"I've got Wolverine, someone needs to get Cypher," the Beast said, leading the reinforcements.

"Seriously? That...boy?" Quicksilver asked.

"That boy has one of the most impressive brains I've seen," the Beast said, getting his feet in Wolverine's face.

"Oh I'll get you for this, McCoy," Wolverine said.

"Promises, promises," the Beast said. "You never take me anywhere anymore. And when's the last time you brought me flowers?"

"The Beast says I need to deal with you. I don't know why but whatever," Quicksilver said. Cypher typed quickly into a keyboard control on the wall and restraining tendrils shot out from the floor and caught Quicksilver.

"The Beast knew what he was talking about," Cypher said. Then he faded away.

"This in interesting," Doug said, finding himself on the roof of a dojo with Blink, facing off against Crystal.

"There's two of us and one of you," Blink said.

Crystal summoned up a whirlwind that buffeted the two X-Men, sending them flying off the roof. Blink opened a portal at the last minute went through it and landed all right, but Cypher wasn't so lucky. "I think you miscounted." Crystal said, moving to deal with Blink.

Oh come on, you get Doug in one friggin' turn? It takes me two duels (and he's still not koed) and mystics dinging to Thor and others. This game can be manifestly unfair, you should have to suffer at least a little.

To make matters worse for me, would Crystal take any damage? She quaked, not attacked, so mystics damage wouldn't apply, right?

Beast begins earning traitor tokens immediately. Wolverine heals 1 and attacks Beast. His av becomes Beast's plus 1 or 10. Needs 7, rolls 9. SS is 5.

Siryn to break? 1. Tries to incap Nova. Needs 7, rolls 6. Gonna be a great turn, I can tell.

Enter Psylocke in H23. Still think the AW Vet is best but to be different I'll use the common from GSX. She attacks Pietro. Needs 8, rolls 8. He'd take two or burn protected with one. Assuming the latter.

Storm rs to C19, Colossus in D19, attacking Pietro. Needs 9, rolls 10 ( 2 5s). 4 to Pietro, no kb as Betsy's in the way.

Fantomex vs. Luke Cage. Note: Luke has two damage, the 2nd from post 07/20/2012 12:19. His dv was 9 but it still would've hit. Fantomex needs 12 to hit Cage, rolls 9.

http://www.ianparmenter.com/hcutils2...f1p2=x576y-355

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blink vs. Crystal. Like I said, I don't think Crys should show any damage. Blink also needs a 12 to hit her, also gets 9. In any other turn, those are respectable rolls.

"Your feet are quite fast, Avenger," Psylocke says to Quicksilver, "You're mind, not so much."

"You're elegant and beautiful, X-Man," Quicksilver replies, "And living in a dreamworld."

"Prove it."

Quicksilver charges her but her telekinesis holds him at bay.

"Why I'll.....".

"Try punching through my hold on you? Try leaping away? Your thoughts are fast too, Pietro. Good thing for me I can read them."

She telekinetic tosses him in the air. Colossus catches him. "Quicksilver is an ally of ours. I almost hate to hurt him." He smiles to Pietro, "Almost." Then his fist slams down.

Quake is a close combat action, making an attack that targets more than one figure, but it's still an attack. Crystal should still have 1.

And after the way your Avengers a tromping my X-Men, I apologize for nothing here. I note you still have a 200 point lead in points.

Nova Force Blasts Siryn again into the wall. The 1 damage KOs her.

Firestar to F7 to replace her.

Alright, I hate to pick on Quicksilver, especially since he's just arrived, but he's in my starting area. Colossus charges to G21. Needs 6, rolls 6. Pietro gets a 6 for ss.

Enter GX Rogue. Rip it up. She charges to H22 attacking Pietro. Needs 6, rolls 8. SS is 3. He's out.

Storm to F22 for the block.

Wolverine rolls for traitor tokens: 8. Nothing. I wonder if we should alter the traitor stuff, make it a bit more fun (roll of 1-4 nothing, 5-8 free attack on their opponent, 9-12 free attack on their current team).

Wolfsbane to K2.

Remember Wolfsbane's trait. Not that it will likely matter.

"You are surrounded, Pietro," Colossus says as he reaches for Quicksilver, "You may as well....Boize moi!".

He darts out of Pietro's hands. "That's a miss, Colossus."

