Vivian is with the rest of the Coffee Squad, quietly taking notes as she has been doing up to this point. She's also waiting for some sense of what to do.

Beau seems super chill with this whole situation. Robert opens to cooler he's been carrying. "We packed sodas and sandwiches. Anybody want some?" He looks in particular at the remaining guards.

[Sorry for the wait folks! For Tam, yes, I think his portals are 500 feet, and for AlaricBloodhunter, dunno how long you've been off but the group has split into two parties; the Lemonseeds, a highly funded and organised 'terrorist' group fighting for honesty and freedom, and the Coffee Squad, an underdog force aiming to keep the status quo and stop the Lemonseeds. The Lemonseeds are currently robbing a bank, looking for information, and the Coffee Squad has tipped off the police on this attack, so they've been sent in to seach.

Yondor, good luck with everything, you're always welcome back whenever you're free and I'll be more than happy to catch you up on anything you miss!]

The Lemonseeds

As things seem dire in the bank, Henri decides to simply go up and attack the approaching officer, yet misses his blow severely. Charles then tries to salvage the situation with a choke attack, but also fails. The officer, now having identified the threats, and now in danger himself, obviously calls out to alert the other 3 officers inside the building, who rush to attack. Initiative has began, the Lemonseeds go first! Roland sees this and decides that now's a good time to try and use his power; he puts his fingers to his temples and strains really hard, blocking any psychic powers that may be occuring. Meanwhile, Arnold runs forward and punches the nearest officer in the gut, looking to incapacitate, not kill, as the cop's ribcage and arms splits into strips and then tightens back around him, tied into knots that leave him both winded and unable to attack: 5 to hit, the officer is incapacitated on a hit.

The Coffee Squad

The situation outside is far less tense. The remaining officer just continues to guard the door and turns away Robert's offering, saying 'Thank you, but that may be tampered with.' There's no signs of any internal disruption just yet.

The Lemonseeds

Arnold's punch is near perfect and the approaching officer is now a knotted pile of flesh on the floor, but this doesn't seem like it harms him physically, though he does look severely ill.

Everyone is still up!

*Would the Coffee Squad be able to hear the commotion from where they are? Would they notice something's up after seeing the other officers rush inside?*

Tam's going to portal behind the guard by the backrooms, and then run to cover.

*Would the Coffee Squad be able to hear the commotion from where they are? Would they notice something's up after seeing the other officers rush inside?*

 [Not quite yet. The guards went in to make some checks and then the combat started, so there's no signs as of yet. However, on the officer's turns they'll radio outside and you'll be alerted. Sorry if it's not too engaging as of now but it should pick up!]

Charles backs off and says, "Oh well, then." He places his robot on the floor and activates the weapon. Full turn. 

Liam sits in a hammock under some trees in a small park area nearby, watching the action unfold in real time. His mouth is slightly open in gradually increasing shock and interest. 

*If anyone forgot his power, which is fine cuz I've barely used him so far, it's essentially see-through-walls type of thing. There's some more details to it but that's not too terribly important right now.* 

Raymond is taking a wall, as he isn't really involved in anything at the moment due to me being gone last weekend

Henri, seeing how poorly he did and how off balance he is decides to handle this differently. He takes off his knuckle dusters and claps his hands, trying to send one of the guards as far away from the building as he can while keeping them safe. 4

*Uh oh*

The Lemonseeds

Tam slinks through a portal and appears behind where the guard was originally, now free to roam, as Charles sets down his robot. Henri then teleports away a guard, but doesn't really have a location in mind. All he can formulate is 'away' and 'safe'. So that's what happens. The guard has been teleported somewhere safe, that's away from here.

I'm gonna say that Cal isn't present here at the moment, perhaps T-Block took some extra precautions to keep high risk individuals inside, considering Himy hasn't been online here in a while. Means that there won't be any more disadvantage which is a plus, along with the fact that I think that means everyone's had their turns now. I didn't realise how small the Lemonseed team had gotten but shouldn't be too much of an issue in the near future.

It is now the guards turn!

