Bank Fight
Vincent leaps up onto a nearby table, springing off of it, wings spread, and lets out a howl as he descends at the four gun-toting thugs. Stun blasts whiz by him into the air, and he lands right in front of one thug, delivering a mach one punch to his jaw before sliding to a stop five feet behind the remaining two thugs in line. The boy he hit cartwheels through the air, blood spraying in a spiral pattern, covering the floor, walls and nearby second story walkways, before he lands in a heap forty feet down the hall. Thick blood starts to pool about his head.
Acrobatics check was a natural 20, so was the move-by-attack-mach-one-punch attack roll. The damage save of two versus DC29 was catastrophic.
Vincent's flight cleared a path as screaming and terrified people dive away from the demon-winged goat-headed monster in their midst. Loki climbs up onto a nearby table to get a good vantage point and forms an illusion of a giant swarm of bees circling down from the roof. They block out the nearby light over the thugs, and though soundless, they are scary enough to cause two of them to drop their weapons and swat at them. The third one seems to see through them and turns on Vincent.
You cover an area big enough to get all of the thugs, even if you miss your square you are going for to center the illusion by 15 feet. Once the bees hit, two of them fail their saving throws with a 3 and 2 (what the heck is going on with my rolls today), but the other makes his with a natural 20.
Tara, soaring in, doesn't hear Vincent over her own wings and the screaming crowd and dives in at the last thug with his gun. She uses her insect arms like scythes, cutting into the back of his knees and actually severing his gun hand at the wrist. He stares at his bloody stump for a moment, then passes out.
Tara charges, scoring a hit with a 16. Versus DC 26 lethal damage, the thug gets a 10, and is dying, along with missing a hand.
Down the hall, Raisa runs forward and launches her backpack at the thug standing in front of her. It hits him and explodes, scattering pieces of whatever was in it into the air and around the hall. The impact is great enough to send the thug screaming down the hall where he crashes into a magazine stand, reducing it to splinters. He lays unmoving in the pile.
Hit with a 19 on range attack with a ... backpack. The thug gets a save of 8 and is rendered unconscious.
The police open fire again, the one on the end turning to face the sword wielding punks. All three score hits, trapping the thugs in stun fields.
Hit hit hit, failed save x 3.
Carl runs forward, drawing an aluminum bat from inside his suit jacket as he goes (where the heck does he get this stuff?), and slams it into the side of the thugs head. The thug spins in a circle, looks confused, opens his mouth to let his teeth fall out, and collapses, unconscious.
Carl smokes him. Nuff said.
The two gang members by Vince and Tara continue swatting at the bees until the spurting stump of their pal draws their attention. They scream and run away from Vince, Tara, and the cops, towards the restaurant. The sword wielding thug charges the cops, swinging wildly. A cop simply catches the blade in his armored hand, stopping the assault cold.
Dara moves up as the food court generally clears out as people make it out or cower beside counters.
Theatre Fight
X12 looks around for a target but sees none. Straightjacket, having seen the shimmer has a good idea where at least one Split is and stretches out, trying to fall on him. As he does so, Split becomes visible ten feet behind him, armed with a huge freaking cannon! He lets loose as John catches sight of an invisible Split nearby and goes to grapple him. The cannon nails John in the leg filling the hall with the stank of burning flesh. The cannon continues to burn and the lunatic wielding it shouts, "You're next, metalhead!"
Split with the cannon uses his readied attack. He hits with an 18. John gets a 16 for his save and feels the weapon penetrate his leg. John is stunned (and can spend a hero point to immediately unstun). His readied attack goes before Sanjay's or X12's. Your spot check reveals the invisible Split in the square right next to where you thought he was (50% miss, missed).
X12 rushes forward, careful not to get in Neutron's way, knowing he can't get close enough to do much this round, but not wanting to get incinerated by a death ray. Sanjay has another trick though, as he fires an energy blast that hits the giant cannon he's so familiar with. The cannon suddenly stops working as it turns into clear plastic. Split pulls the trigger and plastic balls dance where the power system used to be, making a pleasant rattling noise.
Neutron hits with a 20. Save failed by Split with a 10, and the gun turns to a rattly children's toy gun.
"I'm going to kill you so much!" Split shouts, throwing his plastic gun to the ground in anger. Naturally, it doesn't break which only pisses him off more.
