Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

[Elric]

Nitro, 1 HP, Bruised/Injured (energy), Fatigued

Uh oh. I think Star may have pulled a Hope.

"Not so fast, dude."

Nitro goes after the armoded guy, regular attack. Improved Grab on a hit.

 

[DM_Matt]

ooc: Is the armoured guy Ares?

Not unless he is actively disguising himself and not using his scythe. This guy is wearing black and camo armor and a mask. He looks like he fits in with the rest of Barrington's guys.

(I'm gunna try to wait for Fangor to post this time out. He hasn't posted in a bit)

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Sorry, been sick.

Wren sees that the whirlwind of gravity is trying to effect the new enemy, as he waits for the opportune moment to take his chance. Sensing that the time is right (hopefully allowing Skylark the benefit of her power working), Wren gathers Star and Raven, and TP's them directly to the TRUST location, immediately calling out, "White! We need some medical attention!"

[sblock=Teleport]Teleport, Rank 6, Accurate [+1], Affects Others [+1], Area [+1], Selective [+1] and of course, I will fail... <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1820200/">Teleporting Star and Raven away, Grapple check at 6 due to TP Rank (1d20 6=11)</a>
[/sblock]

Should his attempt fail, then Wren will immediately blast the armored man instead, making him think twice. Blast +11, Auto Fire +1, Partial Penetrating +4 <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1820201/">Blasting the guy this time... if needed. (1d20 11=17)</a>

New Init Rolls (wow, rather high):
[sblock]
Hope 23
Armored Guy 21
Fangor 21
Skylark 20
Nitro 19
Soldiers 11
Star 6
[/sblock]

Hope solidifies the air in the tunnel, trapping many of the soldiers behind it, and a few others, the armored guy, and the hostages on your side of the wall.

The Armored Guy says "Cute, you think you've won. That wall will come in handy." Medea, Dr. Simian, and Ares teleport in behind you. The Armored Guy suddenly disappears, but Skylark can still sense him with her mass sense. Hope gets hit with a volley of sound waves so focused that no one else even detects them, knocking her down (Stunned, bruised, injured). They come from roughly where the armored guy is.

The ape fires the mighty guns on his hoverchair at Wren, creating a massive blast that nonetheless breaks against his force field. He is unharmed. Ares makes a swipe at Nitro with his scythe, slashing him somewhat-superficially across the chest and blasting him into the wall. (injury, two bruises, stunned, incurable damage).

Skylark summons some small singularities (the power is not selective, btw...this is a problem. It hits everyone. However, most of the party is prone anyway.) The soldiers go flying, and get knocked out when they hit the walls. They drop Raven. Of the main baddies, only Medea is affected, but she gets smashed into a wall and falls down (staggered and stunned!)

Wren is now up. In light of the recent developments, is he still just teleporting Raven and Star away, or everyone?

"Wren, teleport everyone out that you're able!" Hope coughs. "Don't engage them more than you have to,"

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren takes the cue, and TP's the group away from here. He will try to include Raven and Star, using any concept possible. Cosmic Awareness, Notice +13, and utilizing the GPS capability on any TRUST equipment that Star would have to hone in on her location, if he can't see her.

(They are on the same side of the walls as you are, so no problem).

Wren bends space and pushes the group through it, landing at the infirmary. As he said before, he pages White. Red and some random staffers rush over. White teleports into the room and helps out. Everyone is instructed to get themselves checked out. After some scrambling around, Red reports "Good news first. Raven will be fine. She'll wake up in a little while, when the poison wears off. Now the bad news. Star is in bad shape, and White's healing isn't entirely doing it. It might take her a little longer to recover."

White adds. "Gotta say, the whole black energy thing is weird, but I understand how its working. 'Witchcraft' does not exist, per se. There are methods for those with other kinds of powers to repurpose them temporarily. Some have all kind of superstitions about them, but really its just a way of concentrating. It only works with certain powers, though.

Now genetic 'witches,' they start when someone with a power suitable for trapping soul energy puts themselves in a receptacle upon their death. The stuff about them selling their souls is not entirely false. They really are sacrificing their afterlife for power. Some say the whole thing there is evil. Certianly, most religions disapprove. So do I, frankly...I'm not that kind, though Viridian was. All this "white magic" verses "black magic" stuff is their way of feeling they haven't crossed the line into true evil, but its all a bit dark.

Anyway, the object, passed through the generations, collects the souls each time, and uses them to augment their abilities. Viridian's family's object is now loose, as the line has ended, and the souls within are angry...it is taking on a life of its own. We may ultimately have no alternative but to destroy them...but not while they are raging against our enemies. Let evil fight evil for the time being."

"Damn.... Isn't there anyway to undo the spell that binds the soul to the object? Any charm or magic has a counter, we might be able to release them." she said hopefully.

"Did we capture Medea and Stratos?" she then asked.

"Well, we can destroy the object, or maybe find someone who has abilities that work on souls, but the thing is that we don't actually know what happens to them anyway. Once released, we don't actually know where the souls go anyway. Oh, and we have Stratos, but not Medea."
