Spectrum's Comments: The Freedom Squad and the LA Knights team up once again as the Great Super Villain contest begins to wind down. Each group is returning for their own titles back into the New Crusaders title and they are not outside a strange blue dome...
New Crusaders #5
Featuring the Freedom Squad and the LA Knights.
At the headquarters of the Freedom Squad the team greets it's newest member, Night.
"Welcome to the team", American Eagle says. "We can sure use all the help we can get." Eagle then proceeds to introduce the rest of the team: Victrix, Jo-Tan, Sapphire, Professor Power, Wolf, Savij and Dynamo.
"I agree, Sapphire. We should investigate this."
Those capable of flying under their own power take off with the rest of the team following in the Squad's shuttle.
Meanwhile, out in the Los Angeles hills, the LA Knights have just defeated Serena's forces.
Serena shouts to not to attack. She moves to meet Reaper.
"Hold, dark one! There are forces more powerful then death. You are just a man, and men are mere playthings to me. Do not forget that!"
Reaper starts to move away.
"Very well, Areion. I accept your offer. Let us get what is mine by right!"
As the Knights begin to plan their attack, the Freedom Squad arrives!
Both teams have new members since the last time they met.
"Areion!", American Eagle shouts. "What is going on here? What is that dome?"
GM Notes:
So the teams meet again! I case you missed them, you might want to check the later responses of the previous posts in case you're not sure what is happening here.
Hero roster for both teams:
Freedom Squad - American Eagle (NPC), Dynamo, Jo-Tan (NPC), Night, Professor Power, Sapphire, Savij, Victrix, Wolf.
LA Knights - Areion, Emerald Knight, Scarlet Sabre, Shadow, Short Circuit, Starlight, Warlock, Wraithe.
Plus Reaper is still near the scene!
Also, Short Circuit, I made an error in our E-Mail conversation. A standard EB does have range, however the way you described it, you have to touch the enemy to fire it off. Sorry! :(
SUBJ: Short Circuit FROM: Kid ego 07/23/90 S#: 410222
::looking at the new arrivals::(To any females in the Freedom Force) "Hi they call me Short Circuit shall we conduct a little energy?"
SUBJ: Dynamo! (R) FROM: Azhanti 07/24/90 S#: 55750
(Dynamo listens to Aerion describe the situation.)
"All right, let's go in there and bust them up! You guys hit'em high an' I'll hit'em low! We should be able to take all those punks. CHARGE!!!!!!!"
SUBJ: Professor Power FROM: Nain 07/24/90 S#: 832472
"Well, the situation seems pretty simple. But some of us should look for the missing heroes while the rest keep the villains busy. If they are freed, they might be able to help us, and they can't be used as hostages."
SUBJ: wolf FROM: Wild dan 07/24/90 S#: 25469

SUBJ: Shadow FROM: WILD CATS 07/25/90 S#: 829316
"Hey, I thought you guys were fighting Grond?" Addressing the Freedom Squad. Shadow will then wait to see what Areion wants us to do and try to carry out his orders. "More heroes arrive every minute," Shadow murmurs under his breathe.
SUBJ: Savij FROM: Psycho Tim 07/25/90 S#: 56275
"Savij help...like blue lady!" utters Savij as he uncontrollably walks around on all fours around the group. "Savij not know what we fight for...but Savij wants to...RUMBLE!" says Savij as he licks his claws.
SUBJ: Sapphire
Sapphire is somewhat puzzled by Short Circuits query.
'Conduct energy? Is this a human practice that I'm not familiar with?'
For those who are new, Sapphire is large, 6'5", woman and powerfully built. Muscles ripple through out her form. She wears no costume other than black spandex outfits. Her skin is sky blue and her long hair is a deep blue.
'Well met, Knights! I see that you too have added new members. Pray tell, Areion, what is transpiring here? What is the purpose of that dome?'
SUBJ: Scarlet Sabre
Scarlet shakes her head at Short Circuits remark and Sapphire reply.
'Forget about it, Saphy. You don't want to know.' ;)
Sabre will introduce herself to the newcomers that she hasn't met before while Areion and American Eagle decide our course of action.
