Down in Dr. Owens' office, Rodger found his spell.

*click*

The display of various options came up. Two were greyed out; he didn't have enough of those mana colors to invoke the spell using them. Three weren't.

He clicked on green.

"Ancient Spirits of Evil..." his deep spellcasting voice intoned as he looked up.

Over the hospital, dark clouds gathered with alarming speed, and poisonous-looking green lightning boomed and cracked overhead, not hitting anything but staying up in the air. A feeling of menace gathered, and, Dragon Fist being the Champion of Light, the words being spoken came to his ears during Rodger's transformation.

"transform this mortal form..." his voice continued, as a green disc glowed on his chest and power began forcing his clothes to shift and unravel.

"into the Rich Man!" And a wave of green energy pulsed outward from the disc, re-making Rodger's garments into something resembling what Ted DiBiase had worn in his wrestling days as the Million Dollar Man, but finer and more expensive in make. His hair, beard, and brows changed, becoming strands of metallic gold, and a diamond-headed cane appeared in his hands, the gemstone handle the size of a tangerine. And his eyes turned solid black, with dollar sign-shaped pupils filled with flickering hellfire.

The impression of evil radiated from him like light and heat did from a roaring bonfire. And in his head, in the new screen overlaying but not replacing his vision, there were a number of icons and readouts.

Aura of Blasphemy: On
Coinshield: Active

Several icons with special powers that he could invoke, Throw Money, Branding Beam, Send to Mechandising, Know the Bribe, Payday, Fiscal Vision, Mercenary Will, and a handful more. The hotkey jewel for She's Your Granny glowed and throbbed, as if being in this mode enhanced that spell somehow.

And most importantly, the power bar, showing how much energy he had left before he reverted back into Rodger again.


And with the change completed, the lightning stopped and the dark clouds started to fade away.

Dragon Fist the ran towards the other gunman and went for a one two combination a ridge chop to knock the radio out of his hand and an uppercut to try to knock him out.

As he did so, he heard several words in his head.

Ancient spirits of evil? Transform this mortal form? Into the rich man? Sounds like this has gone from bad to worse...

  The radio went flying, and the fellow went down like he'd cut a puppet's strings.  Leaving him two sets of clothes he could steal, if he wanted.

Dragon Fist considered something: disguising himself as one of the gunmen. Retracting his armor, Lucas then got to work on taking one of the gunman's clothes. Taking also a radio and any other accessories. Then dragging both bodies out of sight, he then made his way into the rooftop access.

Looking down at his new cane, Rodger hefted it experimentally, holding it by the wooden shaft. He grumbled, then told Dr. Owens, "Well, here goes nothing," unhappily before walking over to the door and listening for anyone immediately outside.

If he didn't hear anyone, he cautiously poked it open and stuck his head out, looking each way.

Dragon Fist manages to make it downstairs and off the roof without encountering anymore gunmen.

Rodger however would not be so lucky. As he exits the room a man in body armor holding a sub machine gun steps out from around the corner. SPotting Rodger HE shouted "Hey get back in the room!"

Lucas, now disguised as one of the gunmen, continued to sneak through the hospital, seeing if he could get an idea of how many there were, and what their placement was.

"Why should I?" Rodger answered with far more appearance of bravery than he actually felt. His hellfire-filled eyes met the gunman's gaze (assuming that he's not wearing any sort of mirrored headgear, which Rodger would avoid looking at).

Dragon Fist manages to move throughout the hospital with little difficult once he gets tw floors down a gunman stops him. "Hey why'd you leave your post? ANd where's your parnter?."

When Rodger challenges the gunman he rasies his weapon adn aims at Rodger and pauses. He stands there for a minute before saying. "They don't pay me enough for this." ANd taking off in the opposite direction.

Lucas shrugged.

"He wanted to take a smoke break and asked me to check to make sure that the perimeter is secure. It sounded odd but he said he had everything under control.."

His heart pounding, even after the gun was lowered and the gunman headed away, Rodger watched the man's retreating back for a few moments. That had been scary, but trusting that his spell would protect him seemed to have worked.

He didn't like it any better, despite that.

Now, where could that villain be and address the entire hospital at once like he had? Hmm. That could be any number of places. So, the Rich Man strode down the corridor, looking for a directory or more guards. Or a terrified nurse or three who he could ask directions from.

"What is it with our proffesion and cancer sticks? I just don't get it... Alright you should probably head back up to your floor tha boss doesn't want any 'Heroes' reachin him."

Rodger Finds the hallways deserted though most of the rooms have people in them.

"Sounds good," Lucas replied.

If the gunman turned his back on him, Lucas would attempt a chokehold to knock him out.

Pausing by a likely-looking room with an open door, Rodger very cautiously glanced inside for a doctor or nurse to ask. But wary of mirrors, to an extreme.

The man goes to walk away when Lucas grabs him letting out a "ACK!" before lucas manages to get him unconious.

Lucas then dragged the man out of sight, hiding him in a closet. He then remembered what he had said. To get back to his position.

Lucas then changed out of the gunman's uniform he was wearing and put his on. He then checked for anything else that this man may have had on him that the previous gunman didn't.

There is a lack of cigarettes and a nice watch other than that same gear.

Lucas then set about trying to find out anymore about the band of gunmen that had seized the hospital. He had to be sneakier this time...the other one nearly caught him offguard.

Silently he creeped through the floor, and if unabated, he would then sneak down. He also was listening for whoever might be behind this recent scheme.

In reply to Rodger Eskin (msg #80):

Rodger finds a nurse hiding behind a counterAs Rodger enters she pops her head out from behind it "Wh---who are you?"

"Not one of them," said the Rich Man/Rodger, evil still radiating from him like a furnace.

"Whereabouts in the hospital would that announcement have to have been broadcast from?" he asked the nurse, those obsidian and hellfire eyes watching her face with a dreadful intensity.

  The nurse blinked, and said "Umm.  Nurse's stations on each floor, administration offices, ER main nurse's station.  And the security office on the ground floor.  Most of the announcements come from the ground floor."

In reply to Dragon Fist (msg #84):

As Dragon Fist is making his way down the stairwell to the next floor he hears a crackling on the radio he stole. "Keep your eyes peeled, theres a super around here gold beard and fancy suit..." Another crackle and then he hears "Already? Damn... YOu boys keep this place locked down I need to get out of here, I'll stay within range but if they find me this whole plans kaputz."

Damn...he's gonna move...gotta get to him..

Lucas then began to run and went on the radio.

"Uh boss...how many are here? I think someone else besides the gold guy here.."
