[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 3229561, member: 118"] Soundtrack's scream of instructions can clearly be heard by everyone, probably including the pedestrians at street level some forty stories below. Owl, however, is able to twist out of the focal path of the sonic energy. Soundtrack's blast sends some shards of broken glass out the window, but little more. [color=magenta](Attack roll 3+8=11, miss)[/color] Granite puts his full body mass behind a punch that passes cleanly through Raven, trailing a fine black mist as it comes out the other side of his chest. Granite nearly loses his balance from the unexpected lack of physical resistance. The guy appears to have no more physical presence than smoke. [color=magenta](Attack roll 14+7=21, hit; no damage)[/color] Schott is unconscious and his men have completely cleared the scene now. Kombat grabs Boar and brings his knee up into the man's masked face. The mask is incredibly hard, leaving Kombat's knee bruised and the mask intact. The grunt from the man behind the mask, however, suggests that a fair bit of force was transferred through to his face. [color=magenta](Attack roll 16+9+2=27, hit; DC22 Tough save, failed, bruised)[/color] Boar, with an impressive display of strength, pulls his head free from Kombat's grasp and snaps it up along Kombat's front side. Kombat simultaneously pushes back a foot, his instincts just barely saving him from being disembowelled by the pair of long, razor-sharp tusks that have sprouted from Boar's mask. [color=magenta](Attack roll 17, miss)[/color] Owl, having just evaded Soundtrack's attack, rolls to a crouching position. Owl tilts his head down ever so slightly while still facing Soundtrack. A slight change in Soundtrack's soundtrack tips him off to what comes next. Owl unleashes a screech of focused sound at the floor beneath Soundtrack, causing tile, wood, and masonry to crumble and fall away to the next level below.

"Do your thing, little birdie," he says, looking over his shoulder toward Raven. ***** [color=magenta] Tarentula is up next. Kombat has 3 rounds remaining on Boost.
