Curtains #1 - A Crossing of Paths

Jorgi, surrounded by his brilliant electric corona, floats toward the ceiling. With it near twenty feet up, he has plenty of room to maneuver. He unleashes another bolt of lightning, this time directly at Pestilence. The rag clad one is ready this time, however, and rolls clear of the blast. (Attack roll 2+10=12, miss)

"You picked the wrong time to play hero," Pestilence snarls as he raises his hand threateningly at Jorgi. There is no blast, but Jorgi clearly feels something happening to his body. A sensation of being deathly ill befalls him - worse than food poisoning combined with delirious fever. It is all he can manage to stay airborne. (Attack roll 21, hit; Will save 14+2=16, fail; Drained of 7 Constitution)

The centipede woman holds, watching Pestilence deal with the nuisance while unsure how she could help against a flying foe. The unarmed man tries to shake off his stunned state from Jorgi's electrical discharge.

Back in the kitchen, Granite pauses to assure the kitchen staff that they're aren't part of the problem, and then turns his attention to the metal sealed door. He plants a solid stone fist into the door and the metal squeals and snaps under the force. (Door's damage save 22 vs DC 27+presumed power attack, fail) It doesn't come completely off, but is bent back far enough to allow a person to easily fit through.

Tarentula skitters through the opening with his incredible speed. He briefly notes the electrical display going on halfway across the room, but another guy wearing heavy armor and carrying a sword is much closer. The swordsman is just turning at the sound of the crushed door when the swarm of spiders appears to over take him...climbing up the armor for his exposed neck and mouth. He brushes most of them aside, however, and Tarentula is unable to land a bite. (Attack roll 6+7=13, miss)

Hundreds of tiny slivers of metal break off from the swordsman's armor. A cloud of razor blades, they whirl about him in a tinkling dance of death. He brings his sword down in an overhead chop. The spiders of Tarentula's body part just as the sword hits the floor, leaving him to curse in annoyance. (Attack roll 24, miss)

The centipede woman comes running across the room, quickly closing the distance to Tarentula and Granite. The unarmed man, still stunned for the moment, does little but watch and glance over his shoulder at the scattering convention-goers.

Initiatives:
Prof. Fate 22
Jorgi 19
Pestilence 18
Unarmed 11
Granite 10
Tarentula 9.5
Swordsman 9
Centipede 8


(ooc - Let's assume that Tarentula, Granite, and the three thugs are all within thirty feet of the kitchen door. Pestilence and Jorgi are about eighty feet from the kitchen door. Prof Fate is about fourty feet down the hall and through kitchen from the action.)

Fighting hard to concentrate and stay in the air Jorgi lashes out at Pestilence yet again.

"YouknowIjustplannedtodomyjobandgettoknowmoreaboutanicegirl.
Butyouneverknowthenthenexttpsychopathicidiottoruinsyourday."


He brielfy notices the trouble at the door but concentrates on his main target.

actions: another attack (+10 to hit/+7 damage).
 

Professor Fate, unharmed HP’s: 4

Professor Fate flew through the stairs and into the kitchen, remaining Intangible (to avoid harming anyone as he passed). He hadn’t seen the kids on his flight up to the convention again. ’Kids’, Steven sighed. ’Impetuous to be certain . . . probably trying to save the world – and I’m going to help them do it.’

’Hope Maggie is alright . . . but I’ve got to concentrate on the issue at had,’ Steven thought. ’A distraction could be fatal . . and not just to me.

OOC: Double Move (Flight 40’ Base) into Convention area – through walls where necessary.
 

Granite unharmed hp:4

Ugh, that's pretty creepy. Thomas thinks to himself as he watches his new associate move through the doorway and attack the guy with the sword.

He will move into the room and attempt to grapple the Centipede women.

"Man, I thought I was ugly but get a load of you." He tells her as she comes forward. <ooc attempting to taunt +1, -4 to her attack if sucessfull (although not 100% sure, don't have my book in of me)>
 

4 HP, 0 Stun, 0 Lethal, Condition: Good

The main mass of the swarm pull back, staying at 10 feets of the swordman. The spiders that remain on the swordman try to bit him again.