SUBJ: Emerald Knight FROM: Long Bo 07/26/90 S#: 459166
"Well met again. It seems that our paths have crossed again. The larger numbers of our 2 groups should help in battle, but I am afraid it's going to hurt our stealth."
SUBJ: WARLOCK FROM: DMG 07/27/90 S#: 439105
Seeing how many people are hear Warlock will shake his head and mutter about there being to many people here as he sits down and waits for the 2 leaders to decide when to go to the dome.
SUBJ: Night FROM: Wildchilde 07/27/90 S#: 447207
Nervously fidgets with one of his blades. "Lets get on with this, I'm for kicking a little butt!"
SUBJ: Short Circuit FROM: Kid ego 07/28/90 S#: 848662
::slapping himself in the head::
"I did it again didn't I?"
"I say lets get to this dome and rescue the heroes."
SUBJ: -- AREION -- FROM: AREION 07/28/90 S#: 470054
After explaining the situation to The Freedom Squad, Areion draws American Eagle to the side away from the others.
He cast's a wary glance at Serena before turning back to speak with Eagle.
"Serena is not to be trusted...she will aid us, but only insofar as it serves her own ends."
"I've made a pact with her. When the heroes are freed and we've captured the Eye she and I will do battle for it. Should I fail...should she defeat me... she is far too evil to be allowed to have it."
"My word is my bond, but YOU are not bound MY oath...and in truth, I wouldn't be in any condition to break it should she win. DESTROY that Eye.. AT ANY COST!"
Once Eagle and I are finished, I'll try to get my team and our new friends (namely Short Circuit and Wraith) ready for the battle ahead.
"Traveling invisible might be a good idea, just be sure to stay out of the crossfire."
Spectrum's Comments: As some of you might have guessed, the Serena/Areion dynamic was inverted in the Crucible game. Serena became the noble hero while Areion was the diabolical villain. He was the Unnamed Demon in the posts. However, there is more to their relationship in the Q-verse then in the Crucible game.
Prologue:
Within the command center of the great dome, the being known as he Crimson Claw was learned of a large group of heroes virtually on his front door.
"Ssssooo, they want to play". A clawed hand reached forward activating the intercom. "Attention playersss. A large group of heroesss are right outside. Thisss isss an excccellant opportunity to improve ssscoresss."
None of the assembled villains needed to hear the message twice. They made a beeline to the exit, eager to smash the heroes into a pulp.
However, not everyone was rushing into battle. Observing the goings on were the infamous Dr. Destroyer and his aid Menton.
"Come, Menton, the opportunity to end this foolishness has presented itself. If the Emerald Eye is the key to power infinite, then it shall be mine."
While Destroyer and Menton moved deeper into the base, they in turn were being watched. The master villain of Canada, Borealis silently follows....
New Crusaders #6 - Featuring the LA Knights and the Freedom Squad
Unaware of the goings on inside the dome, American Eagle and Areion confer on the matter.
"I understand, Areion. If it should come down to that, then I will do what I must."
An opening appears in the dome and many villains come rushing/flying out.
The Corruptor's of All lead the way. This is a four-villain team consisting of Cryotron, Gaussian, Sergeant Supreme and Bruiser.
Following them is Beamline, Earthmaster, Esper, Firewing, Thunder and Lightning, Power Crusher, Rainbow Archer, Ripper, Annihilator, Brother Basilisk, The Dash, Microwave, Shadow Queen, Chaos, Howler and the Void.
Victrix becomes pale at the sight of them.
'Oy vey...'

Spectrum's Comments: This fight was among the largest that I ran on Q. There's something like 43 characters involved in it! I had to set up a card table with my battlesite map on it leave it up for over a month!
SUBJ: Shadow (R) FROM: WILD CATS 07/29/90 S#: 472933
Seeing the mass of villains in one area, Shadow will first dematerialize, then, changing positions frequently, will attack with Lightning several times. If the opportunity presents itself, I will close on one of the villains, get physical contact and take over his/her mind. The first thing I will do if this happens, is to knock the person out quickly, then order it to stay unconscious until I'm dead or order him/her to awake.
