herself. Apparently she had just broken up with a boyfriend for which she had no kind words and that, as far as she was concerned was too jealous and clingy, but otherwise, they didn't have much else on her, although to Leon's expert eye it seemed like she has been glancing to rear-view mirror from time to time, giving it a worried look, like if she was worried of seeing someone appearing down the empty road. They had been riding for a while when Natalia's Nacho Nirvana appeared down the road, a family-friendly Mexican joint that despite being a roadside attraction and truck stop was much better kept compared to the dingy bar that the two had visited not long before. At that time of the day there was no other visitor, as the lack of parked vehicles outside revealed, but nonetheless, the staff was friendly and welcoming and their order quickly arrived. They have been talking about sweet nothing, when the two suddenly started to feel drowsy... OOC - Did she succeed in putting the two to sleep or did Leon notice something maybe? Or perhaps he had, but Ivy still had managed to outsmart him? Feel free to expand on the scene\maybe describe the conversation as much as you like

Luke was still contemplating what to do, clearly at a loss. "Maybe we can-" What if? Maybe he could use his dragonfire on the animated gold? It was in liquid form already though so yeah turning it incandescent wasn't gonna improve the situation much, worse so if the whole vessel caught fire. "We must gather it somehow..." He wondered if he could at least hold it in his claws. He didn't have much time to ponder as Chimera approached that thing and her strange metallic flesh seemingly consumed some of the gold. The flash of relief in his eyes when it seemed like it was working (and she wasn't being turned into gold herself or something) didn't last much however. Luke dashed to help her back on her feet, keeping an eye on the gold. "You alright? What the hell happened?" He asked as he took a few more steps toward the swirling mass.

Luke smiled softly as Murine began to talk, quietly following the rhythm of the music and letting her lean against his chest if she wanted to. "A thousand years... and I thought I was the eldest..." He teased playfully. "A good teacher, your old man..." "F- I am sorry... I mean, I can barely imagine you felt." Indeed, separated from all her loved ones, with them much likely been dead and gone for centuries, himself, he certainly would not have taken it kindly. He tightened his embrace. "I owe one to those researchers though, I mean, for waking you up." "But you didn't... We didn't..." "Hey... It's ok." He smiled again. "I mean, for anything you want share, I'll be here, but I won't blame for any you might want to keep..." He shook his head. "Life of a super-hero ain't easy, you know?" "Doubly for one that is dating a dragon." He grinned, closing what little distance there was between them so that their lips could meet if she wanted to.
-
Thanks Nightscale will use the moment of respite to shape-change (assuming there is enough space, otherwise I'll edit the move). I am not sure if he has to spend an HP to clear the daze or not, in case he has, he will do so.

Luke's eyes pleaded for Muirne to stop one last time, but alas it was for naught. He could see the suffering in the gaze of the woman he loved and, truth to be told, the young man hated Cas even more for what he had done. And yet... He could not allow her to regret this for all her life. At first he grasped to stop the offensive of the shadow spear, but Muirne was fast, too fast and slippery like a shadow, in the end there was little else he could do than shield the villain with his flesh. He grunted as the weapon forged in otherwordly darkness pierced through his skin, cutting through dragonscale like it was nothing. The violence of the impact stopped any momentum he might have had as the weapon embedded itself into his flank awing blood. He gritted his teeth and braced for the next strike, but none came, in fact, Muirne knelt on the ground. "Hey..." Luke muttered between breaths... "It's ok... I am ok..." He forced a smile. "Just... Don't-" He leaned closer, holding the wounded flank with his right arm. The ground seemed to shake under his feet. "What the f-" Green flames surrounded him as his blood hit the ground. A summoning of some kind. Adrenaline still pumping the young man stared at the newcomer. A villain of ages past and an undead one too boot. "Freakin' zombies..." He took a deep breath and clenched his fists. Closing his eyes, Luke called for his supernatural soul to come to the surface, obsidian scales melted on his flesh as he assumed his reptilian form, the monster, once fully formed, coiled around Muirne, as if to protect her with his frame.

