So, to clarify, we need to inflict a d10 complication or damage to stop this from spreading into a full blown riot, yeah?

Or reduce the existing complication down to 0, yeah.

Just to be certain, you didn't pick up any of those opportunities, and I still have 0 PP, right?

Also, Electro is about to have a really crappy day.

It's all good. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it somewhere. Also, I don't think I need a stunt to survive this, just yet.

Sorry to double post, but as I'm writing my update, I realized I'm not sure how a complication like this works. If I wanted to break a grapple or even reverse it (Cat is a Jujitsu/Judo master after all) what would I have to do?

Defiance Industries

Well, it's a complication rather than stress but it functions basically the same way. How would you put together a pool if Dan's end goal was, say, to wrench your arm (stress) instead of applying a complication?

Reversing it would require that you win the reaction and then spend a PP to turn your reaction effect die into a complication on Dan. You can do this with any reaction roll, not just ones inflicting complications.

Danger-Pumpkin

Okay, so sans any PP, can I at least break out of it?

Defiance Industries

Yes. If you win the reaction he fails to lock it in. If you don't, you can act against the complication instead of, say, tying to up Dan's stress, to try and escape.

Ibn, you might wanna hold off on your attack until Mystique resolves her roll. It might change things.

E: and I just realized I forgot Black Cat's turn. Sorry! I'll get to it as soon as I can, promise!

Going to do a quick make-up post for missing Black Cat's turn. Taking a friend to lunch for her birthday after that so I'll have to come back and continue to the next round of everyone's stuff when I get back. Wanted to make sure Danger-Pumpkin got Felicia's turn taken care of, though, since I screwed up and missed it before.

Quick thing I wanted to mention, though: posting one after another is totally cool in most situations. However, if you are attacking the same target as the person who went before you and I haven't rolled, keep in mind you are giving up the possibility of using the new stress the enemy takes on your action. Also if things change drastically due to a previous turn, that might change what you want your character to do.

It's just a byproduct of being in a play-by-post system instead of a live RPG.

He's the head of building security for an Illuminatus in both worlds. It was the perfect opportunity to put him in there, so i just assumed that the head of Stark security would eventually get gravely wounded, at which point Tony would make him a badass cyborg.

He probably is coming off more formidable than he should but I am rolling hot.

Sorry, got a bit confused on turn order! I am fine with pretending the last attack didn't happen.

Okay, just read Mystique's dynamic exit and am even more onboard with that idea!

I debated pulling the Crusader out with me but Mystique is not that much of a hero. Not yet, at least.

Hey, it's not too late for Ikzayal to cosmic blast Crusader and send him tumbling after you!

I would have her pull a Nightcrawler/X-Men 2 and teleport, grab you, and bring you back into the plane... but the way I'm rolling you're probably better off taking your chance with the ground.

From what i've gleaned from reading up on the tangled, incestuous mess of X-men continuity for this game, Mystique was technically a member of the X-men during Civil War! And in the 80s, she led a proto-Thunderbolts group called Freedom Force rounding up unregistered heroes for the government!

And a representative quote from Wikipedia:

X-men.txt posted:

Wolverine, having returned from hell and retrieved his possessed body from a demonic force, targets Mystique after finding out she was responsible for sending his soul there at the behest of The Red Right Hand

Comics!

I remember Freedom Force having the Blob, Spiral, and Pyro at one point. Also they fought a depowered Jessica Drew and Storm. Not very heroic for a government sanctioned team!

Defiance Industries, should I redo my action and pretend the previous post was just her fantasizing about what she wants to do to the cultists or something?

I think that your character would probably want to respond differently to the side of the plane being blown out by a super-strong madman, so yeah, we'll just null your last turn and redo.

Cat has one of three opinions about every man she meets: She either hates them, they are Spider-Man and she hates them %50 of the time, or she is pretending to love them to make Spider-Man really jealous. This is canon!

Are you really gonna suggest any possible theory that leads to a world where Mark Waid's Daredevil is not true? Because that world is not worth living.
