Bellissima Initiative Roll:
00:59, Today: Bellissima rolled 13 using 1d20.  Bellissima Initiative roll.

With Sixth Sense: +8 = 21
Without Sixth Sense: +2 = 15

Senor Garcia calmly fires his shotgun into what is apparently a dinosaur, hoping more to gain its attention then kill it. Oddly this wasn’t the first dinosaur he’d shot at but those were genetically engineered from iguanas or frogs. What he did know is that dinosaurs were hard to kill and all he was probably doing was pissng the overgrown lizard off.

08:15, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 14 using 5d6 with rolls of 1,1,2,5,5.  Dmg to date no buddy (solid slug).

08:09, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 22 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 17.  Shoot Dino buddy w/shotgun.

08:03, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 16 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 13.  Init .

The Maharaja leaps atop the beast (doing no damage) and Señor Garcia blasts it. It doesn't want to stay and backs out, scraping The Maharaja off its back in the process. It turns around, takes four strides into the alley, and eats a policeman.

Bellissima hissed as a T-Rex came out of the blue glow.  She was already creating a psi-shield as she turned to the men in the vault, "Hide!" She ordered them as the dinosaur charged into the alleyway and killed a police man.

She looked around the room and used her TK to pick up a table carrying it with her as she charged out into the alleyway and placed herself between Rex and the remaining policemen, "Get out of here!" She called out to them as she raised the table and floated it in front of Rex's face so that she blocked its line of sight.  She looked around to see if there was something heavy, but that she could still reasonable pick up with her Telekinesis.

The only thing in a city alley within that weight range would be a filled dumpster. There is one. At the same time she realizes this, Bellissima also realizes this 'dinosaur' has two sets of eyes.

Senor Garcia chases after the dinosaur out of the bank and into the alley. Once he has a good line of sight, he fires at the back of the lower part of the dinosaurs' leg, specifically the ankle. If he could sever a tendon or two the dinosaur wouldn't be able to run away anymore.

19:55, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 16 using 1d20+4.  called shot to back of rex ankle +8/2=+4 to strike.
Nat 12/unat 16

19:57, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 15 using 5d6.  Dmg to rex (solid slug.
15 dmg

[Private to GM: Senor Garcia has a speed of 34 so he's a speedy Garcia

• 680 meters per minute
• 170 meters per melee
• 34 meters per action

]

Perhaps 'eats a policeman' was less descriptive than it should have been. When the creature ran into the alley, it encountered the policemen guarding the entrance. The creature chomped the nearest one, and tossed him towards the furthest before moving on. Even though the 'chomped cop' is slightly bloody and has a torn uniform, neither chewing nor swallowing had actually occurred. Both police officers, rather than running away as Bellissima suggested, have fired their tasers at the monster. Thus they manage to do absolutely nothing.
Señor Garcia bloodies the monsters ankle, but the creature's dense flesh doesn't permit the wound to cripple it.

Senor Garcia fires his shotgun at the back of the dinosaur's ankle a second time.

09:24, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 11 using 1d20+4.  called shot to back of rex ankle +8/2=+4 to strike.
11 (pretty crappy for a called shot)

09:24, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 19 using 5d6.  Dmg to rex solid slug.
19 dmg

The alien rex ignores Señor's Garcia's second shot, it being close enough to off-center that it glances off the reptilian scales covering the creature's ankle. The creature responds by using its tail to flip the squad car end over end. The two policemen, who were heading towards the car doors, now decide Bellissima had the best idea and run down the alley. The unbitten officer is yelling into his phone.
OOC: The Maharaja is correct, he has no more attacks^*. Now, neither does the creature or the cops. If I count correctly, both Bellissima and Señor Garcia have three remaining. The creature has a natural AR of eleven, fire at will.
^*The Maharaja's actions were all used at once

Heroes Unlimited Second Edition Revised, page 69:

Leap Attack: An airborne assault where the weapon and/or fists or feet are wielded in mid-leap. An attack must be made only at the beginning of a melee round and, like a jump kick, uses up all attacks for that melee round.

