For I am Tempus, Master of time!”<br/><br/>The giant corralled the panicked crowd still remaining between his huge arms, and the blonde man with the bulls-eye shirt hopped onto his left hand.<br/><br/>“Alright, all you fancypants fools!” he called out. “ Do as I say and Gargantua won’t smash ya! Jewelry, cash, keys, but no credit cards. I know your companies will just freeze the accounts.”<br/><br/>“Cannon, we’re here for Jonathan Grant!” the woman called out as she aimed her lance at the oddly-calm CEO.<br/><br/>“Pfff, you look like you got him under control sweetheart!” he called back. “Now then-”<br/><br/>Kaitlyn dropped a small pellet onto the ground while they were distracted, causing a large cloud of black smoke to rapidly expand. The giant man reflexively pulled his hands back.<br/><br/>“What the hell?!”<br/><br/>Kaitlin and the corralled crowd then bolted for it, although as Lyn and Leslie escaped early she could not easily follow them.<br/><br/><em>A straight-on 5 vs 4 battle with no minions may be a tad much for our second fight, so this combat is going to be streamlined a bit. “Rounds” will involve obstacles or challenges against one or more supervillains</em><br/><br/>Tempus, Master of Time 31 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147898)<br/>Cannon 20 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147895)<br/>Gargantua 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147896)<br/>Hornet 15 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147893)<br/>Chlorophyll 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147892)<br/>Lionheart 10 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147890)<br/>Cyberknight 9 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147897)<br/>H2GO! 9 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147891)<br/>Scarab 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147894)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Villain Vital Statistics and Roll-Off</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cannon has 8 Dodge and 8 Parry; Gargantua has 4 Dodge and 5 Parry; Cyberknight has 12 Dodge and 12 Parry; Tempus, the Master of Time has 15 Dodge and 15 Parry.<br/><br/>Cyberknight goes first due to a roll-off (17 vs 13):<br/>https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147899<br/>https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147900</div></div><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><strong>Obstacle One</strong></span></span></div><br/>Lyn and Leslie ran past more than a few bewildered people before ducking into the women’s washroom, which thankfully was vacant and gave them enough time to change into proper uniforms.<br/><br/>“Okay, who do we call first?!” Leslie exclaimed. “911, Amri-I mean Scarab and Watergirl?! Damn, I hope they’re okay…”<br/><br/>The pair exited the washroom soon as they could, although it didn’t take them long to run into trouble: a visible wave of destructive force headed their way in the form of rapidly cracking walls and floor tiles, followed by an accompanying screech as the affected area exploded in splinters and debris!<br/><br/>“Helloooooo ladies!” Cannon called out from one end of the hallway. “Didn’t expect to see superheroes in these parts!”<br/><br/>Chlorophyll quickly leaped to the ceiling with the aid of her plant tendrils. “And...goodbye pig!” she exclaimed as she retaliated with a volley of needles. Most of them made their mark, cutting up his tank top and turning the supervillain into a bloody (yet still standing) pincushion.<br/><br/>“Gah! You...you just caught me off guard, that’s all!”<br/><br/><em>Give me a DC 18 Dodge roll in order to avoid the concussive explosion. If you fail, you suffer 2 injuries (-2 to future Toughness saves) and are dazed until the end of your next turn. He’s also within range of a melee attack thanks to your Leaping power!<br/><br/>You can resolve this obstacle in a number of ways: the most straightforward is knocking out Cannon, but alternatives may be to outmaneuver or otherwise shake him off your tail (an opposed Speed-based roll-off, Stealth vs Perception, etc). As Chlorophyll already staggered him, a good solid blow and a low Toughness roll may KO him. With a powerful Roar you may cause him to flee in fear if he gets a low enough result. If you dodge his attack but fail to harm him, you’ll be at a ‘stalemate’ and he’ll retreat. The immediate danger’s averted, but the supervillain’s still alert and on the loose!</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Chlorophyll Dodge 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147902)<br/>Lionheart Toughness 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147903)<br/>Chlorophyll Throwing Thorns 24 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147904)<br/>Cannon Toughness 16, failure by 3 degrees (-3 Toughness, dazed, staggered) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=147905)</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Environment Ideas</div><div class="spoiler_body">Being in a multi-story building, a Fissure attack can cause him to fall to a lower level. You can also try ducking into nearby rooms for cover (total cover, -5 on his attacks/+5 on Defense rolls, cannot do this and attack if you’re Dazed). Hitting a chandelier in the air to fall on him may be a good means of slowing him down (he resists with Dodge, Damage 8 plus an applicable immovable-based condition based on degree of failure). If you have any other ideas, narrate them out, make an appropriate roll, and I’ll give you the result!</div></div>
