"The boys are fighting over me," she said.  "It's hilarious.  Why?  You come here looking for a date, too?"

She was now standing, of course, and looked ready to fight.  She knew who Artemis was...

"No, looking to deal with some troublemakers. I guess you'll be first," Diana said.

Jackie laughed.

"What do you think you can do?" she asked.

"Really? You don't know who I am? I've dealt with worse than you," Diana said.

"As if you'd dare attack me," she said, taunting.  She got up, leaving a pattern of frost where she'd been sitting.  "Bring it, little girl."

"Sure thing," Diana said, charging her.

(OOC: Initiative - Artemis rolled 21 using 1d20+9)

Go

Diana leapt up and came down with a punch.

(OOC: attack roll - Artemis rolled 13 using 1d20+12)

Jackie laughed as she stepped out of the way of the punch, then reached out a hand to touch Artemis...

But I'm sure a 15 misses.

Diana attacked again.

(OOC: Attack roll - Artemis rolled 27 using 1d20+12)

The blow struck Jackie hard, sending her reeling-- but now the other two had noticed the fight.

"She hurt Jackie!" said Shocker, outraged.

"...ready to pay for that?" Mr. Fahrenheit asked Artemis, and it suddenly grew much, much hotter.

Diana attacked Jackie again, she needed to put one down quick.

(OOCL Attack roll - Artemis rolled 31 using 1d20+12)

Jackie went down from the kick.  Unfortunately, the entire area where Artemis was standing suddenly exploded in coruscating energy!

You're caught in two different Damage 10 Area effects, so two DC 20 Dodge saves and then Toughness saves.

(OOC: Dodge rolls - Artemis rolled 15,22 using d20+12,d20+12. Toughness saves - Artemis rolled 11,22 using d20+8,d20+8. Gonna reroll the first. Artemis rolled 19 using 1d20+8. Fail by 6)

Yep, both of them had dropped their quarrel to attack her, and that clearly wasn't a good situation.

...something dark and fast-moving was scooting along the ground nearby, hiding behind cars and other cover, moving in much closer, but she couldn't tell what it was-- it was both fast and appeared to be changing shape to match available cover as it moved.

Diana hurled one of her throwing crescents at Shocker.

(OOC: Ranged attack - Artemis rolled 25 using 1d20+12. 8 Damage.)

It struck Shocker without much effect, and he laughed.  Mr. F, however, was lining up a shot that looked dangerous and--

--something amorphous and black shot up from the ground and engulfed him!

That was certainly a distraction as Diana went in close for an attack on Shocker.

(OOC: Attack roll - Artemis rolled 31 using 1d20+12. Same damage)

That worked much better-- he was staggered by the blow.

It looked as if Mr. F was in a desperate struggle to burn the thing grabbing him-- which looked like it might work-- before it choked him unconscious, which, given the grip it had on him, was ALSO likely.

But first Shocker was retaliating...

If a 24 hits, Damage 10

(OOC: Toughness roll - Artemis rolled 9 using 1d20+7. Reroll - Artemis rolled 26 using 1d20+7)

Artemis shrugged it off and was ready to counterattack...

Diana attacked Mr. F.

(OOC: Attack roll - Artemis rolled 16 using 1d20+12. Reroll - Artemis rolled 25 using 1d20+12)

Mr. Fahrenheit was in bad shape, especially since he was still being choked by the... amorphous blob.  But that gave Shocker another chance to blast Artemis!

Attack 24, damage 10

(OOC: Toughness roll - Artemis rolled 10 using 1d20+8)

Hurt badly but you can still act
