Out of character conversation for the new team/comic Street Wardens.

Grey Guardian, checking in.

Dyna-Man here at your service.

A suggestion for Grey Guardians theme song;

Good, but not nearly as awesome as:

Wolf TOTEM!!!

In reply to Grey Guardian (msg # 5):

The HU is awesome (I'm listening to them literally right now) but they are really, really Mongolian.

I have distant relatives among the Lakota Sioux people. He, my very distant cousin got in touch with me because one of those ancestry genetic testing things. He is the one who turned me on the the Hu. Yea they are Mongolian but you'd be shocked how popular they are among NAN peoples, especially the Sioux.

In reply to Grey Guardian (msg # 7):

They are popular amongst all of the peoples that like good music. :)

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 8):

True Enough!

I will be proud to join the Street Wardens in our war on crime in Century Station.

This game will be launching tomorrow probably around 12pm Eastern Time!

Beware Evil Doers, The Street Wardens are coming!

Tomorrow? I have to come up with my background tonight then.

Whole family (except me) is sick with a stomach bug.

Lots of stuff to do for them so the game will launch in a couple of hours instead of at 12.

Family first pal, I wish everything goes well.

Are we only 3 characters in this one?

One more recruit is coming.

Okay, excellent!

OOPS.... my bad i'll re-post over there...

In reply to Lyndsey Rocker (msg # 18):

Actually Lyndsey, you are the new recruit in the Justice Front.

That said I really dig the character and there will be crossovers.

We will be starting with 3 characters (well actually only Dyna-Man and Grey Guardian will be in the opening bit).

I am talking to a fourth player who may join.

And we're off.

Please make your first post arriving at HQ for the briefing.

Cryokinetic we'll hold off on adding you until we have your character fully completed. There is no hurry.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 21):

I should have stats up later tonight.

Hey everybody! Thanks for having me!

Who wants a snowcone? I carry a flavor gun on me at all times...

I got red, and purple, and green...

No yellow. For...obvious reasons.

:P

Okay, I'm getting to make up for some of the family vacation we lost when everyone got sick this week so I'll be moving the story along on Monday.

We will also add Cryo to the group at that time as he will be dropped off by Jannisary to join the team in the SUV before they reach the abandoned gas station.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 23):

See you then.

Cryokinetic is on the scene!

I'd say that description applies most aptly to Apex, leader of the Centurions, but Janissary would be flattered.

Janissary is actually just the 4th member of the Street Wardens.

I always forget Apex name.

I forget everyone's name except his. Son-of-a-gun has more A's on him than Oakland.

I'll give you guys a minute to say hello and maybe discuss the plan with the new arrival.

My next post will be arriving at the gas station (or nearby).

Welcome Cryokinetic.

I am really impressed by how well our abilities mesh and how we are working together.

In reply to Grey Guardian (msg # 31):

Yes indeed! Although APS: Ice lacks in offensive damage ability, it makes up for that in utility.

So the only real provisions for taking it easy on people are Pulling Punches (which simply does less damage) and Knockouts (which one a rolled crit will knock someone unconscious).

I plan to observe the rules of the game (Four Color Comics) established in the Justice Front Comic.

Rest assured I will take into account that you are not going for the kill unless you tell me that you are going for the kill.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 33):

Is the explosion causing fires near the gas pumps in the station?

The explosion was inside the building.

The powerlines and frozen junction box are bouncing around the parking lot but there is no sign that they are igniting anything yet (no way to know if there is even fuel in the tanks or not).

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 35):

I did get ice slicks outside all the exits expect for the one Dyna-Man was using, right?

Lights on or off inside gas station?

good question!

Main lights went off.

There is still some small light from inside.

Also the smell indicated a fire.

Ok, so I assume we can do one action and not all our actions? And, smelling gas even in a defunct gas station is very bad news when stuff is on fire, right? Can I use my IR vision to locate source of fire?

Yes (feel free to state your intentions so I know where you're headed but signpost it as such)



Facts. However at this point Guardian is smelling something burning not the smell of gasoline.



You can but there is a lot of temperature interference going on (and once you move inside it will be pretty obvious).

