Curtains#2 - It Came From Below!

Prof. Fate HP's: 0, Unharmed, Exhausted

Professor Fate stood on shaky legs, and looked around to help. He wasn't going to move very fast, nor were his powers up to par right now, but he hoped he had given his team the best chance to win.

"Just so you're aware . . . I think I'm out of juice over here," Fate commented to Jorgi. Just to be certain Fate incanted a fire blast at a nearby tendril.

"Just so you're aware . . . I think I'm out of juice over here," Fate commented to Jorgi. Just to be certain Fate incanted a fire blast at a nearby tendril.

"Boy,that'sonethingthatcan'thappentome."
A burst of energy proples Jorgi towards the entrance to support Lawrence.
"Let'scollapsethetunnel."
He fires a shot at the ceiling to see how much damage he can do.
"HEY! Stonehead! Quit playing around, we need your help here. Just throw Captain Fungus into the juice."
 

Lawrence crumbles back into his swarm form and moves to block the front line of zombies. He nips and bites at the closest, but does little more than distract and slow it down. (Attack roll 3+7=10, miss)

Jorgi flies into the hallway, hovering just above Tarentula. He unleashes a powerful bolt of lightning at the ceiling, causing a few bricks to dislodge and fall among the approaching zombies. It doesn't look too likely that he has the juice to create a whole-sale collapse that he was hoping for...or at least not quickly enough. (Concrete ceiling dmg save roll 21 vs DC22, damaged condition)

Fate, now alone in the chamber overlooking the brawl between Granite and the fungal man, stands and hurls a blast of fire at the nearest tendril. Its becomes blackened and bits of charred tissue flake off, but it seems otherwise unaffected. Luckily, the tendrils no longer seem intent upon swiping at Fate. (Attack roll 13+8=21, hit; dmg save 19 vs DC23, damaged)

Granite does his best to ignore the sting of the head butt and continues to drag the fungal man toward the pile of sodium hydroxide. The two are just beginning to reach the outer edge of the cloud that the alligator stirred up. The fungal man's thick, fibrous skin starts to blister in spots almost immediately. (Opposed grapple check 15+3+12=30 vs 24, success; dragged half move)

The fungal man grits his teeth. The cloud of sodium hydroxide is obviously starting to cause him great pain. He thrashes and twists, frantically trying to break from Granite's grasp. Finally, he manages to slip out of the hold for just a split second. In that moment, a dozen of the large tendrils in the room wrap themselves around the fungal man, effectively sealing him in a tight cocoon. (Opposed grapple check 21 vs 12+3+12=27, fail. Villain point to reroll. New grapple check 30 vs 27, success; escape from grapple.)

In the hallway, the three lead zombies start swinging wildly at Tarentula. They are simply too slow and clumsy to have much chance at connecting with the nimble and ever-shifting swarm. None are within reach of Jorgi yet.

Har har, really funny kid. How about I be the cheerleader and you take the headbutts? Granite replies sarcastically as he pushes the fungal man closer to the sodium hydroxide.

Hey... what the hell? He mutters to himself as the fungal man cocoons himself. Oh, no we aren't finish yet. He yells bringing his fist back to deliever a devistating puch. (power attack +5)
 


Tarentula bite again, trying to hurt the closest zombie before it reform back into Lawrence.

"Jorgi, we need to defeat the source first, I'll take care of the zombies..."

OOC: Sorry, miss that last post
 

Prof. Fate HP's: 0, Unharmed, Exhausted

Seeing the cocoon form up, Fate prepared to blast one of the tendrils with fire. Concerned about the thing transporting the guy away, Fate looked for anything that might do that and blasted it instead. Otherwise, he worked toward breaking the cocoon.

OOC: I missed it too. Half action: search, spot. Half Action: Blast and alert others if he finds something.
 

Tarentula again attacks the closest of the fungal zombies, scoring a hit and injecting his venom. It seems as though it might have some effect, though the zombie remains standing. (Attack roll 13+7=20, hit; partial drain)

Jorgi also turns his focus on the approaching mob, his electric halo glowing brightly. He unloads another lightning bolt, this time into the chest of the nearest zombie. The blast caves in part of its chest and causes it to stagger backward...yet doesn't quite seem to kill it. (Attack roll 14+10=24, hit; dmg save 15 vs DC22, fail, stunned)

The "cocoon" of tendrils forming around the fungal man are coming from both above and below. Fate unloads a jet of flame at the tendrils coming in from above, searing and charring several of them. (Attack roll 7+8=15, hit; damaged)

Granite leaps into the fray of tendrils and unloads with an incredible punch - clear through the tendrils and solidly connecting with the fungal man inside. Granite feels his fist crush through the pulpy hide of his target. The cocoon of tendrils falls away, all the tendrils in the room simultaneously de-animating. As they fall back, the fungal man (with half his chest collapsed) falls unconscious to the floor. (Attack roll 20+7-5=22, crit; dmg save vs DC37, fail, villain pt to reroll...still failed - unconscious)

Out in the hallway, the fungal zombies appear to be in a bit of a daze. They break off their attack and just look around blankly.

Fate looked around the room, surprised that the chaos had died down for a few moments. Concentrating on the fungal man, Fate spoke the words that triggered his Telepathy ability. He was taking a guess and wasn't certainit would even work. He tried to reach into the man's subconscious, hoping to communicate with the scientist inside - if he was even there.

'Are you in there, doctor?' Fate asked telepathically. He searched through thoughts and memories, looking for a clue . . . some way to end this threat . . . too many people were in danger.
 

Just as he finish to speak to Jorgi, Lawrence looks back at the horde of Zombie qnd is surprise to see them standing still.

"What did you do?" he asks to Jorgi. He push one to see fi he will fall or will try to maintain his balance.

"Sorry guys, but you are still zombies, and if you start to move again..." With that, Lawrence starts to look around to see if there is nothing that could be use as a weapon and will use it to start to knock off the zombies.
