And if no one comes in contact with it in more than 15 minutes, it respawns in public somewhere so no one can hide it.

It was me I admit it! I one starred it 5 times.

(did that happen today? )

lol I use this all the time. Never thought about posting it. Good Job!

Cuppa liked the idea and forwarded it to the proper people. I think they are looking at it.

Suddenly restored to full health, and my end returning I quickly bounded dropped an Ice patch knocking those foes around me to the ground. I made a bound away from the gate toward the way I came and landed in another group of foes. I stomped the ground and emitted a frozen circle of energy that froze nearly half of them. I then bounded off again toward Moon Base Beta. Soon we had out distanced the 5th column troops. But I continued traveling as fast as I could, to keep as much distance between us and Moon Base Alpha. Rather than getting tired I was regaining energy at an astounding rate thanks to Essex.

Fully restocked with inspirations I head out toward the original Moon Base. I check my orders it says I need to find and interrogate 25 of the 5th Column. The 5th Column... I remember them. Way back when I first came to paragon I fought a few. I had thought the Counsel took them all out. I seriously doubted I would see any 5th Column members there, let alone here on the moon. I skirted what I’ve discovered as the more dangerous areas for wild foliage, so I only had to fight a few of the plants. Before I made it to unknown territory.

After a while I found myself at the edge of a huge crater. I sensed danger within its confines, from the rim it looks like a huge overgrown Jungle. I shuddered to think of going down there without support. I traveled along the edge of the crater for some time until I was able to head toward Moon Base Alpha again. Soon the foliage started to thin out and give way to rubble-strewn ground. Man-sized boulders were everywhere, and they were surrounding boulders as big as houses, with a few boulders bigger still.

As I passed a boulder from out of the ground popped a dozen or so Igneous. They were upon me in no time. It had been a while since I last fought Igneous, but I had a few more tricks up my sleeves this time. I quickly laid down Ice Patch, and looked for the biggest one to take out first.

I saw 3 that were bigger than the rest, and one that was just huge! Before I could attack it, it hit me with a bolt of energy, that nearly stunned me, and took out a nice bit of my health. I quickly hit Build Up and hit it with Block of Ice, I then ran forward and hit it again with frozen touch. I love it when a plan comes together. I was a ways from my ice patch so I stomped Frozen Aura. To take care of a few of the minions. I noticed that I was being slowed by cold attacks and was taking a lot of damage from the 3 elder monsters. I decided that the big guy was the most dangerous threat so I continued to attack him. I hit him with Air Superiority and Frozen Fists I then struck him with the awesome might of my Greater Ice Sword. Ice Patch came back, and I threw it down. It might release a few of the minions around me but hopefully it would keep a few of the Elder Igneous off my back while I took care of the boss.

I ate a purple as a precaution along with a few reds. The boss came out and zapped me again with some sort of energy (radiation?) attack. He then followed through with an over hand smash that nearly brought me to my knees. This guy could put out the damage. My health was starting to turn red, so I hit Dull Pain. And waited until my attacks came back. I thought to myself two can play the slow game and jumped back a bit to get everyone into my vision. I then hit them with my one and only Area of Effect attack Frost. That slowed them down a bit but not enough, at least they were still bouncing around. On my ice patch. I backed into a House-sized boulder, so the Igneous could only attack me from the front and threw another Ice Patch down.

The next thing I see is a giant arm reaching out of the rock to hit me along side of the head. What the heck?!! I turn and see another dozen Igneous coming out of the rock like it didn’t exist. I decide that enough is enough and eat a few greens and back off as quickly as possible but before I could get very far I was hit with another of those energy attacks and stunned. I hit a break free, but now I’m taking huge damage from every one including the minions. I eat the last of my greens, and all four of my remaining lucks. I try and put my defenses back up but, I’m fading fast. As a last act of defiance I take out the original boss creature with a Block of Ice. I’m then hit by the other boss and knocked to the ground. I hit the recall button just before I fade from consciousness.

