That roll still hasn't come to my email, sometimes the pbe roller is weird that way.
13A:

12B:

Luke continued to give directions.
“We can’t worry about Kraven right now, let’s try to take down Sandman.”
Iron Fist focused his chi until a glowing ball of energy surrounded his fist. He swung hard at the swirling mass of sand in front of him feeling the energy from his fist burning through the tiny particles. Sandman was stunned from the blow and Luke followed with a hard kick to the middle o the mass. Sandman was able to open his middle mass to let Luke’s leg pass harmlessly through.
“Torch,” Luke commanded into the headsets. “Try to finish it.”
Human Torch scorched a trail across the docks landing in a small dingy near the water. He fired out two streams of flame, one at Sandman and the other at Kraven. The hunter easily avoided the flames but Sandman felt himself melting away into the calm waters below.

“Do something.” Black Knight said to the Nurse. She had already attempted to attach a sling to his probably crushed arm but the medical supplies had been insufficient to create a bandage long enough to wrap around his arm. Sweat poured from her brow as she scrambled through her emergency field kit. “These guys are superheroes,” she thought to herself. “Morphine has to help.” Quickly she grabbed two pre-filled morphine syringes and jammed them into Knights neck, the only place she could see skin. The drug coursed throughout his system renewing his vigor and pumping his adrenaline skyward. He shook with power knocking the Nurse down in the process.



Leadership is a 6, remove token from Fist and +1 action.
1) Fist will try to EW on Sandman 11 vs. 15, entangle roll is 4, attack roll is 4,4=8, hit for 3 +1 knock back afterwards for 1 more.

Oops, forgot to adjust Black Knight hp, editing now.

We can probably stop now if you want, since I'm just going to retreat off the board and I don't think there's anything you could do to stop me and KO either of my characters.

13B:

Seeing Sandman wash away into the water and merge witht he sandy soil at the bottom of the pier (swiftly carrying Rhino's body off with him as well) made up Kraven's mind. Shocker had been helped back to the submarine by the retreating Taskmaster, so he only had to worry about himself. He ran and leaped from the high tower and dove into the water, making a fast escape down the river.

1) Kraven leaps into the water and swims to J7.
free) Kraven outwits Torch's running-shot.

2) Calypso moves to A9

3) Taskmaster pushes to retreat off the map.

Luke Cage and Daniel Rand watched angrily as the submarine, (SUBMARINE?! Where the hell did they get a Submarine?), disappeared below the water. Danny knew that the machine wouldn’t be able to submerge very deeply given the shallow depths but he also knew it would be futile to chase after Kraven and his crew.

“Let them run, they been stopped.” Luke commanded his team.

Luke took stock of every member of his team trying to gauge their reaction to how the battle had played out. Human Torch and Black Knight were setting up a perimeter while their new medical professional stood nearby still shell shocked at how quickly and violently each turn of the battle progressed. She had managed to bandage up Black Knight rapidly enough to get him back into the battle but was obviously reluctant to approach the always angry Punisher to render any medical aid to the man even while he remained unconscious. She glanced up at Luke and he motioned her towards Frank. Still reluctant she made her way to the unconscious man and began performing medical checks more relying on her muscle memory and training to guide her while her as she attempted to wrap her mind around what had just occurred.

Frank grunted as his eyes fluttered open. It took him a moment to realize Linda was trying to help him before he shook his head no at her and struggled to his feet, determined to maintain his distance from these people. Linda gathered her supplies and began inventory.

KA-BOOOOOM!

Luke and Danny had been discussing options for tracking down the Sinister Six when the sudden and loud noise reverberated from a nearby shipping container. They looked at each other confused and immediately leapt to readiness. Had the Sinister Six somehow managed to set up a trap for them?

KA-BOOOOOOM!

Louder this time something inside the shipping container was trying to get out. Massive dents began to press out from inside of the locked double doors, each accompanied by the same banging sound.

