EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

Neutron; HP 5/5; Protection 8

"What the hell?" Sanjay says, expecting a prank-playing student, not some armored chick. He's not sure whether to be concerned or amused. "Wow, you sure've got some balls, thinking you can infiltrate this place..."

He tries to activate his communitcator, but frowns when it doesn't work and returns his attention to the woman in the armor. "I suggest you stay put, lady. There's enough firepower in here to pound you six ways to Tuesday." With that, he attempts to form binding cord around her.

1/2 action: try to activate communicator, 1/2 action: Transmutation (Snare +7): Air to cord

Jay, 5/5, Status: Healthy, Protection: 4, [0,0,0]

Jay will put his helmet, if he spots someone, he will boost himself. After that, he will try by first pin the suspect.

OOC: Thanks for the tip, I thought Jay had put my helmet when Michelle gave it to Jay

Speed Demon - HP 5/5 - Superspeed, Dodging M-TAC guy (def 28), Natural Weapon +4, possibly Move by attack

"Oh no, I don't think you are going anywhere." In a flurry of motion Vince dashes up to the intruder and pierces his back with his barbed tail in an attempt to paralyze the M-TAC agent.

If he misses or the M-TAC guy makes his save, Vince will continue past him and block the direction he is trying to run.
 

"There are intruders on the grounds, at least three of them. Becareful they have stun gernades." Michelle tells her as her forcefield springs up around her. "Fly up and see if you can spot anything unusual."

Michelle will move further away in case they try and stun them and look to see if she can spot them.
 

EPIC Headquarters
Mega-city of New York

OUTSIDE

Jay quickly pulls on his helmet and spots a figure in black leathery armor quickly dashing down the wall. The figure, easily a few hundred feet away, glances back, and turns to dash through the underbrush, away from the wall. With no chance to grab hold of someone so distant, you pull your rifle off and, flipping a switch, attempt to incapacitate the person.

Attack roll: 17 (includes -4 penalty for range) hits
Fortitude save (DC18): 12 fails (target is fatigued and can no longer sprint).


Michelle and Tara see a black beam strike mid-air. There is obviously someone fleeing along the wall, several hundred feet ahead. Tara leaps ahead in a pair of jumps, trying to close ground on where the beam struck and pretty much ignoring Michelle's direction. She's still quite some distance away however. Thunder, however, hears what you say and shouts back, "I can't see a damn thing; they must be cloaked somehow!"

OOC: Jay: Being warned, he was well on his way away from you, and moving quickly. Rather than wasting your boost on a person so distant, you had this nifty gun...

Michelle: You can try to hit him, but with range penalties and him being invisible, and not being exactly sure how far ahead he is, it will be hard to do. Basically, you need to tell me how far ahead you are aiming for, and probably will need to use an area attack to have a hope in heck of hitting anything. Your forcefield is now up.

The M-Tac agent dashes into the trees, but only Jay can see him. He has nearly full cover from the underbrush.

Initiatives: Thunder 20, M-Tac 18, Jay 17, Michelle 14, Tara 13

Jay is up.


Speed Demon
Iniative order: Speed Demon, Kodiak, Rebound, M-Tac (2S, 1L, stunned, fatigued)

Across the institute, Speed Demon bursts out of the girls dorm, the swinging door launching into the field. Quickly looking right and left, he spots the M-Tac operative dashing towards the wall and gives chase. The man is running full out, forgoing all hopes of defense for a hope of escaping over the wall. Of course, he is trying to outrun one of the fastest people alive, but he's doing an admiral job.

Vince charges after him, shooting his tail past his own hip to stab the M-Tac operative in the back. The barb shoots into the man, through his armor, and Vince lets loose a dose of poison to try to paralyze the man. Somehow, the man keeps from being frozen by the poison injection.

