Genesis, Fusion, Tendril
OOC: We're just writing Torque out completely and continuing as if only Genesis, Fusion, and Tendril are present at the lighthouse.
The three heroes -- Genesis, Fusion, and Tendril -- press through the pounding rain and howling wind toward the lighthouse's front door. The thunderous crash of the surf mixes with the booms of thunder. Tendril presses the buzzer next to the door. About a minute passes before a plainly dressed man in his mid-30s pushes the door open against the force of the wind.
"Quick! Quick!" he yells over the weather. "Inside!"
Once everyone is in, he lets the door slam shut with a crash like a shotgun blast. Just the brief time he had the door was enough to soak the half his body exposed to the rain.
"Geez Louise!" he says once he gets a good look at who he let in. "Is there some sort of trouble?"
The heroes and the half-soaked man are standing in a narrow hallway, about five feet wide, about 15 feet long. Three doors lead off the hall, one to the left, one to the right, and one at the very end of the hall. The overhead flourescent lighting flickers just slightly.
OOC: Everyone make Notice checks, please. Include the results with your next post.

Genesis flicks off the nightvision enhancement and eyes the man, taking note of his outfit and...remembering Foreshadow...looking to see if there's anything unusual about his skin. She keeps her tone light for the moment though.
"Helluva storm isn't it!" she tells him. "We went to the gatehouse first, but looks like the guy's on break or in the john or something. I'm Genesis. Good to meetcha, mister...?"

"K, that's it. I'm all for property damage, but you bozo's is gettin on my nerves!" Rumble unleashes a powerful backhand on the moron that just charged him.

Tendril
"Trouble yes, you could say that. Although right now we're not really sure what the cause is."
Tendril looks the man and the surroundings over, paying attention to see if he is alone. She makes no attempt to hide her vines now.

Fusion
You should've noticed his flesh! The way his flesh wriiiIII--!
The last words of Foreshadow are still on Fiona's mind, now more than ever. She carefully looks at the man, hoping to see what they have been warned about. Was it this man he meant, or someone else. She couldn't say. She had to stay watchful.
“Yes, pretty bad weather today. Are you alright out here?”
OOC: Sorry, missed that the thread has been updated...

Actually, I've just been terribly busy and tired lately. Fortunately, I'm off work for the next several days. I will update the game tomorrow.

Genesis, Fusion, Tendril
As the heroes address the half-soaked man, the door at the end of hall opens and two more men enter. One is obviously the security guard. He is drenched from the rain. Water drips and pools at his feet. The other is an older, balding man with thick glasses and rumpled khaki pants.
"Everything okay out here, Doug?" the security guard asks.
"Oh, sure, just fine, I think," replies the half-drenched man who opened the door. "These -- er, heroes? -- think there might be some sort of problem here. Any problems, Bill?"
The balding man shakes his head. As he does so, Genesis and Fusion notice a bulge about the size of a man's thumb beneath his flesh scurry from behind his ear, across his temple, and over the top of his head to vanish somewhere towards the back from where is hairline hasn't vanished. The balding man seems utterly oblivious to this grotesque subdermal motion.

Rumble
OOC: I'm shorthanding the fight to make up for lost time since it's extremely unlikely Rumble would lose. Give Rumble a Hero Point for his trouble.
The slap sends the creature pinwheeling through the rain-sliced air. Its monstrous body ripples and twists as it hits a cable, and then the creature simply melts. The resulting flood of slime and offal is quickly washed away by the downpour. The other two monsters fly backward several yards. Their fanged maws gape wide -- too wide, as if their jaw bones are just for show -- and then belch forth lightning!
Rumble dodges to the side as one crackling blast of electricity singes across his back. The shock is uncomfortable, but not otherwise harmful. The second creature doesn't target Rumble. Its bolt of lightning dances across the rooftop, exploding the metal bolts of the already swaying tower's support cables. With a twang! the cables give way, and the rushing wind collapses the tower. Metal cables whip through the air, suddenly free from the tension and weight they once supported.
After this, the monsters return their undivided attention to Rumble. The battle is fierce but one-sided. After the last blow is struck, Rumble stands alone. The damage to the rooftop is not inconsiderable. Suddenly, the service door bangs open and two uniformed men with pistols drawn enter the scene.
"Don't move!" one of them shouts.
