One attack on The Professional, he <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309133" target="_blank">misses</a>.  Fool.  Went for higher ground but there's no bonus for it!  Ahem.A Rat Packer a bit to the southwest of the 'Chaser opens fire on Fracture.  A few bullets hit the vehicle just over his head, but come nowhere near him.  The Rat Pack are trained, but it's obvious that they're rattled.  Regardless, one of them has a bit of moxie.  He throws a small oval shaped device no larger than an egg at the feet of Fracture.  One thought goes through his head.  Grenade.  He moves quickly, trying to jump clear of the explosion.  But he's almost too slow.  The explosion propels him forward, shrapnel flying everywhere.  But Fracture somehow twists in mid-air and controls the jump.  He lands on his feet, none the worse for wear.  One opens fire on Fracture but<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309143" target="_blank"> misses</a>.  Reflex save vs. grenade <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309149" target="_blank">fails</a> by one.  Ouch, another bad roll.  Thankfully he has Evasion, so he only takes half damage.  He makes the toughness roll <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309150" target="_blank">easily</a>.  End of Rat Packs turn.  But Fracture doesn't stop.  He continues running and then leaps into the air.  A distinctive *scrunch!* is heard as bone blades erupt from his hands.  One of the Rat Packers sees him coming, and stands - almost as if to flee.  But he is too late.  Two jagged pieces of bone slide through his upper chest, pinning him against the wall to a security hut.  The man shrieks as he realizes his clavicle has been shattered in two different places.  Fracture releases him and he falls to the ground.  Still conscious (though barely), he looks up at Fracture standing above him.  Through blood-stained lips he says, "Who... are... you?"  Fracture easily <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309153" target="_blank">hits(1d20+12=30)</a>.  Rat Packer fails his toughness roll <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309154" target="_blank">miserably. (1d20+6=11)</a>Then Verdant enters the battle.  He calmly surveys the fighting, and picks his opponent with a nod.  He reaches his hand out, and with an odd grinding noise, it stretches and grabs the soldier that fired on The Professional.  The arm itself seems composed of some type of bark-like flesh, with an occasional green vine wrapped around it.  The hand literally dwarfs the soldier.  There's a *crunch* sound, and the soldier begins to yell out something, but it's too muffled to understand.  He's not going anywhere. Verdant <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309156" target="_blank">hits easily (1d20+8=28)</a>.  Grapple check for Verdant is <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309157" target="_blank"> (1d20+9=25)</a>, and for the Rat Packer it's a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=309158" target="_blank">1! Wow. (1d20+1=2)</a>.  He's grappled, to be sure.  I'm assuming you're pinning him for now.Next up: Twister, SHIELD, and Kaiju.  Feel free to start with round 3 moves.  You've taken out about 1/3 of the forces you know of.  I would write more, but I have to do some work!  Edit - as an aside, Citizen V's initiative is 19.</blockquote>