I find myself back in the hospital. A technician is telling me Congratulations you are the first Hero to use the Hospital.

Great, just what I wanted to be known for. I told him I hope you don’t inscribe that on a plaque or anything.

As I was leaving the hospital I over heard a conversation that made me turn red.

First staff worker: “Hey that’s Golden Ace!”

Second staff worker: “the one you were telling me about?”

First staff worker: “Yeah! I’ll bet you twenty bucks you’ll see him again within the hour.”

Second staff worker: “Your on, it’s a bet!”

I stormed out of the lobby. To Admiral Tarkin eating and deleting any inspiration that I don’t think I’ll need. Admiral Tarkin asked me if I had any news yet. I told him not yet I’m heading out now. I bought a bunch of lucks a few greens and some break frees. I was pissed and was going to make them pay. As I got to the crater again I calmed down somewhat. And thought about a plan to take them out. Rule one: No more going near the large boulders! Rule two: If two groups get aggravated then use a break free right away. Don’t wait. After a long march I made it back to the area. I was looking forward to this. I skirted the boulder and saw the first group lying on the ground. I attacked. A minion with Block of Ice. The entire group ran at me as they got close I hit an Elder with Frozen touch. And threw down an Ice Patch.

This battle went much more smoothly. I was able to hold two of the elders almost permanently while I attacked a third. Once the Elders Igneous were gone I made short work of the minions. I then walked over to the boulder and threw down Ice Patch next to it and backed off. Sure enough a bunch of Igneous were coming out of the rock. I spotted the boss and hit him with Block of Ice and Frozen touch. I kept him that way until he was dead. He crumbled to bits as I hit him with my Greater Ice Sword. The rest of the group was easy, once I got rid of the elders.

My watch went off, an hour had passed since I left the hospital. I smiled to myself knowing that I had just cost that technician 20 dollars.

I cautiously made my way toward the base skirting the large boulders and any group of Igneous I found. I heard shooting in the distance, and the cry of the Igneous. Someone or several someones were fighting the Igneous. Maybe a hero needed my help?

I rounded a boulder and saw a group of soldiers fighting a group of Igneous. As I closed in on them I noticed that they were indeed 5th Column. I attacked the boss Igneous and Froze him with a combination of Build-Up, Block of Ice and Frozen Touch. I then stomped my foot and a wave of cold energy emanated from me freezing half a dozen Igneous Minions in my Frozen Aura. The column and I made short work of the remaining Igneous when they pointed their weapons at me.

“Who are you?” demanded the Lieutenant in charge of the patrol?

“I’m Golden Ace. How did the 5th Column get up here?” I responded.

“A hero! Kill him!” Snarled the Lieutenant.

I quickly threw down an ice patch and froze the Lieutenant, with a Block of Ice. Then started taking out the minions I kept the Lieutenant held until I had finished him off, I then finished the rest of his men. I had all eight defeated in no time. I searched their unconscious forms for any information. Then continued onward toward the base. I found two more groups and took them out as I was traveling onward. Once I was near the base I saw that it was not the same base as was described to me.

It looked like a mini fortress. I wondered how close I could get to the entrance. I needed more information for Admiral Tarkin. As I got close to the gate I was surprised by another patrol. I took them out as quickly as possible but the alarm had sounded. I did a quick search of the men and found a folder written in German, it appeared to contain plans of the base along with a detailed history of 5th column operations here at Moon Base Alpha.

I quickly tucked the folder away, and prepared to depart when I was cut off by several advancing patrols. I stomped the ground and let loose a frozen aura freezing half the men surrounding me. I then worked my way past them and found myself at the gate. I threw down Frozen Aura, and hit dull pain to recover my health. I had to make it away from the gate! My way was still blocked, and I was taking damage fast. There were way too many men for me to handle. I glanced up and saw Essex next to the gate. Essex! Help! I shouted!

((I'm confused. Is this still a theoretical zone thing or did it turn into an open RP?))

