Then the girls come upon a horrible sight, two men in full-body bio-containment suits, with ten foot long metal poles that have a metal and plastic rope-loop at the ends are looping these devices around Raven’s neck! Raven also looks to have a horrible head wound, but they sees that it is quickly healing over… the buzzing in Cassie’s head is worst here also and it seems to be coming from a ‘door’ that is has been open out of the middle of thin-air just past Raven. A man in robes is standing just past the door in what looks to be a laboratory of some kind. Next to the door is a man wearing a black trench coat and gloves, who instead of having a bald head, has a glass plate exposing a pink pulsing brain inside!

The loops each have the <strong>Neutralize</strong> (requiring a Will or highest Power Rank save) and the <strong>Stun</strong> (requiring a Fortitude save) power on them. Raven needs to make two Will saves (as that is higher then any of her power ranks) and two Fortitude saves! Also the have the affects of Improved Grapple and Improved Pin with the looped poles. Grapple tests for the two are 24 and 18 vs. Raven’s Strength or Escape Artist (so Raven also needs to make two Strength or Escape artist (DEX defaults) at -4 to not be Pinned! (note that you can use Mental powers just fine when grappled IF you make the two Neutralize tests, against not posting DC so if you want to spend a Hero Point to re-roll)</span></p><p>Energy arcs through the metal and plastic, coursing through Raven’s body!</p><p></p><p>Red Tornado shakily sits up and says “<strong>Surrender villain, you can not hope to stand against us all!</strong>” </p><p><span style="color: red">Red Tornado becomes unstunned this round, can only take a free action, so he talks</span></p><p></p><p>Psimon shakes his head and scouts “<strong>You are all SOOO DEAD!</strong>” </p><p><span style="color: red">Psimon becomes unstunned but can take no actions this round except Free.

Damage save vs. 21 (-11 protection) is not required as it is reduced below +0. The critical is 26, so vs. DC15L (after his protection reduces it, note also this is a Lethal hit so Mammoth’s stun hits do not reduce his Damage save) so he gets a 23 makes it</span></p><p>…the first simply bounces off the brute thick skin while the second burns him a bit he seems not to care “<strong>YOU WILL DIE!</strong>” he shots staring at Superboy with hate filled eyes and readies to charge! </p><p></p><p>Terra shakes off the effects of the explosion and calls up a rock shield to protect her “<strong>Did someone get the number of that bus?</strong>”…</p><p><span style="color: red">Become unstunned this round, only can take a free action, activates her force field</span></p><p></p><p>Shimmer waves her hands and shoots a brownish-black wave of noxious fumes at Batgirl…</p><p><span style="color: red">DEX at -4, so two less DEF but with focusing your Dodge on Shimmer it is only one less. She of course assumes you cannot move out of the way of this and Attack roll is 11? Spending a Villain point (because she really dislikes Batgirl right now) is natural 20! (yikes and away number 4!) for a 28. Batgirl’s Fortitude save vs. very smelly stuff that seems to be trying to form in her lungs. Rolling 12 +1 =13 not enough. Suffocation starts taking affect, but I will edit if Batgirl makes her roll, Stunned this round and will go unconscious next round if Fail your next check and then start to die the round after that! BUT note that the DC is fairly hard for Batgirl to make… also see below <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> you can spend a Hero Point to become unstunned or you will lose your next action… just as an FYI</span></p><p>…causing the young Titian to gag and stagger, chocking on the gasses and mass trying to form in her lungs!