[D4. MA, Open] Life Comes in Threes--the 3rd Challenge

[Uri-el]

Uri-el is defeated by the sea! If only he were a human/penguin hybrid instead of a fiery being with serious religious overtones! If only Camilo were trapped in a box in the sky!

Athletics check: save Camilo!! | 1d20+5 ⇒ 9

Uri-el calls out to the Clownmericans. "Pagliaccio! There is a hero trapped in a cavity down here! Do you have a diver among you? Or perhaps 20 clowns in a clown-submarine?"

[Dapper Dog]

The jet ski performs admirably as she makes her way towards the damaged building.

Meanwhile

A clown diver steps up and dives down to try and find the lost Camilo. The clown-submarine was being prepped though, if needed.

[Uri-el]

Satisfied that the clowns would probably save Camilo a whole lot more safely and efficiently than he could, Uri-el returned to his natural habitat: the air. He zoomed toward the buildings at great speed, ready to exercise his abilities to their fullest.

The building is damaged from the force of the wave and he can see some people hanging from balconies and others trapped in this tall hotel structure. The people wave for aid, and the building is definitely going to fall…the question is how many can be saved before it falls into the water below.

OOC: Players, currently Uri-el and Frankie, can make Skill or Power checks starting at DC 15 to try and rescue people or keep the building from falling. Once all have gone that is a turn, they have three turns to get everyone each degree of success is five people and there are 70 people in total. The DC increases to DC 20 on round 2, and DC 25 on round 3.

Camilo can join on Round 2 after being saved by the Clown Diver. Assuming they have recovered.

[Dapper Dog]

Camilo came to, finding himself separated and in a small dark space underwater. This was worst case scenario. He felt the panic rising as consciousness began to escape him again before his powers kicked in and pumped him back full of vitality. Thrashing about, Camilo could only imagine an endless cycle of suffocation and suffering followed by merciless, accursed resuscitation.

The clown diver is able to reach Camilo and swim up to the surface. She said, "Bruv, clowns be good, you will live, yeah?"

[Frankie Reynes]

Completely oblivious to the fact there was now a third canonical Frankie, Prime Frankie jumped off the speedboat and started climbing the building, jumping and leaping off ledges and all that cool shit to help get people down.

Acrobatics to save people | 1d20+16 ⇒ 28 - 15 people saved?

[Camilo Batista]

Camilo came to sputtering and thrashing about. Instead of the certainty of soul crushing darkness enveloping him in existential dread from repeated and immediate samsara, he opened his eyes to sunshine and the face of an angel. Not the face of the biblically inaccurate stylized angel, but an angelic face layered in makeup with geometric shapes imprinted across it. Then she spoke and it was like the holy choir of angels and saints had descended to sing him back to life, had decreed he would live and thrive.

"Meu Deus! Eu estou apaixonado." True love at first sight had blossomed and it was definitely not at all related to the bridge effect. "How long have I been down?"

“Bruv,” she said with surprise at his speedy recovery, “Maybe a few minutes I was about to do mouth to mouth, yeah, but clowns be praised you’re awake. Your mate… with the wings went that way,” she said gesturing to the collapsing building.

“He flew there, like a bird, yeah.”

[Camilo Batista]

The voice, the accent, the ponytail. It started to click, "Frankie?" He asked while looking in the direction she gestured. At the sudden movement, copious amounts of ocean water came surging out of his mouth like a fountain. It finally tapered off and he was able to ask, "Can you get us over there?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Yah know my name?” she said with confusion. She had questions but that could wait, clowns willing. She said, “Aye, mate, we can take a boat on over, yeah.”

She gets the boat into the water and starts heading over with Camilo.

“This may be sound like a weird, question, bruv, but where are we?” she asked.

Uri-el swung into action, diving through a window at incredible speed to scoop up the trembling and frightened and speed away, dodging shaky pillars and making impossibly tight turns, as one does, all along the way.

Spending the Session 2 hero point on Ultimate Effort to set Aerobatics die roll to 20.

20+13-15=18 3 degrees of success. 15 people saved.
Total Saved=30/70

[Frankie Reynes]

Frankie was continuing to climb and help people out onto her speedboat


Round two: More acrobatics to save the people! (hero point re-roll) | 1d20+16 ⇒ 29 - 10 people saved

[Uri-el]

Uri-el swooped under a collapsing column to save an elderly man, then swooped over the rooftop to pluck a family from the rooftop pool.

Round 2 Aerobatics check, DC 20 | 1d20+13 ⇒ 24 5 folks rescued.

[Camilo Batista]

Camilo assessed the situation as they approached, watching Frankie I scamper around the building pulling people to safety and Uri-el doing fly-bys to pluck people out of danger.

"It's kind of a long story. There's another you here. We're in maybe Brazil kind of, but really in a simulation. And not the ""The whole world's a simulation"" kind of way but an actual simulation for training. But hold on to that thought por um momento."

As they pulled up alongside the hotel, Camilo tried something he hadn't in quite a while. His abilities typically only worked on living people and only certain types of damage, but there were a rare few whose healing abilities had more flexibility. Feeling frisky after his near-deaths experience he pushed.

Leaning over the side of the boat, he grabbed onto the building and willed as much energy as he could into it. Trying to force it to "heal" itself and stop the collapse.

Seeing the cracks in the walls start to seal up and the tall hotel essentially perk up from the looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Camilo fell back against Frankie III and into the speedboat

[Dapper Dog]

"Holy shit, bruv," she said as she caught him. "Did you do that, yeah?"

[Frankie Reynes]

Frankie had loaded up her speedboat with people and was about to head back in when it seemed as if the building seemed to steady itself somehow.

"Oi, wot?" She called out, her head poking out over the railing to see what was going, "Everyone good?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Congratulations, you have completed the given scenario. While there was a great deal of casualties you were able to save many people from harm and death. Please exit the simulation and report to the medical staff,” the AI said as the simulation froze.

The clowns are confused though as the simulation starts to fade and are not frozen either. But given their presence in the conflicting realities the ship and clowns flash out of existence.

[Dapper Dog]

All but one.

"What the hell, bruv?" she said looking even more confused.

[Frankie Reynes]

She walked over to Camilo and Michael Bay and... wait...

"...wot?" She did the pointing spider-man meme thing again.
