Talona swooped around for another go at the couple down on the ground. Again her claws raked across the brown skinned one's back ripping through the cloth and drawing bloody lines across smooth skin. As before she flew on and up, out of reach of from any vengeful hands. "Urgh, it looks a lot worse than it is." Alex reassures Moira as she tries to stand up, at least she manages to get out of the goddess' way by half rolling to the side. "I'll be up in a moment, no worries."

Mongrel Angel, as a speckled tabby (you know the ones with what seems like a patchwork fur). Purr

Talona officially enters her Rage, and goes for another fly-by on Alex. Round 1: Attack roll vs Prone MA, Crit on 19-20 (1d20+11=26) [i forgot to add that she Power Attacks for 3 given that MA's prone, flatfooted, and stunned.] Round 1: Toughness Save vs DC 29 (1d20+14=20) Fails by 9, so Stunned (again) and another level of bruise I'm having MA spend the round stunned I think. The better for Moira to show off a little to start with. IC will be up later today, I need to get a move on since I'm GMing this evening.

Well, technically Talona gets the next move. But if you want to you can go ahead and make a reactionary post while I get some sleep. Just don't spend your standard/move actions.

"Oh, now I have to choose." Alex pouted, but in her eyes could be seen a playful gleam as she caressed Moira's body. "Well, maybe if start wi-iaAARGH!" Her decision making is suddenly interrupted as a sharp pain shots through her back. Unseen by the preoccupied ladies a winged woman with prominent claws had glided into the clearing, swiped at the brown-skinned back of the one on top and was now turning around for another go.

(20:53:56) Nyrath: A character concept Libra came up with (based on a dream of his). I'm working on my own version of it since it sound really cool, at the time. If I recall correctly he described his impression as "Kinda a mix between Batman, Nightcrawler and a Samurai". She never spoke in his dream, and I came up with power as a way to have her be functional and mute. She's a bit tight in places, and could certainly benefit from a couple of more pp. Priority should be given to bumping her exotic saves a tad, a few feats such as Hide in Plain Sight, Uncanny Dodge, Power Attack and Takedown Attack, and of course boosting her skills a bit more. Costs: Abilities (30) + Combat (16) + Saves (05) + Skills (15) + Feats (11) + Powers (14) - Drawbacks (01) = 90pp Stats: 6+8+6+4+4+2 = 30pp Str: 16 (+3) Dex: 18 (+4) Con: 16 (+3) Int: 14 (+2) Wis: 14 (+2) Cha: 12 (+1) Combat: 8+8 = 16pp Attack: +4 / +6 [melee] / +8 [unarmed] Grapple: +9 Defense: +6 (+2 flat-footed) Knockback: -3 Initiative: +4 Saves: 1+1+3 = 5pp Toughness: +6 (+3 Con, +3 Suit) Fortitude: +4 (+3 Con, +1) Reflex: +5 (+4 Dex, +1) Will: +5 (+2 Wis, +3) Skills: 60r = 15pp Acrobatics 11 (+15) [skill Mastery] Bluff 4 (+5) Gather Information 4 (+5) Intimidate 8 (+9) [skill Mastery] Investigate 4 (+5) Knowledge [streetwise] 4 (+5) Language 2 [American Sign Language, English, Japanese] Notice 4 (+5) [skill Mastery] Search 4 (+5) Sense Motive 4 (+5) Stealth 11 (+15) [skill Mastery] Feats: 10pp Acrobatic Bluff Attack Focus [Melee] 2 Attack Specialization [unarmed] Dodge Focus 2 Equipment 4 Skill Mastery [Acrobatics, Intimidate, Notice, Stealth] Powers: 6+8 = 14pp Communication 2 [100ft] [Mental; Extras: Insidious; Power Feats: Rapid, Subtle] [6pp] Teleport 3 [Flaws: Short-Range; Power Feats: Chance Direction, Change Velocity, Progression 2 [500lbs.], Turnabout] [8pp] Drawbacks: 1 = 1pp Mute (Can't speak; rare, minor; -1pp) DC Block: Unarmed --- 18/Toughness --- Bruised, Staged Brass Knuckles --- 19/Toughness --- Bruised, Staged Flash-Bangs --- 13/Reflex, Fortitude --- Dazzle, Staged

MA Initiative (1d20+1=20) Talona Initiative (1d20+11=24)

Stealth check (1d20+14=34) We can't beat that given our degree of, preoccupation. Surprise round; Attack vs MA (1d20+11=31) Why does the frickin dice roller burn all the 20s now? Surprise round: Toughness vs DC 29 (1d20+15=22) She finishes by flying onwards a bit and beginning to circle back for another go. Getting IC up later this evening. Roll Initiative.

"Well," begins Alex returning Moira's smile before pushing off the ground using her, currently, superior strength and twisting so as to put the goddess in a proper hold with the taller woman on top. " not often enough in my opinion."

Mongrel Angel and Wesley Knight run into each other, and investigate the local 'pack of thugs'.

Alex had hit upon a simple, effective, and fairly enoyable mode of patrolling. She took a couple of minutes to alter her appereance, and basically just hit the streets in whatever area she figured needed to have its criminal element rattled a bit. Tonight it was Lincoln's turn, the winged heroine knew of the gang problems in the area and she figured it was worth looking into. If nothing happened, great. If something did, well, she was better equipped the handle it than most women on the streets. Which was why she was now walking the streets, late at night, putting on a rather convincing show of being lost and somewhat scared young white woman. And after a while she did attract what she'd been looking for; a group of 'thugs' who quickly descended into the by now familiar banter. She keeps up the pretence, backing up against a wall to keep away from them, seemingly trying to spot any kind of gap to make a break through. Just a little closer.

