Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

"How goddamn tough do supers get!" Temper yells, beginning to grow frustrated at her powers' lack of effect. Still on the ground, she'll bite on her lip and start building up another devastating - in theory - bolt. No more sweeps with the beam; I'm going to overload. Sure, it goes a bit wild when I put too much power into it, but with the webs accuracy shouldn't be a problem. A jagged bolt arcs towards Shriek from the girl's hands.

Disintegrate Attack on Shriek. Attack +8. Disintegrate 14. Power Attack 3, All out Attack 3.

Attack roll 13+8=21. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1226910

Damage DC 32

Defense: 13/10 Prone. Toughness +16, Impervious 15? Bruised -1. HP 0
(6 points of boost has 3 canceling the drawback, and 3 going to Impervious, IIRC. It looks like I may have been knocking off points too early. Not like the Impervious matters now though

For just once in his life he wished he wasn't so damned popular, that bloody itch of a pretty girl talking about him striking again, hand scratching at the back of his head as he waited for Wi-Fi to work his magic.

"If I had to take a guess on Pyro... Probably iceman beating his sorry.." He chuckled a little, streaching and scraching that damned itch once again. "Anyways, I think I might opt out of messing with Pyro for now, honestly I'd like to get some lunch in me at some point today. If you find that you need me you know where you can find me, though if it opens up I might see if the professor can let me romp through the danger room today. Didn't get picked for the team... feel kinda overlooked."

Considering she's using a penetrating rank 17 attack, the impervious didn't matter. Would've mattered against Blob, but both Sabretooth and Shriek are Penetrating.[/sblock]
 

Danger Room

Colossus smiles at Sabretooth wickedly, "Have you ever wanted to fly, comrade?" With that, he turns and throws Sabretooth out the window as hard as he can, arcing the throw a little up to avoid the police cruisers.
[sblock=OOC]That was fun.

Gwen bounces from the ceiling to the wall to the floor, reeling from the effects of Shriek's sonic blast. "That... hurt... lady," she says. Angling for another shot, Gwen raises her arm and shoots a stream of webbing hoping to bury the sonic villainness in a coccoon of sticky webs.

[Cafeteria (everybody not in Danger room is here now)]

Astrid, Miranda, and Derek enter the Cafeteria slightly behind some of the other students, and see the place starting to fill up. Miranda notices Kitty Pryde holding a metal rose and talking to a trio of cute guys.. lucky Shadowcat. Derek leads them quickly to get some food before all the seats are taken. "Actually, I kinda like 'Phase'. I guess I'll give it a try." He smiles warmly at them "Thanks girls, what would I do without you? Hey, there's Alchemist!"

Derek waves at Alchemist as he and the two girls head to get their food.

Gwen's webbing splats into the entangled Shriek, but the effects are moot as Temper blasts her again, incinerating the webbing, Villainess, and a portion of the wall behind her.

Quarterback turns his attentions back to Blob and distracts him as Lightspeed dashes back into the fray after dropping off the last hostage with the police, shrinking and focusing her gravity powers as she sneaks up behind the Blob (who remains intent on Quarterback). She easily gets the drop on him and her dense fist plows into the back of his head, crossing his eyes as he staggers forwards. There is a hideous moment when it appears he may actually fall on Quarterback, but he manages to stay standing... Barely.

Colossus, meanwhile, has apparently had enough of Sabretooth and turns, flinging the beast into a wall across the street. He smashes into the wall, causing a large portion of the mortar to crack and come loose, before falling to his hands and knees.
The cops move to surround him, pointing their guns and shouting "freeze" as he looks up, grinning savagely. You think perhaps that was not the best move...

The Sabretooth leaps at the nearest cop, and takes him down as the others fire seemingly ineffective bullets at him.

Blob, meanwhile, struggles to stay standing (much to quarterback's relief).

[sblock=combat info]
Gwen's web hits, but Shriek makes the Reflex save. Temper's blast hits, Shriek rolls nat 1 on Fort save, dropping her Tougness save to a -5. Toughness save vs DC 32=12. Shriek = Dust.

Lightspeed Attack vs Blob : I had her delay as she sees Quarterback getting ready to set him up. I used your rolls from last round but had her Power Attack, since she's got him Surprised and is being aided. She hits, Blob makes DC 32 Tougness save (27 + 5 power attack). Blob gets 20. Blob is staggered.

Colossus throw : Sabretooth weighs ~300 Pounds. You can throw him 100 feet. He makes the toughness save vs wall, as well as 7 out of the 8 tougness saves vs bullets, taking 1 injured damage. His healing factor has allready healed the Bruised damage, however, leaving him at 1 Injured, and across the street (30' from bank, hampered movement if you can't fly b/c of cops & cars in the way)

[Cafeteria.. Daydreaming..]

Show off. For her next trick she'll probably make it 'disappear'... Miranda pouted bitterly...

For a moment, time seemed to stand still for Miranda as her thoughts rang out loudly like the toll of church bell at high noon. In her mind, she envisioned a scene from a western, a a vacant, ransacked town with boarded up windows. She stepped onto a dust covered boulevard in clear view of the townsfolk who trembled within each wooden edifice from fear.

She calmly walked towards the center of the street and noticed an other figure stepping towards her on the opposite side of the road. It was kitty. Shadowcat, your reign of terror is over. I'll give you until the twelfth toll of noon to leave this town, or else you'll be leaving in a crate. The church bell began to toll, and Shadowcat stood defiantly with all the false bravado she could muster. A faint gust of wind blew past Miranda carrying a tumble weed as the bell rung out it's final toll. Within the blink of an eye both Miranda and Kitty charged forward before becoming engaged in a spectral cat-fight.

Miranda felt a slight breeze and blinked as someone stepped through the spot were she stood. Embarrassed, she quickly followed behind Calypso and Derek. Moment's later, to her horror Derek waved to Alchemist, who was one of the boys Kitty was talking with. She can't be that popular?!?

[sblock=OOC]
For dramatic purposes, let's assume that Miranda's daydream is being played at full volume, and is stylistically "filmed" in the stlye of Sergio Leone (meaning its a badly dubbed spaghetti western). Thus, she is giving all the telepaths in the cafeteria audience a psychic treat. Hint Hint Wi-fi[/sblock]

"I'm kind of glad you didn't get 'alchemy' or whatever," Calypso confided to Derek. "It's kind of a stupid name. Way overdone." She quickly glances up and gives a big wave and grin to the Alchemist as Derek calls his greeting. "Oh hi!"
 


Temperance scrambles to her feet as her powers tears through Shriek and consumes her. Was the hostage in the vault extracted? I haven't seen Julie go past me. I think. :):):):), I'd better check; I guess this is fog of war. A sonic thing might cause internal bleeding anyway, making moving the person dangerous. She darts foward into ruins of the vault and yells at Gwen: "Help the others; I'll check things out back here." But if they were really in trouble, shouldn't I have heard something?
