The New Vanguard! Miss Victory issue #2 Fighting for the Flag... AND her life!!!

The woman considers Miss V's words and sighs. "I'm not cut out for this. I thought I'd earn some money but every job led to more bother until the Ultrahumans caught us breaking into a vault. The others were taken down but I surrendered. I knew if I used my FULL power I'd kill someone and whatever my folks owed on the farm wasn't worth that."

She sighed and the glow vanished. "Your friend will be ok. I stunned her with my radiation but there will be no lasting effects. When I was sent to jail my pa sold everything he had to pay the legal fees and the bank foreclosed, taking our land. So I screwed up and here I am, paying for my mistakes while my folks live with the shame and in poverty."

She looked up. "I... if you can get me out of here I promise to turn over a new leaf! There must be something I can do to help my folks with my powers!"

Outside the door were voices. Someone was just about to come in!

"Try to wake up Magna Girl," Miss Victory hissed, looking around for anything she could use as a weapon - bleach, a pipe wrench, vinegar or anything that would help her with her martial arts skills to take one whoever opened the door, she wanted to avoid using her powers more than she had already done, to keep from being tracked by the system.

ooc: Her points remain the same.

Miss Victory grabs a container of bleach and figures unless someone was ready for it that it would impair their vision whilst she socked em in the jaw!

Irradiator looked about and sniffed in various containers, finding one that smelled awful. Some very powerful cleaning substance no doubt.

She waved that under Magma Girls nose until she started to stir.

The door handle clicked and the door started to open when...

"Hey! The boss called. There's trouble upstairs. Some super... one of the ULTRAHUMANS is in here and he's cornered! We need ta get up there and give him a kickin! He's managed to get in here so there must be a way out! The boss reckons anyone who figures it out or beats it outta him gets a cool $20 Mill when we get outta here!"

"$20 Mill? Who's he tryin ta kid?"

"Huh, you don't know? Ramraider is the only one to break into Fort Knox and is the reason they beefed the place up! Don't mess with him man, he's badass!"

"Huh I don't think... ok he is badass. Did he really kill that West Coast Centurion? Whassername?" The voices are fading away...

Magma Girl wakes "Wha! Miss Victory! She's... oh she's not green anymore. Uhhh my head." she groans. She's incredibly unsteady on her feet and needs help to move (OOC Body 0 so on the edge of awake/KO'd)

Irradiator looks up at Miss Victory. "You heard them. If they get to that hero first they'll give him the beating of his life! EVERYONE will be homing in on him! Maybe... maybe if they figure the way out we can sneak out and get away..."

"Are you kidding?" said Magma Girl, drunkenly slurring her words. "They'll make anyone who wants out have to pay... or to work for them..."

Miss Victory peered out into the corridor. The coast was clear.

For now.

ooc: Will her Medicine skill help to bring Magma Girl up to higher Body or is this something that will take time? If it is like less than 15 minutes or so, then will do that. Otherwise ...

"Who has a coin? Heads, we go up and help that nice superhero who has probably come to save us. Tails, we keep going down to the main office and try to reactivate the power dampeners for the whole place. Anybody?"

OOC To help another character recover you can pay a 15HP fee for 'Desperation Recovery' that grants a free recovery check (rather than waiting an hour). Medicine would help if the character could have bed rest and if they'd taken damage from killing combat etc, but doesn't grant a recovery check faster than the hour...

"Well gee I seem to have left my wallet at home. " said Irradiator.

"The last time I had money the bank took it off me. " she added with a scowl. "We can carry her along I guess. I'm pretty strong and from the feels of it, you are too! I thought I was invulnerable! I mean, bullets, bombs, fire, cold... my force field protects me from it all but you just stepped straight up and socked me in the mouth!" She chuckles, the first time Miss Victory had seen her smile.

"If you help me out of here I WILL keep my promise and go straight, and hopefully find some other way to help get my folks farm back. There HAS to be a way to use my powers for good AND earn a living!"

Magma Girl mumbled "I'm ok now!", got up, took a step and fell face first onto the floor. After a moment she gurgled "I'm alright! Uhhhh."