SUBJ: -- AREION -- (R) FROM: AREION 07/29/90 S#: 451445
"Heads up people! I recognize a number of these villains. We're out powered, so we'll have to fight as a team. Switch opponents at random, double team stronger opponents...don't give them time to adjust."
"Serena, Firewing would seem to be the mightiest among them. Perhaps the two of us can put together a display of power to shake their morale a bit. Use a Gate spell to get us past the first wave and to Firewing."
While Serena prepares The Dark Orb, Areion casts his Mark of the Warrior spell (If Demon Steed hasn't returned, I'll give Serena my mantle since I presume Firewing is flying, in which case I'll shift 9 of the remaining 10pts to flight spell (6" Flight with gestures lim.))
When Serena transports us, I'll use my blunt attack on Firewing (MP:s3, Levels to OCV, and push for an added +10 STR). If Serena doesn't teleport us to within 3" of Firewing, I'll shift to full flight spell to reach him, then back to Mark of the Warrior for my attack.
If Serena and I should manage to stun or (by some minor miracle) subdue Firewing, I'll shift my Pool to Storm's Fury and partial Mark of the Warrior (+10 Pre) and call for the villains to surrender (Pre attack).
"Surrender villains, or face the full measure of our fury!!"
Both before and after the attack, I'll be ready to abort to a missile deflect if necessary.
SUBJ: wolf FROM: Wild dan 07/29/90 S#: 451522
someone GIVE ME A FASTBALL SPECALL AT RIPPER :THEN POLT TO WOLF FORM : ATT from fastball specal with claws all 4 sets and bitethen hanging on for dear life!!!!!!!!
SUBJ: Scarlet Sabre
'Alright! This is the kind of shindig that I can really show off my stuff!'
I'll energize my sabre and move to greet the incoming villains. I'll be prepared to reflect any ranged attacks, redirecting the attack towards a different villain. However is the handiest target at the time. Otherwise, I'll go hand to hand, using Martial Strike with my Sabre. I have no preference among the villains.
SUBJ: Sapphire
'If it's a battle, this dogs want, then it's a battle they shall have!'
Sapphire's warrior training shifts into high gear. Upon hearing comrade Wolf's request, she'll throw him at Ripper. Seeing Areion and the woman he called Serena attacking Firewing, I'll turn my attention to the other foe known to me.
'Power Crusher, we shall settle our dispute on this day. Prepare for battle varlet!'
Sapphire will fly into the air, attempting to do a move thru on the villain, otherwise engaging him in hand-to-hand combat.
SUBJ: Shortcircuit FROM: Kid ego 07/30/90 S#: 452947
::uses Telekinesis vs. Metal to ram Cryotron into the closest villain than run up and hit with my EB on Cryo::
SUBJ: Shadow FROM: WILD CATS 07/30/90 S#: 2170
Seeing Areion and Serena attack Firewing, Shadow will change plans. He will instead follow the two, still blasting everybody else invisibly, and support them by any means possible. The rest of his plan will remain the same.
SUBJ: Starlight FROM: Starlight3 07/30/90 S#: 3491
Starlight is trying the best he can at reading everyone's lips as the conversation develops as to what to do about the dome. He is startled and somewhat confused as everyone suddenly stops talking and looks behind him toward the dome. He then turns around and sees what they are all looking at. All at once he feels his heart drop into his stomach. He knows that Areion and the others may be depending on him in the obvious upcoming battle. He can't help and wonder, however, if his inexperience and handicap will get in the way and cause their defeat.
Seeing the others start off, Starlight will first turn on his force field, and then turn invisible. He will then fly into the pack of villains, heading straight for Howler. When he gets there, he will turn visible and flash (hopefully blinding all around him). He will then attack Howler, trying to goad her into attacking him. If she does, he will not try and avoid the blast (unless after the first one he finds they are too strong), but rather try and absorb the sound. He will then use this energy and blast at other villains around him (the ones that can still see first). He will continue to alternate this Howler/other villains attack until he drops or someone is free to come help him.
