(two Toughness saves!! Goliath Toughness saves vs. DC33! (-1 for wound) (1d20+9=13, 1d20+9=11), d’oh, failed BOTH, the first by 20 the second by 22??? Of course his Knockback resistance is 13, so 18-13=5, or 25ft!] The whole building shakes as Goliath and the Hulk trade titanic blows, first the Hulk is knock almost off his feet, when suddenly when a surge of anger he lays into the giant before him with two horrific blows. The first sends the Goliath back a step when the second knocks him off his feet and back onto a nearby table, smashing down with a bone jarring boom!!! The great giant is out!

Screaming Banshee shakes off the affects of her wounds, stands and let’s loose with her bloody, bone chilling howl of anguish and despair throughout the room! [recovering from Stun, Ronin gets +1 Hero Points. Banshee uses a free action to activate her Force Field, a Move action too stand, Standard action to activate Emotion Control: Despair again. Note that those whom have made their Will save this encounter don’t need to roll again. If you face her again you will have to though. So only Black Widow, Captain Britannia and Wolverine need to make a Will save DC18 or be affected by Despair again!]

Scarlet Witch directs her powers at the Green Goblyn [Green Goblyn Will save vs. DC17 (1d20+11=26), makes it. Her attack roll of a 12 missed, even with Green Goblyn’s -2 for Charging this turn.], but the madman shakes off her magic with seeming ease, and her blast misses the agile and quick villain.

While at almost the same instant, Hellstone curses and directs her powerful mental fire at the Scarlet Witch! “Gypsy trollop! Burn witchbreed!!” [Mental attack vs. Scarlet Witch, DC23 Will save (base is +8 so it is higher then your Mental Defense). This is a lethal attack, so any minus you have from Injury wound are a minus to this roll. Captain Britannia's Inspire has ended so no help there, but your Mental Shield does add to this Will save…]

Finally, shaking with rage, the Gargoyle King races at Justice with his right hand outstretched! “Now you will know true power peasant scum!” [Gargoyle King melee attack roll vs. Justice (1d20+8=16), a hit! Justice needs to make a Fortitude save DC18, or turn to Stone!]



Additional Rolls and Info for Round 2

SCARLET WITCH, 1 Bruise + 1 Injure, 0 Hero Points

OOC: Will save vs. Hellstone's blast DC 23 : 8 -1 injury +6 Mind Shield= 13 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1197039

Lovely...Staggered+Disabled+Stunned

Ok, using a Hero Point to re-roll. 15 [10 +5] becomes 25! -1 +6 = 30. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1197055
No damage.

Actions next round:
As a free action, shift Probability Control array to Providential Grace, which allows Deflect 8 as a reaction, with the potential to reflect!
On appropriate turn: Using Extra Effort for a Magic Power Stunt if not knocked unconscious, snared, etc.

Thanks to Elric and Karl on the Hero Point ruling!

Ronin, 3 Hero points, no injuries

Ronin smiles under his mask as he watches his shuriken hit their mark, but scowls as Banshee shrugs them off and lets loose another shriek. He dashes over the debris filled room to her, angling his Katana in his hands as he does so. He swings at her with as much strength as he can manage!

Ronin moves over to Banshee and attacks with the flat of his Katana (non-Lethal Damage, Lethal vs. a woman? you fiend!) Attack roll: 24

Justice 4 (or 3) hero points, petrified

Justice watches in horror as the Gargoyle King's hand reaches for him. He is unable to move out of the way, and he feels himself succumb to the frenchman's petrification power.

[sblock=ooc] Fort save 16 fortitude
Am I right in reading the Hero Point rules to say I can't use another one to redo a roll this round, as I used one to reroll my grapple check earlier? If not, I'll use one to try again, failing again with another 16 fort take 2
Ah well, rock paper scissors anyone? [/sblock]

After knocking out Hyde, Captain Britania pauses to consider the situation around him. "Nice aim and good tactics!" he says to himself after Ronin hits Banshee (with Ronin trying to stay stealthy, he won't tell him directly until the fight is over). Then he sees Wolverine nearly eviscerate Shark Killer and frowns. At least he didn't kill him "Wolverine, we're trying to defeat them, not kill them. Shark Killer is to face trial in the courts- rule of law; not rule of claw."

