Iron Fist hops over the ledge and hangs off of it.  He then lets go, and then grabs the window sill underneath.  When he's low enough, he leaps off a window sill, does a summersault in the air, and lands a few feet away from Daredevil.

He then addresses the Wrecking Crew.

"Guys, we can dial it down a notch or two.  I know She-Hulk threw the first punch, and I don't know why a prosecuting attorney would do that with all these people around-" With that, Iron Fist glares at She-Hulk. "But that doesn't mean we have to continue.  Yeah, that is what we often do, but that doesn't mean we have to."

Iron Fist stands with his feet shoulder-width apart, arms at his sides, palms facing towards the combatants in peace.

Please do not edit your post after a significant time has passed.  If it is a minor change that does not affect the dice pool or the outcome or if it is an addition that does not make a big difference, editing the post up to, say, an hour is acceptable.  But please try to minimize any edits.  Adding or changing a pick for next action well after the fact can disrupt an action sequence.

Yellowjacket: Also, be sure to note your current PP tally, preferably at the end of the post.  Your current count should be 2.

Doom Pool (4d6) reaction to Yellowjacket's attempt to create Human Shield Asset, Total: 12, Effect: d10 (msg #6):
Watcher rolled 4,1,4,3 using d6,d6,d6,d6 ((4,1,4,3)).

Total = 8, Effect = d6.
1 Opportunity.
Asset Creation successful.

As Yellowjacket grows in size, the crowd below him becomes even more restless.  If the widespread panic on these streets was about to boil over, it has now.  The people are disturbed by the sight of a man growing to monstrous proportions above them, even if this hero has proven himself on occasion.  This is a time when Dr. Pym's changing identities and confusing public persona can work against him.  Even a more well-know hero might not be enough to stop the crowd from going unglued, but now, along with villains on the corner getting into an altercation with a popular Avenger, there's no reason to stay calm and in the same place.  The civilians on the sidewalks rush in all directions and some folks abandon their cars and join the throng.  While Dr. Pym has succeeded in reaching a powerful physical state where he can protect the people, the people are too scared and running for their lives to be concerned.

Acting against the distinction is acceptable but I don't think it could be reduced, as all Distinctions are d8.

The second Doom Pool reaction to Yellowjacket's attempt to create Asset dice roll was on accident and I don't know why the Dice Roller did it.

Doom Pool (4d6) reaction to Daredevil's attempt to reduce/eliminate Crowded Manhattan Streets Scene Distinction, Total: 12, Effect: d10 (msg #6):
Watcher rolled 1,1,4,2 using d6,d6,d6,d6 ((1,1,4,2)).

Total: 6, Effect: d4 (default).
2 Opportunities.
Crowded Manhattan Streets Scene Distinction elimination successful.

The steam of people on the street, while panicked, are reasonable enough to follow a good, assertive direction toward a safer place.  Not every single one of them leave but enough do so that the herd is thinned enough that they do not pose their own threat and, perhaps more importantly, that there are none directly between the assembling heroes, their opponents, and the immediate area.

Piledriver, facing the side of the street where Yellowjacket suddenly just appeared, looks up at the man growing toward the sky.  "Engage with you?  You ain't even my type!"  He guffaws at his joke.  "I wouldn't even hit on ya!"  He slams one mighty fist into the palm of his other hand in front of his chest.  "But I'm sure gonna hit ya! And now you're just the right size ta make an easy target for us!"

Emotional attack (intimidation) on Yellowjacket:

Total: 8, Effect: d4 (default)

Thunderball would comment on Piledriver's ridiculous threat but he's stunned into speechlessness by how he was able to take down the famed jade giantess.

