"Ororo, darling," Sersi says as she grabs the X-Man and kisses a space above her shoulder, "How are you?".

"I am well Sersi and you?".

"Hungover," she replies. Then she laughs as if kidding but Storm isn't so sure.

"I'd love to chat but sadly there's work to be done," Storm says as with that blasts Sandman with a gust of wind.

"How did you do that?" he asks.

"I am a woman of many talents not the least of which is being a so-called 'weather witch'," she replies and then assembles a gust of wind to shield her.

Another femme fatale to replace Frost, Blackfire, with Lucky Break.

Quasar TKs her to F15.

Oracle Perplexes her AV to 11, then pushes to move to G7.

"Greetings from Tamaran, mutant," Blackfire said, catching Xorn off guard with one of her most powerful starbolts.

"If this is how you greet people on Tamaran, remind me never to go there," Xorn said weakly.

"I'd much rather go for the trouble-making Kraven," Captain Marvel said, "but as he's slipped somewhere I can't see him, you'll have to do," he added, blasting Arachne with a cosmic blast.

"Gee thanks," Arachne complained.

"Ororo," Nightcrawler said, appearing in front of her. "It truly pains me to have to do this."

"Stay back, Kurt," Storm said, summoning a gale-force wind to blow him back away from her. "I don't want to hurt you either, but I will if I must. Too much is at stake here."

Kraven outwits Blackfire's toughness.

Silver duals targets Blackfire & Nightcrawler. Rolls 9. Crawler rolls 2 for ss. I'll give 2 to both.

Arachne on Oracle. Needs 5, rolls 7. Wow, Arachne did something!

Tomar Re on Giant-Man. Needs 11, rolls 7.

"For a pacifist that Xorn guy sure gets a lot of grief. Maybe there's something to being a more rough and tumble guy like me," Wildcat says as he pounds Blackfire.

"My apologies X-Man, I take no pleasure in this," the Silver Surfer says as he hurts both Noghtcrawler and Blackfire with his cosmic might.

Arachne sneaks a hit in on Oracle and she falls. "Wow, I get to hit the girl in a wheelchair. I feel like a real hero," she says sarcastically.

"That girl in a wheelchair can communicate with anything through a computer and she's one of the best strategists around. Trust me kid, I'd rather have her with me than against me so ya did a good thing," Wildcat replies.

Arachne smiles, feeling ever-so-slightly better.

Black Canary can't be M9. Nightcrawler's there.

Okay, let's see if I can make this work. First, Nightcrawler in what may be his last hurrah, HSS to G1 to attack Xorn, AV7 on DV12. Gets 9. Good enough to KO him. And I can't say I'm sorry to see him gone. Kurt ends in E4

Giant-Man's going to try to Breakaway from Tomar. Gets 6. With Shake-Off, that does 1 damage to him for the KO. (His Force Field won't work as he doesn't have the prerequisites anymore. Charges to M9 to attack Storm. AV9 on DV16. Gets 8 (4+4). Storm takes 3, plus KB to M5

Giant-Man Outwits harley's Perplex.

Sandman on Canary, AV8 on DV16. Gets 4.

Nightcrawler appeared in front of Xorn again and with one last punch put him out. "There!" Nightcrawler said. "Uh oh," he added, realizing he was surrounded and a little too weary to port out again immediately.

"Hang on Nightcrawler, I'm on my way!" Giant-Man said, batting Tomar Re away with enough force to knock out the Lantern. He ran and leapt off the plane, landing practically on top of Storm.

"Careful!" she yelled at him.

"What? Taking care of two opponents at once? I think that was pretty good myself," Pym said.

The only question I have is on Giant-Man's attack on Storm. They're on different terrain (he on the hanger, she on the ground). You had him ,move off the hanger altogether and in doing so he passes Black Canary who he'd base to get down. Canary is a valid target but Storm, not so much.

The current Giant rules, from the FF rulebook: "This character ignores the effects of characters, hindering, elevated and outdoor blocking terrain on movement." So he doesn't have to stop for Black Canary and he can step right off the plane to get to where he needs to.

This was a big boost to giants' playability.

OK, o knowledgable rule master.

In at F2 is Crispus Allen. He seems a bit of a waste of 197 pts, let's see if I'm wrong. He attacks Giant-Man. Needs 7, rolls 6. Domino rerolls 4. Sigh.

Kraven outwits Kurt's ss.

Sersi tks Arachne to E3.

Arachne pushes on Kurt. Needs 5, rolls 12. Nice. That kos them both.

Harley to F4. No replacing Kurt there.

Dagger comes in at F3 w/lucky break, she'll rs to I4. Harley ups her attack to 10. She'll attack Giant-Man. Needs 8, rolls 3. Rerolls the 2: 3. Yeesh.

Storm to H4.

Dagger shares in Crispus' Mystic ta.

Canary tries to incap Goliath. Needs 9, rolls 5.

Crispus outwits Hank's outwit.

"Not so fast, X-Man," Arachne says to Nightcrawler, "A spider beats a worm any day."

"Maybe in your world, fraulien, but in mine the worm sneaks away," he replies. Just as he bamphs away to safety she grabs him. He teleports wildly as she pummels him. In the end the effort knocks both of them out.

"Interesting. We have a giant and a mutant in our midst. Interesting creatures," Cripus Allen notes.

"Excuse me, sir, but if you haven't seen a lot of mutants and creatures in our line of work, you must be new to it," Dagger says.

"You could say that," he replies, "You could definitely say that."

Harley should be in E4 if she's stealing Kurt's spot. You didn't change her position at all in your summary.

"Imperius Rex!" Namor bellowed, diving down out of the sky at Kraven.

Kraven's jaw dropped. He tried to get out of the way, but the Sub-Mariner was too fast. He landed a resounding blow on the hunter. Even tough as he was, Kraven was shaken badly by the hit.

"Though it galls me to attack a noble fighter like yourself to aid someone like Blackfire, I must," Mar-Vell said, hitting Wildcat with an energy blast.

"Don't worry about it," Wildcat said. "I've taken worse hits from my buddies in the ring. Nothing personal."
