Issue 11: New York State of Mind (Spider-Man)

[doc]

As though by Command, Captain America is propelled like a missile through the air to knock Goliath off his feet. The giant smashes up the front side of the adjacent warehouse on the opposite side of the street as he staggers.

Emerging from the studio you see Simon Williams, still wearing his Arkon garb, his eyes aglow. "I don't know who you are Mister, but you just ruined my first paying gig in months!"

Captain America is still in the air and seems to be falling towards the street.

Goliath simply sneers at Wonder Man. "GOOD! NOW YOU'LL SUFFER LIKE ME!" like a child with a tantrum, he kicks a city bus sending it onto it's side and tumbling towards you and Wonder Man as you hear the screams of the passengers.

[HSummers]

Spider-Man quickly begins spinning a large net from spanning the buildings to his left and right in the hopes that it will catch the bus and keep the passengers safe. Once the bus comes to a stop, Spider-Man yells "Wonder Man! Get the big guy! I'll get these folks to safety!" Spider-Man leaps on top of the bus, tears off the door/window, leans his head in and says "Alright kids, ride's over! This way please!"

Spider-Man evacuates the civilians from the bus as Wonder Man and Goliath continue their duel. You can no longer see Captain America.

[HSummers]

Spider-Man, after helping the last passenger off of the bus, goes to check where he thinks Captain America may have landed to make sure he's alright.

If he is, he'll say "How do you want to play this one, coach?"

If he's not, he'll attempt to assess any injuries that Cap might have sustained (First Aid: [dice=100]/Out of 57%)[rand=7518415321911696856887134407179687747967462573036892398423097371]

Spider-Man makes it to the rooftop, only to see Cap in a fight with this figure



Whom is weilding a wicked fencing sabre. You are familiar with the dreaded hood of Baron Zemo - a line of villains tracing back to WWII and an archenemy of Captain America!

"Help Wonder Man." Cap calmly orders. You are about to protest when suddenly you hear a loud crack as Goliath kicks Simon for a field goal into the distance. From the force of the kick, he might have punted Wonder Man to Long Island!

[HSummers]

"On it Cap!" Spider-Man leaps from the roof and webswings (Ectoplasmic Line - Strike: [dice=20+12][dice=20+12][dice=20+12][dice=20+12]) until he reaches Goliath. He swing kicks into his knee (Strike: [dice=20+10] Damage: [dice=4][dice=4+30]) and then flips (Backflip: [dice=100] out of 98%) up from the contact, throws another webline(Ectoplasmic Line - Strike: [dice=20+12]) at Goliath's shoulder and swing kicks (Strike: [dice=20+10] Damage: [dice=4][dice=4+30]) into his jaw.[rand=31008175846641277977835472637469392251285189227036454912115166676]

Goliath flinches at each strike, but isn't too hurt yet. "I'm getting tired of all these bug bites from you, insect! Time for a swating!" as he tries to slap you away.

[HSummers]

"Wow. You should really leave the jokes to the professionals." Spider-Man jukes out of the way of the swat (Auto-Dodge: [dice=20+16]) and uppercuts (Strike: [dice=20+10] Damage: [dice=4+30]) his jaw, kicks him in the jaw (Strike: [dice=20+10] Damage: [dice=4][dice=4+30]) and using his jaw as a springboard, leaps away and up (Backflip: [dice=100] out of 98%), throwing a webline from each wrist (Ectoplasmic Line Strike: Left: [dice=20+12]/Right:Left: [dice=20+12])and then pulling himself back into his jaw with extreme momentum and both feet extended (Strike: [dice=20+10] Damage: [dice=4][dice=4+30]). "And you are NOT a professional."[rand=5109145153352033450366865110377272632109800875430737035275998879535]

Goliath takes the hits but only grows angrier. "YOU LITTLE TWERP!" as he chucks an empty car at you.

[dice=20] (strike)[rand=62599194305523053558653313657430518863238329405172057944677266202]

[HSummers]

Spider-Man barely puts any work into avoiding the car that Goliath throws at him (Autododge: [dice=20+16]). "You really need to work on your aim, big guy. Here. Let me show you." Spider-Man throws a large web to cover Goliath's face (Ectoplasmic Web - Strike: [dice=20+12]).[rand=721771351319802131962604388043678650847937692038765508770336079]

Goliath wildly thrashes as he pulls at the webbing blinding him. His haphazard strikes take off the front of a building, causing rocks to tumble towards the street and the fleeing civilians below.

[HSummers]

Spider-Man creates a web to catch any falling debris (Ectoplasmic Web Net: Strike: [dice=20+12]). Once he's certain that web is strong enough to hold all of the rocks, he starts webbing up Goliath's feet (Sticky Glob: Strike: [dice=20+10] and Ectoplasmic Web Net: Strike: [dice=20+12]).[rand=9726027229718048922910699639230462218691286891186358290440795245]

your webbing seems to be holding the giant at bay, when you hear Zemo's voice from the rooftops.

"Ah, I see you have acquitted yourself well, Webslinger. Now, let us see if you are truly worthy of your reputation. I have placed three bombs in place - one at the building where I fought the Captain, another at this studio, and a third at the bus station at the end of the block. You have 5 minutes for you and the Captain to disarm them all. Or you could try to capture us both, but that would likely result in the loss of innocent lives." His laughs out in a mocking tone. "Oh, what is a hero to do?"

[HSummers]

"You are such a ham, purple guy!" Spider-Man instantly takes off for the inside of the building, hoping that his Spidey Sense will alert him to the location of the danger. Once he reaches it, he'll disarm it if its a simple button. Otherwise, he'll wrap it in web and bring it with him.

Spider-Man, you find the bomb - a collection of wires and plastic with a timer reading 3:00 and counting down.
