OCC Thread It's issue #1 of a new mini-series: Secret Wars. Heroes from all over the marvel universe will be summoned. Gods! War! Death! The ultimate climatic battle of good and evil is about to begin! -- Let's start off with a little build-up, a little freeform. Why doesn't everyone explain what they are doing, do one thing without need to roll, then vanish in a flash of light (their location revealed once everyone has posted).

MVP At last, Michael gazed at the twine-bound pallets of firewood in the trailer and heaved a sigh of relief. Six hours of chopping wasn't the most fun way to spend a Saturday morning, but there were a lot of folks who "Hop in, Mikey!" Mr. Forester boomed out, slapping the seat beside him, and he dutifully climbed into the truck. It was an even division of labor, as he saw it: Mr. Forester handled the tricky parts of driving a big ol' truck with a big ol' trailer hitched to it over some windy roads, and some gravel to boot, and Mike got the wood unloaded. Two hours later, he was sorta tired, but Mr. Forester dropped him off at his place for a well-deserved shower and nap. He even waited until Mike opened the door and went in. Unfortunately, the moment the door closed, Mike vanished in a flash that Mr. Forester figured was the light turning on.

 Ben Grimm, AKA The Thing Every single day, Ben Grimm wondered to himself why his life had to be so interesting. Sure, he was the idol of millions. Sure, he had done his part to save the world numerous times, and if he were ever honest with himself he could admit he had a hand in saving the very fabric of reality at least once. Hell, he was his aunt Petunia's favorite nephew. It was no different today, and he pondered this great question as he sailed through the air of midtown Manhattan, stopped only by a pesky bank wall. Pulling himself free from the rubble, he muttered to himself about the development being revolting and drove a massive, rocky fist through the head of one of Victor's little toys. It was always Doombots with Victor von Doom. Ben turned at the sound of someone whistling and clapping, and gave a cheesy grin to the one security guard who had stuck around during the melee. "Sorry fer makin' a new door for ya to watch, but don't worry ya pretty little head. The ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing is here, and IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!" Turning his attention back to the fight itself, Ben watched Johnny zip around in a crazy pattern around the hovering form of Victor; Doom was up to his old tricks, but whether it was science or magic this time didn't really matter much. It all seemed the same to Ben. With a slight grunt, the Thing lifts an artisanal hot dog cart over his head, giving it a few experimental tosses up and down to get a feel for the weight of it. He pauses to point at Victor, giving the security guard a wink before jogging forward a few steps and hurling the vehicle through the air like an oversized baseball. Of course, it wouldn't matter much. Victor always had some sort of energy shield or mystic mumbo jumbo that would stop whatever haphazard projectile Ben came up with or Hothead's flame blasts. Stretcho was the one who always figured out some complicated quasi-quantam whatsit that would reverse or invert or realign or whatever some hoo-ha with the shield and then ol' Victor would be susceptible to a good old fashioned Bronx beatdown. That was always the part that made the ol' rock monster with the heart of a prince warm and fuzzy inside. Affiliations Solo d6 Buddy d10 Team d8 Distinctions It's Clobberin' Time!

 Johnny Storm "Man, you ever get tired of getting your butt kicked chrome-dome or do you get off on this kind of thing nowadays?" Johnny was mostly bluffing, annoyed at having to hold off Doom until Reed figures out how to disable his newest shield. Seeing Ben toss the hot dog cart, Johnny gets an idea. "Hey von Doofus, hope you like your franks well-done!" Just as the hot dog cart is about to make contact with Doom's barrier Johnny shoots a bolt of flame at it, causing it to explode. That should buy us a minute hopefully. Well-done, going to have to tell Parker that line. He loves these corny one-liners.

 Spider-Man This day could not possibly get any more stressful. First he had to help out the Avengers at 4:30 in the morning because apparently you need to wake up early to surprise Hydra. And then Daredevil needed his help, so that took up the rest of the morning because Spider-Man just can't say no to team-ups. And don't forget the fifth bank robbery in the past two days, or the Mole Man deciding to stick his head up again (although that one wasn't that taxing, really). "Sure would be nice if super heroes got paid vacations. Or got paid in general, actually." At least he found the time to enjoy a hotdog in the middle of all this running around. With how this day has been going, he'll probably get attacked by Venom or something, but hopefully he can rest for at least five minutes. And then there is a flash of light, followed by a half-eaten hotdog tumbling to the street below. pre:Spider-Man (Alias: Peter Parker [secret]) Affiliations: Solo d8, Buddy d10, Team d6 Distinctions: Friendly Neighborhood Hero Wisecracker With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility Spider-Powers Enhances Senses d8 Enhanced Stamina d8 Superhuman Reflexes d10 Superhuman Strength d10 Wall-Crawling d6 SFX: Spider-Sense.