With Breakdown, and possibly that other flier, handling the fire for now Alex figures she can focus on taking out the over-caffeinated wingless mayfly on a sugar rush. So she simply prepares to blast away at the little bugger should she catch sight of him. Not much else she could do in this situation really.

Readying an action to Blast Dash should he show his ugly mug. Round 4: Ready Action All-out Attack 5 Blast vs. Dash, DC 28 if hit (1d20+14=23) Might, nor might not hit. Guess I'll know when (if) he does appear.

"True enough for the greater part. Can't say I recommend that attitude when it comes to sampling my aunt Rachel's cooking." Alex replied. You never know what of it is poisonous to someone with your own particular physiology. she added to herself. The brown-skinned woman gives Moira a moment to recover before dancing in and launching a kick against her side, if she hadn't held back that would have been a potentially serious injury even to someone like Divine. Though with leg stretched out like that, and her being slightly unbalanced as a result, the winged heroine seems to have left herself a tad open. Now let's see if she can use this.

TvTropes which apply to Maenheld (more to be added as they're found, and I have the time and inclination) Trope count at: 24 Ambiguously Brown Anything That Moves - Not an extreme version, but it fits. Bare Your Midriff - Not uncommon Cat Girl - She's assumed this form on a few occasions (off-screen) Charm Person - Can do this, but rarely does Chivalrous Pervert - Fits well enough Clothing Damage - She takes a fair bit of this given that she hasn't got anything to wear that's remotely as durable as she is. Divine Parentage Energy Blasts Even The Girls Want Her - Kinda what her Supernatural Attractive power does Flight ... Flying Brick - An unconventional one, but it's kinda a baseline for her Good Bad Girl - Oh yes Hammerspace - She's got this, often having it appear as either Trouser Space or Victoria's Secret Compartment Healing Hands Horny Devils - To be found in her family tree Immortality Power Perversion Potential - ... Really Gets Around - Has yet to really appear 'on screen', but this is true of her Super Strength - Not all that strong compared to most paragons, but she can rip steel with her bare hands like it's cardboard Teleportation Voluntary Shapeshifting - Minor

"Mongrel Angel is what I've been going by." said the dark-skinned angel returning the wave. "A chemical agent would leave something behind wouldn't it? A mental effect whether psychic or magical or whatever in nature wouldn't, most of the time. So we test what we can test and work from there right?" The winged lady thinks for a moment, trying to recall what she knows about Luna Moth. "Didn't Luna Moth use chemicals or pheromones herself back when she was an active villain?"

Taking ten on Gather Information (with Well Informed), for a total of 20. The chart for her stops at 15 though, so I figure even with the time difference I'll nab that bit of info.

"Well, I guess it's good I stayed on the outside." Came a voice from the other side of the cell's tiny window. Mongrel Angel had figured she might as well check out what was causing the police to be so jumpy, not that they'd be able to detain her in any case. "No visible damage to outside structure. If you want my opinion whoever did this either got in and out the usual way, possibly invisible, or teleported in and out."

When 'Matchstick' set fire to the warehouses Alex was torn. She could try and find a way to combat the fires, but it's not like she had much in the way of powers for that, and then the perps would likely get away. Or she could try and stop them, but then the fire could cause a lot of damage and threaten not just property but people. Maybe she could try for the water towers? Or should she- Her train of thought was interrupted first by Breakdown literally bringing the rain, then by Burns attack on Jack. The first told her that at least one of them could deal with the fire somewhat, the second simply made her angry and snapped her mind into place. The decision had been made. The winged heroine again draws up her power for another strike against her fiery opponent. Again she strikes true, and this time 'Matchstick' is visibly knocked-about mid-air. Not about to give the pyro a chance to recover and cause more devastation she goes all-out and goes into a swooping charge, flaming aura be damned. The flames surrounding the pyro's body stung, but the brief moment she interacted with them kept it from actually being damaging to her. Unfortunately for 'Matchstick' that brief moment was her driving all of her body-weight, and the momentum of her charge, in behind her right fist. She watched him plummet downwards at an angle with a certain sense of satisfaction. Not it was just that damned 'over-caffeinated, wingless-mayfly on a sugar-rush' left to deal with. And the fire, mustn't forget the fire.

Right, trying to hit Burn with a Blast Round 3: Blast PA 4, AoA 5, DC 32 if Hit (1d20+10=18), and an 18 was a hit last time. If that clocks him so his flames go out (and he then likely starts falling) she'll swoop in and try to break his fall (surging and spending HP if so needed to do so). (She's got no idea of knowing whether he'd survive the fall unpowered) If it doesn't put his light out she'll still swoop in, but this time she'll surge (and spend HP) to do so as a charge (Free Action switch to Enhanced Str) and try to break him. Round 3: Charge vs Burn, PA 4, AoA 5, DC 32 if hit (1d20+12=16) Hmm, I'll spend a HP to ensure that actually hits Round 3: Reroll Charge, PA 4, AoA 5, DC 32 (1d20+12=13), 13 becomes 23. And save Round 3: Toughness save vs. Burns Aura (1d20+15=21) I'm guessing that's a Bruise, unless his Aura is rank 6 or lower. In the first case she's down Def 11 (minus any penalties the GM feel are right), in the second she's down to Def 9. HP down to either 3 (if none are needed in the first case), 2 (if she needs in case one) or 1 (if case two is what applies).

I've in theory solved my computer problem. It now starts, and I've got an internet connection from it. It's got a lot of other issues at the moment, but I should be able to pick up my posting a bit again.

That works, going to try and get a post together and up today.

MA's up for it

I understand, I've hit a rough spot and don't want to slow things down here more than I already do. So go on ahead, it should make for interesting reading at least.
