Double post!

DC 18 Fortitude vs. the other thing but for real this time: (1d20+8)[12]

Edit: Expending a Hero Point for that auto-success.

[Dodgeson]

Alex Toughness vs DC23 (1d20+8)[23] Resist
Alex Fortitude vs Hindered & Vulnerable/Disabled & Stunned/Incapacitated & Paralyzed (DC18) (1d20+8)[19] Resist

[OutOfThyme]

Defense: (1d20+8)[25]
Toughness: (1d20+8)[24]

Edit: -1 to the Toughness roll, since Colin's bruised, but that doesn't make a difference.

[Dodgeson]

Okay, may as well start with this, those guards cannot beat Kelly's fascinate

Spoiler: Dorni

So first things first, this is definitely not a natural phenomenon, whilst portals to other realms can occasionally open on their own, it's very unlikely to happen around here what with Avalon hogging the local leylines. So that only leaves active and possibly malicious intent, the number of people who could pull this off on a whim is fairly slim, being limited to mages of Merlin's calibre like the Archmage or Black Erzebet or truly powerful reality benders, those sorts of people definitely wouldn't be put off patrols of trainee heroes.

On the off-chance that the Queen is a known villain/superhuman/whatever, Expertise (whatever might be relevant) at +5 for Eidetic Memory to remember stuff: (1d20+5)[12]

[Dodgeson]

Queen Insight vs DC12 (1d20+10)[30] She's got Colin's number

[Quellian-dyrae]

Posting this here since Discord is acting up and ate it when I tried to post there. I find it mildly amusing that I feel the need to explain myself for posting actual OOC discussion to the OOC thread.

I'm good with doing the performance (Kelly's no Adrien Zhay but Music is on her Expertise list). I was...kinda thinking we might do something during the performance though. Maybe pull a Fascinate-into-initiative move or some such.

My current first instinct is to try the ol' "lol Rainbow Road" move and if that works roll initiative, but I dunno. Hero Points are very shiny, so it might be preferable go with the flow. Thoughts? I'll admit I am having a bit of difficulty coming up with a reasonable justification for why Kelly wouldn't do that though, since A) letting a crazy reality warper dump you into a pit when you have a very high-probability means of avoiding it is generally a Bad Idea and B) that would mean leaving Adrien alone with the aforementioned crazy reality warper.

[Llyarden]

I mean yeah my first goal was to try to convince The Queen to let her assorted hostages go just so that, like, we don't have to spend forever interposing against them Finishing Attacking each other or something wonky, and then failing that keep her distracted to give Kelly (well, and the others, but mostly Kelly because speedster) a chance to do something to get them away. But I wasn't quite sure if that was an option given the cut-scene-y nature of what's going on.

(Also, amusingly, Kelly is technically better at music than Adrien. He just has the knack of kinda appealing to his target audience to make up for it.)

[OutOfThyme]

It's check time!

Expertise Music, for Colin's performance: (1d20+12)[26]
Expertise Magic, because Colin's a nerd: (1d20+12)[29]

[Quellian-dyrae]

Luck Reroll on that Fascinate check, kinda important here: (1d20+16)[20]. Becomes 30

[Dodgeson]

Queen Will vs Fascinate (DC30) (1d20+10)[15] So very fascinated

[Dodgeson]

Queen Toughness vs DC35 (1d20+10)[22] Staggered & Bruised
Queen Athletics/Acrobatics vs Trip (DC29) (1d20+10)[25] Tripped

Queen Toughness vs DC30 (1d20+10)[24] 23 Dazed & Bruised
Queen Defence vs DC25 (1d20+5)[19] Bound

[Llyarden]

Just for the sake of seeing how well Adrien actually did since I never actually rolled for it, Expertise (Music) (+5 for Performer, +5 for Cool): (1d20+18)[20] ...yeah, he obviously wasn't that enthused.

[Llyarden]

Picking up the second rank of Improved Team Attack for my PP (and actually remembering to add it to my character sheet...)

And then downtime-wise I'm thinking more Pop Idol, since I just spent most of my successes (DC15, +5 for Performer, +5 for Cool): (1d20+18)[29] 3 successes.

[Quellian-dyrae]

Alright dropping AWE to -2, buying back the Will loss, and picking up +4 Investigation (just because) and Well Informed (to represent the fact that by this point Kelly probably knows, like, everybody in school and has caught up on the entire backlog of British superhero news and such (speedsters are hilarious)). Gonna also add a new Complication to further reinforce her total ADHD. Also Dodge do keep in mind that this means Kelly cannot Routine DC 10 Insight or Perception checks any more.

For Downtime given the above obviously Rumour Mill. I've got an HP left so I'll burn that on a second one, and two Lucks left so I'll Improve Roll both:
(1d20+16)[20] or (1d10+26)[36]. 5 Successes
(1d20+16)[23] or (1d10+26)[30]. 4 Successes

[Quellian-dyrae]

Is that first one a crit? (1d2)[1]. It is not

[Llyarden]

And exchanging my one remaining HP for a second downtime action and seeing if Adrien's gotten any better at talking to people with Everybody's Friend (DC20): (1d20+8)[19] So close!

Welcome to the team!

[OutOfThyme]

Here's what Colin's getting for his 1PP:

Quicksilver Mantle: Speed 7, Immunity 2 (Critical Hits)

as an alternate effect under his Airgetlam array.

And I'll also roll under the Rumor Mill for his downtime:

(1d20+10)[14]

[Dorni]

Alright, updating Anthony. I'm using the pp to put 2 ranks into Persuasion.

Spending the downtime to keep working on his relationship with the Worthies. (1d20+2)[7] Nope!

[OutOfThyme]

Colin uses Expertise: History!

(1d20+12)[18]

Edit: It's mildly effective!

Now that the roll actually went through, Colin's specifically trying to recall tactical information about the Battle of London (ie, numbers, famous skirmishes, etc.)
