(In theory, shouldn't Nitro have recovered from stun before those attacks, assuming they occurred on the same init count as in the previous round, and been prone, giving him +4 Defense for 25 Defense Total. In which case did 4 people really hit him?)

I forgot the prone benefit, but they rolled real high. Two less bruises, and a stun not a staggered.

 

[Victim]

My path is my choice. Not my parents, not anyone elses. Mine. Blood doesn't matter, will is everything.

Unable to tell that Hope is still KO'd - since they're both concealed by Nightweaver's darkness - Megan mumbles in reply, "No. Wrong again. ...Can't escape yourself."

Wren's ring glows, and everyone finds themselves zooming towards the plane as a twisted and distorted picture of the area in between pass by. (I assume he also takes the handcuffed Ironblood, who Nitro dropped when the knight threw him across the factory). Jacobson is standing outside, right about where you are, holding a really big gun on his shoulder. He blasts a shell at a distant target.

"Great to see you. Downhill are a bunch of Suburbans. They came from the house garage, and they seem to be picking up survivors streaming out of the facility from some kind of escape hatch. Most are armed. We have them pinned for the moment, but I only have three guys up there and when they run out of grenades its going to be a lot harder to deal with that many. Reyes, our medic, is alongside the house, so we can't help your wounded just yet."

"What?" Megan asks after the odd feeling of being warped. "Oh, the plane. Who are you?"

Shooting Star curls up defensively on the floor of the aircraft. "We should just get our people out and go. The lady did something to the reactor; no one should be staying around here now. Not us, not them." Why would someone mess with a nuclear reactor? It's insane.

 

[Elric]

Nitro, 1 Injured, 4 Bruised, 0 HP

Shouldn't have boasted about my invulnerability while on the phone with Melina last night

Nitro lays there and recovers for the round. (Heals 1 bruise out of 5; 2 bruises out of 4 remaining can be healed by his regen in future rounds)

 

[DM_Matt]

Shouldn't have boasted about my invulnerability while on the phone with Melina last night

Nitro lays there and recovers from staggered for the round. (3 bruises out of 5 can be healed by his regen in future rounds)

He's not staggered this time, just stunned.

 

[Elric]

He's not staggered this time, just stunned.

Your clever editing confused me. Edited above.

The girl vanishes, once more, leaving her alone, Stephan is there in her stead, his expression unreadable.

Why am I here? Hope asked.

We can't protect you much longer, they know. He knows. Stephan warned. He wants you back, they both do.

"I am no one's pawn," Hope replies outloud, still talking to someone they can't hear or see.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Defense 19, Toughness 21, HP 3

"What?" Megan asks after the odd feeling of being warped. "Oh, the plane. Who are you?"

Shooting Star curls up defensively on the floor of the aircraft. "We should just get our people out and go. The lady did something to the reactor; no one should be staying around here now. Not us, not them."

"Wren... and as for leaving, I agree, to some extent. There are still people there, and they need to get out as well..."

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by his alteration of his powers, he takes the split second he needs to refocus on his own fatigue. (Spend HP to overcome Fatigue from EE, 1 of 4 spent)

Turning to the unconscious Hope (if he is able to see her), he leans over, transferring some of his cosmic power to bring her back to her senses. (Immediate Heal check for Hope, on worst condition, with bonus of 10 to her roll, should make it easily, only Standard action, not Full action.) He then turns to the group that he just managed to get out in what appears to be enough time to escape.

"Secure the prisoner, those that can, evacuate the crew still on the ground. The rest, get ready to get going. I'm going in for Reyes."

Wren then takes flight, moving towards the location told to him where the medic should be. If he has the chance, he will again EE to get Reyes back to the plane, flying him there as fast as he can.

 

[kirinke]

You need to wake up Hope, your friends need you. Stephan warns, pushing her into the mists....

Hope moans as Wren heals her, her various burns, gunshot wounds and the head injuries making waking an unpleasant thing indeed. "Did we win?" she asked hazily, opening her eyes, then shutting them as everything spun crazily. Once she hears that Jacobson's men are pinned down, she props herself up, forcing the pain back again, speaking slowly and keeping her eyes closed so that the dizziness won't distract her. Concussions aren't exactly the most pleasant things in the world.

"How about some hail directed at the bad-guys. Will that help?" she asks, wincing as pain shoots through her head again.

 

[Victim]

"Don't do anything. If you screw around with the weather in your current state, things will just get messed up and the plane won't be able to fly as well." Megan mutters. How is hail going to help everyone escape? She's so stupid. How come she has a government job with all kinds of access and authority? "And you were talking in your sleep."

 

[kirinke]

"Dun... Don't worry." Hope said, the pain in her voice obvious. "I can make it so our plane won't be bothered by the hail. 's all in the mind's eye." she muttered, "Everything falls down, the center doesn't hold." she said as the sky darkened ominously, clouds spontaneously forming as the temperature plummetted. "Hail is nature's way of saying you've been naughty,"

"I wasn't asleep. I was unconscious." she grinned at the other woman. "Lotsa difference there. I hate being unconscious, everything's grey and you can't wake up." she looked in the direction of the Suburbans. "I don't like them," she added, pointing her hand. "They need to learn a lesson," she told Megan conversationally and her hand slashed downward. By the way she's talking, you can tell she's not exactly herself at the moment.

Exeedingly large hailstones began to fall at a rapid pace from the sky, concentrating in and around the suburbans, as they hit the ground, cars and whatever, they sound like small grenades in of themselves. You can hear the screams from here, as they are taken completely by surprise.

"Can we go home now?" she said, closing her eyes as the room once more spun in a rather neat figure eight, and she saw three Megans.

"Three of you? I can barely deal with one," she said to Star, her voice heavy with pain and exhaustion. "I hate spider demons. Soul stealers, mind readers. Blood drinkers, kill everyone you know, everyone you care for." she shook her head, regretting that movement almost immediately. "Couldn't let that happen. Toomany lives at stake. Know too much.... Viable Targets." you can tell she's barely holding on by a thread, keeping the hail up and going long enough for wren to get back with the survivors.
