Desmo was still down for the count.
"Thank you Zatarra," said Bart. "Mr. Spectre, let the law lock up these creeps. Now let's rescue Hobbes for the Captain."

Hourman wondering how the police suddenly showed up and then makes a sudden guess. Hourman experienced illusions and parlor tricks back in his last adventure. Wondering if Zatarra knows this " dime store" magic too. Hour-man takes a second and tries to disbelieve the officers are there. Then he springs into action and instead of his second power he requested to us and switches to " race the train" so his speed to catch up to hobbes before the bad guys try to use him as a hostage
(ooc Bart is a federal agent yes?)

Bart suddenly realized what happened. And went into action to disarm and tie up the assassins.

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Bart Regan, Zatara, and Spectre) Sunday, May 7 1940 Appleton City Greenwood Cemetery Catacombs 8:38 pm
((Bart Regan is a spy who works for U.S. Military Intelligence.))
Hour-Man touched the nearest policeman, while disbelieving, and his hand went right through the officer.
He had been careful to make sure their prisoners did not see that, but Bart did and Bart suddenly realized what happened.
As Bart began tying up the first of the two prisoners, he noticed the prisoner wasn't just worried about the police, but was glancing nervously past them at the entrance to the chamber...
Hour-Man zoomed across the room and tore the gag off of Hobbs.
"It's a trap!" Hobbs shouted.
Just then, a section of sliding wall began to fall from the ceiling, blocking the exit!

Hourman moves into action to free hobbs. He then activates his raise the car power and zips to to the wall and see if he can get leverage to lift it. Unless he can wreck it

Bart grabs to two assassins by the scruff of their shirts.
"What going on?" said Bart. "You two, better find a way out safe for all of us or I'll see to it you never leave!"

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Bart Regan, Zatara, and Spectre) Sunday, May 7 1940 Appleton City Greenwood Cemetery Catacombs 8:40 pm
Hour-Man shattered the chains holding Hobbs.
Bart Regan threatened the prisoners.
They said: "It's too late! We're all doomed now!"
There was a second component to the trap - gas! There was a strange, perfumed odor to it.
((Everyone made their saving throws!))
Hour-Man moved over and lifted the sliding section of wall. There was light in the previous chamber now and everyone could hear soft shoes moving over the concrete floor.

Bart aware of the fact they may be prisoners by whoever is coming leaned down to check if Desmo was still alive.

Hourman says " i am not going to hold this for long, Spectre, Zatara and bart get them out of her back to the hallway. If either of you can heal with your magic Desmo to get him conscious great. Any of you know a spell to get us out of here quicker"
Hourman continues to hold the wall if it still trying to shut them and push it back to where it came from

Bart ordered the assassins to help him carry Desmo dead or alive, while Spectre and Zatara made their way out.

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Bart Regan, Zatara, and Spectre) Sunday, May 7 1940 Appleton City Greenwood Cemetery Catacombs 8:41 pm
Captain Desmo had only been stunned and was revived by some slaps from Zatara ((CD recovers to 5 hp)).
Bart Regan's commanding voice made the prisoners cowtow and they helped the groggy Captain Desmo to his feet, despite their standing orders to kill him on sight.
As Hour-Man held up the wall, Bart, Zatara, and the Spectre came under the wall back into the crypt chamber, with the two assassins and Captain Desmo between them coming up behind.
In the hectic scramble to help Captain Desmo up and escape the gas trap, Zatara had stopped concentrating on his spell and his "policemen" had vanished.
The crypt was bathed in electric light now. Five assassins, dressed in Mongolian traditional garb and carrying sabers in hand, stood in a half-circle in front of them, facing the Heroes.
Behind them, Genghis Akhim, wearing a black suit and turban, stood at a previously concealed wall panel where control switches were located.
"I do not know how you foiled my trap," Genghis Akhim said, "but I appreciate you bringing him out to me so I can watch him die in person. Assassins - kill!"
The two prisoners were still unarmed, but were no longer prisoners and enemy combatants again. The Heroes were outnumbered. Would they survive this final battle...?

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Bart Regan, Zatara, and Spectre) Sunday, May 7 1940 Appleton City Greenwood Cemetery Catacombs 8:42 pm
Hour-Man pushed the sliding wall back up, then tucked and rolled under it into the crypt chamber before the wall could slide back down behind him. No one was still trapped in the trap room.
Captain Desmo woke up and looked around, unsure of what had happened, but immediately recognizing Genghis Akhim.
Bart, Zatara, and the Spectre took the brunt of the assassins' attacks. Bart got cut by a sword ((2 dmg)), Zatara gamely dodged two swordsmen, and only one assassin dared attack the Spectre, but was so shaky he couldn't hit either.
The two ex-prisoners turned their fists on Captain Desmo, but he was revived enough to block their clumsy jabs.
Bart grabbed one of the two swordsmen attacking him and Judo threw him into his other opponent ((2 dmg to each of them)).
Zatara managed to get his Magic Missile spell cast and targetted one of his two attackers at point blank range - and still just missed. The missile went way past, then shot back to Zatara's side for another attempt.
The Spectre cast Bless - granting its effects to Hour-Man.

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Bart Regan, Zatara, and Spectre) Sunday, May 7 1940 Appleton City Greenwood Cemetery Catacombs 8:43 pm
Hour-Man came up to the closest assassins and tried too belt one of the two bullying Captain Desmo. It was a glancing, non-knckout punch ((4 dmg)).
Captain Desmo wasn't able to grab both of their heads, so he did the next best thing - grabbed one and headbutted it. It almost hurt him as much as it hurt the assassin ((0 dmg to CD and 1 pt of dmg to the bad guy)).
The assassins seemed quicker to act again.
Hour-Man was punched back twice but didn't feel it ((3 dmg total - taking away his Get Tough bonus, leaving him at 4 hp again)), while Captain Desmo blocked the attacks on him. ((Everyone in that section of combat got double attacks because of being unarmed.))
A little further into the chamber, Bart watched his opponents recover, but while doing so produced a sap in one hand and a switchblade in the other to defend himself with. So armed, he fended them both off!
Zatara too was holding off his foes, they braced themselves every time Zatara appeared to be about to cast a spell on them.
Genghis Akhim produced a wickedly curved dagger and joined the battle against the Spectre - who also held off two attackers!
((TERRIBLE rolls almost uniformly for everyone this turn...))
