Jessica looks at the man as if he was stupid, before slowly replying as if she was talking to a four year old.

" You don't know? You called me. Maybe you should ask your boss - or at least stop with asking me the questions and start asking whatever genius you've got working for you that called me up."

The young woman spits a gobbet of blood onto the floor.

" Oops. You should probably get someone to mop that up."

The man runs out of patience. "Enough!" He smacks her across the face, and the illusion melts away. He grabs her by the neck, and moves the glowing circlet over her forehead. A ray of golden energy pours into her, causing intense pain. "NOW TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!!!!"

Jessica blinks, taken aback.

" You'll have to be clearer than that I think, for the mind control to work. Unless you're trying to tell me that I've just been crowned Miss America? "

She pauses.

" If you're going to start serenading me, maybe you could go ahead and blast me again first? No offense, but you're not exactly Idol material I think."
 

Viridian steps through the ruins of the door on the roof, and shouts "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!" The wolf's keen ears hear it just fine, but the frenzied beast of great power shrugs off its effects.

Optic runs to a better position and blasts the wolf with his eye beams, just as Shooting Star flies towards the other villain while blasting the wolf, and while Nightweaver tries to trip him with her bolas.

When contacted by Nightweaver/Shooting Star, Optic agrees to the combined attack and when they are all ready, speaks into the comlink. "EVERYBODY.. FIRE NOW!" (NOTE: Since Victim said no to the use of combined attack in the OOC thread, it will be synchonized, but separate attacks.)

Optic nails the wolf in the neck, but he very surprisingly seems only lightly harmed (1 Bruise, assuming you are using non-lethal)

"Assisting your attack!," Megan yells into the commlink to Nightweaver and Optic.

Shooting Star zooms away from the busy rooftop/hole (and the fires), pumping out plasma balls at the boss werewolf, with so many of them hitting him that it seems to cause some meaningful damage (and some minor fur fires. 1 Bruise or Injury (lethal or nonlethal?)). After completing her escape/strafing run, she ends up near the flying guy with petals for wings. Let's not make this too easy for them. Shooting Star dissolves into a silverly-white blur as she circles the Sheik at speeds nearly equaling sound. (What is that HP: 1 thing...what are you using a hero point for?)

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

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!"


This actually distracts the Heroin Sheik, who was just about to attack Shooting Star, ruining his concentration and preventing the attack.

Numero Uno, on the other hand, is quite able to strike. The burn on his neck quickly heals. He sniffs deeply a couple times, and, detecting an invisible opponent, goes after her, as in his experience the sneakier types tended to be relatively easy to take down if you can see them. He takes a couple giant strides across the roof, and takes off just in front of Nightweaver with his arm outstretched, closelining her. (Crit, Save: d20+11 = 4+11 = 15, Bruised, Staggered, Stunned, Unconscious. Consider a reroll, though the best you are going to get is a stunned result, and thus will still get thrown). Nightweaver is thrown into the second to top floor of the adjacent building, shattering the window, breaking through a wall, bashing down a cubicle, and finally getting stopped by a steel support beam (Save DC = 25, Save = d20+11-1 = 18, Bruised, Stunned). She bounces off the beam, sending a shower of plaster flying off it, and collapses in a heap.

With some help from Nightweaver's head and Newton's Third Law, his punching arm leads a midair reverse spin, casing him to land facing you on the roof of the other building (leaping, running jump, move-by-attack).

Three lycans jump up on the roof from the stairs, and three more jump up through the hole, having come from the bridge. They fire their machine pistols at the heroes, but they are ineffective. The only ones who take good hits are Viridian, whose forcefield entirely absorbs the bullets' energy, causing them to fall harmlessly to the ground , and Nitro, whose thick skin simply deflects them.

Some more guards run into the building at the bottom. The rest cannot get good shots at the heroes, because the heroes are on top of the building.

Meanwhile, no one bothered to go take out the rocket dude. Fortunately for the heroes, there are too many of his comrades around to use it again. He grabs the sniper rifle off his fallen comrade, and boldly takes a shot at Optic, but misses.

