Granite unharmed hp:4

Thomas looks at the centpede woman and then to his shoulder.

That's it? Man that's pathetic, I thought we were here to fight not cuddle.

He will take another swing at her. (re-roll anything less then a 13)

ooc: Attempting to taunt +1 (loss dex bonus) (half action), Attack (half action) <if taunt is successfull as is the strike -suprise strike feat should be included in damage>

Professor Fate returns to corporeal form as he flies at the centipede woman. He reaches out to lay a hand on her, but she sees him coming and easily avoids contact. (Attack roll 6+4=10, miss) At close range, Prof begins to appreciate just how fast she really can move.

Jorgi, performing his impersonation of a human Van de Graaff generator, unloads another bolt of lightning down upon Pestilence. Again, Pestilence is hit and further debilitated. (Attack roll 10+10=20, hit; dmg save 23-2<hits>=21 vs 22 [stun hit #3])

Pestilence rolls to his feet and waves his hand in the direction of the convention-goers. Immediately, dozens of people cry out in pain as they his power sweeps over them. Several collapse to the floor. He turns back to Jorgi with a hint of a grin under the rags. "Only I can cure them, lightning bug. Same goes for you. Still wanna zap me, and have their deaths on your conscience for the short time you have left before the disease claims you?"

Granite tries to taunt the centipede into making a reckless mistake, but she isn't buying it. (Taunt roll 2+1=3 vs sense motive 7, fail) He takes a swing at her anyway. Again, she moves faster than he can throw his fist. (Attack roll 12+8...reroll 15+8=23, miss)

The unarmed man conjures forth a sphere of liquid metal and directs it to fly at Granite's feet. The globule connects and splatters, hardening in a fraction of a second and binding his feet to the floor. (Snare attack roll 23, hit; reflex save roll 11+3=14, fail)

Tarentula's spiders coalesce back into his human form. He pulls a pistol from his belt and fires at the swordsman. The bullet tinks off his armor harmlessly. (Attack roll 10+7=17, hit; damage save auto success from protection)

The swordsman continues his relentless and seemingly futile effort to strike Tarentula/Lawrence with his sword. In spite of having only one target rather than a swarm, he still misses wide. (Attack roll 10, miss)

The centipede woman smiles through her mandibles at the sight of Granite becoming bound. She spins around and snaps ferociously at Professor Fate. She is surprised to find that he also has very quick reflexes. Her attack goes wide. (Attack roll 17, miss)

Initiative:
Prof Fate 22

(ooc - small edit to the last two posts regarding Tarentula. The damage sustained from the spinning razors was not subject to Evasion. It was, however, knocked back from hit/stun to just a hit because of the 2 levels of Protection offered by his alternate form. Instead of spending the next turn stunned, I've gone back and completed his subsequent turn as directed.

Like I said in the ooc thread, it's tough to remember and catch all the minutae of the characters and their powers. Hopefully familiarity will come with time.)

At Pestilence's threat Jorgi just glows birghter. By now there is just one sprkling whip of electricity between him and the mutant, no one can even see the delay between bolts anymore.
During his contact with russian mafia Jorgi learned one thing and that is if you give in to such threats it just means that you and the hostages will both die.

Sorrymate.I'mnohero.You'llgetthatplagueofmeorI'llfryyoualive.

He is quite affraid of the guy but as long as he is still flying and launching lightning bolts it feels allright.

actions: attack (+10 to hot/+7 damage). Will use a hero point if the attack total is below 15.

Prof. Fate Unharmed, HP's: 4

Fate was appalled at what Pestilence did to the crowd. Professor Fate looked at the distance he was from the crowd and realized that he was too far away to try and heal them . . . if he could heal then Pestilence’s claim would be false. But also had to help the two boys would had come in here to help.

Professor Fate flew toward Pestilence, and attacked with an energy blast (electrical seemed to be appropriate). ’If I at least knock him out, he won’t affect any others,’ Professor Fate thought.

OOC: Maintain Immunities, Maintain Flight, Move (Flight 40’), Energy Blast on Pestilence (Ranged +8, HP re-roll attack of 15 or less). If out of range of Pestilence, blast unarmed man.

"OK... I have another idea."

Lawrence move nearer of the unarmed man.

"Leave big boy alone."

Lawrence switch back to his swarm form and try to bit the unarmed man.

"Ok, that's annoying."
Thomas swings his fist down slamming it into the hardened metal attempting to shatter it and free himself from it.

If he succeeds he will move up to the swordman. "Come on, lets see what you can do with that pig sticker." Thomas will use an extra effort to take a swing at him, (HP to ignore fatigue)

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)

HP:4, Stun: 0, Lethal: 1

Seeing his opponent start to have some difficulty to carry his armor, the swarm continue to climb on the unarmed man to find another hole in his armor to bit him. The swarm move around the guy too, to get far from the swordman.

OOC: Drain (Half), Move (Half). I move to be at least 10 ft away from the swordman, but at least 10ft from the unarmed.

Attack: +7
Drain: Fortitude DC:18
Effect: -8 STR, second save 1 minute later
Dodge against the swordman only.
HP: I rr any damage save under 10 and Will save under 15.
