Issue 21: Savage Times

[kurff]

"Don't people collect stamps, comics or action figures like they did back in the day?" blink commented with a shrug. Clearly she was spending too much time around spiderman. She for a moment remembered Morph and his collection of Comics and Dolls..er action figures from some back water reality.

DD tries to finish releasing the Xmen, and when he hears buzzing he says, "bees, it sounds like alot of bees."

He then keeps working to free the XMen, pulling and tugging at whatever bonds are left holding them.

When the Communicard goes off he takes a moment and responds, "working on freeing the unconscious xmen right now, I'll have to take a rain check on whatever is going on. GhostSabre, can you leave Sauron to Wolverine and help me with the Xmen," he asks at the end.

[sasqaricious]

Aura here's the call and prepares herself right away by copying the battery she carries in preparation for attack but not sure exactly what is to be done and as such she waits for Songbird to take the lead and mimic what the others do for attacks. "I am ready for it." She states still in her airborne state.

strike 1d20+2

Hearing the communicard call energized Tabitha a bit. " Come on Wolvie, finish this buzzard, the others need our help." She shouted as she swung for Sauron's head with a round house. She heard Daredevil as well, but hoped he could handle the rescue himself.

[foxx]

Terminus; that name was enough to give the green amazon pause. She remember clearly their first battle with Mr. Fantastic and Wyatt Wingfoot. The first time did not go so well but Reed made up for that with hitting Terminus with the planet.

"Oh what the hell. Really? Terminus?" She-Hulk said. "You suddenly think you can control freakin' Terminus? You have no clue what you are dealing with here, Baron. Bug boy up there isn't going to control that thing; your going to wake up a sleeping giant that is going to try to destory Earth."

One did not need to guess that She-Hulk was angry, very, very, angry.

1d20+10 Parry vs. Sauron's attempted life drain. Edit: Overlooked that detail.
"Brainchild ain't here, you'll do Sauron," growls Logan, claws out, slashing for his wrists. (Given his Adamantium slices through almost anything, and Sauron's habit of using his hands...)
1d20+7 Strike
3d6+10 Claws

1d20+5 (Parry)

Sauron, with considerable effort, is able to slap away Wolverine's claws at the wrist while Tabitha's strike goes wide. "Ah, the other morsel - I enjoyed your taste, child, I would have it again!" as he reaches out for Tabitha's leg.

1d20+2 (Sauron Strike on Tabitha)

Daredevil can sense that the battle with Sauron is not over as Tabitha re-engages, but he hears the bees fly by outside. He has the freed the rest of the X-Men - Storm, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Colossus, Rogue, Gambit and Nightcrawler.

OUTSIDE

Swarm and his external bees fly past the group and enter the opened faceplate of Terminus' armor.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Masters of Evil reach the bottom of the cliff to face the Avengers. Goliath cracks his knuckles as he expands to his full 60 foot height and strides towards Atlas, She-Hulk, and Spider-Man. The Beetle flies around him as back-up.

Joystick spins her energy batons like a cheerleader as she pinwheels towards the group. "So many pretty ones - I'm gonna go for the speedster first."

Moonstone circles around Aura. "Pretty young for this line of work - and very scared. You know, you could run. No one would blame you." She smiles.

The robotic Techno advances on Blink. "Interesting energy signature you got - I'm going to take a guess you're not from around here, are you? Perhaps you should consider what side you're on - and join the winning team."

Zemo draws his blade as he and Mimi approach Songbird. "You are outnumbered, isolated and outpowered. I would advise...submission." There is a sneer behind the purple mask.

Songbird's expression does not change. "Avengers don't surrender."

The Terminus armor stirs to life, and stands its full 150 feet high, so that all can see it. They see SWARM animating the impressive armor.

Atlas looks to Spider-Man. "You handled this guy before, right?" He gestures to Atlas. "You do it again, got me?"

Atlas at 20 feet leaps towards Terminus.
He hits 60 feet as he lands at Terminus feet - his maximum known height.
His body glows red as he grows to 100 feet tall.

The voice of Swarm is a high pitched buzz.

"Fool! I have ultimate power! You will be crusshed beneath me!"