"I think the more the merrier," Miss Victory says brightly, "so let's go try to get hel ... er ... help out that hero who is in over his or her head."

actions: back up the stairs, a little more openly as crooks would be looking for one heroine dressed like a prisoner not 3 female prisoners. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

OOC Miss Victory HP 64 after paying 15HP for desperation recovery for Magma Girl.

Magma Girl Recovery Body 6 + Roll(2d12)+0: 2,8,+0 Total:10 (16) vs
OV0 + Roll(2d12)+0: 2,7,+0 Total:9

+4 (to 10) EV vs RV0=Full Body

Magma Girl responds well to the wafting of air in her face and sniffing of foul substances and soon recovers.

The trio, dressed as prisoners, leave the room. Irradiator is the most nervous with Magma Girl not much better. They lead the way through the corridors which are maze like to Miss Victory. In reality the levels are laid out like wheels with multiple spokes as corridors and arrayed one on top of the next for a total of 9 levels with the top being an entrance the bottom being the main control room for the entire prison.

As they approach the end of a corridor to where Magma Girl states the stairs are the group see a small group (five) of criminals laughing, joking and smoking as they stand guard at the stairwell door.

One of them nudges another and they take notice of the three women as they approach. One of the five is a woman, though very 'mannish' and the rest are men, including one with Blue skin. Two are heavily muscled though the more dangerous ones could often be the average/slightly built prisoners. This place was dangerous, with every single inmate possessing some super power or even extreme level of skill that could mean they are dangerous opponents!

"They've seen us. We can't turn around without alerting them." muttered Irradiator. She started to glow slightly green, a sign she was nervous. Magma Girl muttered "I don't know all of them but one of them is Blackrock. He has a killer rep. He can blind you and beat you to a pulp whilst you can't see what you're doing!" she was referring to one of the hulking prisoners.

The trio were still some distance away (about 30 feet) with the prisoners guarding the stairs straightening up and taking an interest in the newcomers.

"Talk our way out or...?" asked Magma Girl.

OOC What points are you using for Miss Victory? She hasn't done too much yet but I'm mindful of the hour long limitation on her powers... May have to start posting a timer of sorts with every response... Unless you have another suggestion.

ooc: Currently, this is her default setting - +7 to Dex to make 17, +7 to Body to make 13, +9 to Str to make 15

"Who is someone that they would back down from," Miss Victory mutters behind the two girls. "Someone we can say has us needing to go through that door? We will bluff our way through with that, if we can."

Once she gets an answer, she steps in front of the other two, moving confidently up to the gang of crooks and sneers.

"Out of our way, unless you want us to tell "INSERT NAME HERE" that you prevented us from doing the tasks assigned to us!"

Charisma added to that.

"Mindshark for starters. He has a number of mentalists working for him and there are more and more prisoners falling under his sway, literally!" muttered Magma Girl.

Miss Victory strode up confidently and said her piece.

OOC infl 8 + Roll(6d12)+0: 9,7,8,8,12,2,+0 Total:16 DOUBLE plus Roll(2d12)+0: 11,6,+0 Total:33 (41) vs

"Hmmm. Much as I ain't scared o no one, we better hold these three here an not do anythin hasty till they been checked out. Get inn that office back there an call down ta the central control place. Ask fer Mindshark an get him ta confirm." growled Blackrock. He eyed the women hungrily but leaned back against the wall, arms crossed. "If ya story checks out, fine, ya can go." he said as one of the other Prisoners (a male) wanders off to check out the story.

"If not? Well then, you're all mine." he said, eyes completely black and sinister looking.

"Wait over there. Try anythin an yer ass'll get kicked." he growled while pointing to a spot ten feet away on the other side of the corridor. The other prisoners looked disappointed but Blackrock clearly wasn't one to mess with.

"What do we do?" hissed Magma Girl. "Blackrock has a badass rep! The others probably aren't pushovers! Once they check out the story we'll be taken back for sure!"

"I'm not going back." said Irradiator, resolute. "No way no how." she said, her eyes flashing green. "There's three of us, four of them. If we take down Blackrock the others will be weaker."

