Marcus attacks C3 again.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Marcus notices the attack on Rosa and comes to her defense.

Attack on C1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

"None of that now!"

I will post in a couple hours. My new job keeps me busy. Lots of overtime this week. I will probably end up with at least 10 hours.

How about weaken? Would that work?

Does ability damage to 1 physical ability score, so that would be appropriate

I like it. Ability damage please!

How about weaken? Would that work?

I couldn't find the listing. Unless I suddenly became blind and all. What is available?

Marcus moves to attack C6.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Critical success! Alternate effect please.

Which enemy is closest to me?

"Oh no you don't!"

Marcus says as he charges C6 to attack him.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Marcus attacks C6 again.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

His next action will be to try and get C6 in a hold.

C6 will get a nice 'thud' as Marcus goes to knock him across the room.

Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Forgive me as I do not know the damage for unarmed.

"Try this on for size!"

Marcus shifts to metal form.

"So be it."

C4 gets a hefty swing from Marcus.

Unarmed attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Agreed.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Insight: 1d20 ⇒ 5

What else is around the room? Anything of significance or importance?

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Marcus chuckles as well as he shows his badge.

"Same team bro."

"That's possible. Still, be wary." he says as he continues to keep an eye out for any traps, cameras, and any other means of trapping or hindering the group.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"Great. All the radio chatter just went silent. They may know we are here."

Marcus follows and also is alert for anything out of the ordinary.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

"Stairs sounds good to me. Anyone else?"

"Not really. I can get us out as those walls won't hold me."

"I don't know how to bypass such a system. Anyone have skills in this area?"

Marcus is ready for the mission.

Sorry bout that. For some reason I did not even see your previous thing about passwords Kit.

"Sure. Let me take a look.

Investigation: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

"Does that cover everything? I want to take the hurt to them. The sooner we leave the better."

"Well, to start, I can shift into a durable metal form. As long as I remain in that I have enhanced strength, and am immune to just about all types of small caliber weapons. Larger I can deal with but they hurt. I don't tire or seem to need to breathe as well."

"I can also fly at incredible speeds. Like hypersonic speeds in excess of mach 5. I can pick up all sorts of radio waves including cell phones, radios and the like without the need for any equipment. I can communicate via the same."

"Kinda why I became a security guard. Very effective. Not to mention I had a high success rate in keeping places secure. That's why I ended up at the hospital. They gave me choice of any post I wanted."

Marcus sighs. "Good memories." he says.

"That cat is very addicting." he says as he reaches over and gives Kit a light scratch behind the ears.

"Communication devices aren't a bad ideas. It would be sad if we had to keep in touch by cell phone." Rosa chuckles at the thought.

"Kit has good questions. What are we carrying--and again, how are we getting there?"

"I don't know about any of you, but I can get us there pretty quick. If everyone gets in a car, I can pick it up and off we go." Marcus says with a chuckle.

"I can hear radio waves. You know, radios, cell phones, and such. Monitoring communications isn't an issue for me."

Not seeking and argument here Vamo, just saying I would feel better as a player if you got your PC to ask that question in game is all.

Regardless of what your intentions are you are definitely coming across as argumentative. What difference does it make if he asks in character or out?

None, to be honest. None at all. There is no legitimate reason to be upset. Please, just play and have fun.

Yeah, that's exactly what analytical does. Take it, it's sweet.

I suggest we go with a three pronged attack when retrieving the data. Marcus, Rosa and Siege Breaker all attack the front door as a distraction.

Marcus, you can monitor the guard's radios right?

That I can do. And yes, I can monitor the radios and other means of communication.

Just for reference, Marcus has the investigation skill. Feel free to make use of him.

As you all assemble into the war room, Jack himself walks in waving a CD around, ”Got it! On this CD are schematics for the building we will be infiltrating.. I know this is all short notice, but tonight is our only shot at getting the data from those servers. There will be less security and more importantly, no super powered goons working for my father. “

Jack enters the CD into the computer database, and information is uploaded to the computers at the war rooms table. It shows a detailed layout to which Jack begins pointing to while he speaks, ”Ok.. So 7 floors below the earth is the information we need. Getting down to the servers level is already a challenge, there are at least 6 security coded doors that lock out any that enter the password incorrectly, this of course during avoiding normal security patrol, as well as getting into the restricted stairwell in the first place. Beyond that is the floor security, which there is very little detail about. All I know is there is some sort of security force down there, but they don’t show up on any of the payrolls or staff list. Then of course you will have to download all the information from the server and get out without bringing down the wrath of my father on your heads. This is a in and out job. It may not feel like we are making a big impact on Tallow with this mission, but believe me, this is a critically important task to taking the beast down. So… questions? Ideas?”

