A New Day is Dawning (IC)

[RickAllison]

On the evening of May 2, 2016, San Francisco was quiet. A light fog was covering the city and the occasional dinging of the trolley could be heard, but all was not right in the city on the bay. Either through TV, radio, or even just passing by at the right time, ABC7 news anchor Ama Daetz signals breaking news:

"Breaking news for the San Francisco area, as a series of robberies have broken out in Westfield San Francisco Centre and Union Square. Numerous shops were smashed apart and stripped of valuable goods. We are currently trying to get a visual from our eyes in the skies, but we haven't been able to pick up the trail."

"This just in, a kind viewer sent us a camcorder video of one of the break-ins. Let us see what these criminals were doing..."

The video shows three culprits committing the burglaries. One appears to be a very large man clad entirely in red and sporting a large set of metal horns. The second looked even larger, but was naked excepting a set of briefs and the gratuitous levels of body hair and with organic horns. The third was very different, looking like an ordinary man but for the Spanish-looking outfit he wore.

"We have reports that the trio of criminals has just been spotted by police over at Pier 39. They- oh my gosh, they threw that police van into the bay! These three aren't human!"

The cameras cut to helicopter reporter, who has a bird's eye-view to the trio flinging the police around and negating all attempts at capture. The cops do not appear to stand a chance against these crooks. Who can help San Francisco with...

The Running of the Bulls!

[John Cribati]

A lesser person would let the cops deal with the situation, probably under the guise of escorting civilians to safety.

It would be hilarious, she mutters to herself.

Instead, though, Alloy enters the scene arrayed in her armor, flying out over the bay, takes a mental hold on the sinking police van and drags it up out of the water, to set it gently down on solid ground. Then, with a slight flick of her wrist, she pops the car doors off their hinges, allowing the water (and whoever may have been left in there as it went down) to come rushing out.

[Wabbajack]

Whether by fate or serendipity another hero-to-be found herself close to the location of the crime. As she heard about the crime committed within her reach Remedy's heart started to beat fast. This was it, her moment to shine; she could already see the headline in the newspaper above her countenance - "Celebrated purple crime-fighter saves city." All she had to do was beat up a bunch of silly looking villains and make sure people watch.
For a moment she considered sneaking up on them, but she had to be seen; heroes don't sneak, they boldly declare themselves and strike at evil.
Her mind made up she rushes to the scene of the crime, jumps into view of the villains and loudly declares, hands on her hips:
"Halt, evildoers! Stop what you are doing without resistance and I may go easy on you!"

[Drakeburn]

It has been a long an uneventful day at the store for Tyler, that all that was on his mind at the moment was going to his apartment.

As he was on his way, he heard something happening, and it sounded like trouble, and it was pretty close.
Tyler briefly shook his head in disbelief before adjusting his hoodie to conceal his face and rushing off to see what was happening.

Tyler managed to arrive just as the police van was thrown into the bay.
Immediately, Tyler leaped into the water and swam underneath the van, hoping to catch it and lift it back onto the surface.
Before he could, Tyler suddenly witnessed the van go up out of the water and onto land.

For a moment, Tyler just floated down in the water, flabbergasted.

[Moro Asahina]

Today had started off so normal for Ed. She'd got up, gone to school, got bored in school, and eventually returned home with a particularly annoying assignment. Which is what led to her current situation. She was supposed to do a sketch of something she saw in the city that really spoke to her and start planning out the sculpture that would be her final for the class. The problem? Nothing really looked all that interesting at the moment. At least until she heard the commotion on the other side of the warehouses she'd been walking beside. A quick glance around revealed the street to be oddly empty. She hadn't a clue why that was, but it perfect for her as she ducked into one of the alleys between the warehouses and ran a hand over herself; Her features shifting into the form she'd chosen for her heroic persona, Caramel. The changes to her body were fairly subtle. The ones to her clothing though? Not so much. Where before she'd been wearing a rather plain pair of jeans and a hoodie, now she was left with an eye-catchingly short skirt and her usual layered top with a big floppy witch's hat perched atop her fiery mane to complete the outfit.

The sounds were coming from nearby, and she exited the alley just in time to see the van go sailing into the bay, clearly thrown by one of the weirdos in the funny outfits, only to fly back out as though someone was rewinding a tape to land near someone else. Huh, well thats a neat trick. She was just beginning to really look the situation over when a purple woman rushed out and took a suitably heroic pose and demanded surrender. With a soft giggle, Caramel sauntered over near where the armored woman was standing and reached up to scratch her head beneath her hat. "Soooo...what am I looking at here? Cause it kinda looks like some sort of crazy villainous three way date gone wrong." She cocked her head in thought for a moment before shrugging. "But considering some of my Exes I guess I shouldn't judge."

