Turn 127
"Hey! Hades! I have a favor to ask. Could you fix my car? That'd be nice of you."
Go back to my vault to raid the secure storage boxes
(5) You pop into the air beside Hades and quickly ask him to fix the car, pretty please with sugar on top, and then teleport back to your original location before you hit the ground. Deciding that it is time for some looting you teleport into the vault and get to work on opening the boxes, using your laser pistol to fry the locks. After a small time of looting you have opened roughly half of the boxes, finding a large amount of jewelry, some mostly useless family portraits and documents, bonds, and a computer disc.
Sit down. Pray, I guess.
(3) You sit down on your knees and clasp your hands, reciting a prayer you learned a long time ago. There are no obvious results, other than Spider Man thinking that you are highly religious, and you can only assume that the gods are too busy doing other stuff to listen right now.
"But what if people could sense dangers, live in harsh conditions, or survive falling down a simple flight of stairs? This world could be so much more!"
I try to improve the invisible woman's view of changing people.
I try to restore the form and function of her shoulder
filling the hole with electroreceptors.
I try to fix my Poison gland so that it doesn't leak anymore.
(5) You make a very compelling argument, and she concedes that it would be beneficial for mankind to be improved, but that you should ask first. After this you get to work on fixing her shoulder,
(4+1=5) quickly making it even better than before, not only repairing it but also giving it the ability to detect electrical currents.
(2+1=3) But your attempts to fix your finger-mounted poison gland are not met with the same success, as you only manage to slow the dripping a little.
Try to focus the darkness into a ball.
(2+1+2=5) With very little effort you manage to focus some darkness into a ball, but then comes the question of what one would actually do with such a thing. It might be possible to use it as a weapon, but it weighs about as much as a normal tennis ball, despite being the size of a football, so that might not work. If you break it then maybe the darkness would flow out, darkening the immediate area even more? You should really test that, although it would probably have a rather negligible effect in the current state of general darkness.
Help Luke loot the vault
(6) You watch Blarney unsuccessfully try to open the vault, and since he failed you will have to step up to the plate. Or rather, you will have to find someone else to do it since you can't yourself. After a bit of thinking you run off in search of Nitro, deciding that his explosive powers will be useful here, and find him standing around near the fortress. He doesn't see any reason not to help, being a large fan of money himself, so the two of you run back to the vault.
I will quickly grab and rip out his eyes before he can block.
(5) With a yell that would make the oldest of Asian Kung-Fu masters proud you snap out with your hands, fingers ready to plunge into your opponent's eye sockets and tear his eyes out.
(6) The man manages to close his eyes in time to prevent your eye-pinching, but you still hit him with a sizable amount of force straight in the face,
(4-1=3) most definitely giving him a pair of black eyes.
I lift up a small group of small, sharp projectiles and railgun them into Bullseye.
(6+1+1=6) You focus your powers on your surroundings, trying to lift up a few projectiles to hurl at Bullseye, but you put a little too much power into the effort. Or rather a large, large amount above what is necessary.
(5) The state of the surroundings mean that there is very little further damage done, it already being little more than rubble, and the fortress is outside of the effects. Bullseye isn't though, and now he is faced by the combined debris of an entire city block flying in his general direction.
(4-1-1=2) There is no real chance for him to dodge the attack, it coming from basically every direction,
(2-1=1) and he gets speared to the ground by several pieces of rebar.
(2) He sputters a bit of blood, and is obviously grievously wounded, but still he clings to life.
Practice more, try running through walls.
(4+1=5) You start to run, heading straight for a wall at the end of the corridor. Moments before you hit it and subsequently crush your nose you focus your powers on loosening the molecular bindings in it, and by the time you hit it is nothing more than loosely held together dust. As you crash through the metallic dust goes flying in every direction, and you feel pretty satisfied with yourself.
walk in, introduce myself and get to work repairing the electrical system
(1) You see someone fly around in the air near the fortress-like structure, and so decide to say hello to him first, thinking that he is some sort of guard or sentry. But before you can reach him everything made of metal around you starts to shift, pieces of it starting to fly through the air,
(3) and you are knocked down by a small chunk of it that struck your leg.
(4) The hit only caused some bruising and falling over made sure you weren't hit by any of the more dangerous pieces, so overall you were lucky. Now that the little event if over you get back up and continue on your quest to introduce yourself to the flying man.
(GM) Try to open the vault
(6) You start to turn the dial of the lock at random, hoping to open it by pure luck,
(1+1+1=3) but fail to find the right combination. At least you didn't trigger any security measures.
Enemy Actions (Heroes)Search for Bullseye
(2) He flies around some more, but still can't locate Bullseye.
Watch Seinfeld reruns
(1) The reception is bad, and so he angrily hurls the TV out the window at the prospect of missing his favorite show.
Guard Reaper
(5) He ignores the TV crashing to the pavement a few feet away and keep observing Reaper's praying.
Attack Hades
(1) He is too busy being nailed to the ground to really move all that much,
(5) but at least his wounds have stabilized somewhat.
Carve Cheetahr a superfluous new orifice
(4) He twirls his knife a few times before lunging at Cheetahr,
(3+1+1=5) but hitting nothing but air as his target easily sidesteps his attack.
Look masculine
(4+5=6) His jawline is so massively manly that words cannot describe this chiseled granite outpost of pure manhood. Suffice to say that it is the manliest sight Cheetahr has ever seen.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians)Find Blarney
(1) She can't seem to find him, despite him standing right out in the open.
Crack open the piggybank
(1) He smiles widely and jumps at the door to the vault, intending to explode as soon as he hits it. But instead he just fizzles a little and hits it head-first,
(4) rolling around on the ground clutching his head for a few moments.
Guard Lucien
(6) He seems to think that the shadow ball is for some reason a danger and quickly throws himself at it, as if trying to shield Lucien from a grenade. Instead nothing happens and he looks rather embarrassed as he returns the orb.
Build stuff
(1+1=2) It stares, as well as a drone can stare, at the things it has gathered, trying to figure out if it will be enough.
Crazy-stare Bullseye
(2) He decides that he'd rather not get too close to the fight after seeing Hades' attack.
Get rid of the paralysis.
(2) After Mutosis is done working she keeps intently sitting there, doing everything she can to get rid of the paralyzing poison coursing through her veins. Which is absolutely nothing.
Environment: It is dark as night over New York, thanks to Lucien's curse.
Time: 09:15
