A strange burly orange skinned man peaks out from an Alleyway looking at The strange three story townhouse owned by Dr. Strange. He runs back into the corridor and consults with a larger orange skinned man.”

“This is the place Ulik told us about.” Said the man.

“Good. Hopefully we can get this over with. I hate sneaking around. Ready the troops. Once our reinforcements arrive we make our move.”

“If you can call them troops.”

“What was that soldier?”

“ He gave us almost nothing but old men and children. Why weren’t we given an elite force iffin this job was so important.”

“Cuz’ we need to be able to carve out what we can in the ensuing chaos so we can become dominant..”

“WHAT HO!” comes a bellow from down the other end of the alley. “FEAR NOT TROLLISH FRIENDS! THE SONS OF THE LION OF OLYMPUS AND THE SCYTHIAN BEAST ARE HERE TO AID YOU IN YOUR CONQUEST OF YONDER HOUSE.” A shouting man in a greek toga adorned in gold with a bow and quiver of arrows walks forwards, behind him are a man in a suit and a larger rounder man in a T-shirt and jeans followed by two Harpies.

“Your giving us away… dear Brother Scylla. As if your dated clothing wasn‘t bad enough. You need to live in the present.” says the man in the suit.

“ HA Agayhysus! You are just still bitter that only I was able to bend father’s bow and as such I became King of Scythia!”

“That’s long past… What have you done since then? Nothing but fight in pointless wars in the third world. I however have been integral in many governments. Why right now I…”

“Neither of it matters.” Says the larger man in the T-shirt and Jeans.

“Why is that dear brother?”

“Because I am father’s favorite!”

“Favorite? He only visited us once while we were young babes still unable to walk! IF it were not for Valiant Ares we would not even know our father was rescued from his punishment!”

“Yes but he held me the longest. Mother told me so!”

“BAH!” the brothers said

In an adjoining alley Kate Spencer dressed as a costumed vigilante for the first time hears all this. She was looking for evidence against a drug dealer but she found something else entirely. She peeks over and see’s the strange orange men talking to the man in the toga, with the harpies waiting expectantly. She runs towards the house to warn the occupants inside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ant-Man, Batman, Iron Man and Hawkeye Peer out of the windows of the first flood of Dr. Strange’s townhouse.

“MAN, why’d we get stuck with defending this place. We should be out their saving the world!” Hawkeye complained walking over and plopping down into one of Dr. Strange’s recliners.

“It’s important we stay here” Ant-man said “If Loki were to attack them now it would have grave consequences.”

“Yeah yeah” Hawkeye says leaning back and propping his feat up.

Robin came in to the room and Nodded at Batman. “Everyone’s in place.”

“Good.”

“Waitaminute waitaminute…” Hawkeye said pointing at Batman “You’re the leader!”

“Yeah you got a problem with that Robin says as Batman gives Hawkeye and intimidating scowl. Hawkeye looks directly back at batman for a second before breaking into a laugh.

“No, no problem.” he said laughing “Just after how quick and hard I took him down in our fight I thought for sure he was like a mascot or something.”

“Hawkeye…” Ironman said disapprovingly.

“How dare you I’ll” Robin said angrily before Batman motioned for him to stop.

“I underestimated you. That’s all. Next time I won’t make that mistake.”

“Well don’t overestimate him.” Batgirl said suddenly standing over Clint leaning forward over the recliner. “After all he did get beat by a girl.” she said mockingly.

“Wha, Clint said surprised. Lucky shot. That’s all it was.”

Suddenly a woman dressed in a red and grey costume with a mask runs in.

“Quick! Evil Orange men… and weird bird people… coming… Batman?” The woman said panicked.

“Well it Looks like things may get interesting after all.” Iron man said.

IAP 2

Alright, i'm eager to make sure no trolls reach the mystical masters' machinations and ruin their efforts!

Initiative: 1+5=6
Objects: 5+2=7

i: 8 (6,2)
o: 4 (2,2)

I'll take this one up.

Init 5+6

Objec 3+3

I'll take the top, because i was supposed to and just forgot to put it in my posts!

Thanks, Kasz, for taking up the mantle of troll-dom. Good luck to you, but better luck to us defenders of the mystical mansion!

So we won the objects roll... I'll place 2 HOs and leave the last LO for DocSF, unless he prefers otherwise. Set up from me soon...

No prob. I mostly took up the job because of the three Herc sons. Existed in mythology but the personalities are all me. Thought it'd be fun if I explored three aspects of Hercules.

Scylla the first King of Scythia is Hercules Strength and Battle Lust.
Agayhysus is his hunting and thinking abilties for when he had to outsmart someone
and Gelonus has inhereted his fathers great love of wine and women.

I kinda suck so the innersanctum should be safe... let's hope. The Crossover was fun but i'd hate to go through 3 other ediors every month to get stuff done. Leaves a lot less time for writing!

I'll set up now to save time. Hmm... shoulda picked a Cabal city 4 player map. Just realized the lack of tokens will make things harder to track

"ALL FORWARD!" Shouted the general as the Trolls and Sons of Hercules charged across the street towards the house. All except for Agayhysus. He clapped his hands and pointed at the heavily armoured rock troll brandishing a sword who was barely able to keep pace with the children. One harpy swooped down and carried him towards battle while the other grabbed Agahyhysus. They both arrived across the street before the rest.

"All about strategy brother".

"You may have gotten here first. But we'll see who fells the most mortals this day."

"hey... hey guys wait up..." Called the third brohter... less apt for combat then the rest.

Umm, Kasz, are we on the same map? N11 is in the hallway between the bathroom and the living room. Your trolls are starting at the top (according to Creation Matrix) near the swimming pool and swingset, right?

aw ####. I wonder if I wrote down the wrong map when i wrote the story or if it was edited on me. The Map was SUPPOSED to be IAP 1 since it kinda fits the "Much bigger then it looks" thing instead of IAP2 which is much smaller then a house even should be. Oh well, let me re-set up tommorrow and remove.

Sorry guys, same setup... diffrent moves... Hmm... this map makes it a little harder on you then I planned I think. Hopefully my usual unthinking rush in and get slaughtered strategy will make up for it. Treat this house story wise as a Neighbors house the trolls are busting in, to get to yours.

Kasz, with the swingset in the way, only Oberon 2 could reach G13. I've amended the recap accordingly, if this is alright. (You seem to have forgotten Oberon's move in the recap anyway.)

WCAvengers turn 1b

"We know what we have to do, Avengers," said Iron Man coolly. hawkeye didn't respond; he knew that Iron Man knew that his statement had been superfluous. The archer simply notched an arrow and tried to get a better view of the approaching monsters, trolls and demons. "Man, I thought I'd seen it all," muttered Hawkeye to himself, "but I think this take the cake. I hope we get through this in one piece; I wonder how Black Canary is doing..." Hawkeye's reverie was interrupted by the now-familiar sound of Iron Man's boot jets. The archer and the other West Coast Avengers moved toward their adversaries.

------------------------------------------
- Iron Man grabs Ant-Man and moves to O11, placing Ant-Man in N11 (stealthed).
- Scarlet Witch moves to R11.
