MISSION 4: OCTOPUS GARDEN In the center of the huge open room stands a gigantic robot, two stories tall. Its legs are blocked from view by three printing presses that stand a full story tall themselves! the robot is an immobile gleaming metal replica of Doctor Octopus, right down to his glasses! Doctor Octopus and his 30-foot-tall Octodroid robot are holed up in the abandoned Globe press building. Its only a matter of time before Doc Ock unleashes the robot to destroy the city. Only the heroes can stop him. Four villians are working for Doctor Octopus: Beetle, Fixer, Scorpion, and Radioactive Man. However, Scorpion, who attacked the heroes at the Krupp building appears to be absent from the warehouse. Captain America, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man and the Thing are the heroes who tracked down these villians and aim to stop them. However, thier presence has not gone un-noticed, silent alarms flash inside the warehouse and the super-villians are ready to defend thier territory. If you were at all disappointed with the low level of action, violence and pulse pounding suspence in Mission 3 of Day of the Octopus, then this is the Mission for you. Welcome to Day of the Octopus Mission 4: Octopus Garden! 'Nuff said! Captain America's Health: 3/4 Captain America's Energy: 9/9 Captain Marvel's Health: 2/3 Captain Marvel's Energy: 4/6 Spider-Man's Health: 4/4 Spider-Man's Energy: 12/12 Thing's Health: 6/6 Thing's Energy: 18/18

All As Spider-Man webs up the feet of the giant Octodroid, his Spidey Sense buzzes at him like crazy. Leaping with his well-known Acrobatic Agility, he just barely dodges from two of Doctor Octopuses' tenticals... but that's not all! There are three huge printing presses in the warehouse and they've all been converted into dangerouse machines! After evading Ock Ock's tenticals, Spider-Man has to leap out of the way of the presses as well. Thank goodness for Spider-Sense!
Captain America doesn't have any sense (well no Spider-Sense that is) to save him, but he does have a red, white and blue shield. It repels a heat ray from the Radioactive Man and keeps the tentacles at bay... for now.
The fixer pulls his Energy Blaster and fires at Captain Marvel to get a shot in before she can transform into living light. However, the Thing put's a stop to the Fixer's sinister plan by pounding the ground with his monsterous strength. The shot goes wide, missing Captain Marvel and giving her the time necessary to transform into energy before the printing presses' tentacles can get to her.
Unfortunately, the Things pounding on the ground has no affect on the Beetle flying in the air. The Beetle chucks a large chunk of debree at the Thing using all the might of his transistor powered armor. The concrete smashes into the Thing and actually hurts him. Not much, but definately enough to piss him off.
The shockwave has kept the tentacles reaching out for Ben Grimm at a safe distance, but they still stand between him and the Beetle as the only line of defense the villian has from being squashed like a bug by the strongest member of the Fantastic Four.
"SPIDER-MAN!" Doctor Octopus shouts. "When last we met you bragged that you'll always find a way to beat me. [PPTSSM #79] Today, you'll find out the truth web-spinner! It's you who will never win! NEVER!"
"Didn't I already kill you?" Radioactive Man spits at Captain America.
"Ha ha! The Thing falls by the might of the Beetle!" brags Jenkins.
"What the!?!" Fixer exclaims as the shockwave knocks him over on his tuchis.
The Octodroid makes no movement at all.

*Ben now pissed off, proceeds to pick up the debris that the flying roach threw at him, and with all his might throws it back at him.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Action 1: 9 Stones to Strength to hit Beetle with the chunk of debris Action 2: 3 Stones to Dodge any future objects being hurled Sorry pogmothoin, the Thing would use Ranged Combat for thowing a rock, and Dodge isn't an Action, so please pick another Action and then shift the stones to Defense. Also, the chunk of debris broke up after striking the Thing, so the largest remaining chunk will only give a +1 modifier if used as a thrown weapon. (Note you will get another +2 now from Captain America's Leadership though.) I do want to thank you for continuing with the game through the conversion to the newer Marvel Universe rules. I'll continue to help everyone as this battle continues. (And you can all help me too, as I'm not exactly a MURPG expert myself.)

Thing: Sorry, for Ranged Combat you can only spend a max of 4 stones of Energy because the Ranged Combat rating is a 4 on your CAD. So you'd spend 4 to Ranged Combat + 1 for Weapon + 2 for Capatin America's Leadership = 7 total stones in an attack against the Beetle. You can use Close Combat for Defense though, which you can spend up to 14 stones on. So knowing thing only spends 4 on Ranged Combat, do you want to spend more on close Combat and shift it to Defense?
Spider-Man: Spidey-Sense again! There are 11 stones attacking spidey from one direction and 5 from the other. Care to re-allocate from Ranged Combat and/or Technology to Defense?

Spider-Man "Now put a sock in it!” Spidey shouts firing a web at Doctor Octopus. However it's batted away by one of the villian's mechanical appendages, as the other three lunge towards Spider-Man. The hero dodges the first two limbs, but was paying a bit too much attention to the vibranium-steel alloy robot to duck from the third tenticle.
WHAP! Spidey suffers 1 Heath in damage and the nearest printing press is still trying to grab him too!
"Ha ha ha! I have you now wall-crawler!" Doctor Octopus taunts.
Spider-Man's Health: 3/4 Spider-Man's Energy: 7/9
Captain America "We need to get this over with fast..." Captain America says, encouraging the Thing while he defends himself from the many mechanical arms of the printing presses.
"Scum?!?" Radioactive Man says insulted by Captain America's insult. "I'll tear you apart with my own two hands for that dishonor." The green man states with his Chinese accent.
An emerald glow surrounds Dr. Chen Lu as he approaches the Avenger. The tentacles part allowing him to pass. Then in an unexpected move requiring gamma powered strength, Radioactive Man grabs onto Captain America's shield!
Steve Rogers still has hold of the buckler's handle, but even with the super soldier serum he's likely to lose a tug of war with this nuclear brute!
Captain America's Health: 3/4 Captain America's Energy: 9/9 [May not use Shield while Radioactive Man is holding onto the sides.]
Thing "Thing, keep hitting that flying menace," Ben hears the Avenger say. Spotting the Beetle flying towards something across the room, the Thing picks up a chunk of debris that recently cracked against his head and hurls it at the flying bug.
TINK! The missle dents the armor of the Beetle just before he reaches his destination.
"Curse you! I'll make you pay for that!" Abner Jenkins picks up a jazzy looking rifle and aims it at the Thing.
"HA HA HA HA HA!" The Beetle laughs meniachally as he fires a yellow ray of energy toward our favorite orange hero.
Wrestling with the printing presses tentacles, Ben Grim manages to throw one in the way of the Beetle's bizarre blaster, saving himself. But how long can even the Thing keep this up?
Thing's Health: 5/6 Thing's Energy: 5/15
Captain Marvel Captain Marvel shoots an Energy Beam Attack at the Fixer while he's helpless on the ground.
"Cheap shot hero," the Fixer calls foul after being zapped by the lady Avenger.
"Try hitting a moving target now," he challenges next, getting up and running towards the back of the building. To cover his retreat, the Fixer shoots wildly behind him. He hits nothing of importance and the presses' tenacles let him pass.
Captain Marvel's Health: 2/3 Captain Marvel's Energy: 2/6 [Set to convert out of Energy Form during the next panel.]
