M&M: Time of Crisis

Doctor Smooth tumbles his way closer to the group of gathered villians. El Bolo moves 30 feet closer to Doctor Smooth and tosses bolos at him. The bolos hit and explode with extreme force, in a 40 foot radius around Smooth, stunning the hero. Huckster moves 30 feet closer to Doctor Smooth and produces what appears to be a cream pie. He throws it at Smooth but misses.

OOC: Since it is Diva's turn in the initiative order, I'll stop the combat here and let Mark decide if he wants to spend a hero point to reroll the damage save to try to keep Diva from falling unconcious. Others will have a chance to spend hero points as well to negate stun effects, etc.

OOC: I believe Mark replied in the OOC thread, rather than here. Also, Dr. Smooth would be concerned about the civilian damage that could occur here, so I think it's well within his idiom to spend a Hero Point and try to RECOVER ;)

OOC:
Sorry all, my internet connection is still out at home. I am only able to post at work right now. It will be down until further notice. So, I am turning over control of my character to the GM should things need to be moved along and I'm not able to be here. I will let you all know once I'm back online.

IC:
Brain Freeze shakes his head from the hit. He gazes at Firebug again and lets another blast of mental energy surge towards it's target.
 

OOC: Sorry for the delay in posting. I have an out of town guest staying with me right now and was off from work for the last five days. Unfortunately I was too busy to post but I should be back to normal now.

Initiative:
Doctor Smooth 31
Spyder 31
El Bolo 27
Brain Freeze 25
Eve 24
Huckster 20
Firebug 17
Weather Mistress 16
Ghost 14
Looking Glass 11
Diva 11
Mad Maple 7

Finishing the previous round...

IC:
Diva is hit by the attack from Weather Mistress but manages to shake off the worst effects. (OOC: Spent hero point to reroll damage save and still failed but only by 3 instead of 15. She takes 1 hit but is not stunned.)

Diva throws up a wall in front of Weather Mistress and moves forward using it for concealment, trying to get as close as possible to her.

Seeing Firebug's success against Brain Freeze, Mad Maple points his staff at the hero and fires an explosive blast of cold at him but misses.

OOC: Ready for actions for the next round. Smooth is spending a hero point to immediately recover from being stunned and will be able to act normally. Mirth and those who haven't specified yet, actions for next round?

Current tactical map:
OOC: Here's the map if the current situation:

B = Brain Freeze
E = Eve
G = Ghost
V = Diva
D = Doc Smooth
S = Spyder

(Infernal isn't placed on the map as he hasn't posted in a few weeks)

M = Mad Maple
H = Huckster
L = Looking Glass
F = Firebug
W = Weather Mistress
EB (looks like EE) = El Bolo

The large orange areas are labled as to what they are. In all cases, slot machines, tables and whatnot are strewn around those areas. There are scattered bystanders hiding in the room that MAY get in the way during combat. The red areas are walls and go floor to ceiling.

Squares are 10 feet each. 5 feet was too small to see well enough.

Hoping that her crude illusion provides at least some advantage against the obviously dangerous Weather Mistress, Diva leaps into action, passing through the "wall" in her attempt to lock the villainess into a painful grapple and maybe, just maybe, make it harder for her to use that damnable weather vane.

Here's where all that time spent with the wrestling team pays off, Diva thinks.

As the bolos strike Dr. Smooth dead on, the hero seems to go down for a moment in the cloud of smoke. As the cloud moves, however, the Doctor's grim smile appears as he says to Huckster and El Bolo, "Don't you know not to bring your little boy balls to a Man's game?" (Intimidating Presence) Just a quickly, the cloud shifts again, and Dr. Smooth is gone. (Hiding and Moving Silently under cover of the smoke and chaos to get as close as possible to the two villains.)

Edit: Feel free to edit your post now, TA. Hope this is a more reasonable action to take.

One more thing before I post the next round.

Mirth, just need you to clarify your action. If you wish to move silently and hide, you can only move up to half of your normal move, which wouldn't get you to any opponents this round. You can move up to a full normal move and take a -5 penalty to your skill checks but that still wouldn't get you to any opponents. It is impossible to attack, run or charge while hiding and moving silently. With this in mind, let me know how you want to proceed. I didn't want to assume anything until I asked you.

IC:
As the smoke clears around Doctor Smooth, he says, "Don't you know not to bring your little boy balls to a Man's game?" to El Bolo and Huckster. Neither seems fazed by his speech. He then moves closer to the two villians, using the smoke from the explosion as cover. (OOC: Too far away for Intimidating Presence to work, you have to be within 30 feet of the target. I went ahead and had him make his speech anyway. Maybe with the smoke he didn't judge the distance correctly? Move Silently and Hide were 20 and 17 respectively, low rolls saved by high skill totals.)

Spyder moves along the ceiling, closing on El Bolo and Huckster.

El Bolo produces another pair of bolos, and spotting Doctor Smooth in the smoky haze, throws them at him. The bolos fly wide however. Smooth notices that they were not just simple bolos, they were bladed. (OOC: made spot roll of 21 to locate Smooth)

Brain Freeze unleashes another blast of mental energy at Firebug and this time connects with his mind. The villian shrugs off the effects however. (OOC: Failed first Will save, spent Villain point to reroll and made save)

Eve picks herself up and tries to shrug off the effects of the attack that stunned her.

Using what appears to be a pogo stick of some sort, Huckster leaps 50 feet forward, closing the distance with Brain Freeze and then throws another cream pie at him which misses.

Firebug flies closer to Brain Freeze, and fires another shot of fire from his gun. Brain Freeze manages to dodge the attack but the shot still explodes right behind the hero but the blast doesn't effect him.

Using her weather vane, Weather Mistress manipulates the air around her and takes flight, moving away from the brick wall that suddenly appeared in front of her and closer to Eve and Spyder. She again creates a cloud, this time near Spyder and attacks him with another lightning bolt but the bolt barely misses the hero, scorching the ceiling instead.

Ghost changes direction and closes with Firebug, and attempts a phase attack on him. He hits, his hand materializing inside the villain. Firebug grunts in pain. (OOC: Firebug took 1 hit, but is not stunned)

Sensing an advantage, Looking Glass moves closer to the recovering Eve and fires another laser blast, which barely misses, striking the stage wall behind her.

OOC: Okay, once again I will hold the round here for Mark to post a revised action since Weather Mistress has moved 50 feet away.

Current damage is as follows:
Firebug has taken 2 hits.
Brain Freeze has taken 1 hit.
Eve has taken 1 hit.
Doctor Smooth has taken 1 hit.
Diva has taken 1 hit.

Mark, go ahead and let me know what you want to do this round now that Weather Mistress moved away.

Everyone else, feel free to post preliminary actions for next round.

Current tactical map:
Here's the map if the current situation:

El Bolo produces another pair of bolos, and spotting Doctor Smooth in the smoky haze, throws them at him. The bolos fly wide however. Smooth notices that they were not just simple bolos, they were bladed.

Having been spotted, Dr. Smooth gives up trying to sneak up on El Bolo and instead leaps and tumbles forward towards the villain, trying to plant his patented Soul Grip on the sucker. Keeping up his taunts, he says, "Nice try, El Bunghole. You throw like a baby."

OOC: Trying to attack with Paralysis Strike and use Intimidating Presence if close enough. Otherwise, just closing the distance.
 

Freeze shakes his head. I can't believe that he's shrugging these things off. Seeing that Ghost is now engaged with Firebug, Brain Freeze turns his attention to the newcomer and fires a blast of mental energy at Huckster.
