Before I get started, does the Mage Spawn team ability work with just one character?

IE do I need to worry about Mantis giving herself free move actions?

http://www.ianparmenter.com/hcutils2...8&w1=x210y-417

The Magespawn TA requires that I pick the character with the highest point value on my *team* to be the "Master" of my Magespawn, not the most expensive character with the TA. In this case, Lord Nemesis will be the Master (though it would have been awesomely appropriate if it had been Black Scorpion), so whenever Lord Nemesis is given a move action, Silver Mantis may take a Move action as a free action if she's within 4 squares of him. All clear?

48-hour notification. Should I ask for a sub to get us started here?

Initial Set-Up.

I'm assuming that the lava terrain is being treated like water terrain for LoS/targeting/moving purposes?

Turn 1a

BoT) Legolas rolls for Leadership...it's a 5. One extra action this turn.

1) Legolas moves to F21.

2) Ryu moves to H19.

3) Oddball moves to H17, picking up the LO along the way.

4) Gimli moves to H18.

5) Ken moves to H22.

Lava terrain is actually considered to be clear terrain for movement and LOF purposes. You can move through it freely, it's just stopping in it that's a really bad idea

Arachnos: Turn 1

The dull red twilight of Muspelheim's infernal landscape is briefly turned as bright as dawn itself as the Destiny Portal tears asunder the walls of reality itself, disgorging into the deadly world an even deadlier cargo!

Stepping through the impossibly bright hole in the fabric of space and time, Lord Nemesis surveys the bubbling fields of unnatural lava like a conqueror inspecting land that is soon to be his, a hint of dissatisfaction audible in his mechanical voice.

"It seems to me, Doctor, that it is unlikely our extra-dimensional attackers hailed from this plane of existence. Aside from perhaps the rocky one they seemed rather... unsuited for life in such a dreary place."

"Erm..." Doctor Aeon clears his throat as he makes a handful of frantic calculations "...it is possible there was a slight... miscalculation. I'll have it corrected right a..."

"Spare it" Lord Nemesis silences the cringing scientist with a raised hand. "There is land here to conquer and enemies to crush beneath my heel. We shall claim this place. In the name of Lord Nemesis!"

A brief moment of icy, threatening silence follows as both Diabolique and Ghost Widow glare at Nemesis.

"Yes, yes, in the name of Lord Nemesis *and* our glorious Alliance, of course" the former Emperor of America grudgingly acknowledges.

1) "'Nough talk" Scorpion sneers. "Time for some crushin'!" Black Scorpion stomps forward through the lava, his armour glowing cheery red in the intense heat. Scorpion moves to C10, picking up a HO on the way.

2) "For once, the brute has the right idea" Widow smirks softly, reaching out with a spectral hand to envelop herself and Lord Nemesis in a blinding flash of dead-light. Widow teleports to H10, placing Nemesis in G10

3) "Ahh... I think I see where the error is. The 9th decimal point is out of place" Aeon mumbles to himself, making a series of quick calculations, even as he teleports himself and Diabolique forward. Aeon picks up Diabolique and teleports to B8/C8, placing her in C9

4) Hissing with anger and discomfort from the roasting heat, Mako carefully advances to I10, feeling very much like a fish out of water!

5) "Ooh, this looks like a FUN place to party!" Mantis' beautiful features light up in a sickening grin. "You always take me out to the best places Ernesto" She grins at Scorpion, leaping from molten rock to molten rock, moving to E8

BoT) Legolas rolls for Leadership...2. Nothing happens.

1) Legolas Running Shots to G17 and fires on Lord Arachnos, 11 on 15...4+6 for a 10.

TTPC?

I'm not even remotely close to having a theme team (such is the price we pay for using substitute dials, alas) so there's no need to pause and ask. Carry on

That was out of habit from the game I'm doing with Leemac. Better safe than sorry, right?

...Black Scorpion (I meant to say him) takes 1 after Invulnerability.

2) Ken moves to E18.

3) Gimli moves to H15.

McCoy clears.
