@Azuth65  Took me a bit.  But here's the thread!

[Azuth65]

So, I feel like the best start is having Gauss stop as many vans as she can.  Power check to move/stop/rip-the-wheels-off vans?

[Brown Dynamite]

Alright, but it'll be four power checks!  Each Opposed by a different vehicle's speed.  Which is at a respectable 4 Speed vs Move Object Power Check: 4#1d20+4 14 18 6 9  Two of which she will stop without even rolling as the 9 comes at a lower base rank than her Move Object.

[Azuth65]

Apologies for the delay, didn't get the notification of the reply.  2 x 1d20+9 = 13 and 29  Bad news, one gets away.  Good news, The Spectacle gets to play speed bump

[Brown Dynamite]

So The Spectacle gets onto the scene and Rushes the van!: 1d20+14 33

That's an opposed Str Check

Opposed STR Check: 1d20+20 38  Funnily enough this means she would've won if not for the Size Bonus given to the van

I was going to get handwavey and instead of having it knock her back have her be knock'dback...until I realized the different was smaller than her Knockback resist.  So The Spectacle is knocked back five feet and prone at the start!  Only one thing to do now.  Roll Initiative!

1d20+7=11

 

So... I guess "speed bump" is scary accurate.

[Brown Dynamite]

Each van has four minions inside.  For speed.  Each group will share Initiative!

Thug's Initiative: 4#1d20+1 5 14 13 3
Spectacle's Initiative: 1d20+2 12
 

ROUND 1:

14 Thugs Group 2 (Thugs 5-8) - Unharmed x4 - Minions

13 Thugs Group 3 (Thugs 9-12) - Unharmed x4 - Minions

12 The Spectacle - Unharmed - Sidekick

11 Gauss - Unharmed - 3 HP

5 Thugs Group 1 (Thugs 1-4) - Unharmed x4 - Minions

3 Thugs Group 4 (Thugs 13-16) - Unharmed x4 - Minions

 

So let's start.  The Thugs in Group 2 will Slam (DC17): 1d20+3 23 into the Spectacle and since they cant crit Her impervious leaves them facing the recoil from the Slam: 1d20+12 19

So Thugs 9-12 will also exit their van.  9 and 10 will stay behind the doors and use them as cover.  Taking a standard action 9 will Shoot at the Spectacle: 1d20+3 12 Missing
Thug 10 will take a standard action to Shoot at Gauss (DC20): 1d20+3 6

Thug 11
Move Action:  Move away from the Van
Standard Action: Shoot at Gauss (DC20): 1d20+3 12

Thug 12:
Move Action: Move away from the Van
Standard Action: Shoot at the Spectacle (DC20): 1d20+3 16

The Spectacle
Free Action: Interpose for Gauss
Move Action: Leap on to the dash of the vehicle slamming into her.
Standard Action: She's going to take 10 and All-Out (-2 Def/+2 Ak) Power (-5 Atk/-5 Def) Attack vs the driver of Group 2 (DC28).  The thugs have Def of +5 all of which will be reduced by 2 thanks to the slam.  But, increased by +4 due to being behind cover.  Which Spectacle hits.  And the DC is too high for the thug to make!

Gauss is up in the initiative

Gauss is going to take the van 9 and 10 are using for cover in her magnetokinetic grip and spin it like a top, attempting to hit them both.
