Avenger spends the entire round refocusing, so he'll go at the top of the initiative order next time. Dark Star is up.
-
"Let's go," said Avenger decisively, pulling his shirt back on and finding the spare costume he kept hidden in the basement. "Phantom can scry for Dark Star and get us all in gear. Inigo Montoya here can go find who murdered his father."
-
"I've got an idea," said Edge. He fired his grapple gun at the roof of the nearest building and was soon climbing his way up the side, just like Adam West in the old Raven TV show. Over his commlink, he said, "I just need to get high enough so I can see all the police officer's guns! And you guys better be ready to move in real fast if the bad guys do anything bad!"

Freedom Angel's Comprehend should read "Speak/Be Understood In/Understand" all languages. CLARIFIED BY SHAENTHEBRAIN

"Psychics are pretty cool," agreed Edge, bouncing up and down on his heels. "Sometimes they can be a little creepy, but Alex is okay. We've got one girl who goes to school here who gets her psychic powers from somewhere in s-p-a-c-e, if you know what I mean," he said, pointing to the sky. "Do you have powers?" he asked Midnight. "Because if not, that's still awesome."
-
I think he knows that by now, yes.
-
Seems like enthusiasm is low here. Since this is important to a couple of character's story arcs, I'll post a wrap-up in a couple of days if no one goes. =)

"Super-Hitler clones!?" Edge's eyes widened. "I always knew this day would come!" He shot a look at Ace. "Mr. Danger, do you still have that big steam-powered machine gun you used in the Adventure of Ace Danger and the Steam-Punks? Because if so, I have a great idea for what we can do with the Super-Hitler clones!"
-
"No, which is too bad, because I could use her to solve this thing easy-peasy," said Edge, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. He'd changed into his costume in a moment, and had encouraged Faith to put on her school uniform as well. "If I could just see inside there, I could help them all out. I wouldn't even need to be near the building to do it. Do the cops have a security camera set up or something, like in those SWAT movies?"
-
Wander's devastating blow, aimed at the area that Midnight had already cunningly tricked the Grue into striking, finished the huge shapeshifter with a single mighty strike. Giving a low, terrible moan, it collapsed beneath Midnight like a bowl of jelly, slowly collapsing down into a wet, sticky puddle as unconsciousness took from it all vestiges of shape.

"Feh. We chased away the monster, didn't we?" Jack looked down at the place where Stesha had been and shook his head. "I've buried too many friends down here," he said unhappily. A moment later, with hopefulness dawning in his voice, he added, "The difference is, Stesha buried herself. That's something, at least. The soil down here is very fertile, it's been used to grow many things over the years." He folded his arms behind his back, his well-muscled torso flexing as he did so. Fighting the urge to violently beat Jack's good guess out of his skull, he simply said, "I don't come to your house and ask you a lot of stupid questions about your personal life, so I'll thank you not to do the same. As for you, Ace, you're not getting any of my mushrooms." He relaxed at that, putting his arms around Taylor.

ic Monsters in the Streets! - Southside (IC)
Avenger Assembled replied to Geez3r's topic in Southside
In a flash of light, the angel of Freedom appeared over the airport, grief on his face as he heard the screaming and terror below. Despite himself, he shot a look at the skies overhead, wishing for the impossible: for the Celestial Host to be by his side as they had been in his youth, when he'd been just a soldier in the eternal war against the Adversary. But they weren't there of course. This was a fight for superheroes. Hoping his new friends in the Freedom League had gotten the same signal he had, he dove to battle. -
18, when he does go.

Jack Faretti was not, by the standards of most people, a smart man. But he was a cunning man, with the low, quick strategizing of a predator. And what he saw when he looked out his bedroom window that morning offended his predator's instincts to the very core. "They couldn't have come five hours ago?!" He swore, violently, and moved to change. "Honey, we've got to go," he said to Taylor. Despite himself, his eyes fell on her belly. "Why don't you go get the other Midnighters?" he suggested. "While I engage one of these?"
-
Roaring helplessly, the blinded Grue went staggering around, waving its giant armored fists. "Crush you! I crush you!" It pulled back a giant fist and brought it up to smash it into Midnight, a blow that had the unfortunate side-effect of striking his own face full on. He staggered, and nearly fell, his blood running freely even as he walloped Midnight.

Dead Men Do Tell Tales (IC)
Avenger Assembled replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in The Theatre District
"Have met undead aliens before," said Avenger with perfect reassurance. "Tricky customers. But not these. Just stupid children, echoing rituals they don't understand. Not that it'll save them, or us, if they stumble across something particularly vile. " Avenger spoke with real contempt; Jack had plenty of experience with cultists, and it hadn't been at all pretty. He paced around the cemetery, abandoning his usual practice of climbing on mausoleums and tombstones for the sake of his guest's sensibilities. "When the living make traffic with the dead, nothing good can come of it." -
The giant Grue is bruised. Have an HP. That's a DC 27 Tou save for Trevor.
-
The Grue gave an agonized roar as Midnight struck it a painful blow, staggering the huge giant. It looked down at Midnight and gave a terrible, angry hiss. "Your bones will feed the hives of our young!" he spat with murderous intent before hurling a massive bony fist the size of Midnight's entire body directly at the dark-clad teen, shattering the pavement beneath him.
-
Wander's staff drove itself deep into "Tesla's" mouth, breaking teeth and sending a shower of blood everywhere as the foul-faced fiend collapsed, landing in a welter of broken teeth and fangs, wiggling and hissing as it collapsed back to a single formless mass. With his 'partner' down, the giant Grue gave a terrible roar of rage!
-
Gamma is down for the count. Our order is Wander Grue 1 "Tesla" Midnight Grue 2 "Tim" Wander is up.
-
"Good. Because Tesla Atom didn't." And with those words, she suddenly drew back her fist and hurled it at Midnight, the limb, suddenly a razor-spiked, ominously dripping tentacle erupting past his face with blinding speed. She gave a malignant, terrible hiss at that, huge teeth erupting in her lovely face. Behind her, her 'boyfriend' turned bright red and began to grow and grow, suddenly reaching a height of nearly thirty feet as he revealed his true terrible alien nature!
-
"No, baby," said Mark reassuringly, "your cooking is the best ever." He smiled at her, and in her eyes totally forgot about the weird doubts he'd had about their relationship lately...for a little while, anyway. Faith wasn't _that_ into him, anyway. "So, Mike," he asked, "are you and Alex going out anywhere tonight?" he asked hopefully.
-
"Bright," Jack commented, automatically shielding his eyes from the harsh glare like a man looking directly into the sun. "The soil here is good. It should give her the nutrients she needs...for whatever she's working on." He watched as Stesha partially sank into her new home. "And for the record, Ace, the mushrooms are used at Sajarno's, the organic pizzeria on Ditko Street. Best brick oven pizza in the tri-county area, or so I've heard."
-
"Oh, wow!" said Edge, putting his hand over his mouth. "That was wicked," he murmured quietly. "Mr. Danger, is he okay? Are we going to need to stage...an exorcism?" he asked worriedly. "That looked like really powerful magic, and you don't want to get possessed by just any scroll."
