A fair argument but what I'm trying to say is that King wasn't holding back either. He isn't using hurricane speeds but he's not just some push over grunt level character. The force of his wind should have been sufficient enough for him to at least save that hostage. I'm pulling up his rank because that's just to show that this guy isn't fodder. If you want me to say that he simultaneously pushed back on you with one part of the gale while tugging on his real target, the hostage as the less we have at this point the better for the heroes, I will. Failing that this is a gm verdict because while Aya has already acknowledged it to an extent I also explicitly put that down in my own post. I'd also like to clarify while King won't be able to instant kill you unless he jabs that spear into your heart he isn't going to get wrecked by you either. I don't make a habit of forcing things onto people but making mistakes, or walking into a situation like this put the heroes into a position were they can do things.

You can go all out against King, his apprentice, and the other hero who hasn't shown his face but keep in mind that this will likely bring more heroes which will cause the other team to have issues getting the money away as even though East is a serious problem he won't be able to hold all the attention from every hero.
