If you're going for baseball references, how about Off base for Echo's advantage? :PScene 1: Busy Night in the Big City

Not to be the "rules" guy, but if Echo is creating an advantage, a tie should create a boost, instead of a success with consequence, right?https://fate-srd.com/fate-core/four-actions#create-an-advantage
"When you tie, you get a boost instead of the situation aspect you were going for. This might mean you have to rename the aspect a bit to reflect its temporary nature (Rough Terrain becomes Rocks on the Path)."
Of course, the silver rule says to ignore the rules if it'd be more fun, so feel free to ignore me. Just making sure I'm on the same page

OOC:
I will invoke the I've got a Plan aspect, as I imagine that, with Vitrius's heightened intelligence, he saw that something was off on Echo's trajectory and used his attack to push Fastball back on the right course. I will also use a Fate point to invoke Lovable Trash Talker like this.Echo latches on to Fastball's hoverboard, and, in mockery of his baseball theme yells, "And she steals the base!" as she rips it out from under him.

Foolsmask, when you get a chance can you let me know the aspects/free invokes as you see them? I think we've used all of the relevant ones, just want to make sure I'm not missing any. One of the major disadvantages to PBP is that they're not all sitting on the table to pick upLast edited April 10, 2019 5:45 pm

OOC:
Yeah...you were right about the tie. You were nice and polite about that so I don't mind you pointing things out like that. But the boost would have been to the next roll, so Echo's answer works out better in the end. I reviewed it and I agree it looks like all the free ones are used up except the one Echo just created by using I have a plan...so the only As[ect with a free invoke is Fastballs\'s Off Base. I will figure out a method to track this stuff. At the table there would be a list or pile of index cards to look at. So what about a Forum of Current Aspects. I will have some rules for how to use it.

El Toro waves and gives his bright red cape a dramatic flourish before disappearing in an explosion of rose petals. Then starts running down the street, trying to be as invisible as possible (Ghost in the Shell optical camouflage style) while trying to catch up to the truck and the others.

It takes El Toro a moment but he catches up to the others, though using his illusion powers to be invisible, no one has realized it yet.
OOC:
I don't think you really needed to roll for moving just to catch up. Don't worry about the small thingsApr 11, 2019 11:00 am

A tie. I could invoke off base to make it decisive, but I think I'm ok with him having the boostLast edited April 11, 2019 11:06 am

Virtrius is frustrated that he's lost track of El Toro, but sees a clear path to ending the fight and decides to take it.
"It's three against one and we've defeated your allies without a scratch," he says, playing off the attack on Echo. "You're outnumbered, outgunned and without hope. Surrender now before we really have to hurt you"
With darkreaver's permission and if it'll make a difference I'll use the free invoke on off base to improve it

Would Echo be able to hold her turn? Like, see if he surrenders and attack if he doesn't?Apr 11, 2019 3:10 pm
El Toro, from his hidden vantage point agrees that a surrender would be in everyone's best interest. He'll lend a hand to make it an easier choice for Fastball, creating an illusion of a lot of police, sirens and such rapidly approaching their location. It's a pretty big illusion for him, so he'll have to concentrate pretty hard to make it happen.
Creating an advantage, The Cops are Coming
(Which of course he'll add to Vitrius' mental attack)

Fastball hears the sirens and stares down Vitrius for a moment before he ducks his head to hide his eyes from the hero, striking the classic pitcher pose...
But then he puts his hands high, up over his head. He looks defeated. The crowd cheers approval of the heroes victory. Three blocks away you see the armored truck has stopped and the driver is looking back at you. He waves then gets back in making to leave.
"Fine, I surrender..." Fastball says. "...but you're just gonna let the prize get away? That doesn't seem very smart. Oh, and uh...who's got Slapshot and Blitzer?"
And yes, Echo can hold her turn like that with no issue. You can still act if you want.

OOC:
So Vitrius got a 6, El toro added +2 to that with his police sirens. Fastball only got a 3. That seems like enough to get him to stand down, but you Succeeded with Style there Vitrius, so you have some sort of bonus to claim.And yes, Echo can hold her turn like that with no issue.

Seeing that the fight has come to an end, Echo takes a moment to finally extract the hockey stick from her shoulder. Working her injured arm out of the sleeve of her jacket, she tucks the end of the sleeve into the ruined edge of her costume, covering up the more risque view of her exposed flesh. With the obstruction no longer stuck inside of her, the flesh is slowly beginning to stitch itself back together.
Seeing the driver react that way, she turns to Vitrius. "I'll keep an eye on screwball here, if you want to see what's up with the driver."

Vitrius shouts to the driver, "You need to stay! That truck is not safe to drive in its condition, and the police will need a statement"
Vitrius scoffs at Fastball's pathetic distraction attempt, as he pulls some zip ties from his pocket and binds his hands and feet. Still, a flicker of doubt crosses his mind, and he expands his senses to make sure all is well back at the original scene of the crime.Edit for Darkreaver's post:
Seeing as Echo's wardrobe malfunction is dealt with and there aren't any further threats, Vitrius dismisses the dress, reforming the glass used into large shards floating next to him at ready. He looks visibly calmer - controlling that many particles at once was straining him, even if he wouldn't admit it.
"I'll head over and apprehend the others, you keep and eye on the driver and the perp here"

Rolling investigate +8 with my super sense, but I'm not sure the appropriate action. What I'm trying to do is listen for the general mood of the crowd there and if possible see if Slapshot is still on the ground where we left him. I don't think there'll be a way to check on Blitzer specifically with how my power is described, I would have needed to tag him somehowSeeing as Echo's wardrobe malfunction is dealt with and there aren't any further threats, Vitrius dismisses the dress, reforming the glass used into large shards floating next to him at ready.

One of the illusionary police cars arrives at the scene. Now that it's closer everyone can see the shield on the car is El Toro's bull shaped lucha libre mask. He steps out of the car and they all start to fade away, the sirens all dying down as well. Flashing a big grin at Vitrius he says, "I took care of Blitzer. He's not much of a danger to anyone without his suit."
Apr 12, 2019 2:22 pm
Vitrius stares in disbelief at El Toro
"If you're here, who is watching Blitzer? He's not a danger, sure, but he could still run"

Diego shrugs, "A few people in the crowd stepped in to make sure of that. There was a spider lady at least. It's no problem."