[Halfelf ninja]

When he heard the noise, jacob was in his apartment, working on his new book. He look out of the window and see the criminals. He concetrate, and his voice is echoing through his mind people like us endanger the name of our species, will help me? and yhe answer we will.
Jacob go to the back diir, wear bis hat and coat and then he concetrate again, the power flow thrkugh his body and when he is out of the apartment, an aura of glowing blue hands, and when he speaks, it suonds like thousend men are talking together "criminals like you bring bad name to your kind" he wave his hand, and the hands turn towards them "no more"

[RickAllison]

The three villains stop their rampage to look at the new arrivals, when the small one dressed in bright greens and golds with an oversized hat bursts out laughing.

"¿Esto es el mejor de la ciudad? No creo. Un caballero morado y una bruja. ¿Dónde estan los heroés de Nueva York? Saboread el acero de mi espada, heroés falsos."

With a flourish, the gaudy villain bares his sword and cape, points the sword downward in the direction of Remedy, and seems to await her attack.

[roll0]

He does not appear to be concerned by being outnumbered, and even seems to have a trace of a smile...

Meanwhile, his two large companions have returned to looting the stores. The red one looks back with a worried expression, but the hairy one is calm. Disturbingly calm, really.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy tilts her head to the side, not quite sure what to make of the situation.
"I have no idea what you just said, but I suppose you're resisting. Don't say I didn't warn you."
And with this Remedy springs into action, charging at the villain like a pouncing cat, her fingers turning into claws as she does so.

[John Cribati]

Come on, High School Spanish...

City, I don't believe... purple and a witch... New York... and probably something about fake heroes.

Nothing said about armor, or the guy who'd apparently jumped into the water before she picked up the van, or... the guy with all the hands. Yeah, not going anywhere near that one.

More importantly, the guy with metal on his head is completely ignoring the goings-on...

Subtly, she reaches out and snags a hold of the metal horns, turning them into a tight band that wraps around his eyes.

Initiative: [roll0]
Use Metal Sculpt on the metal horns as described.

[Moro Asahina]

Caramel gives the man a bright smile as she shifts her position to rest a hand on her hip and hold the other with her finger pointing up. "Now, I don't know what you just said, but it didn't sound like an apology and an offer to give back what you took sooo..." She gave her finger a little twirl and when she spoke, it was with an odd sing song inflection. "Change" A few arcs of what looked like pink electricity traveled up along her finger to reach out into the air and disappear less than an inch from the tip, only to reappear several feet above the hairiest of the trio as a rather gaudy rainbow colored steel sculpture of the young woman giving whomever her audience a double thumbs up and sporting a cheshire grin formed from thin air; Hanging for just a moment before gravity takes effect.


Going ahead and posting the IC version of her actions so as not to hold things up.

Out of habit I made my rolls in the OOC thread, but in the future I'll go ahead and make them here for ease of reference. That said, her initiative was a rather impressive 7 and the roll for material came up with the statue being made of metal. I'm assuming that the precise extra would allow her to change the color of the steel (I did go ahead and go with colors related to the actual material since it made sense) and be able to do at least a reasonable job of making it look like a 10'ish foot tall Caramel in her silly pose

[Halfelf ninja]

Jacob try to understand what the man just said, based on the spanish he learned durung his research in argentine, but he mostly focus on the thugs. He jumpa toward them, using the hands, and stand between them and the store "you see, i dont know about your boss, but you certinely look like mutants, which means that people think the whole mutant kind is bad because of you, which means i should take you down now" he look at their faces and smile "too fast? Dont worry, my friends will give you a summary" and the hands fly toward both of them, hitting them and then return to their places.


Initiative- 1d20+8
Attack anginst first thug- 1d20+5
Attack anginst second thug- 1d20+5

[Drakeburn]

Tyler quickly snapped out of it and swam back up, seeing more "weirdos" than before.
He watches as the villain with the sword say something in Spanish to some purple person.
"Heck with it." He sighed as he prepares for a great leap to the Spanish-speaking villain, hoping to land a the head as he comes down at the person in the Spanish outfit.

Tyler's Initiative: [roll0]

Move Action: Leaping 7 from Super Movement to Gaudy's position

Standard Action: Attack Gaudy

Attack Roll: [roll1] (with a Damage Difficulty Check of 27)

[RickAllison]

Alloy's quick manipulation twists Red Bull's horns over his eyes, and the behemoth seems to be having difficulty seeing anything.

The hairy bull charges into a jewelry store, sweeping a counter full of necklaces and rings into a large bag before exiting, snorting all the while.

Remedy's weapon is parried by the villain's blade, the hilt of which darts up to catch her in the ear. She is fast enough to block the attack, however, and avoids his reprisal.

The gaudy villain sees a new contender leaping towards him and prepares his blade.

As Tyler attempts to smash into the swordsman, his target flourishes his cape and, obscured, Tyler misses his target. He finds instead a searing pain on his brow and his vision is obscured by his own blood. The wound feels rather superficial, only concerning due to losing some of his vision. But how had he been hit? He should have been able to avoid that blade...

Tyler's vision, and so any ability checks having to do with said vision, are at -5. At the end of every turn, he can make a Will check of DC 15 to remove the condition.

The Red Bull is disquieted by his inability to see, and lashes out with his prodigious arms to catch whoever did this- but found no one there. "I'm getting out of here!" and the giant villain fled south.