 DOCTOR DOOM "Your words are as meaningless as your attacks, Storm, when measured against the majesty that is Doom!" As Doom sweeps an arm towards the oncoming explosion, casting his cloak open, the flames seem to deflect around him, leaving the mighty monarch of Latveria untouched. "You see now that you four are finally finished, no matter what trickery that cursed Richards may try! Thanks to the contribution of my Atlantean associate, Prince Namor, my shield is perfected! No matter how forceful your attacks, you shall never be able to burst Doom's bubble!" Yes, Namor's generator (resting safely on the ground beneath the securely protected Doom) had been instrumental in this victory, though Doom would avoid mentioning any appreciation when they met again; such petty emotionalism was beneath such titans as they. He also would likely avoid mentioning the fight at all, if he could. Namor was always so insistent in his questions about the Richards woman when Doom spoke of facing them, and Doom had long run out of ways to descrube how Sue's hair had looked on a given day. Gazing across the ruined bank, Doom re-crosses his arms. "I grow tired of this! Prepare yourselves, Fantastic Four! You shall now bear witness to the ultimate triumph of Doom!" Laughing, Doom floats higher into the sky, as the air around him begins to shimmer and the very foundation of the bank shakes- And then, in a flash of light, Doom is gone. quote:Doctor Doom RandallODim fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Aug 15, 2016 |

 Throg "Haha, look at this one!" The purple-haired punk held up the struggling duck by the neck, shaking it vigorously as it thrashed in his grasp. His cohort, a taller, bald-headed thug, laughed with his friend as he imitated the duck. "Quack, quack!" he shouted, wiggling back and forth, his tongue hanging out of the corner of his mouth. Just a strong push nearby, an old man finally found the strength to brace himself against his cane and push himself to his feet. "You rotten kids! Leave that bird alone!" The young ruffians glanced at each other, exchanging grins. "Naw, maybe I'm real hungry!" the first one said, pointing the duck at the old man. "Bet these guys get nice and fat off all those bread crumbs and buckets of popcorn you old farts throw in the drat pond all the time!" "That's litterin`," the tall one said. "Yeah!" the purple-haired punk continued. "Littering in our fine park! People like you oughta be locked up! Or maybe go back to the nursing home where you came from! How's that sound, grandpa? You want me to push that little button around your neck?" "You fallin` down, and you ain't gettin` back up." The old man shrunk away, gripping his cane tightly. He'd come here for years to feed the ducks. He loved this little pond, and nobody had ever disturbed him before! Not the artists, or the joggers--why today? Why now?! "Ho, *croak* varlots!" All three of them stopped in their tracks at the commanding ribbit. A sudden thunderous boom filled the clearing, and a silvery-yellow streak of lightning struck the center of the pond, sending algae and soggy popcorn scattering across the surface. "Cease thy foul acts of rrrrr-*ribbit*-bellious anarchy against thy elders and yonder pond! Less thou seekest an audience with the champion of this park, verily, the only Frog of Thunder!" Throg fell from the sky with a godly THUD, bending his long, sinewy legs with the impact. Another peal of thunder rolled by as he fixed his enormous yellow eyes on the young hooligans before him. "Be thou hurt, kind sir?" he asked the old man, not taking his eyes off the punks. "Uh," the old man replied, completely baffled at everything that had just happened in the last ten seconds. "The Norns be kind to thee this day," Throg croaked in reply. His neck bloated up with pride. Everyone else around him flinched back at the sight of it, but Throg only continued. "Attend the words of Throg, brash ones! Leave this sanctum of birds at thy greatest speed, or I promise thee only the bite of my temper upon thy foolish heads!" He raised his right arm high overhead, Frogjolnir held tightly in his webbed grasp. Bright streaks of lightning danced from the weapon, sending the would-be attackers running in an incredibly confused panic. The viking god-frog smiled in a weird way that only an anthropomorphic frog can smile, and lowered his hammer. "Y--" With a flash and a pop resembling a frog sitting on a hot plate, Throg was suddenly gone. The duck and the old man, both frazzled, looked at each other for a long moment. "Uh," he said again. "Quack," replied the duck. quote:Affiliations