SUBJ: Night FROM: Wildchilde 07/30/90 S#: 457553
Night will take to the air with his glider and throw 2 daggers at Rainbow archer. Then will pick villains at random, usually ones engaged with others hoping to distract them.
SUBJ: WARLOCK (R) FROM: DMG 07/31/90 S#: 457716
As the Warlock sees the horde of villains charging he will grin and prepare for battle.
First he will use his Force Shield to form a sphere around him. Then he will use his Disrupter on the PSI villain thought the fight. Next he will set his Grav Gun at Max (would crush a normal person into a 1"1 foot cube of flesh) at any Brick. He will also teleport at random among the villains after every shot at any of the bricks trying to double team any of them (who already has an some fighting him/her)
SUBJ: Savij (R) FROM: Psycho Tim 07/31/90 S#: 12443
"SAVIJ KILLLLLLL!" yells the small beast as he slips into a berserker rage and runs at top speed into the bad guys and randomly attack anyone he is close to with my claws.
PS: Mad when I'm berserk, my strength and fighting increase but my intellect is at animal intelligence. Also I feel no damage till I come out of the rage. Just wanted to let you know :)
SUBJ: Emerald Knight FROM: Long Bo 07/31/90 S#: 486244
"Oh my!!! I need more firepower"
I let loose a biter at the enemy, no preference.
I then move towards the enemy firing my wrist lasers, if they work and kicking the nearest enemy. If the lasers don't work I'll use my kinetic stun gun.
If I don't seem to be having much success I'll unsling my rifle and fire bursts of 9mm explosive shells, last resort.
In any event I'll stay well away from Gaussian.
SUBJ: Wraithe FROM: Immortal 08/01/90 S#: 491468
Staying back from the combat, I will use mind control and mental illusions on the villains to get them attacking each other. If I notice any of them aiming at me, then I will not be there (teleporting 1/2 distance). I will save a phase for the teleportation
I will also turn on my shields.
SUBJ: Dynamo (R) FROM: Azhanti 08/01/90 S#: 425704
"ALL RIGHT! JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS!"
Dynamo charges into the thick of it dodging and levels to DCV using acrobatics to move quickly towards the Annihilator (who could pass up a punch at a guy with that name). Once there he will put 1 level to OCV, 2 to damage and do a hook while pushing str(+10), trying to one punch him. If he is still up, I will settle into a series of jab-cross-jab punches (+1ocv, +2dcv). If he goes down, I'll find a brick to play with (+1OCV,+2Damage).
"Now this is MY kinda' fight!"
SUBJ: Professor Power FROM: Nain 08/01/90 S#: 492236
"Yes it is just like the old days."
With that I'll fly forward and grab Bruiser and throw him into Sergeant Supreme. Then I'll go forward and try to grab Bruiser again and use him as a club against the others. If not I'll pummel the sergeant until he is out then go to someone else
New Crusaders #7 - Featuring the Freedom Squad and the LA Knights.
In the hills outside of Los Angeles, a major confrontation between good and evil is taking place...
The being known as Firewing, hovers behind the mass of attacking villains, searching for an opponent worthy of his powers.
Rainbow Archer nocks an arrow and fires it at the heroes. The shaft is easily avoided, but energy explodes out of the shaft. Shadow, Warlock, and Night take minor damage, while Professor Power is unharmed.
The heroes move to greet the approaching villains.
Night, using his glider, takes to the air and fires a pair of knives at Rainbow Archer but misses.
Behind the heroes, Serena and Areion prepare for a sneak attack. Serena, atop her demon stead, summons the Dark Orb seemingly out of nowhere. Serena mumbles in some unknown language.
While Serena is preparing the Gate, Areion is struck by a peculiar feeling from the orb. He just can't place it though.
Serena finishes weaving her spell and the two vanish.
Sapphire gives her Freedom Squad partner a hand, tossing Wolf towards the monstrous Ripper.
Wolf collides with Ripper and starts to claw and bite. Ripper only smiles at Wolf's efforts.
After throwing Wolf, Sapphire takes to the air, flying towards Power Crusher. As she travels, Gaussian fires a magnetic blast at her, but misses. Beamline fares better, knocking Sapphire back across the sky.