"Why will no super powered people be there? What makes this place so unimportant that security is lax? Sounds to me like he wants someone to break in. I don't like that one bit."

After a hearty breakfast the next morning, at 7am Marcus will begin his research on what kinds of altered people work for Tallow Genetics. If Rosa is there he will work with her to get all the info he can.

If Rosa is there:

"Hey there. You mentioned last night that you might need some help in finding some info. I have some experience in this if you would like some assistance."

I will make a skill check as soon as I know if Rosa is going to aid me on my roll.

If Star Light is there he nods in acknowledgement.

Trup, just for reference, until I state otherwise Marcus always listens to the radio (including police bands) to keep informed of anything that is happening in the area.

"Rosa, I am interested in getting more info on Tallow. I want to know what kinds of altered people are working for them. If you are interested, I will be in the library tomorrow morning at 7am. I want to be fully rested before I go digging. Clear mind and all."

Marcus lovingly pets the cat.

Is Investigation used for research or is it crime scene/clue finding? I didn't train that skill either, but Rosa's willing to spend whatever time is needed pouring...

"Not even sure how many that are like us. Judging by that werewolf like thing that nearly took my head off earlier today it seems like there are more than we might think."

"I can see why. If I had that I probably would have really hurt someone by now. Being impervious to things is probably a good thing I suppose. Had someone use a shotgun on me once. The look on his face when the security guard he thought was hapless suddenly became metal."

He smiles at the memory.

"It is a relief."

Cocking his head at Rosa.

"Say, do you remember that punk with the orange mohawk? The one who kept showing up every night at the hospital? Felt like he was stalking you. I took him outside and into an alley and "showed him the city". If you ever wondered why he never came back that's the reason. The police never believed him when he said that I had metal powers and could fly."

He chuckles.

Marcus likes security work and wanting to explore he goes out to see what the complex has to offer.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

"Breaking I can do. Stealthy, not so much."

"So you have a plan. And that means you have something you want us to do. Get to the point."

Marcus just sits there and watches with an amused look on his face.

Marcus nods when Rosa looks his way.

I remember her. She was always a nice girl. Good at her job i'll admit.

"I'm Marcus." he says simply.

I am ready.

Marcus cautiously makes his way in and follows the escort. He reverts from metal form.

Marcus is dressed in a security guard uniform. He has a flashlight, radio, handcuffs, and other small items on a utility belt (he was working when he was attacked).

Marcus lands 75’ away from the man at the car. He just looks at him for a brief moment and then begins walking towards him slowly.

Marcus is still in metal form.

”Take me to the person who called me here. And no tricks or games.” he says bluntly.

They found you. You don’t know how they found you, or why they are still after you, but those questions are drowned out by the violence of their actions. They came wearing uniforms of the soldier mercenaries of Tallow Genetics, and they took your world apart.

I know you can hear me Marcus. I know you want vengeance for your sister. I know that you hate them as much as I do. Come, join me in my mansion and we will discuss how to deal with the problem of those that did this to you.”

Directions and the address of the mansion are being sent with the radio signal.

Marcus is flying at 20,000 feet. He was in Minneapolis, MN at the time of the ambush.

They all died. How did they live? Maybe that was just one of several facilities. It would make sense. So how did they find me? I keep pretty quiet. Nobody knows me here. Someone has a way to find me.

He clenched his jaw in anger.

"WHY?! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?! he yells to nobody in particular, as he is up where very few would be.

His thoughts returned to the signal.

Mansion huh? Hates them as much as me? We'll see about that. Those directions place it right about.....there!

In less than a minute Marcus arrived on the outskirts of Chicago.

Now for this mansion. Hope it isn’t hard to find.

They found you. You don’t know how they found you, or why they are still after you, but those questions are drowned out by the violence of their actions. They came wearing uniforms of the soldier mercenaries of Tallow Genetics, and they took your world apart.

I know you can hear me Marcus. I know you want vengeance for your sister. I know that you hate them as much as I do. Come, join me in my mansion and we will discuss how to deal with the problem of those that did this to you.”

Directions and the address of the mansion are being sent with the radio signal.

Where did the ambush take place and where is the mansion from here? My first post is ready to go. It does hinge on that info so when you get to it that would be awesome.