OOC: Open RP based on the Moon Zone. feel free to join in. I love the Ideas a lot of people are coming up with. I might go back and have cuppa edit the original moon hazard zone with a few of them. I think my first post was not all that clear.

After a long harrowing journey and several battles with those damnable plants, I arrived back at Moon Base Beta. The Admiral was busy speaking with someone so I waited patently until he was finished (Ok I wandered around the outer compound instead of waiting patently). A few doors caught my eye. The first one said “Beta Hospital”

I went inside to investigate. Everything was state of the art (realizing the amount of money spent up here it had better be). I overheard a few of the Hospital staff talking about how they were quite pleased with the teleporter’s function.

First staff worker: “It works just like the one in Paragon City.”

Second staff worker: “Oh that’s right you worked in Paragon City before. Did you see a lot of heroes? I heard that you can’t go to the store without running into a hero or two.”

First staff worker: “Yes you see them all the time, they are everywhere, but they are pushovers, if one is in your way you just push them out of the way. After a while you don’t even notice them anymore. The hospital gets kind of redundant though; all you usually see are heroes. We take bets on how many times a hero will appear. I won a bundle on this guy named Golden Ace a while back. 5 times in one day, he set a record that no one has beaten yet.”

Upon over hearing my name mentioned in the conversation, I decide to take my leave of the hospital. The conversation brought back some memories of a few years back when I first discovered the Malta, and Sappers. That reminds me. I hate Sappers. I hope I see some up here. I so want to ki—ah... apprehend another sapper right now.

As I exit the hospital I turn to the right and read the next signs, the first says Enhancements, while the second says “Teleporter to Space Station”. I decide to check out what kind of enhancements are available and see if I could get rid off a few I picked up out in the jungle. Ever since I joined the SG I never seem to have enough on hand cash anymore, so I take every opportunity to sell my hard earned enhancements whenever I find them.

My first thought was Wow all 5 types of enhancements were sold here. I walked over to the guy that sells Mutation enhancements, and sold him a few SO’s. I had 4 of them. I then sold a few science and technology enhancements to the science and tech guys.

After selling all my Enhancements for the most influence I could get I couldn’t help but notice the lady that sells the Magic enhancements. She was “Hot” she looked a lot like Serafina. I wondered if they were related. I start up a conversation, and next thing I know I get slapped and changed into a pumpkin. She then rolls me out the door. After a minute I change back. Yes definitely related to Serafina, touchy like her too. At least SHE didn’t roll me in front of a passing truck.

*makes mental note not to use that line on her again*

I should have known better it didn’t work on Serafina either.

Come to think about it, it hasn’t worked on that many people. There was that half demoness empathy defender, that fallen goddess, and that red headed blaster though. Ah those were the days.

I was about to go into the “Teleporter to Space Station” building when I noticed that Admiral Tarkin was waiting for me. I walked over to him to see what else he had for me.

Admiral Tarkin: “Golden Ace that was some nice work, you helped slow the encroachment of the hostile plant life. I appear to have a problem that I think you can handle. I need you to investigate the original Moon Base. We have been getting strange reports from the area. I need you to explore the base and see if you can get a report back to us. I heard one crazy hero say the base was inhabited by the 5th column of all things. Be careful, if you find the 5th column I want you to interrogate a few of them and get as much information as possible for me. Watch out for the Igneous they are running rampant in that area. My patrols also need more help with the hostile plant life encroachment. Both missions are important.

I tell Admiral Tarkin that I will investigate the original Moon Base. I buy a few inspirations from him and head out toward Moon Base Alpha.

any chance at all of getting the AOE on Taunt upped to 17, or 10 instead of 5?

That's my line!!

Vote Gold! And Vote Often!

wow you have some great ideas Petrograd. I could see CoT on the moon with the way you explained. Thanks for the support.

I want TP Foe to be able to work too. so you can be sneaky.

interesting, have you tried reversing the order?

/bind <key> "powexec_name placate$$emote Fades into the shadows"

My understanding is that a bind will activate the last command first then the previous in the command string.