Almost unnoticed in the background, the Wraithe concentrates, bringing his powers into play.
Warlock activates his teleportation belt and pops across the battlefield. He fires his gun at Esper, but misses.
Seeing Beamline blast Sapphire, Savij leaps into the air, screaming for blood. Savij collides with Beamline in mid-air, ripping into him with his claws.
"Get this thing off of me!!", he screams.
Professor Power flies into the conflict and is spotted by Cryotron. Cryotron fires a blast of ice at Power, stopping him in mid-flight, but doing little real damage.
American Eagle buzzes Cryotron, but only succeeds in distracting him for a moment.
Esper returns the favor to Warlock, hitting him with an mind bolt. Void, having noted Warlock's gun, moves closer.
"Say, that's a neat gun you got there. Let me take a look at that!"
Unexpectedly, a ghostly white hand appears out of Void's otherwise black body suit. The hand shoots forward and grasps Warlocks Grav Gun. The next thing Warlock knows is that his gun is in Void's hands.
The Scarlet Sabre, weapon ready, prepares for any incoming attacks. After teasing Sgt. Supreme about his crew cut, she gets what she wanted. Supreme fires a bolt of lighting at the heroine.
However, she is ready and her Sabre deflects the attack, sending the energy towards the Shadow Queen. Sque is hit by the lightning and bounced back about twenty feet.
Starlight suddenly appears among the villains and produces a blinding flash! Howler, Esper, Void, Bruiser and Earthmaster all go temporarily blind.
Victrix fires a blast of energy at Gaussian, striking the villainess. Jo-Tan moves to confront Chaos. Those who notice see Chaos' height continue to shift, seemingly at random. Suddenly he grows from 3' tall to 9' tall!
Seemingly out of nowhere, the duo of Thunder and Lightning appear among the heroes. Thunder attempts to punch Dynamo, but he ducks and uses her own momentum to throw her to the ground.
In the rear of the battlefield, Serena and Areion appear behind Firewing. Without hesitation, Serena swings her sword into Firewing's back.
Incredibly Firewing is hurt and falls from the sky!
Seizing the opportunity, Areion works his magic and makes a presence attack against all the villains.
The results vary. Some seeing Firewing humbled so easily. Shadow Queen, Microwave, the Dash, Brother Basilisk, Annihilator and Thunder and Lightning all head for greener pastures.
Almost all of the remaining villains pause for a moment.
Firewing suddenly rises to his feet and tags Serena with a powerful burst of fire. Serena is hurtled almost sixty feet across the sky before crashing to the ground. The demonhorse appears to have been disintegrated and Serena is stunned.
"Of all the indignities! To be felled by such a cowardly attack!!"
He glares at Areion.
Short Circuit using his own magnetism hurtles Cryotron into the Void. Neither appears greatly hurt by the collision.
Shadow fires a stroke of lightning at Power Crusher, but misses.
"Ha! You're gonna have ta do better den that, ya pantywaist!!"
Ominously, Ripper grabs Wolf in one of his huge hands and smiles.
"I'm gonna rip you apart!!"
He tosses Wolf into the air above him, winds up and hits him with a devastating punch, hurtling Wolf's, now unconscious, form into the sky!!

2 - Average, usually deficient in some areas, but often dangerous in others.
3 - Very Capable, a strong opponent, not to be underestimated.

SUBJ: Short Circuit FROM: Kid ego 08/05/90 S#: 837679
::begins running to the closest villain when close enough I do my Energy Touch::
SUBJ: -- AREION -- FROM: AREION 08/05/90 S#: 509976
"SERENA!! If you've harmed her you flame-spewing demon!..."
Soaring towards the ground, Areion lands about six yards (3") from where Firewing is standing.
"Honor!?! I regret that such distasteful tactics are sometimes necessary, but where is honor served when the giant crushes the dwarf under foot?!? It's easy to spout about fair play and clean fighting when your power grossly outmatches that of your opponent!"
"Come then, Mighty Firewing, let us face one another man to man! No powers! No weapons! Just you, I, and all the strength and skill we can muster."
