What If...? Marvel Universe (M&M 2E)

Round 3 & 4 - Versus the Vikings!

Agent Gamma, heroically ignoring his serious injuries, leaps from the ship into the building after Thor. The hulking giant's land isn't graceful, but he is now within striking distance.

"Damn! I think I messed up that Longship a little too good. Alright think Mister Hotshot Pilot, think! Before it levels all this prime real estate and you get evicted by your neighbors! Waitaminute..It's crazy but its worth a shot!" Redline veers the THInG up next to the out of control Flying Boat and matches speed. Then, just like a tug boat he sidles up next to it side to side and tries to steer it away from buildings. The THInG's turbo powered hover-engines complain loadly at the sheer mass it was trying to push. "C'mon baby..Do it fer Uncle Benjy!" he coaxed as he got every little bit out the vehicle...and more!

The dragonship's hull scrapes the paint off the THInG as its engines scream in protest. It ought to be impossible that Redline's comparatively small craft could hope to move the massive dragonship, but move it does. The dragonship's deck veers starboard away from the building and levels out some, but not enough, however. Glass shatters and concrete cracks as the Viking ship crashes into the building. The bone-jarring impact shakes Falcon and Stronghold.

[sblock]Redline managed to lessen the impact. Falcon and Stronghold, now the only upright people on deck, need to make DC 10 Acrobatics/Balancing checks to keep their balance. Fail by 5 or more, you fall. Anyone with fewer than 5 ranks in Acrobatics loses dodge bonus to Defense.[/sblock]

Thor leaps back to his feet, roaring in anger as he shakes the stars out of this head and ringing out of his ears. Then, swooping through the gaping hole in the building, the mind-controlled Valkyrie is on him. Her lance flashes forward, but Thor merely bats it aside.

"Od's Beard! Art thou mad?"

OOC: Initiative: Falcon (38), Agent Gamma (24), Redline (18), Thor (15), Valkyries (14), Mind-Twist (7), Stronghold (6).

Injuries: The Viking crew is effectively out of the fight. Only one Valkyrie remains engaged, but she is Mind Controlled. Thor is bruised. Agent Gamma is staggered.

Next Up: Mind-Twist, Stronghold, Falcon, Agent Gamma, and Redline!

 

[ByteRynn]

Stronghold, easily navigating the rocking deck of the ship, moves toward the fallen storm god, and punches him again, encouraging him to stay down.

 

[Velmont]

Mind-Twist maintain his hold on the Valkyrie. If he has a chance he will also try to paralyze Thor (I don't remember if maintaining a Mind-Control allow another attack power at the same time.)

Round 4 - Versus the Vikings!

Mind-Twist shifts concentration from the mind-controlled Valkyrie toward Thor, trying to psychically paralyze the villain's muscles. Unfortunately, the supposed God of Thunder's psyche proves too strong to so easily overcome.

[sblock=OOC]

I don't remember if maintaining a Mind-Control allow another attack power at the same time.

Lasting effects continue even if the array is switched to a different power.[/sblock]

Stronghold, easily navigating the rocking deck of the ship, moves toward the fallen storm god, and punches him again, encouraging him to stay down. Thor blocks the incoming punch, handily batting aside Stronghold's attack.

The Falcon races in as Agent Gamma steps up to the plate. Agent Gamma's fist comes up as Falcon whirls between him and Thor, back behind Thor, and grabs Thor's cape. The thick red cloth flaps up and over Thor's head, all of this occuring in the instant before Agent Gamma swings. The green goliath arcs a jackhammer punch down into Thor's helmeted head. Thor goes through the floor to the story below, slamming into a copying machine. He tries to get up, but his arms and legs are like rubber.

[hero4hire]

Grimm landed the THInG and gave the dashboard a pat. "Good job girl." he said and then launched himself out of the car heading on foot towards the deck to the grounded longship.

Grimm lands the THInG and gave the dashboard a pat. "Good job, girl," he says and then launches himself out of the car heading on foot towards the deck to the grounded longship. Climbing up a trailing rope, feet against the hull, Grimm finds himself on the tilted deck. Unconscious Vikings are strewn about. He sees Mind-Twist hovering above the street in line-of-sight of the gaping hole in the building into which Thor, Falcon, Agent Gamma, and Stronghold have vanished.

Down a floor from the previously mentioned three heroes, Thor shrugs the shattered pieces of the copier aside and rises to his feet. He glowers up the hole made when Agent Gamma pounded him through the floor. The mind-controlled Valkyrie leaps from the saddle of her winged steed and drops down at the supposed thunder god, letting her spear-point take the lead. Thor twists out of the way. The spear hits the floor, tearing through Thor's cape.

[ByteRynn]

Stronghold powers up her shield, takes aim at Thor, and blasts him with her force ray.

 

[Velmont]

Peter look at the situation... if that big guy cannot be paralyze, let's hinder him... Peter try to concentrate to grab him and lift him from the ground.

[SBLOCK=OOC]I use telekinesis to lift Thor[/SBLOCK]

 

[Lichtenhart]

Falcon can't believe that red giant is still up. Realizing that his fists couldn't hurt him, if being smashed through a building twice wasn't enough, he readies himself to help the armored lady or the green brawler to attack him the next time he comes around.

OOC: I'm not sure if I can use Aid on someone's ranged attack. If I can't I'll aid the next one who attacks Thor in melee.

 

[hero4hire]

Grimm approached the hole warily. This is probably a bad idea... he thinks to himself as he grips his gun a bit tighter and enters into the building.

"Well I'll be a Yancy Streeter!" he said upon seeing the fight is still on.
