"MARK!!!" screamed One with the Wind, seeing the gigantic green fist crushing on the bionic kid.
Calling upon the might of the Spirits of Wind she was able to make Gigawatt's attack aim true and deflect the first, ferocious punch by the Hulk, but all that rage was too much to constrain for the forces of Nature itself.
Nothing alive could have survived that blow, but Mark wasn't technically alive and, somehow, he was still moving. His thin body was torn to bits, sparklyng cables where showing trough the cracks and a large quarter of his face was missing, revealing a robotic skull... but he was still in the fight, thank the Spirits.
In the very same moment, the beast seamed willing to hold back for a second, gathering his inhuman strenght for a new assault.

"Now's the time, Barrier" she wispered to his comrade with the voice of thousand breezes "You can strike him from this far right? Just relax and trust the Wind"

----------[Strategy]----------
Focusing Outwit on the Hulk's defense and Perplex on Barrier's Damage we should be able to bring him to his relatively soft 9th click, then he clears, we blast him at full power in his toughness click and Outwit his offensive powers when the smoke clears.
-------------------------------

----------[Gameplay]----------
OwtW clears
PC for Barrier's attack (I think he's the only one who can attack this turn) and no need for PC in enemy turn since Hulk will clear.

nope sounds good to me you have my outwit to do with as you please

(Astro/JP seems to be off the radar, and I'm not sure on Xplod, so I'll take my turn and either of them can have me change it if they need to should they come back soon.)

"Believe me, he's not imaginary." Barrier said as the Comanche placed him on the ground.

Things were not going as badly as Barrier was worried they would become, but that didn't mean he think this was still going to be easy. It particularly annoyed him was that the "wizard" appeared to be making things worse, rather than sending the Hulk back where he had come from. Though he had to admit, if he had been able to turn the monster into something more manageable - permanently, he probably would have been having feeling that went the exact opposite way.

"Oh dear. This is troubling."
"No, troubling is when you loose your keys. 'Troubling' does not begin describe this situation. Now how about you see if you can't help me find a way to stop him."
"Please calm down. I'll see what I can do, but remember that this not exactly within my league."
"Yeah, but he's a comic character" Barrier responded as the flying cape guy began to unleash his energy burst. "And you have a connection to the internet. Meaning you should have access to any number of resources on how he's been defeated previously."
"Very well. But on that note, I do have another idea."
"Anything you got."
"I can't claim to be an expert on this sort of thing, but I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that the Hulk is powered by anger. On which note, have you considered trying to...I don't know, get him not angry?"

Barrier paused for a moment at the suggestion as the flying monkey unleashed his gun, but not to ponder its feasibility.

"We've got the Incredible Frikkin' Hulk tearing up a city, and you want me to try to give him an anger management session?!"

There was a pause on the other line, which the man didn't bother to contemplate. Rather, when he got the call to take a shot of his own, he went for it.

"You know what? Nuts to that, Doc!"

Rushing forward, Barrier tried to fire a pair of shockwaves at the angry green giant, only to have both of the blocked by a quickly raised piece of road, and no amount of wind was able to keep it down. Not wanting to test the strength of his shielding against a piece of rubble that big if he didn't have to, the man quickly backed off to his previous position only to have the stone rubble smash behind him, and flying fragments of it bounced off his shield.

"HULK SMASH YOU ALL! HULK SMASH YOU ALL GOOD!!!"

"Dang, I think I just made him angrier."

-----------

Mark outwits "Toughest", Astro outwits Invulnerability.
Barrier "Contacts" his damage to 3, Warlock ups it to 4.
Barrier makes a ranged combat attack against Hulk, 9 vs 16. Attack roll is 4,2 for 6. OWTW PC re-roll is 5,1 for 6; both attacks miss. And here I was convinced I didn't need to use my power to increase my attack value... <_<

Alright all, bad news. My car's been acting up while a few hundred miles from home. So its from a library with a horribly slow connection I say I'll be out of comission on the Realms until the car's up and running.. I'll be back in full force once I get home, which shouldn't me very long, but I'd like to ask someone (anyone who wants to) to take the reins of the Hulk for the game. If it's over before I'm back, I'll give Piemaster the numbers to crunch for points, but I really doubt I'll be gone THAT long.

If I get back to the library, I'll try to post something. Thanks for understanding, I hope. I'll do something nice to try to compensate....

Well, since all of the free actions have been used for this turn and noone of the guys with two action tokens has MoE Team Ability (a criminally underused TA, IMHO), i think we can safely assume that this round is over and everybody else will clear.

The Hulk will clear too, eventually.

So we can safely skip to the next turn. I've no time for a story post now, if enyone wants to fill this gap, you're welcome.

I'll wait to move OwtW untill I see the need of it or someone uses her PC, for now she has LoS to everyone and she's out of harm.

Long story. Let's get this sucker rolling before I go home for dinner in like three days!!!

Bill can only carry on click one, which he's left behind. Anyone who wants my perplex can have it.

"Big nasty mister Green Dude! You're not nice!" Bill yelled to the behemoth. "I'm gonna bop you!" Bill waved his wand, and the Hulk simply sneezed at him, causing Bill to lose his balance. "That's not cool!"

Bill uses "I'm Painting this town Purple!" and rolls a 1 for Hulk.
Jeez, I'm rolling like an idiot....

"Well I suppose that means you've just gone and made things worse than, doesn't it?"
"We were already pounding away at him as it was! I don't think he has any interest in talking with the same people that have been trying to put him down!"
"I suppose not." Norman said from the other side with a sigh. "But would it have hurt to try?"
"Probably yes. Especially if I was too distracted to avoid getting hit by him. You figure out any weaknesses for him yet?"
"No, but I'm working on it. It's not like the Internet is instantaneous, you know. There's searching, and..."
"Just hurry up!"

Unable to sense any weak spot in the Hulk, Jane took aim at the Hulk's shin just below his knee-cap. "Maybe He'll feel this."

A maximum power pulsed phase blast caused little more than a snort from the green monstrosity. "Well at least he felt it," remarked Jane.

------

Jane uses RCE and rolls 5+6 = 11 +10 = 21 > 16
Assuming I roll for impervious- if not you can reroll for Hulk Xplodiak
Impervious roll is 1, Hulk takes net 1 damage

Strategy suggestion: Do just enough damage with outwit to put hulk on click 10 and then perplex down his attack to 8. With PC it may give him a good chance to miss. Also that click is easier to hit with the first shot next round and only has toughness for a defense power

Mark swung his previously attached arm at the Hulk, not that he expected it to help very much but from the look of things the Hulk was getting a second wind and was ready to pound the nearest moving object into a fine paste namely him. Surprisingly the swing landed squarely on the Hulks jaw and appeared to have actually damaged the seemingly indestructible beast. Although this small victory meant that the team had a greater chance of stopping Hulk Mark also realized it would mean that there was a strong chance he would be the target of Hulks aggression which if the data he gathered from comics was any indicator would most likely be the closest a robot could ever be to certain death. Mark flashed back to his days in the lab and remembering all the pointless restriction and testing he faced there realized that even if this was the end he didn’t regret his decision even if he didn’t get to say goodbye to the one thing that made his previous life bearable.

------

Mark reduces hulks invuln to toughness and attempts a close combat attack rolls 10 for a hit for 2 clicks