 Intermission Scene: Until It Isn't* As the light fades around you, you find yourself surrounding in a futuristic space station. Technology out of your wildest dreams -- or Reed Richard's lab -- surrounds you. Looking up, you can see a galaxy spiral up above, presumably teeming with alien civilizations since this is a comic book. As you all come to, you see each other. Whether you've met before or not, well, that's up to you decide! But, regardless, it seems a bald man is ready to interrupt the silence. "I am Professor X, these are my X-men -- Storm, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Cyclops, Wolverine and Colossus." As he introduces himself, you notice the figures he's speaking of standing behind him. Some of you may know he and his students are mutuant superheroes, people who fight to protect a world that hates and fears them, but some of you may not. What do y'all do? *The Build-Up scene was called "A Normal Day" Covok fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Aug 16, 2016 |

Doctor Doom Doom glances around for only a moment before locking his gaze on Professor X. "What is the meaning of this trickery, Xavier? Is this some plan of Richards's devising, to lay me low when I would be victorious?" He turns to the rest of the heroes. "Whatever is going on, it is pointless. No matter how many of you Richards has assembled, you will never overcome the power of Doom!" He throws his cloak open with both arms as he finishes speaking, electricity crackling between his metal-gloved fingertips.

Wolverine Snikt Wolverine lets his claws go free and gives Doctor Doom a death glare. "Listen, bub, unless you want me to find out what flavor of meat is pressed and sealed inside that tin can of your's, you're going to play nice." Storm kre-boom Storm mimic's Doctor Doom's electric display with her amazing mutant powers of weather manipulation. "Metal is a good conductor of electricity, is it not?" Xavier Xavier, standing tall because this is at a point in time where he doesn't need his wheelchair, interrupts the threats. "So, Doctor Doom. Not going to say its a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but it is fair to presume you have no idea either why we're here. Troubling, as my physic powers aren't picking up any other lifeforms in the area."

Ben Grimm ".. and DIS one is fer my dear ol' Aunt Petunia!" Ben swung the parking meter like Babe Ruth if Babe Ruth were also a gorilla, scattering the Doom drones that had been swarming him; loose change showered around the big orange lug, and Ben grimaced. He had the money to pay back the city, for sure, but it was always a hassle. He dropped the remains of the parking meter and turned to face yet another Doombot, hauling his fist back for a massive haymaker.. .. and then vanished in a burst of light. Ben rematerializes, throwing his massive punch expecting to shatter a Doombot with his amazing might, but the Thing finds himself stumbling forward and losing his balance. "What the?!" He spins around at the sound of Doom's voice, pointing a chunky finger at him. "Yer behind this, Chromedome! You and yer ying yang mumbo jumbo!" He hesitates as he spies the X-Men, raising a rocky eyebrow. "Heyyy, Peter! And Logan." Ben glowers at Wolverine for a moment, unconsciously rubbing part of his face before finally looking around at wherever they ended up. "Ah, hell. What kinda revoltin' development did we get inta this time?"

Spider-Man Great! Can't even rest for five minutes before the X-Men decide to teleport him for whatever reason. Again. Then Doom (why is Doom here) accuses the X-Men, only for the Professor to reveal he has no idea what's going on either. Wait, hold on a minute. "So, uh, how long have you guys been standing there, or does Professor X always have a fancy introduction for the X-Men on hand? It's kinda a weird way to say hello, I was at your school two days ago. And it's not like anyone here doesn't have years of history with each other." Doom, Thing, Johnny, pretty obvious how they're connected. X-Men are the X-Men, and of course everyone knows the Amazing Spider-Man, since it's not like JJJ would let anyone forget. And, uh, what looked like a discount Captain America, so maybe not all of the people here were famous, but-  "...why is there a frog dressed up like Thor? Did Thor lose a bet again?"

MVP Mike just stands there, mouth open. He's standing in some sort of super-space-age building, and surrounded by super-heroes. And Dr. Doom, who occupies a more nebulous space for Mike, mentally -- on the one hand, fighting against the Fantastic Four, unambiguous heroes, and an authoritarian ruler of Latveria, but on the other hand, only one of the Four can really be called a genuinely nice person and Latveria has been making leaps and strides into the 21st century. "Um. Wow. Hi. Whoa. This is pretty freaky. Uh, I've heard of all of you, except for you, Mister Frog Guy, I don't know your name, sorry. Um, you can all call me MVP, I guess. A bunch of super-people and me, wow, never thought this would happen. Um. Can we maybe not get mad and yelly and especially not hitty?" He feels very awkward, to put it mildly.

