Hero's Unlimited: The Catsiverse: The Viper Wars

[catsi563]

Green Lantern and Kris

As you zoom up the tunnel you take a couple of quick twists that end up with you in what is suprisingly a good sized underground lake. The cavern its in is natural though there is some evidence that the cave is inhabited. Mainly the evidence is the remains of numerous dead animals which the rings database identifies as cattle or sheep, even a horse, also several seals, and even the remains of a pilot whale litter the shores of the lake.

As your floating above the lakes waters contemplating the situation the two Crocs you were facing prove to be more stubborn then a croc should normaly be thanks to the Dyne in their systems as they burst through a section of wall near where you hear sewer water rushing.

The lake and the cave its in appear to be somewhat close to the tunnels the usurper dug, and by proxy the sewer system. As the calls for help from the search team come in your 2 playmates from before the scent of your blood on their noses and the taste of it on their jaws snarl and hiss at you as they snap at you.

Also behind you something moves through the waters of the lake the bubbles come to the surface showing several trails of 9 long sleek objects moving through the waters behind you.

Shock

Electric sparks jump off you and run along the walls of the sewer tunnels. Numbers and markings clearly marked and written in the fresh paint that shows the newness of the sewer sytem barely a year after they were rebuilt in the wake of the Usurpers invasion.
Numbers fly by as quickly as your feet move D-12, D-18, D-22, finally you reach D-24 and there you find the 3 scientists franticly working on their wounded comerade who is bleeding profusely.

Before you can say anything to them or greet them in any fashion a young woman on the team looks up at you with ane xpression of terror as she shrieks and points behind you. A look behind you makes you wish you hadnt as the epxlosive snarling of 2 of the ugliest nastiest looking Dogs you've ever seen announces their presence and intent.

You'd heard about some odd Urban legends and the possibility of mutations in the sewers before but never thought you'd see one. Well at least it isnt alligators right?

For Shock a full round action gets you to the junction you need to be in and from there we will resume standard initiative.

So updated Initiative order is as follows

Hornet 24
Shock 23
Gator 23
Goliath 21
Kris Majax 21
Marissa 21
the scientists (normals) 21
Doc 20
Crocs 13
Kevin and the Guards 12
Green Lantern 4
Dogs 4

So Hornet is up

[Tattooedman]

Hornet:
[Kirk McGlothlin]
HP: 3

"A little help here if anyone could lend me a hand"

"A little help is my specialty." Hornet answers back, his tone falling back into his joking ways. Kirk couldn't help it, it was how he dealt with stress; never let 'em see you sweat and leave 'em with a smile.

A pair of ZZOOOTTTSS!!! echo in the tunnel as he fires off a pair of blasts, one towards the dog that's wearing his teammate down while the other one is aimed at the dog he's already been dealing with.

Going for the dog attacking Goliath. Blaster Attack: (1d20+10=27), again if it connects it's a Toughness DC 25.

Then came a Surge for a second attack, targeting the dog Hornet's already shot once before. Blast Attack: (1d20+10=27). Shoot, hit & repeat, another Toughness DC 25.

And I find it funny I roll the same total for both rolls.

[catsi563]

Hornet

The Hornet stings are once again well aimed and powerfully effective as the Sheppard that was attacking you, and the Pitbull on Goliath Yelp in pain before they are rendered unconcious.

Doggy 1, and 2 Toughness saves 7, 14 yeah those both fail and as the one attacking Goliath was injured prior to this, and the sheppard fails its roll by a lot both are out.

Oh TM I didnt see it mentioned but Im presuming you HPd the surge?

Just as an FYI because it affects you the most, the fatigue on a surge can affect you or the device as appropriate to the action or scene ok?

Shock is up.

Green Lantern and Kris

The bubbling under the water slowly reveals itself into the forms of 9 large Crocodiles each one hissing and snarling in that low menacing tone of theirs as they surge out fo the water and surround the prey dangling above their heads.

For all of the fact that your basicly floating over an underground lake of large hungry crocodiles, the Ring is suprisingly quiet in its warnings of danger. it usually is vocaly dinging that you're in danger.

Initiative remains the same for you guys and Ill need Notice checks for both of you please.

Is it wrong I'm stuck between 'donating these creatures to science' or 'kickass Alligator Skin Suit'

Notice (1d20+12=27)

[Shock]

Shock
HP: 2

Chris wasn't sure what he was expecting but this was beyond it. He yelled to the scientists. "Stay back! Help is on the way!" He needed to keep those dogs, if you could still call them that, away from the civilians. He wondered where their escorts were and if there were any more threats. But he had to take care of these beasts two first. And he'd have to be careful about friendly fire with all the water around. Electrifying his body would be out of the question as long as anyone else was around.

Shock planted himself between the dogs and the scientists and let loose a blast of lightning at the closer of the two, hoping it would be enough to even the odds.

I'll take 10 on a Lightning Blast for a 19 attack. That's a DC 26 if it's a hit.

Kris Majax

Notice: 1d20+7=17

[Aerlwyn]

Goliath
Hp 0
Condition Bruised x2


Goliath holding her bleeding arm "anyone have a medkit i really need one here, dont have a clue what those dogs were. Doc what were those and do we have anything to worry about if they bit us?" Goliath asks.