As Spirit-arm descends onto the field, he misses the fleeing Red Bull, but manages to get a glancing strike onto his hairier accomplice.

Caramel's statue falls hard directly on the hairy bull. But it starts rising. A very ticked-off minotaur looks to have absorbed the entirety of the impact with his body and now is holding the very large statue up.

[Wabbajack]

Her attack blocked Remedy's white eyes take on an expression of annoyance.
"Be careful with that before you put out someone's eye."
She deftly dodges one of his strikes at her.
"And who even uses swords? You look so silly swinging that thing around."
She evades a second strike with a back-flip, her skin blurring and camouflaging her form with some kind of chameleonic power as she does so. When she lands Remedy quickly shifts out of her foe's field of vision, intend to use the appearance of what appears to be an ally to make the sword-wielder lose track of her.

Move to Hide:
[roll1]

[John Cribati]

Alloy almost dashes after the blinded red knucklehead, the garishly dressed toreador being able to handle two people at once changed those plans. At least the arm dude got a hit in, and the witch beside her managed to do something even more useful.

Serendipitous. Thanks a bunch, Sabrina.

Flying on her disc, she passes by the bullfighter to land on the Statue, trying to get a read on where his sword is for future reference, then breaks off a chunk of the statue, turning it into strong metal cord to try and bind the Minotaur.


Perception roll for Metal Detector to find Gaudy's sword: [roll0]
End movement near the Statue, use it as material for Chain Bind.
Attack Roll: [roll1]
Not sure how much of that he can dodge since he's holding the thing but a roll is a roll.

[RickAllison]

Alloy's chains snake down toward the minotaur, but he notices them and tosses the statue away. He looks rather miffed at having lost the weapon he was going to throw around...

"You break my statue? You will die!" The big oaf attempts to crush Alloy by leaping and crushing her under-hoof, but his hoof goes wide, shattering the head of Caramel's statue. That attack looks like it would not be fun to experience... He looks angry and much larger than he was before!

Remedy seems to disappear, and a frown shows upon the toreador's face.

Rapidly climbing onto his enlarged accomplice, the bull-fighter shouts, "Ya hemos completado nuestra trabajo, minotauro. Huye conmigo." He hangs on to the bull and brandishes his blade in the direction of the heroes.

[Drakeburn]

"My eyes!" Tyler let out with a hiss of pain as he put his hands over the cut over his brow and his eyes.
As Tyler tries to wipe his eyes, he could hear the matador speaking.
"Come back here!" Tyler calls out as he tries to see.

For my turn this round, I'm not taking any actions.

Will check to remove condition: [roll0]

[RickAllison]

Tyler's administering to his wounds staunches the flow of blood; he believes that it shouldn't bother him too much anymore.

Vision condition downgraded to only impaired rather than disabled; he only has a -2 to his vision checks now.

The Red Bull continues fleeing, ramming into the corner of a building as he goes. Bricks start falling off of it as the structure crumbles above.

[Halfelf ninja]

Spirit arm open his hands and then clap them, and shout "not so fast, redbull!" And he runs forward and jump, as the hands fly toward the red one and attempet to restrain him

Grab attempet
1d20+7

[RickAllison]

Spirit-Arm's grab attempt fails, and the creature running at full tilt is far enough away by the end of the round that SA doesn't think he is near fast enough to catch up. This bull seems much quicker on his feet than his hairier brother.

[RickAllison]

The witch chases after the fleeing bull at great speed- but you all hear a gunfire and a scream followed by a bright flash of light where Caramel had been! Several helicopters decked in black look to be approaching the scene. Emblazoned on the side is SFPD, but these vehicles certainly don't appear to be standard issue...

Alloy notices something... odd about the gunfire. The metal was unlike any she had ever sensed. Certainly not standard police issue. And the bullets seemed to have fragmented upon impact where normally they would deform.

[Drakeburn]

Even though Tyler couldn't see really clearly, he felt that what he could see was good enough for him.
Without another word, he runs full speed at the hairy minotaur, going in for a tackle.



Standard Action: Charge Action

Close Attack Roll: [roll0]

13 Damage DC

[John Cribati]

Alloy isn't sure what kind of building the Red guy knocked into, but it was never good for them to collapse. Especially if it was built a while ago. Picking up as much of the fragmented statue as she could (and slyly pocketing one of the weird gunfire shells) she flies over to the building and uses the mass of metal to brace it.


Using Metal Detector to perceive the building's frame:
[roll0]

And Insight to figure out the best way to support it:

[roll1]

And then Metal Sculpt to repair the building frame, as well as add the metal from the statue for extra support.

[Wabbajack]

Concealed from the villains' attention Remedy leaps at the bull-fighter, intend to throw him off his ally-slash-"steed".
"No escape!"

