Rusty had gotten over confident and wiffed his last punch. It seemed this Twister was a little tougher than he had first thought. Now his outfit was starting to... wiggle? Twirl? It twisted in some way that seemed to penetrate Rusty's mind. "Guh!?!" Rusty grabs his head and staggers back from Twister. The strange waves coming off of the Twister's outfit strike home on Rusty. His mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of confusing alternatives.* "What? What's happening to me? What did you do?" Rusty staggers for a moment, leaning against the wall of the vault. The world spun for the little hero and made him confused, which scared him which made him ANGRY! Rusty Smash! He leaps at the Twister with a savage flame in his tiny green eyes!

... and the tide turns... Will Save vs. Confusion (1d20 4=14) or does it? Confusion Check. (1d20=2) Dazed and Confused? Fall back on what you know. (1d20 6=21) Save DC 21 w/ a touch of Power Attack. *OOC: So long Hedley. We'll miss you.

Oh... ow. Another swing at the whirligig. Hey that rhymed (1d20 8=28) Crit. Damage = 4+5 = 9 Save DC 24

Rusty rolls his eyes.. which goes completely unnoticed due to his minuscule size. He cracks his knuckles and stretches his arms out while he replies,"Sorry, I thought you were down for the count. Didn't know you still wanted to play. If you've still got some energy left you should have considered cutting out of here and maybe trying someplace else. I hear Montana is short on supers. Well too late. You're yelling is really getting on my nerves Whirligig. Catch!" With a burst of speed Rusty dashes across the bank floor in a tiny blur through the fierce winds and plants another one on the would be bank robber.

"I think you're just having an off day really. You know, you wake up and your hair wont comb right and you miss your train. You try to rob a little bank and some hero happens to be wandering by," offers Rusty to the bloodied criminal. "It's not that you aren't a dangerous person." He grabs a hold of the spinning villain at the waist and heaves him over his shoulder, saying, "There's just up's," With a grunt of effort he launches the baddie towards the open vault door, "and there's down's." Rusty calls out, "Can somebody get STAR over here? This guy has had a bad enough day without getting dragged by his ankles across town."

.... so do you dial *911 or something?

The amazing Word Girl and Captain Huggyface battle and defeat the evil genius Dr. Two Brains. The crowd cheers but here in Freedom City where do the super powered bad guys go? I mean handing them over to regular police would be like handing a five year old the leash to a rabid tiger. Is their a villain pickup squad or are heroes expected to be able to take care of their own messes?

That is by way of a lot of family. Lots. I mean, call up just the close relatives to come over and you'd better have three or four grills up and running all at the same time. My parents are from big families 7 and 8 and I have absolutely no idea how many children any of them ever had. We are disconnected from them and so out of the loop... Comes from having some family disagreements and a mom considered a nut job by the rest. Not a lot of bbq over at my house. So for all I know I could totally kick all your butts... and never know it. I just better trace the lineage of the kids my children date when their old enough. Though as it turns out it'll be Barnum or Daedalus' relatives so no big worries. Or you'll both be hearing about it!

The whirling rush of air circles Rusty but is unable to move the small hero. "Are you trying to fight or blow up my skirt?" Rusty leaps upwards at the villain with a grin. He flies through the whirlwind gale and lands a punch on the blurred form, not at all sure where but he felt his fist connect.

DC 16 for a trip? I thought it was the total of your moving STR PL 6 X 5 = 30 vs my total Strength & immovability bonus. Immovable 5 X4 = 20 + STR 4 + SStr 3 = 27 Alternately it would be Immovable 5 + Str 4 + SuperStrength 3 = 12 which is only a 1 point roll difference so no big deal. I didn't know which way it worked. I'll roll the second way for now because I just don't know. Trip Save w/ Strength & Immovable bonus (1d20 12=28) Attack: Another punch (1d20 8=21) Save DC 19

The smashing and crashing sounds of ricocheting bad guy fill the air. That was a good solid punch but not that good. I've never made anyone bounce. Best finish this off before I've got a fight on my hands, though I hate to hit a guy when he's ... nah. Rusty zips back towards the resilient criminal with the intent of mayhem. Silence and stealth had been his friends so far but he couldn't stay in the shadows and fight crime at the same time. At least not today. He grabs a hold of the man in the costume and delivers a head butt from his ball-peen hard skull.

Hit to Grapple & Opposed Grapple Roll (necessary against a stunned opponent?) for Damage (1d20 8, 1d20-9=[5, 8], [20, -9]) Standard Damage 4 Talk about nearly missing the broad side of a barn!

Why don't you keep your point as well then and we can call it even? Save it for the next wall you make friends with.

Ah! I'm sorry! I completely over looked that! I still fall back on DnD sometimes. Suprise round = full round. Would you be willing to say it was an Extra Effort / Hero point spent situation if that's okay? I'd also be okay if you wanted to hurl invectives and call a mulligan. - Twister lifts his foot to brush a piece of lint from his costume, unware that five inches of anger only narrowly missed sending him through a wall...

Rusty quickly appraises the situation with his keen eye for details. Some idgit is robbing a bank. Probably caused the whirlwind and there are no free mp3 players or toasters or calendars. I am going to knock his block off. Hope nothing splatters on that pretty teller. Rusty races into action, delivering a powerful hammerlike punch to the thief's ankle before racing around the corner of the wall by the vault.

Suprise round attack. (1d20 4=22) Actions: Move By Attack Power attack +4 / - 4 Attack = Damage +8 That'll be my one chance to get away with that. - If there is any knockback who figures it out?- Rusty is now around the corner of the wall by the vault door. And for the opening round... Initiative Roll (1d20 8=25)

Rusty races along the streets, enjoying a quiet day in Freedom City. His feet wick up a small line of water behind him as he flashes over the wet roads. For fun he had been drifting across lanes and iceskating across the water and oil on the roads surface. The birds were chirping, probably, though it was hard to tell over the steady noise of Midtown. The sun was in the sky and all was right in the world. As he shotots past a gorgeous brunette in a sun dress Rusty smiles to himself. Down the block he notices a gush of air blowing the buds from the nearby tree and a whirlwind of street debris blasting feet into the air and slowly drifting back down. “Might as well check it out. Nothing else going on until dinner time.†In a few seconds he in near the source of the wind and looks up to see the E-Sea bank logo. “Whirlwind at a bank? Maybe they’re giving away iPods with new checking accounts.†Rusty moves into the bank cautiously and on the lookout for trouble... or iPods.

I'd take a whack at you though I warn you... you might get away and have to face the consequences of your actions. Getting a lot of money. Rusty Nail - http://www.endlessflight.net/freedom/viewtopic.php?t=933

If it's for the kids.... sure! I'd love to. Velocity can run a shell game with Rusty as the pea. Which cup is he under? With her shifting cups at 100 mph and Rusty randomly dodging underneath.... $5 a bet and good luck!

I get a tin can nailed to the side of the sidecar.

... I've just realized I'm a sidekick. *sigh*

Rusty to the rescue! Do we just pop in or request... er.. maybe I'll let you go in first. :D

That would be awesome. "Hey! This isn't a wallet! What the.." *snap*! *crackle*!! *pop*!!! "Aaaahhh!!!" - "Good job Rusty. Back in the purse." ... now I wish I hadn't gone with Compression ... Rusty is heavier than gold at his size. Ah, he's more of a speed bump sort of guy anyway.
