Professor Fate, deeming Pestilence the greater threat based on his actions against the innocents, heads toward the lightning storm in the middle of the room. He hurls a lightning bolt of his own across the room, striking Pestilence full on in the back. He is staggered from the blow. (Attack roll 8+8=16, hit; dmg save 19-3=16 vs DC23 [stun hit #4, stunned])
Jorgi, spurning Pestilence's threat, continues to unload lightning bolts. The staggered Pestilence takes the full brunt of it and collapses to his knees, shaking and wheezing violently. (Attack roll 7+10+2=19, hit; dmg save 15-4=11...villain point reroll 16-4=12 vs DC22, [stun hit #5, stunned])
Pestilence is unable to function effectively at the moment.
Granite drops his fist on the metal mass binding him to the floor. Like a sledgehammer to an ice cube, it shatters in brilliant shrapnel. (Dmg save 9 vs DC 32...ouch) He steps up to the swordsman and plants a fist in his side. Rock on metal, the clang of contact shakes the room. The swordsman's armor takes the brunt of the blow, but it's power still shocks through his system. (Attack roll 19+7+1-5=22, hit; dmg save 25 vs DC32-protection [stun hit #1]) The swirling cloud of razors, meanwhile, chip harmlessly away at Granite's stony hide.
The unarmed man again turns his attention to the most apparent threat - Granite. Another wave of green light pulses out from his hand and the floor underneath Granite cracks and gives way. Granite, having over-extended himself on the punch, is off-balance and unable to leap clear. He falls through the floor and unceremoniously crushes a massuess' table in the empty office some fifteen feet below. (Reflex save 11+3=14, fail)
The unarmed man scarcely has time to smile at his victory when Tarentula reverts to his swarm form and overruns him. With only a breast plate for armor, the spiders have little trouble finding easy flesh to bite. He gasps as the poison courses through his system and he finds himself scarcely capable of supporting his own weight. (Attack roll 10+7=17, hit; Fort save 12 vs DC18 [drain 8 Str])
The swordsman watches as Granite falls through the floor in front of him. He turns to chew out the unarmed man, only to find him covered in spiders. The swordsman moves over to Tarentula and again tries to swipe away at the swarm with his sword. The spiders weave hypnotically clear of his blade. (Attack roll 23, miss)
The centipede woman, like the swordsman, watches as Granite falls through the floor. She turns her attention back to Professor Fate and sees that he has joined the lightning-flinger. She sprints across the floor and uses a table to launch herself at the flying hero. She is surprised when the table tips under her and causes her to tumble awkwardly under the Professor. (Attack roll - nat 1, fail)
