Mutants & Masterminds: San Angelo

[bkmanis]

Seeing the man on the ground Centurion surrounds him with a 10’ high wall of force to keep the beast and the wolves away. He then makes a slow descent and lands near the man, to check to see if he is alive. Centurion is prepared for any attack form the beast, wolves or the man on the ground.

OOC: using Create Object to create the force wall, it has a hardness of 10.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

After Centurion creates the force wall and flies down inside, which is witnessed by Spyder, Centurion finds that the man is not quite dead. He is badly mauled and will die without medical attention very soon.

A few seconds later, Spyder sees something moving rapidly, approach the force wall and jump over the top of it, disappearing inside.

Centurion did not hear the creature approaching but was ready for potential trouble, so is not caught completely unaware.

Unseen by anyone but Centurion, the beast lands inside the force wall and lashes out with its razor sharp claws. The claws rake into Centurion, causing him to gasp out loud. His force wall and force field fail as he becomes stunned and he is thrown backwards deeper into the wolf habitat from the impact. He lands 25 feet away on his back. Spyder sees the tail end of the claws hitting and Centurion being thrown backwards because the force wall no longer blocks his vision.

OOC: Okay folks, we're into combat rounds at this point. I'll list out everyone's initiative totals and we'll take actions round by round at this point. Shade and Shadow Demon are still several rounds away from the zoo at their current rate of speed and unaware that combat is occurring. However, given the amount of time its taking to run the distance to the zoo, I'll grant them the use of their powers to get there faster if they wish, even though they aren't aware of combat occurring. At this point, Centurion is stunned (failed damage save by 9) and was knocked back 25 feet. Spyder is roughly 120 feet away from the battle between Centurion and the beast and is still outside the thirty foot high wall surrounding the habitat. Ringmaster is still two rounds away at normal movement from the wolf habitat but does hear the sounds of growling and battle up ahead.

Initiative:
Spyder 30
Beast 27
Ringmaster 22
Wolves 22
Centurion 18
Shadow Demon 13
Shade 8

Actions?

 

[Shapermc]

Kiro keeps running for a while. (I would guess about 1-2 rounds) He then notices that he has not heard that howling for a while. Not missing a beat he turns back to face Sam and asks, "Do you think that we should head back? The noise stoped."

He keeps running unless Sam thinks otherwise, his speed comming from the look on Allisons face. He cant get that look of horror out of his mind. 'Maybey she heard something In those howls I did not.' Kiro thinks to himself.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Spyder will leap into the wolves pen and take a full move action to try and get to wear the strange bubble was just a second before as fast as he can. He will try and stay somewhat out of the wolf-guys line of sight but he is not really hiding either.

I am not sure about the super power Jumping, can you use a full moved action to go x4 your distance just like Running? I have not seen any rules on it and I am not sure. IF I can't I will use one of partial actions from Heroic Surge and double move to the bubble after I get into the wolves pen

OOC sorry re-reading I saw that the force bubble is down, so I edited somewhat where I was going

 

[Samnell]

Kiro keeps running for a while. (I would guess about 1-2 rounds) He then notices that he has not heard that howling for a while. Not missing a beat he turns back to face Sam and asks, "Do you think that we should head back? The noise stoped."

Sam didn't notice that the howling stopped until Kiro said something. He blinks in surprise, "That doesn't sound so good. I'm gonna uh... I'm gonna go on ahead. Sounds like it might be coming from the zoo. Maybe you could make sure Allison is still safe?"

He glances around and steps into the shadow of a mailbox. Unless Kiro says something to stop him, Sam melts into the shadows and vanishes.

OOC: Shadow form (which would render me invisible in shadows and is a free action) and then a teleport to the ticket booth at the zoo. That should keep Sam busy for about two rounds.