</p><p></p><p>Impulse comes running back into the food count and surveying the situation races upstairs to strike the last bazooka wielder, aiming at Superboy…</p><p><span style="color: red">Double move to get to thug, using Heroic surge to get an extra half-action and attacks, attack roll 9+8 =17 a hit, Damage save for thug vs. DC23S (-3 armor) is a 6, fails</span></p><p>…slamming his fist into the man’s face about a hundred times the terrorist falls to the ground battered and out.</p><p></p><p>Nightwing’s eyes snap open and he flips to his feet. Instantly taking in the situation he starts issuing orders to the Titans “<strong>Batgirl, Starfire take that woman out, Arsenal the dwarf, Risk help him. Impulse can you take the last of the thugs on the ground. Robin what’s your situation kid? Can you handle it?</strong>” he then takes out two razor-wings and throws them into the flying terrorists above…</p><p><span style="color: red">Nightwing Instant Stands and uses Leadership as free actions. Everyone in the Food Court after Nightwing now gets a +1 bonus to all rolls (attack, saves, skills). Rapid Shot against flying thugs, one with the bazooka and one with an assault rifle. Attack rolls 4+12 -2+1=15 and 19+12-2+1=30, two hits. Damage saves vs. DC23L (-3 armor) is 9 and 6, both failing</span></p><p>…and dropping two out of the sky! </p><p></p><p>Arsenal snarls “<strong>Hey twerp ever eaten an arrow?!</strong>” and shots an arrow straight at Gizmo!</p><p><span style="color: red">Taunt against Gizmo, rolling 12+8+1=21 vs. Gizmo’s Taunt or Sense Motive check, is a 9. Gizmo is now flat-footed. Attack roll 14+12+1 =27 a hit. Damaging save vs. DC20L (-4 for his armor BUT he is flat-footed so he can’t use Evasion!) is 5! OK using a Villain point to re-roll, getting less then a 10, so he gets that. Takes a lethal hit AND is stunned <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></span></p><p>…catching the dwarf in the shoulder the arrow bites into him and he cries out in pain and falls back onto the rubble he was standing on!</p><p></p><p>Jinx (who seems to have no trouble with the oily darkness) mutters “<strong><em>Goul Qist Mul Ar’Gorth</em></strong>” and Robin feels rather then sees a hot fiery weapon rushing at him…</p><p><span style="color: red">Attack roll, against Robin’s flat-footed DEF (which is really high due to Combat Sense) is a 16 a miss!</span></p><p>…and at the last moment he moves out of it way.

You will pay in pain!</strong>”</p><p></p><p>Gizmo becomes unstunned and stands instantly to his feet but is still a bit shaken and can’t seem to do anything else! “<strong>You’ll pay for that Bow-Brain!</strong>”</p><p><span style="color: red">Gizmo already spent a villain point this round, so all he gets to do is take a free action (Instant Stand) and he is no longer flat-footed (so he can use his Evasion against Risk yea!)</span></p><p></p><p>Robin, remaining silent, swings his staff at the sorceress…</p><p><span style="color: red">No need for a listen check this round as she was cursing him and stuff, Power Attack -5 to hit +5 to damage; Attack roll 9+12+1-5 =18 a hit. 50/50 to see if he misses, rolls a 3 a hit. Damage save vs. DC26 (-10 force field) is a 10 (d’oh 2 stun already!) missing it by 6. Jinx takes a Stun hit and is Stunned!</span></p><p>…catching her with a solid shot she screams and falls back… and the oily shadows disappear! Revealing Jinx as she staggers back and falls 20 feet from Robin.</p><p></p><p>Starfire again strikes at Shimmer, now more desperate as her new roommate is starting to choke before her very eyes! Her first blast misses and destroys a near by table that somehow escaped the early carnage but her second strikes true… </p><p><span style="color: red">Power attack Shimmer’s damage save vs. DC30! Rolling an 18, missing it by 12!? AND she spend a Villain point this round to hit Batgirl soooo. Shimmer now has 5 lethal hits and is Disabled <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></span></p><p>…slamming her square in the chest and knocking back 20 some feet.