Status
Officer 1 (Condition: Restrained, Health: Full, Power: Creates Invisible Psychic Barriers): He was the guard blocking the entrance behind the teller's desk but is now restrained in a knotted pile of flesh. He gains some form of composure and shouts to Officer 2 that 'My wall is down, they have a blocker of some sort! Don't worry about me, report back to the rest of the team!'

Officer 2 (Health: Full, Power: Unknown): He hears Officer 1's cries loud and clear and radios the officer outside, saying 'Terrorists are in the building and have begun their attack! They have a teleporter, a portaller, a psychic blocker, somebody who has split Officer #104 into harmless strips but left him incapacitated, and a man with a robot that appears harmful! Back up required!'

Officer 3 (Condition: Blinded, Health: Full, Power: Creates Marbles from his eyes at the cost of his sight): This officer rushes to the scene and gets about 10 feet towards Henri when something bizarre happens. His eyeballs fall out, and roll on the floor as if they're made of glass, when suddenly, hundreds of small, colourful marbles start pouring from his skull. In a 15 foot square area around the officer, a creature moving across the covered area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn't need to make the save. The marbles are quickly starting to spread (the area covered increases by 5 feet a round), yet he now seems to be blind without his eyes.

There are also 4 other people in the room: A nervous bank teller, a tall, elderly lady with thick glasses and a shawl wrapped around her, a middle aged man and his young daughter. All have been directed to gather in an office from a safe distance, and are nervously peering out at the chaos through the window of the closed door.

Everyone is back up! Arnold runs up to Officer 2 and punches him, aiming to wrap the strips of the man's body around themselves and incapacitate him too: 10 to hit, Officer 2 is restrained on a hit.

The Coffee Squad

You're all outside, practically twiddling your thumbs, when the Officer guarding the door gets an alarming call asking for back-up. The Officer swears as he mutters something about the units being spread too thin, then looks to you all. He says 'This is highly unusual to ask, but we won't be able to get any back up officers in quick enough, so we need to ask the help of any willing civilians. You seems dedicated to your cause however, so I am trusting that you can help assist us deal with these terrorists and see what their motives are. I will tell you this now though, your aim is to incapacitate, not kill. Any deaths caused by you will be considered murder and you will face the full power of the law if that occurs' He then turns and runs into the bank, the doors swinging open for you to enter behind. Sam looks on at this nervously, seeing as he's not at all a fighter, but murmurs 'Well, if this our chance to fight back against crime, then guess we've got to do it!'
 
If you choose to enter, you all enter combat and can take your turn!

Officer 2 isn't restrained as Arnold's punch misses, whilst Roland maintains concentration on his psychic power blocking.

*Beau and Robert will be a bit. They're pretty casual about this.*

Vivian produces a folded-up cloth in their hand as they rush in, letting it unfurl into a makeshift sling. They see Roland concentrating on something, and assume he's focusing on some sort of power. She conjures a cherry-sized billiards ball to use as ammunition, and uses the sling to chuck it right at Roland's chest- mostly in an attempt to break concentration.

*I think this makeshift sling would count as an improvised weapon, so I'm just going to have a +1 rather than the commoner's default +2)

15 to hit, 3 bludgeoning damage.

Charles points his robot at Officer 2. He rams into the man with his robot and turns it, taking it towards Officer 3. Dex save 4 If success, they both need to make Dex Saves, if fail, only Officer 2 does. On a fail, Officer 2 takes 11 bludgeoning damage and falls prone, and Officer 3 takes 7 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 10 feet back, into his own marbles. Charles then runs to the middle of the room and shouts, "Everyone stop, NOW!!!" His robot's weapon starts to whine louder, almost as if backing up his point. (Intimidation: 14)

3 rounds remaining until it starts doing fire damage >:)

Vivian's sling misses, but Charles manoeuvres his robot round to strike Officer 2: 20

The officer just fails and is dealt a pretty concussive amount of damage. It's unclear whether it's the strike or the fall that knocks him unconscious, but he now is. The bot then screeches round but tips over onto its side when it hits the marbles, its wheels grinding and groaning as they spin. Charles then runs into the room and calls out for everyone to stop, to which Officer 5 retorts 'Men, hold! What are your demands?'

Initiative is temporarily halted.
