I think I've worked out what it was - we had been going up with +20pp each PL (plus an extra 10pp gained from the first episode), so had a little more extra than would otherwise with each rank up. Sheet is readied up for next chapter (I think!)

Advanced up to PL14 20pp (Advanced to PL14): Will 11 -> 13 (+2pp) Empowered Body: Stamina 8 -> 9 (+2pp) Sword Summoner, Gates of Babylon 7 -> 9 (+16pp)

Sorry, just been going over the sheet numbers and wanted to check, are we skipping PL12 up to 13? The last increase we had was to PL11

"Thank you," Anna acknowledges of the moochee as she takes her box with their precious content. "I think we'll do try and do that. Right?" she asks, as she turns to face the rest of the group while still in her Scion regalia.

"Uhm... Yeah, I... guess so? I mean... Yes." She straightened up, remembering that they were supposed to be the heroic protectors of the city, and not at all feeling somewhat in over her head. "That is, if they're both happy to join us as well." Well, one of them wasn't quite so much 'another' generation, was she? They'd fought alongside Morgan in earlier battles after all. While the other Anna... It sounded a lot like she outweighed the lot of them where it came to experience battling Rampants...

"Well..." 'Lady Robocop' rubbed the back of her head awkwardly. Fighting through giant monsters and flocks of shadow women were one thing, but social interaction in the middle of what sounded like a raging argument... one sided as the raging part might be? Was a harder beast to confront. "I hadn't exactly left... But we could probably do with the help..." She looked across to Drama Queen, unaware of the other girl's feelings for the school locale she happened to be a student at. She knew Leslie as being a solid strategist after all... "Right?" "...Are all those recruits going to be alright too? How long will it take for everyone to recover now... I mean... Do you think they'll have to keep the school shut tomorrow with all. This?"

"We did it..." "We...," the words broke in the face of something that refused to take hold within her memory, that flitted past as a much more familar portal opened, and with it the sight of a moochee. She followed its path, gliding through before she sighed outwardly as her boots drifted across the solid ground of their reality, and relaxed the magic binding those sword-bladed gauntlets to finally release. "haaaa...Woah. Are we... Are we all here?"

Would she be able to break away from the rampant, to try and make it towards the knots the Black Fixer had revealed? No. Probably not. But she could trust in the others to target those lynchpins, couldn't she? If she held the body here. Or at least, nailed it right to what made up a sort of ground, driving her blades into it again. "I'll catch up!" I hope.

So she grit her teeth and turns to drive deeper, push on and carve another hole into the Rampant's flesh. "C'mon, you can do better than that, can't you?!", she demands of the monster, trying to draw it's focus onto her while the others do whatever it is they're doing. It's been working after all, hasn't it?

Is she right? Taking heart from the taunting barbs thrown at the Rampant, Anna keeps up her assault as the it pulls its limbs back... Forming one centre mass. Her feet skim over the 'floor' as Anna plunges forward, both arms outstretched as she drives for the Rampant's core and starts to rotate about as she goes. Not another magic, or a mystic technique. But if the best way to take the monster out is through it... She just hopes nobody will see if she bounces off after this, spinning about like a drill... At least if she pierces through it, nobody can laugh!

They were hurting it, but that didn't mean it was making things easy. Quite the opposite, as it formed those layers of crystal and energy about its weak points and tried to turn their attacks aside. Which just meant they had to hit the thing even harder, with even more abandon. Again, and again, and again. Until it was done. So she keeps swinging at the monster, pushing harder to chip away at its guards and plunge for its weak points. If she could read minds, she would be agreeing with Leslie about refusing to die in school... but maybe missing out the 'public' part.

All she can do is grit her teeth and try to let the attack roll past as she raises her weapons to stab down again into the monster's vulnerable tissues and hopes it goes down first.

I'll say the +5 difficulty to resist the attack, since we're facing off such a powerful foe.

But one that while the afterimage was going to doubtless haunt her dreams for some time, was not enough to make Anna turn her focus away from the deadly predator. Even if she didn't particularly want to keeping seeing it now, in that bared state... She swings again, for that giant eye. "...She's right, you know?!"

Less good was the how, as the shifting bulge of its screaming expansion launches her back, hands at her ears. The fact it was able to threaten them like this though, using words and not just its sheer size and powers, both belied how much they must have been able to harm it, and how much of a risk it would be to let it get any further. "Try it, give us everything you've got!" Her wings spread, she rights herself in the air and spins about to launch herself back down at the Rampant, again on the assault as she dive-bombs the entity to drive her bladed fists into its mass again and again.
