Generation Legacy: Issue #6

"Of course I trust you. What does that have to with a disguise though? Just tell me what you're going to do." Why do I have a bad feeling about this? What is she going to do, transform me into a hamster or something?

Oh, wait, she probably could. That's bad.

Anika smiles at Ryan. "Good. Well...the only way I can think of is if I turn you invisible. Changing your shape won't help, you'll still glow, most likely. Thing is, I don't have much of a grasp on turning things invisible, I can only do it to myself. So...I was thinking I could possess you, you know, take control of your body. Then I could turn you, well us, invisible." She winces somewhat at the proposal. "Probably the only way I can get you into the building later on too, unless you stay behind with the group that James is going to get. Your call."
 

Ryan laughs. "That's a great idea. Very creative. So can I sense stuff, or think, or whatever, while you are possessing me, or what?" Heck, I can trust her. It is good thinking, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

"Sure, I'm in. Only one way to find out the answers to my previous questions. Release me when we're safe or in trouble. Be sure to use it on Strength when we fight him." Ryan then lowers his mental defenses, sighing.
 

The Battle in the Yard continues!

Karen tries to shrug of the effects of the, dazzle effect but the bright blast, scrambles her vision, all she can see is bright searing light, and is effectively blinded by the blast!

Karen takes 1 Stun hit and Karen got a total roll of 13 for the Reflex Save, the base roll, her reroll was a 5! She has used one Hero Point thus far.

Karen leaps forward twenty feet, but is not close enough to strike, nor can she see her target anymore, with her vision shot for the moment. She can hear the fighting going on around her, but can see nothing.

Cassie leaps to one side of Jun Min trying to flank her with Charlotte and stays on the defensive but does not attack at this point. Charlotte charges forward and slams Jun Min hard with her spidery fists, causing the mentalist to recoil some from the strike!

Cassie moved and used Dodge, Charlotte rolled an 18 to strike, and Jun Min rolled an 11 to make her damage save and takes another Stun Hit, now 2 stun hits, but is not stunned. Charlotte will be able to spend the Hero point next round for the Extra-Effort.

Jun Min seeing the danger she is in, flies upward twenty feet, “Nice moves!” as her body flares with power, and she unleashes an area mental assault on both Charlotte and Cassandra!

Jun Min rolls a 10 to strike the area, Charlotte rolled a 12 for her Reflex save while Cassandra got a 22. Charlotte rolled a 12 on the Damage Save, and is Unconscious with 1 Stun Hit! Cassandra rolled a 6 on the Damage Save assuming she wants to stay conscious a Hero Point was spent and she rolled a 24, she is not harmed by the attack in the least!

Charlotte’s mind is blasted with overwhelming power from the secondary effects of the area mental assault, and the poor girl drops to the ground in a heap! But Cassie is able to avoid the affects with crafty maneuvering sheer will!

It is now Kelly’s turn!

The Infirmary

James and Kiyana poof into the room, and find Sarah laying on the bed, she glances over to the two elites weakly, as John bursts through the door, wearing a damp shirt and sweat pants, “Sarah!” he says.

Sarah sits up, slowly, “John, James, Kiyana, oh my god, that was fast, what day is it?”

John shakes his head and sits on the edge of his bed, “Its Saturday, you have been asleep or out for a week now…”

Sarah looks around, “What happened, I don’t really…” she rubs her head, and lays back down, “my head is pounding, where is everyone, I feel like I missed so much.”
 

Anika grins in relief from Ryan's reply. "Awesome. Yeah, you'll just be in the passenger seat, I'll be driving."

"All this for recon," she thinks. "But it's a really important recon," she rationalizes. She glances at Ryan. "This should work pretty good actually. Freya will like this, after all, she goddess of l...er, magic, yeah, goddess of magic," Anika says, blushing a bit and looking away.

She quickly begins to draw a glowing 'X' in the air, closing her eyes and chanting "Beautiful Freya, goddess of...um, magic, bond my spirit with the body of my...uh, Ryan." She looks up sheepishly. "Wow, pretty smooth, hey?" she says, as her form begins to fade and merge with that of Ryan's.

Ryan shakes his head and his eyes now appear to glow a lighter, more blueish hue than the rest of him. "Whoa. Don't matter how often I do this, it's still freakin' weird...okay, now for part two."

