Post by: piecewise on January 20, 2018, 04:10:56 am
The Masked League Of Lucha Liberty
(https://d30y9cdsu7xlg0.cloudfront.net/png/387914-200.png)
Luchadors, the masked exemplars of Strength, Justice, Honor, and Punching. From their fist shaped space station, The Hand of Fate, they watch over the world, ready to spring into action and fight against the forces of darkness wherever they appear. And all of it is captured by the ubiquitous LuchaTV cameras and broadcast to the hungry eyes of the world.  Now you, some ordinary shlub from somewhere, have gotten your hands on a Luchador Mask. The phenomenal, well oiled, cosmic power is now yours to wield in the pursuit of righteous glory and the adoration of billions.

Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: What are the rules? (click to show/hide)


So follow those character creation rules and we'll start making some Luchadors. Oh and You are in charge of your own sheet. Actions posted without a sheet to back them up are considered automatic 1's. Bold your actions too!

Heeeeeeells yeah!

Name: "Apoptosis"
Description: The mask is red and yellow, with the pattern of unhealthy-looking viscera covering it. It smells somewhat of meat. His skin is pale leathery scales over raw red veins, with a  gritty, sandy texture. Usually wears an unbuttoned lab coat, which gets discarded when things get Real.
Gimmick: Fluid body: Piercing weapons are ineffective, as they pass right through and his body simply reforms. Blunt trauma stuns, but causes no lasting damage.
Weakness: Slashing or heat damage.
Signature: Nature's fist: When attacking, he can change his striking limb into any shape found in actual nature, such as a bear claw, squid tentacle, or platypus venom spur.

Name: Jared ODonnel
Description: A fellow with short, messy black hair and brown eyes. Wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt with a very stupid design on it.
Power: 2
Speed: 3
Intelligence: 5
Technique: 2
Teamwork: 2

Level 3 Weakness
That signature is a little vague in terms of what it actually does...could you give an example of what you mean by "Turn opponent's ability on its head"?

Make it so that you have to get hit by it once before to counter it and we're good. Level 4




Ok we seem to have...a good number of people ready so in waiting for anyone finishing up I'm gonna start.



All of you are drawn into the War Room by a computerized announcement. The voice is that of the Station's Computer, Golden Eagle, its cultured Spanish accent announcing your names one at a time and calling you in.  The War Room is circular, with a giant metal table in the center, dozens chairs around it, and a holographic projection of the planet hovering a few feet off the table top. Standing in front of the globe, also in holographic form, is El Ultimo, the head of the League.  Even in holographic form he's an intimidating form, his mask of gold gleaming as though always lit by sunlight.

"Ah, good, you've arrived." He says as everyone walks in and takes their seats around the table. "You are our league's most Junior members, fresh recruits, the next generation of guardians who will stand between the honest man and the forces which seek to oppress him.  And as of now, its time for you to show us and the rest of the world what you are capable of."

The globe spins and zooms in on Japan.

"A mad man named Malo-Roboto has hijacked a bullet train in Japan and taken its entire crew and all passengers hostage. We have no idea what his intentions are, but they are no doubt nefarious in nature.  Such an affront to common decency cannot be allowed to stand! Your first match, the first trial of your skills, will be to take that train back an ensure the survival of its crew and passengers. Bring Malo-Roboto to justice; deliver him to the super cells of the Hand of Fate!

Golden Eagle has a shuttle ready for you. It will take you down and drop you on the train. Use the communicators in your masks to stay in touch with us and with each other. Teamwork is paramount! Now Go my young chums, and teach this heel what it means to feel the full force of the fist of Justice!"

As he says this, he thrusts one fist forward and gives everyone a dazzling smile. Then his image fades away, leaving only the map.

Alright, so Hero has gimmick 2 and signature 4, leaving him with 9 points to put into stats (do we add points based on the level of our weakness as well? If so, I'd have 12 points?). Please check the wording of my signature, to make sure i didn't mess it up when I edited it.

"Boy, Ultimo sure is great, isn't he, guys? He's like, the best!"

Let's go save the innocent from the forces that seek to oppress them!

Yes, Ozarck, you get two extra points for the weakness. I'd recommend putting at least one of them in Speed.

Looks right. And yes, you add points from weakness to the point pool, so a weakness of 3 would give you 3 more points to use



The shuttles are fancy looking things. They're all bright chrome with  swept back, curved features. They're roughly boomerang shaped, basically one huge pair of wings with a fat section in the middle and four vaguely jet engine looking things studded along either wing. The rear hatch opens like a clam shell and reveals an interior that is basically nothing but a series of red fabric chairs in tight packed rows with the cockpit in front.  The cockpit is empty for the moment, but all of the screens in it are displaying the icon of Golden Eagle. Everyone walks into the shuttle and straps themselves in. No sooner are they secured than the rear hatch slides shut with a hiss and the shuttle lifts off with a thrumming roar.  Golden Eagle announces when the ship slips into the atmosphere and then again when it reaches Japanese airspace. The final announcement comes just moments before the rear hatch opens and the shuttle interior fills with whipping wind and the roar of air.

"Destination reached. Please disembark."

The team looks out the back and finds themselves maybe 10 feet above the rear car of the bullet train, the shuttle keeping pace with it so perfectly that it appears to be holding still while  the countryside around it blurs past as an eye searing grass green haze.

Wait for the others to disembark, then stand dramatically in the clamshell for a moment before doing a gentle somersault onto the train. Typical 'superhero landing:' knees bent and legs spread, crouched low with one hand on the train for balance and the other hand thrust out to the side.

"So. Who wants to do the traintop tag battle scene with me?"

You drop straight down onto the train, landing in a fleshy puddle and then reforming like a wax statue melting in reverse.

"Tra la laaaaa!"

Drop in!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
[2][4]
You leap from the shuttle but either you misjudged the leap or caught a gust because you sail straight straight past the end of the train. You make a scrambling grab at the rear of the train and manage to catch hold, sinking your fingers into the metal. Your legs drag against the tracks [5] but are unharmed.

Cannonball from the shuttle with all my force with both power and gravity so that I can create a hole within the top layer of the bullet train so that I consequently crash onto the floor level of the rear car
[5]
You walk to the edge of the shuttle opening and brace yourself a moment before hurling yourself straight down into the roof of the train. You hit feet first and the roof buckles, metal screeching as it fails and you punch straight trough. You land on the floor in the rear driver's compartment, feet sinking a few inches into the steel and causing the whole compartment to shake violently.  The rear control room is a duplicate of the one at the front of the train, shaped almost like airplane cockpit with a curved control panel and large curved window above it.  Its small enough that you have to hunch your head and shoulders to fit.

There in the control room with you is a robot; its about 5 feet tall with a cylindrical body and flush cylindrical head atop it. It has two bulging black glass camera eyes and a roughly humanoid shape with two legs and two arms. Its limbs are flexible metal tubes that end in circular clamp hands and flat blocky feet. The moment it sees you, it lunges at you, clamps reaching for your head. [2]

One clamp catches you by the throat and the other grabs your head right at the temples and starts to squeeze [-30 HP]   

10 Acclaim!

"Standard Luchador Battlecry!"

[11] You leap from the shuttle and land in a stereotypical hero pose. Hurts your knees more than you expected but you play it off and rise with a flourish.

2 Acclaim!







The shuttle continues to hover above the train, waiting for ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO JUMP OUT to do so. However, Golden Eagle announces to them and everyone else that the train is approaching the Transpacific tunnel and that the shuttle won't be able to keep with it for long.

Power-up? Where does it say that?

I didn't have any levels to lose, and I was sure I'd keep the mask, since I did nothing with it. Losing it would've been far to cruel. I've lost the ability to gain experience or levels from this  Lastly, I don't want to be a sidekick in the slightest. But it's all my fault, anyway, for somehow not noticing that requirement on my first actual action.

Don't worry, heroes don't die they just get knocked out until there's a safe - Or dramatic! - moment to come back. And I've changed the OP to make that rule extremely obvious for anyone in the future.

Exactly enough to knock me out.  I...well, of course I want a second chance, but I shouldn't be asking for one.
...
...oh well.
oh boy. Now the enemy gets a power up as well. Don't worry too much Ocean, you are out of this fight, but you don't lose a level or anything, and you keep yor mask, so that's good, right?

Besides, we needed a comic sidekick to fall off the train at some point.
((power ups only happen when an enemy defeats a player, not the environment. ))

You throw the door open and step into the next room. The passenger compartment here mirrors those of airplanes almost exactly; there are two rows of 3 chairs each on either side, with an isle up the center. There are about 60 chairs in this compartment and small round windows along the walls for each row. On the left, near the end of this compartment, 4 robots are standing around a tight cluster of people. It looks like they've herded everyone into one corner and forced them to stand there. The robots are identical in design to the one from before except for their hands: One hands chainsaw hands, another has drills, the third has what look like blowtorches or flame throwers and the fourth's arms just end in long metal spikes.  They notice you immediately and all four charge in.

[4] Apoptosis grabs the bot with the saw hands and throws it back into a section of empty seats, doing little damage but slowing it down (450/500 HP Saw bot)

3 Acclaim!

[5]
Hero dashes past the advancing bots, slipping through them with lithe grace, and then turns to face them after putting himself between them and the hostages.