This happens after Big Bull's next action so doing the first of the following that's enough to reach the required movement.
1. Leaping 2 (30ft) while maintaining (partial) Concealment, Trip on the bull-fighter to drop him to the ground (as a Move-by Action if there's enough movement left to land)
2. Leaping 3 (60ft) instead, dropping Concealment (Move-by Action, if possible).
3. Extra Effort to move up to Speed 2 (120ft), then same as 1.
4. Same as 3 but dropping concealment (Speed 3 (240ft) and Leaping 3 (60ft).

Attack roll (let's hope the Agile Feint did the trick):
[roll0]
Trip Athletics roll (opposed by Acrobatics or Athletics):
[roll1]

[RickAllison]

Alloy successfully props up the building, and the hairy minotaur leaps into the bay, causing a significant splash.

Remedy and Tyler, do you wish to pursue him into the waters?

[Wabbajack]

Remedy does as was described above. If she lands in water skin grows between her claws until they resemble simple flippers and her feet shift into the shape of swimfins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimfin).

If she lands in water: Activate Environmental Adaptation: Water as a free action

[RickAllison]

As you enter the water, you see a large submarine sailing away, and the minotaur is standing on top of it with the swordsman holding on. Your attack catches him by surprise and he is launched away from the vehicle.

Seeing the submarine sailing too fast to keep up, he tries to rise to the surface before his air runs out.

The first helicopter approaches Alloy, Tyler, and Spirit-arm, and you all hear a loud voice coming from speakers on it: Cease your rampage and surrender, you are under arrest.

Tyler, you see the hairy minotaur with the bull-fighter jump into the bay. Do you want to follow? If you follow into the water, you will see the same things as Remedy, the minotaur riding atop a fleeing submarine and the bull-fighter rising for air.

[Drakeburn]

Tyler couldn't believe that the hairy minotaur is getting away in the water. And to think he just got out of there!

With a sigh, Tyler took a mighty leap back into the water and swam after the hairy-bull-guy. In the water, taking these guys down might become easier for him.

[RickAllison]

Tyler pursues the fleeing submarine and is rapidly gaining on it! Even better, being back in the water is helping him to get past his previous wound and his sight is fully restored.

Back land-side, Alloy and Spirit-Arm see the two other helicopters move to flank the pier area. They flip on floodlights focused on the two of you and are brandishing firearms, repeating their warning to surrender. They do not look particularly friendly.

[John Cribati]

Well, damn.

Alloy didn't exactly have the best track record with law enforcement- Not that she did anything overtly illegal (aside from the vigilantism), but she did have a habit of policing the police- but she never thought that they'd be shooting at her with fancy bullets!

She lands and puts her hands in the air anyway. She wants to yell up at them, but she'd probably be drowned out by the chopper blades.

Alright Arms, I say we go quietly and see what we can sort out.

[Halfelf ninja]

Spirit arm look at the helicopters, and then he wave his fingers, and a force field form around him he shout "get behined me! Run back to your place, hurry!" And stand between her and the helicopters, preaperd to fight. The momenet she get out of sight, he waves his hand again, and the hands fly toward the near building, and he swing away, still holding his force field around him as he jump toward the streets, and a single hand remain, wave goodbey to the helicopter and than disappere.

[John Cribati]

Alloy blinks. Looks at the force field. Then at the helicopters. And then Arm Dude. Considers her options.

... Or I can go quietly and you can... not.

She makes her escape to the sidewalk, where she has a seat against a building, doing her best to project an aura of "I am not associated with this person."

[Wabbajack]

Remedy swims to the surface while trying to keep track of her blade-wielding foe. As she breeches the surface with her camouflaged form she notices the helicopters. She turns towards the criminal she just fought: "Are those guys after you?"

[RickAllison]

Yo no les conozco. Perhaps they are SHIELD? Or Hydra? Or perhaps the police force does not exactly care for vigilantes. I know that el diablo de Nueva York and the man with unbreakable skin were not exactly welcomed by the police of that city either.

Round 3:

It is now Tyler's Turn

[Drakeburn]

Seeing the hairy minotaur on the submarine, Tyler swims to the front of it and presses his body against it, trying to put the submarine to a complete stop.

Move Action: Swim to the front of the submarine.

Standard Action: Stopping the submarine.

[RickAllison]

Despite Tyler's efforts to stop the submarine, it just continues on with a little extra weight.

Two of the helicopters chase after the fleeing Spirit-Arm, but seem to be rather less nimble than the many-armed vigilante. If he continues fleeing, they will lose him eventually.

The third gets close to the ground and six officers with tactical gear on exit, weapons trained on Alloy. Just come quietly, and no one has to get hurt. You have the right to...The lead officer begins the spiel, though he is audibly nervous. Without heavy analysis, it is evident that the stating of your rights is more for his sake of being something familiar than for your knowledge.

Round 3:

It is now Spirit-Arm's Turn

OOC: If Spirit-Arm wishes to continue fleeing, it will go back to Alloy.

[Halfelf ninja]

Spirit arm look at alloy and then he turn around, grab her and then srround both of them with the force field if he can. If he cant, he just use the field as a "wall" between her and the cops and shout "run! Just run!" And

[Drakeburn]

Wow, this thing is really heavy, Tyler thought as he stopped pushing. The submarine was too heavy, and there was no solid ground to plant his feet on. As Tyler thought about it, he suddenly started to wonder about the submarine. Where was it taking the hairy minotaur to?
Curious, slowly slides down to under the submarine and grabs on while swimming with his legs.
Wherever this sub is taking the minotaur, Tyler intends to find out.

