Spoiler

You heard rumors that the original Raven used to fight a nutcase that called himself the Conqueror Worm, who believed that he was a hero. He was a sort of cult leader who easily attracted others to him, as his "Night Crawlers", that he sent out to deal with anyone that didn't follow his ever changing moral code. He either died fighting or was killed by the original Raven in 1968, but his name is still whispered with fear in the poorer areas of Freedom City. 

 

Judging from you have heard of his appearance, this seems to be him, returned from the grave.

The Conqueror Worm is not someone that had traditionally been involved with magic or the supernatural in any way. It does not appear that the ritual that brought him here is what brought him back to life, but rather that it summoned him, though from what you can see, it would have required some sort of pre-existing connection between him and someone there.

Thanks :)

 

Nightscale will use the moment of respite to shape-change (assuming there is enough space, otherwise I'll edit the move). I am not sure if he has to spend an HP to clear the daze or not, in case he has, he will do so.

That will be a HP, yes, but then Dazed is done.

 

The Conqueor Worm gets 2 Initiative slots: 14 and 20 (rerolled from an 11, so he doesn't act almost one turn after another.

 

Fighting the Conqueror Worm is not simply a question of attacking him: There's also all of his Puppets, who will attack on his turn, with a variety of effects. Attacking the Puppets or otherwise trying to stop them will limit what he can do, and will potentially weaken him, but be aware that these are normal people that he is controlling, and what kind of actions you might want to take to stop them. He is high PL and not something easily stopped.

 

New Young Freedom Status:

- Both Chump and Toxin seem to very much oppose the Conqueror Worm, though who knows how long that will last?

- Casanova is awake but staggered, and currently seems to be immune to damage, sitting right next to the Conqueror Worm.

- Both Ms. Scorpion and Casanova might know more about what is going on, in case anyone want to try to interrogate them.

- Bluebird is part of the Puppets.

Total 33 to hit, actually. Which is very much a hit.

 

Reflex Save: 19

 

That means she's bound and helpless. Give me an IC @Spacefurry, then I'll go next.

Stormcrow activates Inspire 5 by using a HP and a full found action.

 

Ms. Scorpion struggles against the snare but won't break it, so she talks.

 

Chump struggles against Shift, asking to be let go.

 

And the Conqueror Worm sends his puppets swarming. Everyone except for Paper, Ms. Scorpion, Stormcrow, Shift, Casanova and Chump make a DC 20 Reflex Save vs. Area, followed by DC25 TOU save (or DC20 if you pass the first one). Remember that Inspire 5 boosts saves.

 

Toxin saves 17 and 29, no damage

Okay, Multi-Girl just makes the Reflex check with a 20. And just makes the lower toughness save, also with a 20, despite a REALLY high Toughness save thanks to the Inspire, lol.

 

Her duplicate makes the Reflex check with a 23 and easily passes the toughness save with a 26

If you got 4 extra limbs, then that's +4, and +5 Inspire... total 46.

 

Conqueror Worm: 46

 

Since you're the aggressor, you got him pinned.

DC30 TOU save: 30

That's just enough to get weaken them, which lowers the DC of the attacks that they make as a horde.

 

Toxin goes for the Conqueror Worm: 13, which actually hits because of Shift's grapple!

Unfortunately, she tried to use her Stun attack, and the Conqueror Worm is immune to Fort effects.

 

Casanova does nothing.

 

The Conqueror Worm tries to break the grapple: 34

Well, that was a bad roll, but let's see if @Heritage can't roll higher than that to maintain the grapple, given all the available bonuses.

 

The Puppets are kept away from the Conqueror Worm so far, but everyone that are currently fighting them (that would be everyone but Paper, Ms. Scorpion, Stormcrow, Shift, Casanova, Toxin and Chump) give me a DC19 Reflex Save, followed by a DC24 or DC19 TOU save, depending on whether you make it or not.

 

And then @Thevshi is up!

Okay, Multi-Girl easily makes the reflex check this time with a 31, same with the toughness save with a 28.

 

Her duplicate misses the reflex check with a 14 but makes the toughness save with a 25.

 

So, Multi-Girl will again unleash her horde of duplicates area attack, she will shift -2 from atk to add +2 damage. She only gets a 19 on the attack roll :( If that is a miss, she will use her HP to reroll getting a 28 (due to the +10 for rereoll). That is a DC 29 toughness save to a large number of the horde.

 

The duplicate will also make an attack, totally missing with a 10.