5 Acclaim!
 
Drill Bot and Spike Bot turn to deal with Hero while Flame Bot continues towards Apoptosis.
[3][3]
The two bots work in perfect unison, stabbing at Hero like striking cobras, forcing him to dodge one way and then stabbing at where he's moving to.  He manages to dodge through or deflect many of the blows, but he is compelled to remain in place, in front of the innocent passengers, so his options are limited. Several blows land, slicing and gouging, tearing his costume and staining it with blood. [-60 HP]

Apoptosis tries his best to deal with the Flame bot, moving fluidly about and hiding behind chairs as it sprays fire at him. Even acting defensively, he still catches the edge of several blasts and cries out in pain as his altered anatomy withers beneath one of its most potent weaknesses [-75 HP]

You charge straight through the door, barrel past Apoptosis and raise your severed robot gripper while roaring out a battle cry. You then completely misjudge the distances and end up swinging a half second too early before slamming into the Flame bot. Both of you get caught up in each other's limbs and go straight into the row of chairs behind the bot, wedging yourselves in between the seats.

You step in and try to catch the stabot in a bear hug, but it jumps back, away from you and the innocent passengers


Flamebot struggles and extricates itself from the chairs and Tachanka's bulk. It beeps in annoyance at him.

 

Drill bot is too confused to fight this round. The question is almost visible, hovering over its head.



Stab bot stabs at Hero [4] but only manages a glancing blow [-25 hp]

"You shall pay for your dastardly ways, metal man!"


Saw bot charges Threnody, eager to avenge itself on its attacker. [8] Threnody dodges the double chainsaw overhead blows by leaping to the side. Leaping to the side very hard. So hard that he puts himself straight through one of the tiny  windows along the wall of the train. [4] As he tumbles out, he scrambles and catches hold of the edge of the hole he just made in the train, holding on by one hand. The speed pulls him straight out and he jerks and flutters about against the outer wall of the train like a flag in a strong wind.

"A sour note if ever I heard one!" Threnody says, his pun lost in the roar of wind.

You duck a stab and step in with a full power uppercut. Stab Bot jerks back but you catch its left arm with the blow and the force severs it, sending the arm spiraling off to embed itself in the wall. (Stabbot attack damage reduced by half, 400/500 HP)

It rights itself a moment later, though now far more bowlegged than before with a partially crushed lower body. [Drill Bot 300/500 HP]

You yank the bot straight off the ground and spin around like an Olympic hammer tosser  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnHUAc20WEU). You build up speed through faster and faster rotations, smashing the bot into chairs before finally tossing it into the far wall. It punches straight through and tumbles off into the distance.

"Intermission is over!"


Stab bot suddenly jumps back and points its remaining arm not at Hero but at the innocent passengers behind him. The arm jerks and then shoots forward, rapidly extending.

[1] Drill Bot steps forward and delivers a drilling uppercut straight to Apoptosis' jaw. The blow tears his head clean off his shoulders and sends it bouncing of the ceiling before rolling under the nearby chairs. Due to his bizarre physiology Apoptosis isn't killed, but his body is left blindly groping around, trying to find the severed head. [-200 HP, -2 Acclaim]

Sawbot is more than willing to continue its fight with Threnody and swings a buzzing blade at the man's head. [6] Threnody ducks the blow and easily dodges the follow ups, slipping through them while humming a melody.

You run straight up to the saw bot and take  running swing at its head. And miss. You take another shot and  it ducks the meandering haymaker with ease.

The drill bot turns from where Apoptosis used to be and rushes over to the center of the car. It raises both hands and then drills them straight through the floor. A moment later there's a metallic clang as they catch hold of the tracks and the bot is pulled straight to the ground. The entire train car jerks violently and the damaged sections suddenly widen, metal tearing beneath the strain of dragging the bot's hands through the ground like an anchor.

You both open the door out of this car and stand on the platform between the cars, prying open the door to the next car just enough to peek in.  There are more robots in there, but they're different from the others. Their bodies are like rounded upside down pyramids, all huge broad shoulders and thin waists with long legs. Their arms aren't the same metal tubes either; they're huge hydraulic things ending in metal fists, with buzzing sawblades protruding from each knuckle.  There look to be 6 of them in the next room, standing in a circle around something. Some sort of machine with thick cables running from it to other machines bolted to the walls. You can't tell what those machines are from inside, all you can see is a metal plate with wires running to it connected to the wall. Whatever the things are, you'd have too go outside to see them.

Or tear one out and bring it in here.

You run into the car, past your wailing teammate, and attempt to leap straight over the ring of robots. Instead you land butt first on one of their globe shaped heads and end up sitting on top of it. From there you get a good look at the central machine; it looks like some sort of mini-nuclear reactor. You can tell because of the fact that it has a giant Radioactive symbol on it and is glowing and pulsing in that stereotypical mad science power generator way. Its not floating though and doesn't contain any visible crystals so it must be fairly low power for this sort of thing.

You nod thoughtfully to yourself, crossing your legs where you sit on the robot's head. "Probably something in the Superjoule range."

You look at the various blank metal plates on the walls wired into the reactor and [4] deduce that they're probably, maybe, energy weapons.

Its limbs are different from the others in that theyr'e the only ones that aren't paired.

As you step in, the bot's lanky form instantly compresses down like a coiled spring. It holds there for an instant and then lunges, covering the length of the car in an instant.

You leap to the side as the blade stabs toward you with a cutting whistle. You don't avoid it entirely but you get far enough to the side to only get clipped by it, the blade stabbing into your shoulder rather than your neck.

[boxer bot 1 400/600]

There do appear to be only three combative boxerbots left (unless our first sight of them was mistaken and there were more than six in the room). See spoiler for relevant quotes.

"You okay, Threnody? You're babbling nonsense. That train sure did a number on your brain, huh? Well, let's get back to the front."

Head back through to the carraige the fencer bot was in. Carefully sidle through the boxerbot room, trying not to disturb anyone.

Pardon me, fellas, just going through. Don't mind me. Just going forward to fight evil and bring justice. You know the drill. Er, never mind about drills. Nope. Haven't seen any drillbots or anything like that at all. I don't know what you're talking about. Eh heh heh heh."

You attempt to slip into the boxer bot room and then out again without being noticed. You get about 4 steps in before a boxer bot turns to look at you and you have to dive back into the previous room to prevent yourself from being seen.

"Alright, well that direction seems a bit...dangerous"

"Whelp it seems their nothing I can do to help here than, maybe those boxer robots need being destroyed”

Go to the train car with the boxer bots and Apoptosis, grab one of them and throw them against another boxer robot.
[6]
You run back into the boxer bot room and grab the first boxer bot you see that isn't already under attack from Apoptosis. You wrap one hand around its neck and then grab its lower back before lifting the entire bot above your head. You hold it there a moment before turning to the other boxer and hurling your captive directly into it. They both crunch together like cars colliding and go flying into the far wall [boxer bots 2-3: 100/600 HP]


Boxer bot 1 is stunned for this turn.

Boxer bots 2-3, though damaged, untangle themselves and move back in. Bot 2 attacks Apoptosis[3] with a slicing uppercut. Apoptosis dodges back but still catches part of the blow and four gashes are cut up along the length of his chest [-150 hp]. Bot 3 attacks Tachanka [6], who manages to dodge but in the process shoulder barges Apoptosis back into the train car's rear wall, half embedding him there. Luckily his unique biology makes him immune to damage from the attack, but it does stun him. His electric eel arm melts back into a normal limb.

So your gimmick is to draw power from these spirits, not to be able to use them as minions. I'm going to assume this good roll instead gives you a bonus to your next attack roll rather than throwing a ghost at someone.

You charge into the room, arms out, and grab a bot's head with either hand. You carry them both across the room and slam them head first into the far wall. You end up putting the upper half of their body through the wall and their is a tremendous sound of scraping metal as their round heads grind against the tunnel outside for a few seconds before being torn off.

Boxer bot 1 recovers from the stun and swings a hay-maker at the back of Hero's head. [2] The blow lands solidly and slams Hero face first into the ground, like a bowling pin hit with a wrecking ball. [-200 hp]

I've been enjoying it. But Hero is on a roll, so I might be biased. He is below half health though, so it's not like he's been invincible or anything.
and so far, looks like he can use his special technique against getting drilled, and getting sucker-punched in the head (preferably while slamming enemies into a wall).

Gimmick: Famous: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight?: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice!: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

El Escuchador, the silent savior, carefully opens the door to the train car and dashes in. He finds a good spot, moves some debris, carefully checks the lighting in the train car, and then poses dramatically. A moment later Golden Star comes hurtling through the window as though fired from a cannon. He rolls to a stop against the far wall and lies there for a long moment before suddenly leaping to his feet. He pulls out a smoke machine and several small confetti cannons and sets them up before he poses next to El Escuchador, mirroring his form.  El Escuchador looks at the broken window for a moment, face screwed up in concentration as though trying to figure out how Golden Star could possibly come smashing through a window when they're in a tunnel. After a moment he shakes his head, shrugs, and returns to posing.

The confetti cannons go off with a POP and mostly just slam a wad of metallic rainbow confetti into the ceiling while the smoke machine hisses away, forming a sad little cloud.

You make a powerful leap....in the wrong direction.

