Ok, here's my setup. You can setup and move first, to speed things up.
Good luck and good game.
I'll post my dials later, sorry. It's too late for me now. Just wanted to leave the setup so the game can start asap.
Wow, 8 figures...I can't remember playing with so many...
But finally, something that looks a lot more like the black-ops X-Force I enjoy

"And so, it begins!" Lord Recluse intones as the bright flash of the Destiny Portal fades, disgorging the unquestioned Lord of the Rogues' Isles into a brave new world, ripe for conquest. "One small step for a lesser man, but one that shall echo down the ages as the day the very Multiverse itself learned to cower in fear at the mere mention of Arachnos!"
Forming up behind him, his lieutenants and attendants establish a quick perimeter, watchful eyes scanning their watery surroundings
"Hhhh... I smell prey.. close by" Mako remarks revealing rows of wickedly serrated teeth as he smiles a predatory grin.
"The beast is right my Lord" Ghost Widow coldly comments. "I sense the presence of powerful souls, determined to stand against our intrusion... at their folly"
"My Lord" Kalinda suddenly speaks up in a subdued, respectful voice. "Scirocco reports great progress on the task you delegated to him and his apprentice. They have reached their goal successfully and have opened negotiations with the self-styled "Emperor" as you commanded.
With a curt nod, Recluse acknowledges the report and turns his attention to the battle awaiting ahead.
"Excellent, my plan proceeds as foreseen. Now show these doomed fools the fate of those who oppose Arachnos, and the Will of Recluse!"
free) "Forward, as your Lord commands!" Recluse shouts, signalling the beginning of his grand conquest. Lord Recluse rolls for leadership, roll is: 5 and he gets it!
1) Recluse himself strides through the water, spidery arms snatching up a half-submerged chunk of masonry as he passes. Recluse moves to R11 picking up a HO along the way.
2) Feeling entirely in his element, Mako vanishes cuts through the water with silent, graceful speed betraying the savage bloodshed he intends to unleash. Mako moves to O11
3) "You heard our lord and Master, brute. Come then, unless you fear my embrace more than you fear his wrath?" Ghost Widow whispers at the Scorpion in a mocking tone. Ernesto merely growls in response, throwing the ghostly apparition a baleful glare with his cybernetic eye before allowing her to teleport them both ahead. Widow teleports to Q13, placing Scorpion in O12
4) "Your victory today is clear and imminent my lord, the vision of your triumph is clear in my mind!" Kalinda focuses her mental power and teleports in a flash of light, moving to S9
free) Barracuda follows her mentors example and glides effortlessly through the cold water, following in his wake. Barracuda perplexes her own movement up to 7
5) Barracuda moves to S12
Kalinda will at all times, if it is possible copy Arachnos when attacked by an opposing figure

"Ok, listen up. Summers sent us here to find and stop a group of terrorists wanting to conquer the world and s%$t. Normally it would not be our problem, but these guys have mutant-like powers, and Cyke thinks their actions would make us look bad." Wolverine starts.
"Like we're not making a great job on that ourselves." Warpath jokes.
"Right. Anyway, Hank and Jean came along to give us a hand, since they're both interested in these guys phisiology" Logan continues.
"Biogenetics, to be more precise." Hank McCoy corrects.
"Right, whatever makes you tick, Hank. Anyway, we're not sure what we're up against, so let's just scout the area, and keep close to each other. Vanisher, you're up."
"All of you?" a bored Vanisher asks.
"No. I don't want everyone to just pop up in the middle of our enemies bub, so take just a few of us. The others will have to catch up...unless you're afraid of getting a little wet. Elixir, Hank. Stay back."
Half the team disappears into the next room,taken by Vanisher.
"What happened here? A flood? This looks like the Avengers mansion" Warpath says, while swimming ahead, picking a floating couch.
"How would you know what Avengers mansion looked like?" Domino asks, swimming near him.
"I came here on a tour once." Warpath says.
---
1) Vanisher uses Group Teleportation to appear on G13, surrounded by Wolverine on H13, Jean Grey on G12 and X-23 on H12.
2) Domino swims to F11
3) Warpath swims to F12, picking HO on the way.
* Vanisher and Domino will PC on a case by case basis, mostly due to positioning and who should PC first. If only one of them has LoS, that one will PC any successfull attack.