Bellissima was in a bit of shock that she was facing a T-Rex in real life.  Itt took her a couple of seconds to realize she should inform Justicar that he was right about his concern and warn the others as she activated the hands free radio and got on the encrypted LESP channel, [Private to group LESPradio: "We have an incursion at the Bank of State Facility!  A T-Rex with 4 eyes.  Moving to contain it!"]  She announced to all Sentinels. Hopefully this warning would be useful for Justicar  and his team at the disappearance site.

Bellissima liked grabbing her opponent and throwing them around, but there was no way she was picking up and tossing a T-rex, they would wear several tons.  The police car was too heavy as well, then her eyes a lighted on a filled trash container.  It was over 5 feet long and maybe waist high on her, she thought she could pick it up and use and not completely wipe herself out.  She reached out with her mind, grunting as she lifted the filled trash container.  The container took more energy to lift than expected, but she did and then she slammed it into the side of T-Rex's head, sending it stumbling sideways from the powerful blow.  Both hands extended hands in a grasping position as she focused hard, sweat running down her forehead, she swung the trash container around, building momentum as she slammed it into T-Rex's other side with a massive blow.  She was busy making sure to keep all the trash inside of the container for its addition mass, so she missed with her third attempt to slam the container into T-Rex.

The trash container flying through the air as it clipped off the shoulder of the creature as Bellissima strained to keep it under control, subconsciously moving her hands like she was holding on to the container as she moved it through the air, slamming it into the T-Rex twice.  As she kept her Psi-shield in front of her, ready to use it to parry any blow the T-rex might send her way.

As the trash bin slams into the rex from the right, the creature waving its arms in an ineffectual attempt to ward off the blow, Señor Garcia's slug strikes the base of the creature's tail. As it reels from these blows to the other side of the alley, the trash bin intercepts it striking the snout and twisting the neck to an impossible angle just as a second slug strikes its back. Suddenly, there is a loud sound as the creature's neck snaps and it falls limply to the pavement.

The police officers stop running about a block away, then point frenetically back down the alley. An odd assortment of people with varying methods of locomotion comes past the officers. There is a motorcycle rider clothed in off-the-shelf riot gear, a being appearing to be made entirely of light, and a frog-like man in green and black armor. They stop at the police car and walk forward.
"We heard about the monster on the scanner," says the light being, "and thought we could help. It's good to see you didn't need it."
The frog-person says, "our offices are only a few blocks away."
The third person quietly begins pointing devices at the creature, some of them obviously cameras. "It's down, you guys can head back. I'll be there as soon as I take some readings."

Mae Ha Rga asks the people still in the vault if they're all ok and no injuries.  After getting an 'Ok' from everyone he goes outside with everyone else and the dead dinosaur.
"I don't know much about dinosaurs other than they should all be extinct.  But, this one seems exceptionally weird.  Is the person making these portals able to open them to prehistoric times as well?"

Senor Garcia fired his shot gun three times in succession at the dinosaur. The first two shotgun slugs find thier mark. The third and last shotgun slug doesn’t fire at all, prompting g the old man to take remedial action, clear the unfired shell and chamber another round.

14:43, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 32 using 3d20 with rolls of 16,15,1.  Shoot t-Rex center mass +8.
Unat 22, 14 dmg
Unat 21, 20 dmg
MISS/dud round

14:47, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 20 using 5d6.  Dmg to rex (solid slug) 2.
14:47, Today: Senor Garcia rolled 14 using 5d6.  Dmg to rex (solid slug) 1.



[Private to GM: My 1st action next round will be the remedial action I posted here. ]

A second police car pulls into the alley, almost touching the upside down car. As Chimp Man Z and Lilibeth exit the vehicle, the two previously fleeing officers return. One of the two elbows the other and says, "toldja so, they're on you at O'Shea's tonight."

Bellissima looked surprised as the T-Rex went down after a couple of shots from Garcia and her hitting the giant beast with the trash container.  Sweat was sliding down her forehead as she gently set the smashed up container back on the ground, where she picked it up from.  "That was easier than I had expected," she said to Maharaja and Garcia in surprise at how quickly they took out the beast.

She turned in surprise as they were joined by three other supers, "Glad you were able to respond so quickly, that could have gone much different.  I am Bellissima of the Sentinels," she announced herself as she moved toward the three to find out their names and who they were.  She was didn't know any of them and was slightly concerned they could be someone they didn't want to take readings of the portal.

