Logan was still on the defensive, knowing that his healing factor would prove ineffective against being entangled in the thick web-like substance that composed Brock’s living costume. He did manage to seize a perceived opportunity and make one quick strike towards Venom’s jaw, though it was a kick that the creature easily dodged. The Wolverine silently cursed the prescient as he took a step back, out of Venom’s reach. His attack hadn’t been for naught, however, as it had thrown his foe off balance long enough that he couldn’t get a good shot off with his webs. The projectile shot ineffectually from Brock’s arm, leaving his wrist at such an odd angle that Logan was quite capable of dodging it. What the symbiote and its host seemed to fail to realize was that the longer this fight went on, the stronger their opponent became…
Meanwhile, Frank was clearly not affected by the steadily growing sound of booing, as he walked over to Bullseye’s unconscious form and put several more rounds into his upper body. The loud reports were drowned out by the jeering of the crowd, which only intensified as bright red ribbons flew from the wounds in a macabre fountain. The assassin wasn’t going to be doing any more ring fighting, that was now certain.
((OOC: How am I doing guys? Like I said, first time I GMed on these boards, so any hints and/or suggestions are welcome!))

Frank rolled his head around his neck a moment before he turned towards the other combatant. There was no real way for Frank to hurt that thing without some fire... Frank winced as he turned to the crowd. Liquor. The crowd had liquor. Frank just needed to hope that Wolverine could hold off Brock for just a few more moments, and then they'd be able to finish him off. Frank moved to the edge of the ring, pointing his gun into the crowd. He growled out each word threateningly.
"Give me a bottle of liquor. Now."

I'm not going to spend any stones on this, I figure them seeing me waste Bullseye would be reason enough to give me a bottle of liquor, so I'll regen another three stones. You're doing great, Deadpool, keep up the good work!

(OOC: You bet'cha! I'm really starting to enjoy this fight! You're doing great, Deadpool.)
Logan listened to the gunshots with satisfaction, as the Punisher finished Bullseye once and for all. Without looking away from his foe, he said to Castle:
-You know, if we do get out of here alive, I guess that there will be a whole lot less bad guys to worry about.
Venom had trouble hitting him, but he wasn't much more advanced. However, the black brute was probably not going to be able to keep up much longer. Or so did Wolverine hoped... He was hoping to buy some time before making his final blow.
-Two down, one more to go, Brock!
Trying to block incoming attacks with his left hand's claws, he slashed at his opponent with the right.

Logan took another chance at a perceived hole in Venom’s defenses, swiping at the symbiote with one hand while still readying his other to destroy any incoming webbing. He made a life-threatening mistake ,however, over-committing to the attack and throwing himself off balance. The vicious symbiote was quick to capitalize on this mistake, leaping back and laughing evilly as it fired a thick strand of webbing onto Logan’s exposed side. The force of the impact threw the mutant to the ground, where he lie helpless as the living material spread over his frame and held him fast to the ground.
“We’ve got you now Wolverine!”Venom snarled, advancing on the prone SHIELD agent.
The Punisher leveled his gun at a section of the crowd, which shut them up pretty quickly. Within seconds however, they resumed their jeering, seemingly unafraid. Or perhaps they simply didn’t believe that Frank would kill them. Whatever the case, it appeared that he was out of luck…until a plump man fought his way to the front of the crowd with a bottle of scotch.
“Here Castle! I’ve got my life savings on you two!” he yelled, tossing the bottle into Frank’s waiting hand before taking a punch to the face from the man next to him. Supporting the two agents obviously wasn’t the popular choice…

Frank could care less what happened to the man, as he was probably going to torch the place anyway. His movements were quick, Logan didn't have much chance on his own anymore, so every moment counted. In one quick movement, he had knelt next to Bullseye's body, ripped off a piece of the fabric from his mask and tucked it into the open bottle. He pulled a lighter from the inside of his coat and set the fabric ablaze, glaring furiously towards Venom as he stood up with the bottle in hand. The bloodthirsty monster was most likely going to be too preoccupied with Wolverine to do anything about the bottle that he now hurled at the back of the symbiote, firing a couple of shots for good measure to make sure that it burst just before impact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Health: 3/3
Energy: 9/9
1st: 4 stones into ranged combat to throw the Molotov kocktail at Venom's back, which is six stones with the targeting.
2nd: I'll also spend another 1 stone on shooting the bottle out of the air just before impact. With the 1 stone as a base attack, the gun makes it five, and the targeting makes it 7.

(I'm using the entangle house rules, so the only way for you to escape is going to be to break the bonds, using your Str. and claws. You don't want to just wait for the stuff to disintegrate, because it will take a long time. Also, the fire is going to hurt Venom, but not the parts of him that aren't attached.)

Wolverine was now stuck because of Venom's symbiotic webbing, but at least he was no longer wounded. However, he was not going to remain that way much longer if he did nothing, because he was an easy target when not moving... Hoping that Castle's attacks would lure the monster away, he attempted to break free with his claws...