[RickAllison]

Combat Over

Tyler notices that the submarine seems to head out to sea, but turns north after a short while. Will he continue to hold on and find the enemy's secret base

Will Alloy allow herself to be arrested? And what is the secret behind these mysterious bullets?

Will Spirit-Arm outrun the police?

Will Remedy capture the helpless Matador? Or befriend him?

Will we find out what happened to Caramel?

Find out this week on: Insert Appropriate Superhero Team Name!

[John Cribati]

Exercising her right to remain silent, Alloy lets herself be led into the vehicle. It would be better to explain at the precinct.

[RickAllison]

The officers handcuff Alloy without struggle and wait for a prisoner transport truck as the helicopter is not designed for secure handling. Meanwhile, other officers cordon off the area and search for the other superpowered individuals.

[John Cribati]

Uh, are you guys actually from around here or...

Kalia had figured "Alloy" had enough presence that the local police force knew better than to use metal cuffs to detain "him." Of course, this could just be an "on-principle" sort of thing in itself, in which case she couldn't really judge; she was allowing herself to be arrested, after all.

[RickAllison]

A different officer cuts off the arresting one. Honestly, I hope you break them. Aliens like you should just get a bullet in the head. Damn freaks, tearing this city apart...

[Drakeburn]

Tyler keeps holding on underneath the submarine while he swims with his legs.

He wonders how much further it is before the hairy minotaur and his ride arrive at their destination?

[John Cribati]

A different officer cuts off the arresting one. Honestly, I hope you break them. Aliens like you should just get a bullet in the head. Damn freaks, tearing this city apart...

See those cops there? she points her chin in the direction of the police van she'd fished out of the water. They probably woulda drowned by now if I didn't show up. And given how much more sturdy that building is than it was before, I'd say I did more to put this city together.

Kalia regrets her choice of mask- one that covers her entire face- as she realizes she can't achieve the proper facial expressions to go with her sass.

In any case, for bonus security, she turns key parts of his firearm's internal mechanisms into dust.

Metal Sculpt on this specific officer's weapon, to break it so it won't fire, but not in a way that is noticeable until he attempts to fire it.

[RickAllison]

When it was your cronies that put them in there and knocked the building over, I don't think you're in a position to talk. He turns to a crew of subordinates. Get the harbor patrol out and and trawling for the others. There's a bonus for anyone who captures these freaks!

[Wabbajack]

"Okay sword-guy, time for you to come with me and surrender to those guys. If it turns out they're bad guys just pretending to be good guys I'll free you again, promise. Which is weird but kinda what heroes do, right?"
Remedy tries to grab one of the Matador's arms and swim over to the shore.
"Hey! Over here, I've got one of the baddies!"

[RickAllison]

Get a patrol boat out there! Looks like we have another vigilante. Really. Used to be so simple. Criminals commit crimes, cops capture crooks. Easy-peasy. Now we've got Metal-Man and Color-Pants.

If nothing else interferes, Alloy is loaded onto a police transport with the Matador and Remedy, all in handcuffs. Unless Remedy or Alloy try to escape, which they are both likely capable of.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy let's herself be cuffed and lead into the transporter without resistance. Then she turns towards Alloy.
"Hi. Are you a villain or a hero? Also, are those guys good guys or bad guys?"

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal, Bound (But Not Really)- 1 HP

Kalia can't help but snort a little to herself. I knew you haven't been in the game long. I guess I'm what you'd call a hero. And these guys... I'm sticking with "@ss#0les" for now.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy tries to quietly slip out of her restrains. If that does not work she will just as quietly as possible pry them apart with brute force. Afterwards she absorbs the handcuffs into her belly - probably evoking either amazement or revulsion.
After this she goes even further and shapeshifts a fake pair of handcuffs around her wrists.
And all the while she quietly hums to herself.

Sleight of Hand to remove the handcuffs: [roll0]
If necessary Strength to pry them open: [roll1]
Then using Feature (Internal Compartment) to store the handcuffs.
Finally using Morph and the Clothing feature to make fake "handcuffs" (which will actually be attached to her body, being morphed bio-matter)
Deception (Disguise) roll to see how convincing they look: [roll2]

[RickAllison]

Remedy absorbs her handcuffs and appears to create new ones. ¿Qué diablo es esto? Simplemente quiero liberar mi pueblo y estoy en frente de un monstruo extraterrestre, the Spanish swordsman laments.

7 hours. 7 hours did this damned monstrosity weave through the ocean, making it difficult to track exactly where you are. You are certainly north, but how far? Oregon? Surely not far enough to get to Washington at this speed. Most likely you are still along California's coast, just very far from home. You feel the submarine start to descend, and a hatch opens along the sea floor right along the vessel's path.

Do you enter this mysterious gateway?

