And Motley gets Stunned.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Mister Motley: 16, Unharmed, Stunned (Catalyst's Action), 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 4 HP

He's in the fog, so Cannonade still has to make the blow connect. He tries another Shockwave, because why not? Motley doesn't make it this time, and gets Dazed and Staggered. And now it's time for the addicts to join the fray! They'll be PL8 Minions. I said PL10 before, and we'll say they have the same stats they lent Motley but with adjustments to match PL8. The Zoom Addicts go on 15 and 21, and the Max Addicts go on 19 and 1.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, 0 HP

Max Addict 1: 19, Unharmed, 0 HP

Mister Motley: 16, Unharmed, Dazed (Cannonade's Action), Staggered, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 4 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, 0 HP

Max Addict 2: 1, Unharmed, 0 HP

Catalyst is up next.

They're out of the fog at this point, but the blow will still hit. And they're both Bound.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound, 0 HP

Max Addict 1: 19, Unharmed, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 4 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound, 0 HP

Max Addict 2: 1, Unharmed, 0 HP

Zoom Addict 1 attempt to break his Snare. The Snare makes the DC23 Toughness save and holds. Max Addict 1 charges in and swings at Cannonade. It dodges the miss chance, but does not hit. Motley does nothing, as he's still Dazed, but not for long. Cannonade has to deal with the fact that there's another massive hulk in the fog with him, so he Power Attacks for +3. He likewise dodges the miss chance, just manages to hit, and Dazes and Staggers the guy.

Zoom Addict 2 strikes at his snare, but it likewise holds up. Max Addict 2 attempts a Groundstrike, which is effectively a rank 8 Area Trip, so that's DC18 Reflex to halve, DC23 Str/Dex/Acrobatics (or DC19, if you were successful the first time) to avoid. Cannonade fails to halve, remains upright, Mister Motley avoids it outright due to Evasion, and Max Addict 1 halves it and stays upright.

All right. Before we go forward, I forgot these guys are Minions, so Max Addict 1 is down. Now that that's done with, Mister Motley, whose Defense is +12, is not hit by the blast on a Targeted Area attack. The other guys, however, totally are. Max Addict 2 is down 10, Zoom Addict 1 is down 4 with his effective DEF of 5, and Zoom Addict 2 powers through it.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 1 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound, -2 Fort, 0 HP

Mister Motley: 16, Unharmed, Staggered, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 4 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound, 0 HP

Max Addict 2: 1, Unharmed, -10 Fort, 0 HP

Zoom Addict 1 tries to break free of his Snare, and wounds it.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 1 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), -2 Fort, 0 HP

Mister Motley: 16, Unharmed, Staggered, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 4 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound, 0 HP

Max Addict 2: 1, Unharmed, -10 Fort, 0 HP

Mister Motley takes the opportunity to slither out of the smoke and for the nearest drainage ditch. This will be a clean getaway at this time, so both Catalyst and Cannonade should take a Hero Point. He is still Staggered, however.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), -2 Fort, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 5 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound, 0 HP

Max Addict 2: 1, Unharmed, -10 Fort, 0 HP

Cannonade runs after him, and runs out of the fog and right into the path of Max Addict 2, who he punches in the face with another +3 Power Attack. And boom goes the dynamite. That'll be a DC33 Toughness save, which he most definitely does not make. So he goes down hard.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), -2 Fort, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 5 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound, 0 HP

Zoom Addict 2 sees that, and has reason to try and break out some more. His Snare is Injured as well.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), -2 Fort, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 5 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), 0 HP

At the end of the round, Mister Motley blows a switch and starts flooding the warehouse with the mutagen, which effectively acts as an Empowerment 5 (Extras: Area Cloud, Duration [Continuous]) effect. Catalyst, with her protection from chemical effects, will be fine. Cannonade, on the other hand, gets a Hero Point due to the fact that he now needs to keep rolling Fortitude saves every round until the leak is patched.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), -2 Fort, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, 6 HP

Okay, Catalyst will use this round to spend an HP to use her nullify power.

Nullify 5 (Mutation Powers) (Extras: Autofire, Alternate Roll (Fortitude), Duration 2 [substained], Targetted Area [burst], Flaw: Limited Chemical Mutations, Feats: Progression Area 1 (10 Ft) 30PP

She'll fully power shift this attack as well to hit everyone, including the max users as a precauction so they won't have to make the fortitude rolls to not die.

17, that should hit everyon. DC 20 fortitude for those who can make it. Cannonade is technically flat-footed it should hit him just fine, it's a substained power, so it should cancel out the effects of the empowerment.

The max users, being unconscious, will relent. Cannonade hasn't been affected yet, so we'll say that works as an inoculation. Zoom User 1 fights off the effects, Zoom User 2 is inoculated. And as he's inoculated, I'll rule that serves as an emetic for the zoom, meaning it purges without risk of heart failure. Zoom User 1 goes next, and at the start of his turn, needs to make a DC15 Fortitude save to resist the gas. And fails. And what 25 points worth of powers does he acquire?

Blast 8 (Extras: Autofire 1; Power Feats: Improved Critical) [25 PP]

That can't be good. He unleashes the flaming fury, and hits Cannonade. That's a DC25 Toughness save for Cannonade, which breaks his Impervious. He is Bruised and Dazed. Hero Point! With the +10, that's actually much better.

Catalyst: 25, Unharmed, 2 HP

Zoom Addict 1: 21, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), -2 Fort, Mutated, 0 HP

Cannonade: 16, Unharmed, Inoculated, 5 HP

Zoom Addict 2: 15, Unharmed, Bound (Snare - Injured x1), Inoculated, 0 HP

Cannonade decides the best way to deal with a man on fire is a good, solid punching. He closes the distance and misses. Screw it, another Hero Point. Much better. That's a DC25 Toughness save for the Zoom Addict, which he fails, causing him to fall unconscious as a Minion.

We're out of rounds, though Catalyst will need to tag Zoom Addict 1 with the antigen so that he doesn't have a heart attack when he comes off zoom the hard way. Likewise, we're now free to try tracking Mister Motley again.

And our initiative goes as thus:

Cannonade: 20, Unharmed, 2 HP

Catalyst: 18, Unharmed, 5 HP

Mister Motley: 11, Unharmed, Staggered, 0 HP

Cannonade leaps across the way to Mister Motley's van, needing to stick a DC20 Acrobatics so as to not fall off. Nope. So instead, he takes a second Move Action to keep up with the van by running alongside it.

Catalyst is up next.

All right. That should be Motley's Reflex save, then. The van gets Pinned, and thus comes to a complete stop. Motley slithers out as a Move Action, and Power Attacks Cannonade for +4. Motley just misses. It's Round 2, and Cannonade responds by delivering a solid punch. It hits, and Motley is Bruised and Dazed.

Cannonade: 20, Unharmed, 2 HP

Catalyst: 18, Unharmed, 5 HP

Mister Motley: 11, Bruised x1, Dazed (Cannonade's Action), Staggered, 0 HP

Catalyst is up next.
