Surprise Round!!!
(OCC – Prior to Surprise Round
Cossack Rytsar’s Master Plan (tactics) (1d20+17=25), all Villains +3 to all their Skill and Attack rolls!
Results of Reflex and Damage Saves…
*Black Widow made both Reflex saves, so she does not need to make the Toughness saves
*Justice made both Reflex saves so his needs Toughness saves of 19 (area attack rank 8, half 4 +15), so succeeded with both saves.
*Captain Britannia succeeded with the first Reflex save, failed the second. He has 2 levels of Evasion, so even when he fails a save he takes half damage from Area attacks. 2nd Toughness succeeds, no damage from either attack.
*The Scarlet Witch failed both Reflex saves but succeed with both Toughness saves, she takes no damage from either attack.
*Ronin succeeded with the first Reflex save, failed the second. With 2 levels of Evasion he still takes half damage and with the 2nd Toughness save, he succeeded and took no damage from either attack.
*Hulk fails both Reflex save. The first Toughness save he fails by 8, taking an Injury (and Bruise) hit and is Stunned. He fails the second Toughness save by 3, so takes another Injury (and Bruise) hit. You can spend a Hero Point to become un-Stunned and still SMASH if you want to.
*Thor made both Reflex saves and then easily made both Toughness saves.
*Wolverine made the first Reflex save, failed the second, and then made both Toughness saves.

Across Pages 2 and 3…
Green Goblyn lets loose with another blood cuddling crackle and says “
What have we here, a little spider trapped in my WEB!” and pulls forth five strange looking metal shards shaped something like bats? He hurls these with terrible force at Black Widow, the cowardly dog is attacking the women first!
[Green Goblyn attack roll (+3 for Master Plan) (1d20+11=23), a hit. The attack is also Auto-Fire, and it exceeded Black Widow’s defense by +2 damage; DC25 Toughness save (base 8+2)]
Cossack Rytsar Cossack Rytsar holds his axe high and yells something in a foreign tongue…
spoiler for Wolverine, the Black Widow and the Scarlet Witch [sblock=Russian]“Victory for Hydra!”[/sblock] ...and then from a strange looking pistol, that he his holding in his off-hand, his spats out multiple shots at the Scarlet Witch… another fiend that assaults women!
[Cossack Rytsar attack roll (+3 for master plan, -2 for range modifiers) (1d20+13=32), a hit [I also forgot his +2 for accurate weapon so the total was a 34 but it does not matter really, just as an FYI). This is also an Auto-Fire weapon, and he hit Scarlet Witch at over +10 her Defense so +5 damage; DC24 Toughness Save (base 4 +5)]
Mr. Hyde, also laughing madly, leaps forward to strike at the mighty Thor
[Thor gets +1 Hero Point, as Mr. Hyde is Surging to moving and attacking this round (spending the hero point this round to ignore Fatigue from next round). Mr. Hyde attack roll (+3 for Master Plan, -5 for Power Attack) (1d20+3=9)] but the vile creature’s wild swinging does not even come close to the still form of the Thunder God…
Blades flashing in the dust, all five of Ronin’s shurikens strike at the ex-Marine
[hit with all five, so +6 damage, so Toughness save 21; Shark Killer's Toughness save (+3 for master plan) (1d20+10=29) (sorry no master plan for Toughness saves), he easily made that roll.] but bonus harmless off his suit and hide. A strange chuckle, from behind the helmet and water, carries across the room.
Captain Britania standing fast, awaiting an oportunity to attack!
NOTE also that Captain Britania can attack Gargoyle King at the end of the round as he would come within reach of him, for this round I will make the attack roll, see below]
Wolverine extends his claws as he grows, the bleeding wound almost instantly healing before his eyes
[it takes no action to heal, and as you took no damage from the blasts, you can heal this injured wound this round (as you can heal once per round). If you take any additional damage this round now…]
Then Shark Killer throws his enormous harpoon at great Captain
[ Shark Killer ranged attack roll (+3 for Master Plan, -3 for Power Attack) (1d20+5=6), big miss], but the noble hero easily deflects it away with his shield. Strangely the harpoon is back into the hands of the vile traitor instantly though.
Goliath strides forward, shouting “
I show you who imposer! I the biggest thing there is, now I crush you!” and tries to bring both of his great fists down onto the head of the Hulk
[Hulk gets +1 Hero Point, as Goliath is Surging to moving and attacking this round (spending the hero point this round to ignore Fatigue from next round) , Goliath melee attack roll (+3 for Master Plan, -5 for Power Attack) (1d20+3=19), a hit! With power attack; DC30 Toughness Save (base 10 +5)]
Justice extends his force fiend around Ronin as he looks for the fallen Curator McKinley, when he see that a large pile of debris is piled right over where the old professor was standing… he must be buried underneath it!
Black Widows blast at Hellstone is easily dodged by the flying woman, striking instead a nearby shelf that seems to hold rare and ancient items of antiquity.
The Hulk, boring the full brunt of both powerful explosive blasts, is stunned momentary. But of course due to his great weight and resistance, he is not even moved slightly from where he was standing
[Your knockback resistance, flat-footed is like a 10 I believe, so no knockback for the Hulk even through he was stunned]
With a blood chilling wail, the Screaming Banshee lets loose a wail of such great despair, you all feel as if you just want to fall to the ground and cry at the hopelessness of it all!
[Emotion control (Despair), range perception, Area general (no Reflex save, see Ultimate Powers pg. 98 on Perception Area attacks), Will save (DC18) or you are Shaken (if the Will save roll fails by 10, are helpless)]
Hellstone almost growls at Black Widow, but glancing back at Cossack Rytsar, she directs her rage Wolverine and lets lose a eerily dark red smear of flames down at him!
[no attack roll; DC23 Will Save, as it is a Mental Attack, with Perception range]
Gargoyle King glides over the remainder of the room, landing near Ronin, and smiling his says “
Your statue will make a fine addition to my collection” as he reaches out for the hero with his right hand…
Ronin gain a +1 Hero Point as the Gargoyle King is Surging to moving and attacking this round (spending the hero point this round to ignore Fatigue for next round) Gargoyle King melee attack roll (+3 for Master Plan) (1d20+11=24), a hit. Ronin needs to make a Fortitude Save (DC18), or something bad might happen to him.]
Captain Britania also swings at the creature as it comes with reach of his might weapon of justice!
[Captain Britania's melee attack roll vs. Gargoyle King (1d20+8=9)] but his footing is off in the debris strong about the floor and he fails to connect with the monster!