Ben Grimm The Thing turns as he hears Parker's voice, grinning from ear to ear. "Well now, if it ain't my favorite wallcrawler!" He laughs, throwing an arm roughly around Peter's shoulders and dragging him in for a light noogie. "How ya doin', kiddo? Yer aunt doin' good?" He glances at Doom as he speaks, making a mental note to not let too much about Parker's identity slip out; that was the sort of thing Victor would use against both Parker and Ben, and Ben knows he couldn't live with himself if he got the kid or his aunt hurt. Which gives him pause. He loosens his grip on Parker as his brow furrows deeply, visibly going into deep thought. Victor was good with his sorcery and his technology and all that nonsense, but he never really tangoed with the X-Men or Spider-Man. Yeah, Peter had fought Doom a few times, but that was as an addition to the team, not a regular foe. No, Doom was the big leagues, and didn't much deal in the sort of politics that Xavier and his kids would get involved with. Hell, Latveria was downright progressive when it came to powered beings, so long as they were willing to work for Victor. Ben cocks his head to one side, looking hard at Victor. "You really didn't have nuttin' ta do wit' this, did ya, Vic? I mean, it don't make no sense, bringin' Charlie and his kids here, or Spidey. Me an' Johnny, sure, but this kid?" He gestures to MVP. "And.. holy Hannah, you ain't kiddin', Webhead. That's a frog dressed like Thunderbritches himself." He gives Throg a hard stare before shambling over to him, squatting down with a chuckle and giving him a poke with a chubby orange finger. "So, what, ya brotha' do this to ya? You come from outer space? What's ya story, Frog o' Thunder?" Grimm chuckles heartily to himself at that one. He'd have to tell Reed and Susie about that line later on.

Throg The others were having their fun, but the Thunderer simply let it slide off his slippery back. He knew many of these heroes by reputation, and was well aware of their penchant for being flippant. Throg raised himself to his full godly height--which, while not impressive, Throg still tried his best to put on his divine airs--and regarded the others with a firm stare. "Yea, `tis Throg, Frog of Thunder, who doth stand before thee," he said confidently. "And truly, I am just as befuddled as thou'rt, in regards to our current location. At first, I thought perhaps I had been summoned by the All-Father Odin! Yet..." Throg looked around at everyone who had been assembled. Doom, too, he had heard of, spoken in harsh whispers, his name always said with fear and anger both. Like the Thing, Throg was ready to assume the worst with Doom, but when the villainous mastermind expressed his own confusion, the Frog of Thunder's suspicions began to melt. "This be most unlike hallowed Asgard, or the magnificent chambers of the All-Knowing." Throg let out a low croak of distaste, keeping one hand on his hammer.

 Victor von Doom Doom folds his arms across his chest, a sneer audible in his voice as he speaks. "Doom had victory firmly within his grasp, and you think he would be so foolish as to alter the battlefield against his favor? To allow the Fantastic Four to bring in reinforcements, even as pitiful as the X-Men? Even if Doom craved such a meager challenge, he would not waste his time on such insignificant gnats such as Grimm and Storm, let alone the Spider-Man." For a long moment, Doom is silent as he listens to the others speak; given time, he could figure out whether the teleportation effects had been magical or technological, but in the end, what caused it didn't matter so much as whom. Someone had been able to pierce his techno-magical force field, and pull him free of it. Doom did not like that one bit. He gives Throg a long, appraising stare. When he speaks, it is with the conviction and confidence Doom is normally associated with. "Do not think that simply wielding a scrap of a god's power makes one a god; Doom is the only one here that even approaches godliness, and he only chooses restraint to amuse himself. You have been brought here by mistake, little toad. Doom sees all."

Narrator and Xavier As the heroes -- and one dastardly dictator of doom and despair -- converse amongst themselves, Xavier face makes a sudden shocking change of expression. "Everyone, please, I can sense another group. They just arrived in an adjacent satellite. And...you're not going to like who I sensed." Wolverine "Who is it, Charlie? Someone whose more troublesome than Tin-can?" Wolverine said with his trademark wit. Xavier "Much, much worse, Logan. Much worse." Narrator To the shock and horror of all the heroes -- and one dictator --, a collection of villains lay in wait in an adjacent satellite. Any hope, or worry, that they may be responsible soon fades as they all seem equally befuddled. Regardless, what an assortment of scum and villainy, heinousness and treachery, evil and cruelty: the brutish Absorbing Man, the Master Planner known as Doctor Octopus, the powerful mystic the Enchantress, Doom's future Earth counterpart Kang the Conqueror, the forever victim known as the Lizard, the activist whose turned to extremism known as Magneto, the semi-reformed Molecule Man, and the smug Ultron. Of course, none of these compare to the demi-god who towered above them: Galactus, eater of worlds and destroyer of civilizations. Unsurprisingly, the villains quarrel amongst themselves until Ultron, the instigator, has his fusion reactor sucked out with ease by Galactus and is killed. Nightcrawler "Oh mein gott, Ultron was like a gnatt before Galactus!"