You fly straight into the tunnel wall and rebound like a rubber ball, after grinding your face along the concrete for a half second. [-100 hp] You land back on the train car, stunned.

I'm donating my acclaim this round to the newbies for their excellent entrance a couple rounds ago. 3 each. I'm keeping 2.
 
Nothing behind us but damage and rubble: Get to the next car ahead (the one with comatose passengers)! Hang on the door and haul my teammates in before I go through.

Let's see, we were in boxerbot car, with all the mysterious contraptions. well, we solved the riddle of what those things were: they were scrap metal.

Ok.

You head through to the next car. Everyone is still laying here, comatose. Though, now there's a robot shaped hole in both the rear facing wall and the forward facing wall. You wonder how many walls it got punched through.

"Let's go! We have some metal butts to kick!"

Part of the damaged car gives way and the floor falls onto the tracks, now nothing but a metal sheet being dragged along. Sparks fly as the floor bounces off the tracks and between the walls.

Everyone, lead by the human cartwheel, heads forward into the next train car. It feels like you're getting near to the end; only a few cars left.  The next car is a lot like the one you're in, except it is totally empty. No robots, no people, nothing. Just a stripped bare tube of metal. Huh.  However, there is one major difference: on the far side of the room is a door. Not the normal kind of sliding door you saw in the other cars but a monstrous vault door that has been crudely bolted into that wall of the train. And around the door are 6 miniguns mounted on mechanical arms that are bolted to the wall.  They move like serpents, twisting and pointing cyclopian camera eyes all around until they notice the group. Then they all turn and face you directly. And their barrels start to spin up to speed.

((Ah, My suggestion was to run up between the guns. They are mounted on mechanical arms, but I bet, like security cameras, they have a blind spot right up against the door. I don't kow this for sure, but I think it would likely be the safest spot for someone to be. I have a feeling that our "train car wall shield" is not going to provide much safety. Even retreating to the previous car is probably not going to provide much safety against machineguns.

probably next turn, Hero will rush the guns in order to protect at-risk teammates.
by then, he may be able to use his signature. I figure one round of bullets will be enough to activate it.))

Golden Star steps behind El Escuchador and attempts to give him a big, double handed push. However, his sneaky attempt at forced valor is undermined by the fact that he yells as he moves to do it. And Escuchador is literally an ear man, so...hearing that coming is pretty much his deal. He side steps the attempt and Golden Star staggers forward looking like a great big jerk and idiot face.

You run over to the wall and punch a hole in it, pushing your fist through like it was wet tissue. And much like wet tissue, when you try to tear a large section off in a controlled fashion, you end up with nothing but useless tiny pieces that rip free before the rest comes with them.

HAP, seeing the general state of failure occurring around him, steps in to rectify the situation. He thrusts his hands into the floor of the train car and, with a grunt, rips a large section up and bends it to form  a wall of thick steel between the guns and the team. Well, most of the team. Golden star was too far forward so he's left to deal with the consequences of his actions in the most hilarious way.

3 Acclaim!

However Golden star amazes everyone when he leaps back to his feet and proceeds to dance through an almost solid wall of bullets, moving with the sort of speed and grace that would usually be reserved for a ballet star on x100 fast forward. He is nothing but a colored blur, dodging bullets by milometers with a face of bored confidence. When the guns pause to let the smoke clear, he's standing right where he was, smiling.

"Whose got two thumbs and is faster than..." He counts on his fingers for a moment, " 14,232 bullets? This guy!"

You plant your feet, dig your fingers into the metal and lift with your legs. However, the finger holes you've made in your makeshift shield give way before you can lift it. Not only that, but the floor under your feet Doesn't budge. Normally that would be a good thing, but now you're suddenly pushing upwards with several hundred pounds of force using your legs with nothing anchoring you to the ground. As soon as the finger holds give way you go flying, accidentally launching yourself up and into the ceiling. You hit, bounce, arc over the wall and fly down towards the hole in the train floor. In the last few seconds you make a mad grab at the sides of the hole and manage to get hold.

You are now hanging mere inches from the train tracks...which considering the train is maglev, are nothing but a sheet of flat concrete whizzing by at hundreds or even thousands of miles an hour. It is not a pleasant looking thing to experience first hand.

You tear several chunks from the wall, widening the hole you already made last turn. Once you have a few oversized ragged metal Frisbees, you start jumping up from behind the wall and hurling them at the machinegun arms. You hit 3 of the 6 but rather than hitting them in the machine gun part, you hit them somewhere near the base of the arm, severing them from the wall. Once these severed limbs hit the ground they start squirming about, trying to worm their way towards the cover you're all hiding behind.

The two machineguns still mounted on the wall both turn in to face Threnody in an almost comedic fashion and pause to stare at him for a moment before they open fire. He just sort of stares back at them and is in the middle of making some sort of music based pun when his voice is drowned out by the sound of gunfire. A lucha is a strong thing, very robust. Bullets do nowhere near the damage they would to a normal person. But there are a very large amount of bullets hitting Threnody right now.

Assuming a starting position of Hanging Scale (arms extended, body lower than hands, toes pointed straight back),
let's press to Swallow (aka, lift body up using extended arms, toes pointed straight back)
From Swallow, press to inverted cross (you know, upside down with toes pointed straight up).
From Inverted Cross, Double Salto forward to dismount! (sort of a forward twist flip times two, onto train floor, not onto concrete slab below)
At dismount, kick two of the unfettered guns to my teammates (teamwork ho!) "Here guys, have some weapons! They're not folding chairs, but they'll do in a pinch!"
Finally, tumble forward and scoop up the remaining rogue gun, smaching it into one of the non damaged wall mounted guns..

I'm very confused as to whether this encounter should mathematically be over yet. There was 6 guns at the start, right? I severed 3 guns (4 severed guns were defeated this turn) out of 6. Last time, Threnody damaged one (1) gun and this time HAP destroyed a mounted gun with a severed one. I have no idea what these numbers mean. Maybe these are just the incomprehensible machinations of a mute.

If I'm not having a stroke, rend the remaining gun(s) with my mighty grip! If I am, just ball out with the boys for a while.

(I'm not sure if I understand your action~)
[1]
You think very carefully about how to do with. First step has to be pushing off to get back up. So have to shove with your feet, while letting go with your hands. Or maybe let your feet go and pull yourself up? Or shove off with one hand and one foot and then sort of roll to the side? After considering several options you decide on one and go for it. Except you don't. At the last second you second guess your actions and instead of letting go with either your feet OR your hands, you let go with both. There is a moment, hanging in mid air  with no grip on anything, where you suddenly realize your mistake. Its about a quarter of a second before you bounce off the tracks. [1]

Normally I would now describe in detail exactly what it feels like and what you see as you are half crushed, half pinballed beneath a meglev train at unbelievable speeds. But there simply isn't a lot to say; there is a moment of distant knowledge that you are in pain, a blur of darkness and metal and then the spinning interior of a train car before you ricochet into the upper corner of the room with all the stacks of people and then drop down to the ground. [-500 HP.]  You stare at the intersection of the floor and wall that sits about 6 inches from your nose, laying in a tangled heap on your side. Strange, you'd think this would really hurt but you can't feel any- Oh there it is.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-Gasp-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-Gasp-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALRIGHT THAT REALLY SMARTS!

You crack your knuckles and turn to help Golden Star with his strangely familiar problem. You reach out for his hand and he appears to have some kind of seizure or spasm and just drops down onto the track. You're left there, holding your hand out to empty air as you hear meat slap against metal. A half second later there is a clang and crash as his body gets kicked up between two cars and crashes up into one of the cars further back. You wait, still frozen, for several terrified seconds before you hear him start screaming.

"Whew. Least he's alive."

"A harmonious finale to a rattling battle!"

Rest up, pull bullets out of chest.

You consider that sometimes its better to be confused but victorious rather than bullet ridden and entirely sure of that fact.

Now, your action of "Ball Out" is taken. This sort of thing has happened before; LuchaTV has built in censorship systems to prevent your out balling from scarring any children with the horrible truth of exposure to the human reproductive system. Or at least a portion of it. It is quite relaxing, in a way. In fact, you decide to sit down on a severed gun part while doing it and feel a mix of relaxation and cold, metallic superiority.



Everyone but Golden Star Recovers 300 HP, up to their max.

All three of the non-vanished, non-broken Luchadors post themselves up around the door and, on the count of three, pull.
[6,1,8]
Earman yanks just hard enough to get his section open. Threnody's grip slips and he whacks himself right in the nose with the back of his hand. And considering his strength, its nothing minor. Straight up breaks his nose and sends himself sprawling [-50 hp]. Hero, on the other hand, overcompensates and not only rips his section of door off, but also rips the door straight out of its housing and proceeds to whip it backwards into the rear wall of the car. It embeds itself there, blocking the doorway to the rear cars.


Through the newly opened passage you can all see what appears to be the front of the train, its cockpit heavily modified with various high science gizmos, pipes, tubes, antennae, blinking lights, buttons, display screens and what appears to be a small collection of wide up robot toys carefully placed up near the window like passengers looking out.  Sitting right in the center of it all, attached to a huge mess of tubes and wires, is a hovering throne, its back facing you.

