Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Hope hears the bomb threat on the Aegis issue cb in her car and does her best to get there as fast as she can. As soon as she gets there, she races to the museam, noting that the evac has already begun. Her eyes narrow dangerously and she tries to slip into the museum unnoticed. If she is tagged by a guard, she'll flash her badge.

This is bad. I doubt it's a bomb threat. Probably a heist.

Magically, what sort of spells can Hope perform through the ritualistic feat?

Rituals take a long time to set up. On the spot rituals can be done for a hero point, require a check at DC15+point cost, and takes one round per point cost.

Was wondering what sort of spells she could do really when she does have time to set up a ritual....

Anyway, she'll make do with her weather based magic she has natural access to.

Hope flips open her trust phone. "I'm at the museum. There's a bomb threat, but I think it's probably a heist. Have your bomb squad on standby though," she says quietly before slipping into the place. Or at least trying to. She had never had the need to be quiet as mouse in brittle leaves.

She finds that her AEGIS ID is sufficient to grant her access to the premises, though she has to park down the street. They have sealed the parking structure to look for bombs.

Both Optic and Viridian can sneak around corners the change, but they'll have to hide from security.


They manage to duck into a janitor's closet. Optic can watch what's going on through the door using X-Ray vision.
 

Hope knows that their efforts are probably futile, but gives the bad-guys props for getting most everyone out before they engage in general mayhem. But she wasn't a fool, she knew it wasn't out of altruism.

More like not wanting to have to deal with the idiots once they started panicking. she thought wryly as she walked into the museum. Nothing more dangerous than people.

"Now, If I was a supervillian, what whould I hit first?" she said outloud and decides to head for the Eye of Hell exhibit. If Barrington was going to hit the joint, he'd head there first. And then loot the place of all the nifty magical stuff he could grab, then go for the expensive baubles if he had time.
 

Good, we'll have 3 members of the Freedom League with us. Shooting Star adds, "I can fly myself. I'll meet you up by the roof, then we'll head there together?" She'll then execute her own plan. While waiting in the air for the others to get to the cycles, Megan fiddles with her comlink. "Testing..." What did I pick again? "Argent here."
 

In the closet, Thessaly is a bit embarrassed and quickly invokes the spell that changes her appearance to Viridian. Her super-persona's appearance is very similar to her own, sans glasses and with different clothes, since the simple magic of it can't change her appearance much...not even enough to conceal her blush from being stuck in a closet with a not uncute guy.

"Alright," she says briskly, trying to shrug it off, "So...are we just going to stay in here until trouble starts? I expect the police would probably kick us out even in costume, right?"
 

At the museum...

Metal security gates come down, blocking off the various exhibits form each other. They bond to mangetic strips in the floor. Suddenly black flames appear in the air, quickly coalescing into three individuals who are easily recognized from the files you've seen previously:

Faust -- A handsome, extremely well-groomed man, apparently around 30, but in fact much older, with an open black robe over his black pants, red shirt, and gold vest

White Knight -- a tall man in a white KKK outfit with a red cross drawn on his chest and tall, black, steel-toed boots. His body glows and emits much heat.

Blitzkrieg -- a young-looking man in a body suit decorated to look like a WWII era German tank commander's uniform with a huge lightning bolt on his chest.

Blitzkrieg starts darting around at amazing speeds swiping objects and putting them in a sack, while Faust gets rid of the barriers. with a wave of his hand, he seems able to rust the security gates until they are so brittle that Blitzkrieg's momentum can shatter them easily.

White Knight is grabbing things too, but is mostly just looking around for trouble.

Meanwhile...

The Freedom League leads Nitro and Shooting Star into the elevator and up to the fourth floor. Daedalus tells Shooting Star that she's faster than the SkyBikes, and asks her to fly with him (he's is also faster than the bikes). I presume that Nitro chooses to ride with Raven rather than Bowman.

As you take the bikes towards the Museum, the SkyBike starts slowing down and drifting in the air. Raven turns to Nitro and says "Something's wrong..." Raven notices Control Freak on a roof behind you too late. He is wearing blue and black power armor and seems to be directing a metal ball through the air magnetically with a gloved hand. The ball strikes Bowman's bike and explodes in an electrical flash. The bike loses altitude and crashes into the building in front of you. The bike with Raven and Nitro on it slows and spins in midair as it continues nears an area between two buildings. It moves towards a landing on one of them. "Damn, a gravity net!" Raven shouts as she tries to control the vehicle "They must know how to counter Daedalus' propulsion system!..."Get ready for a fight."

The SkyBike lands on the roof of one building. Barrington and NekroPanzer, a giant zombie cyborg with mechanical devices around his fists and armor covering where his flesh aint so fresh, step out the roof door, along with a young woman in a schoolgirl uniform who you recognize as one of Doc Otaku's androids. She is holding some kind of remote control.

Barrington looks different. He is no longer wearing a suit. He is wearing red and gold power armor with runes all over, many from religions he's practiced in the past. Especially prominent are the two swastikas, one on each side of his chest, each right next to the clasps for a long red cape. Also prominent is a flaming fist holding a hammer and two lightning bolts. He lacks a helmet per se, but wears a crown with slightly in-curling, horn-like spines and a giant ruby in the center above his eyes. His long black hair bright blue eyes are exposed. His bears is partially covered with a black and white scarf with a pattern that actually looks like it may be formed form lots of little human figures. The armor covers his chest, his forearms arms, and parts of his legs, with part of his limbs instead being covered in red cloth. His gauntlets seem to incorporate the device he used earlier, as he seems to have ivory circlets on his palms.

Barrington says "Out of the bike. Now."

Daedalus and Shooting star are halfway to the museum already.
 

Hearing the commotion, Viridian doesn't wait for an answer to her last question.

"Nevermind, I think they're playing our song."

Making sure her amulet's protection is active, she bursts out of the closet and chants an invocation as she hurls a fistful of salt at the White Knight, attempting to capture the villain inside a warded circle...and hoping that'll put him out of the fight, at least for a little while.
