"Necessary Evil" IC

Jemal · Jul 21, 2011

Siren catches Bricks eye and reads his thoughts, nodding to him that she understands, appearing slightly impressed at his continued shouldering of the device despite injuries and offers of assistance.

The atlantean princess turns her mind to focus on the undergrounders around them, not probing too deeply to be noticed, but scanning surface thoughts for any malice or hints of betrayal/violence while the sorceress speaks.
Siren avoids scanning Valerie, out of respect to her leadership roll.
(Unless she senses something amiss with the followers)

Siren can sends a myriad of different thoughts or feelings. Hope that they will get the much needed food and medicine. Relieve you seem to agree with their offer. Fear and resentment for Helis, as they heard how he cut down a harmless prisoner.

The deal seems genuine, as far as you can tell.

Ben O'hare, aka Brick

Ben nods at Sorceress' look, glad for the baseline requests of the community. This is more like it. Helping folks survive, he thinks with relief.

Gemini

The Geminis just follow silently, brooding. As the others discuss a deal with the Undergrounders, the taller Gemini says "Sure, we'll bring you some supplies. Just lead us back the way we came and we'll go pick up some stuff. No problem. Acquisitions are practically my specialty. Or close enough. Any others want to come along, of course, they can."

He starts familiarizing himself with the area's details, but doesn't much around much, so as not to stray from the leader's sight. Just enough to hopefully use the portal spell that he copied off of the Sorceress, if needed. Meanwhile, the shorter, Asian-looking Gemini takes a look at Helis and focuses on the Greek warrior, subconsciously analyzing the man's mystical armaments and physique for any anomalies from normal human physiology..... After a few seconds, he materializes replicas of Helis' armor and weapons on himself. Then he morphs his appearance to resemble Kevin Sorbo from the old TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. It occurs to him that emulating Helis' appearance too much would be a bad thing around that Valerie lady, given Helis' earlier behavior. He also notes that as usual, his mimicry was imperfect; while he seems to have copied the physical and mystical properties of Helis' weaponry, his armor is a slightly crude copy and is particularly flawed in its mystical aura emulation. At least he was getting more practice at such mimicry.....

After sufficient study of the immediate surroundings, Gemini says "Alright, I'm ready to go," and the other Gemini nods.

[sblock=ooc]Gemini's Duplicate now uses Mimic Powers on Helis, for the following results: Weapon Master Array (Hypastes - Strike 8 with Penetrating and Autofire 1 and PF: Split attack 2 and PF: Alternate Power 2, 28 pp; AP Phyla - Strike 8 with Penetrating and Secondary Effect and PF: Thrown and PF: Reach 1; AP Toxotes - Blast 8 with Autofire 1 and PF: Precise and PF: Improved Range 1), and Heracles Armor (Hard to lose, Device 3, 12 pp, Protection 3, Shield 4, Immunity 2 - critical hits, Enhanced Strength 4, and Super Strength 1 with PF: Shockwave). Follows up by using Morph to change appearance.[/sblock]

Helis grunts. "I don't like when thy do that. I won't tolerate it for long." the greek man says with his usual cheerful charismatic personality.

Sorceress

“Then it is settled. We will see what we can come up with, and once we got enough together, we will be back.”

Once they have left the caverns and are back in the sewers, the Sorceress looks for a suitable spot a bit away from the hidden entrance, where she attunes herself to, in order to be able to teleport there later.

Then she turns to her allies:

“Alright, looks like it's time to form a plan... where will we get supplies from?”

"Anwhere we want," Gemini replies. "Plenty of shmucks on the surface to get supplies from."

Friendly DM suggestions:
Rich alien-collaborators tend to have some really good food at medicine stuff stored in private ware houses. But they are heavily guarded (either by drones (only high profile collaborators), cops who receive an 'extra', or privately hired thugs).
