[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1606517, member: 118"] The sewers, Downtown, Coast City Apr 17 22:44 Granite plants his fist into the "zombie's" chest. It caves inward and some of the skin rips from the torso and up through the neck as if it were paper. Some blood begins to seep out of the wound, but mostly a thick mass of greenish-gray fibrous filaments begin squirming out. They seem drawn to Granite's hand. The force of the blow, in addition to tearing away some of the flesh, sunders the cohesiveness of the body and it ceases to struggle. (ooc - a foe you are grappled with does not lose its defense bonus against the fellow grappler, only to those outside the grapple. So, Suprise Strike wouldn't come into play. Regardless, the power attack was far too much for the thing to withstand.) ***** Keyhole Apartments, Riverside, Coast City Apr 17 22:45 Jorgi sends a surge of electricity through the fluorescent light fixture above the plumber. The bulbs snap and pop out in a shower of sparks and the smell of ozone overwhelms the mustiness of the basement. The plumber's green glowing eyes are much more obvious now. Ms. Larson seems to get a boost to her spirits at the sight of help and is able to get shakily to her feet. Jorgi tries to push her toward the stairs, but she is moving just slowly enough that the plumber is able to catch up and take a swipe at Jorgi and grabs a handful of his jacket. Sensing that he'd be on the losing end of a strength contest, Jorgi simply slips out of the jacket and hurries Ms. Larson up the stairs, slamming the door shut behind him. Footsteps indicate that the plumber is not far behind. ***** 16th Street, Downtown, Coast City Apr 17 22:52 Professor Fate lands next to one of the utility trucks, drawing much of the attention of the on-lookers and police officers. Lawrence points out the costumed hero to the officer who had stopped him. "You're with him?" the officer says. "Yeah, sure you are. Look, this isn't really a place you want to be right now. As for Officer Thorn, the name sounds familiar, but I can't say I know him for sure. Might be from another precinct." Professor Fate notes the transaction between the officer and Lawrence and comes over to smooth things out. He assumes his most diplomatic posture. "Officer," he says, "this young man is indeed with me. He was one of the metahuman heroes from the incident at the hightower last night. We worked side by side to put a quick end to that situation." The officer looks at Lawrence dubiously, then recognition begins to set in. "Oh, geez. You're the one who turns into that swarm of spiders. Yeah, well, I guess it's okay then.
