Locked up.

Wander and Archer made their way up out of the Doom Room into the bright light of a summer afternoon, yet another shift in perspective in a day that had been full of them. Archer reminded Erin about her meeting with him tomorrow before he started to let her go, leaving her out on the green and grassy quad surrounded by happy, cheerful students. "Erin?" He turned and looked back at her. "For the record, no one's ever stayed on their feet that long. You did well."
-
"You did fine on the test, Erin," said Mr. Archer after another long pause. "We'll talk about how we're going to handle your combat training on Monday, after you've had time to settle into your other classes. C'mon, let's get out of here and up into the sunshine. I think we've both had enough of this room for one day." Inside, Archer was already making plans about who he'd call to help out with Erin's training...and how he'd write up his report for this exciting afternoon a little later.
-
Archer said nothing to Erin at first, letting her finish pounding the floor and crying out in frustration before he spoke. "Erin, you didn't fail the test. You were supposed to show me how you fight, and now I know. You did everything that was asked of you." He was quiet for a moment, studying her. "When you're ready, you can come back here and fight Thunderbolt on your own. Right now, who'd win in a fight between the two of you isn't really important."

Another bolt of lightning hit Wander in the chest, the teenage hero forcing herself through the pain to throw herself off the roof one more time. A few moments before her feet actually left the roof, though, the world around her rippled and vanished. She found herself standing up in the middle of the Doom Room, the dust and blood on her uniform completely gone, only the rips and her own mental state to show that she'd just been in simulated combat for her life. It was only a moment before she heard Mr. Archer's voice from well behind her at the very edge of the Doom Room. "Take a breath, Erin," he told her with a firm, compassionate teacher's voice. "Cool down."
-
"I can SEE YOU!" From down below, Erin could see Thunderbolt coming at her fast, her eyes glowing white "You'd better run, little girl!" she yelled as she drew level with Wander, hanging back a couple of hundred feet across the street. "Run like the wind!" She fired a blast of energy from her eyes at Wander from there, electricity crackling as it blasted into Wander's chest.

Have an HP. Make a DC 19 Will save vs. Dazzle.
-
Magnificent! Did you want to go any further?
-
EDIT: Because we had a miscommunication about Erin's intent. Roll your Stealth. Notice is 25.
-
I need a Reflex save, Dark Star. DC 23. (Yes, he's got Affects Insubstantialx2) ;)

When its time to party we will party hard
Avenger Assembled replied to angrydurf's topic in Wading Way
Jack stared at Ace, feeling an odd twist in his chest. When he spoke, it was with real feeling, the drunken sot he'd been pretending to be disappearing for a revealing moment. "Choosing a better life is a more difficult task for some people than others. With all the disadvantages that people in the Fens have, their protectors need to work especially hard. And the people there who need fighting, those who prey on their neighbors, should suffer especially for preying on the weakest and the most vulnerable. There's nothing worse than someone who feeds on the suffering of their neighbors. Nothing." A little belatedly, Jack looked down at his empty glass. "I think I need more liquor. Excuse me." -
facepalm I forgot about Wander's Regeneration! She has one level of Bruised that she loses at the end of this round. She is still fatigued, and Thunderbolt is still Bruisedx2/Injuredx2.
-
That would make a lot of sense, Q.

"My beautiful face!" Thunderbolt yelped as Wander broke her nose. Now severely battered, the version of Captain Thunder from Gender-Inverted-Anti-Earth shot Wander a murderous glare. "You make me sick!" she yelled, throwing a bolt of energy at Erin that missed entirely! Screaming in fury, she suddenly rocketed upwards, blasting right through the hole in the ceiling Erin had left behind the last time she'd come crashing in through the roof. "You'd better run!"
-
"Aagh!" Wander felt ribs break beneath her fist for the fifth time that day as Thunderbolt's eyes began glowing a brilliant white. "You made me mad now, you crazy killer! Eat lightning!" she yelled, hurling a bolt of lightning right at the fallen Wander that hit her right in the center of the chest, the flash of energy from the blast so powerful as to nearly blot out the world even before it hit.

The bridge collapsed beneath Magni's feet, the startled Viking godling shouting in surprise as he fell into the cold water below. As the river swept Magni away, the crowd of warriors behind Mike began to cheer his victory and his prowess in combat. As he watched Magni disappear down the river, the simulation faded around them entirely, leaving Mike and Magni alone in the empty Doom Room. "Michael!" Magni rose to his feet and crossed the room, clapping Phalanx on the shoulder with a boisterous grin on his face. "Congratulations! You have passed your trials with flying colors! Come, let us celebrate in the cafeteria!"

Make a DC 27 Toughness save, Erin.
-
Thunderbolt coughed blood, a vindictive look in her eye as Wander's powerful punch hit home. "Good hit, honey," she spat. Shaking off the impact and wiping her lip, she raised gloved fists, disdaining another lightning attack for a more direct blow. "Question. Can you fly?" With that, she threw a devastating punch at Wander, landing a solid blow in her mid-section that hit harder than a tank-shell's impact. "Here's some HELP!"
-
OK; Erin avoids the Dazzle effect. Captain Thunderbolt won't pull her punches next time! Erin, you're up.
-
Have an HP since I had her surge. You need to make a Reflex save vs. DC 22 to avoid the Dazzle.
-
A blast of energy tore through the wall near Erin, blasting straight through the decaying plaster and wood and blowing a huge crater in the opposite wall. Through the new opening flew a strange-looking woman, her white hair and blue uniform matching Captain Thunder's, but her tightly-clinging outfit making no illusions of the fact that she was indeed a she. "I have you now!" she called, firing a blast of electricity from her fingers that hit Erin right in the face!
-
Captain Thunderbolt's Initiative is better: 27
-
Would Breakdown like to participate in a Placement Test for his powers? If so, give me a little bit yet. I'm running a lot of those. :)

Erin crashed through the roof entirely and slammed into the stone floor in the level beneath, sitting up as she realized she still had what was left of the simulated Blackbird all around her. Disengaging from the broken man, she realized she was entirely unhurt despite all the punishment she'd received so far, three enemies down in a four-enemy test. Until suddenly, shockingly, she heard a huge crash from somewhere nearby in the building. She wasn't alone up here...

I need a DC 23 "Toughness" Save, Wander.
