Faust

Breschau dusted off the ash and debris from his shoulder, groaning as he did. He was aching everywhere and slightly disoriented. “Thank you, Sparksmith,†Breschau told the young man. Breschau had just regained control over his body when the whole building burst into flames. Fortunately the Sparksmith was there to get him safely to the street. Breschau was prepared to do battle again when he saw the being appear on the roof of the burning building. But before he could regain his strength, the being disappeared. He was alive, but Breschau was disappointed that they were not able to stop the creature from escaping. “What was that thing?†Breschau wondered with disgust. He did not like being anyone’s puppet, especially something so evil like the being. Anger and hatred filled his soul every time he thought of the being. “One day…one day,†Breschau told himself. But now wasn’t the time to think about vengeance. A young boy needed to be brought to a healer. Luckily no other civilians were hurt.

Even though I know he wont succeed: Breschau's will save to break free of the being's possession. (1d20+10+2=26)

Breschau found it odd that the being did not resist when it was pinned down. Was it not afraid of the heroes' wrath? Soon enough, he found the reason why. The creature disappeared from his sight and his grasp, and with it Breschau's control over his own body. His arms pushed himself off the ground and his legs carried him towards his companions. His mouth opened and from it spoke his voice mixed with the being's. It was threatening Gabriel. This feeling was terribly familiar. It was as if this was not the first time his body was taken over. Memories of hate and violence flashed through his mind. Was this another illusion from the creature? He knew the creature's intent was to use him to harm his friends. He did not wish to do so, but there was nothing he could do about it. Her magic was stronger than him. He couldn't break free. The only way out of this was for him to be taken out. "Come on... Come on! Do it! Do it! Come on. Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Come on! Do it now! Kill me!" Breschau screamed in his thoughts, delirious from the struggle in his mind. As if hearing him, Breschau's companions acted. Breschau saw Gabriel and Gaian attempts to subdue him. Breschau could not tell what Gabriel did, as nothing seemed to happen. Suddenly the ground under Breschau rose, as if trying to grab him. This must be Gaian using his powers. Sadly, Breschau's body quickly moved out of the way. The Being had full control. Breschau could only guess what the creature was thinking. He could see that he was looking straight at Gabriel. He used all of his will to prevent what he thought the being would do next. It was hopeless. His fist had struck Gabriel.

I'm interested in having either of my characters help Eddie out. If he's got the need for a pl10 fighter or a pl7 teleporter, I'd like to join

Breschau Will save against DC22 from the being (1d20+10=29) whew

Breschau felt the ground shake when he hit the being with his mighty blow. He stepped back expecting to see the abomination crumpled up on the ground...but no! If the being was hurt it did not show. Nothing could still be standing after such attack, let alone survive. This puzzled Breschau. While he stood there preparing his next move, a blast that seem to have come from Muse struck the being. Still it did not falter. Then the beast smiled! "It it just toying with us?" Then the beast spoke! For a tiny moment, Breschau felt immense pain. Pain he could not understand. "Raaaaaargh!" he screamed and broke free of the illusion. Were it not for the rage in his heart he would have not been able to snap out of it. In that same moment, an invisible but powerful force came from Gabriel. It seemed to have fazed the creature. Breschau could not tell. Next storm of rock and debris showered on the abomination. "My companions seem to be hurting this creature," Breschau thought, "Perhaps it is not in my destiny to crush this abomination." With that,he swiftly moved behind the being and grabbed both it's arms, holding them behind it's back. "Give this monster all your wrath!" Breschau yelled. Suddenly he felt a rush of pleasure. It is as if holding on to the creature was the best decision he has ever made. He was about to give up his tight grip for a tender one.. but then he realized it was another illusion! "You wont have me, deceiver!"