I mean, I'm pretty strong and tough, but these guys are really, really bad news. What good am I even going to be here? I'm not a match for any of them." The young man isn't exactly quailing, nor does he turn and run away, but his courage hangs by a thread.

Johnny Storm Seeing MVP start to freak out at the cosmic threats before him is no surprise to Johnny. Hell, even he's wondering how they're supposed to deal with Galactus without the Watcher to bail them out. But if there's anything he's learned from the Fantastic Four, it's the value of teamwork and how a little cockiness can go a long way. "Kid, I'll be honest with you this situation looks pretty dire but you ain't in this alone. Ultron and Galactus may be over there but we got some of Earth's strongest over here. I mean there's me and Thing, the heavy hitters of the Fantastic Four and we've beaten Galactus and Kang before" Johnny flames on and starts flying around to punctuate his point "Plus the X-men over there? They beat up Magneto like every week, no problem. The rest of those guys are small-time, even Spidey could beat these guys before breakfast." Johnny neglects to mention the Thor Frog or Doom because he genuinely doesn't know what the deal is there and Doom's a jerk anyway. "Now I don't know what's going on but it's probably no coincidence some of Earth's best heroes, and Doom, are gathered here and it's probably no coincidence that you're here too. So don't think about what you CAN'T DO, think about what you CAN DO. What're your powers kid? Show me what you got!"

MVP Mike frowns, but that's still an improvement. "That's the thing, you know? I don't have any super-powers. I'm quick, and I'm strong, and I'm tough, but I don't have some sacred gem or mutant gene or radiation or whatever. I work out and run six days a week, no red meat or alcohol, I keep a positive outlook on life, that sort of thing. If I keep training, maybe I'll be as good as Captain America some day, except for the shield. And I guess if I've got heavy hitters like you and Mr. Grimm and the X-Men with me, and we've got those creeps out there, this'll be pretty good hero training, huh?" He ends up looking rather hopeful, and his posture straightens. 1 XP for saying that he has no actual powers, and 1 XP for saying that his abilities come from hard work and clean living

Ben Grimm The Thing gives a low, appreciative whistle, putting his hands on his hips. "Now THAT'S a rogue's gallery. Lesse, who we got here..." Ben gestures towards the villains with a stubby finger, his wrist turned up as he ticks them off one by one. "Kang, time travellin' tinpot in a suit, used ta that for sure." He gives Victor a sidelong glance with that statement before moving on. "Lizard, Doc Ock.. two of yer boys, Webhead. Not much for a tussle with the ever-lovin' blue eyed thing, amiright?" Ben laughs, shaking his head slightly. "Absorbin' Man ain't no chump, but me an' Johnny can double team 'em good. Molecule Man, eh.. take his little wand away and he's nothin'." Turning slightly, Ben scratches his chin before continuing. "Magneto ain't nothin' ta me. I ain't got metal in me like Colossus over there, so he's an easy clobberin'. Enchantress, though, woo." He shakes his head slowly. "Not my cuppa, I tell ya that much, kid. Now, fer Ultron?" Ben watches a moment as Ultron is destroyed and clears his throat. "Well, he's taken care of, obviously. Galactus, though? We ain't got Reed wit' us this time with his ultimate whatsistifier, but I figger with Webhead and Doom we can come up wit' somethin'." He places a hand on MVP's shoulder and grins at him. "An' you jes' keep up this Cap'n America junior act of yers and you'll go far, trust you me, kid."

Narrator As the heroes respond to the sudden arrival of unscrupulous undertakers, their eyes dart towards the sky above. The galaxy that floated above their head is suddenly destroyed! This catastrophic cosmic cataclysm is beyond understanding. After a level of destruction that would put the greatest crime of Phoenix to shame, the remnants of this once luscious lavish lane of luminescent starlights form a new planet nearby the satellites. To further drive home the eldritch display's magnanimous power, Galatcus, eater of worlds, tried to reach the being only to be struck down like a gnat! A light shoots across the sky as a message somehow travels through space, "I am from beyond! Slay your enemies and all that you desire shall be yours! Nothing you dream of is impossible for me to accomplish!." Everyone takes an emotional attack from this display of power. d12's 12 and d10's 4 for 16 and d10 for the effect die Afterwards, everyone will be transported down to Battleworld and the next scene will begin.

