 "Yes indeed! A great and glorious plan it is too!" said Starfox, lifting a rock about the same size as the young man lifts. If he can. He tries to get some measure of the youth's strength knowing what he himself can lift and what kind of effort would need to be applied to life the rocks he's lifting. OOC Reason feat or something he can figure out simply by lifting rocks? if Reason then sZeGn21n1-100. Once he's figured out roughly how strong the youth is he'll know how much of his own strength to apply into a blow to subdue him. I.e. the whole lot or somewhat less.1-100 |

Follow the yellow brick road.
Wanda gestured, weaving a hex around the football players. Soon, up was right, down was left, and they would find themselves walking around in circles if she had anything to do with it.
=========================================
[OOC: Using her ability to manipulate probability fields, Wanda tries to fool the footballers into thinking they are heading the right way, driving them in circles until they give up and head back, because after marching in circles for awhile, there's no place like home.

Wandavision
As Vision chases the football players, Wanda tries to obscure the path ahead, but doesn't know herself which is the right or wrong way.
Starfox
As Eros plays along, watching the young man move the boulders, he judges that the human's strength is on par with his own.
"It's working!" the teen exclaims. "With the physical power I'm able to mimic from you, I can easily reach the machine buried under all this debris. Then I'll make them pay for what happened to my dad!"
Captain Marvel
Monica Rambeau, outside the cave under the hill and holding the headset, hears the sounds of rocks being moved within the cavern. Behind her she also hears the football players approaching.
"Hutt! Hutt! Hutt! Hutt!" the high school athletes chant, as they hustle toward the mine entrance.

Captain Marvel pulls out her communicard before heading into the lab, radioing Vision.
"We've found the cave- but I think someone's already digging in."
With that, she transforms into a mass of X-Rays and flies down into the depths- hoping the tunnel doesn't turn into a grave.

"I see... I'll be there as soon as I can. Just be warned we're probably gonna have civilian company despite my best efforts." Vision says.
continuing to fly towards the cave.

Starfox winces. Then he puts another smile on and adds "Wait! Wait my friend. If you continue to move these rocks without help you will cause a great cave in! Why... it could even bring the mountain DOWN!" "Wait for just a few moments for my friends to arrive. One among them has strength that could only be described as astonishing! He can move these rocks or... or my other friends could simply melt a hole through them and ensure that whatever is in the cave is save from any potential cave in!" ACTIONS
Try to stall this guy for a few moments till the others get here. Mental Tickle ccVIly291-100. I guess I'm due a few lousy rolls. The run I've had in this game up to now is by far the best run of results on this forum!1-100 |

OOC looks like my run is continuing. For now. Can I share out my good fortune?

Starfox
The young man agrees with Eros that a cave in would be bad and adjusts his flashlight to look over the rubble, until suddenly he becomes light himself!
"Hah! Now I can melt my way through the debris!"
Captain Marvel
Before Monica can decide if she should leave the headset behind and turn into a mass of x-rays, the opening in the hill illuminates with light. Inside she can see Starfox with a being of living light.
Vision
Since the Vision can fly faster than a team of sprinting teenage boys, he catches up to the football players as they approach Captain Marvel at the entrance to the mine. Vision and the teens can see a light coming from inside, but they are not close enough to see what shines so bright from within the previously dark cavern.
Scarlet Witch
Wanda lags behind. Perhaps wearing high heels as part of her costume was not the best idea. When she catches up it is because the boys and her husband all pause as they approach an opening at the bottom of a nearby hill.

Vision finally flys inside the cave. "Stop this madness at once!" he orders boosting his density just in case.
Increasing Density to Amazing once I make it inside the cave.

Light's a bad sign. A REALLY bad sign, she thinks.
"OH NO! We didn't come THIS far just to trip at the finish line!"
Knowing from experience to keep her powers in check, Monica fires a beam of energy at the figure- Incredible Damage.