Breschau could hear everything that was happening inside the store via the device Kurt handed to Gaian Knight. He heard the discussion between the gangs leader and Gabriel. He heard how Gabriel was able to convince the children to go home. He heard how Gabriel calmed the youth named Jermaine down. Everything was going smoothly...until the leader revealed itself. Breschau heard the crash as the teen was thrown by the leader. Breschau was not amused. In fact, he was enraged! "Witch! Demon!" Breschau roared. Swiftly, he leapt facing Gaian's wall stepping on the hole he used to see through. With his right foot planted on the hole, he jumped towards the adjacent alley wall, kicking it with his left allowing him to vault over the earthen facade. Breschau then landed on the other side of the wall, bending down, rolling and getting up in one fluid motion as he hit the ground. He entered the shop as fast as he could, making every step count. Inside, he saw Gabriel's eyes fixed on a creature Breschau could not comprehend. On it's hand, it held Muse by the neck. The scene caused Breschau to hesitate for a fraction of a second. "This creature had the audacity to harm a helpless child! I cannot allow it to harm anyone more!" he said in his mind. Breschau clenched his fists and raised both his arms "Abomination! I shall drive you down into the abyss!" he yelled as he slammed his massive arms down to the creature.

Another monster bashing? Save a spot for Breschau!

Note: Raveled gave me permission during chat to take Ironclad along with The Courier when they teleport near the boiler room.

The woman in green armor must have been in deep thought because she hadn't noticed the Courier's invitation. She was still examining the weapons when the Courier pat her shoulder. The more time they spent there, the greater the chances of losing the hostages. "Sorry about this, miss," Daniel said as he vanished with the SWAT officer and the armored woman. Based on the direction and the description of the boiler room, The Courier teleported the trio by it's entrance where the two male heroes previously crashed through. What Daniel saw when he got there confused him. It was like a scene from a wacky cartoon. Zombified hoods, an old hag and a muscled sumo wrestler. Then there was that blue dome covering the hostages. One thing that wasn't like a cartoon was the overall dread of the situation. Daniel had no idea what was going on. "I've got to get them out of here!" The Courier said, preparing his next move.

The Courier: Initiative Roll (1d20+2=6)

Breschau's Initiative (1d20+27=36)

oh wait! i think it hits... DC is 25+5 due to power attack

Breschau move action: close in to gator A standard action: power attack Breschau's Power Attack Roll (+4 for size, -5 for Power Attack) (1d20+10+4-5=13) siiiggh

Breschau, running, closed in on the gargantuan reptiles. He was about to use his momentum to strike the nearest beast when he spotted others who were also approaching. Distracted, he stopped for a moment. One was a flying armored man. Recalling armors of long ago, Breschau suspected the man would be torn to pieces by the beast's teeth. What worried Breschau more was the arrival of a fragile looking girl! "Are these people mad?!" he wondered. "Flee to safety, citizens! Your lives are at risk!" he shouted. He was too late to run after them for the beast was already several feet away from him. He stared at the reptile's giant eyes and moved in. He slowly raised his left arm, as if to shield himself, while lowering his right. With his feet firmly planted on the ground, he pushed upwards with all his might. Swinging his right fist skywards, he gave the beast a massive uppercut aimed at it's chin.

"Wait, let me join you..or better yet, let me take you there," The Courier told the officer before he got the chance to run. "Tell me more or less where it is, and we could be there without you wasting your breath," he said. Suddenly he remembered what happened the first time he entered the food court unannounced...and the second time. "We could jump by the door of the boiler room, study the situation then plan our action," he added, not wanting to make the same mistake again. The Courier then turned to the green armored woman and gave her his hand. "Your friend is probably already there. Care to join us, Miss..?" Daniel asked her, looking for some kind of name tag or symbol.

The Courier Yet another Gather Information for the location of the hostages (1d20+6=12) I don't think I would be getting much info for that :|

"Gee, I guess she doesn't know much," The Courier thought. It's been a while since the two male heroes flew out of sight. Daniel wondered if they found the rest of the hostages by now. "And, before you go, dear-may I call you dear?-anyway, before you go, do you know where they will be taking the hostages? Will they still be in the mall?" He asked the hooded captive, still trying to be his charming self. "Am I really this charismatic, or is it just the mask and the suit? I really hope I'm not so ugly that I look better with my face covered," Daniel pondered.
