>>33069482
Since JJ is not yet in a propper relationship with laura yet, would not really be as funny as it could be.

>>33069502

I'd rather not, since she's most likely their first target and they must have things to use against her.

>>33069504
>[ ] Failing that, taze her until she's unconscious

I don't think that would work with her level of healing compared to our level of taserhands.

>>33069397
Shit, yeah, lets go play tag

>>33069533
so when they KO her we grab her and GTFO.

or they didn't bring tranqs and the facility is hiring for new mooks tomorrow

>>33069333
>>[ ] Try to get Lucas and the Hellions to run.

Oh good, I'm not too late.

We need to remember what the shop girl told us about the black guy.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/29490406/

We can ask if it's the same black guy here and if he can do it to us.

>>33069560
No, that's a terrible idea. For all we know they have tranqs that can beat Laura's metabolism and ours, and they already have a way of tracking us in close quarters.

>>33069651
we're mutant in the marvel universe, we don't need help being unpopular. badum tsh

but I guess tagging us and chasing laura into the river would work

>>33069662
they didn't bust out the tranqs back inside. Did they officially sight laura?

>>33069651
>>33069668

That might take too much time. Plus Laura might count Brian coming close to JJ as interfering and knock him the fuck out.

>>33069651
Nice solution, but kind of meta knowledge to figure out and use right now.

>>33069668
I was thinking more along the lines of having him tag us so that Laura stops trying to kill us for the moment, then we can go wash up.

>>33069689
I doubt she'd be holding back enough to just knock him out. She's berserk when Triggered.

>>33069694
not meta, his power was explained in universe to us

Laura has metal claws.
That means she has metal bones
Metal is heavy as fuck
We're stronk as fuck
Therefore, stripping and going to swim in the river is the best way to outrun her. She can drown a little and it doesn't matter because of the Healing Factor.

>>33069662
No, but they were certainly prepared for Laura given the trigger scent and if we lead Laura to them, we're just helping them with their objective.

>>33069715

She incapacitates those trying to interfere.

>>33069694
Someone told us before, so we would know about it. Just call it a brainstorm.

>>33069722
>That means she has metal bones

NOPE.

Only metal claws. And I think adamantium is really light.

>>33069722
In her origin story they only did her claws, the rest of her skelly is normal. Its why her healing factor is better than wolvie's

>>33069722
She only has metal claws if I remember right.

>>33069727
If by incapacitate, you mean render a corpse, then yes.

see this anon's pic.
>>33069502

>>33069722
Laura doesn't actually have metal bones, just the metal claws.

>>33069333
>>33069397
This works.

>>33069727
she killed her own mother under trigger scent

she RIP AND TEAR atm

>>33069722
This isn't terrible logic, still a little meta, but what else are we going to do to stop her? If she's angry enough to go after us without rationalizing, she'll probably chase us all the way to anywhere so long as we keep her attention. Thank god for all those times we played tag

>[X] Try to get Lucas and the Hellions to run.
>Autosuccess engaged!

It comes at you again, claws shining with lethal intent, but you step deftly to one side, your speed surprising the both of you. If this were Laura – the real Laura – she’d have probably gotten you by now, maybe killed you and left you bleeding in the snow already, but it’s not. It has her speed and her agility, almost none of her almost preternatural talent for combat. It’s just going through the motions of rage, swiping feverishly at you, like an animal.

“What the hell!?”

Julian close behind him, Lucas emerges from behind the dumpsters off into the alley, hurriedly rolling up his sleeves. A dim, dusk-red glow pulses along his veins, pooling at the base of his knuckles.

“Don’t!” You shout, panicking momentarily. The beast lunges at you and you twist under it, darting around the creature. “I’ll deal with this, alright?” Another snarl, another swipe. It misses you by an inch – more or less. “You guys need to run! I’ll…”

You’ll do what, exactly? You’ll sit here and duck and weave until you’re finally out of energy and the creature wearing Laura’s skin decorates the street with your innards?