"You are right, James. This is indeed Avengers Mansion...or what's left of it, anyway." Hank McCoy says, while jumping from one wall to the other, avoiding the water.
"I can see our opponents down the hall. Most definitely they must be involved in the flooding of this sacred place. X-Force Assemble!" Hank McCoy shouts, as he leaps forward.
"Easy Hank." Jean Grey says, while catching her friend in a Telekinesis bubble. "As Logan said, we don't know what we're facing here. We can't let our emotions command our actions.
"Vanisher...go get the kid before he drowns himself." Wolverine says. In two seconds, Vanisher and Elixir appear in the room.
free) "Be prepared my servants. Whatever this world can throw against us it will be naught compared to the power of Arachnos!" Recluse rolls for leadership, roll is: 4 and he gets it
1) "Advance, and crush all that would stand against us. The heroes are doomed!" Recluse strides purposefully through the water, moving to M11
free) Barracuda keeps up the rearguard, slowly circling through the water. Barracuda perplexes her movement up to 7
2) Barracuda moves to S8
3) "Something is wrong...the future, it has become... clouded?" Kalinda shakes her head and quickly vanishes from her current location, reappearing in O13
4) "I smell their blood... hrrrn... can't wait to taste it too!" Mako growls, gliding forward impatiently to towards X-Force but a raised hand from Recluse halts him in his tracks and he stops, albeit reluctantly, at his Master's side. Mako moves to N11
Scorpion stands his ground, making sure that the seals of his suit are intact and keeping the water out while the Widow chuckles softly to herself at his discomfort. Kalinda will, as always, copy Arachnos

I've just noticed now that Warpath doesn't have super-strength on the first click. I'm putting the HO he picked back to where it was, D17. Sorry about that.
X-Force Turn 3B
"Heads up, guys. They're hiding on the next room, we still don't know how many of them are. And this water is not helping. Vanisher, take me closer so I can have a better look." Wolverine commands.
"Oh my stars and garters!" Hank McCoy exclaims "One of them is an amphibian. He must be feeling right at home."
"Am-fee-what?" Vanisher asks.
"Proudstar, let's see how that knife of yours works with this kind of fish."
Reading Logan's mind, Jean knows exactly what to do. She lifts the young warrior from the water, and throws him forward.
"Yes. Let's." Warpath says, using the momentum from Jean's push to get closer to the amphibian enemy and stab him. First strike misses, but the comeback rips Mako's shoulder.
"Josh, are you ok?" X-23 asks as she sees his teammate face getting darker.
"I...I don't know. I feel strange..." Elixir replies, as he falls to his knees. His powers seem to be interacting with the dirty water, creating a wave that almost covers Warpath's body.
"Logan, there's something in the water affecting the kid. We need to complete the mission asap and get the hell out!" Domino shouts.
1) Jean Grey TKs Warpath to J9
free) Elixir perplexs Warpath's dmg to 4

3) Shaman pushes to create barrier on K9,L10,M9,N10
4) X-23 leaps to I10
Dom and Vanisher will PC first successfull attacks they can see. If both have LoS to the subject, please let me decide which one will go first, on a case by case basis.

Slight problem with that turn I'm afraid. Barrier can only be placed in squares of clear terrain as per the PAC
"BARRIER:
Give this character a power action; put up to four blocking terrain markers on
the battlefield in any square of clear terrain that is not occupied by a character and is within this character’s range. Each blocking terrain marker must be put adjacent to another blocking terrain marker created by this character. If this character has a range of 0, it can put the markers only in adjacent squares. This character must have a clear line of fire to at least one of the blocking terrain markers. These blocking terrain markers remain until the beginning of your next turn or until this power is countered or lost."
And since Atlantis rising turns all the grounded clear terrain into Water then Elixir can't use his barrier at all in this game. Would you like to do something else with him instead?

Melkhor
From the ashes of Paragon City... it rises!

Holy cow! Didn't thought about that. I was kind of counting with that to protect Warpath.
Anyway, I'll re-do my turn from that point on in a few minutes, ok?
Ok, good thing this silly mistake was during Pre-season. I'd better pay more attention next time.
Here's the turn. Just removed the actions after the barrier one, including that.
