* The power of the raging inferno... *

Pyrebird: You are able to control some of the fire, but most of the third floor is still burning out of control!

Flames reduced to 2d...

[Dustland]

Pyrebird: Like a savage dog on a leash, the fire bucks your control and belches out from the window in a growing ball of flame, hurtling straight at you!

* Inferno lashes out at Pyrebird *

Andromeda: You land in an apartment and look around through the billowing smoke and flame. After a quick sweep of the unit, you determine Benito Laguna is not in this one.

Being exposed to the smoke and flame, Andromeda is attacked by the hazard as well...

* The flames and smoke attempt to devour Andromeda! *

We'll move to Round 2 after Pyrebird and Andromeda make their defense rolls.

[Xhaosdaemon]

Pyrebird, seeing the flames rushing towards him, concentrates for a moment again and his entire body becomes flame. As the fire from the building reaches him it merely becomes a part of who he is at the moment.

* Elemental Form (Fire, 3D) to become flame and allow the leaping fire to merge with him. *

[Dustland]

Pyrebird: The flames harmlessly merge with your elemental form.

Very cool!

Andromeda needs to defend against the attack, then on to Round 2!

[Dragonfly]

Squinting through the smoke and fire, Andromeda continues to call out Benito Laguna's name while trying to spot him.

* Andromeda relies on her alien physique (Fortitude) to resist the Inferno's effects *

[Dustland]

End of Round 1:
Glare and Dragster have a suspect in custody a short distance away from the apartment.
Andromeda is on the third floor of the apartment building searching for Benito Laguna.
Pyrebird is battling the flames (2d remaining).

Round 2:
Dragster
Glare
Pyrebird
Fire!
Andromeda

Dragster (looking at Glare) says to himself, "well I'd talk if that guy was asking the questions".

Says to captive: "Talk, or he'll get nasty (pointing to Glare). What were you up to and who's the guy that's gonna kill ya?" .

[urbwar]

Glare, picking up on Dragster's play, starts a glow around his armor. He then creates a spear out of light, and punctures one of the car's tires.

* Light spear puncturing tire *

[Dustland]

Dragster and Glare: The man's eyes go wide at Glare's display of power and the realization that he's in a hopeless situation. "Please, I can't tell you guys nothin'. Arrest me, whatever, but if I squeal, Stripe's gonna stomp me! You can't make me talk, I ain't gonna rat, ya see?" He continues to babble, not realizing he's given you a name....

Pyrebird's next!

[Xhaosdaemon]

Even though he knows fire isn't sentient, Pyrebird thought it was pretty rude of the blaze to try and hurt him. He again stretched out his power and called the flame to congregate completely in one location.

* Elemental Control (Fire) to try and finish the job he started. *

[Dustland]

* Burn baby burn *

Pyrebird is able to snuff most of the flames on the third floor (Hazard reduced to 1d). Just as it appears that he will be able to contain the blaze completely, the still burning interior hallway collapses through the floor and sets the second and first floors ablaze! A moment later a terrible hiss and pop, followed by a rush of fire announces the rupture of the remaining gas lines in the building!

The flames spread and are intensified by the added fuel! (+3d, so Hazard (fire) 4d now). Given enough time, the fire will certainly spread to neighboring structures....tic toc tic toc...

[Weird, having problems rolling twice in one post....]

[Dustland]

Andromeda, searching the rooms, and Pyrebird, hovering in front of a window as the gas lines explode, must both resist the new rush of heat and flame!

* I like my supers well-done please. *

Andromeda is next!

[Dragonfly]

Okay, sorry for the confusion. Ignore this post. I entered the die code as 3D instead of 3d6 - hence the impossible result of 0. Check out the next post for the correct (still bad) roll.

* Athleticism to avoid rush of heat and flame *

[Dragonfly]

* Athletics to avoid rush of heat and flame *

About to move deeper into the building in search of Benito Laguna, Andromeda sees the floor crumble and hears the hiss preceding the gas main explosion. She attempts to leap over the onrush of heat and flame to reach some of the unsearched rooms, but underestimates the task and is struck by the flames [1d taken to Fortitude]. Thrown off balance, she lands awkwardly and twists her ankle [1d taken to Reaction].

[Dragonfly]

Eyes narrowing in frustration at her mis-step, she rises to her full height and calls out yet again, "Benito Laguna! Where are you!"

If she doesn't see or hear him in her immediate vicinity, she will take her Silver Knight Sabre and cut a hole in the wall, moving into an adjacent room as she continues her search.
