OK...those with Herid and I, seems like an encounter is inevitable. As such, I am asking if the rest of you would roll initiative at the suggestion of Heridfel... http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1476487/ OK, that sucked...not sure what went wrong, damn...twice I get the same answer....what am I doing wrong. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1476494/ That worked....6 :(

"Well...it's like this. On a partly cloudy day....you can see where the shadows of clouds sort of are on the ground...sort of. It is like that. I can kind of see where it is...I think," Tony whispers. He makes sure when he grabs James arm, he avoids the scraped hands. Guding James out of the Darkness, Tony lets go of him as they pass the terminus. Looking back, Tony sees his mass of Darkness and all of the confused people within it...he can clearly see Joey making his way through it with better grace than anyone else. His new ability being very helpful in this case instead of debilitating. Even as they once again walked in daylight, it was still not safe to be here. They had just cleared the Darkness when Megastar was seen flying above their heads....with a giant robotic fist smashed into him and providing the momentum as it hurled him into a nearby building. Ducking his head, Tony turns to James, "This is going to be dangerous...I might be able to hide us....BUT that doesn't prevent a ton of rocks from falling on us...SO, keep a heads up for debris"

When Joey starts to give Tony directions on how to move through the darkness, he almost snorts out loud. Stifling a sarcastic retort, Tony stage whispers to Joey, " Relax...I can see in my Darkness..."It was at this point, Tony realizes that it was James he was talking to. "OH....my bad." Sometimes, Tony got too self absorbed to realize he wasn't the center of the universe. Reahing out, Tony grabs James' flailing hand as he tries to find it in the Darkness. "This way..." turning his head slightly back to Joey, "After your comment at the resturant, I was hoping you could navigate through my Darkness. I'm glad my hunch paid off... Passing by the cop, Tony fights the impulse to try and lift the cop's gun...it would be far better than the butterfly knife he had given Joey. But, that would deprive the man of his weapon and, more importantly, would take Tony down a much darker career path. "OK...not sure how this Darkness works. Hopefully, it is limited in size. I truly do not want to be holding James' hand all the way there," Tony jokes, "Your just not my type James...besides, my wife would get jealous."

Go ahead and jump in...I set up a cascading failure, just like your power somewhat describes...

Tony hangs back a few feet with Joey as James approches the temporary manned barrier. Watching James try and get his way past the Patrolman. Unfortunately, James' bravado is wasted on the bored cop. Clearly the officer wasn't going to let them through, he was used to people trying to bluff there way past these barriers. When James mouthed the words Do it...with a suppressed grin, Tony reaches deep within himself....reaches for the new found Darkness that now dwells within him. Instead of holding back, Tony throws open the door...unleashing the hungering Darkness, letting it out to feed upon the light. Within seconds, the surrounding area is shrouded in an abyssal darkness. While the Darkness descends upon the barrier, something else transpires within it's center. Tony's form takes on a sleeker, predatory shape, glowing green eyes shining brightly. However, such change goes unnoticed by the others as they are now blinded by the cloud of Darkness... Awwww....Shit. Command, this is Patrol 17. I need some assistance over here...This area is pitch black...can't see a damned thing... Even as the cop complains on his walkie-talkie, Tony starts stalking forward, aiming for the now blind James. Before he takes more than three steps, Tony remembers Joey. Turning back, Tony watches to see if the newcomer's ability to "feel" his way around would also need his help navigating Tony's new pet Darkness.

Even as he pulls the darkness in, there is a slight blurring of his form...a change that is at first subtle. Turning to Joey's comment, Tony speaks up, "OH...yeah. Just a second..." Reaching in his front pocket, Tony pulls out what looks like a slender metallic rod. With an expert flick of the wrist and a fancy flourish of spinning, the rod doubles in length, revealing a sharp and nasty tanto blade with skeletal handles locked beneath it. Flipping it back around, Tony holds out the handles to Joey, "Here...the best I can do for now. Please...don't loose it. It's my favorite knife and I have had it for twenty-five years."

Tony pauses for a few moments, waiting on Joey to catch up. Subcociously, he was clenching and unclenching his hands. And just as unnoticed by him was that the ebony tendrils were once again curling about his hands...like angry serpents looking for something to strike. Other areas about his body began to pool darkness, sleeking his slightly bulky form. The shadows within his hood deepend so much that his face became slightly obscured...and his eyes took on that neon lime glow. As Joey gets out of his car and starts towards the pair, Tony shouts over the now loud sounds of Super-Powered combat, "James here got another report of another traveller...someone else has just arrived. He or She is somewhere near here....and they might need help...our help. Any objections to helping find them? Even as he asks their new companion his opinion, Tony can't help but glance back and up towards the battle. He was just in time to see Megastar do a flying slam into a titanic forty foot tall robot(who knew that FORTY feet of Mechanized Terror would look so...so terrifying). The resulting shockwave from the impact played over the now trio as they stood there. Again, Tony's new power flared up, surrounding him in a small, tight five foot sphere of darkness. Gritting his teeth, the elder of the trio once again suppressed his darkness, pulling it back in like a puppy on a leash. Unheard by the other two, Tony can almost hear the darkness whispering to be let loose...to be free....to consume. Man...I NEED to get to ASTRO Labs soon...this is scarier that the robot....much scarier.

Thanks guys...as for weak, not really when you compare the implications behind it. The darkness controller never needs to spend a move action to keep it centered upon himself...and when combined with feats like Move-by Action and Takedown Attack, it really shines. Other feats like Redirect and Interpose gain from it too, thematically if not mechanically.
