Powers Quest (Original/The Gamer) [Sort-of Hiatus]

.1.40.6.
.1.40.6.

"A classic of your mortal music!" You sound exultant, sinking deeper into the ham. Mmm, ham. "Of course!"
{Perception roll = 89 + 31 = 120 = Ultra mega basically unimportant success!}
Out of the corner of your vision, you can see Mina filming from behind a wrecked, overturned dumpster, camera steady in her hands - she must have taken a while to sneak around to a good vantage point - and make sure not to focus your attention on her. Better she stays unnoticed.
{Singing roll = 73 + 33 = 106 = Magnificent succeeeess!}
Back straightened, you perform a flourish, tilt your head bang - and start belting out Eye of the Tiger.

Yeah, it's more impressive than it sounds.

The powereds watch you for a few seconds more, Armory looking impressed (the Golem is hard to decipher, but it is staring at you without attacking, so that's a plus), before snapping back to their fight, Armory charging into to slam his massive hammer-shaped forearms into Golem's leg (causing a grand total of 8 HP loss); in turn, Golem tries to hit him with the car it was holding.

Well. That's them sufficently distracted - Armory is clearly fighting a losing battle as Golem continues to trash the area in an attempt to crush him; thus far, its slow movements prevent it from landing a hit, but the damage Armory causes is negligible, and he's clearly growing tired. Oh, and Danger Sense levels up once - you're at a relatively safe distance, or it probably would have gone faster.

As you approach the end of the song however, you

[ ] snap back into dramatic opera.
[ ] restart Eye of the Tiger from the beginning.
[ ] insist on the powereds or a hiding civilian picking another song.
[ ] casually walk away - they should have evacuated by now.
[ ] start shaking down the hiding civilians for their wallets/jewellery.
[ ] Write in.

A bit of a waste of a token. Let's use our remaining two for magic and mad science later.
 
Did we get Skill improvements from all this insanity?

Opera is life.
 
I can't believe the rolls passed that well.
It's a fairly low DC. Mina wasn't that well-hidden, and Singing Eye of the Tiger isn't exactly rocket science.

Your phone is still in your hoody, which is with Mina (it won't fit under the armour).

A bit of a waste of a token.
There'll be in-game social effects from it, later on.

Danger Sense levelled up, Singing improved slightly (it was only one song) as did Observe.

[ X] casually walk away - they should have evacuated by now.
- The most metal non-metal singer vanishes into the mist (broad daylight, on a straight city road), his objective accomplished. The loss of accompaniment saps the vigor out of the fight and Armory and Golem awkwardly leave off.

[X] Look for hiding civilians and help them evacuate

Singing, miming, seemingly doing good; it's only beginning. More fans leads to more money, for evil!

We should get business cards.
