Keeping track of numbers has become tedious. I'll try to fix things up later, but now I'm too concerned this game dying out to worry about trivial details such as what time is it and whether or not the characters are technically still alive. And since Spiderman is the only player to respond with an actual attack, the rest of you get assigned attack at my discretion.
Pikachu earns a gold star.
Battle!
Round - whatever, it's the level 4 soldier at 120 feet.
Pete drives at the soldier with his web saber. He fails to hit.
The soldier cuts back, hitting Pete again in the (cephalo)thorax for 1 life and 2 comfort.
Ward attempts to smack the soldier in the back of the head. He misses badly and looks ready to fall, but grabs the soldier's ankle in time to stay in the tree.
Just then, Pikachu unleashes an Energy Ball. The action of Ward grabbing the soldier's ankle causes the soldier to swerve and the ball flies past, thumping into the trunk of the tree. The entire tree shakes and Ward and the soldier, already wobbly and perched together in a precarious position, lose their grips and fall down out of the tree. Ward hits 7 branches on the way down. The foot soldier hits 6.
A foot powder bomb comes falling down from above, aimed at Pikachu. It flies astray, landing on a nearby tree branch, covering it with the chalky white powder.