24 on arcane lore... for Nightscale
-
17 Tou, ofc Luke's luck didn't last for long, while I wouldn't mind him getting roughed up a bit for Drama losing by 8 is a bit too much. HP: 28
-
If he can he will try to hit 15... hero point it at 20 (the minimum he could roll with an hero point ofc...) if that hits his grapple check is going to be 35. If that is relevant somehow Luke claws have affect incorporeal.
-
"Great..." Luke remarked drily, ruffling the hair on the back of his neck, as the blob simply ignored him and went back to crushing the ship. Now more efficiently than before. Good job Luke... "I can just make gold, not the other way around..." Which somehow had never struck him as particularly useful anyway, but then again, life always founds a way right? "We need to contain this...." Yep assuming there was something that could. He scanned the hull of the vessel for anything big enough for the mass of gold to fit in and possibly sufficiently tough as well.
-
Luke sighed as he noticed that Bernadette's mood had darkened ever so slightly at the mention of Charlie, he could definitely sympathize, with Muirne having been gone for a while by now. "You are gonna miss that..." Luke teased, at the mention of school, after all he did have work in the morning now, although at his age, that didn't really mean much, especially these days that sleep didn't come easy to him anyway. "This place has a cool vibe, but... we already got the best part of the show..." He grinned. "Whatever you prefer..." "Let's. Go. Party!" He shouted enthusiastically a moment later, circling both Leon and Bernadette with his arms.
-
"You do?" Luke gave his friend a puzzled (and vaguely worried) look. "A hustle, or a Hustle with the capital H?" He teased playfully, giving his friend a nudge before he had time to clarify that it was 'totally on the up and up'. They have been going for a while, when Luke noticed a slight commotion. There was a man in the crowd, clearly looking for someone, he was unfamiliar to him and yet, he wondered if he was after them. "Yeah... do you people know the guy?" He asked, unlike Owain, he avoided pointing at the man and instead he simply shifted his gaze toward him as discretely as he could.
-
"Awesome." The young man smiled enthusiastically and offered Muirne his hand as they waltzed toward the dance floor. Obviously, despite having practiced, he was no match for the skill of his partner, but he still did his best to keep the pace. "F- I think I won't ever get tired watching you dance..." He grinned. "I am gonna have to follow your lead, though." He continued cheerfully. Seemingly at Velocity's request, the music slowed down not long after, Luke thanked their host quietly as he gently offered to hold Muirne in his arms. "Of course... " He nodded. The young man chuckled at the mention of Charlie and shook his head playfully. Although, the mention of the secret being known by researchers and officials in Englad had definitely sent a cold shiver running down his spine. This couldn't be anything good. Doesn't matter though. Whatever that was, he knew that they could manage. "I promise." He smiled softly. "A dragon knows how to keep a secret, you know? I'll hoard it right here..." He pointed at his heart, then leaned closer, so that, as they danced, she could whisper in his ears. His eyes shone briefly of gold as he used his magic to muffle the sound around them.
-
"It's ok, you are safe now." Luke smiled softly as he held Muirne tight in his arms. For the young man the rest of the world had disappeared, there was just his girl and she needed him there. The young man could sense her tensing up against him. He clenched his fists, anger raising at the thought of the woman he loved being so hurt, her tears filling him with rage. In truth, he was tempted to join her in her cry for revenge, but he could not allow himself to. Not for shield, obviously the guy deserved all the punishment he got coming his way, but for her... "Hey..." He spoke softly. "He can't harm anyone anymore you... " He tensed his muscles, he hated the idea of having to fight against the woman he loved... He would not, in fact and yet, at the same time, he knew that if she made true of her words and killed Shield, she would never forgive herself and he could not allow that. "I know you are there... You can control this.... Just.... please... don't do this... I can't let you..."
