Albright Institute: [IC: 6]: Playing Through

[Arkrite]

Richard Dunn: Diamond
HP: 1 Condition: Damage -5, Fatigued

Richard snaps his fingers as a thought occurs to him. The result is akin to a gunshot, and he promptly cringes and mumbles, "Sorry. Sorry."

"I just remembered, I think Curt was telling me that there's something called the Underbelly, basically Maintenance tunnels under the entire school," He looks at the others, "If I was trying to sneak past these guy it'd probably be the best bet..."

He frowns, "Except we haven't seen any of the Psions either so there's a chance they got to it too... either way, maybe we should get down there and see if anybody there..."

He coughs, suddenly bashful, "Except I don't know how to get down there."

He looks at Miku, the new girl, then over to Keshia. She was the one at the Institute longest, maybe she'd know.

IC Keisha HP 1, condition fine

"Hmmm. I think there might be an entrance close by." she grinned sheepishly. "Remember that time I ah pranked Sloth? One of the teachers caught me red-handed and landed me with detention. I had to help the custodian as part of my punishment, so I got up close and personal with the tunnel system." she explained as she searched the area. "I just hope I can remember where the entrance is... Ah-ha." she said, going to what looked like a blank wall and pressing a particular tile, it depressed into the wall, which in turn activated the concealed door, revealing a passage. "There you are...."

"Neat huh? Kinda reminds me of that movie Labryinth. Only without the goblins." she paused. "Unless you count the Psions as goblins...."

HP: 1 Condition: Damage -5, Fatigued

"Some of them," Richard grunts.

"I'll go first, in case anythign jumps out at us. Make sure you close it up behind us. if they don't know about it I don't want them stumbling in after us."

He gives the passageway a look, then down the hall on both side then steps inside.

Melissa, Graham & Curt:

I'll just roll Curt's Initiative.
Initiative [GM Rolled]: (1d20+4=15)

Initiative Order:
Melissa - 19
Curt -15
Amend -13 (Bruised)
Graham - 11 (higher dex mod)
Girl in Danger - 11

So right now it's Curt's turn, I'll give him a few days to get caught up & do a post before moving things along.

Richard, Keisha & Miku: The hidden hallway is dimly lit by a series of lights that are set up where the side walls connect to the ceiling, but the small orbs give off enough light that all of you can see with no trouble.

At this point all of you can see in the distance where small red lights sit halfway in the middle of the wall, just like the one that is next to the door the three of you just entered through. From what you can tell there are two more in this part of the Underbelly and the hall seems to go on a downward slope to the point that you can't see where it ends.

Notice Checks for everyone, DC 10

Richard gives the hall a long look before muttering, "Didn't I see this in a horror movie once?"

OOC: Notice: 1d20+7=21

Richard gives the hall a long look before muttering, "Didn't I see this in a horror movie once?"

"Shall we stay to the right?" Keisha quips right back as she studied everything. "Or go left or neither way?"

Tracer
HP:5
CND:Attack!! Banzai!

Seeing Amend losing his lunch, Curt grinned. ’No less than you deserve. Here comes dessert!’. He concentrated his powers on the hapless Psion, trying to take him out of the fight.

Vibration Blast (penetrating 4) Vibration Blast: Attack Roll: 1d20+6 → [8,6] = (14)

HP to re-roll: 1d20+6 → [11,6] = (17)

DC 25 if that hits…

[Tattooedman]

Melissa, Graham & Curt: Even though he's hidden from sight Curt's vibrational attack isn't and Amend spots it just before it reaches him. The athletic teen shifts his stance several feet in a fluid move that those of you who've watched MMA fights recognize, he then follows that up by moving the batons in his hands in a set of circular patterns with a speed that makes it difficult to follow exactly where they are until he moves towards Melissa and quickly lands a blow to her ribs.

Then as Graham reaches out with his stretched out limbs to wrap Amend up, the stick wielding teen tucks and rolls his way free of the attempt to grapple him coming up almost where he'd been originally in the center of the room.

"I ain't going down like that." He defiantely states.

Curt's attack misses, and that'll bring us to Amend's turn.

He's attacking Melissa, Melee Attack: (1d20+8=26), that hits. It's a Toughness DC 20 for her.

Graham's Snare attack does hit, so that's a Reflex DC 18.
Amend's Reflex Save: (1d20+8=23), but he beats that.

I want to wait and let Shock have a chance to roll Melissa's Toughness Save against Amend's attack before getting to what the Notice check was for so I'm going hold off on finishing the rest of the round for the moment. So once he's posted that I'll wrap this round up.

Melissa sucked in her breath and jumped back, lessening the impact of the baton to almost nothing.

Toughness save (1d20 + 6 - 2=23)

[Tattooedman]

Richard, Miku & Keisha: All three of you stop in your tracks as each of you manage to pick up bits of someone else talking, two guys from the sound of it.

"So what kind of stupid drill do you think the old man called for today?"

"No clue but I ain't getting in close with all those feebs."


The smell of someone smoking hits you about this point.

[Tattooedman]

In the fight [Melissa, Curt & Graham]: Jumping back away from Amend managed to save you from the majority of his attack but at the last moment you realize that someone is directly behind you, and as you spin on your heel you find that it's Amend's former victim; now standing upright and grabbing you with a wicked smile on her face.

Once again you manage to make the Notice check, so no Surprise attack on Melissa.
But there's still another attack.
Her Melee Attack: (1d20+8=24), that should be a hit. Melissa needs to roll against a Will DC 18.

Richard rolled his shoulders and squeezed his hands into fists twice.

Smart money said it was students talking about Summers and not Psions talking about, well, Psion. Of course smart money also said he should send the girls first to get a look at who they were dealing with.

Of course that would mean sending in two, squishy, teenage girls to see what dangers were up ahead. He just couldn't come up with a good reason to risk them instead of just doing it himself.

So he stood up straight and walked straight over to see who was playing hooky from what.

Melissa Graves : Epitaph
HP: 4
Condition: Bruised 2

Melissa fought off the blond girl's assault and prepared to get herself out from between the two foes.

Will save (1d20 + 7=22)
