Seeing that Goldrush is busy dealing with Weather Witch. Tom abandons his attack on her (especially since he doesn't like hitting woman. He instead flies up beside the fellow that tried to frost Goldrush to the floor, and he takes a big swing at him. He hovers in the air, so he doesn't have to worry about the slippery floor.

"You're the one that is going to be out cold villain," he says in a cheesy super hero voice.

His cell phone starts to ring. He wants to see who's calling, but resists for the moment.

Captain Invincible flies off after Weather Witch. When he reaches her he takes a swing at her.

"Hey Lady, I realize I'm dressed in my sweats right now, but you didn't have to run off like that. We were just getting to know eachother. Now I'm afraid I'm going to have to get a little rough with you. I don't like hitting ladies, but I'll make an exception for you."

Since I'm last I'll hold my post until others have gone. However, I'm not entirely clear if I'm free to act or dazed because of the thunder.

Fort save 1d20+12=29

Captain Invincible howls as he's zapped by lightning, while grappling with weather witch.

It sounds like the others were essentially forced to delay their actions until Tom took the lead and went through the doors. Since that is the case, I'm thinking that he should be at the top of round 2.

Having battered through the ice wall, he flies into the Casino and carries on with his original plan. However, Tom doesn't like to punch women (generally), so he tries to tackle/grapple her. His goal is to pin her and then fly her out of the casino to hand her over to the police.

Attack: 1d20+8=28

Grapple Check: 1d20+26=31

Okay, my first roll with this character was a natural 20! (but the second was a 5)

I assume that wasn't directed at Tom since he totally forgot/didn't bother to put on any kind of intercomm. Though his cell is always handy, and he's a really fast text messager.

"Intercoms," Trailblazer mutters. "At least the bad guys coordinate."

"She's calling reinforcements from down below," he calls out.

Trailblazer starts scanning for the other five villains, particularly in stairways.

"Captain, do we have a patch on the casino's security cameras?"

"I'd prefer to go through the wall, but I suppose I should keep collateral damage to a minimum."

On his turn, Tom Opts to fly straight through the front doors, and veer a hard right towards the offices, hoping to tackle the Weather Witch.

Where abouts is weather woman?

If you show me where she is in the building, I could go straight through the wall and hit her hard- maybe even fly her out of the building.

"What's the plan team? This is gonna be tricky, we need to make sure the civilians don't get hurt.

It's a little chilly out here today."

<waves at cameras with frosty breath>

Tom does a flyby over the Casino and sets down near the Captain to await the arrival of his team mates. As he looks out at the situation, he starts to regret not putting his costume on. When he sees the captain he says, "Hey Big Chief, how can we help?"

Despite it not being the brightest idea, Tom flies off in his sweats and meets up with the team at the casino. His costume is in the plane if he really needs it later.

Well he's not the wisest. This could just be another one of the many reasons why he often ends up humiliated in the tabloids.

I'm just gonna fly there in my sweats

I'm sure your publicist would be against that, also, your "sweats" are gonna be easily damaged, as they arent made out of "unstable molecules" like your costume(old comic book super science write off =])

If it's just get around the city all we need is some kind of long bar with a multi person harness hanging from it. Then I could just fly all the ground bound characters there. Our carbon foot print would be vastly reduced. Not that Tom gives a s!$~ about carbon footprint.

When pit arrives at the Com room and hears the details, he cringes.

"Damn it! I have an appointment with my nutritionist in an hour. And I need my costume for a photo shoot tonight. F&$% it. I'm just gonna fly there in my sweats, I don't want to risk getting my costume dirty because the other one is still at the dry cleaners; it got all dirty when I was moving that transport truck the other day.

Did he say super humans? Why couldn't it just be guys with guns..."

"Hey, I do have a penthouse suite, and I do use it plenty. However, this girl barfed in my hot tub the other night, and it's still being cleaned. I didn't realize you'd all be hanging out here today."

After a few bit longer in the hot tub with the ladies, they get dressed, he grabs a girl under each arm, steps out onto the balcony and then flies them to the nearest busy street where they can easily get cabs. He then gives each of them cab fair and flies back to HQ. He searches out the rest of the guys, and casually wanders into the lab.

"Hey gents, what's up?"

His phone rings

"Oh wait sorry guys, just a minute.

Hey Marv. What? The Tonight Show!? You think you can get me on? Of course. Go for it! Yeah, cool. See you later."

What's the deal with Etrigan? Is he really a demon?

Tom is lounging in the hot tub, after a quick workout. A couple of bimbos are hanging out with him (the girls are fluzzies he met at a club earlier in the week and he invited over for some hut tubbing). While they hang off him, he examines a new action figure made in his image and talks on his cell phone

"Yeah the action figure looks decent. I just want to know why the Captain Invincible figure is lowest celling one out of the team?

