Message: <blockquote data-quote="Calinon" data-source="post: 1478682" data-attributes="member: 13737">New YorkWave World Amusement ParkSanjayMonica looks quite red, but seems fine other than being way overheated.  Many people being pulled from other small pools and hot tubs are far worse off.  Even though you change much of the water to a cooler form, it becomes obvious that it is just a temporary thing letting the lifeguards and security get people out.  The water starts rapidly heating up. You are pondering what sort of mechanical error could do that as you wind your way back towards Monica.  Rebound is over by her, and she's sitting up and looking for you.  As you pass over a grate, you happen to look down, locking eyes with a strange being.  It looks like a porceline doll, about a foot tall and is at the foot of a ladder looking up, seeming rather surprised to find you looking down.  It immediately turns and runs out of sight. Spot check 16. The area below you seems to be a mechanical tunnel.  Probably where the water heating and recylcling equipment is. Loki and StraightjacketJohn looks up at you when you shout, then down at Raynes, then quickly grows and tackles her.  You barely make out three energy pulses as they slam into John as he covers Mrs. Raynes.  Had you not been looking, you'd never even have noticed them. Gunmen attack using VP to re-roll attack rolls under 10.  Gunman 1 (roof) 2(8) - VP 19 (25).  Gunman 2 (back of pool) 8 (14) - VP 10 (16).  Gunman 3 (smoothy stand) 1(7) - VP 10 (16). SJ's saves (DC 14), 2(5), 9(12), 16(18) - HP on first 10(13).  SJ takes two lethal hits. Cosmo runs directly at the smoothy stand as you conjure your bird, which lets out a shriek as it flies upward.  Monica watches, mouth agape, as the giant condor rips into the sky with a pounding of wings. That was the surprise round. Cosmo pushes himself, closing the distance to the smoothy stand and leaping the counter.  He sees the barrel of the rifle and grab hold of it, jerking it upwards. Initiatives:  Monica 27 (dazed, prone), Cosmo 24, Loki 23, Neutron 21, Doll-thing 9, Rebound 8, Straightjacket 6 (2L, 1HP), Gunman-1 5 (1VP), Gunman-2 5 (1VP), Gunman-3 5 (1VP). Loki and Neutron are up.  SJ can go as well since he's in another area and before the gunmen.  Those near the hot-tub haven't noticed the gunfire, nor heard any commotion from the wave pools.</blockquote>
