Turn 129
Start hauling stuff from the vault and loading it into the van to take with us.
(2) You decide that it would be a damn shame to leave all that money behind, and get to work on finding a way to get all the riches into the van. After a few minutes of hard thinking you realize that you have no way of opening the security boxes and try moving the gold into the van instead. The only problem is that gold is freaking heavy, and you aren't exactly the Hulk, so moving it by hand is quite slow work.
"Hmm. Thinking, thinking... I'm going to go with Nick Fury? Anyways, the argument your men are having is pretty irrelevant. I have no intention of escaping, and even if I did I'm not exactly in any condition to try."
"By the way, I should let you know that this darkness isn't natural, if you haven't figured it out yet. I'm going to go ahead and guess Lucien, one of my former "colleagues" has something to do with it. You'll want to check that out."
(5) As you speak they all stop arguing and snap their heads in your direction, angry at the interruption. But then they seem to drop the animosity somewhat, the general-type man approaching you with the soldiers behind him. “Louis Jacobs, you are to be placed under arrest for the time being. The fact that you provided aid against your former comrades will be taken into account as your sentence is decided.” He points at the armored vehicle they arrived in, “Now if you could kindly enter the transport we can get going.”
take the computer and place it in the van, help load the van.
(4) You ignore the strange flying robot-thing that tried to tear your face off, and instead grab the computer and make a run for it. Getting back to the fortress isn't exactly hard, you just have to follow the trail of destruction, and once you get there you stow the computer away in the van. Then you just decide to generally help with the loading of the van, even though you aren't sure exactly what there is to load.
Grow tough scaly skin over my body to repair my back injury.
Rebuild my torso to have a concealable maw similar to the Invisible Woman's.
Reach into my right shoulder and move it back into the right position.
Combine Poison gland on right-ring finger and pheromone gland into two identical pheromone glands that can voluntarily produce an otherwise subtle scent that can be easily traced back to its source by any identical pheromone gland.
Continue trying to befriend the Invisible Woman and ask if she has any requests, such as gliding wings, or duplicate organs, or extra energy reserves to let her use her powers more before she exhausts them.
(2) You ask if there is anything special that she would like changed, but she says that she would be happy to just be her old self again. Instead of wasting your time actually downgrading her you try to improve yourself, trying to overhaul much of your body simultaneously. Unfortunately this becomes too much for your poor brain to handle all at once and you fall to the ground, a feeling like the most massive brain freeze of your life overtaking you. The Invisible Woman looks concerned when you fall down, but after rolling around on the ground and moaning lightly for a minute or two you get back up and tell her that you're fine.
Create a shell around the ball, stabilizing it and not allowing it to explode until I utter the password.
(6+1=6) Assuming that the hum coming from the shadowy orb can only mean that it will explode you quickly get to work on creating a shell to contain its explosiveness until you want it released. It is rather easy to create a hardened shell of darkness around it, but soon after it is complete you find to your dismay that it starts cracking under the building pressure from within. There seems to be no other way to deal with this other than pouring more power into the shield, though that is how the explosive little orb was made in the first place. The cracks disappear, but as soon as you stop focusing on the shell it starts fracturing again, so the only way to keep the power inside the orb contained is to constantly channel some power into it.
Help load stuff into the van
"Hey, if those black suits are going to be back, we should leave them a little present "
(4) You see Zieg trying and having little success in moving the gold, and realize that with your powers it will be easy as apple pie on a Sunday morning. A few bars at a time you move the large pile of gold, teleporting to the van to drop it off before teleporting back to the vault to grab a few more. About half of the pile is quickly relocated to the back of the van, and you feel rather pleased with yourself.
Realising that his face is not the only part of his body, I stab him twice in the chest area.
(5) This biker is getting quite tiresome, so you decide to just stab him in the chest.
(4/1) Two times you lash out, the first strike he manages to dodge, but that just leads him straight into the second one. Out of balance he has no chance to avoid the strike, and the blade sinks into his flesh,
(6-1=5) but not much else as it misses all important internal organs. At least you managed to piss him off.
I collect additional metal from the surroundings and layer it upon the outside of Bullseye's coffin, and beginning to spike the metal inward repeatedly.
(1+1+1=3) You manage to find some more metal to add to Bullseye's casket, and then decide to turn it into an iron maiden. Spikes start to grow inward,
(1) and muffled screams are heard from within your instrument of torture and death. After a while the screams stop, either because the man inside is so injured that he cannot scream or because he has simply died. You won't know until you open the metal surrounding him, and you decide to wait a few minutes to ensure that he dies first.
*I'll reflect on if I can get my body to recover from my burns faster. Barring that, I'll make sure to use plenty of burn gel and lotion from the med-kits and work on stretching.*
(3) You think and think and think some more, but you simply cannot come up with a way to heal your burns any faster. At least the burn gel is labeled 'extra soothing', so you get to work on applying some more of it on all the burns, which is pretty much your entire body. Rebecca offers to help you, so you did kind of get a massage, which isn't all that bad.
(GM) Help load the van
(3) You help with loading the gold, not having all that much more success than Zieg. After a few minutes of backbreaking labor you realize that you could just have used your powers and mentally slap yourself for that little brain fart.
Enemy Actions (Heroes/Hostiles)...
(2) The soldiers bicker some more about who should sit closest to Jacobs in the APC, none of them wanting to be closest to the potentially dangerous superhuman. The general simply rubs his temples and mutters something about 'Incompetent idiots.'
...
(6) After briefly speaking with the general he looks like he is about to take off again, but then just stands there. Instead of flying away he walks into the building, punching and subsequently shattering the wall in the lobby. Something really pissed him off.
...
(2) He just sits around for a while, quite obviously bored out of his mind.
Watch the soldiers
(3) He sits there, looking at the soldiers with great interest, and Reaper gets the feeling that he is either silently laughing at them or finds them very annoying.
...
(1) No signs of life come from the inside of the spiked iron casket.
Remodel Cheetahr's face
(1) He grabs a tire iron and lunges at Cheetahr with a guttural scream of anger, but instead of getting a chance to strike at his opponent his quite stupid attack gives his opponent a chance to strike at him.
(1) Due to flying through the air and all there is really nothing he can do to avoid the strike,
(3-1-1=1) and the knife wielded by Cheetahr is slammed through his windpipe. He gurgles for a bit before falling still and silent, and Cheetahr pulls his knife free.
...
(1+5=6) It seems quite disgusted with its previous owner's stupidity, and Cheetahr gets the feeling that it is calling to him.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians)Help Blarney
(4) She gets some burn gel and starts applying it to his burns.
Stand guard
(2) He stands around doing nothing at all, but looking like he considers it important that he does so.
Guard master
(3) He still glares at the shadowy orb quite angrily, obviously distrustful of the little thing.
Thief!
(6) It blasts off after Diakron, bleeping loudly and unintelligibly. As he unloads the computer into the van it swooshes by, grabbing the computer and taking off before anyone can do anything about it. After getting back to its car it deposits the computer inside and lands on top of it, obviously suspicious that someone else will come along and try to steal its stuff.
Check for signs of life
(6) He reaches out with his mind, trying to connect with Bullseye. But he finds nothing, which probably means that there is no living man inside the metal shell.
Get up again
(6-3=3) She actually manages to shakily get to her feet, although she can barely do anything but stand at the moment.
Environment: It is dark as night over New York, thanks to Lucien's curse.
The bikers surrounding Cheetahr are momentarily confused by the death of their leader, but soon start cheering, apparently accepting him as the new boss man.