Ryan draws a bowtie-shaped rune, an X with the sides closed off, and says, "Great Loki, I beseech you once more, allow us to deceive our enemies so that they cannot perceive that which stands before them." As the rune disipates, Ryan's form fades away, as well. "Cool," you can hear him say as he looks down and sees nothing. "I'll stick close, but I'll try to keep quiet. No sudden movements though, 'kay, guys? You might run into me, and that would suck."

"How you doing in there?" Anika thinks to Ryan. "Fits pretty nice, I might just keep it," she adds jokingly.
 

"Not good, thats very very not good." Kelly mutters as Charlotte falls unconscious, I don't even know if either of them can actually fly, she thinks exasperatedly. Can they even get to her anymore? Kelly wonders. She grimaces at the fact that the 'plan' had been hers. One of the others could deal with Kensei since hes on the ground, but none of them could deal with Jun Min in the air.

I have to at least get her down to them. Need to keep Kensei from attacking the others too, God, is it always going to be like this? Nature responded to her urgings, the air around them grew chill, as hot as it was before she had chagd the weather, it became that cold and more. The temperature dropped rapidly, and it begam to snow, dropping little flakes on all of the combatants. The area around Kensei turns even more violently frigid, the air itself could sap a persons energy, and the snow was no little flakes, but hail the size of tennis balls. Simultaneously, the same phenomenon occured in the area around the floating teacher, though if it were possible, the cloud around Jun Min was even denser.

OOC: Hero point to undo the extra effort effect of last turn. Using Extra Effort to make the Hail on Jun Min rank 10. Both attacks include Fatigue and Entangle, heroic surge for the second attack. I'm not sure whether I can use my second half-action to use obscure, I don't believe its an attack, so it should be legal to use obscure, the SFX, being the swirling of the snow, if I can, use Obscure on Kensei.
 

"My eyes!" Karen staggers as she tries to locate Kensei, I guess I shouldn't have told him I couldn't see Shao-Lin before. When she hears a sound from the direction she was expecting him in, she leaps at it, again trying to grab Kensei, hoping it's not one of her own team mates.

ooc: same as before but this time blindly leaping at the nearest sound.

Ryan suddenly loses control of his own body. This is not cool at all, he thinks, trying to calm himself.

I'm fine, he assures Anika. Talk about an out of body experience. Still, this is very strange and I'd prefer to get it over with as quickly as possible. Still, I bet it's even weirder for you, controlling someone else's body. Stop the spell if there's trouble.
 

The Battle in the Yard continues!

Round Two Initiative: Kelly 23, Kensei 21, Karen 20, Cassandra 19, Charlotte 17, Jun Min 16

Kelly unleashes her power, and encases Kensei is freezing ice, locking him down for a moment, drawing his attention from Karen; the cold sapping his strength away at his endurance. The same effect befalls Jun Min as well, but she stays aloft, she just can’t move her limbs, still floating about twenty feet above the ground. An obscuring mist grows around the elite powered by Kelly’s will…

Kelly rolled a 26 and a 16, she hit Kensei head on and he failed his saving throws, but takes no damage. Jun Min made her Damage save as well, but failed her other saving throws. They are both fatigued and entangled.

Kensei flares with powers and shatters the ice surrounding him, and flies upward, shrugging off the attack. He then moves straight up into the air seventy feet, and aims a blast between Karen and Kelly, and unleashed a powerful ball of light energy, which flares into a bright ball,

Kensei rolled a 19 to strike, missed but still incurred an area attack. He used his Energy Field to break free of the Snare effect and used Heroic Surge for the attack after moving 70 feet straight up. Karen rolled a 13 Damage save versus the attack, and Kelly got a 5 and fails she is Unconscious from the force of the blast and drops to the ground. She failed the Dazzle effect as well, but that is a moot point. Karen still has a chance to use a Hero Point to reroll the save this round, so I will wait to see if she does. Both characters failed their reflex saves versus the Area Attack, rolling a 12 for Karen, and a 6 for Kelly. Kelly has taken 1 Stun hit so far.

Karen moves forward blindly in a leap, and is now both blind, and in the Obscure affected area, created by Kelly!

Karen let me know if you wish to reroll or not, after you is Cassandra