OOC:
Elasticity give 10 feet reach
Dodge against the swordman only, giving defnece of 28 against him.
Attack +7
Fortitude: DC:18 or -8 Str, another save in 1 minute
HP: I rr any damage save under 10 and Will save under 15.

(ooc - I made a slight edit to my previous post. I had forgotten that the Unarmed man was stunned. He didn't do anything last round, but he also wouldn't have had the opportunity to hold action. Fixed up the initiative order, basically.

Also, thanks for posting a summary of your characters' status in the title bar. That will help me immensely. As you can see, I've already had trouble just keeping track of the bad guys. ;)

Will post next round later tonight or tomorrow morning. Gotta get ready for work right now.)

Professor Fate, in his insubstantial form, zips down the hallway. He passes through a couple walls and into the ballroom right behind the muscular guy he spoke with in the stairwell a minute or so ago. He notes that the man's flesh now has a stony appearance to it. The Professor arrives right in the midst of most of the action. Much to his relief, he sees that most of the attendees have fled the immediate area of the battle.

Jorgi unleashes another bolt of lightning at Pestilence. The bolt takes him in the side, scorching but not seriously impairing him. (Attack roll 15+10=25, hit; dmg save 20 vs 22 [stun hit])

In spite of the rags covering his face, Jorgi gets the impression that Pestilence is scowling bitterly at him. Again, Pestilence waves his arm in Jorgi's direction and another wave of sickness strikes him. This time, howver, Jorgi's body is able to fight against it. (Attack roll 24, hit; Will save 18+2=20, success)

The unarmed man finally shakes off the shock of Jorgi's opening attack. He looks at the arrival of Professor Fate, but for the moment holds.

Granite moves to intercept the centipede woman and she seems only too willing to take him on. He tries to wrap his arms around her torso but finds only air where she was a moment earlier. (Attack roll 4+8=12, miss; ooc - taunting takes a half action, which is more than can be accomodated in this round...figured you'd prefer to start the attack first.)

The unarmed man grins slightly under the visor of his helm when he sees Granite come into the room. He points at the floor beneath Granite and a wave of hazy green light springs forth. The floor immediately begins to crumble and collapse beneath Granite. He realizes what is happening quickly enough to jump clear before a sizable chunk of the floor disappears into the massuess' office below. (Reflex save 19+3=22, success)

The bulk of Tarentula's spider swarm pulls back from the swordsman. Again, the closest spiders fail to find a chink in the armor. In the effort, the spiders on his armor are chopped apart by the whirling cloud of razor sharp metal bits. The pain is ripples through his multiple parts. (Damage save 12+2=14, fail [1 lethal hit])

The swordsman takes advantage of Tarentula's pain to press his attack with his oversized sword. The writhing of the swarm throws his aim and he misses again. (Attack roll 11, miss)

Just as Granite is catching his balance from evading the crumbling floor, the centipede woman is upon him. Her mandibles snap in and clamp down on his shoulder. They are completely unable to penetrate his stony hide and she is forced to release her grip. (Attack roll 19, hit; damage save auto success from Protection)

Initiative:
Prof Fate 22
Jorgi 19
Pestilence 18
Granite 10
Unarmed 9.8
Tarentula 9.5
Swordsman 9
Centipede 8

HP:3, Lethal:1, Stun:0, Condition: OK

OOC: I suppose the Evasion wasn't applying on my dmg save...

The mass of spider gather back and reform as Lawrence who shake up a bit and see some blood on his hand.

"Damn! You won't have it that easily."

He draw a gun and shoot at him.

OOC:
Dodge against the swordman only, giving defnece of 28 against him.
Attack +7
Fortitude: DC:15 + Gun power
HP: I rr any damage save under 10 and Will save under 15.
 

Prof. Fate Unharmed, HP's: 3

Professor Fate quickly reviewed the battlefield. ’Everyone looks one on one except for those two attacking the stone man, Steven thought. ’It’s difficult to determine who is in trouble. There are more of them than us, time to try and even the tally.’

Professor Fate concentrated a moment, then flew to the Centipede trying to touch her, If he did, he willed the Centipede to become weak, unable to move, and exhausted. He only hoped that it worked.

OOC: Free action maintain Flight, Drop Incorporeal, Move to Centipede, Touch Attack (If hit use extra effort and a hero point to negate the fatigue - Drain all physical attributes DC 18 Will Save)
