Your head is still thumping a melodic rhythm when you come to. Slowly you realize that it's not the blood pounding in your forehead, but the steady beat of many drums. You are at the base of an Aztec step-pyramid. The three tiers of the pyramid are manned by robots in Aztec dress, wielding large poleaxes that look like fire axes. At the pinnacle of the pyramid, a robotic high chief flanked by two drummers is conducting a sacrificial ritual. Behind the high priest, the sacrifice is tied to a large, circular stone. The sacrifice is Alicia Masters!

The Human Torch
"Alicia!" cries Johnny. "Flame on!"
Johnny hopes he's dried out enough to use his powers. So far he's been on the wrong end of a battering, a kidnapping and a soaking! He didn't feel very fantastic. At all.
ACTIONS
Hopefully Johnny does indeed flame on and takes to the air to fly nearer to where Alicia is. The plan is to blast the high priest robot but not sure if he can flame on and attack in the same round. If he can attack, blast High Priest 2UPBXoVr1-100

Johnny flames on and tries flying to the top of the pyramid, but he's in for a surprise! Each side of the top step is equipped with three powerful water cannons, manned by little robot firemen. After the Human Torch hits the chief with a flame blast, the firemen fire! IL8FwOs31d1001d1001d1001d100�1d100�1d100 |

The water cannons cause Amazing damage to the Torch and douse his flame for three rounds!
Johnny falls onto the step-pyramid's stairway at the second tier. The top tier is two stories above him, but this level's robot Aztec is now approaching him with a poleaxe!
The drummers keep thundering away on their drums.

The Human Torch
"Oh boy. Here we go again." muttered Johnny. He runs to one of the drummers and see what he can do - if anything - to disrupt the sound in case that is somehow tied to what is going on.
(OOC I'm out of ideas here - without his flame Johnny Storm is hopeless.)
ACTIONS
Does his flamed on Body Armour not stop any damage at all? Reason check to see if the drummers are somehow tied into running the robots or something. At any rate going in the opposite direction of the giant robot or the aztec thing with the poleaxe.

OOC: Water is the Human Torch's weakness and affects him in specific ways when he is flamed on. If Johnny was in human form, the water would not have hurt so much. The soggy Johnny Storm sloshes up the steps onto the pinnacle of the pyramid, where the robotic high chief, the two drummers and Alicia are. The drumming is making it hard for Johnny to concentrate, but it looks like the robot drummers aren't too tough. He can probably take them each out with a punch. However, the high chief though looks like he'd be immune to anything Johnny can do without his powers. And the Human Torch now has its attention. Also on this top step are six water cannons manned by little robot firemen and Alicia tied to a circular stone that is two stories tall. Map Notes: The Human Torch started at the bottom of the map, but flew up the steps toward that top 6 story level up top. (The 8s show that the circular disk Alicia is tied to is 2 stories tall.) After being shot down, he fell on the steps just short of the top, ran up and around the perimeter to either the right or left (your choice) to investigate a drummer.

Suddenly Johnny hears the Thing yell, "Get away from her!" and then he sees Ben charging toward the Aztec robot on the first tier of the step pyramid.

The Human Torch
Somewhat on the back foot having not had chance to use his powers since this whole mess started and on his last leg where a stiff breeze would knock him over Johnny realised it would be crazy to go for a target he couldn't take on while powerless.
With that in mind he moves around to the left to take on (and hopefully out) a drummer so that damned noise would be drowned out. There MUST be some connection to it and everything else that was going on.
He hoped.
ACTIONS
Move to a drummer and sock him in the mouth. At this stage we'll try anything. If attacked used Karma to avoid a blow as much as possible.

While the chief is distracted by the surprise appearance of the Thing, Johnny silences the drummer on the left. But now he'll have to get past the chief to reach the second drummer!

The Human Torch
All out defensive was the way to go! He sprinted at the robot, ducked to the left then at the last moment to the right! Unfortunately he wasn't a high school football star much preferring cars and girls and the main lesson he took from all of this was that he needed to be MORE than the Human Torch. Sure he hit the gym but he needed to be bigger, a better fighter, have other options rather than relying on his powers!
ACTIONS
Try to run past and dodge the robot thingie

The chief's attach suffers a -4 CS penalty, due to Johnny's dodging.

The chief has force blasters in its palms and uses them to knock out the Human Torch!
Please decide if you will use Karma on the roll and then make an Endurance FEAT roll.

Success. The Human Torch, just passes out.
When he recovers, someone is carrying him like a sack of potatoes down a dimly lit passageway.

The Human Torch
Somewhat disappointed at his inability to stay conscious or with functioning powers or indeed be very fantastic in any measurable way Johnny stays limp and doesn't react/move, wondering where he's being taken to, why, and who is behind all of this. Thankfully his buddy and general pain in the butt insult sparring partner Spiderman isn't here to see him hefted around like a sack of potatoes. That really would be a revoltin' development, to quote someone else.
ACTIONS
Let's see where he's being taken before trying to FLAME ON and actually manage to succeed at something...
