Initiatives: Flick 31 (3VP, 2S), Aerin 30 (1L, 2S, 2VP), Cosmo 25 (4HP), Vince 24 (2HP), Monica 22 (3HP, 2S, 1L), Loki 21 (3HP), Mantis 19 (1PL Insect Control), Straightjacket 18 (1HP, 2L), Unknown 17, Mole 15 (2VP, 1L), Metal Mistress 13 (1HP, 1PL Magnetic Control, 1L, stunned), Neutron 12 (3HP, 1L, 2S, fatigued, Anaconda infected), Johan 7 (1HP, 2S), Anna 6 (2L, 3S, 4HP, disabled, KO), Rebound 5 (4HP, fatigued, enlarged), Unknown 4, Anithos 0 (5VP, disabled)
Neutron flies into the back of the truck and lands amidst three rapidly dying mercs. All of them have black veins evident on their bodies, eyes bulging, tongues swollen, and appear close to death. Immediately concentrating on destroying the containment unit, canister and virus within, Neutron pushes his powers and all three vanish in a short blast of air.
However, some of the virus already escaped. There's a tightening all through his body and his veins start to darken. He feels a sharp pinch in his arm as the autoinjector puts antitoxin into his system, halting the progression of Anaconda within him. He still feels the results of brief exposure though, feeling weak, nauseous and quite a bit of pain. Still, he feels lucky as the guards have already stopped thrashing, frozen in a horrible death visage.
Neutron is suffering from exposure to Anaconda. -4 to all physical stats, limited to half action without heroic effort. HP spent to destroy Anaconda (and you eliminate further people getting contaminated too).
Johan creates a trio of duplicates before trying again to stem the loss of blood.
Three +6 duplicates are created. The can assist next round and get the medical kit.
Medicine check (DC15): 17 (figures, don't it)
Rebound thumps after Flick again, giving a huge kick at her. Another tendril starting to knock the blow aside, only to fail at the last minute as Rebound puts all his weight behind the shot! Flick shakes her head as she crunches sideways into the other truck.
Attack roll: Natural 20 (23) crit!
Deflection roll: 20
Damage save (DC21): 15 (1S, stunned)
A man's head, composed wholly of stone appears near Flick, rising out of the stone as if the person was walking up a set of stairs. He continues to rise out until he is striding towards the third van, ignoring everyone.
"Hurry the hell up in there," he says, leaning up against the back of the final truck. "I want to get this crap delivered sometime today."
His demeanor is casual, almost mocking, and it's painfully obvious he came for the same thing the Mole and his crew did. He seems to be daring anyone to attack him. Johan and Loki both realize who it is from their knowledge of the criminal database. Mason of Anarchy, Thunder's brother.
Anithos slowly starts coming around, obviously badly wounded, but regaining consciousness.
VP spent to regain consciousness (DC 10 -- 14 rolled).
Round 8... fight!
Flick shakes off her stunned condition, and tumbles past Rebound towards the third van. "Mole, someone else is here aft..." she starts, but trails off when she ends up in front of the stone man, who doesn't react other than to narrow his eyes at her. She pales, and starts backpedalling quickly, fear evident on her face.
Aerin flies upward, sending his elemental towards the back of the truck and the man there. The elemental advances quickly, slamming its entire body into the stone man. The man doesn't so much as move, and the elemental bounces backwards. The stone man looks far less than impressed. Aerin summons a second elemental of similar size.
Cosmo manages to finally shake off the stun attack of Flick.
He also spends a VP to remove his stun hits.
Vince, Loki and Straightjacket can go. It's a free action on Vince's turn to take the pills, so if you want to do anything else you can.

"Mole! The guy that killed that Anithos," Vince says nodding towards the brain splattered young man, "isnt with us. Neither is Brick Top over there that apparently scared Flick. They obviously dont have the same compunctions about killing as we do. It might be best if we all try to take them out and then worry about each other after that. Besides, it looks like he is trying to steal your bounty."
Vince is holding his action to see what the Mole does. If he agrees and redirects his troops after Anarchy, Vince will direct his dodge towards Mason (def 29) and engage with some Mach One goodness. If Mole decides to keep coming against our EPIC guys, Vince will be attacking him instead.

Raisa sets the unconscious man on the ground. "Well that was fun," she says sarcastically in a very low whisper. She looks at Li, more than a little surprised at the diminuative girl. She turns away after a moment and moves toward the ledge, crawling on her stomach to peer over and hopefully not be seen. "Dara's moving them out now," She whispers.
She watches for others, but also keeps an eye on the goons below for any sign they see past the deception.

Vince pops his pills, feeling instantly better. He tries his luck at diplomacy, but if it has any effect on the Mole, he can't tell.
The best you can do is move up to the Mole or Mason if the Mole doesn't or does listen. Both are well over five feet from you. Closer to 20-30 feet actually.
Monica pounces at Flick, bearing her to the ground under her before her momentum carries her past the woman. The tendrils weren't able to deflect the full weight of Monica.
Mantis snaps out of her daze over Anithos and turns on the stone man. She launches herself at him, slamming both insectoid arms into his chest with a scream. She recoils from her own blow. He doesn't flinch, nor appear hurt in the least. His eyes move from Flick to Mantis, and he treats her to a predatory grin.
Straightjacket surges upwards in growth, matching the Mole for size, and grabs the man in a bear hug from behind. He squeezes, drawing a wheeze of air from the Mole, but the furball manages to keep an arm free, and still seems quite focussed on eviscerating Michelle.
Attack roll: 16 hits
Opposed grapple check: SJ 8, Mole 7
Damage save (DC20): 12 (VP 15) (1S)
Loki is up.

You make your way up the hill. A few of the men at the top keeping watch see you coming up and wave down at you in greeting before turning back to what the camp. Nobody comes out to shoot you or shouts a warning or anything of the like as you climb the hill.
When you step into the camp, one of the lookouts says something none of you understand, but Dara answers. The man laughs, as do all but one of the gang members. Of the two floating people, one is male and one female. The males eyes flash when he sees you, and he quickly starts floating upwards!
"You fools! Those aren't Red Rose! They're EPIC!"
Of all the twelve people, only one made his save!
Most of the gang members look confused, and unsure of what they are supposed to do.
"Sound the alarm, Kenji!" the floating man orders to a man near a large bell. The man is looking very confused yet. The floating man is only about five feet off the ground yet.
Initiatives: Jackal 25 (4HP), Li 22, Kevin 18 (2HP), Flying man 17, Raisa 15 (2HP), Dara 14 (3HP), Carl 12 (4HP), Flying woman 11, X12 4
There is a small thump, and a jackal/wolf lands from above, between Kenji and the bell, growling at him, fur bristling.
Raisa
You see the group make their way unharmed to the camp, but once there, Li sucks in her breath. "One of them saw through Dara's illusion," she says. We should hurry," she adds as she starts running along the ridge towards the camp. "It looks like Michael snuck there already," she adds.
You already know all of this, however, sharing a link with Dara.
Two rounds to get there at a dead sprint.
