I should run away until turn 15 and win on points

Actions:
1.) Ares will again attempt to hit Ghost Widow with BCF. 10 on an 18, needs an 8. Rolls a 3,6=9, hit! BCF is a 4! ahhh so close! Ares takes the Arachnos Kickback to put him at (3/8) Ghost Widow at (1/5). Willpower to ignore the push. SA to Ares.

Herc must clear.

Heh, I'd think Herc might have a difficult time getting away, but hey, you got Belladonna knocked off of poison so it's still possible

Arachnos: Turn 10

1) "Poor children, need Mother to tell you how to do everything for you..." Shalice shakes her head, laughs madly and twirls a finger again, pulling Scirocco to E16 with another telekinetic tug

2) "Yes... the interference is clearing... pieces are... falling into place" Kalinda begins to wake from her stupor, moving to F17

3) "Now... *Prince of Olympus* let us see how well your mace fares against the Sword of Scirocco!" Scirocco swings his enchanted blade at the Prince of Power! 11 atk. vs 16 def. Needs a 5. Roll is: (2,5) for a 7 and a hit! (won't complain about that none!) Blades roll for Scirocco is: 2! I'll risk the gamble and PC that with Kalinda. Second roll is: 5! (Every moment until the roll showed up, I was dead sure it was going to turn up a "1" ) Hercules takes 4 after toughness and is KO'ed! 1 SA and 1 KO for Scirocco and 1 AST each for Mayhem and Kalinda.

Despite the grievous injuries he's suffered at the fangs of Mako, the embrace of the Widow and the cruel, mental manipulations of Mayhem, Hercules still manages to put up a truly Herculean effort, holding off Scirocco's expert thrusts and cuts for far longer than anyone had any right to expect. However, in the end the odds are simply stacked too high against him and with a masterful feint the sorcerous swordsman finally manages to slip his blade past Hercules' guard, burying it deep in his barrel-like chest! Not even this is enough to put the Lion of Olympus down for the count, though, until Kalinda interjects her softly whispered wisdom. "He is stronger than even you would suspect. Strike him with your full power... now!"

Scirocco hears and obeys without question, channelling all of his Mu Magic through his blade and directly into Hercules' divine blood, shocking the Prince of Power from the inside with such force that even Hercules cannot stand against it and falls unconscious and smouldering to the ground.

1) "Poor deluded Dog of War" Widow's discorporated voice echoes through the pixel-maze with a hollow ring "Even you cannot destroy me... only delay the inevitable" the disrupted ghost phases to G18

Ares cleared last turn so he should only have one token currently

Arachnos: Turn 12

1) "Children who won't listen to Mother... will have to be taught!" Mother Mayhem frowns, mad psychic fire burning behind the eyes of her stolen body as she unleashes the power raging within her in a telekinetic storm, hurling the pixelated scenery at Ares! Mother Mayhem TKs the HO in F15 at Ares. 9 atk. vs 17 def. Needs an 8. Roll is: (5,2) for a 7 and just barely a miss! Kalinda will try to fix that with her PC, second roll is: (2,5) for another 7 and another miss as Ares bats the incoming object aside!

2) Scirocco slides over to G16 and raises a protective veil of obfuscating magic, safeguarding himself and his Pale Light in the Darkness behind the Shield of Serafina

3) "The end approaches fast" Kalinda cryptically states, warping to J14

Widow clears. Kalinda will *only* PC an attack by Ares if the hit would KO his target

I was hoping for one more SA, or a KO from Ghost Widow but it just isn't meant to be :/

Sorry, It's not that I wouldn't like to feed you the Widow, but if you got her, you'd be ahead again, and it's possible that I'd fail to bring down Ares before the game ends, and I'd hate to take a loss like that

Arachnos: Turn 13

free) "Even in this strange world, the bonds that keep me prisoner are stronger than death..." Widow muses on her fate as her spirit form begins to manifest anew. Widow rolls to regenerate. Roll is: 3 and she heals a single click

Everyone else clears

God Squad: Turn 14

Ares has to clear

Arachnos: Turn 14

1) "Your strength and skill is impressive, God of War, but in the end even you must fall before us!" Scirocco states as he drops the Shield of Serafina long enough to fire a crackling bolt of energy at Ares. Scirocco shoots Ares. 11 atk. vs 17 def. Needs a 6. Roll is: (1,2) for a 3 and a total miss!

