Well, that's one way to explain them all leaving at the same time. Glad to hear Zerker and Valentine got to have some fun at least.
I just need to write the history and i'm done with my character.

Martin greeted the breaking dawn by breaking wind, loudly and persistently for a full minute before finally rolling onto his back and rubbing the sleep from his eyes with both hands. With a spluttering cough and a loud groan the old soldier slowly rose up onto his feet and started making his way around the burnt down embers of the campfire, still glowing slightly as the last of the fresh wood from the night before was turned to ash.

Some of the party were already up, sitting around chewing on whatever it was they'd found for their breakfasts, but quite a few were still tucked up safely in their beds, wrapped tightly against the morning chill. "Al'right, you maggots!" He called out at the top of his lungs, swinging his boot into one of the militia members of the Company whose bedroll just happened to be the closest at hand. "Time to get yerselves up and awake. We'll be heading out within the hour and I want this place cleared and stripped by then."

Turning away from the grumbling malcontents Martin made his way out into the bushes to make his morning ablutions before finding his way down to the small stream set a short way from the campfire. Washing himself as best as he could be bothered he strapped his armour into place and made sure his sword was securely in place before heading back to the rest of the party.

Most of the work had been done by the time he got back, the serfs and minions of the Company well versed in the art of breaking camp and already stowing what needed to be taken with them on the old wagon which served as the baggage train for the mercenary group. Stepping over to his bedroll Martin pulled it back to reveal the heavy, iron-bound chest which was the Company treasury.

"Any problems?" He asked, looking up into the tree overhanging his bed. He didn't need to check if she was there, he knew she would be hanging close this early in the day, preferring to wait until night fall to move around on her own.

"Nothing to worry yourself with." The silken voice replied, its every tone sounding like a threat to someone's life. Despite how long he'd known the girl Martin still found himself wondering at time exactly where Nighthawk had learnt to talk like that, and what horrors she'd visited on the people who lived there in the process. And he never doubted she'd been the horror in whatever wild places they may have been.

Hoisting the chest up onto his back, bracing it against his shield, Martin hobbled over to the waiting cart before lunking it down beside the sacks of food and the spare arms. Lifting himself up beside it Martin settled himself into place as he carefully watched the others preparing for the road ahead,
ya I think a stack of 3 sounds reasonable. Infinite stacking is a little strong.

It seems a bit excessive to have her immune to all ground effects. Perhaps give the Trait a power drain of 1 Energy/Turn or something, since she'd be burning fuel to stay aloft?

I'd be happy with that.

It'd limit my 'Up, Up and Away!' Skill a little, I'd have to land and wait to recover Energy before flying again if I used it, but since it's a little bit of a specialised Skill anyway I can't see that I'd be using it too often so the Energy drain shouldn't be too much of a burden.
@Behemoth542

I'm looking for Bumblebee to gain a flying-based trait:
  • Float Like A Butterfly - Bumblebee hovers several feet in the air, making her immune to any ground-based attacks or status effects.

Since she's already using her jump pack I thought it best to make sure it gets counted when the team gets hit by things like the Unbalanced effect we just encountered.

Would 'ground-based attack' be the right phrase to use? What I mean by that is any attack which would use the ground as its medium, such as an earthquake, landslide or pit trap.



Is there anything else I could be doing for the Rest period? Due to Nightingale's help I don't need to recover any health and I didn't use any Energy in the battle so I don't need to Eat.

Could I Train, to gain some XP perhaps? Or attack one of the others for target practice?

Sitting up Bumblebee cradled her head for a moment still feeling a little dizzy either from the force of the impact as she'd hit the floor, from the Bush's strange demise or from whatever it was Nightingale had just pumped into her ass. Reaching down Bumblebee stroked her sore butt for a moment. Yeap, it was definitely the medicine that was making her feel woozy, even though it appeared to have been fully effective in healing her wounds.

"Thanks for that," she called over to the medic, her voice twinged a little with sarcasm but not too much, after all it wouldn't do much good to upset the person responsible for keeping her in one piece.

Taking hold of her controls Bumblebee fired up her jump pack, testing to make sure that the machinery was still working after her death defying maneuver. As the jets fired up Bumble bee was lifted up into the air, hovering for a few minutes before cutting the engine and landing back on her feet with a satisfied grin. Everything seemed to be working just fine, if anything it was working even better after the fall. 'Perhaps I should try smashing into things a little more often?' She thought, chuckling to herself.

@Lekkuen

I see Meltdown as the Reed Richards/Hank McCoy talkative scientist type more than strong and silent, but I do get worried when peopl choose to play such characters in roleplays as they often have difficulty in actually interacting with others when their character never speaks to anyone.
@Lekkuen

Ahh, the strong, silent type that works so well with interactive roleplay.
"Boy my head feels like I drank a Pan Galactic Garble Blaster," he mumbled to himself.

So, like this then:
