Silver Witch
HP: 1 LP: 1
Condition: Fine

Silver Witch almost facepalms but resist the urge. "Oh brother, not these guys. I've met some of these Hillbillies before, they can jump to conclusions faster than a rabbit with a wolf on its tail. Now boys, maybe you should surrender right now. Remember last time you tried to shoot me, it won't work with my force field up. So save the ammo, we came for information, not a fight."

The fact that four hostile guys came out of building Hercule supposedly entered was not a good sign. The French Luchadore would have preoccupied them violently if he were able. She snapped onto comms with a panicky voice. “Hercule!? Are you okay?! Doctor Mercury, are you still in the vicinity and can check on Hercule? He might be hurt.”

Redneck D, while dazed, is able to strike back at Mustang, hitting him (18). DC 19 damage.

Redneck C, though shaken (-2 penalty) takes a swing at The Shield... and misses completely (9 total).

The Shield's turn next, followed by Skeeter's.

"Aw, cheese and crackers!" he hollers. "SUPER-HEROES! Let's get 'em!" he takes aim right at Silver Witch...
Adrien listens to the leader, he knows the four hillbillies are outside, and have ran into his new colleagues.

(Laissez les jeunes s'amuser.)Oo. he thought.

He got to his feet, and took the blue, smartphone-sized, wad out of his pocket. He snapped it open. The remains of Adrien's buckshot-filled-shirt slid off his chest with the forceful action.

In a moment, Hercule's hood, mask and cape were in place. He then removed Adrien's trousers and shoes, and then le Petit Hercule carried them with him as he headed for the back of the house, looking for the back door.
Changing clothing.

Let the young folk have their fun.

Le Petit Hercule activated the comm mic he transferred to his gauntlet, "I am fine, ma cheri, but the shirt d'Adrien... it will not recover." His voice has the quality of someone talking through fabric. He also sounds like he's smiling. The sound of his smile went away as he then asked, into the comm, "Docteur M. are you there?"

The four men surround you on all sides, being careful to leave little space between them. They don't want you escaping now that they've located your placement.

The man in blue, shirtless and wielding a Japanese sword, goes first. Just barely, his blade misses (18).
The one in purple spins around a powerful bo staff, striking down across your head (21) as you swerve to avoid the blade. DC 20 damage (Power Attack +1).
The remaining two strike simultaneously. One whirls about twin nunchucks, smashing you repeatedly (27). DC 19 damage (Power Attack +1). Another spins twin daggers about, jabbing them into your back (21). DC 19 damage (Power Attack +1).

Though their attacks are strictly human-level, their accuracy tells the tale- these are professional fighters; no mere street thugs.[/b]
The staff hits Doctor Mercury's reinforced skull harmlessly, and her back muscles are dense enough and resilient enough of that the ninja with the daggers doesn't have much luck either. She very nearly catches a nunchuck directly to the throat, though. It's only pure luck that she takes it on the chin instead. It's an unsettling moment for her: Doctor Mercury isn't at all used to being in fights, and these people seem to know much more about it than she does.

She whips her tail at the orange ninja who nearly smashed her throat, and then moves. She's surrounded on all four sides, so she goes up instead, jumping right up to the ceiling and clinging to it. It's then that she realizes people are inquiring after her on the radio.

"I'm in the barn," she says quickly. "It's full of ninjas. And a meth lab."

Toughness check 1: 1D20+9 = [15]+9 = 24

Toughness check 2: 1D20+9 = [1]+9 = 10
(Eesh. Hate to blow my starting hero point so early, but there's really no better time for it than when outnumbered and rolling a 1 on a saving throw...)
Toughness check 2, Hero Point: 1D20+9 = [2]+9 = 11
(21! Good enough.)
Toughness check 3: 1D20+9 = [11]+9 = 20

Attack roll 1: 1D20+9 = [13]+9 = 22


[OOC: 0 hero points in the first round of combat! Lookin' sharp. Mobility array is set to Leaping 8, and if that attack roll hits, her strength makes it a DC 24 toughness save.]

Condition: Normal

Flyby sees the hillbillies leaving from Herc's last known location and starts to slow down, until:

Semilla gives a relieved sigh at hearing the Frenchman was okay but her concern came back with a vengeance at the mention of barn full of ninjas with Doctor Mercury alone in there. "We'll get you help as soon as we can, Doctor."

Semilla never expected to be in combat. In her imagining of how this would go she pictured herself in the back as the other 9 fought off a hoard of giant robots, assisting where she could. Maybe pulling a fallen comrade off the front lines and using the spell of Healing to get them bounced back to the battle. She did NOT imagine multiple concurrent fights of hillbillies and ninjas in a swamp.

"Bar group, we might need you to finish your drinks and exit quietly and give back up at one of these locations, either the petting zoo offices or the barn." Semilla says into the comms, not knowing they had their own melee to contend with.

Knowing this had to be finished quickly Semilla mutters a word that sounds like it's creators couldn't afford to buy enough vowels. She stomps down and a tendril shoots from her foot sending anchoring roots down as it snakes along the ground. When it reaches one of the Hillbillies it sends up a mass of clinging vines with the tenacity of kudzu and the implacability of ivy to bind the foe, then the tap root continues to the next to repeat the process.