A tiny dot in the sky soaring along the rooftops of Manhattan's skyscrapers suddenly drops straight down then pulls itself from the dive mere stories from the street and zooms closer to reveal itself as the red-and-white-garbed, high-flying Avenger the Falcon.  He swoops along the street, only feet feet above the tops of cars, carrying by the underarms a blond man in a form-fitting suit criss-crossed by technical lines (recognizable to She-Hulk from the incident at the warehouse).  "This looks like it's about to get rough," he says to his companion, "if it hasn't already."  He circles the scene once or twice, getting an idea of what is going on below.  "You know," he says, "this place is right by -- " then nearly runs into Yellowjacket, who grows into the avian Avengers' air-space.  He corrects his path then swoops down near the scuffle with the Wrecking Crew.  "I'm gonna set you down then help with traffic."

The Falcon sets down his comrade then zips up and out to the far end of the street and the coming congestion there.

Falcon adds Subsonic Flight d8 to Havok's next dice pool

Havok has Buddy Affiliation until the next round or until he interacts with the scene/the scene interacts with him

Next Action: Havok

The Wrecker turns toward Iron Fist.  "We didn't start it but you c'n beat we sure can finish it."  He taps his palm slowly with his crowbar and smiles.  "Whynachu bring your cute little leotard over here and we can talk about it."  Less a question and more a statement.

Iron Fist did not perform an action with a dice pool so he is still eligible to take an action this turn.

Yellowjacket raises his eyebrow and looks back over towards the dispersing crowds. A moment later he turns back to the wrecker, "Mr. Calusky I am not here to engage in senseless combat but to protect innocents from your upcoming fight."

I didn't add Opportunity dice to the Doom Pool. I won't redo Doom Pool dice pools but I'll add them now:
Msg #6: 1 Opp into d6

Msg #7: 3 Opps into d8

Msg #8: 1 Opp into d6

Doom Pool: 4d6 +d6 +d8 +d6 = 6d6, d8

Iron Fist takes only a few steps forward towards the wrecking crew.  If he wants to attack, he'll have to take a running start to get there first.  But he wants to try again with words, and this time, he's going to put some extra oomph to it (OOC: by rolling dice).


"But you did finish it!  You proved to be the better men today.  You came out here all big and bad, you goaded us into a fight, one of us took the bait, she swung, you swung back, and now she's seeing stars, and not even a mail box got flattened.  Hey, we're prepared to call it a day and let you guys have the win.  Can we please go get a beer now?"

Iron Fist: Your action was out of turn.  I should have been clearer, that you're eligible for a turn once someone chooses you to take the next action, and I don't think the post with the initiative order was updated.  The action can stand but I'm going to hold the reaction until after Havok, the next action called, goes.  Also, who are you targeting with that emotional attack?

In reply to Watcher (msg # 18):

Pardon for misunderstanding.  In any case, I was targeting Wrecker.

Seeing that Daredevil and Yellowjacket were dealing with the innocent bystanders, Alex instructed Falcon drop him into position between Thunderball and The Jade Giantess. Havok's sudden appearance, thanks to Falcon's powers of subsonic flight, takes Thunderball by surprise.

"I get that she hit you first...but hitting a woman with a metal ball? That's low, even for you", Havok quips, his hands beginning glow while staring a hole through Thunderball's head. "So, pack it up and call it a day before this escalates." Havok's hands are now encircled in blue bands of plasma that dissipates as it drips down towards the street.

On second thought, it could have been a mental attack instead of an emotional attack, since you're trying to convince him of something rather than intimidating or seducing and you used Psyche Expert instead of Menace (and to give mental attacks a little action since they're used so rarely).  The result is basically the same.

Wrecker's reaction to Iron Fist's emotional attack, Total: 15, Effect: d10 (msg #17):

Doom Pool: 6d6, d8 -d8 = 6d6

"Sorry, Bruce Leroy.  I'm on the clock.  And I ain't goin' nowheres."  Then, after taking note of how many heroes are assembling around him with widening eyes, he glances at the ground then back up again, takes half a step back and crouches into a battle-ready pose.  But says nothing else.  His silence is more significant than anything that could come out of his mouth.

Havok's Affiliation should have been Buddy instead of Team, as noted in msg #13.

