Sue would need a 6 to breakaway from Sandman. He's got Plasticity, remember.

Also, you'll need to reposition Black Panther to Outwit Puppet Master. Firelord's directly in his line of fire.

OK , adjusted with Panther still outwitting mc of Puppet Master:

Mole Man (whom I presume you Poisoned last turn, even though you didn't mention it) attacks the Torch, AV10 on DV15, needs 5. Gets 12. 4 damage to the Torch and knockback to L7

Blastaar pushes, running shot to J11, attacks the Torch, AV8 on DV13, needs 5. Gets 6. Torch takes 2 more and that's a KO. Blastaar takes 1.

Sandman attacks Sue, AV9 on DV19, needs 10. Gets 7.

Puppet Master to O18, hiding from the Panther.

"Bah, get away from me," the Mole Man complained. The light from the Human Torch up close was too much for his sensitive eyes. He overcompensated, hitting Johnny perhaps a little harder than he had intended.

"Okay, now you made me mad," the Torch said. "To paraphrase my pal, it's nova blast time!" Johnny began to intensify his flames, passing from red to yellow to white hot as he prepared to put all his power into one devastating attack. Before he could do so, a blast of concussive force knocked him from the air and his flames went out.

"I think not, stripling," Blastaar gloated.

Wow, I had hoped Johnny would last a bit longer...

Firelord vs. Sandman. Needs 5, rolls 8. A whopping 1 to him.

Sue rolls 4 to break away.

Enter Cage, he moves to P18, picks up ho from Q17.

That'd be a push for Sue. Was that a mistake?

I'll clear on my turn.

"Sandman is tricky and I doubt i could take him, but maybe...I can run," says Susan Richards trying to slip away from the villian.

"Going somewhere, Susie Q?" Sandman asks, surrounding her in a wall of sand.

"Unhand her!" Firelord yells.

"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do, flame boy? You'll end up same as her brother."

"I think not," Firelord brags and hits the Sandman with such an intense burst of flame that some of his sand actually crystallizes. He yelps loudly.

"Let ME help ya out there, Fire-guy. Mind if I borrow that desk you're standing on, Susan," Luke Cage says entering the scene, "Sweet Christmas, I've been looking forward to this a long, long time Sandy."

Sorry, didn't realzie it was a push, I pass on Sue.

OK so since you push I'll use Sue's attempt to break away on this turn, still unsuccessful.

Panther to U17, outwits Sandman's invulnerability.

Cage pushes to get Sandman. Needs 5, rolls 6.

While admittedly, Sue is invisible, she nevertheless blocks Black Panther's line of fire to Sandman. In fact, given the cluster of figures there, and given that the Panther's move is halved to 5 for starting in hindering, I can't see any possible move for him where he can get LoF to Sandman.

However, even without his Invulnerability outwitted, Sandman still takes a not inconsiderable 3 damage from Cage's hit.

Puppet Master takes on Sandman's Sinister Syndicate TA and loans Sandman his 9AV. Sandman tries for Invisible Girl. AV9 on DV19, needs 10. Gets 4.

Puppet Master tries to MC Firelord. AV9 on DV12, needs 3. Gets 6.

Firelord will attack Cage. AV10 on DV17, needs 7. Gets 11. Cage will take 1 after Invulnerable. Which doesn't change his stats one whit.

Mole Man to P16

"Well, I don't imagine that it'll take much modification to my Human Torch puppet to make it a Firelord puppet," the Puppet Master tittered, quickly molding a clay figure, "and then I shall have all your cosmic power for my own! And now to have you destroy your own allies!"

Firelord turned and blasted at Cage with a wave of cosmic flames.

"Hey!" Cage protested. "Damn, you're lucky I'm pretty near invulnerable, or else I'd be seriously p.o.'d right now."

This game's going well so far. I don't think either one of us has a commanding lead. But of course with all these long games, long before we're done I'm starting to get excited about the next. All this Icons hype is getting me thinking about the JLA/Avengers game we were planning on next.

New Superman....mmmmm, good.

I didn't really check out the new Superman but of course always love Avengers/JLA games. I take it you want Avengers.

So just to check, where are we having Panther since his move last time was invalid?. Are we accepting the move as is or should I leave him where he was?. For now I'll keep him at R22, where he was before, and this move as well as your last, won't involve him. Work for you?.

Firelord vs. Puppet Master. Needs 5, rolls 7. 3 to PM.

Sue vs. Sandman. Needs 4, rolls 5. SS roll is 6. Of course it is! Why not throw in a bcf roll of 6 on your side while we're at it!.