[Wabbajack]

"You know what, that's really rude. You spoke english a few minutes ago, so why switch back to italian or whatever that was? I mean, if you don't want us to understand just think it instead."
Remedy turns to Alloy.
"You agree that he's being rude, right metal-guy?"

[Drakeburn]

Tyler wondered why would anybody travel so far to do...... Whatever the matador and his bulls were doing in San Francisco.
Wouldn't be easier if they committed crimes not too far from their base?!

But they have finally reached their destination, and he didn't get this far just to turn back.

Tyler repositions himself to hide and hold onto the back of the submarine and follows it to wherever the hatch leads to.

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal, Bound (But Not Really)- 1 HP

Alloy just shrugs. He can speak whatever language he wants, though it would have been pretty rude to call us monsters before... she lowers her voice, whatever that was you just did.

[RickAllison]

From his perch hidden on the submarine, Tyler sees the vessel following a corridor inland, before coming to a wall with a logo that is both familiar and likely undesirable: A skull surrounded by tentacles, the emblem of HYDRA. The submarine begins to rise...

[Drakeburn]

Tyler's eyes widen with shock and fear at the symbol of HYDRA.
What had he gotten himself into?
This was way bigger than saving somebody from drowning, or stopping a purse snatcher.

When the submarine rises, Tyler goes back to hiding under the submarine. The last thing he wants is to get caught by HYDRA, and who knows what they'll do with him if they do.

[RickAllison]

Any luck with the raid? So much money. Matador captured, Red Bull missing. Did those Inhumans capture him, or-No. It was the police, and the Inhumans surrendered as well. This could be a great opportunity to rebuild our forces and dispose of that loose end. Do we still have those inside men? Yes, I'm sure we can reach out. If they won't join us, maybe we can find someone with Whitehall's old tricks.

Tyler recognizes the rough voice of the bull he had been chasing, but the other two were unknown. They seem to be decreasing in volume, like they are walking away.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy tries to keep her voice low enough as to not be able to be heard by the driver "Anyway, do you need any help to escape? I just want to make sure that this guy reaches whatever place they keep baddies at so afterwards I could assist you with that."

[Drakeburn]

Tyler decides to take a peek from his hiding spot and look around the area to make sure that the coast is clear, but does his best to be careful to stay hidden.

In response, Alloy casually widens the rings of her handcuffs and slips her hands out, then for added measure turns them into a sculpture of a rose and tosses it to the Matador but calls it back before it can touch him. As it lands in her palms, it morphs back into handcuffs. I'm pretty sure the only one who's really trapped is that guy.

[RickAllison]

Tyler

Tyler sees a rather ordinary mechanic who seems to have found him, but his superior doesn't seem to care. The superior has an English accent, with brown skin and scars across his face.

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/5/5d/Kebo-threatens-Carmine.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151009155407

He has more scars than in this picture, with some arcing across the skin. In a distinctive, but seemingly random, pattern.

RemeLoy

The Spaniard seems just as disdainful of Alloy's demonstration. Ay, you powered people think you are so fuerte, but it just covers up your lack of skill. Just like el Toro Rojo or Minotauro. La basura de Hydra is what you are. He spits on the floor between the two heroes and gives several swears.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy seems to be slightly annoyed by the matador "The nice thing about skill is that it can be learned. Powers, though, good luck getting those. And did you insult me or what was that last thing you said?"

[RickAllison]

I a-said you are the trash of those bastardos HYDRA. Their experiments were responsible for you. I don't know what your plan is, but I swear. I swear when my village is safe that I will tear your organization to the ground. Every scrap will be dismantled, and you and your makers will be upon my sword. I won't let your evil stain the world any longer!

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal, Bound (But Not Really)- 1 HP

Listen, amigo, I studied martial arts for most of my life. I only ate some bad fish a year af a half ago. I bet if I drop my armor and you drop your sword I could still take you on mano a mano any day of the week.

*she said this before Remedy said her bit*

[Wabbajack]

"You got your powers from fish? What do fish have to do with metal?"
Then as the Matador speaks an expression of surprise appears on Remedy's face, her white, weirdly expressive eye-spots growing in size "Wait, these HYDRA guys make people like me? Do you know where they are, how to find them?"

[RickAllison]

They have a base to the north, but I do not know exactly where. I boarded their submarine near Shelter Cove, but from there they seemed to travel north and east. But it can't have been east, it would have gone into land...

[Drakeburn]

Startled by being seen by the mechanic, Tyler decided to act quickly. He leapt from his hiding place and went for the superior. With the element of surprise, Tyler hoped that he can take the guy down with one swift punch before he can alert anybody else to Tyler's presence.

Move Action: Leaping from hiding spot to the mechanic's superior.

Standard Action: Attacking the superior.

Attack Roll: [roll0]

With a Damage DC of 27.

[RickAllison]

Big mistake, lad! Surrender now and I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement... Otherwise things could get unpleasant. The officer turns to you and begins shooting off sparks from his body while a small smile crosses his scars.

