Curtains#2 - It Came From Below!

Jorgi Vadislav

Concentration.
Jorgi looks scared over the edge of the building and back to the people gathered on the roof with him.
Concentration.
Again his gaze wanders between the two locations and he stares fascinated while he tries to count how deep he could fall from the edge.
Concentrate you idiot, you have to save these folks. You're smart enough to do it, just get yourself together.

"Whynotjustrun?

Because you're a damn fool and just can't leave them here and you know it.

Straightening his shoulders Jorgi draws on the power flowing through him. Sparks fly around him as his body charges up and suddenly a glowing figure lifts itself from the ground.
I was allready scared of this but now comes the really hard part.
With all his will he holds the power in himself, draws back the sparks and tries just let him flow through him to lift him up. He tries to look calm then he floats towards the assembled group.

Fifth floor stairwell...

That's quite the punch you got buddy, what are you doing here anyways?

"Just out for a pleasant evening stroll," he says with a grin.

Granite throws another heavy punch, a blow that causes the Green Fungus to double over for a moment. (Attack roll 14+7=21, hit; dmg save DC27 - fail, injured for 1 stun hit)

"Ooof," he groans. "You hit pretty hard yourself there, rockboy. And just what brings you here?"

The Green Fungus tries to kick Granite down the stairs, but only manages to mangle one of the metal railings. (Attack roll 14, miss)

*****

Tarentula scurries over to the satellite dish, trailing a horde of nipping rats along. In a somewhat un-spiderlike maneuver, he grips the dish with four legs while flexing. He puts all his strength into it, but in spite of the larger spider's form it doesn't budge. (Strength check roll 5+2=7, fail)

"Hey, try this!" one of the grad students tosses toward Tarentula a four foot length of steel rebar that he found in a loose pile of abandoned contruction materials. The student takes another for himself and hands one to a fellow.

"Take the girls first," the guy tells Jorgi, then turns around to watch the rats with the rebar held like a baseball bat.

One of the girls hesitantly steps toward Jorgi. He grins and encourages her to hold on tightly. In spite of his best effort to restrain his power, he still gives the girl a mild shock on contact. She takes one look back at the rats, then risks a second shock to wrap her arms around his shoulders.

Jorgi shuttles the girl to the roof of a building across the street and deposits her gently. Looking back, he can fully appreciate what has happened to the Biological Sciences building. The entirety of it is covered in a thick layer of writhing stalks of fungus, giving it an unhealty and unnaturally organic appearance.

"Thanks," the girl says. "Don't suppose you know just what the heck is really going on?"

He doesn't waste time and heads of back t he the building, hiding his shok about the building.

The spider grabs grabs the pole as it can, and starts to swing it at the rats, trying to put them out of combat. But in his manoeuver, it also put itself between the swarm and the guy, and use one of his back leg wave at the student to stay back.

"This is really weird," she says as she experimentally waves her other hand through a nearby wall. "Do you ever get used to it?"

“Well, miss,” Fate explained, “I hadn’t really thought about it before . . . no, I haven’t gotten used to it. It’s something magnificent and if I got used to it, I think I would be sadder for it. But, enough of that . . . let’s go save the others – I’m counting on you to help reassure the others that this is safe . . . .”

"Sweet geez..." he stammers. "How'd you do that?"

Professor Fate smiled and said, “Sorry, sir, hero trade secret.” And finished with a wink. “Are you ready to get out of here, sir? If so, you need to take my hand, then hold on. I’ll be able to turn you the way I am for as long as you hold on to me. We’ll head to the rooftop to rescue the others, then float to the ground outside. Don’t let go, alright?”

OOC: Yes, use a hero point. Sorry, missed a post.

Oh you know, looking into night courses trying to better myself.

Granite changes tactics, going in for a grapple.

Granite tries to wrap his arms around the Green Fungus' torso, but his foe is quick to slip out of the grip. (Attack roll 7+7=14, miss)

"Good for you," the Green Fungus replies as he pulls back his pulpy fist. "Higher education can open so many doors."

The Green Fungus' right fist pounds Granite into the brick wall and a left hook misses by scant inches, creating a spider web of radiating cracks from the impact. (Multi-attack rolls 21 and 10, hit and miss; Dmg save roll 9 <hero point to re-roll> - re-roll is 14+7=21, injured for 1 stun hit)

*****

Rooftop...

Professor Fate, with two passengers in tow, floats up through the top of the building and finds a small cluster of college students (most holding lengths of rebar) watching a single giant spider. The giant spider, in an unusual display of arachnid physiology, is swinging a bit of rebar at a swarm of fungal sewer rats.

Tarentula harshly abuses a good number of the rats, throwing the swarm into a moment of disarray. (Attack roll 14+7=21, hit; Rats' dmg save/Prot 11 vs DC20, stunned + 1 stun hit)

Jorgi arrives back to the Biological Sciences building just in time to see the arrival of Fate and his passengers.

(ooc - I lost count of students still on the roof...I think there are 2 guys and 2 girls, plus Mai and the janitor that Fate just arrived with. Oh, and Andrew and the Professor...I suppose they're probably armed with rebar as well now.)

 

[Velmont]

Lawrence, finally happy to have found something that can affect the swarm, take advantage of teh confusion and continue to swing at the swarm, hoping to put some of them KO.

Professor Fate tried a smile as he floated through the roof. To Mai and the janitor, Fate said, "Remember, hold on . . . we're not finished yet."

Fate gave his speech again to those still on the landing, letting them know that he could take maybe another 2 on the first trip down to the grounds. He was uncertain just how long he could continue to do this . . . and too many more people would make it more difficult for those holding on.

Man, this guys hits like a tank, those guys better friggen hurry.

Granite pulls himself from the wall. Yea I know, but I have always had a problem playing with others. He tells the plant man as he swings at him.
