Chrome's RADAR kept him abreast of the fight even as he traded blows and ducked punches with the gorilla. He noticed when one of the baddies on the ground broke off her attack and started booking it for the aircraft. He knew that it was important to keep the bad guys from breaking their hole in the side of the plane, but he also knew that he couldn't let any of the bad guys get to the doors. The whole fight would be for nothing if someone got inside and to the President. The teen jumped away from the gorilla, and in mid-air jet exhausts began to poke out of his back and feet. There was a short hum and then he was zooming across the tarmac, directly at the psychic. "Bear hug!" he shouted as he impact with the woman, wrapping his shining limbs around her. "Before you get on this flight, there are some questions we should ask," he said to her, pinning her arms to her side. "Did you pack your own bags?"

First things first, Chrome is going to Regenerate that Bruise. His Recovery check is 18+8, so he succeeds. Next, Chrome is going to change his Nanoassisted Movement Array into Flight 2 and Charge the psychic, I guess! Trying to Grapple him. Attack is 16 + 10 + 2 = 28. If that hits, Grapple check is 8 + 21 = 29. If possible, while grappling I'd like to nominate the plane as his Interpose target. The next attack on Air Force One should hit Chome (and hopefully the psychic as well!).

The question of the egg on the table was a conundrum that continued to evolve before their eyes. As they watched, the egg of crystal shivered and separated, legs and claws and tail and head becoming distinct and uncurling from the main body. In moments the egg had returned to the shape of the dinosaur, standing on the lab table. It looked up at Terrifica and Miracle Girl, squawked at them, and then leapt down lightly to the floor. The creature retreated from the heroes, its crystal toes making tiny click-clack-click sounds on the tile as it went.

Happy birthday Nick, and thank you for all the hard work you put in to make this site great.

Chrome gets 11 on his Toughness check, +10 makes that 21. Yikes. Uh, since it's a HP to reroll and he'll Regen the Bruise anyway, I'll say he's going to spend a HP to clear the Daze on his turn.

BLINGED OUT by the Absurdist Chrome Chrome has 4 unspent PP. Buying Interpose (3PP) Removing Leaping 2 (5PP) Spending 5 PP on Nanoassisted Movement array (0PP) Reworking his Damage power to remove the Super-Strength and tone down the Penetrating, to have a Drain (Toughness) effect instead. With these changes he should have spent all of his PP.

Chrome balanced on the airplane, dropping to put one hand on the skin of the craft as the gorilla and the pyromaniac tore into it. He gritted his teeth, feeling fear and guilt as Chapter Zero kept pummeling Air Force One. He had gotten the firecracker away from the plane, but she was apparently perfectly capable of hitting it from a good distance away. But it seemed like the gorilla, at least, didn't have a ranged weapon! Chrome charged down the length of the airplane and leapt at the last moment, striking the ape square in its hairy chest. He landed easily and took up a boxing stance. "Fasten your seatbelt, Magilla," he said. "I'm about to take you for a trip."

Asli watched the room closely. The instigators -- the racists -- didn't seem inclined to make their move quite yet. Or at least, they weren't making another move as obvious as a man dropping dead on the dance floor. Her magic, sustained by an almost sub-sonic beat played through the bar's speakers, was keeping the crowd calm and at ease. She even saw a few people getting new drinks from the bar, like there was nothing at all wrong! She wondered if that was a blessing or if she should be concerned how much control she had over them... Her eyes flicked down to Joe as he made his way through the passive crowd. Just seeing him there made her feel less overwhelmed and alone. If a fight broke out it would be good to have him there, throwing down with the other shaved heads and giving her a bit of breathing space. For now, though, she took a moment to flick responses back at him. Stay and watch. And then, indicating Aydin calmly sipping his coffee, important and protect.

Chrome is going to Charge into the fight with the Gorilla. Just trying to punch him now and distract him from the plane. Oh, to have Impervious and Interpose! His Attack is 9 + 10 + 2 from charging = 21. If that hits, it's a DC25 Toughness save. Either way, Chrome's at -2 Def for this round.

I'm almost certain that the refs won't allow you to place Sidekick into an array. That being said, I don't think you need to stat up the cloak or his assistant as separate NPCs. Unless they're going to be following along in fights and making their own actions, such a thing can probably live in Complications and story.

Happy birthday, H. Let's hope this is just a mid-life celebration.

This would be the proper forum, yes.

The Freedom City book hasn't been released for 3E yet. That's one of the ones they've been teasing for awhile IIRC. I'd grab the 2E one, though, since it's what most of our stuff is based on anyway. There's quite a few other magically-active PCs. I'd take a look through the Active Heroes section of the Character Bank and check out folks like Nick Cimiterie and Phantom for a primer. There's Cross' Roads which is quite similar to Giles's store, but I think the city can accommodate another one if you would rather go that route. PCs are not allowed to be teachers at Claremont Academy. The folks who run this board don't want PCs automatically in positions of authority over other PCs -- that's why there's no cops and why the mayor is an NPC.