She turned toward Maharaja, "That is a very good question.  Maybe Justicar has discovered more information on that by now." She noticed Maharaja taking care of the people in the vault and making sure they were safe.

She used her enhanced sight to see if the portal energies were still around or if they had dissipated already. Looking for any unusual energies radiating off of the t-rex body or from the area it appeared in.

Lilibeth steps out of the car and gasps softly as she takes in the incredible sight of a dead, as in very recently dead and still bleeding, T-rex. Runa, as usual, had kept her focus and prodded her. "Find out if anyone is hurt Lili

Lilibeth nodded her head, then took a deep breath and strode forward to where Bellissima and the others stood talking. "Is anyone injured?", her tone almost its normal cheery tone.

Bellissima looked up at Lillibeth and Jacob showed up, "Sorry, it didn't last very long," she tried to joke a bit about the two missing the fight.  As Lillibeth asked if anyone was hurt, the brunette immediately pointed at the officer that had been tossed by the T-Rex.  "He took some damage."

The glowing being transforms into a woman in yellow spandex with red boots, gloves, and mask. "I'm Dr. Bright," she says, "but I can't speak when I'm all lit up, so I guess you get this version."
The froggish man throws a thumb at his own chest and states, "I'm Grimtoad. Mister anti-social over there goes by Answer... or maybe The Answer. He's never been completely clear on that."

Lilibeth looks to where Bellissima points and then hurries over. In mid stride the slender, average height young blond woman disappears and is replaced by a statuesque, muscular woman wearing would could accurately be described as high tech appearing but archaic or fantasy style, articulated plate armor.

She takes a new next to the downed officer and appraises him. "Do not fear, protector of the city. I am a priestess of Ishtar. You will be healed,. Her voice was filled confidence, attempting to reassure the injured officer. She lays a hand gently on his forehead and then her hand glows with a soft, white light.


OOC
Spend 90 power points to heal the officer and then reassess.

Both officers watch Lilibeth, then Runa approach. The officer she heals looks down at the cuts he had and says, "well, damn. Still no scars. We'll have to split the tab at O'Shea's."

Bellissima nodded at Dr Bright and Grimtoad and she started pointing at the Sentinels as she introduced them, "That is Senor Garcia, that is Maharaja, that is Runa and you probably know of Chimp Man Z."  She smiled at Dr Bright, "What is your group called?"  The police were unconcerned with the three heroes being here, so she figured that meant they were known and trusted by the police.

"In the future Dr Bright, if you tap the side of your temple I can read your surface thoughts for communication," Bellissima tapped her temple with two fingers.  "I am a minor telepath." She smiled at Grimtoad and Answer as well, "I can't pick up specific thoughts unless I focus on a person and I only do so with permission unless there is a valid reason to do so."  She smiled, "I really don't need to hear other people's random thoughts," the brunette jested.

"We are here investigating the bank robbery because it had a similar effect to a kidnapping that happened in Center City," she briefed the other heroes, "Our scientist warned us that there might be a rebound effect and something might come out now," she turned to look at the big body of the T-rex, "and he called it."   She looked over at Answer and offered, "I can get you in touch with him if you want to get more details or exchange information."

Runa stands and offers a hand to the now healed officer. If he accepts, she gently helps him to his feet. "Good day, protectors of New York. May the blessings of the goddess shine upon you."

She then turns to stand next to Belissima. She says nothing as the other woman speaks with the other heroes but it is obvious she is listening and interested.

"No need. The Sentinels from Center City aren't new news, and I've been looking for Phantasma since he left Dusseldorf. I'll send all my data to LESP offices. One good thing about this, since you know the time of the original break-in and the time of the, uhhh, incursion, you can extrapolate the time for anything similar to occur at the later event site."

Senor Garcia picks up the ejected dud shotgun shell, and then processed to reload the shotgun, sliding five shells from his vest into the weapon.

He then walks up to the corpse of the dinosaur, and despite it being dead (well at least unmoving) he places the barrel of his Kel Tec shotgun on one of the dinosaurs' eyes and pulls the trigger.  That done, he racks another round into the chamber, and loads another shell into the shotgun.

---

Senor Garcia then walks over to the conversation Belissma, and Runa are having with the local superheroes.
