Penthouse
"Actually, my dear. My father runs the syndicate," she says sweetly again, smiling as she turns with a particularly wicked looking knife in hand. She walks over and grabs her sword by the handle, putting her foot on your chest and wrenching the sword free. "Ooo, some good work. That's going to bleed out for a while."

She wipes down the blade and sheaths it over her back as she walks over to another rack. She grabs some sort of headgear and puts it on, complimenting her red body armor. "Just in case your friends decide to come and spoil our party," she says. "A girl has to be prepared. Now, which finger should I take as a trophy," she muses, slinking towards you, knife in hand.

You spend your last hero point, getting a 20 (19+1), just enough to recover from being disabled. You currently have 2 stun and 3 lethal hits, having suffered another with the tearing out of the sword. You don't think she knows you have recovered enough to act, giving you a surprise round, despite the initiative.

"Do I have one of those rocket-things as well?" X12 says, looking over his suit.
You do not, and are standing outside by the Van alone as the last of your group has either started their flight upwards or entered the foyer.

Pulling the alarm has the other effect of shutting down the music completely and activating normal lighting

"There she is!" Mendez shouts above the noise. You see Raisa standing upstairs, surrounded by people, several appearing to have weapons out.
Abandoning any hope of concealment, Loki will rush within range for an area illusion centered on Raisa (or as close as he can get amid the commotion inside the club). He will create the illusion of a host of big hairy spiders climbing up onto the upper level, covering the floor and furniture like a moving carpet. He will make the illusion so it's ineffective on Raisa.

Crystal Palace Foyer
"Right," the manager says drolly. "First, you aren't a member of law enforcement so I can't be obstructing anything. Second, if you were a member of law enforcement, you'd have a warrant. Do you have a warrant? I didn't think so!" His voice is rising. "Third, if you were a member of law enforcement, and wanted the co-operation of myself and the security for this private building, even without a warrant, you would have given me a real reason, not some vague implication that one of our tenants was committing a crime laced with threats against me, an employee of the tenants. Fourth," he says icily, sliding a small crystal bowl with mints in it to you. "Please, take one. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do, and you need to leave."

You get the distinct impression you have pissed him off where before, he was simply acting professionally. He turns his back to you and picks up a phone, dialing and waiting for a response.

Diplomacy check failed. 6 versus DC 20.

"Good job there, I'll remember to have you do all the talking in the future" mutters John as he exits the foyer. He will then grow to full size, and see if he can King Kong his way up the side of the building.
OOC:How many floors is he going to have to climb?

Kevin will go with a all or nothing move, if that fail, I won't bet on my chance to get out of this combat, but if that succeed, it may become something pretty good... So hoping I get her flat-footed because she is not aware of my condition:

Kevin will attack, using his chain as a weapon, and using a power attack (as much as I can) to be sure if she get hit, she suffers.

If I hit her: "Your sugar daddy should have teach you to always finish your job..."

Still using dodge against Mia only to have a +2 dodge bonus.

"Damn it," X12 says, heading for the foyer. "Frickin' flying so-and-so's; I'm taking up climbing like those crazy human fly guys... at least I can take the fall if I slip..."


Once inside the foyer, X12 looks at this stalled companions. "Why are we not inside yet? Haven't you explained to these gentlemen why we need access to the penthouse?"

"What the heck are you doing to my helicopter!? You get away from that!" He's dressed in a grease stained overall. "That's Crystal Palace property!"

Great, this is just what I need. Michelle thinks as she continues to fold up the rotor blades.

Sorry sir but this is EPIC business, there might be a potential situation here so I made sure no one could take the helicopter. Don't worry I can undue any damage that I have caused or it will be replaced. She tells the mechanic as she waits for the other students to join her.

OOC: Diplomacy 8 (re-roll and anything less than 12)

The G-Spot
Loki, seeing Raisa, runs forward and weaves an illusion of a horde of huge spiders swarming up the platform. Along with the intended effect, it pretty much finishes panicking the crowd, who storm the exits. You see a creature of inky blackness near Raisa, stabbing her in the arm! You can't quite tell from here, but you swear you see the form of a small, thin man in the dark form.

The effect of the spiders is momentarily successful. Two bouncers at the base of the stairs panic and start firing at them. As the bullets pass through them, they see the illusion. They look around for its source, but don't see you, instead seeing Mendez, Johan and Dara. Your blending is successful. Upstairs, Raisa is completely unaffected by the appearance of the spiders. While the people with her react momentarily, they soon ignore them completely.

Unheard by anyone on the bottom floor, Sho asks Raisa, "What is this? An attack?"

"No, just one of Randall's illusions," Raisa answers in a monotone voice.

The shadowy figure finishes drawing the blood and tosses the vial to Sho.

Detective Mendez wastes no time charging for the stairs. He moves remarkably well for a big man. "You two!" he shouts at the guards at the base of the stairs. "NYPD! Drop your weapons and lay face down on the floor!"

Dara doesn't wait for them to respond, leveling one of the bouncers with a mental blast that sends him dropping to the ground with a blank look, ears and eyes bleeding. "I got one!" she shouts into your minds.

The bouncer at the base of the stairs looks at his pal and drops his gun, lying face down on the floor. Upstairs, some men, ignoring the spiders, peer over the stairs. Spotting Mendez, and with the floor clearing rapidly, they open fire. Mendez takes one shot in the chest, grunting as it hits his armor. The others go wide.

Johan is up. Your girlie show is pretty much over ;)

Inside the Foyer
"Good god, more of you?" the manager says, rolling his eyes. "What, is there a convention?" he asks aloud as X12 and Johan walk in. "The only explanations were the half-mad ramblings of this... bug-eyed individual," he says, a look of distaste on his face. "Perhaps one of you better explain yourselves before I am forced to get security to remove you and call the police."

Another four security guards emerge from a room past the elevators. These ones appear well armed.
 

"We have reason to believe an agent of our team made contact with an individual involved in a kidnapping earlier today," X12 explains. "EPIC has trackers on every one of our agents, sir, and we pin-pointed the location of this agent in the penthouse of this building. We were sent by Detective Mendez with the NYPD to collect our agent and hopefully apprehend the suspect; we were placed in charge of this operation due to the high probability of dangerous mutant involvement. Your cooperation in this collection and apprehension would be greatly appreciated, as you all appear adept at the application of force, and we do not expect the suspect to go quietly if they are on the premises."
