Elfy

Called on her bluff, Stinger’s options seem limited: flee or fight. A little smirk appears on her face. The agile teen hops up onto the roof of the sedan, gaining high ground as she does, and spins around once. Half way though her spin, a purple energy whip suddenly forms in her hand. She whirls it and lashes out at the chest of the boy who wouldn’t stay out of her business. The air crackles as the whip strikes at the do-gooder-in-training.

so it's like sparkling, or something. okie.

stinger Friend or Foe - Temporary Alliance? Bad Habit Late Night Soar

i don't notice anything in the description indicating whether breakdown has turned on his force field or not.

The attractive, plain-clothes girl slips over to the side, saying, "Hey! Hands off, Creep!" Still beside the car, but no longer directly between him and it, Stinger bluffs, "It’s my car, jerk! I lost my keys! Now shove off before I call the cops!†She reaches into the front pocket of her jeans as if reaching for a cellphone.

Stinger considers her options for a silent moment. She could try to run away or fight...or she could let him buy her food and give her money for her illegitimate gains. Tough choice. "So," she says, "You’re going to buy me food...and buy the stuff in my bag?" She raises an eyebrow. She shifts her hips to one side and rests her hands on them as she looks at him. "I doubt you have the money. You're just blowing smoke." She folds her arms across her chest. "You’re just trying to set me up or something."

August 26th, Mongrel Angel spots Stinger in the progress of breaking and entering a house in a Late Night Soar.

In an above average income neighborhood, a house stands tall with a white picket fence surrounding its well-kept yard. The lights are out in the house. It seems the owners are out this evening. Off past some bushes that are adjacent to the side of the house, a slim teenager stands up against a window doing something. After a couple of minutes of work, the attractive girl slides open the window. Just as a silver-winged superheroine happens to be flying over, the girl in a belly-shirt starts to crawl through it. Her legs stick out the window and her butt wiggles as she pulls herself inside. It clearly looks suspicious.

a stinger and mongrel angel thread =)

Stinger tries to pop the lock on the car door quickly, but she discovers she’ll need more time to get it open than she first hoped. After the interloper announces himself, the plain-clothed teenager looks back over her shoulder and across the street at him. It’s only a brief look to access the situation. The attractive, blue-eyed girl silently turns her attention back to picking the lock, ignoring the boy for the moment. She’ll have it in a couple of minutes if he minds his own business like most of the populace does. If he persists, she’ll deal with him then.

stinger's initiative (1d20+2=16) =)

i was going with the presumption of him automatically noticing, since the scenario depends on him becoming aware of the activity, but, okie, we can roll notice vs. sleight of hand then. welp, stinger rolled a fumble (1d20+3=4) - so that answers that. it should be quiet clear to breakdown what the figure is attempting to do. stinger's disable device check to pick the lock on the car door quickly isn't good enough (1d20+5=12) since the books says an average lock is dc 25, but stinger should get it in a couple of minutes (take 20) if she's allowed to work uninterrupted.

just to clairify, stinger is in street clothes since she's not yet been approached by the headmistress of the shadow academy ; )

imho, a +6 notice should be good enough to spot the shifty activity--especially since he's specifically looking for anything suspicious going on around him. so, that's what i recommend =) how about the night of the 23rd--a quiet sunday night seems the perfect opportunity to go pilfering about =)

Not far away, underneath a burnt out light pole, sits a parked car. The sedan, while not a high-end vehicle, looks to be a new model and appears to be in good shape from what little ambient light does reach it. A slim figure, cloaked in the shadows of the night, stands beside the car doing something to the door. Perhaps the figure is unlocking it, although the motion of the silhouette seems wrong. Upon closer observation, the figure might be trying to force its way past the lock instead of using a key.

As the fire-projecting boy blasts the remaining demon-creatures, the slim girl hops down from the fire escape and lands near her spilt bag. She looks over her shoulder just long enough to see the fading smoke rising up from where the monsters stood before she turns her attention to collecting her stolen goods. The quickly scoops her jewelry back into her small bag and stands up with it. As she tucks away the black bag she looks at the boy and replies, "What clued you in, Firebug?"

stinger notice check (1d20+5=20)

stinger rolled a critical on her blast attack. also, her attack has both autofire and penetrating.

After suddenly being deprived of her bag of loot and knocked aside unexpectedly, it takes the girl with short, black hair a moment to regain her bearings. She spares the figures only a brief glance before her eyes seek out her spoils of the night. Just as she spots her small bag, a fiery flash of light and heat draw her eyes back to the commotion. The scent of sulfur catches her nose as she notices the teenage boy standing alone. There’s little time to react as several more of the short, demonic-appearing creatures rush into the alley. Although one of the red creatures swiftly attacks her, its slashing claws fortunately just catches her shirt and not the soft flesh underneath it. Recovering her senses, Stinger shouts, "Back off, you little Freako!" and leaps some fifteen feet up onto a fire escape. She points both hands down at the odd creature that attacked her and a barrage of purple energy pulses dart through the air at it.

stinger's initiative (1d20+2=8)

Stinger hops into the dark alleyway, gracefully coming down in a crouch. She brushes her hand back through her hair, pushing its thick locks back out of her attractive face. Her highlight glints purple and blue in the moonlight as she slumps over to open the small cloth bag of ill-gotten gains. A silver necklace with a small silver cross, a few rings, and a silver bracelet make up the meager treasure she managed to liberate. It’s not a lot, but it should give her enough money get by for a while. So caught up in looking over the spoils of her burglary is she that she fails to notice anything out of the ordinary in the alley.

13-19, inclusive, maybe?

now there're two students (chimérique and stinger) - yay! =) we could use a strong person and a psion/mage-type person (and maybe a flier) to help round out the group =)

heh heh - i'm sure stinger would not be pleased with that sort of teacher-student ratio =p where are all the other mischief-makers hiding? we know you're out there }=)

Stinger is a teenage runaway whose mutant powers recently manifested while she was fleeing the police after unsuccessfully attempting to steal a car. The delinquent’s most prominent powers are to project rapid-fire pulse bolts of destructive purple energy from her hands and to form energy whips (or other melee weapons) in her hands. The Headmistress of the Shadow Academy has her eyes on her.
