Tarina/Nightshade will grab McGavin and bring him back aboard the blood mobile while restraining him with zip ties around his hands and feet. "No, I think we need to talk in private, Mr. McGavin before you go anywhere."

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 21):

Anky is now spd 3 and armadillo, spd 4

McGavin scowls.  we are outside the shelter.  (parked at the bottom)  You are placing me in danger.  The enhanced armored individuals could blow this blood mobile apart.  you seem overly agitated.  Are you getting enough to eat?  Although, I would not suggest taking any much needed blood from here.  People in real harms way rely on this. And, as I said before, you had better have proof if you intend to hog tie me

(technically, you only have hear say.  even the threat on the butcher is cloudy of detail and not physical evidence)

phase 2 and 3
anyone act before dex 18?

After making sure that she and Mcgavin are inside the blood mobile out of public sight and out of view of any cameras, Tarina will take off her helmet. Nightshade snarls with her fangs at full extension, salivating as she looks hungrily and angrily into Mcgavin's eyes, "McGavin, I agree. Yes, they could blow this truck apart. Yes, people do need the blood in here. Yes, I am agitated. No, I haven't been able to get enough to eat.  Yes, I am placing you in danger. From me!" She pauses to lick her lips and dripping fangs. "Now, tell me where all of your victims are, or I'll thank you for volunteering to feed me, Mr. McGavin. Either way, it won't hurt, much!"

OOC
Presence Attack on McGavin


OOC
Nightshade is Dex 23, SPD 5

In reply to Darrell McGavin (msg # 22):

Sharpshooter is now SPD 4 DEX 23

Sharp holds his action, thumbing the payloads to his Hard Air rounds. Having fought Ankylosaur before, he is prepared to Deflect any projectile or beam that the armored supervillain tries to launch.

Flicker dashes just past the hole in the road, shouting down it, "Photon won't want anything to do with you. Neither of you can catch me, and you will, therefore, not defeat me!"
His bravado is tempered by his attitude, which suggests he's ready to dodge away at any moment.

OOC: attempting a PRE attack to draw the battle away from the bloodmobile and homeless shelter like a classic good guy would

In reply to Flicker (msg # 25):

Sharpshooter and Flicker are ready to dodge.  Nightshade is confronting McGavin.  Per roll Nightshade.

Ocean, what do you do?

McGavin smiles a sadistic smile.  Victims?  What victims?  I am the only victim here.  You are spouting nonsense.  Like I said before, if you have PROOF that I am doing something illegal, then arrest me.  And may I suggest Louis on 34th street, they do make a fine blood rare steak. . (Very expensive restaurant)

OOC
Base PER Roll, 12-
Nightshade rolled 8 using 3d6 with rolls of 1,4,3.

Hearing PER Roll, 15-
Nightshade rolled 14 using 3d6 with rolls of 5,4,5.

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 27):

Nightshade sees several hidden cameras.  This was all a set up.  the attack on the blood bank, the denial of blood, the bloodmobile, its impossible to note if the 2 villains outside are his coincidence, but probably the latter.

this means he has her on video threatening him, tying him up, acting like a criminal.  and knowing him, its already been sent out, as has the video from inside when she "attacked" he homeless man and "threatened" the girl.

Armadillo pops out of the ground. All right flying goon (Flicker) I'm going to use my targeting computer to find your weak spot and then blast you out of the sky!  (half phase to find weakness) 

14:19, Today: Armadillo rolled 42 (with 12 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 4, 4, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 4.  damage.

14:19, Today: Armadillo rolled 12 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 5, 2.  to hit.

14:18, Today: Armadillo rolled 12 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 3, 5, 4.  activation roll 14-.

14:18, Today: Armadillo rolled 12 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 1, 6, 5.  find weakness 11-

didn't find weakness

did i hit?  do i need to do knockback?

Sharpshooter's hard air bullet knocks Armadillo's blast harmlessly to the side.
He says "What? Y'all ain't heard of me?"

DCV 9, OCV 8
30 levels with Missile Deflection


13:21, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 16 (with 4 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 6, 5.  Missile Deflection OCV 38. Deflects vs OCV 33 or less.

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 29):

M.O. Finally barrels in on her board, shooting Armadillo in an effort to knock him back in the hole.

08:39, Today: Majestic Ocean rolled 3 (with 1 body) using 2 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 1, 2.  Knockback.

08:39, Today: Majestic Ocean rolled 46 (with 14 body) using 12 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 6, 3, 1, 6, 4, 5, 4, 6, 1, 6, 2.  Damage, Fire Hose.

08:38, Today: Majestic Ocean rolled 11 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 4, 6, 1.  To Hit, OCV 6.

9" KNB, I'll let you subtract any resistance and roll damage.

"Nightshade!  What are you doing in there?  I doubt the bomber got INSIDE the bus to plant the bomb!  Get McGavin out of there and check the engine block!"

OOC: Ava already texted her there's no bomb, maybe she means take out the engine block so it can't be driven?