"I'll defend myself however I have to," Thunderball says.  "And don't forget you're the one who brought the trouble to us.  But we'll clean it up... after we tear it down."  Like the Wrecker, he takes a cautious look at the heroes around him and flinches minimally.  "You might also note that your plasma is dripping."  His grip tightens around the chain of his wrecking ball.  "Mutant," he sneers.

The Wrecker knows when his back is to the wall.  But a rat is most dangerous when it's cornered.  The Wrecker raises his enchanted crowbar and fists to the air and throws back his head in a joyous exaltation: "It's WRECKIN' TIIIIIIIIIME!"

Grandstanding: Add d10 to the Doom Pool.

Since all heroes are in close proximity of each other, everyone is at Team Affiliation (except for anyone who is hidden, who will be Solo until after they are revealed).

Doom Pool: 5d6 +d10 = 5d6, d10
Next Action: Iron Fist (new round)

Havok notices Thunderball's minor flinch, but it make no matter. Bullies are all the same.

"Don't like mutants? That's too bad." Havok flinches not a bit. Having been hunted by Sentinels and captured by Larry Trask, son of Bolivar Trask, Alex Summers knows how to deal with those who don't like mutants.

I'm activating Thunderball's opportunity, and will use it on my next turn.

Havok has 0 PP.

"(Sigh), well, I tried." Iron Fist says under his breath.

Iron Fist charges at Wrecker. As he closes in, he feints, side steps to Wrecker's left, and attacks with his fist of iron going straight for Wrecker's temple.  He activates TWO of his SFX:

SFX: Iron Fist. Double or step up Enhanced Strength for one action. If that action fails, shutdown Enhanced Strength. Recover power by activating an opportunity or during a Transition Scene.

SFX: Chi Focus. In a pool including a Heart of Shou-Lao die, replace two dice of equal steps with one die of +1 step.

Team: d6, Living Weapon of K'un Lun: d4, Enhanced Strength: d8, Enhanced Strength (SFX Iron Fist): d8, Combat Master: d10, Wrecker's Emotional Stress: d10

Iron Fist has 0 Plot Points.

It is Yellow Jacket's turn.

Yellowjacket turns his currently massive head to double check that the civilians are cleared then reaches over to pluck She-Hulk off the ground, "Despite the moniker Hulk you are allowed to use your head for more than a punching bag madam." He sits her back on the ground out of easy strike range, "Now lets see about getting something to patch you up." He taps on the trunk of the near by car popping open its trunk, and breaking it a bit, "Ah. I'll have to reimburse them for that." He's all but totally the rear end of the vehicle but does manage to find of all things a first aid kit which with extreme care he drops into She-Hulk's lap.

<<d6 added to Doom Pool from Opportunity

Iron Fist: How did you use Living Weapon of K'un Lun as a negative? It's acceptable for you to use it in your dice pool but I'm wondering, for the story, how you consider that it worked against you.

Iron Fist's charged fist hits something even harder than iron.  The Wrecker moved his face with the impact of the blow but it is clear that it did no damage.  He snarls, "See?  How hard was it come over here?"  He puts his shoulders back and raises his magic crowbar and his eyes brighten.  "And now we can play."

Doom Pool (5d6, d10) reaction to Yellowjacket's attempt to create Recovery Asset, Total: 16, Effect: d8 (msg #26):

Watcher rolled 1,2,2,5,1,8 using d6,d6,d6,d6,d6,d10 ((1,2,2,5,1,8)).

Total: 13, Effect: d6.
2 Opportunities.
Recovery Asset creation successful.

What luck to find a first aid kit!  Yellowjacket's over-sized hands are just able to pull the kit from the trunk of the car and deposit it in She-Hulk's lap. The guy whose car just had its trunk popped gets out and looks way, way up at the massive hero, mouth agape.

Daredevil scowls in his sweaty mask as the situation deteriorates completely.  Danny had been doing so well...The Wrecker had mentioned that he was on the clock, someone paid him to be here, but Matt could tell by the sound of his pulse that the big man had been on the verge of cutting his losses.  Maybe there was still a way to avoid having a good chunk of the Big Apple leveled today..