[catsi563]

Shock

The dogs snarling grows in intensity as they approach you and just as they look like theyre going to jump at you you snap a lightning bolt at one. The high voltage blast snaps the dog backwards across the floor as it yelps in pain and the smell of singed fur fills the junction causing its partner to hesitate only a moment.

The injured dog though stands again shakes its head and its snarling resumes in unison with its partner as it again adavnces on you.

As they advance you begin to see things that the scientist in you is catching that worry you. These dogs are showing clear signs of dratic mutation. They are larger and heavier then they should be, and their eyes are contrasitng red and yellow. A cursory glance would almost say rabies but they dont show any of the classic signs.

while you were talking with the scientists and studing the materials they had you suddenly recall that they had prior encoutners with animals mutated by Dyne exposure.

If thats what this is, then you may have a serious problem here.

Easy hit and yes it is a minion and so you can take 10 no sweat.

Doggys toughness save 23 fails by 3 and its injured. as a tough minion it needs one mroe hit to go down.

Golaith is up.

Kris and Green Lantern

While you float above the snapping and hissing crocs you hear the heavy foot steps of something large and heavy approaching your position.

One thing though catches your eye. These crocs look drasticaly different from the two you ran into prior, they do not show the yellow/red eyes or aggressive tendancies.

They just look hungry. As the foot steps gett louder the crocs suddenly get quieter and begin to spread out a little around you while they still hiss at you and never take their eyes off you the hissing seems less agressive.

Mere moments later a large individual nearly 8 almost 9 feet tall walks into the cavern and looks up at you and opens a mouth full of teeth as it roars in anger at your intrusion into its lair a massive tail as long as its body lashes back and forth behind it as it throws down a full sized cow which lands with a meaty thud at its feet.

notice checks are solid and enough to note the differences between these and the ones you fought earlier.

and this big boy walked in and joins the party

Goliath levels the gun and fires it at dog attacking her.

Kris Majax

"You have got to be kidding!"

New Init?

[Nineofspades]

Green Lantern
HP 4

"You have got to be kidding!"

"Well...thats not something you see every day" I comment in agreement. However, after a few moments of thought, in the general unpredictibility of my life and the various oddities which propogate it, I add on "Well, maybe every other day. But not every day. But hay, as long as they are down there, and we are up here, then were all set."

I generate a small floating platform for Kris to Stand on, so I can better focus on sniping these over sized handbags.

Kris and Green Lantern

The hissing of the large Gator like man rises in intensity and is matched by the others before suddenly he snarls in a gravely voice "You is green, you with green monsters!"

"Where you am taking gators brothers and sisters$!?" he nearly roars before launching himself through the air in a prodigous leap that ends up with him slamming into Ashley and biting down. The sudden massive weight is enough to throw you both for a loop.

No need for a new initative same one stands

Gators attack 19 barely hits GLs defence for a DC 29 toughness save as he bites

Youll need a concentration check to maintain the construct Kris is standing on.

Kris is up barring our new comer rolling higher

[catsi563]

Wanderer

In many ways this new world is a fascinating place filled with many things both terrifying and awe inspiring. Teh sight of buildings made of glass and steel that stretch to the sky, of horseless carriages, and other such things.

But also like your world you have found evil. Selfish or greedy beings who take what isnt theirs to satisfy their selfish desires. Power hungry and ambitious beings that cause misery destruction for their own ends irregardless of who gets hurt or what lives get ruined in the process.

Such as the Usurper an armored warlord of immense power that invaded the city a mere month before your arrival. You witnessed the rebirth of the city into an amazing master piece of work. Something that showcased the power of the human spirit.

You've had the opportunity to meet many souls both friendly and not so friendly, souls kind and not so kind, souls generous and again not so much.

You are currently on your way down through a system of caves that you discovered in the wake of the construction where you met one of those gentle souls. While your initial meeting was on the rough side you did work your differences out and discovered him to be thoughtful and kind.

He even agreeed to help you protect the small community of homeless that chose to remain that way inspite of the numerous shelters built for the purpose of housing those who lost everything in the invasion.

As you make your way down you see something odd in the distance the flashes of a bright emerald light and the snarling of angry crocodiles.

it looks like your friend has company.

Quick initative check and well get the fast and dirty intro out of the way.

Law of Narritive Causality. The moment someone points out that everything is safe/fine, or points out an easy solution to the present situation, they will instantly and painfully be proven wrong.

Toughness Save DC 29 (1d20+12=30)

Concentration (1d20+18=35)


And my statistically unlikely lucky streak continues. Praise To the Almighty Dodecahedron

"Flying Gator!" Was about all I had time to shout between the Croc Mans Leaping into the air, and his impact into me. Thankfully, the guys teeth couldn't punch through my aura, but he did knock me about something fierce, though thankfully, the guys about the same size and shape as Kilowag, so before I can even direct my conciseness mind to do so, I reflexively toughen up my constructs, preventing them from breaking under the sudden shock.

Kris Majax

Kris is able to keep his balance, thanks to Ashley's precise control. "GL, he mentioned Green Monsters. He thinks we're with the trolls!"

Turning to the Gator Man, "Please stop. We are not with the green monsters. We are trying to stop them."

Diplomacy: 1d20+2=10
Sad, sad, sad.
