Turn 5a

CRACK......RATTLE....BOOM........

Without warning, the floor gave way beneath the feet of the Heroes for Hire. As they stumbled to regain their footing Box took advantage of the confusion to swing a heavily armoured fist at Jessica Drew. “That’s for Scott” he grunted as he caught Drew clean under the jaw knocking her senseless to the floor.

Aurora used the confusion to move clear of the battle and took a moment to regain her senses. She did not think she could do much in her current condition but could not leave her stricken teammates.

James Hudson tried to land a hit on Ravage but completely failed to connect with his punch.

Wow....quake roll = 1,1.

That does 3 to Jess Drew, 3 to Kazar, 2 to Ravage and 3 to Arachne..

Box will perplex up his damage to 4 and try and KO Jess Drew. 9+1(alpha flight ata) vs 15+2. Rolls 6,1 = 7 for the hit, 4 damage and KO. 1 SA, 1 KO to Box.

Aurora will fly to J19.

Weapon Alpha will try and hit Ravage. 7 vs. 16+2. Rolls 2,1 for a clear miss.

Wow! At least I’ve got some points on the board. Still don’t think it will change the outcome at this stage, but at least it gives me a bit of incentive!

Ouch that'll really turn the tide, since it also got rid of Arachne's ranged attacks and Ka-Zar's Charge.
__________________________

Before they realized what was happening, it was too late. The tower was falling apart, and part of the floor gave in right under the Heroes for Hire. They all quickly scrambled to get away, but let their guards down for an attack. Box smashed Jessica's jaw with his fist as she tried to get her footing, sending her into the air from a powerful uppercut. Jessica's limp body was blasted backwards and fell right into the gigantic hole. She was gone forever. The others would've helped her, but they were buried under falling rubble.

"Jessica, no!" Screamed Ghost as he watched her fall into the belly of the building.
"First Tarantula and Mantis are killed, then Shang-Chi is burnt to a crisp, and now Jessica..." He snarled. "You'll ####ing pay for this!"
If the Heroes had been holding back, then they weren't any longer. Ghost rushed through the air with his sword out in front of him, slicing through the debris that had landed upon Ravage. He didn't hesitate at all as he swung his blade and sliced Weapon Alpha's head clean off. He grabbed the head before it could fall onto the floor and held it like a trophy.

Turn 6B

Ghost soared around the room, slicing the rubble and debris off of the Heroes, freeing them for their next assualt. With a nod, they ran off towards Box, surrounding him on all sides. Meanwhile, Ghost sought out Aurora who was trying to flee. In a flick of his wrist, he had another head added to his collection.
Ravage now approached Box, the last one standing of their foes.
"Why did you do this?" He said angrily. "You ruined our lives, and killed yourselves in the process. Now you're the only one left to see the damage you've caused. Well, not for long."

Facing seemingly insurmountable odds, Bochs made the tough decision to withdraw and try and recover. Twisting free of his enemies he raced across to the central teleport device (?) and recharged his armour. As the volts poured through his system, he took a moment to consider who he should target next....

Can assimilation be used on my (the opponent's) turn?

The text says "once per round"...so bearing in mind that I went first, my reading of that would be that if i used it on my "turn" I could not use it again that round. If i don't use it on my turn (11a for example) I can use it on your 11b...

Never really noticed that before! I was thinking it had to be on my turn similar to other free actions like perplex and outwit, but then PC is a free action and that can be used on both turns...so taking the text literally I assume I can.

That being the case, as soon as you knock Box onto one of his assimilation clicks, he will absorb the adjacent LO, before the next attack comes in!
