"Do you see them out there," Tin asks Storm.

"I do indeed," she replies.

"That Heat Wave is one tough cookie, I'd love to pound him into..." Tin says.

"No pounding tin, not yet, I have more subtle means at my disposal," Ororo says.

"Wha---? What the hell is going on here?" Heat Wave asks as a sudden cyclone lifts him up and slams him to the floor. He immediately rises to use his powers only to be hit by a torrent of rain, making him wet and hard to concentrate. "I'll get you out there, I know this is some kind of trick..." he yells into the rain and wind to something he can't see.

That's a push for Storm.

Heat Wave can shoot her back now. Probably won't hit, but he can try. AV7 on DV16 +1. He'll use Energy Explosion. On the off chance he gets a 12 he can hit Lead & Tin for 1 too. Gets 6. Not even on a good day.

Heat Wave spied Ororo through the storm. "I'll get you for that," he said. He tried to shoot flames at her, but her downpour doused them before they even came close.

"I suppose I shall have to save your hide," Felix Faust said, and with a gesture, summoned up a curtain of red energy that blocked Heat Wave and Crimson Cowl from their opponents view.

Actually it's not a push for Storm, I gave her a token last time but she was actually tked to her present spot.

See fro 3/1/08 20:50 post:

Not much to do here, Mento tks Storm to H7 where she hides all stealth-y.

Knowing this you might have a different move for Heat Wave. I'll let you check on it before I move.

Ah I see. Well, Heat Wave would have targeted Lead & Tin instead and missed just as badly.

Little I can do here.

Mento tks Flash to N12.

Flash moves 2 to O14 to attack Cowl. Needs 7, rolls 8 ( 2 4s). Cowl gets kb to Q17 and Flash ends at K7.

Wasp flies Hulk to L7, she's L6.

"C'mon Hulk, let's mosey forward a bit," the Wasp says.

"Hulk not mosey!" the behemoth yells, despite his protests he follows the diminutive Avenger.

"Time to shake things up a bit, people," says the Flash as he twirls the Crimson Cowl's cloak until she falls flat on her face.

"You'll pay for that---" she says as she gets up, "Where'd he go?". The Flash however, is long gone before she even speaks.

Flash is moving through Faust's Barrier to do that attack. He could go around the Barrier and attack her, but he'd have a lot less movement left. And besides you have him running over water to get to his final position, which may be comic accurate, but in game terms, he'd have to stop when he hits the water, like any other hindering terrain.

Missed that that was water. Flash ends at I6, 9 square movement total.

Also changing Hulk and Wasp's positions.

Still don't get how you could get Flash back to I6. Don't forget you also have to contend with Faust's barrier. If Flash is going to get to Crimson Cowl, he can't go from N12 through the Barrier to O14 to attack Cowl. He'd have to go around.

N12 is the farthest you could TK him. Faust's Barrier extends to Q13. To get to Cowl, the shortest route would be N12-O12-P12-Q12-R13-Q14. That would only leave him four squares left to retreat.

Here's how I see it and you correct me if it's wrong.

Flash is tked to N12.

Flash moves 2 spaces to O14 (in between the barrier), attacks Cowl. Now he has 7 spaces to move, so goes to K7. Yes?

Ah see, once again, you can't slip in between Barrier squares. Even at diagonals, they're considered one continuous piece of terrain.

Pass on Flash and Mento's moves:

"Time to go lend a hand Bulldozer," Dr. Polaris said, sending him forward on a wave of magnetic force.

"I'll flush out that weather witch," Bulldozer said, running at her.

"Will you?" Storm asked. Bulldozer found the ground under his feet covered in ice. He slipped and aborted his attack. It was all he could do just to keep from falling.

"I guess someone's got to go bail him out," Crimson Cowl sighed.

"Yezzz," Queen Bee said quietly. "You go do that." She flew up and used her powers on Heat Wave to make him want to protect her with his life.
