"What are you gonna do, beat us to death with your squeaky toy?" X12 blurts out with a snide smile as he pops up from behind his cover, still making his way into the fray, but does hesitate a bit as looks to his injured comrade.

"How bad are you injured?" X12 calls out to Straightjacket as he slows his approach on Split.

[/i]

OOC: I'll spend the point for the quick recovery.
"I'm alright, he just rattled me" responds Straightjacket as he tries to envelop the duplicate near him.
"Now this weasel next to me isn't going to be so well off. Come on now, time for a hug."

ROUND 3

Bank Fight
Gotta go in real initiative order now, since you are getting quite close together.

Restaurant Fight
Jackal steps out of the dust and debris, looking back and forth briefly at both the female version of Split and the one that groaned. He lets out a howl and charges right at the woman. Claws extended, he slashes her from hip to shoulder, sparks flying off her armor, along with a significant amount of blood. She soars backwards through the swinging door and a loud CRASH is heard from the kitchen.

Jackal charges and hits with a 25 (he was using a re-roll if he rolled less than a 15). Split fails her damage save (20) and flies backwards into the kitchen, stunned.

The sword-wielding Split turns around again, delivering a hard overhand chop at Stealer. The sword draws a line across his chest, ruining his shirt but he instinctively turns and leans back just far enough to avoid getting cleaved in two.

Split hits with a 20. Stealer gets a 17 (13+6-2L) against the sword and a 19 (15+6-2L) against the energy field, taking a slash but avoiding any serious energy burns.

A frying pan sails out of the kitchen and hits Jackal in the snout. The female Split suddenly front flips through the swinging door, hands and feet encompassed in an orange glow, launches a brutal kick into Jackal. Jackal staggers backwards from the blow and drops to a knee stunned, catching a follow up attack from Split, who leans down and sends him flying out of the restaurant through the same hole he made, with an uppercut. He ends up on his back in the middle of the hall.

Split(?) uses a villain point to immediately unstun. She taunts Jackal by hitting him in the nose with the frying pan. She then hits him with a kick with strike, and Jackal fails his save with a 16, becoming stunned. She uses takedown attack and delivers a second shot to Jackal. Jackal fails his save with an 23, and being already stunned, soars backwards into the hall. Jackal spends a hero point to immediately unstun.

"Punk," she growls, then drops down and foot-sweeps Mia Toan.

Heroic surge. Hit and knocks down Mia.

Split turns on Stealer and starts shooting with a paniced look in his eyes, his glasses glowing red making it obvious he sees Stealer. He flicks a switch on his gun and advances on Stealer like he did on Murphy, firing off six shots. Lasers blast out with, a few flying by Stealer and the rest blasting into him.

Split autofires, heroic surge, autofires. 18, 12, 16, 14, 24, 13. Saves are 20, 15, 19, 20. Reroll spent on the 15 (11 roll) and ends up with another 11 roll (15). Stealer manages to turn just enough to let one go under an arm and one go just by his chest, but the other two rip through his shoulder and leg. He takes 2L.

Mr. Murphy stirs and opens his eyes. "Get her out of here, Murphy!" Mia shouts at him. He jump2 to his feet and grabs the woman he was protecting. She screams as he throws her over his shoulder and heads through the kitchen.

Murphy spends a villain point to make a check to become conscious. He succeeds.

Theatre Fight
The angry former-squeeky-toy-wielding Split shreiks in rage and charges the taunting X12. "I'm gonna tear out your heart and eat it, maggot!" he yells as he charges. X12 notices something gold on his hands moments before he's hit.

With the spiked brass knuckles.

Split charges wildly (treated as flat-footed). I didn't even roll the taunt check; it succeeded. He also smokes you with a natural 20, giving him 31 on the attack. It's a crit, which would add five to your dc if you weren't immune. You get a 19 on the save and take a lethal hit.

The other Split does not appear.

X12 fights back against his angry opponent. He punches Split in the head, which only seems to enrage the man further. He's actually frothing at the mouth.

X12 hits with a 20. Split makes his save with a 20. Grr.

Straighjacket manages to limp onward, but doesn't see the other split anywhere. He must have moved off.

Once I update the map, in a little while, you can take a guess at what square he's in and attack there with a grapple. Probably an hour or so.

With the nearest group of punks in full flight or messily unconscious, Vince looks towards the bank guards to make sure they are ok. Seeing they have a firm grasp of the situation, Vince just nods towards them (hopefully in what is taken as a friendly gesture).

With all the people rushing around and screaming it is probably quite difficult to tell where the actual remaining trouble is. Vince will fly up a few feet and use his 360 degree vision to survey the situation before rushing off to help. Seeing no immediate threat, Speed Demon runs off towards the sounds of gunfire near the restaurant.

Superspeed continues, travel towards the restaurant fight while holding my attack to hit a threatening target (Like maybe a certain self duplicating pain the butt we met on the train)

After taking a quick glance around, Raisa notices Vincent running off down another section of the mall and Michelle going after the two running thugs. She looks to Carl. "Hey, why don't you see what's the sinch up there? I'll make sure everyone's okay here before I come knock a few heads together."

OOC: Raisa will check on the bystanders in the immediate area and those possibly hurt by Michelles little explosion.

Abandoning his illusion, Randall will rush to help any injured as best he can. He will try to help any injured innocents first, and then he will help the injured gang members.

Not having any idea where the guy went Joh will extend his arms out to the max length 15' and flail around in a circle hoping to hit the target if in that proximity.
"Guys, I seem to have lost one of them. Umm, maybe he's invisible or something. Sanjay, can you make do something to the floor to show where he is?"

Bank Fight
Vincent tears around the corner towards the sound of gunfire, giving a nod to the police officers, probably hoping it is taken positively. He comes around the corner and punches at fleeing thug as he goes by. The thug stumbles from the blow, but rolls with it and comes up holding a knife.