"Hey! What you talkin bout there?" shouted the tall shaven headed woman. She snarled and showed a couple of grey/silver teeth.

"We're just wondering what Mindshark will do to us if we're delayed. And what he'll do to you!" said Irradiator, trying to sound more bold than she was.

Miss Victory glanced down the corridor. The messenger was almost out of sight due to the corridors curve. How long did they have before they were rumbled?

"All three of us hit Blackrock on my signal," Miss Victory whispered to the other two girls.

She then walks up to Blackrock, waving to the other two to flank her, and sneers at him while keeping an eye on the messenger.  She wants to wait until he is around the corner before beginning their attack.  "As if we would listen to you," she says in disgust, not really feigned, "we know exactly what we need to do and we don't need and won't let anyone stop us from doing what we need to do.  So get out of our way before we make you get out of our way!"

ooc:  That should be long enough to for the one guy to get around the corner and not see and maybe not hear as well, the beginning of the fight.  If not, she will say something else along those lines.  Then she signals the attack, group attack on Blackrock.

"Punch Him!" being her brilliant signal to the other two girls.

Martial Arts for attack, Acrobatics for Defense.

Miss Victory STATS: +7 to Dex to make 17, +9 to Str to make 15, +7 to Body to make 13,

The villain snarled and raised arms to block the blows whilst the others gaped and made ready their own response!

OOC This might be Miss Victorys toughest fight yet! Blackrock is Class 4...

Two extra dice on attack and defence for Miss V.

Blackrock laughed as the two women landed blows but the glowing green fist left a green stamp on his chin... and started fizzing!

"What? What's this? WHAT'S... ARRGGGGGHHHHH!!!"

Magma Girl thrust a hand at Blackrock and screamed "BURN!!!"

BLACKROCK is pummelled and BLASTED, down and OUT!

OOC Which is somewhat of a surprise. One on one I think he'd have battered Superman, for instance...

Blackrock is downed but the green glow on his face is spreading!

The two other prisoners gape but leap to the fight!

OOC I'll just roll 1 die for good guys, one for bad.

"You next," Miss Victory says, pointing to prisoner #2, so the other girls know who to attack next. "Victory Punch!"

Finally, she was starting to win again. Even her upbeat personality was starting to take a beating and it felt good to think she was just going to continue to lose and lose and lose. She would have to see what she could do for Magma Girl and Irradiator when this was all over. Doc would be able to help with that, he had a battery of lawyers who helped with all his charitable organizations including helping folks in jail who might have not received a fair trial.

actions: Drop Body 2 points to 11 and raise Str 2 points to 17. Then punch #2.

Prisoner #2 on 8/10 Body

Irradiator tries to go a little easier than she did on Blackrock and doesn't use Disintegration this time...

OOC Dex 8 + Roll(2d12)+0: 6,3,+0 Total:9 (17) vs
Ov11 + Roll(2d12)+0: 4,9,+0 Total:13 (24) MISS

Unfortunately she swings wide!

"Blast!" she calls out.

Magma Girl is transfixed by the green spreading glow on Blackrock and is about to ask what's going on until she realises they are in a fight! Thrusting a hand at Prisoner #2 (OOC Laserdeath will do...)

Instead the prisoners shouts out "We need to raise the alarm! Go, run!" he shouts at Prisoner #1

"I ain't runnin from wimmin!" snarls the other prisoner.

OOC Prisoner #2 (Laserdeath) aims at Irradiator and goes for a DEVASTATING ATTACK!

+7 (to 21) vs RV20 - 12 DA (8)= 13 Damage. Irradiator goes down and is DYING!

With a mighty blast the prisoner strikes Irradiator point blank and sends her flying! She bounces off the impenetrable corridors like a rag doll and lands awkwardly, legs and arms in a tangle. She isn't moving.

"No!" cried Magma Girl. "NOOOO!!!" she screams and blasts at Prisoner #2

OOC She goes for a devastating attack herself!

EV20 vs RV20 -12 DA (8)=12 Damage. Prisoner #2 goes down!

