Turn 140
"Wow, didn't know sentences went that high. You've got a deal, Director; but to be honest I won't be as much help as I could be until I get this arm fixed."
(6) For a moment he just stares, a moment more and his face starts to turn red with rage, and even you, a superhuman, feel uncomfortable under his gaze. Then he speaks, his voice like daggers of ice laced with murderous intent, forged in the frigid basement of hell, “Tell me, captain, why this man has been in our custody for nearly an hour and has yet to receive any proper medical attention.”
The man who looks like a general squirms a bit, “I – that is to say we – didn't know if you wanted us to restore a possible threat to full health. And, no disrespect intended Director Fury, Sir, but I'm a General. Sir.”
“Not anymore,
captain, now get this man some medical attention before I demote you to scrubbing latrines in Alaska. Jacobs, you'll be briefed on your task shortly.”
The screen turns off and the general-turned-captain trembles for a few moments, then starts yelling at his men to get, a direct quote, 'the fucking freak' back to the infirmary. He is quite obviously pissed off beyond belief at you, which would have been worse had he still been a general, but you will fear no lowly captain. They bring you to the sickbay and start working on your arm, setting it back in place, the experimental nanobots do the rest.
Using the map as a sort of visual guide, teleport to the holding cells.
(6-1=5) You stare at the map for a few more seconds, imprinting the exact location of the holding cells in your mind. A small silent prayer is mumbled that whoever drew the map was good at it, and then you teleport away in flash of light. At first you see only darkness, then you realize that you holding your hands over your head and remove them, through the small slit in the box you survey the room you have appeared in, and unless you are seriously mistaken it is some kind of temporary prison. Everywhere you look you can see people, most wearing some sort of armor or costume, imprisoned behind bars that crackle lightly with energy.
Turn around and burn the entire field to ashes. Wait for someone to arrive.
(4+1=5) You roar with rage at the insolence of the people who did not arrive when you needed a ride, flame bursts forth from your hands, exploding outwards akin to a reflection of the roaring rage within you. But just as you are about to incinerate the field you get a better idea, and simply toss a small fireball into it. It catches fire, a plume of smoke rising towards the sky for all to see. It only takes a minute or so for the familiar sound of sirens to be heard, and you get to work on the second part of your cunning ruse. From the netherworld you summon up an icy blast of energy and get to work on putting out the fire. When the firemen arrive in their trucks they see only a man helping them put out the fire, and when you ask they are more than happy to give you a ride back into town, for helping them put out the fire. So now you've reached Grayson, and have only to find Cheetahr.
"Bystanders, civilians, lend me your ears!"
I make a speech in the attempt of converting the citizenry to my gang.
(3+1=4) You keep speaking of the great greatness of what you are trying to accomplish,
(1) but they don't seem very impressed, a few of them leave, and one of the remaining people throws a bottle towards you and yells 'Go back to Russia, you damn commie!' Although the man who accused you of being a commie is clearly a stupid redneck you realize that in order to sway these people you'll have to change your approach. And then forcibly remove the stupid redneck's spleen with a rusty knife.
I set up the wiring for the building using my powers to move the copper wiring and set up the insulation from the plastics in the leftover nonmetals from the junkyard, also trying to make sure that all the wires that come out of the walls are appropriately configured for the attaching of outlets.
(4+1+1=6) Electrical wiring starts to snake its way through the walls under your watchful guidance, poking out everywhere you feel needs an outlet. It isn't actually all that much work, since you only have a few rooms to do, but you will still need to find something to actually connect to those electrical outlets. Such stress!
Try to learn the form of at least one of the thugs
(3) You stare very intently at one of the thugs, trying to commit everything about his appearance to memory. It takes you a few minutes to realize it, but the guy you chose looks almost exactly like the scary black man form, almost as if the world was populated mostly by unimportant copies, extras if you will, who have no other task than to make the significant people look interesting. At least he looks a little freaked out by your staring at him, that counts for something righ?
Mutosis attempts to develop a second respiratory system for breathing underwater, and heads towards the outflow, hoping to find it unguarded...
(2) A vision comes to you, of yourself blasting forth under the water like a fighter jet, an underwater fighter jet, breathing water as a mere mortal would air. That seems really cool so you get to work on mutating a pair of gills, throwing yourself into the muck when you think you're done. Almost immediately you shoot out again, coughing and sputtering, it appears that you only managed to create a pair of skinflaps on your throat, not actual gills. And you also attempted to try them out in raw sewage, which is just nasty. You never really wanted to be some sort of aqua-man anyways, what kind of lame power is that?
KILL! the tank MUST be mine!
(5) You go all Mohammad Ali on their faces, if Ali could punch with the force of a bolt of lighting, that is.
(3/2) The one furthest from you manage to scurry away from your fists of fury, but his friend is not so lucky, getting hit squarely over the jaw.
(3-1=2) He doesn't die, but most of his brain if fried, so he's pretty much a vegetable, also his jaw is broken and he's knocked out by the punch.
*Hops out of the vehicle and gives a crooked sort of grin.*
"We've brought what we promised the ... Ironmonger. The gold is in the back, here are the keys. Let's make the trade."
(2) “No so fast,” the lead thug says to you, “I wasn't born yesterday. Slowly open the back of the van, I don't want no ambush.” He doesn't seem to trust you.
Try again, ask the drone if he can spare some help (He is probably multicore so he can hack and build at same time).
(1) You try to repeat your earlier success, but your pretty much total lack of any real skill complicates matters as you just start hitting keys at random and hoping for the best. The best doesn't happen, what does happen is that the screen gets covered in large red letters that read 'Emergency Shutdown Initiated.' The computer is now completely unresponsive.
Enemy Actions (Heroes/Hostiles)Fight!
(3) The remaining crewman does not intend to go down without a fight, trying to get at Diakron to strangle him,
(5) but Diakron just replies with a swift kick to the face,
(4) and he is forced to leap back to avoid it.
Arrest Nitro
(5) He places something on Nitro's head, slaps on some high-tech handcuffs and the flies off with him.
Slay the fiend
(4+2=6) Ares is quite angered by Zach's attempt to ambush him, letting forth an incomprehensible battlecry before charging like a herd of steel-tipped elephants.
(6+1-4=3) Zach only just manages to jump to the side enough to avoid getting split down the middle, but his arm is still in the path of the angry god's weapon.
(5-2=3) A few fingers get cut off, but judging by how deep the axe dug into the ground he got off easy.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians)Try to convince thugs of Blarney's trustworthiness
(4) She emerges from her hiding place to deliver a speech on how great Blarney is,
(1) but the lead thug tells her to go back to the kitchen and let the men deal with business.
Look at the pretty colors
(1) He is still out cold as Iron Man flies off with him.
Tactical retreat
(5) One does not survive for hundreds of years in hell itself if one is an idiot, so Zach is quite aware that this is a fight he cannot win. Seeing as how facing down a real live god will likely lead to him getting various parts of his body lopped off he decides to remove himself from the battle, which is to say that he's going to run away. And he's surprisingly good at it, probably reaching at least forty miles per hour.
Assimilate
(6+1=6) ...
Try to make thugs trust him
(2) He momentarily thinks about using his powers to implant thoughts into the minds of the thugs, but thinks better of it, not wanting to blow it in case he fails.
Set up shop
(4) They start exploring the newly aquired base.