Vince hits with a 15. The thug gets a 19 damage save and takes a stun hit.

Loki drops his illusion and runs around trying to tend the wounded. There are probably 40 some odd injured people around, many stunned from gunfire, some from trampling. Having no medical training at all, he is completely unable to help any of them.

Michelle flies forward but can't see the fleeing thugs, instead shooting at the one by the police officer. The blast goes over both of their heads, destroying the window behind them.

Michelle gets a 14 on her attack, but suffers a -4 attack penalty to range and misses, blowing the glass out of the window behind the combatants with her blast.

Raisa looks into the business' whose windows are destroyed, seeing around eight customers and employees in various injured states, suffering from burns and cuts. The thug in the one business is gone. Also having no medical training whatsoever, she is completely unable to do anything but stare.

Tara flies out around the corner in pursuit of the thugs, landing in front of them, blocking their way.

The cop holding the gun, turns her (obviously a her, the armor has b3wbs) gun sideways and shoots the thug in the head. Blood sprays backwards as a lethal round shatters his skull. The police officer manages to keep hold of the thugs sword and moves towards the restaurant, drawing a bead on the two other thugs.

The police officer turns to lethal rounds for some reason and hits the thug with a natural 20. The thug gets a 3 on his damage save and is graphically killed.

"More comin' down the hall!" shouts another officer. "Mutants! You two get to the restaurant, and put those four goons down," he says pointing at the two fleeing thugs area. "I'll handle these thugs." One officer runs towards the restaurant, firing an energy blast at the group of four.

The energy blast strikes the thug in the back (18) and radiates a stun field outwards 30 feet. Reflex saves for half rank effect for Dara (17 success), Speed Demon 26 (success), Thug2 (12 failure). Fortitude saves, with re-rolls for everyone on 10 or less (I assume, since nothing was stated): Thug 1 5, rerolled 5 becomes 11 (fail); Tara 16 (success); Vincent 8, rerolled becomes 17 (success); Thug 2 20 (success). Each stunned person gets another save at +1 next round to become non-stunned.

For the record, the friendly nod, followed by bug girl, were not interpreted as friendly (what with your massive 1 diplomacy check) but instead were threatening.

The other officer lines up Michelle in his sights and fires. The beam strikes her force field and passes through, hitting her and encompassing her in a yellow glow briefly before her force field winks out and she plumets to the ground, ten feet below.

Officer hits with a 24. It's a stun power weapon, ignoring your protection offered by your force field. Michelle gets a 19 save and succeed

Carl shrugs, slipping his bat into his suit jacket. It amazingly leaves no tell-tale sign of being there. He then moves quickly towards the bank. He growls and charges the cop after seeing the blast shoot Michelle, but can't reach him this round.

Dara runs up and stands, mouth agape at the fact that Vincent once again managed to turn the good guys against them.

That was a joke, btw. She actually double moved and then stood there shocked.

The last thug, having been unaffected by the blast, runs down a nearby hallway, stabbing vince with a knife on the way. Despite being woozy, Vincent feels his ribs itch as the thug slashes at him.

Thug misses with an 18.

A man runs out of the bank, wearing a suit and yelling at the cops, "Forget these mutants! You're supposed to be saving my wife!" He is pointing at the nearby restaurant. "I'm paying you to save her, not blow up the damned mall!"

Restaurant Fight
Johan's double moves towards split and tries to grab a pin from a grenade. Split, despite being focussed on killing Stealer, manages to turn away from him.

Attack roll of 16 misses.

Johan himself looks around for a weapon and finds a knife to carve a cooked ham on the buffet.

Full round search action succeeds.

Cosmo leaps forward, kicking split in the side. The sword wielding Split staggers and collapses, vanishing.

Cosmo hits with a 22. Split fails his save with a 15, taking a hit and getting killed. Durn minion rules.

Mia Toan flips over the female Split landing in front of the door, blocking her from chasing Murphy and the woman, going on the defensive.

Mia moves and fights defensively, blocking the door.

Kevin concentrates, splitting into two. He becomes visible as he does so. The second Kevin is dressed in exactly the same way, but is wielding a massive tank-buster cannon. Badly (and I mean VERY BADLY) hurt, Kevin steps back behind his double.

"Wimp!" says the cannon-toting Kevin in a New York accent. "Better be careful or I'll be fryin' you with this!"

Kevin feels like he has nearly no control over the duplicate.

Theatre Fight
X12 punches back at Split, missing wildly as the manical double dances around screaming obscenities at him.

Attack roll of 15 misses. Maybe not wildly, but it sounded good.

Straightjacket waves around ineffectually, hitting air and mumbling about a really bad british heavy metal band from the early 21st century.

Last up is Neutron. Helluva round no? Make sure you check your abilities when you want to do things... and be very clear when you are being painfully obscure, lots of both happened this round.

"Hold on! I've got an idea. We'll settle this with a game of Roe-Sham-Bo!" X12 exclaims, hoping to catch Split off guard and confuse him with the reference.

OOC: Trying to Feint (Bluff), and if it succeeds, I'll Roe-Sham-Bo (spelled it phonetically, not sure if I spelled it correctly, though) him. If not, I'll just keep swinging.

Were did he get that weapon?

Kevin stand back and try to move out of any line of sight of Split, then he will duplicate again (if he has enough time) to finally become invisible again.

Edit:Oh, yeah. I will reroll any Total on my saving throw against damage of 17 and lower, and only damage save (or Will against Mental attack that does damage).

Johan graps the knife and throws it at the female split, hoping to at least distract her.

OoC: Not spending a HP on the attack, since I'll prolly need it on a damage save.