“…I’ll lead her away!”

Lucas looks like he’s about to argue, but Julian grasps him by the shoulder, pulling him away. The other teen offers you a quick, sort of douchy nod, as if it must mean something coming from him, before the group scarpers off into the night.

Leave you and the lady alone.

I know I've seen one Wolverine comic where he mentions his skeleton makes him too heavy to swim, then I'm pretty certain it became completely disregarded forever.

Metal claws are still heavy, guys. If she tries to swim, she's going to have a difficult time paddling, if she can even swim.

The fucking river would do that much more effectively.

Say we get away from Laura. Then what do you think she's going to do? She going to head straight to her next target. The giant cloud of trigger scent a few blocks away. Then she get captured.

If we still have trigger scent on us we wont even be able to rescue her when she goes after the bad guys because she'll attack us also.

>>33069887

You're pretty fucking late, bro.

>>33070044
We have to lead her there somehow. We're just leading her while up on things.

There is no getting away from her. She won't stop as long as we have that scent on us. Once we get to a decent position, we can apply the POWER OF LOVE without worrying about getting anyone else hurt.

So we should lead her down what, main street, where there are a fuck ton of people that can get in our way and which Laura can slice to pieces? We can still lead Laura to the river, but this way she doesn't have as much of an advantage and there's not as many people she could hurt

>shadow quest was stealing our dice all along

As you fellow muties vanish into the night, you ponder your remaining options.

You can’t go back. Guns are back. And the cops’ll be here soon, followed shortly by Mutant Control, when someone realized just what the hell is going on. Hell, maybe SHIELD’ll get involved. Private armies tearing up a small chunk of NY is SHIELD stuff, right?

You leap to the side of another bladed swipe, and an idea forms in the back of your mind. You… you can jump pretty good. Not Samurai Jack good (you doubt very much that you’ll ever be Samurai Jack good at anything), but pretty damn good nonetheless. You can take this straight off the street, somewhere nice and high up, where you have the distinct advantage of being really really sticky (also, wings).

Screaming in rage, the beast hurls itself at you, leading with its claws. You sweep back, leading it straight into the alley Julian and company were using for cover. Waiting for it to commit itself into yet another snarling lunge, you push off, nine or ten feet of air suddenly rushing in under you. You slam straight into the alley wall and flail out desperately, your palm sticking fast to the brickwork. Hissing in frustration, the beast glares up at you, taking a brief, frenzied moment to assess its surroundings before bolting for the fire escape a little to your left.

You let it gain some ground before pushing off again, throwing yourself onto the roof of the opposite building. Blessed with a drop of precious time, you take a moment to think.

…It’s pretty obviously that gas they doused you with, isn’t it? The smell is tenacious, clinging to you like an overbearing mother, its acrid sweetness still fresh. That’s why she went for you, rather than just popping her claws through whoever happened to be in sight when… whatever this is… kicked in.

So it’s a gas designed to affect her sense of smell, or something. You wonder why it doesn’t work on you.

The beast tears its way up the fire escape, slicing through whatever happens to be in its way. It throws an atavistic, feral glare over its shoulder at you, before making an impressive leap across the alley, fingers finding purchase on the ledge beside you.

You’ve got to get clean.

I wonder if muscle memory would work from watching cartoons, or if it has to be live action.

In any case, using muscle memory to learn Laura's fighting style (actually, her stealth style would be more useful to JJ) would probably be the most readily available means of improving JJ's overall ability.

>>33070835

Those other abilities being locked are unrelated to JJ's phobia. They're just the (current) limitations of his mutation.

>>33070835
You are thinking of second set powers.
Strength is a first set power in the tertiary catagory.
It will always be locked, because of the decision for a stealth build at quest start.

>>33070890
I don't remember in which thread, but I believe once JJ gets over a personal trial or something they'll be unlocked.

