hehe Orn shouts as he rushes at the brigands, "Want me ta tell ye a story? There were a dwarf with a rally big mallet who smashed ye in tha face. Tha end."

yay, those dice work :) Um... If i don't respond to this by friday, please nudge me. I'll probably forget you started a post as I saw it while you were editing in the results of your Enraged. I'm going to bed now so I have a good chance of forgetting since the 'new post' will not show any more.

OK guys and gal, I meant to get the RP post up tonight but I've been working on the map. I made it a hex map for classic champions maps, but I don't know how to make the toons on the map round so they fit nicely in the hexes... so they are square and it doesn't look as good. You won't be able to see it yet as I've got the start page set as a splash page where I'll stash extra copies of your avatars in case they accidentally get deleted (which is easier to do than I'd like). Once I get the RP post up, I'll switch the page to the map. I should be able to get that done tomorrow afternoon after I get home from work (I actually get home a couple hours early too, so yay). Also, if you don't have a picture yet, please find one so I can set up your Avatars and if you haven't gotten into the game, please do so I can assign you control over your avatar. If your avatar is or isn't there, please let me know. If you can't control your avatar, also let me know. I believe one of you is 'officially done' with your individual RP thread and well over half of you are a post or two away (just finishing up, really). IF you are not 'done', that's fine. Those RPs won't interfere with the group thread that is coming tomorrow (hopefully) so we can keep going. If you feel like you want to explore more in your character's personal life, please feel free. Even if its just a 'you' RP. I have a player in my other supers game (Marvel Super Heroes FASERIP system) who keeps a diary and just goes on her (he, playing a she) merry way chronicling her feelings throughout the adventure. I'm good with working with whatever you want to do or try. This IS a module (as you know, from the early 90s) but I usually run my supers adventures fairly 'sandboxy' and will veer around a bit as we dance around the sandbox.

Orn, Son of Thain Weaponmaster HP: 32 / 32 AC: 20 (16) Second Wind: Yes Action Surge: Yes Shadow: 2 Orn grins at Léofwyn. "I can just rush straight in then?" the burly dwarf seems to like this idea. He prefers a straight up fight to skulking about. Though, he didn't mind his companions choice of entering a fray. OOC: Initiative placed below for sake of expediency. He won't charge in until everyone is ready.

That's what Orn does!

"Welcome." A foul voice says, gravelly as if phlegm is 'dancing' in the throat of the speaker. You hear the voice muffled as it travels down the corridor to the Plague Lord's throne room. Then behind you, the corridor begins to collapse, pushing you steadily forward. "I've been waiting for you, as have the multitude of extra-planar beings who do so enjoy these 'games'. And with your deaths, you will be the final essence that will usher in my ultimate victory. Millenia of these games and finally there will be a winner. I will be victorious and the entirety of the multiverse will be my plaything. Imagine, everything you know, trees, animals, people, monsters, all suffering with festering boils, rotting flesh, and corrupted genetics continually mutating them in painful agony. Beautiful. And all of that feeding me so that I grow ever stronger than I will already be." the voice says. "You could surrender now and be assured a place in my elite ranks, should you choose." The collapsing passage behind you forces you out into the throne room of the Plague Lord where you quickly assess the enemies before you. Two Massive, cancerous tumors dangle down from the ceiling, resting on the floor (the two black globs in the room). "There you are." the Plague Lord says with a grin and launches an orb of disease at you. OOC: They didn't win by much, but they won. Without rolling everyone's initiative individually, I'm opting instead to have the Plague Lord act first BUT then you lot, followed by the Plague Lord's Minions and the Plague Lord himself. At least you don't have to endure the entire room attacking you. The Orb of Disease is a gelatinous glob of blood and rot. It explodes over all of you and rains down its putridness. DC 16 DEX save for half of the initial damage (25 on fail, 13 on a save), then a DC 16 CON save to not catch Leprosy. This Leprosy is 'fast acting' and will deal 2d6 damage every round until you succeed at the CON save (unless you save the first time against the Leprosy) Double OOC: I was thinking 'wow, what a scary damage roll' and checked... it was supposed to be 3d10 but I did a typeo at 4d10... so let's drop that initial damage to 20 on fail, 10 on success. of the NPCs, Austin, Vrod and Tiberion failed the DEX save but only Baldric and Vrod failed the CON save. Good luck to you two. You lot are up!!! Let the 'game' begin!

Eleanor follows the man down to the ground floor and out of the elevator just behind him. He walks out of the office building and to a limo parked in front of the office complex. The car takes off and 'miraculously' hits all the green lights as it makes its way to the Lincoln Bridge and across the Atherton River. Eleanor slowly loses ground, falling ever behind as she struggles at her top speed (about 30mph) while the car slows occasionally but speeds up to 35 or 40 miles per hour. She is falling farther and farther behind and as the car gets to the outer West Havens heading toward the Grant Experimental Sciences Facility it speeds up considerably, disappearing in the distance. However, unless the car turns off somewhere and she couldn't see the light (which might have been easy to miss with the other lights she can see as she tries to focus on the lights of the car), she believes the car drove into the facility. It is a very large complex, probably covering half the space of the Financial District. There are tall chain link fences with razor wire over the top... but that can hardly stop her. There are many large bay doors. Many. The car could be parked in any one of them... or none of them.

Ooooo they got them loaded back in? Yay!

Superior nods, a grim expression on his face. "Get me a copy of that picture. There are already three confirmed dead. We won't know the real number until this has all been cleared up." He says as he floats up into the air. "Glad you got here when you did. You saved lives. I am off to find a big cup and see if I can help put out this fire." he says as he swoops off into the night sky. John had seen it before. Superion gets some massive objects and scoops up water from one of the rivers or the ocean and pours it out on the fire. A while back an I environmental organization was protesting Superion doing this but he has been staunchly defended by mayors and Fire Chiefs for saving lives. Rescuer goes back to the paramedic station and finds out the boy was taken to Sovereign General Hospital.

That's copy and pasted.

Yeah, go ahead and use Luck. You've got an audiience now and the chips are down. He gets a recovery but it is low so he has a few more points of stun now. I agree that Luck shouldn't be used willy nilly, especially to change things in combat. But this is a good opportunity. Roll Luck. The first six negates the critical failure to just a miss. Each six after the first will decrease your roll by two

Let's call it good here. I will be starting a group thread later today or tomorrow night

All perfectly acceptable and appropriate

My favorite was :danceorc:

Where/what is Medusa doing first? Where does Medusa want to begin her investigation