(Angel and Salix still can move this round, but everyone post for the next round, too, please)

(I'm not using HP for anything. I was marking off that SS has only 1 left now. Probably, her bruise should be noted in the condition box as well. The damage is Bruise - I generally assume everything is nonlethal damage unless otherwise noted.

Hmm, what building was Nightweaver knocked into? Were there any guards in that area? The way I see it, if Johnny Nitro was going to spend his turn rescueing Shooting Star, then he'd be equally willing to rescue Nightweaver if she had been knocked into a dangerous situation.)

You are on the office building. She is int he research building. It is unclear is there are guards near her. Most of the Cholos are organizing around attacking the office building and defending the boat.

The man is really, really, pissed off at this point. "TELL ME WHO YOU WORK FOR DAMMIT!!" he screams, as he smacks her across the face so hard that she and the chair fall over. The man shakes her, and through the haze she hears him saying "TELL ME! HEY, wake up. Hello? AH, BLOODY HELL!" She passes out again.
 

This post will be quick.

Shayuri, use lethal on Evil Eye: incurable is more valuable this way.

If Matt is correct that a 20 would stun Raylis except for the nat20=at most wound rule, we're in big trouble: num1 has +16 or higher base dmg. No holding back. It would be nice to have the whole party taking actions even if someone doesn't post fast enough: maybe designated absentee posters could become default.

To keep in theme and attack someone Nitro might be able to grapple, Nitro will Acc Attck 5 move jump and attack Sheik, then Imp Grab him on a hi and land back on the roof. If that works, other people should take him out of the fight while we have the chance with him having no dodge bonus: I hope he doesn't have an Aura...
 

Viridian watches with horror as the massive werewolf takes out Nightweaver with one solid hit. So shocked is she that she barely notices the bullets spanging off her protective wards.

He'd shrugged off one spell, but now he was hurt, even if only briefly. Maybe, just maybe, that would give her an opening. If not...this could be getting into a whole world of pain.

Swallowing her fear, Viridian races around the edge of the pit and shouts, "Hey! Yo Quiero Chihuahua Man! I guess you think that makes you pretty tough, huh?!"

Turn and look at me...just turn and look at me...

The moment the werewolf looks in her direction, Viridian locks eyes...her emerald to his bloodshot yellow...and snarls, "Maleficus!"

A tinge of guilt. Dark magic. Black magic. But this was to protect people...didn't that count for something?

Then the power of the spell took hold...the curse roiled out of her and through the connection made by their locked gazes. If it worked, if she could hold him, it would wrack his body with spasms and seizures, using his own strength and power to fuel itself. Regeneration would be useless. No medical science would cure it. But only IF.

(Evil Eye, Mental Blast, sense-dependent on sight. Reflex save 21 to avert eyes in time. Will save DC 26, with consequences as per damage save if ref fails.)
 

Well, isn't that just great, Shooting Star watches in dismay as the werewolf leader heals himself. At least I can fly well out of his reach - maybe that's why I suck on teams. Hopefully shadow girl will climb out of that building in a sec. Time to change plans. With luck, skinny here is used to me circling in this direction.

Shooting Star suddenly dives and rolls out to come up behind the Sheik. Megan rakes his back and wings with a short burst, then veers. Darting around erraticly, she engages the poor winged flyer in a battle of manuever, attempting to dodge away from his sight lines - and then pop off a few shots whenever he can't see.

(Move Action: Acrobatic Feint +15. Target: Sheik. Standard Action: Plasma Orbs . +14 attack, +8 damage (+3 Penetrating). Autofire 2, Homing 2, Precise Shot. Target: Sheik.

Def: 23/15. Elusive Target.

HP 1. Bruised -1.)
 

Angel last round:

Not afraid of the big bad wolf Angel says, 'Lycans! Now that has been a while..." his ring transforms into a sword that glows wioth light as he wields it to strike the Lead Lycan.

OOC: Swoop in and use move by attack to take a swing at the big bad wolf and any other bad wolfies he can get near him (autofire) while then moving to place himself behind some cover, and out of their easy reach afterward. Pay attentouin to the sniper guy whn doign this - try to give him a no/poor shot. All out attack +4, power attack +2

Next round: If he was effective then repeat, unelss one of the home team is dying or down, in which case then move and heal doing his best to stay out of the fray..
