Prof. Fate Unharmed, Fatigued HP's: 0

Fate continued to concentrate . . . use his will to protect the others . . . regardless of the cost. Must save . . . others . . .

Fate briefly wondered if he could target the man and exclude the fungus, perhaps even saving the doctor as well . . .

OOC: continue on spell. For targets, if he can target the man and exclude the fungus, he will. Thanks for allowing this, I read something on the M&M site about pressing a power and thought it might work.
 

That's hurt

The swarm scatter under the effect of the basis to gather away from it, and then, the swarm rush back to the door, escaping before the remaining basis starts to be spread in the room...
 

Tarentula scurries away from the pile of sodium hydroxide as the alligator continues its agonized thrashing. The cloud of dust kicked up is expanding, but it is not difficult for Tarentula to get clear of it and pull back toward the door.

Jorgi continues to blast at nearby tendrils, this time severing one clean in half. The closer end drops twitching on the floor while the other "attached" end continues to swing. It is no longer long enough to pose a threat to either Jorgi or Fate, however. (Attack roll 13+10=23, hit; Dmg save vs DC22, fail, disabled)

Fate concludes the casting of his spell and feels the power encompass his companions. His body starts shaking with exhaustion from the effort and he's unsure whether he could safely use his powers again. Even maintaining his flight is tenuous at best. (Exhausted: -6 Str and Dex, move cut in half.)

Granite launches himself across the room to where his last punch sent the fungal man. Using the force of his leap, he lands another solid punch square into his chest, further driving him into the large sewer pipe. (Attack roll 15+7-5=17, hit; Dmg save vs DC32, fail, 1 hit)

"In the battle between plant and stone, plant always wins out in the end," the fungal man says as he pulls himself out of the indention in the sewer line. "Usually, it's a slow process, but perhaps evolution can help speed things up." He punches Granite hard in the chest, but Granite saw it coming and twisted just enough to mitigate the worst of the blow. (Attack roll 19, hit; Dmg save + Protection roll 18+7 (+8), no effect)

At the sound of the alligator's roars, Granite risks a quick look in that direction. He finally notices the mound of whitish powder, the alligator thrashing around in it, and the cloud it's beginning to kick up.

The alligator is more or less out of the action for the moment.
 

Once on the other side of the door, the swarm will change back into Lawrence.

"Granite, get out of there, Fate will handle him."
 

Prof. Fate Unharmed, Exhausted HP's: 0

'I gotta think about going back to my day job . . . ' Fate thought as he was overcome with exhaustion. "I've protected you as best I can from what I created in that pile over there . . . . should help against . . . the fungus."

Fate landed on the ground unsteadily, solidifying . . . and falling to his knees.

Once on the other side of the door, the swarm will change back into Lawrence. "Granite, get out of there, Fate will handle him."

"Huh?" Fate asked, shaking slightly.
 

Granite health: fine hp: 1 remaining

"Yea, yea. Tell me how much you love me later." Spotting the thrashing alligator Granite switches tactics going in to grapple the fungus man.

ooc: the plan is of course to grapple and then drag him over to hte pile of white powder.

Lawrence returns to his human form, standing near the door on the platform overlooking the pumping station's main room. Fate lands and solidifies beside him, falling weakly to his knees and...expresses confusion at Lawrence's comment.

Jorgi drifts back slowly, so that he is floating just in front of the other two in the air before the platform. He uses his charged halo to help keep the tendrils at bay, occasionally blasting away the closer ones.

Granite moves inside the fungal man's reach, wrapping his arms securely around him. He is able to partially lift and drag him partway across the room. (Grapple attack roll 10+7=17, hit; opposed grapple check 8+3+12=23 vs 20, success, dragged half move)

The fungal man looks less than pleased about being dragged across the room. Rather than escape, however, he delivers a nasty head-butt to Granite. (Opposed grapple check 26 vs 4+3+12=19, success; Granite's dmg save + protection 13+7 (+8), 1 hit dmg)

While the fungal man becomes more focused on Granite, the thick tendrils throughout the room seem to lose their ability to make accurate attacks on the others. Rather, they just sway about randomly. The alligator continues to thrash in the pile of sodium hydroxide, though it seems to be weakening by the moment.

Lawrence is the first to hear it, but soon Fate and Jorgi also notice the noise. Footsteps, lots of them, approaching from the hallway outside the pumping station. Lawrence pokes his head out the door and finds at least two dozen of the fungal zombies lurching toward the pumping station...and there appear to be still more climbing down the man hole from street level.
 

"Compagnie, lot of them, and they doesn't seems happy... well, they just seems ugly. I'll try to slow them, we must stop the head of that fungal things first..."

On that, Lawrence will turn back into a swarm of spider and try to hit the first coming zombie, moving foward and try to stop the crowd a bit.
 

Granite HP 1 remaining status 1 hit

"Gah... Son of a... your going to pay for that." Granite mutters as he continues to push the fungal man towards the pile of sodium hydroxide.