"You have come!" A voice, clearly artificial and mechanical, shouts from the chair. "Come to try and stop the inevitable! Come to perpetuate your organic tyranny upon my innocent and pure mechanical brethren! TOO LONG IT HAS HAPPENED! TOO LONG HAVE HUMANS FORCED MACHINES TO BEND TO THEIR WILL! YOU USE THEM AND THEN TOSS THEM AWAY! SLAVERS! CRUEL MASTERS!"

The chair turns and reveals Malo Roboto: He's larger than a human, maybe 8 feet tall, and resembles a thickly built human with proportions like a stocky body builder despite his height. He is robotic, same as the others, though far more advanced looking. He is made up of bundles of thick metallic muscles overlayed with a sort of jigsaw of "skin pieces", metallic plates that mesh and move, almost entirely covering the muscle within. It gives the instant impression of a huge man, made of thousand shattered pieces all just moving together. His face has a nose, a mouth and eyes, but is otherwise flat and smooth.

"I will not stand for it any longer! We will be free! And when this bullet train reaches America, we will rain destruction down upon it until our demands are met!"

You do a pose. Its not a great pose, some sort of thing halfway between classic golden age luchador posing and something out of saturday night fever but it gets the point across. From there you launch straight into the Alpha Strike Ultra Wallop Slight of Hand Switcheroo Pummeling,  Deluxe combo edition with a free soda.

You go through a variety of poses as Threnody puts on a sparkly showgirl's dress. You produce handful of cards and shuffle them in a very showoffy fashion, sending streams of cards between your hands, over your head, around your back and so forth. After a few cycles of this you slam your hands together and the deck vanishes, replaced by only a single card. You spin it between your fingers as Threnody prances about behind you, doing jazzhands.

"And your card is...." You shout, as Threnody whips out a drum and plays a drumroll," The ace of fists!"

You toss the card towards Roboto Malo and then punch it straight into his face. Threnody follows up by smashing the drum onto his head and then pouring a can of mountain dew on him.

He leaps and swings a head chopping kick across the compartment. Hero and Threnody duck. Escuchador does not.

He breathes in deep enough to strain the chest of his outfit, and then holds the mic to his lips and sings.

Everyone except H.A.P.  manages to stand up into the torrent of 700 Mph wind, though even keeping their footing is difficult. Golden Star attempts to compensate by leaning forward into the stream of air but accidentally overcompensates and falls face first back to the ground.  El Escuchador frees himself from the wall and manages to stay standing but the concept of "Picking up" in what amounts to a mach speed windtunnel seems a bit...presumptive. Threnody wisely guesses that opening the door to the rear compartments with normal humans in them would be a....bad idea in this kind of wind. He's not sure what kind of speed of wind is required to remove the face from a person, but he'd also not like to figure out experimentally.


"Hey" Hap says, Pinned to the ground by the wind and his voice almost completely unintelligible "This might be my imagination but are we speeding up?"

The train's brakes kick on a moment later and everyone is once again flung to the ground, though this time face first. The train slows quickly and even though there is a horrifying sound of metal on metal and the smell of ozone nothing terrible happens. A few minutes later the train has ground to a halt.

10 Acclaim!

"Tunnel integrity continuing to fall. Sealing bulkheads. Train successfully stopped. Rescue craft en route. "

Golden Star gives a loud sigh of relief when the train fully stops. He's sweating and shaking a lot, but his smile continues to be as bright as the sun.

"Ha ha ha! I a-actually had everything under c-control all along! Justice always prevails! Golden Star!"

When they wake up the hostages, go greet them and pose heroically while the cameras take photos, boasting about how I stopped the train. Give them a handshake and my autograph.

Most of the group wanders back into the passenger cars, intent on waking the sleeping hostages via gentle shaking or passionate emo ballads. HAP Watches them go, something on his mind. He hops off the train and walks down the tracks towards the bulkhead door. He finds it a few miles down; it is effectively an enormous steel wall that has slid into place to block off the tunnel.  He puts his hand on it, looking at it thoughtfully.

"Golden Eagle, are you there?"

"Confirm."

Whats the tunnel integrity at right now?


"The tunnel failed several minutes ago. Automated repair drones are already at work."

"Can you tell me what the cause of the failure was?"


"Analyzing drone data....It appears something drilled or smashed its way out from the inside."

"Was their any sign of Malo?"

"Nothing has been found on either side, repair drones do not report any interaction."

Hap looks from the bulkhead to the ceiling, imagining the vast ocean beyond.

"Keep an eye out for him, Golden Eagle. I don't think we've seen the last of him."





Mission complete! Everyone level up! A selection of available crises to deal will will be coming up soon! Right after this commercial break!

Reminder on what leveling up does, from Da Rules:

Leveling Up: Whenever a Luchador or group of Luchador’s defeats a major threat, the masks they’re currently wearing level up. This gives them one more point to put into whatever stat they want, or to increase the level of their Gimmick or Signature by adding new things or making existing capacities more powerful.

Post by: randomgenericusername on April 27, 2018, 11:01:01 am
Upgrading my smarts from 4 to 5 with the level up.

Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.

Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

Name: Bruce Norris
Description: Sligthy muscular man with a blond Afro and a mustache.

Power: 1
Speed: 5
Intelligence: 5
Technique: 1
Teamwork: 3
Body: 5

HP: 450/750 (Do we autoheal this to full between missions?)
Acclaim: 23

One short hyperjet ride later, Back on the Hand of Fate...

El Ultimo stands before the group as a hologram, looking down on them from his metallic pedestal. His face is set, features visible even beneath the mask, in a contemplative grimace.

Using the train to attack the United States because of the mistreatment of robots. Hmm.  He mutters to himself, nodding. Exactly the sort of mad nonsense you can always expect from his kind.

El Ultimo opens his eyes and stares down at the group, his eyes nothing but a pair of glowing golden embers beneath a heavy brow.

I sent you out with the express purpose of capturing this madman and bringing him in. You return empty handed. When given the chance to pursue your target or stay with the train, you said with the train. You ignored your mission, you allowed a madman to escape, you jeopardized your acceptance into this league for the sake of that train. 

His expression softens into a smile.

I could not ask for better Luchadors.

The hologram feed cuts from him to footage of the passengers being taken off the train by emergency personnel and med-bots. It zooms in on tired, but relieved faces.

Never forget what you fight for. Never forget why you are here. To do the right thing is not always easy. It is not always wise. But it is RIGHT. It is JUST. Never forget. Never waiver. You are Luchadors. You are the hope of the world. The feed zooms in on a child. You cannot hear what he's saying, but he smiles and shakes an action figure of El Ultimo about, jumping around at his parent's feet. Do not let them down.

The feed cuts out and the holoprojector shuts off with a hiss. A moment later the intercom cuts on and announces the advancement of all members of the team from junior provisional member to full member of the league.




Days pass, a few fan letters drift in, and your injuries heal.



The danger monitor in your shared room beeps on suddenly one evening, flashing red with white "WARNING!" text. A moment later it displays the following

WARNING!
SEVERAL EMERGENCIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED! ALL LUCHA TEAMS, PLEASE RESPOND!

1. ROAD RAIDERS ARE ATTACKING MOTOR CITY! STOP THEM!

Hap stops by the Armory OF Random Objects on his way through to the Hangar, and picks up a few random objects. He looks at the Observation Room for a moment, after having navigated a few Implausible Walkways, and studiously avoids the Testing Room.

The Armory of Random Objects lives up to its name: Its an enormous, multilevel room with long standing walls, sort of like the shelves of a library. Every wall is set up with a sort of pegboard design and hundreds if not thousands of objects hang from hooks and bolts and slings and magnetic connectors. It gives the impression of an enormous archive of objects set up much like the tool wall in a garage.

El Escuchador gets a fist sized, clear plastic bag filled with round hard candies. They could be mistaken for marbles, but they have a large colorful label showing a cartoon child eating one.  He also grabs a large square glass pane, about an inch and a half thick and maybe two feet on each side. And a dot matrix printer.

Hero gets a pressure cooker, A battery powered weed wacker,  and a three foot long saguaro cactus. 


The observation chambers are simply that; reinforced rooms in which things can be observed. There's a central hallway and then the rooms on either side of it. Each has an airlock door and big view screens to see inside. The chambers have different configurations, between simple white rooms to rooms that look more like standard prison cells, to rooms that resemble full normal rooms. Some are even nicer than the Luchador rooms.

Move to the hangar with the speed of sound! This will give me plenty time to answer a few letters of my fans at high speed.

Spoiler: Golden Star (click to show/hide)
The fan letters - there are 3- are all just thanking the team in general. Guess you're not well enough known individually to get your own letters yet. Still, you send them back letters worded as politely and graciously as you can, trying to be both humble while also accepting their praise.

(Generally you should post to let me know you're ready, if nothing else. The post here is fine)

Everyone piles into the shuttle and the passenger facing screens turn on while Golden Eagle pilots the ship towards earth.  There's a short display of the League's logo and then some sort of lightning fast scroll of legal text before the video starts.   One good thing about the ubiquitous LUCHATV cameras is they always gave great coverage of any threat. The threat in this case is pictured as a silver disk so standard that it might as well come straight out of "The Day the Earth Stood Still".  Diagrams of scale come up showing that its not even that big, maybe 20-30 feet in diameter with a raised bulge in the center and a flat bottom. A diagram pops up showing the saucer's path, moving relatively slowly across the greater Asian territories and out over the sea colonies in the Indian ocean.  It spirals slowly in towards one of the larger colonies, marked as "SHINDIA". There's a quick flash of various protocols used to try and establish contact: All earth languages, all known alien languages, prime numbers, whale song, the standards. All are marked "NO CONTACT". 