Nightshade looks over to Ava then retracts her fangs and closes her mouth, staring at McGavin with a dazed and confused expression, "Uh...Right, Majestic Ocean! I'll just get Mr. McGavin and everyone else out of here." Still looking and sounding a bit dazed, she takes Mcgavin, a pint of whole blood, and anyone else she can find out of the blood mobile. Thoughtlessly she sips on the pint of blood as she replies to Ava, "Ok Ocean! Thanks for waking me out of that blood trance, I'm alright now, and I've gotten Mr. McGavin and everyone else he's told me about out of the bloodmobile."

While still swigging blood, she walks over and pulls the passenger side rear tire off of the back of the blood mobile and tosses it onto the nearest roof. Looking back at Mcgavin she says apologetically, "I'm sorry about that. I get starved an' I lose control for a while, saying and doing all kinds of things I normally wouldn't. But I know right from wrong, and the help of a hero always bring me back to my senses."

Sharpshooter, still atop the bloodmobile, manages to keep his footing when one of the tires is ripped free from the vehicle.



19:05, Today: Sharpshooter rolled 8 (with 2 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 2, 1.  Breakfall 14-.

Just as he suspected, the bad guys decided to shoot first and think later. Flicker, being prepared, zipped six meters to the left as the shot was fired. "No, no, no, you dummy," he says. "You HAVE to catch me, shooting me would be next to impossible."

OOC: on phase 2, dex 18 Flicker half moves, does a PRE attack, then prepares to dodge (sort of holding the half phase as in "I'm preparing to perform a dodge maneuver if I'm attacked but otherwise will burn this half phase to make things move smoothly), when the attack occurs Flicker dodges, DCV becomes eleven. Armadillo would need a twelve OCV to hit

In reply to Flicker (msg # 33):

the bloodmobile is a normal bloodmobile,

Today: Armadillo rolled 17 (with 5 body) using 9 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3.  knockback damage .

armadillo took 20 points of stun and is stunned

McGavin responds That's just fine.  Amok destroyed part of the city, Photon attacked innocent people, and you threatened me.  it just proved a point.  I suggest you get a doctor to issue you some medicine for your "condition"  Empowered individuals need to be free of their violent tenancies.  To make the world a better place

to make the world a better place, isn't that what that little girl said?

to be contined

In reply to Flicker (msg # 33):

rest of phase 4 and phase 5

Flicker figures he can stand a little smoke in his eyes, and zips to stand next to Anky opposite Dilly before unleashing one of his left hooks at the former.

OOC

01:37, Today: Flicker rolled 1 using 10-3d6 with rolls of 2,2,5.  possible knockback (martial arts in use).

Nightshade looks at McGavin and replies, "If I didn't care about a certain little girl in the shelter and doing what's right, I might have done something worse. You say, 'Empowered individuals need to be free of their violent tenancies to make the world a better place.' I'll just point out that 'normal' people predominate and do more damage to the world than any ten 'Empowered Individuals'."

She pauses to perceive the effects of Flicker's attack on Anky before taking her action.

Sharpshooter bounces a hard air bullet off the pavement to ricochet and strike Ankylosaur's grenade a split second before it goes off, sending it careening into the air to discharge harmlessly. He says "Boys, I was shooting full clips from a Tommy gun out of the air back in the '40s. Grenades and beams just won't do the trick."

2nd Deflection, -2 to roll

unfortunately, the deflected grenade does not prevent it from going off (as per private conversation)

Flicker hits anky for 9 stun and is only knocked down.  you are just lucky cowboy is more points

armadillo calls out after taking a recovery   Hey! I can't see either!

your problem , not mine

McGavin says.  and "normal" criminals, more so.  now, untie me so you can help your friends before an innocent person gets hurt.  Black Diamond should be on her way.

phase 5 and 6 before dex 18 on phase 6

While her enhanced hearing provides her a clear view of the scene, she moves quietly through the obscuring smoke and gets into position to possibly knock Armadillo into Ankylosaur.

Seeing what Nightshade is winding up to do, M.O. positions herself opposite and tries to use teamwork to firehose Ankylosaur into Armadillo.

08:44, Today: Majestic Ocean rolled 8 (with 3 body) using 2 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 6, 2.  Knockbock.

Segment 6, Dex 23.

Sharp fires his grapple at a building rooftop about 20" away and is yanked off the top of the blood mobile when the line retracts. As a ranged fighter, he wasn't about to try slugging it out with two armored behemoths.

Swinging 40", half-move.

Segment 6, Dex 18

Flicker's intent is to draw the bad guys away, and make sure the people from the bloodmobile are safe. So he zips away from the Arkydilsaur and checks the bloodmobile.

OOC: half move to bloodmobile, PER roll to look for people to evacuate
Flicker rolled 12 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 6, 5, 1.  PER roll (-12), to locate evacuees.

In reply to Flicker (msg # 43):

Nightshade, you are lucky Flicker slowed down Ankylosaur.

Majestic. smoke everywhere.  to "see" nightshade, you need a perception roll. unless you have some hearing based power I don't know of

McGavin is the only one left in the bloodmbile, everyone else ran into the shelter.