If you make any moves, they are now expecting it and it will go into initiative. The mechanic and several gunmen on a second level have weapons leveled at you, and you can see the Minotaur in the doorway along with a... disquietingly intense younger man.

[Drakeburn]

This is not good, Tyler thought to himself with eyes wide with fear.
He didn't see the gunmen, who are now aiming their weapons at him. The mechanic now has a weapon aimed at him as well, and the officer he tried to hit turned out to have powers as well. Powers that can actually really hurt him.

Suddenly Tyler made a leap for the water. It was the only thing that gave him an advantage over these goons.

Move Action #1: Use Leaping to get into the water

Move Action #2 (If Possible): Use swimming to go further down into the water.

Initiative Roll (if necessary): [roll0]

[RickAllison]

Tyler sees a hand plunge into the water and send a shock through a large volume of it. Fortunately, Tyler is far enough way for it not to be an issue, and no one seems to be following him in...

[Drakeburn]

Tyler lets out a sigh of relief before making his way down to the way he came through, keeping an eye out for anything, whether it would be traps, or other ways out. With HYDRA, there is no telling what they have in store.

Perception: [roll0]

[RickAllison]

With his low-light vision, Tyler has a clear idea of his surroundings, but the pickings are slim. The gate he entered through has shut, and the only other object of interest he has seen is a grate leaving the area, which while easy to break into for someone of his strength, looks too small for an ordinary person to fit through.

He has a clear advantage in the water of this base. The submarine is not nearly as maneuverable as he and his powers allow him to stay there. But his exits are blocked, with the only exit covered by powered people and HYDRA operatives. Tyler appears to be...

Trapped! (1 Hero Point awarded)

Alloy- Normal, Bound (But Not Really)- 1 HP

Wait, so you were escaping to HYDRA base, despite hating what they stand for?

[RickAllison]

If someone took everyone you love in the world and put a gun to their cabezas, what would you do? Mi hermana y mis sabrinos, Faiqua, Hernando, los Cacahuates, everyone. I fight for the bastardos until they are safe. Then I can take my revenge.

[Wabbajack]

"Ah, the reluctant villain. Too weak to fight or get help but strong enough to do evil. But good news, you have help now. Metalord, can you protect that guy and yourself from bullets?"

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal, Bound (But Not Really)- 1 HP

Bullets move pretty fast. I usually just break the guns before they have a chance to use them.

[Drakeburn]

This is not good at all. Tyler thought.
With the gate closed and HYDRA waiting for him at the other end, and a grate clearly too small for him to slip through, he didn't have many options to choose from.
Taking a deep breath underwater, Tyler tensed his muscles before giving the gate door a powerful punch. He'd rather try to break his way through the gate rather than let himself be taken in by HYDRA.

Standard Action: Attacking the gate door

Attack Roll: [roll0]

Damage - DC 27

[RickAllison]

Tyler feels the metal of the gate groan beneath his fist, and he can see distortions in the surface where he struck.

[Drakeburn]

Tyler can see that his punch did a little bit of damage, but not enough to break the door. Taking another deep breath, he threw another punch at the gate door, hitting it a bit harder than before.

Standard Action: Attacking the Door (Using Power Attack Advantage)

Attack Roll: [roll0]

Damage DC: 29

[RickAllison]

Again, the door creaks under him and looks deformed, but it is slow going. Tyler feels he can break out, but it may take a little while. Meanwhile, he can hear distant activity back on the docks, but no one has bothered entering the water yet.

[Wabbajack]

"Swordy, if you can help me find that HYDRA base I'll take you with me out of here. And you Tin-master, wanna help me hunt down some baddies?"

[RickAllison]

Bien. They are likely planning to have someone kill us at the station anyway. Too many loose ends have cost their organization dearly, from what I have heard.

[Drakeburn]

Who knows how long it'll be before HYDRA comes down here to get him. Tyler needs to find a way out, and fast.
With another deep breath, he throws down both of his fists at the gate door, really giving it the best he has to offer.

Standard Action: Attacking the gate door (with the All-Out Attack advantage)

Attack Roll: [roll0]

Damage DC: 32

I don't think it's wise to bust out now.
After we stop, they try to unload us, and we'll get the jump on 'em. See what information we can get out of them.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy invisibly rolls her eyes "Sure, let's wait with the escape until we're in the captor's base. But fine, let's do what the one with experience says. Just make sure our new ally doesn't get shot when we make our escape, I need him to find those HYDRA guys."

[RickAllison]

As if on cue, you feel the transport brake to a stop and vaguely hear the driver speaking with someone. A moment later, the van starts up again and you feel the vehicle descend slightly, like it is driving downhill, before it comes to a stop.

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal, Bound (But Not Really)- 1 HP

I've never been captured before. It's less experience and more "I have no idea where we are or what's around us and the last thing I need is to jump out of a van and get hit by a car."

[Wabbajack]

Remedy stands up, awaiting the doors of the transporter to open "Seems we're there. We'll escape when I give you a signal. Make sure that this guy gets out with us if I can't get him. If we get separated let's meet at the back of the fast-food restaurant closest to where we fought, okay?"