At the words 'no weapons' Areion thrusts his sword into the ground by his side and activates his Mark of the Warrior (as he doesn't see this as a breach of the terms he's set, but merely the unleashing of his full warrior's abilities.)
If Firewing seems to be complying, (drops his forcefield, ect.) Areion will instant change out of the top half of his armor & start circling and moving in slowly in a crouched stance.
1. If Firewing should charge out right, I'll put my HTH level to DCV and acrobatic dodge using multiple back flips until I get an opening. Then I'll fall back on my hands and spring back up, delivering a solid kick to the underside of Firewing's chin with the heel of my foot. (And hopefully land back on my feet. Level to OCV)
2. Should Firewing take a more cautious approach, I'll continue to move in slowly until I just within arm's reach. Then I'll spring over his head, performing an acrobatic flip and striking him in the back of the head as I come around (Level to OCV)
If I should notice Serena getting back up, I'll try to convince her to help the others and stay out of our conflict. (Even to the point of warning Firewing to 'LOOK OUT!', in which case I'll use my Mage Force to try to catch and fling her away, for her own safety.)
If Firewing doesn't go for it, and attacks with a fire-burst, I'll acrobatic dodge with a side flip over my sword, (use flight to aid in this, Level to DCV) rearming myself in the process and be ready for multiple missile deflects.
GM Notes:
Firewing contemplates Areion's proposal for a moment.
"Your offer interests me, human. Very well, let us put aside our natural powers and fight as men. But I warn you, the slightest bit of trickery on your part and shall feel my full fiery fury!"
The fire surround Firewing fades as moves towards Areion...
Scarlet Sabre
So far, so good. We're holding our own here. I don't think that trick will work again on Sarge, so I'll fire a energy burst from my sabre at Gaussian. I'll save my half-action to missile reflect her return attack towards either void or Cryotron.
'Hey you! The bimbo with the beany on! Incoming!'
Mail From: Immortal Date: Sunday 5-Aug-90 20:02 EDT
Have her shoot at one of the villains that is standing in front of her, who is also "in line" with us, so it might look like an accident. The villain should be one who looks like he could be injured (from Wraith's perspective) could you have mental defense points that would cost end to use only when someone mentally attacks?
Armor piercing mental attacks? How about it?
Mail From: Immortal Date: Sunday 5-Aug-90 20:16 EDT
After taking care of my mind control victim, I will watch to see if Shadow catches Wolf. If he does not, I will put all of my power pool except the force field into Telekinesis, and try to catch Wolf. (I will try to work out the points and limitations and get back.... at least, activation 15, and a time delay if it looks like Wolf is falling slowly enough.
Mail From: Immortal Date: Sunday 5-Aug-90 20:30 EDT

Spectrum's Comments: A series of E-mails to Wraithe. No copies of my portion exists.
SUBJ: Shadow FROM: WILD CATS 08/05/90 S#: 510969
"Uhhhh " groans Shadow as Rainbow Archer hits home. "RAINBOW ARCHER, YOU ARE GONNA GET HURT!!" Two things you haven't noticed about Shadow are apparent now. His Quicksilver eyes glare make anybody who looks in them cringe. Also, you notice a 2-inch thick line of hair, going straight down the middle, is Silver. Shadow will then turn into his HUGE black dragon form and zoom into the sky, trying to catch Wolf. After I catch him, without hurting him, with my claws, I will set him down near Wraithe, and then zoom into the sky again. I will then make a huge wall of fire around Power Crusher and anybody real close to him that is a villain, so they can't escape. Then I'll roast the villains inside the wall of fire with fire.
"IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YA POWER CRUSHER!!!!" screams Shadow as he creates the wall, then attacks.
SUBJ: Sapphire
Sapphire is enraged at the cowardly villains. She has yet to engage the enemy, but has already been wounded!
'Villianous dogs! When I get my hands on you...!'
Sapphire then notices Wolf being smacked into the air. She flies to rescue him, but sees Shadow doing the same. Since Shadow is much closer, Sapphire will concentrate of the one called Ripper instead. His display of power is most impressive. This shall be a great contest.