Attack roll: 14 (includes +2 from charge) hits
Damage save (DC19): 15 fails (1L)
Will save (DC11): 9 - VP becomes 11 (succeeds)


Breathing hard and with several hundred feet to go before reaching the wall, he continues to run, stumbling a bit from the exertion, in a futile attempt to get away. As you give chase, a soccer ball flies from slightly to your right, impacting the man with surprising force and a nice SPROING sound, he reels from the blow, nearly falling.

Kodiak hurls a soccer ball from about 300 feet away
Attack roll: Natural 20
Damage save (DC21): 15 fails (1S, stunned)


"I got him! I got him!" shouts Rebound as he bounds along towards the staggered man. He's not going to reach him this moment though.

Vince is up again. This poor fellow has yet to be able to use his dodge bonus to defense.

CAFETERIA
Loki 22, Neutron 14, M-Tac 12 (snared), Raisa 11, Johan 3

A cord appears out of thin air, and instantly cinches itself around the woman's torso. Her arms get pinned effectively, but her legs are still free.

Attack roll: 17 hits
Reflex save (DC17): 10 fails (snared [-2 attack, -4 dexterity])


She uses her free legs to make a break for it, charging through the door, then immediately re-entering and bolting for another exit for some reason. She nearly makes it.

Raisa, holding her plate in one hand, rips a support post from the ruined buffet table and sends it spinning across the room at knee height. It hits the M-Tac operative in the leg with painful force, knocking her to the floor. Raisa considers walking over to club her, but the point is moot as the tied up, flour covered, prone woman is jumped by a gang of students and pinned to the floor. Then she is pounded six ways to Tuesday. There is a chance for more than casual injury going on as more students get in on the fray...

From somewhere in the midst you hear a shriek of "Ow! By dose!"

Meanwhile, Carl has Mr. Bunny pinned to the ground and is proceeding to feed him... a bunch of punches to the head.

TARMAC
"Nothing the others cannot handle, I am sure," Jun Po replies to X12. "A few uninvited trespassers by the sounds of things. It is good to see you well, X12," Jun Po says. "I was telling Michael of the events that lead to his being sent to Master Wen's academy." She seems to ignore Monica, and is obviously not happy with the girl.

"I'm sorry, is there something here I should know about," X12 says with a puzzled look between Monica and Jun Po.
 

OOC: Thanks, good move

"He is at XXXX meters in front of me, XX meters from the wall. Michelle, if you can use the gate to create a prison, I'll lead your aim."

Jay take a aim and shoot again.

OOC:
(Half) Shoot at fatigue mode
(Half) Lead Michelle if she agree with the idea or move to follow the opponent.
(Free) Use Leadership
 

Johan rushes over the lynch mob.
"Get off her! You are supposed to be members of EPIC, not a pack of ravening beasts that do not understand that she is already defeated!"
If the rest of the students don't follow his words, starts trying to pull them off her while repeating "Stop it already" and Calm down!" If the mob gets cleared and it looks like she has suffered serious injuries, Johan will call for the healer among the students in the cafeteria (I'm quite sure Johan would remember if one of them had the talent) or administer first-aid, as approriate. He will also ask for the separation of Carl and Mr. Bunny before they wreck the whole cafeteria.

If it looks like the mob isn't scattering at all after a moment (a round, if we are still in combat mode at this point), he focuses for a moment gathering static (and some not so static) electricity around himself, breaking a few of the lights in the cafeteria in the process. He then starts again shoving aside the mob, making sure to not inflict serious damage on anybody.

OoC: possibly relevant: Diplomacy +0. Medicine +2.
In back-up plan, use Extra Effort to gain extra of Energy Field on Datalink, not spending a HP to negate the fatigue at this point. Pulling punch on the jolts to get them stunned at most.

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

Looking uncomfortable during Jun Po’s admonishing

“I don’t remember doing that to you.” A frown appears on Michael’s face. “Look, I am s…”

Monica said:
”Hey Jun… What’s going on?”

Michael’s blushing largely goes un-noticed behind his scruffy cheeks and displeasure at hybrid person the second’s arrival.

"Hey X, How's your brain?"