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal- 1 HP

Alloy sighs.

Okay, you get an A for effort, but you're pretty green, so let me explain something. I manipulate metal with my mind. We are in a metal cage that is about to be opened by people in metal suits and carrying metal guns. We have every advantage. There's no reason to have a straight-up fight, when we can just ambush them. So first...

She takes up a chunk of the metal bench and forms it into a pair of two-by-four- like bars, each slightly shorter than the width if the doors, and melds them to said doors to bar them.

That's phase one. Keeps one guy from opening the door, gets as many of them as possible trying to open it. Phase two largely depends on where our enemies are positioned. Which reminds me...

She closes her eyes and extends her senses.

Metal Detector Perception, looking for guns/weapons/armor:
[roll0]
Insight to estimate the number and position of enemies based on that:
[roll1]

[RickAllison]

From outside the truck, you hear the sound of the driver coming around to the back- and then a loud crash followed by the vehicle shaking a bit, and then a second crash coming from near the vehicle. You hear a sound like hoofs, clop, clop, clop, followed by a familiar voice: Manu, ¿estás seguro? Tenemos reunirse con el gerente o Faiqua sufriría. And the large red bull-man tears open the doors of the truck, eyes still partially blinded by his metal-morphed horns.

[Wabbajack]

Remedy stands up, her "handcuffs" vanishing and places her hands on her hips "Well, that makes things easier. Is he here to free you or to silence you?"

[RickAllison]

El Toro Rojo was from my village. He is a dear friend. We should probably go now, before the officers catch wind of our intentions.

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal- 1 HP

Well, damn. In for a penny, in for a pound, I guess.

We're really doing this, aren't we? Okay, listen. She claps her hands sharply. I don't care fit you two very much. You were wrecking my city, but I'm going to go ahead and believe your sob story because I'm apparently some kind of sap. I can fix the big guy's horns, and I can set you free and probably make you something resembling a sword. But you guys step out of line, I'm not holding back. Got it?

[RickAllison]

Simultaneously, you hear Bueno.

[Wabbajack]

"Neat, my first day as a hero and already I have my first team-up. And I have an idea that could maybe help secure out escape...and hopefully keep my reputation from being ruined because I work with villains..." Remedy's shape shifts, he skin flowing like molten wax for a short moment and just like that she is replaced by what appears to be a civilian girl - the same height as her, but tanned skin, a shoulder long, black bob-cut and wearing simple sneakers, black shorts and a Captain America t-shirt "Say hello to your new hostage. You can tell the police that you'll let me go once you reach safety. Which isn't even a lie." She turns towards the large 'minotaur' and raises her arms like a child that wants to be picked up "Carry me, big guy."

Deception: Disguise roll with Morph: [roll0]

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal- 1 HP

Good idea, kid! Just one tiny alteration, cuz I am not taking off my helmet. Shattering the matador's restraints, she pulls the metal together, along with her handcuffs, into the shape of a sword with half a blade and offers it to him. This guy here has got the hostage. The local superhero attempted to stop him, but the big guy got the drop on him, and he was forced into surrender when you threatened said hostage's life.

She reshapes the Red Bull's horns, then puts a few appropriately fist-sized dents into her armor, with a vaguely hoof-shaped one on her helmet for flavor.

[RickAllison]

Shall we go then? We may be able to evade the police if we act fast. If we were lucky, these two were supposed to kill us and didn't report us.

[Wabbajack]

"I'm ready. Just sling me over your shoulder and I'll play unconscious. I'll also keep an eye out for danger, like snipers or whatever they'd use in a situation like this."

[RickAllison]

Amateur. Sniper marksmen require significant time to take position for such shots, and are designed to fire on a predestined area. Unless they intended to shoot the prisoners, la policia wouldn't have had time. The danger we must worry about is from the ground and the helicopters. The speed of the vehicles allows them to corner us. What vigilante knows so little of police affairs?

He seems oddly knowledgeable about this subject.

If we are chased, we smash them.

[Wabbajack]

"Let's get on with it then. Ready, Metal-whatever?" Remedy goes limp on the Minotaur's shoulder "I'll play unconscious. I can see with my eyes closed, so don't be surprised if I comment on stuff."

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal- 1 HP

Alloy. But yeah, let's start moving.

[RickAllison]

There is a long, sloped drive leading out of the underground area you are in. As you head up the ramp, you can see a police vehicle driving past the entrance, and you can hear a dog barking. The compound doesn't appear to be terribly well-lit, but flashes of red and blue mark the path occasionally.

This entrance is ringed on three sides by a building five stories tall. The compound was designed to hold prostitutes and drunkards, not inhumans. There is a 300-foot run to the fence across and we may be able to exit there. If we fail, however, we will be pursued. We could also try stealing a vehicle, or circumventing the danger by crossing the building. Well, heroes? What do you do?

[Wabbajack]

"We're more agile without a vehicle. I vote we try the building."

[John Cribati]

Alloy- Normal- 1 HP

Works for me. Probably more metal to make use of, too.
