OOC:
Also, just wondering, what was the Nitro being hit by the RPG thing? Just a description of him missing his reflex save? Or some combination of Targeted Area and regular area?

What does Nitro see in the building? Anyone around? Edit- how much can Nitro see of the other movements that have occurred? Can he see Numero Uno and Plant-Dude? The cars moving positions?

The latter. RPGs are inaccurate, so I decided to play it as the actual shell requiring an attack roll, THEN exploding from that spot.

Nitro is in some kind of call center with lots of cubicles in it. No one is there, but he hears a number of lycans on the floor above, probably from the bridge. He cannot see outside unless he moves to a window, and none of the suervillains passed over the hole in the building.

Meanwhile, secondary fires from the explosions begins spreading in the buildings.

. o O {They're...monsters?} Nightweaver thinks as the creatures transform and attack, explosions filling the air. She narrows her eyes as the largest of them lands on the roof, her hand moving to the bolas on her belt . o O {Their leader? If they're like other pack animals they might flee if the leader goes down . Still not moving from her realativly safe position she sizes up the larger wolfman.

OOC: using that standard to use my Assessment feat on Numero Uno

Nightweaver estimates that his attack and defense are considerably higher (at least 5 higher) than hers.

(I think I'm going to HP that first Reflex save. Shooting Star has so many damage conditions even Total Healing won't get them all - especially if my lucky streak continues, and it will cost us 2 standard actions IIRC. Plus I'd rather not start off my dodgy character with lots of non-dodging. Yeah, I am planning on picking up Evasion 2 at some point - it seems clear now that I should have started with it. )

Instead of all that stuff, I described, she is unhurt by the initial blast (but still the second one).

(OOC: Ah, Victim, I had almost finished writing a post where Johnny Nitro "rescued" Shooting Star by picking her up and jumping out to get her healed by Angel. He hasn't taken "Fast Rescue Damsel in Distress"- I think it's a variant on Quick Draw- so it would have been my entire turn's action. But the dialogue!)

"I'm fine," Nitro says over his commlink. "It will take more than a rocket launcher to stop me"

(I'm assuming someone tells him that they're now facing two supervillains) Oh. Well, that's going to be harder.

Nitro jumps out of the hole he finds himself in. He lands on a stable section of the roof and sees the two supervillains. The werewolf leader! Nitro remembers his last encounter with a werewolf leader- he rubs the spot on his neck where its bite would have torn his throat out if he were a lesser man- it still hurt him like hell. And a really skinny wimp of a dude. That guy's a supervillain. Come on. Melina could beat up three of this guy with one hand tied behind her back!

"Hey pencil neck!" Johnny Nitro yells. "I'm going to kick your butt, you 98 pound weakling. Heck, I don't think you even weigh 98 pounds. Go eat a hamburger before you starve to death!"

[sblock]OOC: Using Distract (Intimidate) with a +17 bonus on the Intimidate roll. I couldn't resist. If he's for some reason not around, Nitro will use Acrobatic Bluff to feint Numero Uno at a +17 bonus, fooling him with a blizzard of acrobatic spins. [/sblock]

Stepping through the shadows, Nightweaver appears next to Optic, "That large one is probably the leader-even if it's not taking it out quickly might make the other ones scatter. Can you time a blast to hit the large thing at the same time as my bolas does?

 

[Shayuri]

Seeing the explosions, Viridian winces, but no one comes scrambling back out...so she screws up her courage, makes sure the warding is up...and walks through the portal to the rooftop.

The confusion is like an assault. A great swath of roof is simply missing. She doesn't see all the heroes right away. And...werewolves?!

Whatever had made those explosions seemed to have dealt with the threat of the guards. The big werewolf was another matter. Lacking silver or fire, she used the weapon no witch was ever without...the mind.

Lycan! Her voice rang out with unnatural volume, with a strange metallic overtone rippling through it. To the one it was meant for, this voice would slice through conscious awareness and sink like a knife into subconscious acceptance, producing reflexive, automatic obedience...if he didn't manage to control himself. Lycans weren't, as a rule, paragons of self control however. Throw off the wolf! Assume your human form!

Goddess, let it work, she privately prayed. A werewolf in full possession of its powers was trouble she'd rather not face just now.

(Voice of Command on the 'boss wolf'- Mind Control, DC 21, if he can hear her voice)

OOC: Shayuri- I don't think there are any werewolf mooks left on our roof. There are some blinded ones on the other roof, and one non-blinded one over there too. Where were you targeting? Matt, maybe clarify here.

Raylis- presumably we have the commlinks set up, so you certainly don't have to take an action moving to talk to Optic (if that was your intent with your post)

You are correct on all counts.

OOC: I didn't want to assume we had anything set up, and it's a lot easier to synchronize an attack when you know where it's comming from.