Well, of course the kids love the Pulse Battle Suite/mesh outfit. He's the closest thing we have to a transformer on the team.

And Goldrush is an android.

I know, androids are cool.

Yes, you're right. Of course kids like the samurai's dark image and the sword.

No. I'm not going to start using a sword.

So, what are you saying? I'm boring. The kids don't like me because I don't have a cool gimick.

Isn't being invincible a gimick? I mean that has to count for something.

Listen I got to go Marv."

Vanguards of Liberty sounds pretty cool to me, almost as good as Captain Invincible and his Amazing Friends. I'm not so big on calling our HQ the Watchtower, unless we are Jehovah's Witness superheroes, which I'm not. Vanguard Hall sounds pretty good. "Hey Ladies would you like to come back to Vanguard Hall?". Yep, that rolls off the tongue just fine.

I'm getting bored of talking about it. I'm out of the discussion now. You guys pick what you want, and I'll be fine with it. Later I'll have some of my PR people form some focus groups and conduct some public opinion poles and we can see how the public has been responding to our name selection. Then we can either leave or change it, and we can get to work on our merchandising.

I'd like to see this discussion come to a resolution, but I do agree that I prefer Liberty Brigade or Squad to Liberty Council. Councilors sit and talk, brigades and squads are out in the field kicking ass.

Liberty Council is fine with me.

Captain Invincible would much rather belong to the Freedom Brigade than the Shadow Council, and since I kick in money for our marketing... I mean if I had it my way we would be Team Invincible or the Invincibles or Captain Invincible and his Amazing Friends!

Another conversation between Tom and Marv (Tom's side only)

Hey Marv. What's up?

No, I haven't been out patrolling this week.

What's the big deal. I had things to do. What, is there some kind of quota I'm required to fill or something? I mean it's not like I actually get money for being a superhero. Well, at least none other than the royalties and endorsement cheques I get.

Let's see... Hmmm... Oh yeah! I helped the cops bust up that crackhouse last month. And I moved that jack knifed transport truck the other day. I think that actually earned me more points with the public than the crack house. Do you have any idea how far back the traffic jam went?

Yeah, I know I haven't fought a true super villain in about a year, and there's a reason for that.

Hey Marv, you're starting to piss me off. You know it really hurts to be blasted with plasma rays and cosmic radiation, and all the other crap you have to deal with when you fight super villains. I was laid up for almost a week after that last fight. I mean how could I be expected to take on Larceny Inc. all by myself.

I know I flew away. But Smash threw a bus at me. It really hurt. You saw the Youtube video.

Well of course it would have gone better if the rest of the team had been there. Listen Marv, you're really getting on my nerves today, and I've got to get ready for that date with Paris Hilton.

What?

F&%# you. Eat my super s~!#.

Yeah, well at least I don't wear a cape.

Oh, come on that doesn't count. That was one time, on a dare, and it was worth it. Lady Liberty showed me her t@%# afterwards.

Yeah, they are really nice. Too bad she won't date me.

No, I haven't given up on her yet.

Typical phone conversation between Tom and his agent Marv. The conversation only depicts Tom's side...

Hey Marv, what's up?

Uh huh

What? You're f%#~ing kidding me. She's really filing a lawsuit?

That's b**%+@*#. Yeah I know what happened at the party. Yeah I know the comments I made about her ass might have been a bit inappropriate, but she didn't have to make such a big deal about them. It was her own fault for slapping me. I can't help it if her hand broke on my super tough skin.

F~%%. What a b*@~~. So you're going to call Blake? He's good at dealing with this kind of thing. He got me a good deal on my last divorce settlement. Maybe we could take it on Judge Judy.

Okay sounds good.

Oh you're not going to bring that up again are you? I'm happy with Captain Invincible.

No, I don't care if the PR people say that "Captain" is out. I like Captain. No I'm not going to change it to straight Invincible. Who do you think I am MC Hammer or Prince? Look Marv, it's Captain Invincible. I'm sticking with it.

Yeah, I know the tabloids make fun of the name. They're going to make fun of me no matter what I do, so it doesn't really matter does it? But you know what they say, negative attention is better than no attention.

That reminds me, did you get me Paris Hilton's number? I still don't have a date for next Saturday.

Huh?

No. Why would I go out patrolling on a Saturday night?

Well. Uh, yeah. Well, I know there tends to be more crime on Saturday nights.

Ah shut up Marv. Look I've got s++* to do. Call me when you get Paris's number.

I've started fooling around with some stats, but I still have some work to do...
