Hmm...I guess that at this point its too late to bring up that you used my elven accuracy ability when I didn't tell you too last round, so I should still have it now?
Mario hops onto the stage, and swats away that pesky Lakitu cam that keeps following him. He looks at the fireflower in one hand and the iceflower in the other, and with a shrug, eats both of them. Eying the Red Shirt and Red Hood in front of him, and lets loose with a barrage of fire!
[tech] Spawn on Spiked Pit Stage, column 4 Minor: Master's Eye (extra 1d8 damage & 5 THP if I hit with my first attack; I grant CA if I miss) Standard: Elemental Bolt (using Elemental Escalation) vs. Red Shirt: +5 vs Reflex

(using Elven Accuracy if I miss & still have it)
Damage: 1d12+1d6+7 fire damage (+1d8+5 necrotic damage if I used Dark Reaping on the Red Shirt)
Right, I wrote it after the attack on Red Shirt, not on Red Hood (and after the attack on Excel). I didn't say anything at the time, because I assumed I'd be dead before my turn came up again. This is more me lamenting that decision than it actually is me trying to get that power back.
Although if you feel like giving me a re-roll, I have no problem with that.
[tech] Standard: Bond of Retribution on Nihil: +8 vs AC, on hit: 1d12+5 damage, and the first time an enemy other than the target hits or misses me before the end of my next turn, the target takes 3 radiant damage.
With a flick of her wrist, Selena Kyle lashes her whip around a statue of Goro and swings down two levels to settle in cozy with the red-shirted stranger. She gives a sneaky smile and snaps her whip past the ensign as it cracks against Excel. "Not today sugar."

if dropped, CONVOCATION OF SHADOWS again for insubstantial and phasing.
"A Party?! Good thing I was invited, you kiddies need a clown to show you some real fun!". "Nihil, your our first contestant! Step right up, and maybe win a prize!". And Nihil turns to face the clown, there is a burst of confetti and a solid 10lb Ice box (complete with bow) drops from the sky aimed directly over its head...

Nihil then starts his turn, ready for vengeance!
FYI, I'm off-site the rest of the day, so I won't be able to do much with FTMD until tomorrow morning.
The slime that coats the floor sears Nihil, but the smell is not that of normal flesh dissolving, but of something else entirely. He struggles to his feet. "Pitiful. If this is the best this world has to offer, then you will be enslaved all the more easily."
Cold energies flow from Nihil to Excel, who seems bolstered by it, if not entirely comfortable with the sensation of being "healed" by the strange, alien creature. "Please, continue to try and extinguish the flame that long ago guttered out. I am not afraid of the unending dark. Returning to it only makes me stronger."
Nihil turns to the Elf. "Let us see how oblivion treats you."

Superb! FINISH HIM!!!
Link is dropped unconscious and he does not have Stormhawk's Vengeance.
"Hmmm. What shall I do with this one?" As Link's consciousness fades, he realizes that the face of the creature next to him is lifeless and dead, if it even is a face at all.
[Tech] Action Point: Gain a standard action. Standard Action: Second Wind
Note: My triggers for Firedeath remain the same as I mentioned in the email.
Nihil readies himself for the coming onslaught as Red Hood Respawns, grabbing Kombat Kard (8); Sonya. He does not provoke Opportunity Attacks from moving and can use Leg Grab.
MY KINGDOM FOR AN AT-WILL CLOSE BLAST!!!
For those of you who are new, unless stated otherwise, the Dungeon Master assumes that dying characters choose to Respawn at the start of their turn. Especially on this map, which places such a high risk on "riding out the death saves".
The Red Hood chuckles as he respawns on the same level as Young Link, "You think you can permanently take me down? I've been trained by the Batman himself!" Moving forward with the intensity of a crazed hunter, the Red Hood calls out to Young Link, "Hey! Listen!" and lunges forward with his blade.
[Tech] The Red Hood spawns on the same level as Young Link at position 8. Move: Ambush Trick to move next to Young Link and as he doesn't have any allies next to him, he grants CA to Red Hood. Standard: MBA vs Young Link (+10 vs AC, 1d6+7 damage, +2d8 sneak attack damage) No Action: If the attack misses on a reasonable roll (no 1s or 2s for example,) then use Heroic Effort.
"Excel will go where she pleases!" (Sorry couldn't resist the Mundo reference.)
Tech: Standard Action: Excel activates Stalk and Strike. Using the property of the Johnny Cage card I slide one into Red Shirts Square. I then use the shift 2 on Stalk and Strike to shift through Catwoman and end up flanking her with Red Shirt. Attack +10 vs AC 3d8+6 damage on a hit. If I miss by 4 or less I will use Heroic Effort, If I drop her to 0 or fewer I will take the Scorpion card.
Minor action: Ninja leap to the spiked pit stage End turn
Link glances around, wondering why the strange figure in front of him was trying to get his attention and saying to listen, when there clearly was no one else around. Was he being confused for the other figure in the stunning green tunic?
Either way, he had been attacked, and he wouldn't let that pass. Focusing on the masked man, Link holds the Master Sword out behind him as it starts to glow, before unleashing a brutal spin attack.
Tech Minor: Warlock's Curse on Red Hood (until EoE or he drops, same old story)
Free: Holy Smite - Red Hood takes 4 radiant damage
Standard: Eldritch Strike: +8 vs AC 17 Damage 1d8 (brutal 2) + 1d6 + 6 and dazed until end of my next turn (no sliding)
Ensign Rizzo's log, 3619.2: Following the discovery of a large amout of tritanium ore on Argus X, we've been ordered to go down and investigate. I'm hoping this mission will give me the chance to prove myself to the captain. Anything I can do to climb up the ladder...
Tech: Standard Action: Basic attack vs Catwoman +9 vs AC, d12+7 damage Use Heroic effort if attack roll is within 4.
If she drops, move beside Excel on top of Link (if okay? If not, beside Link.) If she doesn't, stay put.
THUS ENDS ANOTHER EXCITING ROUND OF FOURTHCORE TEAM DEATHMATCH
The Immortals are taking the lead, but only by a hair's width, one Fatality away from losing it all. Can Excel's hand full of Kards ever be taken away? All the teams are rolling in with some impressive character builds, but very few with any multiple target effects. It's anyone's game as we head into the second half!
A big thanks to everyone for their excellent posting and in such a timely manner. Despite having one less dungeoneer to go through and a two week head start, Round 08 is catching up with Round 07 and may overtake them before match end!
THE SAGA CONTINUES!!! Join us in Round 04 at: http://www.fourthcoreteamdeathmatch.com/2012/03/round-4-fight.html
Mario eyes Excel from across the level, and pulls out a spined blue shell. "Here we goooooooooo!"

Hmm, I'm not sure why you're applying a -2 to your attack roll; dazed doesn't usually do that. From cover, maybe?