Attack roll is 13+11+2+1-3=24 a hit. Damage save for Gizmo vs. DC28L (-5 for his armor, two less for two lethal hits BUT he gets to use Evasion) is 17, misses it by 6. D’oh. Takes another Stun hit and is Stunned again</span></p><p>Punching with lethal force, his blow sends Gizmo flying back through a glass window some 60 feet away!</p><p></p><p>Two flying goons fire full automatic weapons to try and take out Nightwing…</p><p><span style="color: red">Attack roll for 1st (4, 14, and 14) 2nd (16, 14, and 10) all misses</span></p><p>…but he easily evades their fire.</p><p></p><p>The final two terrorist on the ground opening up on Impulse, hoping to take him out before he takes them out…</p><p><span style="color: red">Attack rolls for 1st thug (4, 7, 8) and (20, 18, and 17) all misses</span></p><p>…but they don’t even come close to the speedster teen.</p><p></p><p>Mammoth, frothing at the mouth now, charges Superboy screaming incoherently….</p><p><span style="color: red">Charging +2 to attack -2 to DEF, Power Attack -5 to attack +5 to damage, Ramming +3 to damage.

Almost no change of catching or destroy it all. Retreat is the best option. NOW there are a few stunned and paralyzed Heroes and Villains around… PLUS at least ten or so civilians who are also in harms way. Hawk, Dove and Aqualad are out of the area but will see and hear it happening and there are a few people that they can see also (civilians and unconscious terrorist) within the area who could be buried).

The loops each have the [b]Neutralize[/b] (requiring a Will or highest Power Rank save) and the [b]Stun[/b] (requiring a Fortitude save) power on them. Raven needs to make two Will saves (as that is higher then any of her power ranks) and two Fortitude saves! Also the have the affects of Improved Grapple and Improved Pin with the looped poles. Grapple tests for the two are 24 and 18 vs. Raven’s Strength or Escape Artist (so Raven also needs to make two Strength or Escape artist (DEX defaults) at -4 to not be Pinned! (note that you can use Mental powers just fine when grappled IF you make the two Neutralize tests, against not posting DC so if you want to spend a Hero Point to re-roll)[/color] Energy arcs through the metal and plastic, coursing through Raven’s body! Red Tornado shakily sits up and says “[b]Surrender villain, you can not hope to stand against us all![/b]” [color=red]Red Tornado becomes unstunned this round, can only take a free action, so he talks[/color] Psimon shakes his head and scouts “[b]You are all SOOO DEAD![/b]” [color=red]Psimon becomes unstunned but can take no actions this round except Free. He reactivates his Force Field around him, that’s all![/color] FOOD COURT Batgirl, her feet stuck in the oozing mud, flicks a razor-wing straight at Shimmer, striking her… [color=red]Damage save for Shimmer vs. a DC23L (three less for her Three lethal hits) is a 21, missing by 2, and taking another Lethal hit[/color] …slashing into the shoulder. She hisses in pain but does not fall “[b]You wont be throwing any more of those things choking on your own S#!@ little girl![/b]” Argent, her body refusing to obey her wishes, struggles to stand… [color=red]Will save to recover from being Paralyzed, +2 this round, and gets an 11?? Fails[/color] …but she cannot and collapse back onto the ground in pain Superboy, standing up through the debris piled on top of him, his eyes glowing an angry red and flashing a beam of energy across the distance to strike Mammoth twice in the chest… [color=red]Attack roll for Rapid Shot, 5+8 -2=11 miss and natural 20 (damn that is like the third one so far!) a critical. Damage save vs. 21 (-11 protection) is not required as it is reduced below +0. The critical is 26, so vs. DC15L (after his protection reduces it, note also this is a Lethal hit so Mammoth’s stun hits do not reduce his Damage save) so he gets a 23 makes it[/color] …the first simply bounces off the brute thick skin while the second burns him a bit he seems not to care “[b]YOU WILL DIE![/b]” he shots staring at Superboy with hate filled eyes and readies to charge! Terra shakes off the effects of the explosion and calls up a rock shield to protect her “[b]Did someone get the number of that bus?