((Hawkeye: you earn a PP as the Doom Pool adds another 1d6, and you spend it to apply your Successful d8 Effect back onto Mandrill, stepping his Physical Stress up to d12!

So three good things: Mandrill is one Physical Damage step away from being Stressed Out of the fight, you get to add a d12 into any pool targeting him, AND it's your turn to take a Full Action! Do so and then nominate next!))

Mandrill's bloodcurdling, pheromone-laced cry for blood instantly becomes a bloody cry, his attempts to catch Clint's attention backfiring in the worst possible way as Clint fires back!

[Samurai]

((Iron Fist reacts to Disembowel Iron Fist! with Buddy d10, Hero, Hireable or Otherwise d4 (affected by business partner and friend's fate) +1PP, Enhanced Reflexes d8, Combat Master d10, which gives us: 2, 3, 5, 5 -- 10 in the absence of another PP spent, which isn't happening this round. Daniel Rand takes d8 physical stress.))

The honed instincts of a man who has trained for thousands upon thousands of hours in hand-to-hand combat are what save the Living Weapon of K'un L'un; even while his conscious mind is still in turmoil, his body is reacting to the movement glimpsed only in peripheral vision and identified somewhere in his subconscious as a threat. So it is that his body takes only a glancing blow from Vermin as he steps backwards in an arc -- but even so, the razor-sharp claws of his assailant leave trails of blood across his torso.

[Zengus]

Clint sees Iron Fist take the hit, and feels the pressure amp up a little more. Nothing spurs an opponent on like seeing a little blood.

Shit, shit, doubleshit. I need to put this clown down and help Danny.

Before anyone else can react to Iron Fist's injury, Clint draws on the wounded Mandrill and takes another shot, aiming to put him out of the battle this time.

[Shot on Mandrill, using d6 Buddy, d8 Peerless marksman, d8 Enhanced Reflexes, d8 Weapon, d10 Combat Master, d12 for existing stress on Mandrill. Dropping d8 Peerless Marksman to reflect the "Kill Iron Fist!" complication. Results 6, 3, 4, 6, 10. Taking 10(d12) and 6(d6) for 16, spending my last plot point (heh, thanks indeed Mandrill) to keep another result die and take the other 6(d10) to make 22, keeping d8 for effect die.]

((Edit: Also, nominate Iron Fist for next move, of course))

((Mandrill reacts to arrows flying at him! Team d8, Monkey Featured d8, Enhanced Reflexes d8, Clint's Mind Control Complication d8 = 7, 2, 2, 5, = Total 12, Effect d8, beaten by Double Extraordinary Success which is far more than enough to step Mandrill's Physical Stress up over d12 and put him out of the fight!

HAWKEYE, your Mind Control Complication is lifted, as Mandrill cannot maintain it anymore!))

Mandrill blinks in the smoke; he takes a single sucking haggard breath as he slowly looks down at the shaft of an arrow buried deep within his chest before slumping backwards into the wall, his eyes blinking no more.

((IRON FIST, you are up, after which you may nominate VERMIN or THE MOB!))

[Samurai]

Apparently unaware of any wound, without sign of pain or even discomfort, Iron Fist completes the rotation he began unconsciously with a swing of the baton previously held half-forgotten, now aimed precisely at Vermin's temple. The attack following no prescribed form of K'un L'un, and certainly doesn't show off the Living Weapon's exquisite technique -- but it's executed by a man with barely controlled fury in his eyes.

((Buddy d10, Hero, hirable or otherwise d4 +1PP as above, Enhanced speed d8, Combat master d10 + Table-leg tonfa d10 stepped up to 1d12 with Chi Focus SFX: 6, 2, 7, 8 -- total 15, d10 effect. Vermin to act.))

[Rip]

((Vermin's Reaction to Table-Fu = Solo d8, Cannibal d8, Superhuman Speed d10, Acrobatic Expert d8, Iron Fist's Physical Stress d8 - 7, 2, 4, 6, 4 for Total 13, Effect d10. Vermin takes d10 Physical Stress, his first hit of the game!))

The chaos was getting to Vermin, the Rat chromosomes in his brain skittering in every direction it seemed; he couldn't keep the smell of Iron Fist's blood out of his nostrils, even as something dim and dark in the back of his mind told him that Mandrill wasn't going to make it out of this...what would monkey-man-meat taste like...? Too late he saw that his current prey still had some fight in him, and as unfocused as the Living Weapon was, it was all the last-second scurrying Vermin could muster to avoid having his skull split, leaving him to settle for a near concussion!

((Vermin takes his Action to add a d10 to the Doom Pool, representing him using his Super Speed to attempt to Escape!))

That hit was all it took to knock the fear back into Vermin. Shaking the cobwebs from his rodent mind and some blood from his scalp, the ratlike cannibal flips over onto his stomach and begins scrabbling for the doorway..!

((Vermin nominates The Mob to act next!

The Mob finally gets its shit together and piles on Hawkeye! Team 3d10, Dangerous d8, Swarm d8 - 7, 1, 9, 2, 5 - Total 16, Effect d8 Physical Stress!

Doom Pool is at 5d6, 1d10. Vermin is attempting to Escape, and will do so if he successfully spends his Effects in that direction two more times, but he's at d10 Physical Stress. The Mob is untouched.

We need a Reaction from Hawkeye, and then Hawkeye is also nominated to start the next round!))

((Quick note/rule reminder even though I think it's already come up before: although you can't apply multiple Effect dice as Physical Stress to the same single target, Mobs are the exception, as you are technically targeting multiple people. Therefore, keep in mind that spending PP to take extra Effect dice would absolutely work on removing multiple Mob dice, and the SFX "Area Attack" basically lets you accomplish this without spending Points.))
