One minute, the Scarlet Witch was fine. The next, a rock troll dropped a giant rock on her head - she hardly even knew what hit her. Had it not been for the knowledge that she had safely vanished upon being rendered unconscious, it would have been easy to assume that she had been squished flat as a result.

"GRAW!" The troll roared in victory. "Female go back where she belong! Away from fight!"

Rock Trolls turn 16a
1) Antaeus pushes to attack Scarlet Witch, 9 vs 15. Attack roll is 6,2 (8). PC reroll is 5,1 (6) for a hit. Attack does 3 damage (+2 HO, 5 total) to KO Scarlet Witch. HO is destroyed and Antaeus takes 1 pushing damage.

2) Adonias moves to E8.

Everyone else rests.



Hera's Temple


Hawkeye, Tigra, and Mockingbird continued their secretive advance through Hera’s temple. They could hardly believe that these immortal beings were essentially engaged in a slap fight. At the same time, all three of the heroes knew how fortunate they were that these gods had not yet noticed them.

- Hawkeye leaps to P8.
- Mockingbird leaps to P7.

(- Hera will not do anything for the moment...)

I'm not sure if it would be against the spirit of the scenario for Pluto to magically discover the Avengers in order to activate his shadows.

I think you have the positions of Moon Knight and Iron Man/Thorbuster/Rhoey mixed up... ?... would you still want to push that Rock Troll?...

I think the idea is that Artemis is wisking the downed Avengers away to safety, either to Earth or to Khonshu's realm, perhaps to be decided when we reach the epilogue.

It does appear I've made a massive mistake.

Yes, I will undo that mistake based action.

I thiink i'll wait for Gargan's response here bfore i post my next turn... also because i noticed that Tigra moved into the 4 of that Shade/Veteran Shadow Thief in J4...

I'm not sure I understand the problem? If Pluto (at the beginning of the turn) can draw LOF to an Avenger, then the alarm is triggered and the Shadows can swarm in on the heroes. This could happen if the Avengers had decided to step in and come to Hera's aid, or if Pluto had opted to spend his actions rolling a breakaway from Hera to go reposition himself in a spot that would give the Avengers an additional roadblock. Or (as may happen soon) he KO's Hera and then just starts wandering around in the direction of the Avengers.

Oh, and while the Shadows can't move, they can still make ranged attacks against anyone that steps within their range and LOF. So Tigra is fair game, even if Pluto hasn't stopped the heroes yet.

Well, since the Avengers were sneaking by me, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to discover them on my own.

Apparently, I am.

... so Pluto and the Shade/V Shadow Thief attack, i presume?...

I took my turn 17 a few posts up. Hit Hera for 4.

I forgot my shadows had range so Tigra doesn't take a potential hit...yet.

I think you're up, Mike.

WCAvengers turn 18a


Beasts of Myth -- Hephaestus' Forge

Although one of the huge trolls held tight to Wonder Man's arm, Simon still held a large stone club in his other hand. Wonder Man had tried to fly off and join Moon Knight and Iron Man just now, but his mighty adversary had held him down with a vice-like grip. Only a moment earlier, this same gigantic troll had knocked out Wanda with a merciless heavy blow.

Through clenched teeth, Wonder Man said, "Let me go!" and he swung at the huge troll. Upon impact, the stone club in his hand shattered into a thousand shards, and Simon's hand seemed to go numb.

"Ha!" guffawed the huge troll with an open mouth that revealed a lack of dental care among this cavern's denizens. "Stone not hurt us! We stone!" it shouted.

Wonder Man's brow furrowed in concern. Would the Avengers be able to escape from these battle-happy, rock-solid, hard-headed trolls?



- Wonder Man attacks 'Antaeus'/E Ulik (in H13) > 10 vs 15 > roll: 1+1=2 CRITICAL MISS (arrrrgh!). LO destroyed. Wonder Man takes 1 damage.

**********************

Hera's Temple

'Oh no,' Tigra thought to herself, still trying to remain silent and hidden as she progressed through the temple. 'What will happen if Hera is defeated? She's the wife of Zeus, right?'

Suddenly, Hawkeye appeared nearby, having leapt down from a dais surrounding the central worship area. He and Mockingbird were not quite as quiet as Tigra, but they were almost as fast. "Look up there," Hawkeye whispered, as he tilted his head and directed his gaze toward a faint glow at one end of the temple. "Maybe we can skip this Greek Jerry Springer show and get to the sun god before anyone sees us..."

Mockingbird had leapt straight toward the faint glow and communicated with her teammates quietly through the comm system they wore: "You guys have to get up here quickly. I think this is our ticket out of here."


- Hawkeye leaps to L6.
- Mockingbird leaps to I2.
