High above the South China Sea two titans are locked in an Epic struggle. The Alien Hero attempted to dislodge Chainsaw. Chainsaw matched Adamas strength for strength. Adamas can’t free himself from the revenant’s bear hug.
Adams ceased to struggle with the chainsaw wielding villain; instead he stared into the eyes of his opponent. BRAZK! Beams of Power fire from the Aliens eyes blast Chainsaw full in the face. The force is too much. Adamas can feel his opponents grip loosen and then let go.
The amnesiac avenger hovers watching his fallen foe tumble head over heel the long way down to the sea. As the smell of burnt burlap and flesh disappeared, Adamas heard the splash which signaled his objective had been accomplished.
Turning in place, Adamas identified the location of the Temple of Juompur. He soared to it with his maximum speed. He did not slow down or aim for the doorway. He flew straight through the roof.
BOOM! He smashed through the roof and WHAM!! landed on the Temple floor creating a minor crater. He paused to survey the situation within the Temple. To his left Occult is on the ground unconscious. To his right Windblown carefully watches the movements between Samhain and Agent America. He looks for an opening to attack.
In front of him Samhain is desperately trying to reach the Chinese imposter. The fake Chinamen expertly dodges and weaves. He slowly steered Samhain around the room. Agent America leapt up, tumbling through the air, and landed right between Samhain and the statue. Then the acrobatic agent mocked Samhain: "Hey, I hear there are still Knights Templar hiding in the Freemasons."
The monster bellowed in anger.
Sensing the opening he had been looking for Agent America punched Samhain and then back flip up and over the dragon statue, landing on the other side of it. With the Dragon between Samhain and Agent America, the devious defender of democracy hoped that Samhain will charge like an angry bull through the Dragon statue to get at Agent America.
The man from M.E.D.U.S.A.’s planned worked to perfection. Samhain swings wildly at anything in his path. He strikes the Dragon. The glowing shield appears again but a little paler than before. BRAKT! A bolt of magical energy erupts from the Dragon statue. It barely misses hitting Samhain’s head and striking the wall behind Adamas [GM note: rolled 20 automatic failure with wild miss hitting something].
The Temple stones started to groan and Adamas looked up to see the bolt has damage the structural supports in the wall which was holding up the part of the roof he broke through. Before he could react the ceiling caves in and buries him under stone and slate roofing [GM note: Agility saving roll failed, Damage -21 points to Invulnerability].
[While Adamas is over the Seas, back at the Temple ~ ed.]
The fate of the world is being decided in a small Temple on the small Island of Juompur in the South China Sea. Two mighty forces are fighting over the possession of a small Statue of a Dragon. The magical power that the Dragon of Juompur possesses is not small. It can open a portal to the dimension known as the Domain.
That is what it has started to do now.
A Chinese peasant and a Somali pirate are facing a monster and gorgeous woman. Looks are deceiving. Only the monster is what he appears to be. The woman is the witch Occult. She is the one who had performed the necessary rituals to get the Dragon to open the portal. She is willing to sacrifice her world for power.
The Chinese peasant is the American hero Agent America and the Somali pirate is his fellow American hero Windblown. The daredevil of democracy said quietly to Windblown: “Target the woman”. His partner nods yes and focused on the witch. Then Agent America said into his comm. coin:” D.S. status report.”
From the com-badge they hear "Son of a bitch. Every time I touch the damn thing. It teleports me away. Doc says keep smashing the thing, but we've got less than 75 seconds to secure the Dragon, and I don't have enough juice left to make the trip home on my own now." Touching it has taken me out of the fight twice now, thinks the mighty DarkStar. He is the third member of the team.
"Windblown, AA, If you can throw one of our opponents into the statue they might just be teleported away also. With any luck, that will give us a chance to take down the Dragon's protective sphere unmolested."
"Adamas we could really use your firepower back at the Temple"
Samhain moves toward the Chinese peasant. The great imposter ducks and rolls past the murder. He dodges and weaves. Each step he is moving toward the statue. He keeps himself between Samhain and the statue.
Whoosh! A gale force wind moves from the south side of the Temple. It passes through the magical protection surrounding Occult and slams into her. She cries out and slams into the wall. She falls to the floor and does not get up.
WHOUMP! DarkStar appears in the south end of the Temple. He holds a massive boulder over his head. He launches the boulder at the Statue with all his strength. A magical field appears surrounding the Dragon. Its field changes colors and wavers when struck by the boulder. The boulder is turned into dust but the magical field remains. The magical field is paler than before.
A sliver beam appears from the statue. It travels from the statue toward Cmd. Rose. When it strikes the blue mountain man, he disappears … again.
The Chinese peasant frowned. "Where is it teleporting you to, DS?"
“A remote part of the Island about 4 miles from you. Give me a couple of seconds to catch my breath and I will be back. I will want to hit something and hit it hard!”
BOOM! Adamas smashed through the roof and WHAM!! landed on the Temple floor creating a minor crater. He paused to survey the situation within the Temple. To his left Occult is on the ground unconscious. To his right Windblown carefully watches the movements between Samhain and Agent America. The pirate looks for an opening to attack.

The man from M.E.D.U.S.A.’s planned worked to perfection [GM note: a half luck point used]. Samhain swings wildly at anything in his path. He strikes the Dragon. The glowing shield appears again but even a little paler than before. BRAKT! A bolt of magical energy erupts from the Dragon statue.