MVP Mike flinches at the display, but he's been raised and trained to be made of sterner stuff, earlier reaction notwithstanding. The event was not really that much of a surprise -- timing-wise, sure, but they already knew that a being of immense power was present by the assortment of people gathered there and the kind of place 'there' was. He also keeps firmly in mind that he was chosen to come here, and he has faith in his own capabilities -- MVP is no shrinking violet! Team, Clean Living, Enhanced Stamina, Psych Expert: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/431043]3d8+1d10[/url: [5,4,4],[3]. Bleah. 1 pp to have 13 d10, taking d10 stress but not being under 11. All that being said, he did just see somebody destroy a galaxy, reform part of it, and bitchslap Galactus, so 'cool' and 'collected' are not at home.

Ben Grimm Mercifully for Ben, he isn't paying a lick of attention to anything going on above him. His attention is fully upon the Frog of Thunder, having returned to a squat to poke at the critter. "So, what, you actually the Odinson, or are ya a clone? Robot? Copy? Separate but equal incarnation?" He chuckles, looking up in time to see Galactus struck down. For a long moment, Ben is silent (for once), before he gives a low appreciative whistle. "Well, this ain't gonna turn out ta be no walk in the park, that's fer sure.." Godlike Durability d12 Buddy d10 (with THROG) Cosmic Expert d8 Wotta Revoltin' Development d4 + 1 PP Defense: 1d10 5 1d12 7 1d8 8 1d4 2 7 + 8 + 2, 1d10 effect die. Spending a PP to use a third die.

"Zounds!" Throg exclaimed, his large eyes getting even bigger as Galactus was so casually turned away. "For one as mighty as the Devourer to be cast down..." The Frog of Thunder's throat expanded, and he let out a mighty croak. "Ho, evil ones! Heed the words of Throg!" he shouted again, lifting his hammer overhead. Lightning and wind tore from the weapon's enchanted head, billowing his cape in an appropriate godly fashion. "We shall rally and see thee cast down this day! `Ere the battle is joined, I say to thee now--thou hast asked for the Son of Odin, and thou hast found me instead! But by my hammer, thou shalt not find me wanting!" Buddy (Ben Grimm): 1d8 3 Frog of Thunder : 1d8 3 Mystic Resistance : 1d8 7 Combat Expert : 1d8 1 Superhuman Durability : 1d10 [b]5

Spider-Man 0 PP, 1 XP "Huh." That sure was...something, alright. Unable to help himself, Spider-Man elbows Johnny. "Wonder how long it took for this mystery person to come up with that animation? Please tell me someone actually gave Mysterio a budget and this is what he came up with." Somewhere, in the back of Peter's mind, he realizes that this probably wasn't any kind of illusion, but until he can somehow process what just happened he might as well just treat it as a joke. After all, a Frog Thor is currently hurling a challenge into the empty sky, how could anyone take this seriously? Trying to laugh it off, spending a PP, total is 19, d10 effect. (Buddy (Johnny) d10+Wisecracker d8+Stamina d8+Psych Expert 2d6) +1 XP for cracking a joke in a serious situation. Astus fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Aug 28, 2016 |

Johnny Storm "Yeah... maybe ol' fishbowl held hollywood ransom or something, got them to fund his debut film: Earth's Finest Heroes stomp my face for 2 hours, a Three Act Tragedy." Parker's wisecracking helps Johnny ground himself after seeing Galactus, who he thought was the toughest dude this side of the galaxy, get dunked like he was nothing. This Beyonder's either bigger than anything he's ever seen or has something that lets him overpower Galactus. Or he's Mysterio (never that easy but one can hope). Either way, he's using this power to pit a bunch of heroes and villains against each other like toy soldiers. Few things burn Johnny up more than someone toying with him, cosmic goliath or not. So what if he beat Galactus? So did the Fantastic Four. All they need is a plan but first... "Man as much as I want to take a shot at this Beyonder, dealing with the Sinister Schmucks before they start giving us trouble is probably the smarter move." Johnny smiles wryly at Peter and slaps him on the back. "Light years away from home and we still can't get away from fighting bad guys. What a life we live, eh Spidey?" As Johnny grows more excited for the fights ahead, he unconsciously starts to heat up the air around him a bit. Beyonder ain't poo poo but cosmic tricks: 2#1d6 1 2 1d8 8 1d10 10 Rolled using Cosmic Expert 2d6, Hot-Headed Hero 1d8 and Buddy w/Spidey 1d10. Total is 18 with a d6 effect. I rolled a one so add another die to the doom pool.