>>33070789
He can't TK what he can't see. Also Crusty said he gave Julian a different power than in the comics. We still don't know what it is for sure.

Julian could still have TK tho. "Different power" might have meant that Julian power just had a different mechanic behind it. TK through molecular manipulation was very OP in the comics.

>>33070835
I bet Joseph could unlock Strenght 5 and other stuff. Xtra Power!

Hey Crusty, DB level 1 is hot unstable gases and not fire on its own? Then why DC18? I could understand if it ignited something and brought about a willcheck to not freak out but what if it didn't set anything on fire?

Fire hydrants! New York is full of fire hydrants! Back when you were a kid, blissfully ignorant of the ways of the world, you thought it was an exaggeration, but it isn’t. NY is probably built on some kind of giant fire hydrant hive that occasionally pushes a new generation of spawn to the surface.

As the beast scrabbles its way up onto the roof, you let the change take your arms, bones bursting through flesh, flesh bursting through hoodie, skin stretching and warping. You take to the air in a single mighty heave, just in time to evade a ferocious, arcing swing of the beast’s claws.

You remain just out of her reach for a few minutes, held aloft by the cool night breeze, before you spot a fire hydrant sitting in the street below. You swoop down, skidding a little as you hit the ground. You’re still not quite certain of how exactly one goes about landing a JJ. Silhouetted atop a nearby building, the beast glances to and fro, before running for the closest way down. Breathing heavily, you rest your foot against the hydrant.

Beginning to calm down, you flinch a little as a flash of blue light snaps over you. It alternates to red, and you realize, in a burst of sudden horror, that you’ve been so entirely focused on Laura that you’ve been blocking most other crap out. The sirens screech in your ears. Three cop cards heading straight down the street.

Crap.

>>33070973
He's already answered this question. Do you not read the after quest Q&A's.

The first and only time JJ used the power JJ melted a dudes face and started him on fire. You need to roll a will check because JJ will second guess himself before even trying to use the power.

Remember in one of the earlier thread when we rolled a will check to strike a match. We failed and JJ never lit the match. Just thinking about it was enough to give him PTSD flash backs.

(That's not a serious submission. Just a joke I wrote. Saying this just in case there's misunderstanding)

He knows it can cause fire, hence the check.

>>33070924
Julian still has TK. He just doesn't have molecular manipulation.

A fully visible and berserk Laura will still be noticed by the cops. Let's just get this done.

>[x] Invisible.

Spot a car two or three streets away. Throw a rock at it, to create noise, and hopefully trigger it's alarm. Wash while the cops look into that.

>>33071081
Because if fire took everything you ever loved at age 13ish, then an angry mob tried to light you on fire after pouring petrol all over you, you'd remember. Or at least, a part of you would. The rest of you wouldn't, because OH GOD.

So whenever something like that comes up (say, someone lighting a match), a part of your brain would say HEY I REMEMBER THAT GUYS REMEMBER THAT TIME-and then the rest of your brain would metaphorically tackle that part and attempt to shut it the fuck up.

That is why we require a DC 18 to light a match, much less use Dragon's Breath.

>>33071152
>Is JJ ever going to confront his pyrophobia on his own? because when it gets suggested as a write in it gets shouted the fuck down

It gets shouted because no one wants to make a DC18 with no bonuses. And the times it comes up in the quest naturally (Demon & shipwreck), we get bonuses and the DC isn't as high.

That's pretty much it.

>>33071226
we'll be at 160+ threads by the time we reach 4/5

>>33071222
>They probably shot Spiderman while he was pulling orphans out of a burning building

If they see Miles, they'll probably say:

>"See! I told you Spider-Man's black."
>"SPIDER-MAN'S A NIGGER! OPEN FIRE!"

>>33071226
Personally, I'd love to. With relationship mods, we can probably beat an 18.

