This Authoritarian guy just looked like some kind of generic military dude, how was he able to shrug off an attack from her enhanced strength and speed?<em>"damn...I should have grabbed Quasar and tried out the Fastball Special"</em>she thought to herself, suddenly regretting jumping in impatiently.<br/><br/>Things escalated rather quickly, as suddenly the Authoritarian called for his goons to grab a pair of hostages, as well as training guns on Superbus herself, "whoa whoa whoa not so hasty!" Superbus exclaimed, putting up her hands passively, freezing in place so as not to provoke him to kill the hostages, "Look, I'll be honest with you sir, I was really banking on that attack knocking you out and finishing this up right away, so I haven't exactly planned this far ahead, and you've got me in a bit of a spot. Basically what I'm saying is you've got the advantage here anyways what with your goons, and your guns, and your...being impervious to kicking...so honestly you don't even really<em>need</em>hostages at this point, when you really think about it..." she explained with an awkward chuckle.<br/><br/>However as she was talking, purposefully buying herself time, Superbuses long, whip-like tail stealthily snaked its way underneath one of the nearby desks. Using her shifting ability she continued to extend the length of her tail longer and longer, hoping to use her constant talking to hold everyone's attention while her tail snaked over by the four goons, both the ones training guns on the hostages and her, "Look, I'm not sure what you want from a newspaper company, but I doubt whatever it is is worth killing someone over. I mean I know the cost of papers is getting crazy, 75 whole cents now, and all those ads they put on their website? brutal, but we can still work this out peacefully..." she continued to prattle on, biting her lip in intense focus as she would then attempt to wrap her tail around all four men at once and drain them of their vitality before they could react.<br/><br/><br/><em>Roll: Unleash your powers- using her shape shifting and vitality drain to sneakily ensnare the 4 goons and drain their vitality before they can pull the triggers. <br/><br/>At 2017-09-01 11:51:21, pdragon (uid: 57462) rolls: 2d6a1 Result: 9 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=106735)<br/><br/>Success, must mark a condition: Guilty (-2 to provoke someone or assess the situation) - guilt over failing to stop the Authoritarian right away and allowing him to threaten the hostages in the first place</em>
