Binder Fred
3 rings to bind them all!
Nightshift pats the tucked-in card, though his steps and attention are directed at the greatest threat present : namely the bomb. "Didn't have time to disconnect the cap." He holds up the cigarette-thin aluminium cylinder, red wires trailing. "You got a wire cutter?"Jemal said:The Agent also reflexively ducks away, but the dynamite fails to ignite. "Jeez... wait, is that still active? Whatever, I'll deal with it, you guys just get out of here. OH, and.. Uh.. Shifter." he shrugs at Nightshift, "(I doubt you wanna share your name yet, but I gotta call you something.) Don't forget to call."
Rawling looks up as light spills from the hole in the ceiling and a thundering voice is heard over the eggbeater sweeps of whirling blades. He can see the dark outlines of the female reporter up there and, more problematic, the red-white-and-blue kid... "Charlie Brown."
Well, one thing at a time. He extends his left hand - "To me!" - and closes it on Cassandra's. "Welcome back green eyes," he says before raising his voice, "Jump down! She's safe!"
<Response Red Impulse?>
He hasn't let go of her hand. In fact, she can feel the same warmth flooding out from it as she felt before, when he first took her to the roof. "Anything you can do for him?" he softly asks, concerned.
<He's refering to the kid on the roof, of course. Response Cassandra?>
[sblock=Actions]Free=Seize Initiative to act before Red Impulse and Cassandra
Move=Disarm bomb as a Manipulate an object move-equivalent action (all that's left is to either cut the wires or unwrap the ducttape and untwine them if no cutter or equivalent is available). If not then the job is still ongoing.
Free=Activate the To Me teleport he set on Cassandra 2 rounds ago.
Standard= put another To Me teleport on her.
HERO POINTS: 2 used, none left
HEALTH: Fatigued
DEFENSE bonus: 20 [10 + 3Base + 7Shield power] ---> FLATFOOTED 11
TOUGH 10 [0Base + 3con + 7Costume power]
FORT 3 [0Base + 3con]
REF 7 [4Base + 3dex] (Area effect = no dam on succ save)
WILL 10 [8Base + 2Wis][/sblock][sblock=Future guidelines]Hey there, Jemal! Next round, assuming the kid is safe and the bomb is disarmed:
To the Agent: "Give the kid a card, will you? He seems to need the help."
To the kid: "Glad you're safe, son... BUT, if you'd waited three seconds longer before acting, *this* would've happened:". To The Crystal: "Think light thoughts," then double move teleport, first 1000' up through the hole in the roof then down to a quiet rooftop with cover from the heli (under the com tower he first squatted?) or, if he can manage, within one of the surrounding buildings in a room free of snippers. Once he's sure the place is fairly secure, activate both To Me teleports, one on each hand, bringing Cassandra and Gordon to him.[/sblock][sblock="Jemal and Renau1g only, please"]IDEA=With Renau1g's blessing, we could do a bit of metagaming and say The Crystal is too heavy to teleport in his crystal form. He'd then be forced to change to his human form before Rawling can pull him through. Nice way to get the Secret identity/Heroic motivation side thread going (and imagine Rawling's face when Gordon appears instead ).
I think it would be interresting roleplay, but YMMV, of course. Let me know what you think.[/sblock]_______________________________________________________
Binder Fred, hopefully back soon.