Sapphire will become airborne and fly straight towards Ripper, doing a pushed move thru on him.
After that I'll go hand to hand, delivering haymakers.
SUBJ: Savij (R) FROM: Psycho Tim 08/06/90 S#: 13451
"ROARRRRRRRRR" is all Savij can utter as he collides with Beamline. After the collision, Savij will then start to run towards howler at top speed, on the way he will lash out at Gaussian as he passes her, but will attack howler with full fury.
SUBJ: Starlight FROM: Starlight3 08/06/90 S#: 421607
Starlight will try and place himself between Void and Gaussian. He will then fire a laser at Void, and then be prepared to move if Void decides to retaliate.
SUBJ: WARLOCK (R) FROM: DMG 08/07/90 S#: 396099
After being hit 2x Warlock is pissed. He will use his ESP to read Rainbow's surface thoughts so he can know what she will do it a second before she does. (Like to know where and when she will shoot etc.)
Then he will make his shield into a sphere in front of him and place it right in front of him. Using the ESP gadget to know what her actions are he will move it to where she shoots.
With all this having taken 1.5 seconds he will then teleport right next to her (on the East side) and blast her with the Grav Gun thinking he can't miss this time. Right after he shoots (A second later) he will teleport right away 93 feet
S.E. of his location behind several people (if possible).
---------
From now on when ever Warlock see's a slow moving attack coming his way (slow moving like an arrow or even a Brick) he will teleport 50 feet away in a lateral direction when it gets close (within 25 feet).[He will use his computer controlled senses for this job]
SUBJ: Night FROM: Wildchilde 08/07/90 S#: 831632
Night will drop low with his glider and attempt to lasso Rainbow archer with his lasso and pull her into the air.
SUBJ: Professor Power (R) FROM: Nain 08/08/90 S#: 54620
"Huh. Good shot. Now see if you can take one of mine."
With that he flies towards Crytron and tries to plat a punch on him, trying to position himself so if Cryotron gets KB'd, he'll slam into another villain.
"Come on, we can do this! Try to KO your foe before going to the next!!"
SUBJ: Dynamo FROM: Azhanti 08/08/90 S#: 523369
"Well, well, if it isn't Kaptain Kraut! Put 'em up fuzz head yer about to get pulped!!!"
Dynamo flips and dodges towards Sergeant Supreme (ready to leap out of the way of area effect attacks) and full out punch (pushed +10str, hook with 2levels to damage, 1 to offense) him right in the face. He'll then follow up with jabs, putting all levels to defense. If he stuns him he'll follow up with a haymaker version of the first punch.

O.K. thanks for explaining it. So this is my turn Warlock will teleport closer to Beamline (who is already busy I think) and use his odds power to make Beam a poor shooter (that he has all of a sudden got the worse case of rash ever seen so he HAS to scratch and scratch) (or something like that) Then he will fire at him with the Grav gun set at Max. That's it! And thanks alot.
Spectrum's Comments: Another mail in response to one I sent about his post a little bit above. DMG probably wasn't familar with the Champs rules and his post reflected it, so I sent him a mail explaining things.
SUBJ: Wraithe FROM: Immortal 08/09/90 S#: 449647
If Wraithe is close enough to Warlock to figure out what he is planning to do,...
"NO, Warlock! She won't bother you again."
Of course, If Warlock doesn't listen, or if I could not figure out what he is going to do, Wraithe will be peeved!
You still see Wraithe standing at the back, concentrating on the enemy. You don't see him doing anything, just standing (looking ready to dive out of the way, of course)
SUBJ: Emerald Knight FROM: Long Bo 08/10/90 S#: 503484
I loose a biter at the nearest villain and move forward.
I speed towards any villain who bars my path dodging and moving.
Once close, I will dive forward firing my wrist lasers doing a front handspring that propels me up and over the villain. Upon landing I will complete a roundhouse kick.
Spectrum's Comments: Next Time: The battle continues as the Q-version of the resolution of the GSVC shifts into high gear! Some of it may seem familiar to what went down on the main site and some of it is completely different.