The Shaken wears off in one round, so Walker's out of it. Hammer gets hit by the tail and makes his grapple check; 16 + 7 = 23, a pretty good result but not good enough for here. Walker wins by 5+ and Hammer is Bound and Helpless.
-
Okay, should all be caught up now. Ready for Walker's post.

"Chapter Zero? The heck?" Chrome shook his head. "You think these bozos would pick a name that made them sound dangerous." He pushed off the tarmac, shining legs moving him quickly as he thumped across the space, leaving craters in his wake. He approached the plane at amazing speed and, at the last moment, pushed off the ground and leapt into a flat leap across the back of Air Force One. He was focused on the pyromancer and he hit her square on, knocking her off the plane and towards the fence line. Chrome made a flip in the air and landed lightly on the back of the plane, balancing on the thin skin of it. "See? Chapter zero of a book weighs nothing at all, you can throw it around like no one's business. Now if this was, like, Chapter Eighty-seven, maybe you guys would have some push behind what you're doing."
-
I think that hits Chrome's maximum at 70 feet. Pushes Pyro off the plane, at least!
-
Chrome's going to try and Rush the pyro standing on top of the plane. First, though, stunting off Cybernetic Enhancements. Enhanced Strength 22 That brings his Str up to 30, which should be +10. Then he's going to try and run at the pyro. That's going to be a Charge followed by a Rush, so he'll be at +2 ATT/-2 DEF for this round. 13+12 means 25 to attack, then opposed Str checks. His Str check is 10 + 2 for movement powers. 12+9 is a result of 21 to try and move the pyro.
-
Okay, so then it's Initiative 33 -- Blue Jay -- Uninjured -- HPx2 22 -- Gun -- Daze, Bruisex1 -- GM 17 -- Sword -- Daze, Uninjured -- GM 10 -- Hammer -- Uninjured -- GM 9 -- Sun Walker -- Uninjured -- HPx6 Gun & Sword are both out this round, so it's Hammertime. He'll try and smack Sun Walker: 8+8 is 16, which misses Walker. His Perception check is 7+4 = 11, which sees Blue Jay.

Asli grabbed her jacket and followed after Joe. It was easy to follow the flow of people headed towards the windows and the fire exits. She slipped into the lady's restroom and flashed her light around. Satisfied that she was alone, Asli muttered the words of her own transformation. In moments she was once again clad in the long robe and heavy cowl she was used to. She walked directly through the door to meet Cannonade in the hallway. "We better get out there," she agreed. "We have to keep an eye out for... Out for... Excuse me." Miras wiped her hand across her brow. The office building was already beginning to get hot and stuffy, especially the hallway. And the fact that she was wearing many pounds of cotton wasn't helping things. "Just give me a moment," she said, and then began muttering magical words under her breath. The bodysuit stayed, she considered, though patches did open in the material below her knees and on her biceps. Most of the material of her robe disappeared, leaving her with a cowl and a kaffiyeh. Her gloves disappeared up to the middle of her forearms while henna appeared to recreate the designs. The sorceress shook out her arms, considering the new look. "There we go. Miras: Summer Spectacular edition." she winked at Cannonade. "Meet you in the lobby, lover." With that she dropped through the floor, quickly falling through the levels of office building towards the ground.

Blue Jay rolled to a new position, crunching across the gravel roof. She popped up again, this time into a full firing stance. There was a bow of cerulean energy in her hands and she pulled back and loosed, again and again and again. The man with the gun was still the most obvious target so that's she was shot at, and a storm of arrows slammed into the man as he stood on the roof of the car. He gave a cry as it forced him back, the energy bolts exploding around him. His hand closed tighter to keep a grip on the weapon and there was a terrific thunderous crash as it fired, blowing a chunk out of a building's lintel. On the street, the man with the blue mask and the hammer stared at the archer and the exploded lintel for a moment before turning to Sun Walker. "You! You two are working together, aren't you? Get out of my way, monkey brain!" He lifted up the hammer and brought it down, shattering the sidewalk but missing the simian hero.

Initiative 33 -- Blue Jay -- Uninjured -- HPx2 22 -- Sun Walker -- Shaken, Uninjured -- HPx6 22 -- Gun -- Daze, Bruisex1 -- GM 17 -- Sword -- Daze, Uninjured -- GM 10 -- Hammer -- Uninjured -- GM Sun Walker and Gunny have the same Initiative and same Initiative modifier, but Sun Walker has the better Dex so he goes first. Blue Jay's going to start by shooting a bunch of arrows at Gunny. She rolls a 20 to hit, so a crit, and she'll take +5 to her damage. That gives her a 35 overall which handily beats his flat-footed Def of 12, and gives her the full Autofire bonus. Total Toughness DC is 30. He rolls a 17+8 on his Toughness, so 25, so that's Daze + Bruise. Jay has to make her Stealth check again, 4+3 means it's only a DC 7 to spot her.

If you didn't do much with her, do you have to change her much? Just resubmit her like she was never around in the first place, if you really want to play a teen.

Happy birthday, Thunder King