Starfox holds out a hand as if to stop the energy blast aiming for the youngster who is mimicking powers but knows it is a futile gesture. "Wait! There is no need to fight! We can get to the bottom of this mystery together and help each other, as friends do!" he exclaims. Inwardly he knows that the chances of continually being able to influence this... being... are shrinking rapidly - especially as the other Avengers are intent on attacking him! ACTIONS
Try anyway. Mental Tickle on the guy to ask him to wait and talk things out before doing anything else. At this rate he'll copy so many powers it will be like fighting ourselves. Only one I can think of (off top of my head) in Marvel like this guy is the Super Adaptoid, someone I ran into as Captain Britain... rOyGtKwJ1-100[/color] 1-100 |

While her lighter-than-air synthezoid husband and the living energy being Captain Marvel race off to the mine, Wanda hustles to keep up with a gaggle of (admittedly quite athletic) teenage boys. Even for all of her Avengers training, it was no small feat.
She shouts after them:
"Hey, uh, are you sure that's the right way?"
She had tried and failed to steer them off course, but was not sure herself any longer which way to go. Luckily, she managed to keep up and saw them peering into what looked like some sort of cavern or burrow.
"That um...looks dangerous. If you get hurt mucking about in there, you might miss the big game?"

The Vision's entry distracts the glowing young man long enough for Captain Marvel to project an energy bolt.
ZAPT!
"WHA--??!" the teen exclaims as he's hit by an incredible amount of electro-magnetic energy.
The young man then turns from energy to flesh and blood, before calling out, "Help! Protect me!" The young man's pleading is directed at Starfox, who suddenly feels that he must comply!
[OOC: Starfox must take action to protect the young man, but after this round's action you may make a Psyche FEAT roll to recover from being agreeable to his suggestions.]
The football team also hears the young man's cry for help.
"Calvin's in trouble!"
"Tackle these creeps!"
Two of the four football players who go for Captain Marvel, tackle her to the ground. (Monica is in a Hold and takes 20 Health damage.)
The other four football players surround the Vision and have him held in place, but he neither falls nor takes any damage.
This is the scene that Wanda sees as she enters the cave entrance talking about missing a big game. It looks like the game started without her.
Captain Marvel Health: 40 (was 60)
Captain Marvel Karma: 12 (was 22)
Conditions: Held - The two football players who have Captain Marvel in a hold can automatically cause another 20 damage next round, unless Monica can escape on her turn. She has the headset.
Scarlet Witch Health: 46
Scarlet Witch Karma: 60
Conditions: None. (FYI: I decided that only a successful use of Scarlet Witch's Probability Field Alteration power after the first on the same day requires a shift one column to the left. So since your first FEAT roll failed, you are still at full power.)
Starfox Health: 110
Starfox Karma: 56
Conditions: Helpless and agreeable to suggestions from the young man, named Calvin. Currently, he has been suggested to help protect Calvin. Starfox may make a Psyche FEAT roll at the end of his turn to free his mind.
Vision Health: 140
Vision Karma: 56
Conditions: Amazing Density (AMAZING Body Armor, can charge for AMAZING damage, weighs 50 tons, Fighting = GOOD, Agility = TYPICAL). Held - There is currently only one football player who has Vision in a hold and he has not been able to hurt the amazingly dense Vision.
Note: Harming a high school football player means losing some Karma.

OOC Ahhh Calvin Rankin. The Mimic. I remember his first appearance in the X Men (albeit a 70s reprint, I'm not *that* old!) and it's been an age - decades - since I've heard the name mentioned. Not that Starfox knows anything about him of course...Starfox leaps between the young man and Captain Marvel. "No! Stop! Stop fighting! We're all friends here! No need to fight!" ACTIONS
Huh, so that's what being on the end of a mental tickle feels like!
Let's see if Foxy can resist it. After the last roll my luck may have changed (for the worse) but let's hope it was just a blip!

OOC Lol, a great run of luck, then a naff roll and now we resume normal service with a '2'. Yup, that's about right!
