@King crimson I'll be putting 1200 exp into Mari's martial, and the rest into Roxy's Martial.
To think, that this could have been Lex.
...heh.To think, that this could have been Lex.
Aaah, God Lex, we shall miss you.

EDIT: Prior to the XP spending, Mari had Martial 32 with 400 XP progress. So... 3600 XP is actually too much, as 35 is the cap when it comes to XP spending.
This is also the first chapter to be written while I'm not on anti-depressants. As such if you detect a sudden shift in ton or style now you know why. I've got one and a half more events after this (meetings and data/video distribution) there will probably be an interlude and then I'll update the character pages and move on to turn twenty. It's good to be back in action and I hope you all enjoy what's yet to come. Superman is almost here and things will really get rolling.[X] [Aftermath] Write-in: Make use of your control of the police to have it seem as though you were investigated while shifting the blame onto others and smear Sinclair Batson's name as much as possible to make him look like a deluded schizophrenic who just happened to get lucky when getting past the guards. Also provide full medical care to the victims while secretly gathering data to determine how they were injured.
Ah my bad, I had looked for the sword in general and not specifically the dcau
I think the quality dropped but I'm tiring finally so that would explain it. I think I only have one more in me before i close my little personal marathon
On it@King crimson I'll be putting 1200 exp into Mari's martial, and the rest into Roxy's Martial.
Also on it. I'll be formatting yours and DreamCWeaver's spending to be optimal (you pay forward for Mari, then he pays what's left and then donates from the remaining pool of 1200 to Roxy's Martial)@King crimson I would also like to put all my points in Mari's Martial.
The final number ends up being something like 2,000 minimum since unlike something like The Death of Abin Sur there is no defined endpoint and it can drag out further and further. I currently have about 5 omakes loosely planned based around either past events in Gemworld or semi-current events in that realm. Amethyst hasn't returned there yet but I assume her time there will take at least another five interludes and then it might go on for even longer. As such I can't say an exact number of how much it will cost because how long it goes on for is dependent on background rolls which I don't control. You cannot purchase all of the Gemworld omakes that there will be now since there will be future events that qualify for another omake (Like if you buy the Batman adventures one I can't tell you how many there will be because it can go on longer or shorter and I can't predict how future things will play out).@King crimson: Out of curiosity, how much XP would it take to complete the full set of Gemworld interludes? I'm not really sure what getting them all will accomplish, but it would be neat to mess around with Gemworld stuff later on.
I really wish there was some kind of gate for super-high Martial, like "you need to have actual powers" or "you need to spend several actions training to be a Badass Normal." It would just feel less... weird to me, for some reason.Between you and DreamC we actually could have gotten Lex to Martial 21, he even has reasonable motivation to strengthen himself after the mess Lexpo became. Between security being brought down and having to go into danger, Lex improving his personal strength isn't weird.
Poor Mercy.Sinclair Batson had clearly done something, since he could consistently put people in comas they didn't recover from and while it seemed his ability was very short ranged it still didn't answer how it worked or how it could be defended against. Director Prince had theorized that the attack was psychic in nature or was an extrapolation of magic. Unfortunately until they had more analysis of what had gone down they couldn't actually figure out a way to defend against it. The fact that at this point in her life Mercy was having to come up with defense mechanisms against psychics was frustrating since it just wasn't something she was equipped to deal with besides the ever dependable "shoot the fucker before he does anything".
Hm, you have a point. Dr. Isley's been a bit unstable in her loyalty lately and might leave a bad impression. Maybe we should assign her to some plant actions so she calms down or something? She might very well have already 'asked to be assigned' the way hero units like Dr. Helfern do, except for super-loyalty.Meeting With C.C. Haly subvote
[ ] [Meet] Lex Luthor
I'd still prefer Lex meeting him.
Hmmm. I think we can drop the 'shipping' thing since Polkolistan is a random country that borders on basically... Russia and that's it. I think the 'inform' thing is likely to result in confrontation. I hesitate to offer him kryptonite because the only thing we know it's good for is a power supply and we already know he has something that good because otherwise he wouldn't be able to work with things like Red Rocket Brigade armor.Meeting with Avruskin subvote