>>33071152
>when it gets suggested as a write in it gets shouted the fuck down
When we're in a combat situation it does. If we chose between
>Dodge = a DC 16 with a +4 agility modifier
>DB = a DC 18 with no modifier

I'll pick dodge every time. We're to close to getting an arm chopped off as it is.

>>33071147
How would that even work, though? Would we get a separate template, or would we spend like an x-point and shift that shit around, limiting some things and being able to boost others?

>>33071250

>>33071291
Relationship mods are the only reason we've beat phobia rolls in the past. If one of our friends is in a burning building and there is no other way to save them then we get a relationship mod equal to our relationship level with them.

If we decided to burn someones face off just to see what happens, we get no mods.

>>33071331
Those web-shooters probably count as littering. Sure it breaks down after a bit, but he leaves webbing all over. Who knows if it clogs up the sewers or whatever when it breaks down and washes away.

>>33071388
So, as I've said in previous threads, we should have a thread in which JJ faces his fears and hopefully doesn't roll like a crackbitch.

>>33071272
Paperwork? No no, just sprinkle some crack on him and lets get out of here.

>>33071388
Relationship mods and I'm fairly certain JJ also has a Courage bonus listed on his pastebin character sheet. Plus there's the occasional "Fuck this guy in particular" morale bonus (demon guy).

We're the one covered in the scent. Splashing her would just make her wet.

>[X] Invisible.

Reflexively, you scrub yourself out of the visual spectrum, vanishing into the cold, muted embrace of invisibility. That’s pretty much your default reaction to authority figures, possibly going back to before you even had these stupid powers, and it’s served you okay so far. Two cruisers shoot by, clearly en route to some nearby emergency, but the last one grind to a halt in the middle of the road.

You flinch a little as a young, blonde officer of the law emerges from the passenger seat, glancing warily across the street, radio in one hand and pistol in the other.

“…10-X, I repeat, 10-X, we have possible mutant involvement…” Staring at the apparently empty space you’re occupying, he glances to and fro, down the road, sighing a little. “…Possible suspect appears to have vanished. We’re”–

Something knocks over one of the bins squatting at the mouth of a nearby alley. You squirm inwardly, because you know it’s not just something – it’s Laura, or the creature wearing her flesh. Christ.

Starting slightly, the cop glances in her direction. She starts to put on speed.

“…Young lady…?”

Her breath trails from her as a long, guttural snarl.

“…Ma’am, are you”–

The moon bounces across her claws. You see his face change in an instant. He raises his gun, eyes dilating, heart accelerating–

Not a fan of the police myself. He knew the risks when he put his badge on, let him have it.

>>33071432
The reason people keep saying DC 18 no mods is because we don't get any of those if we have options that don't involve DB.

For example; We're in a situation where we need to kill a guy and strength would work just as effectively at killing the guy but we chose DB for the lulz then there are no "Fuck this guy in particular" modifiers.

>>33071459
>>[ ] Let him draw her attention.

The part where we got bonuses in the past based on the circumstances at the time?

And from the pastebin:
Boosted Attributes:
COURAGE (+1)
PERCEPTION (+1)
AGILITY (+1)
PERSUASION (+1)

>COURAGE (+1)

But likely the phobia outweighs the courage bonus there, however I still needed to mention it.

>>33071541
If we did it for the lulz (an un-JJ thing to do in my opinion), then no, but if we met Creeper and he was threatening our friends, it might happen. Or if he was egging us on while trying to use our fear against us (because he likely knows about it).

Bless you, anon.

>>33071647
I think it's more that we're not facing our fear/doing something that sets it specifically into courage.

So, currently, if we have the help of Laura in facing our fear, it'd be +4 & +1 vs. DC 18.

>>33071672
But calling in specifically with Laura's description or ours, Anon? Not yet. THAT is what gets the Faculty on our asses.

>>33071647
>But likely the phobia outweighs the courage bonus there,

You don't say?

>>33071651

Seconded.

Even a half-call is better than a full report.

