Its back.
Turn 21 - Force your Way!(Force your way is the boss battle theme from Final Fantasy 8, which is re-done as a song by the Black Mages, so it is a song title.)
I don my deoderant. I then head inside, and try to rally all of the policemen there to follow me. I will head to the towering golem at F14 with whatever policemen there are that are willing to follow me.
[4] You put on your deoderant, and talk with the policemen, giving an inspiring speech. A grand number of policemen heed your call to arms and are willing to join the fight against the colossus. They will be ready to move out next turn. You decide to wait for them instead of rushing out.
Help Lauren dig the way out, if she digs out on own or if the Golem does it for me work on repairing my golem friends. Also supply them with witty names
[2] You realise that you would merely get in the way if you tried to help, and instead you look around and try to think of witty names for your golems. You are too mesmerised by the shiny stuff in Lauren's house to think of any.
Search carefully for secret ways in.
[5] You search every nook and cranny on the building, and find a brick that has a different colour to the rest of them. You fiddle with it a fair bit, and it flips up, revealing a big button. You instinctively press it, and a section of the wall opens itself! You now stand at the entrance to the building, and you can hear muffled voices from inside.
gain concoiusness if a cant try to find out what those voices are and where did they come from
[3-2=2, failguard] You can't cause yourself to wake, so you think about the voices. Because they have subsided, you don't learn anything about them. You sigh, or try to, and feel like you are moving. It seems your body is working on getting conscious.
I try to memorize the last act in the script.
[6-1] You put to memory every last section of your part. Several other actors look full of themselves. The play will start next turn.
I sit down on the throne in the Colossus control room and connect with it. Then I move towards G7, crushing everything in my way. Everything
[3] You connect with the golem effortlessly, and begin your march of evil. You don't get too far, because you are intent on smashing
everything, which slows you down. It is fun though, so you keep it up. You make it to G12, and you have destroyed 32 cars, 3 trucks, a bus, 7 buildings, and even an ice-cream van. You made 7 children cry. You have killed 57 people so far.
I'll head down into the sewers and then detonate the house.
[1] As you attempt to slip into the sewers, you accidentally set off the detonator! You house goes up in a larger boom than you thought it would, and several pieces of debris are flying your way!
[1] You seem stuck in your predicament, and a piece of wood smashes you dead on!
[3] It ploughs into your right arm, and in the reaction to the blow, you fall into the sewers. You pull yourself out of the muck, and sit down against a wall in the sewers. Your arm is most assuredly broken.
Call police. Tell them I left them a present outside. Demand $500,000 in small bills be brought to my room by a single unarmed and nude police officer. Tell them I will start blowing off limbs after 30 minutes, and I will kill the hostages if I can detect any other police near the building.
[2] You call the police HQ, but they pass your threats off as a prank call. Mostly. One squad car is now en route to your position. You look for, and find, a megaphone.
Time for taking the high ground. I shift claws on my hands and drastically increase my leg and arm strength by shifting better muscles. I then climb a nearby building to its roof and look around for interesting events/places, as well as helicopters. Run away from anything that tries to kill me. That includes giant earth golems.
[6] You form your hands into claws, and begin to re-structure your muscles. It goes off well, and you also make yourself slightly lighter, to increase speed. You climb up to the top of the nearest building with feline agility, and see, a leg. You swiftly dodge it, as it wrecks the house you are standing on! You climb onto the top of another, and follow it. It is a good thing it was slowing down to wreck things, otherwise you would have lost it. You are now in G12.
Continue walking, and purchase a newspaper if I get the chance, I also seek to purchase an outrageous fake moustache and a hat covering my face in eternal shadows, and some earwigs.
[4] You don't find a newspaper, but you do find a hairdressers. You spend $17 on ear wigs and a fake moustache.
(GM'd)Keep heading for referendum!
[3] You decide to walk there, without using powers, to avoid early suspicion. You get to H8.
Time:9:10 AM
Weather: [6] (To clarify, higher rolls mean more activity) A bunch of mean looking clouds are coming over.
News: [1] (To clarify some more, higher rolls means more relevant news) Just stuff on the referendum.
NPC ActionsLook around.
[2] It cannot find a single trace of anything.
Guard the house.
[2] It simply gets between the front door and the street.
Smash through the ice to the house.
[4] It smashes most of the way through the ice, there is little left.
Break the rest of the ice.
[3] Her efforts, though meagre, are enough to break through the ice wall! There is now nothing stopping her or Kyeti from leaving.
They power the massive golem.
Fight demon!
[2] Mittens charges the demon, but the attack is so pathetic, the demon doesn't even have to dodge.
Take gunner position!
[5] He opens a hatch in the roof and takes up a gunner position with his pistol.
Drive!
[1] He drives with little effort or success, smashing into several things on the path. You all make it to G4, and the car has taken light damage.
Handcuff criminal.
[4] This may be the first thing he has done right! He handcuffs Gabriel.
Immolate Gargoyle!
[3+1] It sends a jet of unholy fire at Mittens!
[3+1] Mittens is very nimble, and dodges the blast.
Call for more backup!
[1-1] The police HQ decides to call this whole thing off as a hoax... Until a great number of people all call the police, with the same story. No matter how pathetic the attempt is, because there is so many people calling, it is successful. This has also raised Mr.Black's wanted level to 6.
[4] Two police cars, filled with magic users, are now speeding to the scene.
