[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5250376, member: 42169"] The room's lights begin to dim as the events MC can be heard on the reception hall's speakers, "Lady's and Gentlemen, Heroes and Crimefighters, I would like to introduce our guests of honor: United Super Hero Alliance junior members, Bandage Boy and Micro-Tina!" The two members slowly made their way to the dais accompanied by the chorus of jeers from the audience who expected a prominent member to appear and not two 'side-kicks' who only joined the group after winning a reality tv-show. The image on the screen changed to a live shot of the USHA's [i]Hall of Heroism's[/i] interior with several of the group's members assembled.

[/B][/COLOR] The live feed abruptly ended as many within the room began tossing garbage at Bandage Boy, lending credence to the rumors that Captain Superior has the ability to manipulate people's emotions. Many of those unaffected by Captain Superior's ability began shouting profanities, while others began to exit from the reception hall. [SIZE="1"][b][COLOR="Silver"]Notice:[/COLOR][/b][COLOR="Silver"] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2613268/](1d6-1d6) -3=-6[/url][/COLOR][/SIZE] Amongst the chaos caused by the announcement, Psiren found herself adjusting her suit's psychic dampeners. She then noticed a stray thought: [i] Omg?!? What are they QUACK QUACK QUACK!![/i] Perplexed, Psiren turned toward the reception hall's entrance-way. At the same time, Xokzatle and Crackshot noticed a commotion breaking out near the room's left and right exit. Together the three noticed that the group of men dressed in duck outfits, now totaling 10, enter the room while armed. 4 of the men are at the main enterance, 3 are at the left exit, and three at the right exit. The men began to fire upon the crowd, and as they assaulted the room, the affects of their weaponry became clear: The super heroes and bystanders who were stuck where immediately transformed into turned into ducks. Mortified, most of those who were spared from the fowl fate immediately sought cover behind a toppled table and those who did not, sought flight... -------------------------------- [b]Combat PAGE 1[/b] The 10 Duck Thugs begin their assault by targeting random by standers and Heroes using their Duck-ification rays. [sblock='OOC'][size=1][color=silver] The "Duck Thugs" are at Extended range (ranged attacks only) from the table. Anyone with Coordination 6+ or FLIGHT/SPEED can enter personal range w/ them (and may attack them unarmed). Everyone else can move into Close Range (and attack using melee weapon or ranged attacks). Actions are considered to occur simultaneously, so do not worry about initiative order. However, if u need to determine who goes when (for strategy), the order is based off CoOrdination so.. Group 1. Badguys (since they began the fight). ..........4 at door. ..........3 at left ..........3 at right (closest bad-guy group) Group 2. ..........Crackshot ..........Psiren ..........Arac-Knight and Xokzatle ..........Prodigy Group 3. NPCS .........Yna .........Everyone else is running, hiding, or diving for cover. If the descriptions of the actions from the OOC posts are too long, [url='http://icons-truth-justice-and-gaming.wikispaces.com/file/view/Icons+Combat+Crib+Sheet.pdf/144013829/Icons%20Combat%20Crib%20Sheet.pdf']here's a crib sheet[/url] that condenses most of that info done to what happens on a success. If you want to roll on invisible castle, this is basically what you would enter: (1d6-1d6) + (Ability or Power + Specialty) +/- Modifier I'll compare your results to the difficulty (badguy's Ability + Specialty) to determine your success.