Hopeful she had enough range to get all enemies and avoid allies.

"Silver Witch is right, we're not your enemies! We're here to fight off the ninjas; they're in your barn!" Semilla says to the (hopefully entangled) hostile combatants.

So, DC 19 Dodge for either DC 19 or 14 dodge checks or Affliction.

(<Screw the backdoor,>)Oo. he thought, oblivious to the double entendre it would have been had he said it aloud. He turned and head back towards the front door.

Adrien thought about what the Hillbilly leader had said, right before things got violent.

(<If we take out these ninjas, official Ninja gang or not, and these Hillbillies, will we be opening up the neighbourhood for the Furries?>)Oo.

He went out the front door looking out into the fray between the Hillbillies and half the Victory League.
"Leave them!" le Petit Hercule said loudly. "This is his home," he gestured to the Hillbilly leader. "We are, how do you say, tresspassers. Their only crime, ce soir, was killing Adrien's shirt."

He hated the idea of letting his would-be assailants go free, but his cinema-driven (and very incomplete) understanding of the American courts, made him think that they wouldn't be able to keep them in jail. Not for anything they had done tonight.

"We should go helping Doctor Mercury," he said, realizing too late that he'd mis-conjugated the verb. He stuck out his left arm, pointing across the yard, across the street, over the fence he'd looked through earlier, and across approximately half of the petting zoo towards the distant barn. "ALLONS-Y!!"

He bent his knees, and ready to spring into the air. He was using about a fourth of his of his full leaping force. If he judged the distance right, he would land within 10 metres of the barn. (Or 5 of 7 ranks of Leaping, about 250 feet.)
this evening
LET'S GO!!
(OOC: If he has a movement or standard action left, he will actually take the leap. Otherwise, he's poised in the doorframe, ready to jump.)

OUTSIDE GROUP:

Flyby's attack slams into the leader (you wouldn't know off-hand which one it is, but the fact that he's carrying the only ranged weapon is probably a good indication), hitting him full-force. He goes flying back, stunned and badly hurt (Toughness 14 vs. 25- Dazed & Bruised -1).

Semilla's attack is easily long-reaching enough to hit all four Hillbillies. The Leader deftly dodges it (probably because he just got ker-splatted by Flyby and is currently sailing through the air), but the other three are hit- Percival is nailed STRAIGHT-ON, immediately enveloped until only a single arm sticks out of the mass of branches surrounding him. The other two are tangled up badly, but can still move, albeit with great difficulty.

Leader: 21 (vs 19)
Hillbilly #2: 17
Hillbilly #3: 15
Percival: 5 (haha, holy shit)

Hillbillies 2 & 3 are Hindered, Vulnerable & Impaired. Percival is Immobilized, Defenseless & Disabled.

BAR FIGHT:

Your attack misses Skeeter, as he bobs his considerable bulk around you- it occurs to you as a guy goes sailing by via suplex that these guys aren't merely common thugs; they're pretty experienced fighters.

Redneck D (the dazed one), manages a clumsy attack against Mustang, who is clearly the bigger threat, but misses socking him across the jaw with a board (17 to hit with Power Attack).

Mustang's turn next.

BARN FIGHT:

Doctor Mercury's tail swipe manages to connect with the orange nunchaku-wielding guy, sending him flying. (13 toughness vs 24- Staggered & Bruised -1)

"Oh, hell!" The katana-wielding guy shouts. "She's got jumping powers! Super-Strength! CAMOUFLAGE!" he hollers out as loud as he can "SUUUUUUUUPER-HEROOOOO!!! SUUUUUUUUUUPER-HEROOOOOOOOOO!!!! Everybody! At the window! SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER-HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Some anticipatory music for y'all

With that, all the lights come on, and they arrive. A virtual army of them, dressed in similar clothing to the four you're facing. A guy in bright green. One in yellow. Another in blue. A guy in light orange wielding a huge axe. Thirteen men in total now face you in the barn, swinging their weapons menacingly.

"Congratulations, fool. You have just won the honor of being the first of the city's many champions who will die at our hands." the man in green pulls out a huge longsword from a scabbard, pointing it at you. "We took over the territory of these much-vaunted gang members in order to cement our authority, and maintain a base of operations. You have stumbled onto our plan for takeover, and that privilege will cost you your life. For this city has new masters." With that, he pulls out a green shirt as dramatically as he can, sliding it over his torso. It reveals a puff-paint drawing of his very weapon across the chest. The others mimic him, throwing on shirts of their own.

"New WEAPON-Masters"

"..." he pauses. "Can anyone get her down from the wall?" The yellow one, wielding his spear, comes up and tries a few ineffectual pokes and where your blurry image seems to be. A guy in brown takes a few swings with a large flail. "Nope. Can't reach". With that, he looks at a guy in dark green, carrying a bag full of javelins. He looks back, just as all twelve other men look straight at him.

"... *sigh*. F*ck's sake." Javelin mutters. "I knew we shouldn't have rejected Atlatl."

Initiative for the rest of the gang:
Knife: 16
Flail: 22
Sword: 6
Halberd: 13
Fist: 16
Spear: 17
Axe: 15
Lasso: 12
Javelin: 7

(With all this time wasted, it's a new Initiative Round. And Le Petite Hercule will have arrived)
