did you forget the Danger Girl TA roll? ;-)

......and yes it snowed here, again.

Mike, I have no problem with you wanting to change you move.

I don't want to go all 'on the soapbox' about it, I tend to do that in PM's. But I will say that asking to re-do the move is very sporting of you Mike.

Yeah the way alot of us post the recaps that way has evolved over the course of the RPSC(even when I was just watching) was to help with game/RPSC/situations that required exctra info than just a regular game of clix.

I'll PM you both.

DG TA roll...5

You almost made me cry!

Could well be the last turn here...

PScout 2 (in P15) attempt to breakaway > roll: 4 flies to R17
Pscout 3 pushes to breakaway > roll: 1 (&$#^%%&^@#) (i give up)
PScout 3 takes 1 damage

You seem to've forgotten Phoenix's action token; i added it. Also, you forgot to clear PScout 2 and give Pscout 3 a token for the failed breakaway last turn.

Psylocke dispatched her opponent with a psychic knife and then checked on Phoenix. "Do you need a hand?"

Phoenix floated in front of a very distressed flying serpent. She pointed to the creature and with horrible scream the serpent was reduced to ashes that blew away on the breeze. Phoenix looked as Psylocke, and Psylocke took a step back at what she saw burning in those eyes. But then Phoenix closed her eyes and landed, and when the eyes reopened it was just her friend again.

Bishop surveyed the roof, they were all gone. Atleast, that's what the little creature wanted them to think. Without looking, Bishop shot a plasma blast in to a pile of garbage and a tiny serpent man leaped out with a cry of pain. He landed at Psylockes feet, who dispatched him with a sharp kick. Now everything was still on the rooftop.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X-Factor turn 11

Psylocke attacks Scout #2. AV9 vs DV13. Roll is 6+2(8), HIT for 2 damage and the KO.

Phoenix pushes to attack Scout #3. AV10 vs DV13. Roll is 4+2(6), HIT for 5 damage, KO and death :knockedou She'll split the xp with Psylocke.

The rest clear.

Since you're only remaining piece is a Moloid who needs crit to hurt Bishop I'll just take my next move if that's ok. If not I can redo, no biggie.


X-Factor turn 12

Bishop attempts to capture the Moloid. AV8 vs DV13(18). Roll is 2+3(5), no capture but 1 damage.

Psylocke pushes and attempts to capture the Moloid. AV9 vs DV12(16). Roll is 4+2(6), fails to capture but does 2 damage for the KO.

And that's all she wrote.

Thank you for another enjoyable match Mike. Anyone reading through it will agree that it was alot closer than it looks in the round up.
From what DM is hinting at, the next fight is going to be the fight of my life, so fingers crossed I can come through that in one piece. Wish me luck!

I rolled a 5+2=7 for the Moloid's last ditch attempt. If it tried to roll for breakaway, that would just be silly prolongation of the inevitable.

Yes, it was closer this time. Two of your characters would likely have been KOd if they hadn't made their breakaway rolls (Psylocke at the beginning and Havok near the end). It was an enjoyable game; thanks, DKnight.

Still, this is our fourth game in a row where i haven't taken down a single fig of yours and i'm getting tired of it!..... ;-)

Issue Epilogue..........?

As the Dark Figure looked on, he was amused.

These Summers' were of hardy stock. Just as expected. Sett was of no real threat to them. Do you know start ot realize the power of this group?

The imposing figure watched on he nodded.

They are indeed powerful, as you suspected. They were not defeated by Sett but
they were tested by him. I have their measure now.

That is good my champion because you will face them.

I will be ready when the time comes, enslaver.

As the Dark Figure started to laugh the his champion was confused.

You do not understand. That time is now. Before they have time to rest. Before they have time to think. Your 'First' has your troops prepared on the other side of the field they will attack upon your arrival.

The champion was disgusted by this lack of honor in these actions. Battle was a glorious thing but not when it was in an unfair manner.

As you command, my enslaver.

As he turned to leave he could not help but think about how wrong this all felt.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the members of X-Factor looked around they felt satisfied. Val was safe. And that snake thing was dealt with. Just as Alex was about to say 'good job' Lorna came crashing to the ground beside him.

Lorna! What happened.

Lorna looked shaken at first but as her anger started to rise her pupils started to lose their color and all the metal in the area stared to bend.

They knew about me being the back up. This was all part of their plan, Alex.

Just as the reality of the situation was starting to sink in on the group their com-links beeped.

"Um, yeah. Remember how I said Val was clear?"

Alex gritted his teeth. He knew what was coming.

"Yes, Domino."

"I might have said that a little too soon. Can you give me a hand?"

As Bishop was looking around he suddenly noticed how much darker it was. As he looked up he could see many flying forms starting to come in their direction.

"I think we're going to be busy for the next little bit. Guys, look up there."

As the rest of the team caught a glimpse of the flying forms they saw the one form in the lead that dwarfed the others.

Alex keyed his comm, "Domino, we're going to get to you as soon as we can. You have to hold out till then"

There was no answer.............

Forgive my indulgance, but something about the epilogue made me think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Allow me to post some appropriate quotes for the situation:

Raoul Duke: Look... in the sky. Some kind of electric snake coming straight for us.
Dr. Gonzo: Shoot it.
Raoul Duke: No, I want to study its habits.

Raoul Duke: We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like:
Raoul Duke: I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
Raoul Duke: Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming:
Raoul Duke: Holy Jesus. What are these god#### animals?
Dr. Gonzo: Did you say something?
Raoul Duke: Hm? Never mind. It's your turn to drive.
Raoul Duke: No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough.

Raoul Duke: What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country.


There's also a quote about Havok:

Raoul Duke: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.



Hhmm, comments of my own....EEP?

I hope that big shape isn't the Apocalypse Dragon with your custom conversion rules. When I said it was too unbalancing to use on the X-Men I didn't mean use it on me

Well, time to see if X-Factor can earn that government pay. As scary as they seem they've got to fight us, so I reckon we're even Can't wait to see what this horde is!

I'll finish with a final quote:

Raoul Duke: You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.

Well maybe in the future you will learn to be more specific. I can confirm that there will be no conversion rules.........but I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of this 'Apocalypse Dragon' of which you speak.


And they(he? ) can't wait to meet you!!! I hope you enjoy.