Before he could react the ceiling caves in and buries him under stone and slate roofing [GM note: Agility saving roll failed, Damage -21 points to Invulnerability].
Windblown is the first to react after the ceiling caved in. He launches a wind blast at Samhain and hits. The monster reacts. It felt the blow.
WHOUMP! A blue giant of anger appeared next to Samhain … with a broad smile Cmd. Rose pulls back his fist. Electrical currents run all over his arm. BRZZZT! Samhain receives an Electrical Haymaker to his ugly kisser. His head and shoulders are burnt from the electrical shock. He staggers back a couple of steps and stares at DarkStar with murderous eyes.
GGGRRRRR!!!!
[While Adamas in over the sea, Agent America & Windblown are in the Temple, DarkStar is in the jungle ~ ed.]
Standing all alone in the jungle, the transportation genius is angry. He was losing a fight with a statue, a stupid Dragon statue.
Cmd. Rose hear from his com-badge Agent America speak:” D.S. status report.”
He speaks into his com-badge w/ mic open "Son of a bitch. Every time I touch the damn thing. It teleports me away. Doc says keep smashing the thing, but we've got less than 75 seconds to secure the Dragon, and I don't have enough juice left to make the trip home on my own now." Touching it has taken me out of the fight twice now, thinks the mighty DarkStar.
"Windblown, AA, If you can throw one of our opponents into the statue they might just be teleported away also. With any luck, that will give us a chance to take down the Dragon's protective sphere unmolested."
"Adamas we could really use your firepower back at the Temple"
Cmd. Rose pulls out his Holo-pad. “Cybil find me the biggest boulder you can”, he winces, “within walking distance from where I am”. After receiving the coordinates the Commander jogs off to get it.
DarkStar stops in front of the boulder. Once last time he checks the mineral composition and mass. It will work. He bends down and gently lifts the massive orb of ore over his head.
WHOUMP! DarkStar appears in the south end of the Temple. He holds a massive boulder over his head. He launches the boulder at the Statue with all his strength. A magical field appears surrounding the Dragon. Its field changes colors and wavers when struck by the boulder. The boulder is turned into dust but the magical field remains. The magical field is paler than before.
A sliver beam appears from the statue. It travels from the statue toward Cmd. Rose. When it strikes the blue mountain man, he disappears … again.
The Chinese peasant frowned. "Where is it teleporting you to, DS?"
Looking at the same foliage again, he responds, “A remote part of the Island about 4 miles from you. Give me a couple of seconds to catch my breath and I will be back. I will want to hit something and hit it hard!”
Concentrating DarkStar manipulating the electrical currents surrounding his armor, he focuses to create a massive electrical buildup into his arms. Anything on the receiving end of his fists will receive more than a little static shock to go with it.
WHOUMP!
A blue giant of anger appeared next to Samhain. He quickly obtains tactical situational status. Occult is down. Windblown is back way from the statue. AA is between the statue and the opening portal. The roof has caved in on the left side into a large mound. Samhain is standing in front of him … with a broad smile Cmd. Rose pulls back his fist. Electrical currents run all over his arm. BRZZZT! Samhain receives an Electrical Haymaker to his ugly kisser. His head and shoulders are burnt from the electrical shock. He staggers back a couple of steps and stares at DarkStar with murderous eyes.
GGGRRRRR!!!!

"Adamas we could really use your firepower back at the temple"
OOC: Hoping this might be the trick we need to get Samhain and the hussy out of our hair. Really Tom? Samhain! and me focused on the Dragon. I'd have loved to had Dark Star go mano a mano with him. I'm betting AA would be peachy but WB needs to stay the hell away from that paranormal psycho. Sure as hell isn't like starting out with CaCC
DarkStar's Goal/Actions: If picking up a rock and throwing it is one Action, then the Commander will look for the biggest damned boulder he can lift and teleport back to the temple chucking the sucker at the Dragon's protective sphere. Rinse and Repeat with rubble at the Temple if possible. If AA, WB or Adamas have better luck I'll run interference for them instead of what we're doing now.
If I have to hold my 1st Action that's fine, I'm the slowest anyway I think. I'll wait til last second possible to teleport back to the Temple as long as it still allows me two attacks this Turn
"Dark Star Out"

The Chinese peasant frowned. "Where is it teleporting you to, DS?"
<Reply DS>
"The direct approach isn't getting anywhere with the Dragon. The field might teleport your boulder away. Maybe we should switch it up.
Rose, why don't you tackle Occult? With Adamas handling Chainsaw, we need one big gun in this fight.
I'll handle Samhain, seeing how I've already got his attention.
Windblown why don't you have a go at the statue? Maybe you can move it with your wind power? We know the defense field works on physical approaches. maybe a subtler one could succeed."
The star spangled super spy will Evade and leap up, tumbling through the air, and land right between Samhain and the statue, facing "west" on the map to keep an eye on Samhain and Occult. Then the acrobatic agent will mock Samhain: "Hey, I hear there are still Knights Templar hiding in the Freemasons."
Goal:
By evading in close quarters in front of the statue, the Agent hopes Samhain will miss him and hit the energy field around the Dragon, damaging its protective capabilities or teleporting Samhain away, like Rose suggested.
Or, Samhain might accidentally hit Occult. If Agent America understood half of what Doc Arcane said about zombies and revenants, Samhain can't be controlled by Occult. If he goes into a berserk frenzy, maybe he'll tear her up too.
OOC: The Agent will spend half a Luck Point if it can help achieve his goal

Agent America gets two actions per turn. Is he going to hold the second action?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agent America Reply
OOC:
Sorry! Second Action:
If Samhain is still in the fight, Agent America will throw a punch at him (attack) and then backflip up and over the dragon statue, landing on the other side of it. With the Dragon between Samhain and Agent America, the devious defender of democracy hopes that Samhain will charge like an angry bull through the Dragon statue to get at Agent America.
If Samhain is out of this fight by AA's second action, Agent America will leap straight up and kick out at Occult!
Thanks,
Jeff
