[Tech] Spawn onto the warrior shrine stage Standard Action - total defense Move action - swing my arms from side to side #ObscureReference
minor question - could we either get the Kombat Kards numbered, or could you specify which card we get so I don't have to try and match up a tiny face picture with a card?
Sure thing, Mario got Jonny Cage, allowing you to slide 1 square either before or after each attack, and you gain the Nutbreaker encounter power. You also wear sunglasses and happen to be my favorite character in the series.
Link will have the Kano Kombat Kard, granting him the Chokehold encounter power, immunity to OA's from creatures he has grabbed, and the ability to slide around creatures he has grabbed when he moves.
Lastly, please indicate which square on your Arena you want to appear in. For most round, you can just say "adjacent to that guy" or some such, but being as we have an empty board, it would be best to indiacte where you want to go. For simplicity sake, we can say that the #1 Column is to the far left and the #12 Column is to the far right.
Link spawns and looks around silently. Wait, how'd he get here? And where'd that strange woman he'd been chasing go? He readies his weapon warily.

Catwoman leaps up on to the stage next to the fiery little plumber. "You really need to cool down little man." She pulls a little bottle off of her utility belt and sprays a cold substance on the mustached, little Italian. As ice crystals form over his body, bits of cold cling to Catwoman's jumpsuit granting her greater protection from harm.

Excel makes her way into Mortal Kombat, summoning the spirit of the necromancer Shang Tsung, Kombat Kard (9). She may steal Kombat Kards from those she has slain with You're Soul Is Mine, and is immune to attacks with the weapon keyword.
Yeah, that just happened. Team Arkham, prepare for a beatdown!
Excel appears in a loud explosion. After coughing this smoke from her lungs she whips off a smart salute. "Hail Ilpalazzo-samma, Excel has arrived to complete her mission. First secure emergency rations."
[Tech] Excel Appears in a square adjacent to Red Hood. Excel uses Thunder Hooves Rage against Red Hood (+8 vs. AC 3d8+6 damage on a hit half damage on a miss). If I miss by 4 or less use heroic effort. Trigger Disciple of Destruction feat if it applies.
The hooves thunder away! (16)+8 vs. AC 17; HIT!!! for (8)+(2)+(4)+6 damage! Red Hood is bloodied by that attack at 2 HP, so here comes the fun part; Excel's Disciple of Destruction deals an extra 5 HP to Red Hood, dropping him to -3 HP. This triggers both Red Hood's Stormhawk's Vengenace as well as FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!, for zero net effect. Lastly, this also trigger's YOUR SOUL IS MINE, stealing the Liu Kang Kombat Kard. Excel has her Move Action and Minor Action unspent. Map updates will be in the morning.
Excel quickly checks Red Hoods pockets for food, then jumps in the air laughing happily. On the way back down she slips and lands in the dead pool stage.
[Tech] Minor action check pockets Move action Ninja Leap to dead pool stage.
As quick heads up for effects on Excel. Utilizing Thunder Hooves Rage has caused me to enter the Bersekers Fury state which causes my melee basic attacks to do an additional 1d8 damage it will also make both of my at wills do and additional 1d8 as well. Also here is the text for the effect on Thunder Hooves Rage.
Effect: You enter the rage of the thunder hooves. Until the rage ends, you can move through one or two enemies’ spaces during each of your turns. When you move through an enemy’s space, your next attack against that enemy during the same turn deals 1[W] extra damage.
Barbarian Rages last until the end of the encounter.
I have been informed that this post may have sounded a bit braggy which was not my intention. I only wished to inform. If I offended anyone I apologize.
I don't think that was at all bragging, I always prefer more information to less.
As a clarification, Shang Tsung's Kombat Kard grants immunity to only untyped damage with the weapon keyword. So everyone with, I don't know, a lightsaber or something would be good to go.
Young Link springs onto the board, ready to avenge the pounding his team has gotten this round. He draws the Liu Kang Kombat Kard, dealing 5 extra damage on fire attacks and getting Bicycle Kick, an encounter attack power with no keywords whatsoever.
Link approaches the pedestal with the glowing sword stuck into it. He grabs the handle and pulls the blade free as a bright light surrounds him, filling him with energy. When his vision returns, he sees a strange woman staring at him. He doesn't know where he is, but he can sense she is a villain. He gives the Master Sword a swing, firing a beam of energy at her, then lets out a yell as he charges straight for her, sword held high.

Link is knocked down to the Spiked Pit stage, Red Shirt following. Young Link (due to his Armor of Agathys temp HP) survives the brutal thrashing, but is bloodied and prone at 7 HP.
You're correct, 39 damage, putting Young Link at a mere 4 HP! Ripe for the killing!
The 5 damage from the Spiked Pit Stage applies only when a dungeoneer slides a target. Think of it like sliding your enemy into the paper, impaled on the background spikes.