If you don't mind Cryo pull that last post and repost it after my last update.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 41):

Done. My action will still be the same. My priorities are still to insure any residue gas does not ignite. I will shift to UV vision if that makes seeing what's going on easier.

That will actually reveal something interesting.

This is cool, funny, and in character.

Because of that I am going to waive the extra two melee attacks this would require.

Thanks Mr. GM. :D

Believe me when I say I really appreciate that you are paying attention Cryo.

That said I need to you to pull that last post and move to after my last update again.

So that you know I will always be posting the results of your actions followed by the bad guys actions in this fight because you all beat them on initiative.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 46):

Done!

Thank you!

It's only fair that you know what the enemy is doing when you choose your action.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 48):

Even if they shot at me I would not have changed my action. Once I know the results I will contact the others about how the place is a potential bomb.

If Grey Guardian just stands there as he get peppered by gun fire and goes "damn that hurts," would it qualify for an intimidation check?

It could but that much damage is most likely going to knock you down.

Of course getting back up could still have the effect you're looking for.

May I act now?

Affirmative.

Just wanted to be the post #1000

(Moving this to OOC so as not to clutter up the IC thread with OOC stuff.)



You rolled plenty high enough to grab him last time (you only need to roll an 8 or higher) the bad guy just made a good dodge roll because he is surprisingly agile as well as strong.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 55):

Got it. And sorry for not coming here to the OOC. I will try the same strategy as it seems there is no way I can stop that giant in another way.

Actually you are soundly beating him. He just hasn't run out of SDC/HPs yet.

Hyperdensity is in Powers Unlimited 1 (PU1 pg 31).

You can turn it on and off at will but it will generally always use up all of your attacks for the round.

It will be relatively difficult to use it to trap someone in this way without the element of surprise that you had the first time (also it just feels more heroic to me for you to try something different since it didn't work).

Well, the move is done, if failed I will remain like statue until next round so I can attempt something different.

Actually I am granting you a "do over" because Dyna-Man would be aware of how it works.

22:20, Today: Dyna-man rolled 15,6 using 1d20+4,1d20+4.  Attempt to grab Tafola's wrists with the dog catchers.

It seems that one of the rolls failed unless Tafola tried to dodge. I just remembered one of Tafola's hand was severed, problably that is how one of the rolls failed.

Guardian attempted to sever one of Tafola's hands but was unsuccessful. His arm is wounded but he still has both hands.

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 62):

Not being native English speaker makes sometimes I cannot figure out very elaborated descriptions. I will try to do my best.

In reply to Patricus (msg # 63):

Well, the more we play the better you will get.

In reply to Patricus (msg # 63):

Dude you are doing great!

Thanks all.

Okay so some of you are going to see The Hoop and the rest are going to talk to Tafola.

I believe it's;

Blackhawk and Alana to the hoop.

Grey Guardian , Cryokinetic, and Wipeout to see Tafola.

Is this correct?

In reply to Cyrus (msg # 67):

Sounds good to me!

Unless the 'hoop' is going to interact in some interesting way we can just include a single post worth of 'side trip' into the same thread.

I plan to handle both in the same thread (unless it becomes a problem).

The groups won't be that far apart anyway.

Wow, i blink and it has been like 3 days... sometimes i dont even realize how fast the days can go.

Yeah, I don't want to leave anyone behind but at the same time when a RPOL game falls below a certain level of momentum they have a tendency to die off.

Given your questions I will move Wipeout to the "Hoop Group".

I am taking my son to the USAF national museum this weekend (7 hour drive), do not expect a post from me until maybe sunday or monday.

Cool trip. Y'all have fun.

Well, never mind we were going to but he is going to do stuff with his friends friday  so we will do it later.

I just wanted to let you know i am going to drop out.  I'm just not able to get into the groove of this game, good luck.

Alright. Appreciate the heads up. Sorry it didn't work for you. Glad you gave it a try.

Have fun in your future endeavors.

Nice roll Guardian.

I was set to say he was distracted by something. Remember the dice roller giveth...

A reminder that you all have access to ARC:US resources including vehicles, support personnel,  and robotic crime scene teams.

Wow.  We got a CS Dogboy.... LOL

More or less, yeah, but with the fascism scraped off and the addition of a couple of minor super powers.