Captain Britania smiles faintly as Hulk smashes Goliath. He's not the first villain to find out the hard way not to test their strength against Hulk. But I hope this hasn't taken too much out of him

Suddenly Banshee's shriek pierces his mind, but he's heard it before and he resists it this time. (19 total: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1197163)

Then Captain Britania too watches in horror as his protege Justice is turned into living stone by the Gargoyle! Heedless of the danger, he charges at the Gargoyle. "You'll pay for that, you stony fiend! You were better as a decoration on Notre Dame!"

(Charge, +2 attack, PA 5, so attack at +5: oops, natural 1:http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1197227
Also, if anyone else is over here, besides Thor (Capt knows Thor is tougher than he is and doesn't need the help), and Gargoyle attacks them, Capt will Interpose)

Round 3

(OCC from round 2

…and from the cruel touch of the Gargoyle King, the young “Man of Renowned” know as Justice slows, and turns to stone before the helpless eyes of his comrades. Gargoyle King laughs insanely…

Pages 4 and 5...

Green Goblyn flies towards the south part of the room, but not before dropping a ‘parting gift’ between the Hulk, Black Widow and the Scarlet Witch, saying “You will get your yet… I promise you!” [Green Goblyn is dropping a ‘Smoke Pumpkin-head Bomb” – Obscure (all Visual) [3] 25ft radius, linked to Nauseate [5] - DC: 15, fortitude save; and the 2b.) Extra: Ranged [5]; and 2c.) Extra: Area (25ft) [5] – DC: 15, reflex. So, Hulk, Black Widow and Scarlet Witch need to make a Reflex save vs. DC15, if they fail, Fortitude Save DC15 vs. Nauseate. If they succeed, Fortitude Save DC12 (except Black Widow with Evasion). Sight is blocked for them also…]

Cossack Rytsar says something in Russian
spoiler for Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and Wolverine [sblock]“The time is naught! Plan Omega NOW!”[/sblock] He then rushes towards the back of the room, firing his automatic pistol at Wolverine! [Baron Rystar ranged attack vs. Wolverine (-2 for range) (1d20+12=30), hits by more then 10, so Wolverine needs to make a Lethal Toughness save DC24 (4 +5 for auto-fire). I believe you heal your other wound last round soo….].

Mr. Hyde sleeps… but outside your area of sight?! Wolverine and Black Widow hear some more French back in the smoke…

Ronin rushes the Irish Woman, and strikes her with the flat of his sword [Toughness save DC21, Screaming Banshee Toughness save vs. DC21 (-1 for wound) (1d20+7=8), ok Ronin gets another +1 Hero Point as she is re-rolling her save Screaming Banshee Toughness save vs. DC21 (-1 for would) Hero Point re-roll (1d20+7=19), missed it by 2, so she takes another Bruised wound], but she deflects part of it with a sonic shield of force. She snares in anger at the tutelage, but remains on her feet!

Captain Britania rushes the Gargoyle King as he was reaching back to smash Justice, but he slipped on some of the debris along the way and misses. He does distract the monster though as the creature turns his baneful gaze onto the Captain!

Shark Killer drops his Harpoon and says to Wolverine “Here now gov’ner, I gives ups I do!”

[waiting on the Mighty Thor and other to reply before moving on with the rest of the round. Update map included…

(OCC -you still have to make a Fortitude save (DC12 now) unless you have Evasion)

Black Wider Ref save: Big 14! http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1197723

HP, goshdurnit.

New Ref Save 21! http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1197725

Black Widow, despite her injuries, manages to react just before the blast goes off, and takes cover...avoiding the explosion entirely!

Thor, 2 HP, uninjured

Thor narrows his eyes as the Green Goblyn flees the battle. "One would think your name the Yellow Goblyn, the way you run from a fight, man!" he calls out, and then soars into the air, pursuing the Goblyn.

"Yet you are no man. I would call you a dog, but I would not wish to insult hounds everywhere by doing so. You are nothing but a monster! And if there is one thing that Thor is known for, it is crushing monsters!" And as soon as Thor catches up with his fleeing foe, he attempts to do just that, with a mighty swing of Mjolnir.

(OOC: All-out Attack 5. Thou shalt fall, Goblyn! So says Thor, and his mighty roll of 30!)
