She kept kneeling and managed to take the wooden box holding the skull from the safe. Scooping up Fievel, she light the candles silently around her circle. She quietly pressed a police alarm button under the counter. The quiet alarm would send for police without Skylar ever noticing. She scurried to the circle without minimal noise and placed the box and the cat. Before starting her spell, she grabbed for her rucksack too.

"Hecate, dea, mortales tueri intra circulum. Liga nos lumen."

The circle opened and concealed Alyson with a bright light. She didn't care if Skylar noticed either. Her job was to protect the skull, and she would. Her Glamour dropped and she returned to her typical, red haired, self. "You want the skull, Skylar? Try and take it!"

Skylar sighs then pulls his hands out of the loops. He looks at the light protecting her. The only that surprised him so far is the womanly voice. Skylar simply walks outside the place, turns and puts his hands on it. He breaths in deeply then focuses on his hands that touch the building.

The floor shook and cracked beneath Strawberry and Skylar. Lucky for her, Strawberry was safe within her bubble. Skylar had made the whole building resonate with bursting hums. He could do much more damage very easily. The lights then flickered, but not from Skylar's attack, from something else.

There was a laugh that seemed to permeate the entire building. Strawberry and Skylar both seemed somewhat confused. Then, before them, on the counter appeared a small statured creature. He wore a red and blue outfit, and had grey skin. He looked down on Alyson and smirked.

"I am Vittra," it spoke in a pipsqueak growl. "For years, humans have taken my land. Lived on top of my domain. I fought back, as much as I can, but thanks to this man here, Skylar, I am free of the dirt. There aren't many of my kind left, but I will fight diligently. I hate humans," he said directly to Alyson, "but your grandmother treated my existence with respect. I also know that there is great evil tied to that skull, so I will aide you in defending it."

The one-foot tall man turned and glared up at Skylar, "You'll have to get through me to get that skull, mister."

(Vittra

Diminutive Physiology: The character has an exceedingly small stature. This makes the character more susceptible to damage, but also, harder to hit. All attacks used against this character have their odds lowered by one number. (example: Alphas require 7-10 for success) In this case, the character is about a foot tall. - Passive

Mineral Decomposition: The user can decompose minerals upon touch. At Alpha, the user can even decompose synthetic minerals. At Novice the user can only cause rust, at Alpha the user can dissolve minerals after two turns of rust, at Superior the user can dissolve minerals after one turn, at Master dissolving is instantaneous. - Superior 1/30

Teleportation: The user can Teleport to a given location. At Novice Class the user must be able to see the location, at Alpha Class the user must have visited the location, at Superior the user must have a good understanding of the location, at Master the user must know the location exists. - Superior 25/30

Mega Punch: The user can execute a powerful punch that is as strong as ten men. (Average is about 450lbs of impact force meaning 4500lbs for Mega Punch. 900 is enough to cause a knockout in boxing.) - Alpha 10/20)

Alyson looked in shock at the little man. She had known of Vittra from Norse mythology but had never assumed they were real. "Thank you, Nannie," She said with relief. How soon would police be here? This was turning out very strangely, and she was worried she would lose her home.

Skylar puts his fingers up to his eyes and rubs them. “You have got to be kidding me.” His hand comes down from his face and then cracks his neck. He knows this small being isn’t going to be easy to hit so he figures his attacks that hit everything will probably be his best.

Vittra had only a moment to say, "I'm sorry, Strawberry, I disabled your alarm a few weeks ago, the cat was getting on my nerves. I'll protect you though."

A Roar and a Clap sent bits of ceiling and walls crashing to the floor. How long would the Apothecary stand? Vittra was worried he might be crushed, so he attempted to teleport.

Vittra disappeared. He was now clinging to Skylar's back. He knew that Skylar would have to take damage now for him to be hurt as well. Hopefully, Skylar wouldn't notice.

(OOC: Each post you do, that Vittra does not announce his presence on your back, you'll have to roll 6-10 to feel him there)

So many Americans had been cocky and awful, that she felt the doctor deserved it. Worse, she felt oddly similar to the Japanese girl. She planned to surround them.

Epic Loren
Entrance to the Museum
3 PM CET

Azriel and Ike had been milling around the entrance of the museum. They were tooling with a map, but unluckily the entire thing was written in German and they had no clue if there was anything about a skull.

The entrance was somewhat open to the outside and the ground began to rumble. A shadow loomed over the two as a large finger pointed at them. The man was quite large, but not quite huge.

"Fe-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of some villainous scum." Epic Loren boomed as he focused in on Ike and Azriel. "I am apart of the International Superhero Alliance. Taking down scum like you two will definitely bring us the respect we need to ally with the NSS. I know you work for Dr. Weird, come easily, and you will not be harmed!"

(Epic Loren

"Practice, practice," Le muttered to herself. She eyed Overgrowth as new vines sprouted. One looked as though it was going to come near her, but she was able to easily dodge it's advances. I bet she's a distance fighter, like me. Keep them all away. I wonder if I could get a tendril of hair close enough to attack her. Le commands a chunck of hair on the back of her head to make it's way around and through everything towards Overgrowth, but slow enough that nobody would notice it. These are the times I wish I didn't have bright yellow hair. Assuming it will take 5 minutes for the hair to get over there without anyone noticing, Le decided to try the Hair Hammer again for added distraction.

Aquilo pressed his hand to his ear.

"Nimo, do you read me? Our current objectives are as such: Collect and protect your charges, make your way to the entrance of the prison, avoid or incapacitate any opposition."

That was awfully detached…

"Be careful, if you can't handle the situation I'm not too far away." Aquilo said as he exhaled.


"Prosper let's get to the entrance. It shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes. Keep an eye out for guards and cops."

Tolpki opened his eyes, he experienced a bit of vertigo, not quite losing his balance but unsure of his footing.

Before he had time to understand his setting a scene unfolded before his eyes. A small woman composed of beautiful plant life was assaulting a pair.

One was a young woman who seemed to be using her hair to fight back against man sized vines.

The other, well the other gave Tolpki chills. It was Dr. Weird, his target. There was no mistaking it.

Tolpki walked calmly toward the fray.

Vittra was a bit displeased that Skylar had caught sense of where he was. Usually the on-the-back technique works quite flawlessly. Now If he tried it again, Skylar would probably catch on. He clung tight as the vibrations kicked in. He needed to make a slick escape, and hope that the Apothecary would hold up for another moment or two.