I would slot one attack for knockback only.

If greifing is a problem for the big red ball, then use the technology from sirens call to track it across the zone like it was a bounty target.

Awesome Idea! although a big Gold ball would be better.

sorry red.

NOOOO!!! It must be Red!

Fixed if for you.

I want a big red ball in every zone now after reading this.

Give it some kind of odd objective beyond just knocking it around. Maybe some goal posts somewhere in the zone?

[/ QUOTE ]

there you go. perhaps an entire field? on second thought put the goal posts on both ends of the zone. perhaps a special award if you make a goal in every zone? Exta knock back in your attacks?

shouldn't blasters feel the same way about rooting affects

The Rooted in all powers (except snipes) should be removed.

Heck the dev's could even play a game with this. Hide the ball someplace, and see if anyone can find it. for myself I would do my darn best to place the ball on top of the highest building in the zone some morning at 2 a.m. I wonder how high it would bounce then?

I traveled onward. Exploring as I went. I was looking for the meteor craters and anything else that was interesting along the way. I still couldn’t get over the fact that I was on the moon. Jumping in the lower gravity was exhilarating it was like having a mini super jump on at all times. As I took off at the next jump, I spotted something glinting in the distance. I changed course to investigate. As I got closer I could tell it was metal. It was a downed satellite. It appeared almost fully intact. How it survived the landing I’ll never know. As I got closer I saw some letters on the side they looked Russian.

[You have earned the Cosmonaut Badge]

It looked like it had been there for a while. I wondered how it had gotten here, and for how long it had been here. So many mysteries, How did the satellite get here, how did this pocket of atmosphere get here on the moon, who or what caused all this? I noticed that I was close to the wall of the Sea of Vapors. As I looked at it I could spot a crevasse along the side. I went to investigate.

The Crevasse was small. I was surprised that I was able to spot it from the satellite. As I traveled deeper into the Ravine it widened. I spotted some sort of strange structure in the distance. It was a large black Monolith. I circled the Monolith, looking for an entrance. I could find none. I wondered if it could be on top. There was an outcropping of rock just below the top of the Monolith; it looked like I could reach it if I jumped to the top of some rocks nearby.

I jumped to the rocks and propelled myself toward the out cropping of rock. I made it but barely. From here I think I could reach the top of the Monolith if I timed my jump just right. I ran and jumped just as I hit the lip of the outcropping. I soared threw the air, and just as I reached the apex of my jump I cleared the top of the Monolith. I had made it.

[You have earned the Monolith Badge]

I was right there was an entrance to the Monolith, unfortunately I could not get it open. It looked like I needed a special code to open it. Just my luck, I discovered an alien artifact, and an entrance to the artifact and I can’t open the darn door. I decided to head back to the base, perhaps my contact had something else for me to do, and he might know something about the Monolith.

Awesome Idea! although a big Gold ball would be better.

sorry red.

*Squeezes*

Feeling like a new man from the regenerative light that emanated form the hands of Essex, I wanted to thank her for the help but she seemed preoccupied with something, and flew off on thrusters. Unable to fly after her, I started toward the next group of plants. This time I was wary, of the vegetation, and knew some of the dangers involved in battling them.

I selected the next group with care, and hit an Ent with a Block of Ice from a distance. I backed off and watched them come. I picked my targets carefully hoping to split the group. Once the main group was away from the jungle and any possible electric vines, I attacked, this time I took froze and took out the toxic spewers first. I kept the minions and the Ent at bay with Ice Patch, while I took care of the toxic spewers. I was quite pleased with how the Ent would bounce around on the Ice Patch. After the toxic spewers were taken care of I turned my attention to the Ent. With Build Up and an application of Block of Ice, and Frozen Touch, I had myself a nice Ent-cicle. Before I knew it I had finished up that group and several others, completing my mission. Earlier I had seen some meteors falling in the distance, I decided to investigate, perhaps I would meet up with Essex again. I looked forward to the company.

Oh thank you! Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