[/b]”… [color=red]Become unstunned this round, only can take a free action, activates her force field[/color] Shimmer waves her hands and shoots a brownish-black wave of noxious fumes at Batgirl… [color=red]DEX at -4, so two less DEF but with focusing your Dodge on Shimmer it is only one less. She of course assumes you cannot move out of the way of this and Attack roll is 11? Spending a Villain point (because she really dislikes Batgirl right now) is natural 20! (yikes and away number 4!) for a 28. Batgirl’s Fortitude save vs. very smelly stuff that seems to be trying to form in her lungs. Rolling 12 +1 =13 not enough. Suffocation starts taking affect, but I will edit if Batgirl makes her roll, Stunned this round and will go unconscious next round if Fail your next check and then start to die the round after that! BUT note that the DC is fairly hard for Batgirl to make… also see below ;) you can spend a Hero Point to become unstunned or you will lose your next action… just as an FYI[/color] …causing the young Titian to gag and stagger, chocking on the gasses and mass trying to form in her lungs! Impulse comes running back into the food count and surveying the situation races upstairs to strike the last bazooka wielder, aiming at Superboy… [color=red]Double move to get to thug, using Heroic surge to get an extra half-action and attacks, attack roll 9+8 =17 a hit, Damage save for thug vs. DC23S (-3 armor) is a 6, fails[/color] …slamming his fist into the man’s face about a hundred times the terrorist falls to the ground battered and out. Nightwing’s eyes snap open and he flips to his feet. Instantly taking in the situation he starts issuing orders to the Titans “[b]Batgirl, Starfire take that woman out, Arsenal the dwarf, Risk help him. Impulse can you take the last of the thugs on the ground. Robin what’s your situation kid? Can you handle it?[/b]” he then takes out two razor-wings and throws them into the flying terrorists above… [color=red]Nightwing Instant Stands and uses Leadership as free actions. Everyone in the Food Court after Nightwing now gets a +1 bonus to all rolls (attack, saves, skills). Rapid Shot against flying thugs, one with the bazooka and one with an assault rifle. Attack rolls 4+12 -2+1=15 and 19+12-2+1=30, two hits. Damage saves vs. DC23L (-3 armor) is 9 and 6, both failing[/color] …and dropping two out of the sky! Arsenal snarls “[b]Hey twerp ever eaten an arrow?![/b]” and shots an arrow straight at Gizmo! [color=red]Taunt against Gizmo, rolling 12+8+1=21 vs. Gizmo’s Taunt or Sense Motive check, is a 9. Gizmo is now flat-footed. Attack roll 14+12+1 =27 a hit. Damaging save vs. DC20L (-4 for his armor BUT he is flat-footed so he can’t use Evasion!) is 5! OK using a Villain point to re-roll, getting less then a 10, so he gets that. Takes a lethal hit AND is stunned :([/color] …catching the dwarf in the shoulder the arrow bites into him and he cries out in pain and falls back onto the rubble he was standing on! Jinx (who seems to have no trouble with the oily darkness) mutters “[b][i]Goul Qist Mul Ar’Gorth[/i][/b][i][/i]” and Robin feels rather then sees a hot fiery weapon rushing at him… [color=red]Attack roll, against Robin’s flat-footed DEF (which is really high due to Combat Sense) is a 16 a miss![/color] …and at the last moment he moves out of it way. Jinx curses “[b]Damn you I am wasting all my time on one little foe and not killing as I should be…oh you will pay for this young foe! You will pay in pain![/b]” Gizmo becomes unstunned and stands instantly to his feet but is still a bit shaken and can’t seem to do anything else! “[b]You’ll pay for that Bow-Brain![/b]” [color=red]Gizmo already spent a villain point this round, so all he gets to do is take a free action (Instant Stand) and he is no longer flat-footed (so he can use his Evasion against Risk yea!)