<strong>Hero Points:</strong>0 (Lionheart), 1 (Scarab)<br/><br/>Scene Music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1w0U_GUZ28)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">She blinked, realizing she was seeing double. "Rita?" She groggily got to her feet. "Something on my head?" She felt the top of her head, and touched something fluffy on top of her hair that wasn't there before. "What the f-" out came the phone, still functioning despite a cracked screen, to make use of the front facing camera. She herself looked as disheveled as Amrita, with dirt and cuts on her face, but unmistakably on top of her head were a pair of- "Oh my god what are those-"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>“I don’t know, but-” Amrita stammered. “All I know is that we must act now! Keep calm, seek cover under something!”<br/><br/>Albeit inexperienced, the need to survive for themselves and others quickly won out, as Lyn and Amrita did what came naturally and summoned the new powers within themselves!<br/><br/>As soon as Lyn spoke, her loud and commanding tone stopped the panicking crowds in their tracks. The fear and uncertainty that reigned seconds before was gone, and somehow they all knew to trust and follow this animal-eared woman...<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Cue Comic Book Narration Box Explanation!</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Imbued with the regalness of the noble lion, Lyn’s passionate shout can bolster or break the will of all but the most resilient minds!</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>More silver bolts shot down, not melting their targets so much as melting, freezing, disintegrating, enlarging, and all manner of scientifically-improbable transformations. But the latest marvel did not come from the unnatural weather.<br/><br/>Amrita took a deep breath as she focused, extending an outstretched arm in the direction of the school bus. For a few seconds it seemed that the rumbling was an earthquake, but slowly it was pushed off to the side with no observable force.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Cue Comic Book Narration Box Explanation!</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>The latest in a long line of reincarnated psychic superheroes, Amrita’s blessed with the power of telekinesis! She can effortlessly move up to 25 tons of matter without effort, and quadruple that at her upper limit!</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Amrita allowed herself a silent cheer. “Wow, is it really-I just did that…! Lyn, you all right? Lyn?!”<br/><br/>While Lyn was busy rescuing the straggler child, other forces were at work! The crowd managed to flee the zoo, huddling under an open-air building as shelter from the storm. Ms. Hallowbrooks, Lyn’s home room teacher, rapidly darted back and forth in search of missing students.<br/><br/>“Amrita, did you see Lyn?”<br/><br/>“Errr yeah, she was with-oh crap, where is she?” Closing her eyes, she tried her hardest to think.<br/><br/><em>Lyn, where are you? Are you alright?</em><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Cue Comic Book Narration Box Explanation!</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Utilizing the power of the mind, Amrita reaches out from the confines of her body and forges a mindlink with Evelyn, allowing for silent two-way communication!</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><em>Lyn, this is gonna sound crazy, but can you hear me? Okay good, I think I know where Kate and Lez are! They’re-</em><br/><br/>The answer came before she could finish her conversation. A row of cars by the zoo’s entrance suddenly pulled together  into a tight metal orb by an unseen force! Then without warning, it rolled across the ground with great force, smashing apart a nearby (now-abandoned) popsicle stand! A red gleam of pigtailed hair mixed with green danced across Lyn’s vision.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/WqqH31t.png?1)</div><br/>A blonde woman with chains wrapped around her torso did not fly so much as fling through the air before landing harmlessly on the pavement.<br/><br/>“WHERE ARE YOU, YOU LITTLE PARASITE?” she screamed. “YOUR STENCH OFFENDS ME!”<br/><br/>The elementary school boy clung tightly to Lyn, although his attention was drawn not to the mysterious woman but the nearby marine tank. “H-h-hey, is that...an octopus man?!”<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/kGa7Vmt.jpg?1)</div><br/>Indeed it was. An otherwise normal human being in a now-ruined wet tuxedo swimming in the aquarium, but with eight octopus-like tentacles growing out of his back. He and the retreating penguins were not alone, for Kaitlin was swimming away from him as he gave pursuit!<br/><br/>“Don’t worry Kate, I gotcha!”<br/><br/>It was not a voice Lyn immediately recognized, although she quickly discerned it to be that of her classmate Amy Roger’s. That iconic grey beanie could be recognized anywhere. The buzzing insect wings growing out of her back, not so much. The now-metahuman high school student flew over the aquarium, reaching out a hand to grab her friend, only for a quick blur to leap from the bushes and knock her out of the air!<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/o33BIhD.jpg)</div><br/>“Mwahaha, two against one? Sounds like unfair odds!”<br/><br/>A woman with mouse-like ears, a long tail, and clothes that left little to the imagination gracefully flipped down to land on her feet as Amy collided with the ground in an audible<em>thud.</em><br/><br/>“Aw c-c-crap,” Amy coughed. “Don’t tell me you guys are supervillains!”<br/><br/>The elementary schooler clinging to Lyn flew away unexpectedly over the intact portion of zoo wall, his descent slowing to a safe pace as an airborne Amrita passed him in the opposite direction.<br/><br/>"I don't care who they are!" Amrita exclaimed. "You're all gonna cut it out right now!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception DC 15</div><div class="spoiler_body">Amrita's face is concealed under a black bandanna. It's not the best means of disguise, but to one unfamiliar with her it's better than nothing.</div></div><br/><em>This post is getting a bit lengthy, so the actual combat stuff will be dealt with in the proceeding one. For ease of GM-friendliness, pick one DMPC ally besides Amrita/Scarab to come to the aid of first. You and her will square off against said supervillain while Amrita handles another. This will leave the third girl to hold her own for a bit, but such are the choices one must make in a crisis!</em><br/><br/>Lionheart 27 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=146357)<br/>Stormer Villain 2: Mongoose 26 (18 + Initiative Modifier 8) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=146352)<br/>Hornet 17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=146389)<br/>Scarab 17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=146349)<br/>Stormer Villain 1: Octaman 14 (13 + Initiative Modifier 1) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=146351)<br/>DMPC Ally: H2GO! 11 (7 + her Initiative Modifier 4) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=146350)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Villain Defenses</div><div class="spoiler_body">Octaman: Dodge 9, Parry 9, Fortitude 10, Toughness 7, Will 6<br/>Mongoose: Dodge 11, Parry 11, Fortitude 10, Toughness 7/4 (without Defensive Roll), Will 8</div></div>
