OK thinking about it lots, reading stuff over in M&M boards etc I think that I am going to go with… (drum roll please
) 'lose your next action, you are unstunned on the initiative order that you were stunned on but you cannot act (speaking free action ok, cause their good for comics) until your action'
So Psimon was stunned 'last' by Cyborg so he is unstunned on 13.
I'm not 100% happy with this as it puts to much importance on Initiative again but it seem to be the way the rules are suppose to be. BUT I also re-read HERO POINTS and Recover. Now it says 'Unless otherwise noted, spending a HP is a reaction'. I am thinking that I might allow anyone to spend a Hero Point at the beginning of the round or at any time they want to become 'unstunned'. As this will solve this problem I have with it. NOT going to do this yet, just thinking and planning.
Also correct from last round… H4H, I forgot Arsenal’s surprise strike. That would have disabled Gizmo and then Risk’s punch would have put him to dying… so if you really want to shot him again you will probably kill him
otherwise I assume you are helping rescue civilians as the roof starts to cave in.
Radiant, Nightwing did not forget Batgirl, he was coming to rescue her himself
also yes when Shimmer went down the Suffocation was no longer in affect and the floor starts to return to normal so she is no longer snared either /OCC)

B&N BOOKSTORE
Update from last round…Raven save results. Remember you have +15 to your Will saves
I think I have reminded you a couple of times
hehe. Raven made both Will and both Fort saves BUT failed both Grapple tests and is therefore 'Pinned'
…and while arcs of energy flash over her body and mind, she is able to shake the affects off but the nooses around her neck hold tight and she finds herself being pulled towards the 'door' (no movement, just what is to come, depending on what happens with that big green tiger cause there is no one else in the way)
Cat's Eye leaps out of Wondergirl and strikes Psimon on the ground…
Damage save for Psimon vs. 28L (-2 for his armor, one less for his one lethal) getting a 15, missing it by 11 so he takes another lethal hit and is disabled
…cutting him deeply and growling with animal furry
Wondergirl also flies forward to strike the down psychic psychopath…
Attack roll 3+8+1 (higher-ground) +1 (aerial) +2 (stunned) +2 (charging)= 17 a hit. Damage save for Psimon vs. DC29S (-2 armor, four lethal/stun hits), getting a 13, failing by 14, he is KO'ed
…slamming him back into another row of books and almost burying him in books and rubble. He does not move after this second blow.
Shifting his size to that of a large green Bengal Tiger, Beast Boy growls and claws at the men holding Raven,. growling something as he does so…
They are within 5ft of where Psimon was so no charge. Attack roll 5 +5=10 a miss! (even though they lose their DEX bonus to DEF while grappling!)
…but in his excitement to bite and claw, his misses the two as they pull the hapless girl towards the door ripped in the very air…
Cyborg who was looking at Psimon, but seeing the girls have it covered blasts one of the thugs pulling on Raven, trying not to hit the big green tiger in the way…
Attack roll 19+7 -4 (does not have Precise Shot) =22. Damage save for bio-suit thug vs. DC23S (-4 armor) is a an 11, failing and is out
…blasting one of them back through the door screaming.
Raven finds only one opponent facing her, as he struggles to pull her towards the door (
note I will hold her as Raven has an action. You can try and escape the grapple if you want to, making a Strength or Escape Artist (DEX) test -4 vs. the thugs. Or you can use 'mental' powers against him (no energy blasts but mental blast, etc ok). Just want to make sure what you wish to do. On his turn next, he will pull you through the door if you have not escaped… and the guy in the door has a "Readied" action held to do something… bad lets say. Red Tornado does not get to go until after that happens! /occ)
THE FOODCOURT and SURROUNDING AREA
Bargirl pukes the last of the foal tasting stuff that Shimmer had started to form in his mouth and lungs. She sees Nightwing rushes her way, throwing a wounded old man over his shoulder as he comes… he yells "
Batgirl, if you can grab who you can and get out of her… but get out now"
(occ
Batgirl has a full action, she can see a few 'innocent' people lying about, some obviously dead but some just wounded. Shimmer is also about 40 feet away, bleeding from her head but she still is looking around, holding her head /occ)
Argent tries to make her body obey her commands again, tears streaming down her face…
Will save +3 for third round, rolling natural 1! failing
…but she screams in pain again as the energy of the taser is still coursing through her body!
Superboy flying into the air and starts holding one of the larger support beams that still seems to be in place. He can't keep the whole thing up, but his efforts look like they might stabilize a large part of the ceiling… but large cracks start forming up and down the ceiling…
Terra lights large stones and rock from the very earth to lean what support she can… again it seem that her efforts are helping and that it might stave off the collapse… at least for a few more seconds
(occ
assuming that the roof will not collapse this round, but will next /occ)
Shimmer shakes her head and suddenly shots straight up into the air and disappears through the broken roof without another word…
Villain point to avoid disabled affect, Full move sprint straight up to escape
Impulse rushes into the Food Court to grab two young kids and races out of the mall with them…
Nightwing grabs another old woman and continues to order the students "
Forget the metahumans, get the civilians out of here… they are our first priority"
+1 from leadership if you are rescuing people
Arsenal, seeing that Gizmo does not look like he is getting up any time soon, instead throws some parting insults at him and also grabs a young teenage boy and girl near by… they look similar enough to be brother and sister and she is bleeding badly from a leg wound. (if he just moves next round he will get out from under the collapsing roof)
Hawk rushes forward and grabs an older woman and her granddaughter who are partly trapped under in a collapsed slab. Both are battered and bloody but still alive. (next round he could try and go back for more people. Needs a Spot skill check if he wishes to locate anyone)
Jinx shakes her head and with some fear in her eyes glancing at Robin, she sinks into the floor…
Jinx spends a villain point to recover from being stunned. She uses Incorporeal and then a move action to sink into the floor
Gizmo lays on the floor and does not stir…
Robin moves to grab a young man and woman who were hit by falling glass when the roof collapsed and where hurt fairly badly.(if he just continues to move he will be out from under the roof next round)
Starfire swoops down and grabs Argent and another young girl who was trapped by falling rock that crushed one of her feet. She then starts moving out from under the roof. (if Starfire just flies next round a double move will get her out from under the roof collapse)
Risk curses and runs over to throw a huge slab off a few people who had some cover from a table that were under "
Get a move on people or you are dead!" he shouts and then grabs a woman holding and trying to protect a baby.
The two remaining flying thugs follow Shimmer up through the hole in the roof.
Dove races forward and grabs a sales clerk from a cookie shop. She is badly cut but still alive and in danger of being smashed by the falling roof. (Dove can either heal her next round or try and go back for me… needs a Spot skill check to locate anyone)
Aqualad races into the food court and helps some of the people that were trapped under a column felled by Mammoth…
The last two thugs with guns around the food court have had too much and flee
Mammoth keeps running the way he was smashing more columns and support walls screaming at the top of his lungs.
Actions next round??