Atlas's reply is a low boom; a rumble even Wolverine and DD can hear in the cave.

"NOT TODAY YOU RATZI SCUM! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE"

[yendor]

"Think we're needed outside," giving a hard, punt worthy kick to Sauron's jaw to send him off.

"how perceptive. I'm from Canada...Can't you tell by the accent, eh?" Blink drew a trio of javelin in her right hand and three smaller blades in her left, "All I see is a big paperweight with a bad Galactus impersonation and a Sentinel wanna be... Herbie might feel scared you though. Techno, are you a robot?" she grinned. She hoped this Tony Stark knew his stuff as she threw the smaller crystal knives then used her right if he closed in to range.

Once in range will dodge and put in spot she can tangle him up long enough to determine

[sasqaricious]

Aura hears what the one lady says and responds in kind, "Pretty old to be doing this, I mean You have to be ancient." She says throwing the best insult she has back even though it is probably not even worded correctly. Then out of instinct she charges fists energized at top speed

Strike - 1d20+6
Damage - 1d6 + electrical damage if allowed 3d6 + 8 (Speed as that would probably top)

[dakota]

Tabitha used her forearm to try to bat away Sauron's lunge at her 1d20+4

"Logan, Daredevil, go! I got this." Tabitha replied, using the shift of of her weight used to avoid Sauron to build momentum to throw a roundhouse she meant to take Sauron's head off (power punch)

[foxx]

She-Hulk watches Atlas storm off after Terminus, "He's got guts, but that doesn't mean He can hold out for long going past his limits and taking on Terminus."

"All right, Spiedy, lets go lay Goliath out and go help Atlas." She said before leaping towards the huge man that thundered towards them. She tries using her great strength to take him out with one shot. A highly probable task considering his size and strength. Seeing as her cousin could do it, why not herself.

Strike: 1d20+3

Damage: 2d4 x 10 + 64 = 124

[doc]

Sauron manages to parry Logan's strike, but it sets him up to take the hit from Tabitha as he gets back to his feet. He roars. "FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE! SAURON IS MASTER OF THE SAVAGE LAND!" (Tabitha, save vs. psi)

Daredevil helps the X-Men outside as they begin to recover. Beast is the first to speak. "Oh my stars and garters, saved by the devil we are." He chuckles.

"No time for jokes Beast - I don't like the looks of things here." Cyclops interjects, before looking at Daredevil. "You're a little far from the Kitchen, aren't you?"

Wolverine can see the rest of the X-Men even as he hears the struggle between Sauron and Tabitha.

1d20+1

Golaith is struck back by She-Hulk as Beetle divebombs at her from behind.

1d20+2 (Strike)
2d6+87 (Damage if it hits)

1d20+3

The small blades embed in Techno's chest. "I'm not a sentinel - I'm a the most advanced and intelligent creature on this planet, and you're just a genetic quirk of fate with some fancy moves - what do you think you got?"

(What are the effects here? Need to know)

1d20+7


Moonstone parries the punch, though the electricity singes her. "Impressive. My turn." She swings a backhand at your face.

1d20+5 (Strike)
1d6+25 (Damage if it hits)

Quicksilver and Joystick are enjoying a rapidfire exchange of missed strikes as they weave in and out of the jungle.

Screaming Mimi attempts strike Songbird with a sonic blast, but a pink force bubble blocks her as Baron Zemo watches the battles unfold.

[yendor]

1d20+7 Strike
2d6+12 Body block damage

Hearing the X-Men and Tabitha still fighting with Sauron, Logan turns his attention to the more present threat and situation, launching himself into a flying tackle at Sauron, trying to knock him away from her.

[Dome]

DD shrugs, "You complainin? I missed all the fighting dragging you all out while everyone else had all the fun and you just wanna know why I'm here? I put my thumb up to hitch and chose my ride poorly. Not many people stopping to pick up a devil off a New York city rooftop. By the way, your welcome," DD says annoyed.

With the Xmen safe, he hears the battle still going on, he says, "if you'll excuse me." and runs back in to join Tabby.

As soon as he enters he pauses only briefly to locate Sauron and throws one nightstick at Sauron's head.
