"Elektra dear. Let's not let the boys have all the carnage to themselves", Selene then winks at Elektra and whispers softly in her ear, "We are more than brute force, aren't we?"

Elektra twists her hand. "I know about you vampire and I'd as soon slit your throat as any opponent. Let's get this done."

Selene laughs demonically, not at all put off, "Yes m dear, that was my point. Shall we?"

Yes, a failed breakaway still counts as an action, so Brainiac would take the extra point and with 2 clicks, which should lose him the Outwit.

Scarecrow will attack Despero with his Exploit Weakness (not Quake). AV8 on DV17, needs a 9. Ooh he rolled 9. 2 clicks to Despero (It's sad when Scarecrow can do what Rhino can't). Scarecrow takes a point for the push.

"So, my alien friend," Scarecrow said. "Are you afraid of me?" He swung his scythe. It was barely able to nick Despero's hide, but the chemicals coating it seeped into Despero's system through the tiny cut. In Despero's mind, the Scarecrow grew to twice his stature and took on an even more terrifying appearance. Scarecrow grinned behind his mask as he saw even this mighty opponent flinch.

Despero will attack Scarecrow. Needs 4, rolls 5. 3 clicks to Scarecrow.

Selene will tk Elektra to J13. Elektra will attack Rhino. Needs 3, rolls 7. Uses bcf rolls 5. 5-2=3 clicks to Rhino.

Argh! I keep thinking it's 3 moves per round not two. For the last round only Despero's move applies.

It's a bit late to go back and redo things now, but it dawned on me that when Despero attacked Hyde a few turns back, you had him do 2 extra points for a heavy object. At the time he made his attack, Despero was still on his first click, so he still had Psychic Blast, not Super Strength. Honestly, I never had very high hopes for this last round, so it's no big deal. Just finishes things up faster so we can move to the next thing. Let's just push on.

Rhino will attack Despero. AV9 on DV16. He needs a 7 to hit. He rolls an 8. Damage is 2, +2 more for CCE, but Despero gets an Impervious roll. Which is a 1. So 4 -2 =2 more clicks to Despero. At least I'm making a dent before I crash and burn.

We are rushing through this one, aren't we? Not even many story posts...!!!

If I'm right about Despero and he had attacked without the weapon (since he'd have no s.s.) the damage would still have been 4 so to quote Joey on Friends , it's a cow's opinion, a moo point.

Selene will tk Elektra to K14
Elektra uses bcf on Rhino. Brainiac will perplex her damage. Needs 2, rolls 8. A hit. BCF roll is 2. Minus 1 for toughness. Plus 1 for Brainy's perplex. 2 clicks to Rhino.

Elektra sneaks up upon Rhino, quickly but determinedly in his sight.

"What are you gonna to ta me, half naked girl. Thong me to death?"

"Not quite" she answers and pulls out her sai.

Theirs is a poetic dance of brute force vs. agility. Despite his best efforts Elektra's sais proves deadly. Blood is drawn through armor.

"You witch...you pierced by lung," he yells gasping for breath.

"Yes...I was aiming for your heart. Maybe next time."

"Maybe. But it'll be hard to do with a horn through the noggin."

Can't Perplex up a BCF roll. You can only perplex a printed stat, so you can up her damage, but the BCF roll replaces her regular damage stat, so it would override the Perplexed value. Besides which, Brainiac's Line of Fire is blocked by Scarecrow and Despero anyway. AND (sheesh!) Rhino's still only on his second click, so he's still got Invulnerability, not Toughness, so Elektra's sai glances off his tough hide, doing no damage. Sorry.

Scarecrow will try to hit Brainiac 5. AV6 against DV15. He needs a 9. Gets an 8. Real close.

Scarecrow himself was starting to panic. This purple alien was a dangerous enemy and hit hard. Poor Tetch was down, and what he did to Mr. Hyde in one blow gave him the shivers. He decided it may be best not to antagonize him any further. Instead he tried to butt Brainiac with the end of his scythe, but even basic Legion training would have been more than enough to block such a clumsy blow.

Argh! Switched Brainy and Despero positioning again.

Now Brainy will perplex up Despero's damage to 4.

Despero will attack Rhino. Needs 5, rolls 6. 2 3s. 4 clicks to damage minus 2 for invulnerability=2 clicks damage. Knocks him back against the wall at J14 but his toughness absorbs the damage.

Brainiac 5 will attack Scarecrow. Needs 6, rolls 11. 1 click to Scarecrow.

I think we can start thinking about that massive 300 points teams of all teams game if you are still interested. We'd need to figure out which teams we want to include and how to divide (should we divide down the middle half Marvel/hlaf DC, divide heroic teams first then villainous or jus have at it?)

As Scarecrow charged Brainiac 5 he turned on his force field. The Batman enemy fell back in pain.

"Lost some straw there, Scarecrow. Maybe it's time you went back to Oz," Brainiac states laughingly, "That'll teach you to mess with me."

At that same time Despero knocks Rhino into the wall without any effort at all.

"You talk too much, child," Despero grunts, "You don't know what real power is...I AM real power."

Brainiac 5 gulps audibly.