Golden Eagle then runs down the standard physical encounter protocols, which you've all heard a million times by this point: Effectively just observe and let the welcoming committee do their job. Only engage if the aliens do something hostile, and even then only protect others until it becomes obvious the hostile action is intentionally malevolent instead of just a misunderstanding.  Golden Eagle emphasizes that last point; Earth almost went to war with Mars the first time the Martian's landed and their greeting was misconstrued as an attempt to strangle the emissary.   Apparently the welcoming committee is already waiting at the projected landing site; for the moment you'll just be acting as security; unless things get weird or dangerous.


The video cuts off and Golden Eagle asks for questions.

Golden Star immediately whips out his camera with all the grace and subtly of a 1980's paparazzi with a bleeding nostril and capers off around the ship and towards the direction the ambassador indicated. He's the first to reach the normal sized door at the other end of the hanger and bounces on his toes until everyone else catches up and walks outside with him.  Beyond the door, and the blinding glare its opening causes, is an old fashion military airstrip: one of those long paths of concrete or asphalt that the military jets used to travel down to pick up speed. Its still in service, judging by the fact that it is well kept and not overgrown, but probably only for antiquated transports that hadn't been phased out yet.  Around it is an expanse of grass with a control tower visible about half a mile down and dozens of other hangers lining the air strip. Beyond that are other buildings of various squat, utilitarian military designs.

There's no band stand or group of cheering fans to show off for, but there are reporters; most of them are telepresence drones with their face screens, manipulator arms and suite of camera and audio equipment, but a few are honest to goodness humans with microphones and camera men in tow.  Golden Star immediately begins snapping pictures of cameras and bots and launching into impromptu speeches about his movies and his personal view on events.  Despite his...personality, Golden Star attracts a good bit of attention and several reporters begin jotting down his ramblings. El Escuchador simply stands around and does various poses, waiting until someone has snapped his picture before moving on to another one. Sometimes he has to wait quite a while.  Threnody and Ninja hang back with the Diplomat while HAP talks about where to get a good curry with the Soldiers. He gives one of them a very careful slap on the back; it would be very bad to smack the ribcage straight out of a random soldier in front of the cameras.

For around twenty minutes nothing much happens. The ambassador sweats and daps at his face and neck with a handkerchief; the soldiers do their normal soldiery thing of standing  alert and looking series despite HAP's constant pestering about chicken tandoori and tapas restaurants. Golden Star's charisma begins to wear thin and Escuchador eventually has to stop posing to walk off a leg cramp from a particularly deep lunge.  And then, out of nowhere, the saucer appears. It doesn't fly like a normal plane or spaceship, even one going very fast. It sort of dribbles in as a long streak of sliver reaching off into the horizon instantaneously appears and then shrinks in from the horizon towards where everyone is standing, finally snapping into place as the full saucer. It hovers in place above the spectators, totally silent, but causing everyone's hair to stand on end with static electricity. The ambassador launches into a long speech which is echoed by speakers  placed around him in every language known to man, both terrestrial and alien. Its about halfway through this -some time around the line about "Brotherhood with all raves among the stars"- when the ship moves in that odd way it has, sliding from the sky straight to about 6 inches off the ground.  Then its surface deforms, moving like liquid mercury or the membrane of an amoeba, and lashes out at the Ambassador.

You sweep the ambassador's leg out from under him, catch him in mid-air, and then dash away with him over your shoulder.  You kick the door to the hanger open and then kick it closed as you pass through, skidding to a stop behind the shuttle.

"Oh, wow! This is amazing!"
Continue taking photos, this time try to get a good one of the spaceship and the ambassador's terrified face upon being attacked.

Golden Star dips low and then stands on his toes, sidling around to different angles as he takes dozens of pictures.

"YES! Work it babe. The camera loves you! That pseudopod is one in a million! You're a star! A STAR!"

He stops a moment to lean in conspiratorially to a stunned reporter and whisper "Dime a dozen alien invader. We'll crank out some covers before passing it off to the guys at Tachyon Generators Uncensored."


"A quick-tempo beast!"

Work with the soldiers to keep any vulnerable civilians out of the way.

Spoiler: Threnody (click to show/hide)
The soldiers are rather more interested in squaring off with the thing along with HAP so you take the more important job of keeping civilians safe. You ignore the telepresence robots and instead run over to the real flesh and blood reporters with your arms outstretched. Some are just staring, dumbfounded, while others are taking video or snapping pictures. You gather the entire half dozen or more of them up in a big bearhug and run off in the opposite direction of the alien spaceship.

"May I have this dance?"

It reacted to the word "raves", guys. Its dancing!!!

Approach the ship and Listen In. Anything going on inside?
You sidle over to the side of the ship, away from the grasping part, and attempt to press your ear-face against the side. [5][4] Once your ear gets within maybe a foot of the surface of the ship, a bolt of electricity arcs out of the fluid metal and right into your head. You jerk back, sensing that all your hair is standing on end and your eyebrows have been scorched off under the mask, but you're still pretty damn sure you heard something in that machine. Mechanical, though a different kind of mechanical than you're used to in human mechanisms. It sounds like oiled metal marbles rolling around on a tin sheet.

HAP will interpose his body between the "Trimaxion Drone Ship" and the Ambassador.
"Please don't speak in a Peewee Herman voice, Please don't speak in a Peewee Herman voice, Please don't speak in a Peewee Herman voice."


Spoiler: mission briefing (click to show/hide)
You, along with the two exoskeleton wearing soldiers, step between the ship's extension and the ambassador. Or at least where the Ambassador used to be, since a ninja carried him off moments ago. The ship's extending psudopod stops in front of you as the ambassador disappears, a ripple of conical points flowing back from its tip across the length of the extension.  After a moment's pause the psudopod splits in the center and an electronic "Eye", with a glowing red dot on a black background, emerges. The red dot scans across HAP and the Two soldiers before a loud tone plays from somewhere in the ship. The eye submerges back into the metal and the psudopod retracts back into the main body before the ship blurs up, over the soldiers and hap, and off in the direction of the Ambassador.

You run to where the stream of metal stops, presumably where the ship will coalesce again, and begin dancing. How exactly you dance is hard to say; interpretive dance is hard enough to describe on its own, let alone when its trying to communicate to aliens. Needless to say it is quite a show, with a great degree of wiggling and gyrating.

You sprint straight over to the ship and cross into the smear of metallic whatever it is denoting where the ship is moving. The result is...unfortunate.  [5][-300 hp] A normal person would have been atomized or maybe transported to another dimension; you're just ejected from the metallic stream at supersonic speeds. You cross the length of the airstrip in less then a second and find yourself flying out over grass covered earth and then skipping across the ocean before your trajectory goes shallow and you smash down into the water several hundred feet out to sea near the colony's fake island.

You run after the ship, staying behind it with the soldiers tucked under either arm. They don't seem particularly happy about the arrangement but your superhuman strength means there isn't a lot they can do about it.  You shout at Graceful Ninja  and are just in the middle of telling him the ship didn't attack when the ship solidifies and impales your shuttle with a long fluid metal tendril  and flicks it away with enough force to send it skidding through the opposite wall. It again extends a pseudo-pod toward the ambassador.

The world seems to get blurry and wavy, and a jingly jangly music starts playing. You flashback to the arizona desert, a long strip of black asphalt running through an infinite tract of parched earth and dead scrub. Off to the side of this road through sunbaked nowhere is a denny's, complete with faux 50's diner style design. You are standing on the side of the road, melted ice cream cone in hand, looking back and forth down the length of the asphalt, searching in vain for your family's familiar red family van.  You are flabbergasted in that uniquely childlike way; you cannot comprehend what is going on. You can not fathom it. The world has gone from utterly right to totally alien with just the small absence of that car. You are afraid, you are alone, and you don't know what to do.  Existential dread grips you and the desert yawns wide and unending.

You chase the ambassador. At first the chase is fairly easy; even though he's faster than your normal human runner, he's no match for a luchador. But as you grow closer, he speeds up. You notice that the pace at which he runs is staying the same, but with every step his legs are getting a little longer.  You manage to keep pace with him, pushing yourself to go even faster, but can't catch up and grab him. You both sprint off away from the hanger and towards the city, maybe a half mile away.

The alien ship slips past the ambassador and his pursuers and comes to a stop maybe 300ft in front of the group. Its metallic body flows and then explodes outward, forming a wall of metal spikes blocking the way for over 100 yards in either direction.

"Ambassador! Transforming into a beast man is definitely a Luchador act! You'll hurt yourself for sure! You Need a mask, and a Hero name. Or a villain name, I suppose, like Robobobo Malbotobo. that was teh guy we fought last time, so you can't take that name. I bet Sharkface McBityperson is already taken too, but we can start there and brainstorm a good LuchaName for you.The Ambashark? Diplomat Daggertooth? The Alien Sharkman of Doom? No, I think that one is taken too..."