KA- OOOOOOOM! KA-BOOOOOOOOM!

The shipping container rocked over to one side, then settled back on it’s foundation.

“What the hell is in there?” Luke whispered under his breath fists clenched and ready for anything.

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The Heroes for Hire looked on in awe as the locked steel doors ripped off their hinges and flew backward away from the container. The smell. That would be what Danny would later remember the most in the moments immediately following the shattering of the container doors. An odor drifted from inside the dark musty container and drifted along, carried a light breeze that caused it to waft over their entire team. Linda began gagging and dry heaving as the other Heroes winced in disgust. Only Frank Castle seemed unaffected by the terrible odor simply cocking his HK-5 and aiming strait into the blackness.

Tense but ready none of the Heroes were prepared when an empty whisky bottle came flying from out of the shadows, shattering against the nearby shack.

“Well, that’ll be the last of it.” a slurred voice was heard saying from inside. A few moments later they could detect slight movement as the shape of a man began to form becoming more visible as he walked, more appropriately stumbled forward. The man squinted up at the clear blue sky and held one hand over his eyes trying to shield them from the penetrating glare of bright sunlight. His appearance was grungy to say the least. Old sneakers, tattered jeans, and a stained white t-shirt were covered by what used to be a khaki colored trench coat, now streaked brown with grime and dirt. The only remarkable thing about the man was the slightly glowing star that seemed to be growing out from the center of his chest.

He looked at Luke and Danny bleary eyed. “Been in there for 3 weeks, long trip from Madripoor.” The man mumbled almost to himself. “Next time more liquor.”

Suddenly the Heroes for Hire became acutely aware of what had caused the horrible odor.

“Who are you?” Luke warily glancing at the recently destroyed steel doors of the shipping container. “And why were you in there?”

“Who am I?” The man’s eyelids fluttered as if trying to remember something from the distant past. “They call me The Captain. I have a real name. “What was it again?” He seemed more capable of mumbling to himself than try to carry on a conversation with anyone in particular. “Captain Ron? Captain Universe? Captain Kerosene? Whatever, who cares. Where’s the bar?” he asked regaining focus on what seemed to be his primary goal and looking past the team of heroes towards nearby New York buildings.

Confused Luke and Danny relaxed only slightly as he wandered across the dock and slump down on a pile of pallets rubbing at his eyes trying to adjust to the sudden light. “What the hell are we going to do with him? He seems dangerous.” Danny said pointing to the now open shipping container.

“Dangerous?” The Captain perked up a little. “Yes I’m dangerous! That’s why I’m here! This is the land of opportunity and I’m here for work! Work makes money. Money buys beer!” With each statement he pointed at nothing in particular in mid air creating a perfectly logical sequence of events in his own mind.

“Who will you work for?” Danny said.

“Whoever pays me.” The Captain replied resting his head in his hands once more.

“What kind of work do you think you can do here?“ Luke asked curiously. “There isn’t much call for ripping open shipping container doors.

The Captain looked up and a slight grin appeared on his face. “That was nothing, watch this.” In one swift motion The Captain flew strait up into the air grabbing his recent home. He flew up and spun a tight circle then came shooting strait down crushing a second stack of similar containers which crumpled under the attack like stepping on a shoebox. “Hard to hurt too. I’m sure someone needs my talents. It‘s because of the aliens.” At the last statement he winked at Linda and tapped the star on his chest as if that explained everything.

“I don’t think we can leave him here. We can’t take the chance of him working for Dr. Octopus or Fisk.” Luke said voicing what Danny was already thinking. “I think we gotta offer him some money, take’em with us, and keep and eye on’em.”

Danny nodded quickly in agreement. “First we need to get that guy in the shower first though.”

“What about you hot stuff? You wanna take a shower with The Captain?” He said as he leered at Linda who turned quickly in disgust to avoid his gaze but was unable to avoid the sound of his creepy cackle that followed her as she headed towards the van.
