[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 174285, member: 264"] In my [b]Champions[/b] campaign, the PC group of Superheros ([i]The Justice Hurricane[/i]), were fighting their Archnemesis (The Government Cyborg [i]Operative X[/i]) and his lackies (the half-man half-mantis [i]Insectoid[/i] and the Soviet Battlesuiter known as [i]Comrade Arsenal[/i]) to recover a small sentient toy bear (don't ask) on top of a Vancouver skyscraper. As the Kinetic Energy absorbing powerhouse known as [i]Battery[/i] Duked it out with the [i]Insectoid[/i], and the Telekinetic beauty [i]Kinetica, Mistress of Motion[/i] and the robo-ninja [i]Blackwing[/i] occupied [i]Operative X[/i], the cracked and battered reflective hero [i]Mirror Image[/i] fighting far above his weight battled [i]Comrade Arsenal[/i] for possession of the Toy Bear. In the scuffling the Bear went over the precipice of the building and landed 60 stories down in the back of a beet farmer's pickup truck. [i]Kinetica[/i] due to a series of bad rolls could not effectively grab the Toy Bear with her TK at that range. So it was left to [i]Windman, Lord of the Airs[/i] to use his Whirlwind (area effect TK, no fine manipulation) he got the Toy Bear....and the entire load of beets. Why this is funny is that it coined a new term for when the team manages to get something done in a clumsy, non-ideal fashion. That term is [b]Beet Cyclone[/b] Matt (Windman): "Well Kinetica, you took out [i]Subterranean Samurai[/i], but ruined the Venus DeMilo while doing so. Casey(Kinetica): "Yup, quite the [b]Beet Cyclone[/b]" [/QUOTE]