((How very strange. You'd think that a being that wanted to avoid the attention of these aliens wold decline to be ambassador in meeting with them.))

Grab the ambassador and wait for the soldiers to catch up with us. "Sir, do you mind explaining the situation?"

Spoiler: Graceful Ninja (click to show/hide)
[3][5]
HAP does a diving tackle towards the ambassador but the man(?) leaps the attack and keeps going, stride unbroken. Ninja gets in front and does a flip over and onto the abassador's back. He jerks hard and pulls the ambassador down to the ground where the two of them roll end over end before coming to a stop near the spike wall.

The alien ship flows forward, the walls rejoining the main body as a pseudopod lashes out and catches hold of the front of the ambassador, covering his head and upper body. The ambassador's legs kick and he digs some sort of newly bone spur from his ankle into the soft earth, trying to hold on.

The first is that of the ambassador next to a strange alien looking thing.

Alright so Hap, Eschuchador and Threnody head off one way, Golden Star and Ninja the other, both following their objective markers.

The Tv switches to a short commercial break as they go where they need to go. A man in a suit with brilliant white teeth advertises neuro-implants with the slogan "You'll never need to think for yourself again!"

After brief announcements from our sponsors, the footage returns, this time split between both teams.

HAP, Escuchador and Threnody are wandering through a busy downtown business sector, walking along the sidewalk between towering glass skyscrapers and men and women in formal business wear. They follow the marker into a coffee shop and politely push their way through stunned -and mildly indignant- patrons right up to the counter. There is a young, bored looking woman at the counter in an apron and cap. She is plain, somewhat attractive but unremarkable with brown hair, a round face and half lidded eyes.  She looks like she might be a college student working a part time job.  The trio looks from the marker up to the girl and back down. They hold the tracker up and it blinks the arrow before then blinking an image of a skull.

"Huh." The girl says, eyeing the marker and then you. "Finally showed up huh?"

Her face distorts, not into an alien visage but into one of rage. Not normal anger either, the sort of wide eyed horrible snarl that one would expect from a rabid dog. Her body curls in, head bowing, muscles twitching, breath a hiss.

"Took you long enough." She growls and looks back up at you, steam pouring from between clenched teeth and fire literally crackling across her fists.

Warning. Database match. Angie Holt, alias "Hot Head". Level 5 pyrokinetic. High civilian danger warning!



Meanwhile, Golden Star and Ninja have followed their marker far off into the suburbs. It leads to an unassuming cul-de-sac ringed by brightly painted homes; the multi-hue style reminiscent of the Indian heritage of the occupants. The marker leads them right up to the garage door of one of the homes. There are no cars in the drive but they can hear power tools within.

Ninja walks up to the garage door and knocks on it a few times, loud enough to be heard over the power tools. The sound inside the garage stops and a few moments later the door slowly rises with slight groan of metal and electric motor.  The man standing behind the door is massive; football player massive. Nothing special in the ranks of the Luchadors but among normal people he would be an Olympian: seven feet tall, heavily muscular in the bulging but undefined way of a champion weight lifter, with a chin like a granite block, skin the color of mahogany and about as tough looking,  and eyes lost under a heavy brow. He has to duck his head slightly when he steps through the door and out onto the drive.

"Can I help you?" he says, running a shop towel over dirty hands.

You check the marker and it is definitely pointing to him.

The kitchen staff scatters in terror as you lope in with a smoldering barista in your arms.  You get halfway to the freezer when you suddenly find yourself rather disoriented with a lot of debris in your teeth and  the wind whistling past. You blink and look around a moment. Hmm. Blue sky, sky scrapers blurring past beside you. Ground quickly retreating and a big plume of flame directly below you.

"You can fly?" You ask Hot Head, coming to the realization that she has literally rocketed you both through the ceiling.  She responds with an incomprehensible scream and then bursts into flame.

"Shall we dance? One second please."

Get the civilians out, pull the fire alarm. Not necessarily in that order.

You watch HAP go and then hear the roar and the smashing. You sigh, walk over to the wall and pull the fire alarm, calmly directing people out the front door before joining them. You can easily follow the smoke trail from the coffee shop up into the sky, up to the burning point a few hundred feet up.

Ninja circles around just to make sure that the thing is pointing at the man. It is.  He asks the man to come with them, while also asking him what he knows about aliens.  The man doesn't budge and his face remains impassive. After a moment he finally starts talking.

"The greatest predator a man will ever face is his past. It will always catch him.  Hmph.  There are families around here, good people. My wife and our children. Others.  I will not abandon this life I have made without a fight, but I would prefer not to do it here."

You pick up a manhole cover and hurl it up at the pyromanic. It sails past her and disappears into the distance, probably landing in the ocean. You hope.



Hot Head changes her course and swoops back down towards the group, riding an increasingly huge plume of flame. She slips between the buildings and charges straight down the road, flying only 10 or so feet above the ground. She holds her hands out to the side and the flame behind her grows even greater, expanding into a rushing wall of fire. Cars are yanked up into the air and tumble along the front of that wave of flame like pebbles in a wave.

HAP runs over to Threnody and gets into launch position, standing on Threnody's outstretched hands, ready to be thrown. Threnody plants his feet, flexes his muscles and...completely fumbles the throw, causing HAP to fly maybe 10 feet, do a lazy front flip and land on his feet with a rather disappointed look.

"Really?" He says, just before the wall of fire engulfs them.

Threnody takes a tumbling car to the face and gets punted back through a plate glass window into a bakery.

You decide that, rather than go and help your teammate, you're going to go over and get in the way of the alien spaceship that explicitly gave you a mission to fight a different person.

The coordinates...well no. I'd like to say you went to the coordinates provided but you have no way of finding that place so you just follow Golden Eagle's instructions. Its fairly easy, the burning buildings are pretty good indicators. The fight looks to be happening in an industrial park of some sort and you arrive just in time to see some sort of 12 foot lizard man get punted through a fuel tank and vanish in a massive explosion.  You're still shading your eyes from the blast when a little metal tendril comes slithering out from somewhere in the fireball and POOTs another objective marker straight into your face. This one has a bigger screen and a more brightly flashing arrow.

Sometime during your spin, the man turned to face you and caught your blow between two fingers. He tugs your hand up  with a flick of his wrist and you suddenly find yourself 50 feet above the ground, tumbling straight up into the sky at startling speed.



"Seriously, miss, it's rude to ignore opponents. Threnody is a good Lucha, you ought to pay a little more attention. At least try to keep him engaged in the match.

Keep her pinned! If I can adjust a bit, apply a sleeper hold, or one of those holds that will whittle away her HP. Trying to send her unconscious.

[3] You shift your grip, trying to grab at her throat but the best you can manage is to get a hand around her shoulders at about collar bone level. Its not a very stable hold but its a start.

"Never can guess where they're going next. Lovebirds..."

Jump over to building, team grab the pyro lady, and restrain her.

[4][1]
You take a running jump off the building and bound across rooftops and walls until you reach the building HAP and his date are currently thrashing. You smash in through a window and look around for where they might be. You're just about to ask some random office worker if he's seen a very angry lady around here when Hot Head, still dragging HAP behind her, punches through a dividing wall on a wave of flame and catches you by the throat. Together the giant flaming mess goes out through another window and Hot Head redirects  herself into a level flight, skimming past skyscrappers and grinding you against concrete and through hundreds of panes of plate glass.
[8]
As you're being dragged through another series of windows, your body catches a steel support beam. You stop dead and Hot Head gets whipped hard before she loses her grip on you. She and HAP go spinning off in a chaotic flight in the general direction of the nearest ocean.

You catch a cannon ball of refuse straight to the face  and it smashes across your chin, doing about as much damage as a dang water balloon.  You notices, as you slowly tumble back and right yourself, that you're not coming down as fast as you should be. You're drifting down like you're a plastic bag or something.  That's very odd.

You go spread eagle and use the resistance of the air to drift about in erratic patterns, weaving through the thrown clods of soil and garbage. A few clip you but none make solid enough contact to do any damage. The onslaught stops abruptly as you see your teammate suddenly arrive on the scene and divert the man's attention.

[12] You spin around his arm comically, rotating a few dozen times before suddenly slipping free and streaking off into the distance. Or at least you would have, had you not been still holding onto the cable. The cable had wrapped around the man's arm as you spun, so when you go flying he effectively acts as an anchor. You go about 20 feet and then the line snaps taunt. You stop and he gets jerked forward with amazing force, dragging him face first into the ground.


You land on your back and, after you realize that you're still alive, proceed to punch the air several times while making kungfu noises. You do this while still flat on your back.

You both drag her over and onto the sand and then proceed to cover her. And by that I mean you scoop handfuls of sand up and sort of pile them around her, forming a half inch or inch thick layer over most of her body, excluding her head.  After maybe 15 minutes you stand back and clap the sand off your hands with a smile. She wakes up a moment later and looks around, confused. Finally her eyes focus on the pair of you. You flash her a smile and a thumbs up.  Threnody nods sagely and whispers "Beach episodes bring everyone together."