With a flash of light and a scream Prisoner #2 goes down wailing "I'm BURNING UP!"

Prisoner #1 sees the odds/tide have shifted yet again... if he can just level them he might get out of this! Snarling, he seems to instantly bulk up with knotted muscle and he glances down. "First time in ages I used my FULL power an haven't fallen through the floor!" he laughs, then takes a swing at Magma Girl...

OOC he goes for Magma Girl...

Remember to call out:

How many dice for attack (that will determine how many left for defence) and whether you want to normal hit, crit blow (hard) or dev attack (hardest!)

Miss V can split dice two for attack/2 for defence as a default every time if you want.

Drop Body for 2 more for Body of 9, Plus 2 more to strength for Str of 19, Dex stays at 17. Divide dice 2/2 attack/defense


Going for Deves Attack.

Determined, skilful and powerful, Miss Victory pressed on, hammering at the brute who towered over her and virtually filled the corridor with heavier than lead super dense muscles! He was grinning! Huh, soon wipe that off his ugly mug...

Miss V then Magma Girl to go then this blockhead. He isn;t a great fighter (3 Dex) but he's proving hard to put down... and the longer this goes on...

do the same thing again, the dice can't keep hating me.

OOC Well, it's more of a case of the dice loving the bad guy than hating you, but you're right, they can't keep like this...

As an aside, for last round: Disintegration 23 + Roll(2d12)+0: 9,10,+0 Total:19 (42) vs Body 12+ Roll(2d12)+0: 5,2,+0 Total:7 (19) HIT +7 (to 30) vs RV12=18 Damage. That does it. Blackrock dies and his body is disintegrated.

Before everyone's' eyes the green glow on Blackrocks body expands to cover his chest, arms, legs, head... and he glows brighter and brighter... then VANISHES! Blackrock has been erased from existence!

"He's... he's gone!" spluttered Magma Girl.

Miss Victory didn't let that distract her and levelled a punch at the blocky villain filling the corridor and preventing them from getting to the stairs!

OOC

Miss V Stats: Dex 17 (7) Str 19 (13) Body 9 (3) (additions in brackets)

+1 EV (to 20) vs RV22 -12 (DA) (10)=10 Damage. Prisoner #1 is FINALLY down

The Prisoners great head snaps back and he topples backwards, transforming into a 'merely' overmuscled weight trainer/gym bunny.

Magma Girl moves over and gives him a nudge. He doesn't stir. "Phew! Did you see what happened to Blackrock? She killed him!" she says, clearly flustered. "Do we leave her or bring her along?" The doorway leading to the stairwell beckoned and now distant shouts could be heard...

"Let me check on her," Miss Victory says quickly. She then moves to the woman and uses her Medical Skills to determine how bad she is [since she doesn't know she is dying yet] and begins any First Aid that might be possible. Also will determine if she can save her here or we need to retreat back to one of the med bays or go to a med bay on this level they are trying to get into to save her life. The floors should be laid out somewhat similarly so such places should be in the same places - cheaper to lay pipe and wire that way than every floor being different.

Miss Victory slipped into her 'Doctor' mode...

OOC ok killing combat is a really tricky thing in the DC Heroes game. The OV/RV to this check is 13/13 which is the total damage to her Body condition. For Miss Victory with 8 Int/Will this is going to be very, very challenging to overcome. You get an extra two dice from Medicine but even with a double you will have to roll high enough to overcome that whopping RV. For instance just to succeed with 1 RAP (which is hardly worth it as in 8 seconds time you'll need another check) you will have to exceed the OVT (Opposing Value Total) by 16 which is very unlikely. Let's see what happens.

AV8 + 2D Medicine + Roll(4d12)+0: 10,3,8,9,+0 Total:19 (27) vs
OV13 + Roll(2d12)+0: 6,3,+0 Total:9 (22)

+3 EV (to 11) vs Rv13=0 RAPs. Didn't get close to making a dent in it.

As I thought, the extent of Irradiators injuries may be beyond the use of First Aid. She will probably require emergency surgery by a world class surgeon. There may be someone in here who can do that but they are probably a prisoner on the lowest level...

