Jean's got to make an attack roll if she wants to TK Bones. He won't go willingly.

Oops ...Jean rolled a 10. I thought I'd put that...yeah otherwise Robin's move would be...well, suicidal. You don't need the extra help at this point.

Leadership: 2

Penguin Perplexes the HDC Trooper's AV to 9.

Trooper attacks Catwoman, AV9 pm DV16 +1 for hindering. Needs 8. Gets 9. Catwoman takes 2, loses Outwit and Echo gets her BCF back.

Echo attacks Robin, AV10 on DV16, needs 6. She gets 5 and Robin gets a break.

"What's the matter with you?" the Penguin complained, whacking the cop with his umbrella. "Shoot her!"

"I'm trying, I'm trying!" Kelso cringed. Eventually, he got lucky and one of his shots tagged Catwoman.

"There!" Penguin harrumphed, "now was that so hard?"

Angel on Echo. Needs 8, rolls 4. Dang...I just need to defeat SOME of your guys...

Catwoman, already useless and one of the few times I've ever used her, attacks Echo. Needs 9, rolls 6...

You're missing the 2 damage to Catwoman in your summary.

Bones Leads:4

Bones to E22

Shrike attacks Jean. AV7 on DV15, needs 8. Gets 8. Jean takes 1 more.

Penguin attacks Catwoman, Perplexing his AV to 9. AV9 +1 for the PD TA on HDC Trooper against DV14 +1, needs 5. Gets 9. 2 to Catwoman. (I need a little of this luck over in our Murderworld game)

Penguin Masterminds to HDC Trooper. Bones Masterminds to Shrike, then uses Protected if Shrike goes down.

"Catwoman, my dear, I'll never know what possessed you to side with these mutants when I have so much more to offer you," the Penguin squawked.

"Like what? Herring? No thanks."

"You mock me at your peril." The Penguin's tone turned from cordial to icy in a tick. He whipped his umbrella around and fired a shot from the tip of it at Catwoman. She grunted in pain as it hit.

Robin attacks Mr. Bones. Needs 6, rolls 7. Strike is down.

Jean attacks Mr. Bones to tk him. Needs 9, rolls 9. Wow!. She'll tk him to A24 again. All this is doing is prolonging my agony...

Robin clobbers Killer Shrike with a surprise, stealth kick.

"Strike!" Mr. Bones yells and turns to him.

"Enough of you..." Jean says thrusting Bones away.

"Stop doing that, Jean Grey, it's both annoying and predicatable. Surely you have more style than that," Bones says.

"Not really," Jean replies, "But I seriously don't think I can do that again," she whispers to Warren.

"Hopefully, Jeannie...you won't need to," Angel answers.

Hooray, you got someone down. Now you've got at least 27 point to use to save somebody for next time. Still missing Catwoman's damage, though.

Won't bother with Leadership. I won't use it this turn.

Penguin Perplexes up the Trooper's AV to 9.

HDC Trooper on Catwoman, AV9 on DV14 +1. Needs 6. Gets 5.

Echo on Robin, AV10 on DV16, needs 6. Gets 11. BCF roll is 3

"Echo is it?," slinks Catwoman, "I have the purrrrrfect distraction," she says as she stratches through Echo's costume.

Before she can respond Archangel is upon her with an upper right cut. "Sorry, I hate to hit ladies, really. There are so many better things to do with them."

Catwoman looks at him, "Boy you think you're something don'tcha, wings?".

"I AM something, kitty," he responds in total self confidence.

Leadership: 6

Echo will push to hit Angel, AV9 on DV14, needs 5. Gets 9. With CCE, Angel tales 4. Echo takes 1.

Penguin attacks Catwoman, Perplexing his AV to 9 +1 for HDC's PDTA. Against DV12 +1. Just can't roll 2. And he gets 12. Now that's just wasteful. Catwoman's way gone.

Bones back to E22.

"I'll say you're something, pretty boy," Echo said. "A punching bag." A flying leap into the air, a quick kick, and the Angel was hurting badly.

"Tsk, tsk. Too bad for your side," Mr. Bones said, returning to the fight. "And if it's all the same to you, Red, I'm getting pretty tired of that tossing me in the corner game."

"You know what?" she retorted, "Tough."

Meanwhile the Penguin fired off another shot from his umbrella. This one finished Catwoman off. "Pity that," he shook his head. "I could have used someone with her skills in my organization."

OK Angel pushes to attack Echo. Needs 8, rolls 10. Wow...a lot of good rolls in this game. 1 to her. 1 to him.

Robin attacks Echo. Needs 9 again, rolls 7. Ah well...
