"Hey you, stop!"

Just as Parker was about to answer Catrina's question, Parker turns his head in the direction the shout came from.

Was the shout in English?

Jessie tenses up, fighting the need to Armor up. She did not expect to be so skittish. She was usually much more carefree and nonchalant. Instinctively grabbing Uthor's hand

Uthor takes Jessie's hand in stride and steps between her and the threat.

Just as Parker was about to answer Catrina's question, Parker turns his head in the direction the shout came from.

Was the shout in English?

Yes it was.

Who is the speaker? One of the military? One of the building staff personnel? Someone else?

One of the Military.

"We need to knock him out before he alerts the others." Parker whispers to his team.

reminder: The only part of Parker's face that can be seen currently are his eyes do to the reverse hoodie he is wearing with holes cut into the back of the hood so he can see.

"Sir. Which exits of the building should we guard?"

Deception to act like the teenaged heroes are special reinforcements to counter any supers sent to disrupt the terrorists plans: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

On Parker's whisper, Catrina turns to the guard. "You heard him. Stop."

Speaks With The Bones: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The soldier looks bewildered to you.

On Parker's whisper, Catrina turns to the guard. "You heard him. Stop."

Speaks With The Bones: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

That didn't work.

"No changes to our standing orders? Then we should get to where the boss told us to go. Are there any updates on the situation you can tell us about?"

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"We'd like you to go to the kitchen."

"Understood." Parker replies before resuming walking past.

Making sure there are bodies between her and the guard she lets out a quiet sigh of relief

Catrina casts a sidelong glance to nothing in particular, before joining the team to the kitchen.

The kitchen has a change. You see men who are working on the food for the prisoners and the military that holds this embassy. They are wearing white and have caps on their heads.

"Where's the food for the prisoners? We will take it to them."

"Right here," the chef said as he points to a tray.

Please clarify

men who are working on the food for (the prisoners and the military that holds this embassy); (there are no military in the kitchen)

or

(men who are working on the food for the prisoners) and (the military that holds this embassy); (there are military in the kitchen)

or

(men who are working on the food for the prisoners) [b]and (the military that holds this embassy); (there are military in the kitchen)[/b]

Parts of both scenarios are true. The people working in the kitchen are military. They are working on both prisoner food and military food. However, this is your chance to overpower the cooks somehow and change the food. Except for the prisoner food.

Thanks for the clarification.

Parker uses a free action to change his Favored of the Fire Gods dynamic power array so only Greekfire is active

Parker picks up the indicated tray containing the prisoners' food, and asks the one who pointed it out, "Should I warm up their food first?" just before he envelops the air within 15 feet of him to fill with a 30-foot diameter hemisphere, so it does not touch any of the surfaces of the kitchen nor his teammates, then quickly moves (he was and still is fully incorporeal) to fill the entire kitchen if needed with additional green flames (with 2 ranks of extended duration, that makes it a minimum of 3 combat rounds of all the members of our team being hidden to the military and each of the miltary personnel in the kitchen getting burned by the flames if they move even an inch.) The military personnel are each completely surrounded by the flames, aside for their torsos, which allows Parker and ther rest of the heroes to clearly see the locations of friend and foe within the kitchen.

"Take them out quickly, team."

The members of our team know that Parker's flames will move out of the way for them, like they did in Gotham City.

Right. Looks like you're going the blunderbuss route.

seems so

With the sudden display, she no longer resists the urges as she let the Armor envelop her, ready to take on the soldiers and what ever else may now be instore for them

Right. Looks like you're going the blunderbuss route.

Depends on how quickly and quietly we take out the military personnel in the kitchen. So far unless someone else comes near the kitchen they will not know there is green fire there, as the flames do not make any significant noise themselves, so 'blunderbuss' noise has not occurred....yet.

if we are going to combat, can we get a description of the room, of the NPCs, and how the military are armed. Are we rolling initiatives?

The kitchen looks like this.

There are nine cooks in the room. All of them male, and in white uniforms. Roll for initiative.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Hope this works

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

that's the most 20s in a short amount of posts I've ever seen. I had to double check the rolls!

Okay, Uthor, you're the only one that didn't roll initiative.

it ate my post. Rolled earlier today

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Okay . . .

We are using fluid initiative. So far you may all post your actions. I will resolve the military's action after you all post. This is faster than waiting one one person to post because he has a higher initiative. However, we are going to use the initiative results.

You may divide your result by 5, and add the result to an action: including an attack action.

Uthor quickly moves to one of the men on the outside of the group, in case the others have an area of effect ability. He tries to render the man unconscious, but humans can be fragile.
Unarmed, Toughness DC 25: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Then, he returns to the side of Jessie.
Move-by Attack

reminder: Only Parker's eyes could be seen before the flames appeared (due to the hood of his hoodie he is wearing backwards covering his face, with eyeholes cut into the back of the hood to allow him to see, so military personnel might not know precisely who said, "Take them out quickly, team."

Standard Acton: Bluff to make the military personnel in the kitchen believe that we are on their side and do not know who is causing the fire.

Deception (bluff) (deception modifiers on page 118): 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 5 = 23

"We're under attack. Activate your fire proction protocols, team. Beta and Gamma stay in the kitchen with me to protect our non-powered comrades here. The rest of the team go out and take out whoever is responsible for this fire. Non-supes stay still so you do not get burned to death."

Move Action: Deception (Innuendo) so rest of team picks up to talk like they are are on the side of the military personnel to make the military personnel think we are trying to protect them from foes they cannot see. A minus 5 to Parker's Deception roll for the Innuendo check for taking it as a move action instead of a standard action.

DC 10 (basic message) Deception (Innuendo): 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 5 = 4

@GM: As the military personnel in the kitchen cannot see any of us (nor each other) through the flames, possible a circumstance bonus to Parker's rolls above?

reminder to fellow players: Take advantage of the precise insubstantial state your characters are in. Make whichever parts of their bodies substantial for their attacks as needed while keeping the rest of their bodies incorporeal.

Yes, a plus two (+2) circumstance bonus.

Reaction: Use Luck Control on Greekfyre's innuendo roll.

Greekfyre, you have a momentary glimpse of what might happen if your companions don't understand your message and it's a disaster. The vision passes and for the briefest of moments, you see Chance's unfailing grin for whatever reason.

Innuendo Reroll: 1d20 + 7 - 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 5 + 2 = 24

Chance stays still to see how the staff reacts but fires off a card into the metal grating above the stoves to sound like bullet ricochets to add to the chaos.

Standard: Lucky Shot: You can pull off an otherwise “impossible” shot.

Jessie moves in to attack the closest military personnel, non civilian, her light blades slashes at him, but she misses completely, half due to smoke, half to her hesitating

Slash: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Heh, my main attack is by speech and doesn't require physicality.

From the cover the Greekfyre's smoke, Catrina reminds one of the soldiers' bones that it's all right to rest when they need it.

Speak with the Bones: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Military chef saving throw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

One of the cooks drops, taking a rest.

Okay, here we go.

One of the cooks try to reach the fire alarm. "Help, fire!" one of them yells.

Did Uthor's attack affect the one he attacked?

Did Uthor's attack affect the one he attacked?

This one?

Yes it did, sorry for not mentioning it, but you gave one of the cooks a bad black eye.