 

[Shapermc]

"SAM?!? Crap." Kiro says watching Sam disapear into the Shadows. 'What was it that he said, the zoo? Perhaps I am not the only one that I know that has ... powers. Perhaps he can help me understand why I can disapear at will...' Kiro thinks as he begins to full out sprint towards the Zoo. So that he does not attract the attention of any onlookers as he is probably going to have to break into the zoo he becomes invisable. 'I still don't fully comprehend how I can do this... may be this howling has something to do with what happen to my father. Strange howling... strange disapearance. Well at least if there is danger I can actually put some of those martial arts that I know to use.' Kiro thinks grinning his invisable grin.

 

[maddmic]

The Ringmaster, realizing that something is amiss, begins to act. Concentrating he uses his power to create an object that looks like a giant paper airplane. He jumps onto the airplane and flies towards the combat putting distance between him and the ground. Once he is hovering about 30 feet over the habitat, he will try to appraise the situation.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Initiative:
Spyder 30
Beast 27
Ringmaster 22
Wolves 22
Centurion 18
Shadow Demon 13
Shade 8

Spyder leaps from his perch in the tree and lands inside the habitat. He then runs to where the force wall was and where the wolf-like creature waits. (OOC: You can combine jumping movement with normal movement. So, in Spyder's case, he can move 30 feet normally or up to x4 at a full sprint. He cannot multiply his jumping movement to jump farther but he can include the 30 feet of jumping movement as part of his normal 120 feet of sprint movement.)

The beast lunges toward this new threat and snaps at Spyder with its powerful jaws instead of trying to rake him with its claws. The beast growls as its jaws snap shut without sinking into flesh, splashing foul-smelling spit and drool across Spyder's face and chest.

Ringmaster, flying on his cosmic power created paper airplane, zooms over the habitat, ending up just above the combat, about thirty feet above the ground.

The wolves of the habitat begin moving back into the area of the battle, but hold back a bit for the moment. They move in, stopping about fifty feet from the wolf-like creature, fanning out into a half circle, growling and snapping their jaws.

(OOC: I believe that Centurion is going to spend a hero point to shake off the stunned condition so that he can act this round, so I'll hold the round here until he posts so he can take an action if he wants.)

Shadow Demon turns invisible and then begins an all out sprint towards the zoo.

Shade steps into the shadows of a nearby mailbox effectively disappearing and then teleports to the ticket booth at the zoo.

OOC: Shade is now at the ticket booth. He is roughly 1200 feet from the wolf habitat and will have to follow the signs to get there. Shadow Demon is invisible and with his sprint, has also reached the entrance to the zoo. He is also roughly 1200 feet from the wolf habitat. Centurion is on his back inside the wolf habitat, twenty five feet away from the wolf-like beast and Spyder. Ringmaster is flying thirty feet above the scene of the battle. Spyder is locked in melee combat with the beast. Go ahead and post your actions for the next round but I won't run the next round until bkmanis posts Centurions actions for this round.

 

[maddmic]

Seeing what is happening below him, the Ringmaster tries to make sense of it all. He sees the person who is laying on the ground. He then sees the wolves crowding in around the scene. Remembering the howling that he heard he believes that the enemy below is the man-wolf thing. Using his powers, the Ringmaster makes a large cannon looking gun protrude from the paper airplane. Aiming at the man-wolf thing, the Ringmaster fires a blast of energy.

 

[Samnell]

Sam emerges from the shadows of the ticket booth a bit winded. Shadow walking for that long wasn't easy, even if it was fast. Whatever made all that noise was howling. What animals howled? Wolves! Why didn't he think of that first? He looks about for a sign or better yet a park map that could show him where the wolves would be.

OOC: If he can find a map, he'll start off on a straight line towards the wolf habitat, teleporting in hundred foot increments or as close as he can get aiming himself by line of sight. If he just finds a sign with an arrow on it or something similar, he runs. If he can buy time by running through a building instead of around, he'll do that. If by some off chance he remembers being to the wolf habitat previously well enough to port directly there, he does that instead.

EDIT: Hundred foot increments. A double-move teleport is 100 feet for Sam, not 60.