Alright, we'll just let Doom take his defense retroactively later. And Fatsamurai you need to pick two results to be your final result and a die size for your effect. You just need to meet it to resist it. The humanity of it all sets in for some, but there is no time to stand there and be dumbfounded. God or Devil, it doesn't matter: the die has been cast and Rubicon crossed. The ultimate battle of good and evil begins! Let heroes fall, villains cry, and worlds live and die: for now, it is the beginning of an irrevocable future.* Just as before, you are engulfed in a bright, white light and find yourself in a barren dessert. It stretches as far as the eye can see. Action Scene The X-men are missing. Whether this is the Beyonder's game or something unrealted is irrelevant, however, as four familiar fiendish and furious faces lie on the horizon. The dimwitted Adonis known as Absorbing Man. The fem fatale feared as the Enchantress. The rulers of all he sees and one of the few men who can pull off purple and green, Kang the Conqueror. The unfortunate victim of science gone wrong, the Lizard. Hungry for violence, full of spite and anger, the war to them is nothing more than semantics: they have been trying to end you and win their own goals for years. This has always been a war to them. However, heroes of justice, tempered by the rule of law and righteous, you've always mistook their war for cop work. It is about time for that delusion to end. I like Spiderman, you want to go first and start this scene? *except for how we recton or undo a lot of this later, sometimes within the series itself.

Spider-Man 0 PP, 1 XP "Oh good, some cosmic being has summoned heroes and villains to fight for its amusement, again. Do space gods not have TV? You think Reed could set them up with something, would probably save everyone else some hassle." Even with the joke, the Amazing Spider-Man is the first one to move, swinging through the air. Absorbing Man, the Enchantress, and Kang won't give them any choice besides a fight, they're either too evil or too dumb to realize there's no point to any of this. But no matter how many times he succumbs to his bestial form, Connors is still a decent person inside. So long as he stays just out of range of that tail, he should be able to talk him down while everyone else deals with the other three. "Dr Connors, you're a long way away from the sewers. What made you take the serum again this time? You know this never works out for you, and we've gone over many times that you always have a choice. So make a choice right now, and stop fighting. You're too smart to be manipulated like this." Talking down the Lizard by inflicting emotional stress. Total is 13, d8 effect. Sadly no 1's, so still at 0 PP's. (Team d6+With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility d8+Swingline d8+Psych Expert 2d6) I think another hero should go up next.

 Team d8 + Curt Connors Buried Within d4 (add d6 or step up die in Doom Pool) + Leaping d6 + Menace Expert d8 = 1, 2,5,8 = 13 with a d8 effect die. Doom Pool was at 4d6, now it is 3d6 + 1d8. Astus, you can activate that 1 with a PP. You inflict d8 Emotional stress on the Lizard. "It was not my choice, Sssspiderman!" The Lizard growls. "Connorssss couldn't handle the sssstress of being abducted and had to crawl to me for help: the sssshock awoke me and now I'll kill yo-" The Lizard grabs his head as he stumbles around for a bit. "Spiderman, help me!" That light, as bright as it was, was a false sign as the Lizard returns to his skulking posture with death in his eyes. "Don't expect your words to work on me!"

Ben Grimm Ben squints as the scenery changes, blinking his big ol' blue eyes at the now vast desert around them. "Johnny, why's it always a desert? If it's gotta be sand, why can't we end up in Copacabana or somethin'?" He sighs, rubbing a hand over his rocky head, turning just after the villains have materialized and Spider-Man has taken off. Grimm grins, putting a hand on his hip and dramatically looking at his left wrist. "Well, wouldja lookit the time! Mickey's pointin' both of his hands right at the CLOBBERIN' HOUR!" The Thing slams both of his rocky fists together with a mighty crack, his brow furrowing as his grin widens. He was pressed with a major decision at this point in time; who does he clobber first? And then it hits Ben. Why choose? He was the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing. Spreading his legs to adopt a more stable stance, Ben roars out as he drives both of his fists deep into the ground, his muscles bulging and straining as he tears up a very chunk of the earth itself, striding forward and hefting it over his head as soon as it is free; bits of debris fall from the chunk he's excavated. Getting a running start, the Thing squats down and leaps high into the air, rearing back and hurling the massive chunk of earth at the trio of villains. It was clobberin' time, so why not clobber? Using Collateral Damage to give Covok a d6 in the doom pool and add a d10 stunt. Area Attack to target both Kang, Enchantress, and Absorbing Man. Godlike Strength d12 Stunt d10 Buddy d10 (Johnny) It's Clobberin' Time! d8 Combat Expert d8 Area Attack 2d6 THING SMASH: 1d12 12 2#1d10 8 1 2#1d8 5 5 2#1d6 3 2 Roll is 12+8, assigning a d10 to Kang, and a d8 apiece to Enchantress and Absorbing Man. There's an opportunity for ol' Covok as well. Villain acts next.