2) "Mother's had enough of your misbehaving!" Praetor Tillman frowns, unleashing a deadly psionic attack. Mayhem shoots Ares. 9 atk. vs 17 def. Needs an 8. Roll is: (3,2) for a 5 and a miss!

3) "Your fate has been preordained, you cannot stand against it!" Kalinda can clearly not believe her eyes as Ares shrugs off everything her companions can throw at him, unleashing a punishing psychic bolt of her own! Kalinda shoots Ares with Psychic Blast. 9 atk. vs 17 (+1 from terrain) def. Needs a 9. Roll is: (5,6) for an 11 and a hit! Ares takes 2 penetrating damage! 1 SA to Kalinda and I breathe a considerable sigh of relief as right up until this point, you could still actually win the match with your last attack as long as you had rolled doubles (as the knockback from a RCE hit would have KO'ed either Mayhem or Kalinda, giving you the win if I failed to drop you with the remaining two on my last turn)

Where brute force has failed, Kalinda's insidious, unseen power succeeds, trapping the vulnerable mind of the weakened God of War in an agonising vice of pure, burning pain and suffering. Yet even pushed to this extreme, far beyond the endurance of any mortal, the Host-Breaker staggers, stumbles... but refuses to fall!

4) "Now... Eternal Warrior" Ghost Widow's voice calls out from beyond the grave, sounding oddly soft and enticing "Your time has come at last.... lay down your bloody sword and follow me... into the dark." In a flash of ice cold death-light the weak and barely visible manifestation of the Widow appears close to Ares hand outstretched towards him in a beckoning gesture. Widow teleports to I15 and takes one from the push

Kalinda will PC any *MISS* against Ghost Widow and will *only* PC a successful attack against anyone else if it's a critical hit!

There you are, the Widow on as much as a silver platter as I dare offer her (I know she'd be easier to hit if she'd moved in close, but then you could still actually win if I missed with everything next turn!)

You knowwww... I could move adjacent to Ghost Widow, hope for a bunch of misses on your next turn and then turn 15 I could try to attack and kill ghost widow then if you miss again on your turn I win! lol Not gonna do that though.. Thanks for giving me the SA and KO and Dang good game!

Actions:
1.) Ares makes a ranged combat attack targeting ghost widow. 9 on a 15(+1) Needs a 7 to hit. Rolls a 1,1=crit miss.. wow. Kalinda probs (thank you) new roll is 3,6=9 for a hit and KO. The kickback from Arachnos KOs Ares and you win. KO and SA to Ares. AST to Kalinda? lol

Ares, the God of War, valliant until the end. He knew that the dark weakling would send her choking mist as soon as she fell, but it was of no consequence. She would fall. If it was the last thing he did, she would fall! Ares, beaten and drained, turned his sights on the ghostly woman and fired, but his aim was off and the shot went astray. Something shimmered in the air around him and he heard a small whisper, "God of War.. you shall.. not fall alone.. I.. respect you." Ares stood again with Ghost Widow in his sights. He dropped to one knee and braced his rifle for the shot. "You die now foul ghost!" Ares pulled the trigger and slug after slug tore through Ghost Widow's incorporeal form. The dark mists followed the bullet path back to Ares and before he could move away he was enveloped in the choking fog, "So this.. is.. the end." And the mighty Ares, God of War, fell.

Great fight, and a fitting last stand for the God of War! Also, really glad I could help you avoid that final injury, though sadly I don't think there are any stats to be had for helping others KO your own team!

Also, Ghost Widow is totally being robbed by the league's stat system, she was by far the most critical and instrumental part of my victory, yet all she gets to show for it is a single KO stat she only gets because Ares knocked himself out on her!

Yeah, that penetrating poison was what really did me in. With the stupid Arachnos/Mystics of course...

Oh, and I'm glad you were allowed to switch teams. This was a far more fun match than it would have been to just stand around looking at the immobile Galactus for 15 rounds!