[/color] Robin, remaining silent, swings his staff at the sorceress… [color=red]No need for a listen check this round as she was cursing him and stuff, Power Attack -5 to hit +5 to damage; Attack roll 9+12+1-5 =18 a hit. 50/50 to see if he misses, rolls a 3 a hit. Damage save vs. DC26 (-10 force field) is a 10 (d’oh 2 stun already!) missing it by 6. Jinx takes a Stun hit and is Stunned![/color] …catching her with a solid shot she screams and falls back… and the oily shadows disappear! Revealing Jinx as she staggers back and falls 20 feet from Robin. Starfire again strikes at Shimmer, now more desperate as her new roommate is starting to choke before her very eyes! Her first blast misses and destroys a near by table that somehow escaped the early carnage but her second strikes true… [color=red]Power attack Shimmer’s damage save vs. DC30! Rolling an 18, missing it by 12!? AND she spend a Villain point this round to hit Batgirl soooo. Shimmer now has 5 lethal hits and is Disabled :([/color] …slamming her square in the chest and knocking back 20 some feet. Shimmer screams and hits the ground hard. Risk races across the distant separating him and Gizmo and slams his fist into the dwarf’s face “[b]EAT THIS PECK![/b]” [color=red]Attack roll, charging, power attack -3 to attack +3 to damage. Attack roll is 13+11+2+1-3=24 a hit. Damage save for Gizmo vs. DC28L (-5 for his armor, two less for two lethal hits BUT he gets to use Evasion) is 17, misses it by 6. D’oh. Takes another Stun hit and is Stunned again[/color] Punching with lethal force, his blow sends Gizmo flying back through a glass window some 60 feet away! Two flying goons fire full automatic weapons to try and take out Nightwing… [color=red]Attack roll for 1st (4, 14, and 14) 2nd (16, 14, and 10) all misses[/color] …but he easily evades their fire. The final two terrorist on the ground opening up on Impulse, hoping to take him out before he takes them out… [color=red]Attack rolls for 1st thug (4, 7, 8) and (20, 18, and 17) all misses[/color] …but they don’t even come close to the speedster teen. Mammoth, frothing at the mouth now, charges Superboy screaming incoherently…. [color=red]Charging +2 to attack -2 to DEF, Power Attack -5 to attack +5 to damage, Ramming +3 to damage. Attack roll is 19+2-5= 16 a miss![/color] …but the boy of steel is able to move out of the way of his head long charge slamming through yet another support column… and this time it is to much, the roof above the mall’s Food Count starts to fall and cave in, as tons of steel and concrete creek and moan and crack. [color=red]OK everyone in the Food Court part of the Mall will now notice that the ceiling is going to fall in at the end of NEXT round and do lots of damage. Almost no change of catching or destroy it all. Retreat is the best option. NOW there are a few stunned and paralyzed Heroes and Villains around… PLUS at least ten or so civilians who are also in harms way. Hawk, Dove and Aqualad are out of the area but will see and hear it happening and there are a few people that they can see also (civilians and unconscious terrorist) within the area who could be buried). Actions for you!! Those in the B&N Bookstore hear all this but are in no danger[/color] Nightwing shots “[b]Get as many of the civilians out of here as possible people! Starfire get Argent! Terra, Superboy can you can hold the roof up for even a few seconds![/b]” 2ND FLOOR OUTSIDE SPORTING GOOD STORE (ft NE of the Food Court) Hawk waits for Aqualad and Dove as he continues to hear the carnage and destruction happening not to far away in the food court… [color=red]Hawk heals a lethal hit and only has 1 remaining now[/color] Dove steps up to Aqualad, who says “[b]It is nothing we must hurry to assist our allies and do not have time for battle field medics now…[/b]” and then his eyes grow wide with awe as Dove’s mere touch heals the wound over. Aqualad nods his head to Dove “[b]Let us go then…[/b]” but as he starts to move towards the court, the three all hear and see that the roof is not going to hold… and that there are civilians and others hiding or laying about in the area where the roof will crush them if no one does nothing… [color=yellow]For my records I have spent a total of [b]14[/b] Villain points so far. Conditions of NPC’s… Mammoth has taken three Stun hits Simmer has taken five Lethal hits and is Disabled Gizmo has taken three Lethal hit and is Stunned Psimon has taken three Stun hits and a Lethal hit Jinx has taken a three Stun hits and is Stunned Robin has a Lethal hit (still an NPC?) Argent is paralyzed Terra has taken a Lethal hit Red Tornado has a Stun hit Cyborg and Aqualad have both been healed their lethal hits [b]Actions?[/b][/color][b][/b] [/QUOTE]