>>33071693

No, just DC 18 No Bonuses I think.

I hope Crusty comes and clears this up.

>>33071715
I think the vanishing mention is a hint.

>>33071715
The FACILITY knows we are with Laura and have used our description to hunt us, since thread 6

>>33071739
It's New York, cop could have seen something, but the people they saw ran away. But if this cop calls us in (our descriptions), the Faculty could be on our asses quickly.

>>33071788
The mutant vanishing, plus the phrasing. A cop says the mutant vanished, it's more likely chalked up to "Weird mutant shit" than "suspect fled the scene or is currently hiding over there".

I swear, we need to shove something nasty up Laura's nose to overwhelm the scent trails of the trigger scent once we clean off. Cleaning ourselves off with water is a good start, but we need something to keep the Facility from causing Laura to go berserk the minute she gits a whiff.

Dammit. She’ll kill him. Cops’ve never done you any favours, but you never gave them much of a reason to count you on their good side, did you? You and your backpacks full of drugs and your iron pipe round the back of tourists’ heads. In a way you sort of owe these people, don’t you?

You feel your arms shift, flesh furling back into shape, wings receding into five clawed digits. The gun rises through the air and you perceive, in perfect, aching clarity, Laura’s eyes swivel in their sockets, turning toward him. The beast sets its sights on him.

Hurling yourself off the fire hydrant, you bull into the man, a panicked yelp expanding in his chest as an apparently invisible force knocks him off his feet, sending him tumbling through the air. And then the beast is on you, its claws raking in close, its breath filling the air with incognisant, empty hate. You catch Laura’s wrists a second before the thing puppeteers her claws straight through your chest, but the force slams you against the hood of the cruiser, nudging it very slightly across the tarmac. The beast spits and growls straight into your face, blood boiling in the corners of its eyes.

In the corner of your eye, the driver scrambles out of his car, fear bleating in his eyes, fingers fumbling at his gun. He draws it and –

“Jerry, no!”

The other officer, the one you saved, throws up a cautionary hand, his eyes focused on you, something resembling gratitude in them. His partner hesitates just long enough for you to…

The beast snarls in your face and you feel compelled to answer in kind, a vicious, deep roar reverberating up through your throat, emerging from some ancient, deep-down place, somewhere primeval. You think you feel a wave of sickening heat emerge from your mouth, all but plastering the hair to Laura’s face.

You heave. You heave with all your ridiculous, bestial strength. Laura surges back, towards the street, still pushing desperately to get her claws into your chest, and the moment you feel the fire hydrant beneath you slam your foot straight down on it.

Cold, clear water washes over you, slicing up into the air. It burns, not like fire. The beast struggles and writhes, screeching in hungry frustration, pushing harder now, hissing, spitting, finally resorting to putting its teeth into your shoulder. The pain lances through you, but the cold dulls it, evening it out across you. Slowly, the acidic touch of the gas fades.

Slowly, the claws vanish, pale skin knitting itself whole behind them. The beast pulls its fangs out of your flesh, and Laura looks up at you. Her teeth are mottled with blood. Breath smells of gore and adrenaline. The water shimmers on her skin, wreathing her in a cold, colourless flame.

She breaths in, and opens her mouth, and–

The gunshot cuts through the night. You feel it dig in to your back. You feel the blood bubble up to the surface, spilling out through your hoodie, hot against cold. It doesn’t hurt, at first. Then it does.

“Jerry! Holy shit, Jerry! What have you”–

You knees touch the pavement. You taste blood in your throat.

“Johnathan!” Laura’s voice. “Johnathan!” Laura’s voice. “John!”

You feel yourself burning.

Dear God Wren, where the fuck are these rolls coming from? Use up all your bad luck in PPQ?

The cops are going to think Laura is a threat even after we wash off.

But this is New York. Those cops have see enough weird shit that we could just point at Laura and say "that was mind control" And the cops would probably believe us.