With her hands covered in blood to try and stem the bleeding Miss Victory was exasperated. She could keep trying to save her but the fact was she was a skilled Doctor. She would need to be a world class surgeon or have a superhuman ability to heal injuries... which in a prison of over a hundred was likely someone would have in this place, though not necessarily on this level.

"She's still bleeding." said Magma Girl. "Is she ... is... is she going to die?" she said, lip trembling.

In Miss Victorys professional opinion there were serious internal injuries and despite being superhuman, Irradiator would die within 2 hours. An ordinary person would already be dead...

Wait! I still have Damage Transference among those mental powers, yes? Will that work?

let's add 3 dice to the attempt.

OOC Miss Victory HP 43

Miss V Int 8 + Roll(5d12)+0: 8,8,7,11,5,+0 Total:16 DOUBLE plus Roll(2d12)+0: 5,6,+0 Total:27 (35) vs
OV8 + Roll(2d12)+0: 8,11,+0 Total:19 (27)

+4 EV (to 12) vs 8RV= 4 RAPs.

Damage Transference of 4APs takes 1 minute (4APs) of time to use (it's a weird thing in the book and has been there since 1st Edition). It 'attacks' Miss V in return...

AV4 + Roll(2d12)+0: 5,6,+0 Total:11 (15) vs
OV8 + Roll(2d12)+0: 12,11,+0 Total:23 (31) No damage

Irradiator is restored to Body 1/10 but is still dying and in 8APs (15 minutes) will lose 1 body again.

With time ticking away the single use power takes effect and Mind Maidens presence slides away once more into the ether.

"Hurry!" said Magma Girl. The pair had dragged Irradiator into a cell off the corridor and she now stood at the doorway. "They haven't seen us yet but I can hear doors slamming! They are checking all the cells! There are a lot of them!" She'd dragged the bodies of the prone prisoners into the same cell and was keeping an eye on them.

Miss Victory concentrated. She wasn't sure of whether she was using the power correctly as it wasn't her power, but could see Irradiators skin colour improving slightly from a pale sheen to a pale... non sheen. She was still dying, still in a bad way but...

"Uhhhh... I don't feel so good." she mumbled and tried to get up. Magma Girl hissed "She's alive!"

Miss Victory leaned back. Whatever the power was supposed to do, it hadn't 'fixed' her but had restored consciousness so that was a good thing.

Magma Girl turned. "What took so long! They are in our corridor and will find us when they've finished looking in all the cells! I count... four... no .. five!" she hissed.

Irradiator sat up. "I'm ready to fight! What ha... oh. What happened to Blackrock?"

Magma Girl glanced at Miss Victory. "Never mind that..." she said. "We need to get out of here!" she hissed. She changed into living lava...

"You need serious medical treatment, Irradiator, unless you can somehow regenerate," Miss Victory says quickly.  "I've temporarily stopped the bleeding but that's all I've done.  You will start bleeding to death very soon if we don't get you that help."

"Magma Girl, stop panicking.  Let's think.  Grab these guys and ... er ... sit them up and sit in their laps.  Let's make it look like we are making ... UGH! ... out with them.  Have them face away from the door."

"You rest, Irradiator, try to not move."

She grabs the biggest thug, plops him on the edge of the bunk facing away from the door, so she is the one facing the door.  She puts one of his arms over her shoulder and the other around her waist and leans his head against her neck, so it looks like he is necking her.  And hopes for the best.

Magma Girl looked horrified but she and Miss Victory gathered the downed prisoners and made like they were 'making out'.

"Look convincing!" hissed Irradiator to Magma Girl. "What are you? A nun?"

Magma Girl, powered down, glowered and held the unconscious thug just off her chest. Miss Victory preferred the on top pose but knew this would be a long shot.

The door opened to sounds of moaning and gyrating as a female prisoner looked in. "Hey you lot! What's going on? Some kind of gangbang? Where's Blackrock? He was in charge of security here! Masterforce will have your hides if you are caught napping!"