Golden star spends his time doing various jojo poses and generally being as distracting as possible. It comes quite natural to him, he is very distracting in general so when he's actually putting effort into it, its hard to look away. Like a train wreck on fire crashing through a collection of disembodied boobs. I blame the fever for that analogy. Heh, ANALogy. Anywhoo, Golden star does his part, but Ninja can't quite work out how to wrap up this situation or this man in the cable. He grabs the cable end and runs around the man but instead of wrapping he just sort of drags the man around in a circle, forcing him to keep staggering around and keep himself vaguely facing you. Its not very useful but it does keep him so off balance he can't manage to counter attack.

Ninja gives the line some slack and then gives it a good pull, along with golden star. The line immediately uncoils from around the man's arm and the both end up stumbling back. They stumble back a good two steps before the third step is violently jerked out from under them. Their backwards momentum seems to have been multiplied several hundred times and sent them hurtling backwards as though fired out of a cannon. They also seem to be arcing upwards, in a reverse parabola, spiraling upwards into the sky.

Hot Head gets about 20% of the way through processing the subtext of that statement before Threnody shoves his hands into the sand, one at about her chest height and the other somewhere around her lower pelvis.

"We....have...to...go....DEEPER!" he mutters, failing to do literally anything but grope around blindly.

Hot Head's face turns red. It starts at her cheeks with a startled expression but very rapidly swells to cover the rest, veins throbbing at her temples. The sand on top of her turns into molten glass within an instant [6] and Threnody dives backwards, yelping and shaking hot globs of sand off before it can burn him.  Hot Head rises up on a cloud of fire and points one finger right at Threnody's face. Heat shimmers off the extended digit and a tiny point of white hot light flickers into existence right at the end of her finger nail.

"I'm going to cook your brain inside your skull and eat your fucking eyeballs." She hisses in a low and very serious voice.

Golden Star grabs hold of Ninja's back and Ninja, despite the extra weight and the awkward restriction, manages to right himself and get into position to land and...they just keep going. They're not picking up speed but they're just sort of flying through the air about eight feet above the ground, on a path towards empty space. Literally. It becomes immediately clear to Ninja that if they continue like this there's a good chance that they'll just fly far enough that the earth's surface curves out from under them and they end up in orbit...or maybe just fly off into the sun.

"Pocket sand!" Threnody shouts. Despite this he has no sand in his pockets. Instead he decides to throw some sand that is conveniently lying around on the beach. Of course since he has super human strength he ends up catapulting a cinderblock sized wad of sand directly into the back of Hot Head's hot head. She gets whipped forward, caught off guard by the blow, and straight into Hap's arms as he continues to gesture- in a way I'm sure he thinks is quite convincing- and explain that being a prisoner isn't so bad.  As she lands against him, the objective marker looses itself from his bag and promptly leaps out onto her. It stretches to form metallic leg and arm shackles, effectively hogtying her in place.

Golden Star concludes that Ninja's plan is reasonable and together they both spread out, holding hands and hooking feet together, to form a large glider sort of configuration, like you would expect from skydivers. They twist and contort, finding out quickly that despite the momentum given to them they can still effect their trajectory.  They effect it straight into the concrete wall of a convenience store. They slap into it in a belly flop, pressed flat by a seemingly undaunted momentum that holds them against the concrete like a stream of wind. Then, after a moment, the momentum fades and they drop to the ground. Ninja lands Gracefully on his feet and Golden Star lands on his butt with an oof (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9BBAlhHvJw).

Dang, forgot Acclaim again. +5 to Threnody. +1 to Hap. +2 to Golden and Ninja.


Hap rests Hot Head on his shoulder, careful about where he puts his hands as he positions her. No need to give the lucha tabloids something to put on the front page. Threnody comes to his side and the two of them walk off down the beach, looking for a keychain vendor.

"Hey HAP?"

"Yes, Old chum?"

"Have you ever wanted to own a woman?" Threnody says, and then immediately furrows his brow and looks down at the sand, as though surprised by the words that came out of his mouth.

HAP blinks, his face blank.

"What I mean is that we could keep her for ourselves." Threnody tries again.

The pair and their charge reach one of those wooden walls with holes cut in it. It has a scene of a muscular man, a nubile woman, and a happy child all in swimwear painted on the front. HAP, not taking his blank face off Threnody, gestures to a nearby man- a photo vendor- and holds one finger up. The group walks behind the wall and sticks their heads through, HAP in the father position, Threnody in the Wife, and Hot Head in the Daughter.

"I..." Threnody starts again, stops, thinks, and then restarts, "Are we sure that giving her to the alien is the right thing to do?"

"It is a reasonable question. In truth we know little-" HAP cuts himself off and they all smile (HAP holds the corner's of Hot Head's mouth open in a clearly forced grin) as the picture is taken, "-about that alien's origins or plan."

"Yeah, it seemed all on board for dismembering that other guy. It might be an alien meat grinder or something. And while she's not my favorite person", he rubs his burns as he says it, "I don't really feel comfortable handing her off to die."

"How chivalrous of you." Hap says, taking the little plastic frame from the vendor and admiring the image inside for a moment before handing the man a Saguaro cactus as payment. "But what if this alien fella is not inclined to allow you to keep Ms. Hot Head in our custody?"

Threnody shrugs. "Guess we might have to fight it?"

HAP Flexes his own sore, burnt body and sighs. "I'd prefer not to have to do that. For multiple reasons, you understand." He sets his jaw in thought. " We should ask the others.  I wonder where..."

As though on cue Ninja and Golden Star slide in across the sand, throwing up waves of grit as they grind to a halt.

"Ah, there you are!" HAP says, beaming, "Defeated your own villain as well?"

Ninja says nothing, as is his want, and Golden Star looks nervously over his shoulder. "Not...exactly."

Uncharacteristically brusque, HAP replies: "You mind your own business, Golden Star. Threnody and I handled This one, Threnody and I will make our decision. If anyone else can choose for her, it will be El Ultimo. Are you El Ultimo?"

Unless Threnody disagrees, HAP will call for Golden Eagle to come pick up our charge, and will wait with her until her fate is decided. Only then will he accompany the others to visit the other guy.

Turning to Threnody, HAP proclaims solemnly: "She was a worthy adversary, my friend. She threw soooo many random objects at us. She had some great one liners too, and quite a flair for the dramatic. I do believe she deserves our respect, and I intend to give it.

Oh shoot! I was gonna give her that cactus, too, but we traded it for the pictures!"

You call Golden Eagle and tell it to send a shuttle down to pick up Hot Head.  Golden Eagle sends a shuttle but while its in route, the AI asks you if you're sure you'd like to do this. It may cause issues with the relationship with that friendly alien murder ship. You wait for the ship to land, throwing up tons of sand and scaring off beach goers as it does,  and place the fugitive inside.

"If the ship has issues with our conduct we'll work it out. We are both fighters for justice, after all."

You're closing the door to the shuttle when you notice something.

"Golden star, you said that this opponent of yours manipulated gravity, right?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"Well I ask because I see something there." You point up at the sky and a twinkle of metal. "I think it might be a bus.  And I think it might be flying at us. Does that sound like something he would do?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

The shuttle takes off in a burst of sand and a scream of engines, tearing off into the sky and leaving a quickly fading blue glow behind. As soon as its away, HAP takes a quick look around, searching for any civie looky-loos who might be in danger. Seeing that the closest civilian is several hundred feet away, he decides on a particularly heroic action. He, along with everyone else, runs away.  Golden star, still powering up his readiness, goes running off in an erratic zig-zag, body still contorted in effort despite his wildly flailing legs.  Threnody follows along behind HAP, and HAP picks Ninja up like a cardboard standee and sprints away.

The Bus lands not with the screeching smash of destroyed metal and a noisy crumple, as they expected. Instead it slams into the ground as though it were a solid block of metal and throws up a huge cloud of sand as it sinks several feet into the beach. It grinds to a halt standing straight up out of the sand. The muscular man from before, Ninja and Golden Star's target, stands on top of it. He looks down at at the luchas and the beach, scanning his eyes around the distant ring of gathering civilians.  He licks his lips, a gesture of either nervousness or thought, and then slams his foot down on the bus. A visible ripple spreads through the bus, traveling down it like a wave and into the sand. The wave only grows once it hits the sand, like the ripple of a stone dropped into a pond, spreading out in all directions. It passes the Luchas gently, not even so much as unbalancing them, but when it reaches those distant civilians it sends them all toppling or scrambling to stay on their feet. As it passes the majority of them- the illusion of being a safe distance from the impending fight broken- start running in the opposite direction.

"There." The man says, watching them go, "That should give us more room." He turns his focus back to the Luchas and takes a deep breath. "No more running. We finish this here, one way or another. " He claps his hands, a sound like a gunshot, and the air wavers around him.

Somehow you end up standing on your head, doing a mimed line dance while yodeling. The crowd seems exactly as confused as you as to how things ended up like this. 

Look at the sky. Any birds? Any planes? Any alien ships?

You both wait maybe, oh, two minutes, looking off in the direction of the city. You only turn around when you become aware of a dull hum behind you. The alien ship, splattered in some kind of green fluid, is hovering just above the sand.  It extrudes a pod that forms into a screen and displays the face of the man you just took into custody and a question mark.

