Lance seems woozy, but an anger seems to have grabbed hold him. "Get. Out. Of. My. Gym!" He rears back and tries to headbutt the masked man. Lance's forehead hits the figure's hard, plastic mask, but the invader stays standing, if a bit off-balance.
Marv increases the difficulty of all Intellect and Cunning skill checks until the Critical Injury is healed (Average [PP] Medicine check). Also gets a boost next round.

That missed attack may have saved Lance's bacon! 3 more PCs are up! Hank and Max are 2 moves away from short range to Lance and the bad guy, but if you have some sort of ranged attack, that may be enough. Marv is two moves away from the edge of the building by the front door, or one from the skylight if he wants to zip-line down with an Easy Athletics check.[ +- ] Initiative

Hank charges through the gym, leaping over a lifting bench and shoving gawkers out of the way. He arrives just in time to see Lance smash his head into the leader from the van. Even so, Lance looks worse for wear, and probably can't take much more.
"HEY! You bootlicking, sucker-punching, technicolor freak! You look like a Play-doh dildo in that stupid mask, and we're going to shove that toy so far up your ass you'll be able to jump start cars with your toothless mouth!"

"Aww, what? No takers?" Marv snaps his fingers in disappointment and sees the shattered skylight, making a beeline for it. As he does he notices the rope leading down into the gem and grabs ahold of it, not slowing for a second as he leaps into the skylight, doing a 180 degree spin so he can do a rapid hand over hand descent. "Just like gym class!" He says to himself as he lowers himself down.

Oh dear. Remnant, Max can try to catch Marv if you'd like to use your turn doing that. Average Athletics check with a boost, since the rope has slowed him somewhat. Otherwise, Marv's about to take a fall from Short range (10 Wounds and 10 Strain, minus Soak)...

"That's now proper procedure..." max mutters before swearing and moving from the Mayor comically trying to get into position to catch Marv.

Since that's a Marv-catching failure, can we spend a story point to say there's something available to break Marv's fall? Like that happens to be where the wrestling mats are stored? Rolling my coercion for the taunt...
Wow... I didn't think there was any way I'd get that. I'm going to use the advantages to heal a couple strain. I get the feeling I've got a cattle-prodding in my future...

Max gets a hand on Marv and manages to slow him slightly, but the other man is moving too fast to catch. He crashes into the mat, joining the three other bodies on the floor who tried that same trick.
Fortunately, the encounter is nearly over, so even if you're unconscious, this is probably the last turn or close to it.
Somebox, you're up!
OOC:
Just a tip: If there's anything in this game that will kill you, it's falling damage. :/ Luckily, Soak applies. We'll use the two advantage (1 for Marv, 1 for Max) to reduce the falling damage by 2, but this fall does 8 Wounds and 8 Strain. Soak is subtracted from both. If that puts you above threshold on either, Eskaton, let me know.Fortunately, the encounter is nearly over, so even if you're unconscious, this is probably the last turn or close to it.

Just saw Kermit's post! If y'all want to spend a SP to place a convenient mat to break Marv's fall, we can do that. Let's say it absorbs as much damage as necessary to put Marv right at threshold but not over. Also, don't be stingy with the Story Points. It would have been perfectly acceptable to use them on both the descent roll and the catch roll, since both were pretty life or death!Jan 12, 2020 1:55 am
Marv sails over the edge of the skylight and spins gracefully in the air, reaching out for the rope to help slow down his fall, but he's misjudged, and the graceful spin turns into a panicked flail. "Oh... oh shit! This isn't like gym class!" He's falling, trying to twist so his head doesn't take the brunt of the blow. He sees Max below him just in time to fly straight through Max's arms and land with a crunch on the ground. "Hnnnnggg." He groans, "My spine."
OOC:
I've got 4 soak so I take 4 and 4, putting my strain just under the threshold (I took away the strain I had been planning to spend my advantage on to use it to reduce the damage I take falling). Why is it in every ttrpg falling is what kills players? Haha!Jan 12, 2020 2:45 am
"Mister Collisto are you going to be okay?" Max asks taking a knee.
"Also I'm unsure if there's a live feed going..," Max saves quietly next the the downed companion.

"It's... Marv..." He says between gasps of breath as he rolls over and struggles to his hands and knees, clutching his back with one hand. "If there is, did they catch that sweet fall?"

"Oh my God, this is so making the 11 o'clock news." Loretta fishes out a bottle from her bag and tosses it to Marv. "Take these. Looks like you need 'em."

Marv's fall has the mayor looking increasingly concerned. "Is the threat passed?" she asks?