Doom Pool: 3d6 + 1d8 "Rawr! Do you think your wordsss will take down the Lord of Reptilesssss?" With a mighty leap, the poor, unfortunate Dr. Connors lets loose with bestial fury. Against a normal man, this leap would spell almost certain doom, but our friendly neighborhood wallcrawler isn't your average man. Using Multipower SFX so that I can combine Superhuman Strength with Enhanced Reflexes and Leaping. This gives me a d6 and 2d4. I will also the Claws and Fangs SFX so I can add a d6 to the pool by lowering my highest die pool by 1. This will increase physical stress by +1 as well. So, I roll, 1d8 (Team) + 1d8 (Savage Lizard) + 1d6 (Superhuman Strength) + 1d4 (Enhanced Reflexes) + 1d4 (Leaping) + 1d6 (Claws and Fangs) + 1d8 (Acrobatics Expert). I step back Team to a d6, because of Claws and Fangs. I rolled 6, 8, 1, 6, 1, 3, and 3. Two opportunities for players to exploit if they want to add to my Doom Pool. My total is 6+8 = 14 and d8 for effect. This d8 is increased to d10 due to claws and fangs. This was to instill Physical Stress. Spiderman, you need to react. Afterwards, I pass to Doctor Doom.

Knew I forgot something. Okay, first off, Doom Pool was actually 4d6+1d8 And, this:  Absorbing Man didn't get his name from letting big boulders crush him. No, this towering titan of muscular might got his name from a particular set of skills. Team (d8) + Mimic (d12) + Combat Expert (2d6) = 11, 6 , 6, 3 11+6 = 17 and effect die is a d12. Miss, however, I spend a d6 from the doom pool to use this particular special effect anyway. I can turn the effect die used against Abosrbing Man into a Power related to it: Enhanced Strength d8 for rock body. Doom is now 3d6 + 1d8 As the minion brained brusier tries to grab and absorb the rock, the Thing's force hits him where it hurts and reminds him why the blue-eyed astronaut is no pushover. d8 physical stress to Abosrbing Man, no point in using a bigger effect die to try to lower this as it would make this an extraordinary success and make that effort moot.  As the machismo powerhouse tries to absorb the blow, the fem fatale of Asgard decides to use a more sensible approach. "Throwing rocks? But, I thought you loved me, you blue-eyed Thing. Well, you will at least. Once we can stop this wedge between us." She breaks from the group and tries to jump over the rock and at Thing. It seems that her membership in this team-up was short lived. Solo (d8) + Enhanced Reflex (d8) + Acrobatics Master (d10) = 5, 3, 3. 5+3 = 8 and d10 for the effect die. This means she takes d8 physical as the extraordinary success and the reaction's bigger effect die cancel out to zero sum. While the asgardian may be quite limber, she lacked good forethought on this plan. Her legs scrap the boulder and ruin her stride. Crashing down into the ground in an embarrassing display. Kang couldn't make himself farther from this embarrassment. It was a sorry sight and, as the asgardian lay face down, she made a promise to herself that such a display would not be seen again today. No, she would make the Thing love her and turn him on his friendy, Johnny. All because of the emotion welling up inside her now: anger. The Thing gets a Plot Point and the Enchantress is saving a d10 stunt die for later.  "Ah, so the fool resorts to the most base and barbaric of weapons: a rock. A rock against the Kang the Conqueror. Does he believe me to be a child? A fool? A knaive? How sad to be so delusional." Kang begins to teleport away from his spot. Solo (d10, because Kang doesn't work with other people) + Teleportation (d10) + Tech Master (d10) = 4,9,6 = 15 and d10 effect die As the conqueror of another Earth in another time gloats, he was, perhaps, a bit too slow. The boulder hits him straight on and hits him hard. The force was powerful and knocked him straight out. That is, if he hadn't planned for this. Spending a d6 out of the doom pool to reroll using a SFX called Flashback Doom Pool is now 2d6 + 1d8 4,7,10 = 17 and d10 effect die. No extraordinary success this time. No, the mad conqueror had foreseen his defeat in such an undignified manner and had prepared for it. While the boulder still struck him, he teleported before the full force could hit him. At the very least, the crushing weight did not get him. He had his machine preloaded to get him away. The pressing of the button was ceremonial, to make it all seem spur of the moment. Kang takes d10 physical stress. He knew this would happen regardless of what he did, The mad conqueror is making sure to keep his guard up to avoid future embarrassment. Thing get 1 PP and Kang is saving a d8 Push die. Thing you got 2 plot points from them saving up the benefits of your opportunity. Covok fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Sep 5, 2016 |
