Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Barrington says "Out of the bike. Now."

Daedalus and Shooting Star are halfway to the museum already.

Crap. What happened to Bowman? No time to worry about that now, I guess. Nitro says into his commlink "We've been attacked by Control Freak, Barrington, and Necro-Panzer. Bowman's Bike was crashed into the side of a building. Could use some help, Star and Daedalus."
He whispers over to Raven "Where's the rest of the League? We could use some backup."

Then he turns to Barrington. "Why don't you make me. You killed Spirit, I presume. No more killing defenseless women, slimebag."

With that Nitro claps his hands together, creating a huge shockwave to hit the three supervillains in front of him. But it throws Nitro off balance, or so it seems to NekroPanzer.

(OOC: Assuming they're all within 110 feet, then: Shockwave on the supervillains.

Acrobatic Bluff as a move action to Trick NecroPanzer into thinking that Nito has tripped from the force of the Shockwave. If that works and then he attacks me and misses, using Redirect to make him hit himself. Interpose on any attack on Raven. Using Ultimate Toughness on any attack that hits me for 16+ damage).

Raven says "They're busy. Several major terrorist events...Lebanon, Sri Lanka, the Philippines...lots of places...but perhaps we can talk about this later..."

Barrington is quick on the draw.

"Time to beat on two more defenseless women, then," he says, as he extends both hands. Both circlets glow and cones of telekinetic energy blast Nirto and Raven. Nitro jumps out of the vehicle and uses it for cover, and is not harmed, but it catches Raven as she tries to do so, throwing her into air conditioning unit, pieces of which go flying as she bounces off and falls helplessly to the ground. (First hit: Stunned, Bruised; Knockback: Bruised, Stunned, Staggered, Unconscious).

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" taunts the girldroid, as she pulls out a ray gun and shoots at Nitro, missing.

Barrington is quick on the draw.

"Time to beat on two more defenseless women, then," he says, as he extends both hands.

"F*ck you, you piece of sh*t carbuncle. You're going down."

 

[DM_Matt]

"F*ck you, you piece of sh*t carbuncle. You're going down."

Nitro gets up and claps his hands together and fires back with a shockwave of his own.

Nekro stands his ground, as does Barrington. As the energy washes over him, Barrington's webbed orange forcefield becomes visible. Both are unharmed. The android, on the other hand, is blasted off the building.

Nitro successfully tricks Neko into thinking he is tripping himself. The machinery behind Nekro's right hand spins up, and his hand shoots out on a chain, with a spin. Nekro is trying to pull it back in to have it hit Nitro from behind, but Nitro, underestimated by the zombie, dodges it easily, and Nekro hits himself on the rebound before managing to reel the thing in. (Bruised)

(I'm assuming that Shooting Star and Daedalus are at least close to see what's happening back with the grav bikes.)

Shooting Star nods in assent to Daedalus's suggestion and accompanies the armored legend. He knew how fast I am. That's flattering. Well, actually, since you have no steady income, didn't display much moral fiber, etc, they probably think you're about one bad day from - The sound of the crash catches up to the flying heroes - What was that? Uh oh.

Megan yells to Daedalus and into the comm, "We're getting ambushed on the way to the museum!" just as the channel comes alive with Nitro's explanation. Oops, shouldn't talk over people. She reverses direction, then kicks herself around to change orientation. "Coming."

Tearing across the city, Shooting Star pulls into range (assuming that's possible) - and also close enough to get a decent look at Barrington's armor. Oh Sh-! He looks dressed to kill. Us. Oh Sh-! I wish I got a chance to look at those holoprojectors, see if he really is immune. This could be worse than White Knight. Sh-! He tortured Spirit to death - burned her face off. Sh-! I don't want to die like that! She lights the rooftop with a volley of dazzling strobe flashes, aimed mostly at Barrington and NekroPanzer. Then Megan pours on the speed and zooms away, trailing a shockwave. He dropped Spirit in one shot. I can't let him get a clear shot on me.

(Move Action: Move to within ~1000ft of the battle on the roof. Use Moveby. Then head away at a right angle and try to put something between herself and Barrington - if she has enough movement using her full 10000 feet.)

(Standard Action: AP: Flaring: Dazzle (visual) +11 Area (Burst 55 ft radius) Selective Attack. Should hit Barrington and NekroPanzer, plus any other baddies of opportunity.)

(Defense 23/15. Toughness: +9. HP 2.)

So what's the team at the museum doing?

And on that note, Hope is on the other side of one of the magnetic walls, blocked from the exhibit. She hears stuff going on behind it, but cannot see what.

BTW, a note on ritual. Hope can do a ritual to gain an AP off one of her other spell arrays. It would be DC16, so she makes it on a 1, and it takes one round to do if she spends a hero point. Compared to using that hero point to power stunt the spell, it has the advantage of lasting the entire encounter instead of until she stops using it, and the disadvantage of requiring a round to do the ritual (rather than instantly), and the need to make a check, which is in this case moot since she always makes it.

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.