Like a shadow, Daredevil is suddenly on the nearest fire escape overlooking The Wrecking Crew, glaring down at their leader with the best Wolverine impression Matt can muster...

"Dirk Garthwaite.  How long you been out of prison, Dirk?  You just assaulted the world's most famous female attorney in broad daylight, so I guess you can measure the remaining free time in minutes, I'd say.

"Walk away.  Let them patch her up and maybe we can forget this happened.  Until the next time that is." Daredevil focuses all his senses on The Wrecker's heartbeat, praying that these Asgardian-level powerhouses realize he's only sweating from the heat.

((Attempting to step up the Emotional Stress on The Wrecker:
Team d6, Man Without Fear d8, Superhuman Senses d10, Crime Master d10
15:15, Today: Daredevil rolled 2,5,1,7 using d6,d8,d10,d10, unique dice with rolls of 2,5,1,7.  I dare you to face down The friggin' Wrecker!
Total 12, Effect d6, 1 Opp for the Watcher means Daredevil is at 3PP

Next Reaction: Wrecker
Next Action: Havok))

In reply to Wrecker (msg # 27):

OOC: Sorry, that was a typo. I used a d8.

Wrecker reacts to Daredevil's emotional attack, Total: 12, Effect: d6:
Team    d10
Violent Tendencies  d8
Menace Expert    d8
From Doom Pool    d10

Wrecker rolled 3,5,6 using d10,d8,d10 ((3,5,6)).
Wrecker rolled 4 using 1d8 ((4)).

Total: 11, Effect: d10

The Effect die takes DD's to d4 but it still contributes to pushing the existing stress up, so the Wrecker's emotional stress steps to d12

Doom Pool: 5d6, d10 -d10 = 5d6

"Wha -- ?" The Wrecker's attention is shaken by the sudden appearance of another hero.  Horn-Head is within striking distance but the Wrecker knows he's surrounded, with the giant in the yellow costume looming above all of them.  The Avengers he could take -- and has -- but this is a lot of heroes he doesn't know, and a lot of tricks up a lot of mysterious sleeves.  The Wrecker knows he and his boys haven't done anything wrong -- nothing they didn't defend themselves from -- but whatever these new heroes have could be worse than prison.

I'm using Thunderball's opportunity to create a stunt for my Combat Expert ability, Tactician d8. Havok's been in combat, and directed the efforts of others in combat, so many times that everything he does is a calculated move.

"As for the plasma," Havok starts, glancing down at his hands, and then back up at Thunderball "...yeah, it behaves like a fluid sometimes. Dripping can be expected. But I don't need to tell a brilliant physicist, like you Dr. Franklin, how cosmic plasmas behave." To think, this criminal is on par with Dr. Banner. Amazing.

"And as a man of science, you know disintegration can be expected as well. So that metal chain you're squeezing...trying to summon the courage to make your next move: it's not going to be attached to that ball for very long. And then, what are you going to do? Use your fists?"

"Last Chance. Stand. Down."

Attack to cause emotional stress on Thunderball.

Dice Pool: Team d10, Something to Prove d8, Thuderball's Stress d8, Combat Expert d8, Tactician d8

01:39, Today: Havok rolled 1,1,4,8,1 using d10,d8,d8,d8,d8 with rolls of 1,1,4,8,1.

<<Adding d8 to the Doom Pool from Havok's Opportunities; 1 PP to Havok.

The Menace Specialty would be used to make an emotional attack. I'm adding my Combat Expert to balance it out.

Please end your post with your current tally of PPs. Havok, you ought to be at 1.

Reacting Effect die beats acting Effect so d4 steps down to nothing

Thunderball does not flinch.  "If you know so much about me, you know that this chain was enchanted in Asgard.  So it's a lot stronger than anything you have, by far.  But my fists could do the job just as well on a weak fool like you."  He snickers.  "This isn't even your fight, mutie.  So if you're done giving last chances and you're not ready to fight, then you can drip your irradiated hide out of here."

Next to him, Piledriver smiles devilishly and cracks his knuckles.
