EPIC M&M: Issue 2 (IC)

[Mimic]

N/A

 

[Mule]

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.

OOC: I realize that Loki has no medical training. Even someone with no professional expertise can do something, little effect though it may have. He had to try to help...

Everyone take one of these pagers when you leave the bus, and if you have any problems, hit the white button on the front and I'll come and find you...

Seeing that there is little he can do to help the injured, Randall suddenly remembers the pager Empath gave him as they first entered the mall, and begins pressing the white button madly. "Help!"

When Randall sees the cops shooting in Speed Demon's direction, he snaps back into action. "Here we go again, demon indeed." Loki will create the illusion that the ceiling is slowly collapsing. Large cement blocks, and falling glass will rain down on the two officers in front of the bank. Once again he will make this illusion so that the EPIC students can see through it.

OOC: I hope Loki can get in range for his illusion, if not he will spend this round getting there, and use the illusion next round.

Round 4

Note: Check the edit of last round. I used the wrong DC and most of you made your willpower saves for the stun effect and are free to act. Subsequent events after that (damage for MM and SD) were also avoided as a result. The condition summary at the bottom of this post is corrected.

Bank/Restaurant
Jackal howls in a rage, and charges straight back in at the female version of Split. His roar is enough to draw the attention of everyone nearby, and even those out of the line of sight know who it is and roughly where it is coming from. He slams his entire body into her, and amazingly she not only holds her ground, Jackal seems to take the worst of the impact.

Jackal slames into Split, scoring a hit with a 22. Split fails the damage save with a 20 and takes a stun hit. Jackal fails the damage save with a 12 and is stunned.

I'll get to everyone's actions in initiative order.

 

[Deva]

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.

Turning to those unhurt by the blast she gestures to those injured. "Make sure they don't move, someone will be here to help them shortly...." She leaves the stores, mumbling under her breath, "... Espero." (translation: I hope)

Seeing the cops turn their weapons on the Epic student Raisa growls to herself. Why do we even bother. I give up, they can finish this themselves if they don't want our help. She shakes her head and goes about collection her broken backpack and the few items that had been inside.

 

[Elementor]

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.

"BLOODY HELL!!!" I would have let you run away but NOOOOO lets try to get a parting shot in! Thats it, you get to stay here with the rest of your buddies!" Speed Demon catches up to the punk and not wanting to hit him in the back, will hit him from the side with a Mach One Punch as he passes him. (Will reroll an attack roll of less than 15)

Vince will continue moving past the thug and turn around to face him if he is still standing.

Superspeed sustained. Move by attack and Mach one punch

Bank/Restaurant Fight
Vincent moves after the thug who stabbed him, zipping past him and trying to punch him as he passes. He nails him in the ribs with a resounding crack and the thug smashes into the wall, dropping his knife. The thug is laboring for breath, and s ahort minute later, pink foam is on his lips and he goes into convulsions.

Vincent gets another natural 20, making his DC 29. The thug's save is a 5. He's rapidly dying.

Loki runs forward, pushing the white button repeatedly. As he exits the food court, he sees Empath preparing to leap down from the third floor balcony near the cops. He focuses his power and it a few pieces of tile soundlessly impact the ground followed by what appears to be the collapse of the whole roof over two of the officers. Both dive clear of the rubble as it comes down, coming to their feet smoothly. The man that had exited the bank is screaming at him, "No! What are you doing!? Why are you interfering!?"

Loki creates his illusion as an attack, and hits the desired area. Both cops make reflex saves with 23 and 19 to avoid the falling blocks, and willpower saves to see through them (being silent it was kind of easy). Spot check sees Empath.

Inside the restaurant, Split is clutching his head in agony. "Must... get out!" He staggers back and his female counterpart runs to him.

"What's wrong? What is it?" she asks him, grabbing his hand.

"EPIC is everywhere," he says, shaking free of his pain.

Both vanish, and a blue beam of light races out of the restaurant and towards the bank. It stops suddenly in the middle of the hall and they both appear, moments before they both vanish in a yellow beam of light, reappearing sixty feet away down the hall. They both vanish once more into a yellow beam of light that impacts one of the two cops that just avoided Loki's illusion, where they both finally appear and remain.

A roaring sound is heard throughout the area and the ceiling actually does explode, with lines dropping from a hovership above the mall.

Female split moves up, then teleports with the male Split to an invisible duplicate, using heroic surge to accomplish it. Split then teleports sixty feet, then jumps thirty feet to another double.

"Where's my wife!?" the man shouts over at Split. "You promised me you'd get her from the Red Rose Syndicate!" (This is only heard by those relatively nearby and not in the restaurant.

Brock Murphy does not emerge from the kitchen.

With Split now in sight of most of you, what you do may change. Feel free to edit what you are doing for Metal Mistress, Amazon, Multibrain and Stealer.

Theatre Fight
Straightjacket, you see something blur by you rapidly, as if it is running. X12 and Neutron also see something rush by them briefly, towards the main exit to the theatre.

Spot checks... you all make me ill. 19 (SJ), 18 (N), 21 (X12). He is now, however, temporarily out of your spot range.

Hope I got it all right on the map

 

[Dalamar]

Johan throws the knife at the cannon-toting Split while his duplicate keeps trying to arm one of the grenades (I think that instance of Split is still around, if not, Johan will move out of the restaurant, picking his shopping from the floor on the way).

 

[Mordane76]

"I don't think so!" X12 yells, giving chase. "Neutron, blast the left doors! I'll rush the right side! Straightjacket -- straight up the middle!"

OOC: Reading the map, the main doors is the open space to the "right" of Epic Theater (in the top-down representation), correct? We haven't seen the doors move yet, or at least I didn't read that he actually went out the doors, so I'm gonna try and bum-rush the right side. Hopefully, between the three of us, we can cover almost all the possible spaces at the exit portion of the doors and get this guy.

The directions I yelled out are as though we're facing the doors, so Neutron should be shooting straight in front of him, and I should be rushing the area pretty much infront of me.

 

[Velmont]

I move outside the restaurant, and if I can see Split, I duplicate again, and then become invisible. And for my first duplicate, seems I don't have control, but if I have some, I want Split to test his own medicine by shooting at him.
