Well, our first session was pretty spectacular. We got sent to the sewers with a bunch of adult heroes to help clean up a rat problem. Rats the size of cats. And a Pied Piper (we wouldn’t learn his name until much later, you’ll see why in a second) to control them. Our group stumbled across him first and the rats went all suicide at us, didn’t care that I was setting them on fire, or that they were getting chopped in half by our Outsider’s sword.
So my Nova Moved behind him and used her next turn to Reality Storm and try to stun him with an electrical shock to the head. Of course, she didn’t use her accumulated burn to mitigate the collateral damage… And she wound up popping his head like an egg in the microwave. The GM was rather graphic as to the results… And I had a LOT of fun playing out Silent Sparrow (my Nova’s) absolutely HORRIFIED reaction. She just stood there staring at her hands while the sewers collapsed around her. Only our team leader (a beacon) saw what happened. It was… It was pretty intense.
Sounds like a great session
Well, she got covered with gore and brain matter and got chewed out by the adult team.
At least she is not like my legacy heroine, Vanguard. I had plans to make her a bold and super confident girl, but right now she sounds like a self centred emoish brat with family issues and with the legacy weight over her shoulders
Ouch. Well, that’s part of being a Legacy. Got the weight of the family on you. My nova’s real regret is that she can’t bring The Pied Piper back to life. She burned her skin trying. I mean I feel bad.
Rats!
I like that it sounds like teenagerhood in real life. You have this idea of what you’re going to do, but it comes out completely wrong and you’re left wondering “Wait, but I only meant to…”
I think that’s why my groups always tend to fail at playing competent adults. We can’t ad-lib that, and we end up like awkward teenagers. 🙂
Danielle Hohensee Your actual regret, wait for what your power outburst might bring to her life.
Beg Pardon?
