Thousand Miles teleported into the first of the danger room simulations with a *peng*. He appeared to be wearing his costume from the Sakura Red video that had recently gone viral: a formal-looking tuxedo with a white mask and bow tie.

Quickly he scanned the room for possible dangers (not for nothing was it called a danger room, after all), then looked over at his teammates to confirm that they were ready.

There is a mountain in the distance, they are standing on a beach with the ocean behind them and the island seems tropical in nature. There is a resort town, and it seems beautiful and idyllic. It looks like a location in the pacific, but nothing specific and the language seems to be Japanese.

And Bea appeared. She was wearing her usual hat, blouse, kerchief, and skirt. Her cowgirl best.

"Oh hey, Miles. You are looking sharp! Do you know what's the trouble here? I don't immediately see anything bad."

“Shit, that looks real… nice tuxedo,” Lil Disaster said as he materialized into the scenario.

"Hey, LD! I think we should be ready for anything. I could start scouting out from this position if you all think that's a good next step."

ADINA materialized and said, “Welcome to this island resort.” There is a loud sound, like a massive explosion and the mountain in the distance is now smoking and much of the top is blown with bits of flaming debris and molten rocks raining down on the resort.

“There was just a volcanic eruption, it is up to you to try and rescue people and protect the locals from the natural disaster. Good luck.”

Lil Disaster is hit with molten rock and rubble and slammed into a building with searing burn scars. He is completely surprised by the pain and the severity of the impact.

OOC: Please make Dodge checks at DC 15 or take +8 damage so DC 23 if failed and DC 19 if succeeded. Lil D Dodge check | 1d20+7 ⇒ 11 and Lil D Toughness check | 1d20+8 ⇒ 13 Lil Disaster is Dazed and at a -1 to more toughness checks.

(Is this physical damage? Bea has a reaction/immunity that kicks in for physical damage.)

OOC: Yes this would be physical.

“Shit, that looks real… nice tuxedo,” Lil Disaster said as he materialized into the scenario.

"Thanks, I'm liking the fit," Miles said, preening a bit at the praise. Then the volcano exploded and rocks began falling. Miles attempted to dodge them, but a rock clipped him on the head, leaving him staggering.

“We need to rescue the people,” he gasped. Despite his injuries, he looked around with his Thousand Mile vision for people in need of help.

Thousand Miles can see a large group of people at a hotel resort, the building was struck with lots of molten debris and there are perhaps fifty to hundred people needing aid from the growing fires. There is also a school about a km in the other direction that was hit hard and students are trapped inside.

He can also see lava coming down the mountain.

"There's a hotel on fire down there with people who need help," Miles reported, pointing in that direction. "And a school with some kids trapped inside over there. The hotel's on fire, so is probably more urgent - can you two get there, or need help? I could maybe teleport one of you there...."

He took a step but looked really woozy. "Whoa, maybe I need a minute to catch my breath," he admitted.

Bea turned instantly to a swarm of bees - psychic in nature - and the debris did not hurt her.

She looked worried by the harm to her friends, and the danger the people were in.

"Do either of you have a way to redirect the lava flow? Creating a trench? A wall?" She was still bees. Her voice projected from one of the bees, with a slight buzzing quality.

"We need a safe place to evacuate them, once they are safe from fire and before the lava reaches them. Miles, do you see a boat anywhere? At sea? On the property?"

"LD, could you open up a wall so the trapped students could get out? I could survey, find them all, confirm a safe wall to open with no kids right behind it? Maybe get a teacher to help evacuate them?"

"We might need something similar at the hotel."

Lil Disaster stumbled towards the group and wiped blood from his face and said, “I can blow a wall and possibly a trench but, I can’t be in two places at once.”

"Let's have Lil Disaster explode a trench that turns the lava aside," Miles suggested, as he took cover and tried to catch his breath. "I do see some safe spots to evacuate to, if we can get the people there. I can teleport people out of the hotel and school one at a time ... but there's a lot of them, so it may take some time."

OOC: going to take 1 minute to recover from being staggered while the group talks over our options

She nodded.

"Do the trench first," she agreed. "If the lava is redirected, even for a time, that gives us more time to save everyone."

"I can find the best place to free the students and mark that wall for you. They should be safe for the moment. We can get a count. Be ready."

"Miles, at the hotel, you might be able to see if they have a fire alarm that can be pulled, if it hasn't already? Might trigger fire suppression. And yeah, start getting people out. I can join you there after checking out the school, and help find the people, figure out who needs help."

"Oh, and LD, look for the marked wall on the side opposite the volcano. We want them evacuating with the cover of the building between them and falling debris."

“Got it,” he said, “So blow up a trench, easy.”

He gets to work on making the trench with glorious explosive power. But it will take several minutes to make anything large enough to divert lava flow.

OOC: Thousand Miles can see what looks like a cloud of gas and debris rushing towards the town it will hit the school first before the hotel. And then their group.

“Change of plan,” Miles said. “Some kind of volcanic gas is heading right at the school. We gotta get them out first.”

“Want to come with me?” he asked, holding a hand out to Bea.

-
Miles will teleport to the school - with Bea, if she’s willing

"Yes! Let's get that school evacuated. Maybe we can find a path through the debris, or clear at least one way out."

Her plan is that once he teleports her there, she will do her rapid searching super simultaneous senses power to see everything in the building, get an immediate count of students, teachers, where they are, what's getting in the way of them getting out, which one bee can report to Miles.

With Miles’ injuries it takes two hops to teleport them there, but he dropped Bea off then started locating children to teleport to safety.
