So Quill can pick it up but will have to push to do it with a move action.

I'm confused why you never used the option to give Gamora Impervious (that works on a 4,5 or 6).

Thanos the Mad Titan Turn 6

The Surfer's answer to Thanos's proposal bounced off the Eternal's chest.

"So be it, Norrin Radd." Thanos shook his head. "And I though you were a scientist before your transformation."

Thanos gave a disparing look at Jazinda. "Last chance to follow your true nature, Skrull. I don't know why you think you are a "hero" or why like I said being Gamora's shielding terrian is your role or not, but I, Thanos of Titan, can offer you much more. I have a weakness for fledgling green-hued girls. Look at what my tender touch has turned Gamora into."

"I...I...don't know what say..." Jazinda began.

"You can give me your answer when you wake up, child." Thanos said as gently as he could.
=======================================================

1) Free Thanos will Outwit Jazinda's Shape Change.

2) Thanos will backhand the Skrull. A 13 to a 16. 5,6=11 for 4 damage Skrull roll is a 2. as whatever Thanos used to keep in stuck in one form, worked for her general Skrullyness as well. As we aren't on space terrian, there is no kb.

I SEIZE IT FOR MY OWN!: Effect tokens can be carried by any character. A token that is not being carried can be picked up as if it is an object. When a character picks up an effect token or carries an effect token at the beginning of your turn, you can choose which one of the numbered options of an effect a character can use; the character can use the chosen option as a free action.
SUCH POWER... TOO MUCH POWER!: Each time one of a player's character uses an option of a Gem Effect, place a power token in front of that player. After that use of the effect resolves, that player rolls 2d6 and adds 1 for each 100 points (or fraction thereof) of the character's point value; if the result is equal to or less than the number of power tokens in front of that player, remove all power tokens and roll a d6: on a result of 1-3 all effect tokens carried by that player's characters are dropped, on a result of 4-6 only the most recently used effect token is dropped. When a character carrying an effect token is successfully hit by an attack and the result of the attack roll is doubles, the character drops the effect token (even if it takes no damage from the attack).
IN SEARCH OF A NEW MASTER: When an effect token is dropped, the effect ends immediately and the token is placed by rolling 1d6. The player whose turn it is next places it in an unoccupied space a number of squares equal to the result away from the character who had it.
GEM EFFECT: SPACE: Choose one: (1) This character, (2) another character, or (3) any standard object, place the choice in any square of unoccupied clear terrain.
GEM EFFECT: POWER: Choose one: (1) Until the beginning of your next turn, this character can use Impervious (but add 1 to the result when rolling the d6, maximum result 6) or (2) this character can modify its damage by +2 (to a maximum damage value of 5) and can use Exploit Weakness or Psychic Blast (as if it had a range of 10).

(I have no idea if this is right for Jazinda, but when you lived as long as Thanos, most everyone else is a flegling by comparision.)

You forgot to make her Skrull roll. <__<

You are correct. I will do that right now.

The Surfer Turn 6c

The Surfer was astonished at how easily Thanos shrugged off his energy blasts. Clearly this being cannot be allowed to gain any of the gems.

SJ, if you want to take a shot at Thanos with Quill, I will use the Space Gem next turn to teleport him out of range so he can't pick it up. However if you choose to pick up the gem instead I will certainly understand.

(You say that like it like I have to choose one or the other. )

*****

Reaching out to grab the small red jewel, Quill quickly tucked it away for safe keeping. He then turned to open fire on Thanos till he had emptied his current gun clips. While the shots went true, by the time he was finished it appeared at though not a one of them had done anything more than make the mad Titan angrier.

"This is ridiculous..." he said to himself, his mind at a loss as to just how they were going to stop him.

Guardians Turn 7
1) Pete will use Running Shot to move to K20 and pick up the Power Gem. He will target both Thanos and Surfer with Galactic Marksman to get +2 to his damage value, attack is 10 vs 16 and 18. Attack roll is 5,4. Quill will direct all the damage at Thanos. Thanos' Impervious roll is 5, so no damage anyway.

Free) Quill will use Power Gem option 1. Since the effect of the power doesn't end till the beginning of my next turn, I'll wait till then to make the power roll.

Jazinda rests.

Hmmm....oh for some reason I didn't think Quill could use RS with his special power. But now I see that he can.

No worries then.

If he couldn't, it wouldn't matter anyway, since Surfer would have been out of range and he wouldn't have had the firepower to get past Thanos' Impervious.

Thanos the Mad Titan Turn 7

"See how easily they form an alliance against me, child?" Thanos said, shrugging off the effects of Quills shots just as easily as he did the Surfer's. " Did you hear "Don't worry, Jazinda, I'll get you out of there!" or "Good news. The Surfer is going to Teleport the Mad Titan across the battlefield so you can get medical attention!"? Because I heard none of those things. Just more enlightened self-interest from those that are supposedly "good". Yet they would happily sacrifice you if it would buy them extra time. What are you really Guarding when you sacrifice your principles to do it, Quill? And you, Surfer why are you here? To keep the Gems out of BOTH of our hands (meaning he will come after your Power gem soon enough Star-Lord)? Who gave you that authority? Then, you are just like me, Norrin Radd. While you may not want to admit it to yourself, the Gems will get to you, start whispering to you, and while you think you are keeping them out of a Madman's hands...you would have failed to realize they are in one. That is your future in you continue along this course."

"So I'm just supposed to surrender them to you?" inquired the Surfer. "A nilist? I think not."

"At least I know what I am, Norrin." Thanos laughed. "And what I'd do with the Power." He looked at the Skrull. "And how to treat my allies. I have all the time in the world if I don't get the Gems here. This locale just gives my the opportunity to obtain two Gems, crush some enemies, and who knows what else..."

You had little hope of pinning down the Surfer before he got the one Gem most suited to him. What hope do you have with him with it by yourself? I extended him a non-aggression pact and I extend you the same."
==================================================================


1) Thanos will hit Jazinda as gently as possible a 12 to a 13(+2). Skrull roll is...1. Maybe she has decided...roll is 1,2=3 for barely a hit as Thanos gives her a tap.
