"Captain Marshall, this is your jurisdication. The mob is approaching us. I believe Nycto can take us all to another location if you want to avoid a confrontation. What do you want us as law-abiding citizens to do?"
The captain thinks for a moment, taking the time to look at the frightened looks on his men's faces. "Well, the police station is only two blocks over. I could get this * into custody and get some men together to try to stop this mob before they get out of hand."

You can tell it pains the man to even consider asking you guys for help.

"And what would you like us to do, sir?" Fenris asks with a toothy grin. "Would you like any help? Transportation, perhaps?"

"What the..." says Nycto as the wall of ice forms around him.

"Ok gang, lets go to the police station, where the rockman can be put behind bars, and we can make a plan to control the mob, as reasoning now will be hard."

OoC
Nycto starts the teleport of all inside the ice wall.

"If you can.." the captain begins but is cut off but a rather unmanly shriek from one of the other officers as the shadows stretch and twist around him and everyone else.

The shrieking continues as everyone is deposited just outside the police station among a group of bewildered cops and pedestrians. Irritated, Captain Marshall walks over to the screaming policeman, his eyes sinched shut in terror, and slaps him, hard, across the face.

"Get the Rockman inside and booked. The rest of you, what the * are you standing around for? Get into riot gear, we've got a problem at the square." The street outside the police station springs to life as officers equip themselves and clear out the civilians.

Looking down the street, you can see a part of the downtown area two blocks off. A mob of people pass into view, walking towards the now empty dome of ice, hoping to lynch themselves a nova. A gunshot rings out, only slightly muffled by the distance, and a cheer rises from the mob. More gunshots snap out followed by cheers of approval as you hear the call of "Shots fired" over the police radios.

The Captain turns his attention back to you guys. "It'd be better if we handle this from here." He looks squarely at Nycto and gives a short nod, the closest he'll get to saying thank you today. "I'd suggest you guys..."

He's interupted by an electric hum and crackle, followed by screams and gunfire. The mob has begun to scatter as three giant construction robots charge the crowd, arc welders and steel claws striking out visciously at the threat!

Javier doesn't hesitate. "Sorry, Marshall, but I don't think your boys can tackle something like that," he calls back as he races to the scene.

Fenris shouts to the team, "we've got to find that nova chick! The one orchestrating the building. The robots worship her. They probably think she is in danger. Who's the best to go? Nycto? If you think me, find me in the middle of the combat." Fenris blurs towards the robots and will tackle (grab) one if he can reach it in one move.

Nycto replies the Captain with a short nod.

"Well that's one way to stop a mob..." says Nycto as he sees the scene.

Nycto nods at Fenris "Hope We can still help. Everybody look for that girl scientist. If anyone wants a ride back to the mess stick around."

Like a shadow Nycto starts teleporting towards the confusion.

OoC:
If Nyx, Marshall, some cops or Overdrive want they can get a lift by Nyctos teleport, next to the confusion (near the building shadow).
If not, Nycto will teleport into the air, near the building and look for the scientist woman

Nyx takes a deep breath, "Alright, I'm ready," He says, thinking of how disturbing the first teleport was.

(As I said in the other thread Harrison and Susan needs to be 'released' from the cops protection/attention first. For now Harrison will champ at the bit , eager to act. Don't worry he'll join the fray in a super-jump as soon as possible )

Ok, I'm going to change the map a bit, making it bigger and delete the three buildings at the south (bottom) end of the map when I get a chance. Once I do, I'll put in the character tokens.

The mob and the attacking robots are around the fountain (F,13 area). Dr Cheryl Mortinson was last seen around C,30 but is currently out of view, as are the other construction bots.


Page 1: At Nycto's offer to teleport to where the CEO of Nova Tech Inc was last seen, Captn Marshall nods his head, grabbing a shotgun from a passing officer. "Get the SWAT team and NHSC called up, then get those buildings around downtown cleared out." The young officer nods his head then hurries away.

He dramatically * the shotgun then says, "I'm ready when you fellas are."

Updated the map!

Page 1 Cont: You arrive via the shadows to the edge of the construction site where Dr Mortinson was last seen (C30) but she is no longer there.

Looking around, you see the mob ~ 10 squares to your west doing battle/trying to run away from three large robots. You hear a woman's scream from the direction of the new structure; looking, back, you see the largest of the robots has Dr Mortinson in its huge hand and has climbed to the top of the three story steel structure and is clutching her to its chest, looking around for signs of danger while ignoring her commands to shut down. (imagine a giant robot-ape holding a damsel in distress atop a partially constructed building and you'd have the scene!)

The Apebot and Dr Mortinson are 10 squares to your north, on the 3rd floor of the unfinished building.

Order of Actions:
1) Overdrive (still with Susan at police station, trying to find a ride for her)
2) Fenris
3) Nycto
4) Javi
5) Nyx
6) Cptn Marshall

"I'm going for the doctor," Fenris announces and shoots off toward the Apebot. Using the construction site as a jungle gym, he leaves hand and shoe prints into relatively malleable materials like asphalt and aluminum.
Move <20 via Swinging (briachation)
He targets the arm holding the doctor at the elbow or shoulder whichever is more assessible and vurnerable. Fenris wants to dis"arm" his opponent to remove the Apebots ability to hold the doctor without affecting its movement. Presumably, he could grab her with the other hand, but then he couldn't use that had to climb.

Fenris attempts to grab the arm and remove the hand with the doctor.
Attack the Apebot with a Called Shot
[bash="Attack"]5,0,0 = 1726874168 [/bash]
[bash="Damage"]4,0,0 = 791353922 [/bash]

[bash="Ape Bot dodges disarm"]3,-3,0 = 107856043 = Fixed[/bash]

Wow. Just, wow.

Since it is a called shot and Fenris is trying to create an effect from the hit (drop Dr Mortinson), the attack does no damage. You can call shot but not try to create an effect in which case you do +10 damage, just fyi

Fenris leaps and flips his way up the steel structure and with a resounding "clang!", strikes the Ape Bot's elbow, causing its hand to momentarily malfunction, dropping Dr Mortinson to the third floor unharmed. The Ape Bot screams in it's emotionless, synthesizer voice, pounding its three other arms in rage, shaking the building!

(Did I mention Ape Bot has four arms and two short legs? Well it does)

Nycto's next!

Javier opens his mouth to speak, but Fenris is too fast. Seeing the savage hero leap to the doctor's rescue, the Hispanic firebrand adjusts the plan forming in his head.

"Nycto, Nyx!" he yells to his compatriots. "Choose a robot to dance with! Draw them away from the civilians!"

He turns to the police captain. "Marshal, you're the cop! Get those people moving the * away from here!"

Fenris just notices that that thing has four arms and wasn't damaged at all in his attack. Uh oh. I really * that thing off. This thing is not a thug that can used as a baseball bat or scared off.

"Someone, secure the doctor!" Fenris yells to his team trying to not look intimidated by the giant apebot.
Fenris would be in a box on the side of the Apebot that it was holding the doctor. Base-to-base. Either B or C 26