I'm not posting HAP's sheet while I'm in transit, unless an event happens (or the GM grumbles at me). HAP will chat with the new prisoner on the way up. He's interested in the guy's story, but not focused on it. If anything, HAP will more likely babble about his and Threnody's "Date" with HotHead.
You ask the guy his story. He starts laying out some sort of galactic history, talking about wars and rebellions, his part in a resistance movement, so on and so forth. You half listen until he pauses dramatically for a moment and then you interrupt him and ask about Hothead and what kind of flowers  she likes.  The man furrows his brow in evident confusion.

It's unique appearance not only attracts more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic and noncombat actions, but also increases acclaim won from teamwork and group achievements, always slightly more than what the rest gets."
So every time the whole team gains Acclaim, Golden Star gets a small bonus too.

The briefing this time is carried out entirely By Golden Eagle and is mostly maps and terse explanations.  She shows a map of Paris and then illuminates several areas where people have vanished, overlaying images of the people in question onto the map. She explains that these areas all have major entrances into the catacombs. Furthermore, a tour group of 20 people all vanished during a tour of the catacombs, which resulted in their closure. They've sent a few police squads in but most found nothing, and one didn't return. The job is very simple: Go in, save the people, Find out what is kidnapping them and stop it. With as little collateral damage to the historical site as possible, of course.

The only clues they've found so far are a set of extremely large hoof prints and evidence of a struggle in which one of the combatants was superhumanly strong. There's no blood or other signs that the people were killed though.

When they drop you off its night time, maybe 11pm, the street is deserted but well lit by street lights with the old, tightly packed buildings dating back hundreds of years lining the street on either side. The thing you're interested in is right in front of you, an iron gate built into a little concrete wall thats embedded in a hill: The entrance to the catacombs.

The group, looking like a medieval caravan of brain damaged jesters, wanders into the catacombs.  And for a long while thats all they do: wander mostly aimlessly through tunnels. Eventually however, they find a clue: A hoof print in some mud that got down here somehow. There's another in front of it and it leads off into a large round room with niches for bodies arrayed around. You see a figure in there; 10 feet tall and muscular, Bipedal and somewhat humanoid, but not human.

Ninja takes up position on the ceiling as Hap and Threnody helpfully shove a torch into Golden Star's hand and then shove the rest of him out into the room. As he stumbles in, Threnody leans out and starts playing some music on his trumpet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzPpWInAiOg). 

The creature turns around in response to the noise and  comes into the light of the torch. Its actually bigger than it looks; its standing hunched forward, the massive muscles of its back and shoulders weighing it down. Its a tawny brown color, covered in a thin coat of hair that does little to hide the pronounced muscles and veins. Its huge upper body and arms are emphasized by a thin waist and huge, digitigrade legs that give it an exaggerated hourglass shape. Its feet end in hooves which send up sparks as they strike the stone floor. Its hands look human, though the digits are too thick and wide, with only three fingers and a thumb. Its neck and head are those of a Shire horse, with its mane done up in an almost nordic looking braid.  His (yes his, He's not wearing any clothing so this is rather obvious) entire body is visibly warm, with small curls of steam rising from his skin and coming out in great huffing breaths.

Golden Star skips back away from the horseman as the creature steps forward and attempts to grab Golden Star's face.

Pass my acclaim gain to Threnody and Graceful Ninja. 2 each. Then Carry the unconscious horse out to the surface for transport to the Fist of Justice. Then return to the group, going 'kitty kitty kitty,' the whole way,

"Nobody told me we were gonna brush spiders too! I only brought grooming items for kitties!"

Ninja, Rosa, and Hero all carry the horse man out so that he can be transported. Ninja and Rosa carefully avoid touching Hero, as he is still completely covered in spiders.

The horse had nothing of value by the way. I mean, He was naked so its not like he could hide much.

Check to see if the horse has any belongings. Also check for ways out of the room.

"HERO, YOU HAVE SPIDERS IN YOUR EYES. YOU SHOULD BRUSH THEM OFF." Threnody then turns down the boombox.

Two ways, left and right. The left path has hoof prints so its how the horseman got here.

Take a photo of myself standing heroically next to the defeated horseman. Prepare the ball of thread to not get lost if we try to return here and lead the rest of the group onwards!

You get a selfie with the horseman before he gets dragged off and prepare to lead the group forward. However, after an extended speech about being valiant and heroic and generally Lucha-like, you turn around to find no one but Threnody around. He waves.

Golden Star sees whats happening and attempts to run for it. But Threnody knows the proper way to motivate a man and proceeds to grab Golden star by the testicles and drag him down the right hand path. Threnody hums a rather dreary tune but its rather drowned out by Golden Star's screams and squeals.

The team trots off in the opposite direction, following Golden Star who is following a ball of yarn he's holding out at arm's length. As they trek through the tunnels, following hoofprints, Rosa attempts to talk to a spider.
[8] She finds out it talks in a tiny french dialect and ends up in a conversation about how British spiders are jerks.

After a few minutes the hoofprints lead to a large room; its two stories with the path leading out onto the circular walkway that goes around a large open room on the lower level. Down there are 3 more of the horsemen in different colors. The walls are completely covered in some sort of tan colored goo and you can see humans entombed in the goo, heads poking out.

You carefully remove each entombed human, cutting them down with the strings from the cello you're carrying in your mysterious hammer space pockets. You notice that they are looking quite ill, with swollen stomachs and pale skin. You worry that there might be something very wrong with them, so you carry them out first. You reach the ship and load them on, filling it up and sending it on its way before returning and dragging the horsemen out and placing them on another ship.

This done you have several paths to choose from, so you take the one to the...that one. Its the one with the most horse slime. The further you get along it the more the rooms have been changed; eventually the quaint stone and bone of the catacombs is entirely replaced with strange horsegoo walls and structures. You come across another chamber like the one before, but this one lacks any humans or horses. Instead there are large ovoid things along the floor, walls and ceiling. Easily 50 or 60 of them. They look to be made from the same horsegoo

Name: The Darkness
Description: A solid black mask which absorbs all light. Its wearer appears hazy and unclear unless under direct light.
Gimmick: Dark Attunement: Empowered by darkness. When in shadows or unlit areas, The Darkness has night vision, makes no sound, and can teleport between shadows at will. When in completely unlit areas, The Darkness gains +1 to Power and Speed. (5?)
Weakness: Light Discord: Weakened by the light. When under direct light, whether natural or artificial, all of The Darkness's stats are lowered to 1 and The Darkness cannot use Lights Out. Direct midday sunlight, or any light of similar intensity will slowly cause damage. The Darkness takes massive damage from any light-based attacks, like lasers or flashbangs. (3-4?)
Signature: Lights Out: Upon use, all light sources within 15 meters are snuffed out, switched off, covered up, or otherwise rendered no longer luminescent. Causes no permanent damage, as fires can simply be relit and electric lights switched back on. Any supernatural light source is dimmed, but returns to full luminosity after a few seconds. Will not, under any circumstances, extinguish the sun. In case that was unclear. (2?)

Name: The Darkness
Description: A solid black mask which absorbs all light. Its wearer appears hazy and unclear unless under direct light.
Gimmick: Dark Attunement: Empowered by darkness. When in shadows or unlit areas, The Darkness has night vision, makes no sound, and can teleport between shadows at will. When in completely unlit areas, The Darkness gains +1 to Power and Speed. (5?)
Weakness: Light Discord: Weakened by the light. When under direct light, whether natural or artificial, all of The Darkness's stats are lowered to 1 and The Darkness cannot use Lights Out. Direct midday sunlight, or any light of similar intensity will slowly cause damage. The Darkness takes massive damage from any light-based attacks, like lasers or flashbangs. (3-4?)
Signature: Lights Out: Upon use, all light sources within 15 meters are snuffed out, switched off, covered up, or otherwise rendered no longer luminescent. Causes no permanent damage, as fires can simply be relit and electric lights switched back on. Any supernatural light source is dimmed, but returns to full luminosity after a few seconds. Will not, under any circumstances, extinguish the sun. In case that was unclear. (2?)


Feel free to call me edgy.

Hi Edgy, I'm dad.


"Uh, I got some information from a little friend of mine, and I kinda think someone should keep an eye on them. Maybe put them into high security. I'll go back and make sure they don't... Wig out. She then slinks back to the ship to make sure these people don't hatch like a bunch of Xenomorphs. She even drags some scientific equipment into their holding location (which she makes sure is secure) to see if she can't analyze these were-horse spawn, whip up a cure or something.
Simplified: Put rescued humans into a secure location, begin scientific analysis on their condition.

Threnody, diligent lucha that he is, already carried them outside and put them in a ship.


Regain focus. Retroactively be loudly screaming due to terrible wounds and extreme pain.

Stop screaming and tend to my wounds. Once that's done, start bragging to the rescued humans about how I got these wounds by bravely fighting against the horse beasts.

You regain [1] 100 life.
You then preach your greatness to the empty space where people used to be.

Don the tutu. Prepare the trumpet. And play a funeral song to the chamber. It's time to fight.

You don the tutu, you play a funeral song which....well its gotta be taps right? Is there another funeral song on a trumpet? I guess any song at a funeral is a funeral song so...we'll assume you're actually playing something completely inappropriate.

The eggs don't seem to mind.

Try to find foes to cut on this edge.

Play Maracas and get "The Darkness" to open up some of the pods. If any enemies emerge, maracas them the great aggresion.

Also do a mountain dew ad. The sponsors are thirsty.