Venom practically cackled with glee as he advanced on his captured prey, then burst into maniac laughter as he skillfully leapt through the air and landed heavily on Wolverine’s stomach. Logan coughed up blood, though with his healing factor it seemed more of an inconvenience than an injury… (2w damage)
“Say goodnight—“ the symbiote begins to taunt, before rifle fire and the sound of shattering glass interrupt him. Venom looks up just in time to catch a face full of flaming scotch, centered right on his gaping maw.
The shriek emitting from the creature silences the whole of the arena for a moment, cutting through all of the other noise and curdling the blood of everyone in earshot. Venom falls to the ground and writhes, futilely trying to extinguish the flames, while the Punisher watches on in stoic silence. Black tendrils of webbing-like liquid spring from the villain’s chest and arms in what looks like an attempt to escape from the rest of the symbiote, and Brock claws and rips at his own living costume to try to earn some reprieve from the obvious agony.
After a few seconds, the stadium practically erupts in applause, boos, and general revelry, while the creatures who collectively made up Venom stop moving altogether.
Logan’s claws tear through the webbing, perforating it enough for his well-muscled upper arms to do the rest of the work. As he gets to his feet, his animalistic senses alert him to an all too familiar scent on the breeze, as well as two other smells that are tied to very unpleasant memories of his…
The sound of steel grinding on steel alerts the two agents to the location of their new enemies, and the noise of a snarling animal confirms it. Their eyes fall on a tall woman with scaly blue skin, touting a massive automatic rifle on her back and holding a chain in both hands, a small man with an ill appearing green tint holding nothing but a similar chain, and a massive creature in the center of them, bound by the steel links that were going to the hands of those flanking him. The wall quickly closed behind them, ensuring that the two agents were not going to escape that way. At least, not yet…
“Long time no see, Wolverine,” the fur-covered center man growled, a hint of sadistic glee in his voice. He strained at the chains, and the other two had to dig their feet into the sand to keep him from tackling the Wolverine right then.
“Sabretooth,” Logan snarled back, as the other two villains released the chains, the blue woman whipping her rifle to bear while the man leapt into the air.

These were mutants, one look was all he needed. He recognized Sabretooth instantly, but the green one he didn't. The blue woman might have been Mystique, but it was hard to make out from this distance. That's what the scope was for.
Frank sized up her distance as he leveled his rifle, all of this taking almost half a second. He was too used to this stuff now. It was going to take some priority fire to level both of the attackers, but Frank had done this a million times before. Second nature. But, even he knew his limits.
"Logan, we can't keep this up. Next chance we get, we're findin' an exit."
It didn't make sense, having all these villains in one place. Sure, they probably all wanted their shot at one agent or the other, but this was odd. Most of them couldn't stand each other. So, what was going on?
Questions were going to be answered. Right now, though, it was time to drop a couple of bodies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Health: 3/3
Energy: 7/9
1st: 4 stones into Ranged Combat for firing at the blue girl, most likely Mystique, making that attack total 10 with the weapon and the targeting.
2nd: 3 stones into ranged combat for blasting the green guy, I'm guessing Toad, out of the air right after shooting the woman. Basically think of it as a sweeping shot that starts on her and ends on him. Total for this attack is 9.
Defense: 2 for Kevlar, 1 for Reflexive Dodge

(I might be wrong Punisher, but don't you only get to add your Targeting and Wpn Modifier to the action box once? That would make it 13 stones (7 RC +2 Targeting +4 Wpn mod) that you would have to split between the two.)

Wolverine had trouble holding up; it almost seemed like their opponents consisted mostly of either very strong villains, very good ranged fighters or well-defended against close combat foes. Logan could have destroyed easely any one of these fools alone, but not one after the other... and now, to top it all, he was facing Sabertooth while out of breath and wounded by Venom's attacks. Anyday he would have liked to beat the crap out of his arch-enemy... but today wasn't a good day at all.
-You're tellin' me Castle... Fact is, I might not even get any chance at all!
Looking at Sabertooth who was growling and drawing near, he started to run away while protecting himself with his claws, hoping that Sabertooth didn't guessed he would run instead of fighting, and also hoping that this would drew him away from Frank, as neither him, exausted as he was, nor the Punisher could probably sustain an attack from a fully-rested Sabertooth...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start:
Health:3/5
Energy:3/15
2 stones into Speed to get the hell away from Sabertooth, shifted to defense.
1 stone into Close Combat, plus 3 from my Adamantium Claws, to protect myself from attacks while running away, all shifted to defense too.
Plus 1 from Reflexive Dodge, for a total of 7 in Defense.
Still using my animal senses at 7, to keep track of my surroundings and make sure I know where the attacks are coming from, and to hear the Punisher speaking while I'm trying to survive from Sabertooth.
End:
Health: 3/5
Energy: 0/15

Logan takes several quick steps back, putting enough distance between himself and Sabretooth that by the time the enraged mutant reaches him, he’s had enough time to ready a decent defense. His adamantium laced claws swat his rival’s away just as they’re about to hit an artery.
“Coward!” Sabretooth roared, growing even more furious “Why would you run Wolvie? You’ve always known that this was inevitable!” With a sudden burst of energy, Sabretooth surged forward and cut brutally at his opponent’s face, creating a superficial wound just above Logan’s eye, one that immediately began to heal over. (OOC: No damage)
Frank, meanwhile, had his hands full with two other mutants. He unloaded several rounds at each of them, but was forced to abandon the shot he’d lined up on Mystique in order to avoid taking a bullet to the chest. The two of them danced around for a moment, taking shots whenever they could, while the hopping man floundered in the air. Being airborne had made him an easy target for Castle, and the Punisher had dealt a devastating blow to his kneecap. Creep wasn’t likely to be bouncing much anymore…
“Toad, get his weapon!” the woman suddenly snapped, pausing just long enough for Frank to line up a shot and put a bullet solidly into her shoulder. That was the last shot he got, however, as the fallen man’s tongue suddenly lashed out from his mouth, traveling several feet before wrapping around the still smoking barrel of Castle’s rifle and ripping it from his grasp. The gun clattered against the wall on the opposite side of Mystique, and she placed a heavy boot on the handle, laughing all the while, seemingly unfazed by the round in her shoulder.
“Let’s see you make that shot now,” she mocked, apparently unaware that the Punisher still had a rifle strapped to his back, albeit a less powerful one.