Storm generates an instant cyclone in his path. Quicksilver merely runs into the air and stuns Ororo with a full-speed hit.

"I could do this all day," he says easily averting Psylocke's ninja assault as he taunts her by getting close. "What's the matter? Are you mind tricks not helping you when my thoughts are as quick as....".

He's suddenly pulled close and kissed on the lips by Rogue as she absorbs his speed and memory. "Goodness shugah, what a rush. Your world sure moves fast."

Rogue lowers the unconscious body of Quicksilver to the ground. "Ororo! Peter! Betsy! It's like a family reunion. And me without mah camera!".

Beast gets a third traitor token. ROlls 3. Nothing happens. Maybe we should change what happens with those.

US Agent for my replacement. With Damage Shield. From H2 attacks Wolfsbane. AV10 on DV16. Gets 11. SS is 3. Wolfsbane takes 3 and is KOd.

Wanda to K2, blocks her replacement.

Beast on Wolverine, Outwitting his Toughness, AV9 on DV16. Gets 8. 3 to Wolverine.

Arachne Flurries on Wolverine. AV8 on DV16. Gets 9. 2 more to Wolverine. Second attack on DV15 +2. Gets 5.

----------------------------
Luke on Fantomex, AV9 on DV15. Gets 4.

Crystal Tornadoes on Blink, AV10 on DV14. Gets 4. This time that's good enough. Blink's out. Crystal's back to the main game.

"I'll put ye out of commission, witch!" Wolfsbane said, loping towards the Scarlet Witch. Suddenly an object appeared in front of her and she ran right into it. US Agent's shield ricocheted back to his hand.

"The only one out of commission here is you," he told Wolfsbane, stepping over her inert body.

"I get the feeling I missed something," Crystal said, returning to the main fight and seeing the changes.

"Hey Arachne! Catch!" the Beast said, pounding Wolverine back and into one of her webs.

"Neat trick," Wolverine said. "But like I said before, this won't hold me for long, and I'll heal real quick."

"Then we shall just have to finish you most expeditiously, won't we?" the Beast said.

Want to do what I'd suggested for traitor tokens? Or something else? Here's what I wrote: I wonder if we should alter the traitor stuff, make it a bit more fun (roll of 1-4 nothing, 5-8 free attack on their opponent, 9-12 free attack on their current team).

For now Storm rolls for traitor: 8, nothing happens, she can't move anyway nor get a free action.

Wolfsbane's out. Blink's out.

Logan's on his last click, he heals 2. That puts him on a regeneration slot. He'll try that: 5. Not bad, this is kinda what I was hoping for with Joker. He's up 3 more.

I'll draft Xorn, with triage, and the Cuckoos.

Psylocke pulls Colossus to I22.

Xorn pulls Storm to J22.

Mindee and Phoebe roll to exchange a click w/Peter and Ororo. X-ta is 1 for both, both take a click.

"If only we could share peace with these Avengers," Xorn says.

"Are you for real?" the Cuckoo girls ask in unison.

"I am a pacifist by nature," Xorn notes.

"Snoooze," the girls say.

The Cuckoos and Xorn. Swell. Oh well, that's what duels are for. If I take a Cuckoo into a duel, do I have to take them all? I'd guess so.

And yes, we can go with your new traitor thing. DO me a favor, and copy and paste it into the original post, so it'll be easy to find when it comes up.

I don't see a duel coming up this turn though, since I'm pretty much moving only.

"Come on, we're not doing any good up here," Nova said.

"Right behind you," Firestar agreed. "Um," she added looking around, "where are the X-Men? I only see Wolverine."

"Yes, well the rest seem to have vacated the premises," the Beast said, "and Logan here is either too stupid or too ornery..."

"...or both..." Wolverine said.

"...or both," the Beast conceded, "to follow."

Xorn is only really in as a tker. Didn't get to use him yet in my World's Greatest game so I figured here's my chance. I mean it's not like I have figures to heal at this point.

Is it me or is the map site down a lot lately?

So traitor information is corrected in the header, will have to do the same in the first game. Storm's up. Rolls 5, free attack on the closest enemy. Now I never specified how that had to work, as a close combat or not. I think that choice should be character driven. Firestar is the closest. Storm free moves to S14 to attack her. Needs 5 + 1, rolls 10. She's out. That was almost a favor to you.

Rogue to J13 carting Colossus to I13.

Esme carts her sisters to row 16.

Deep inside the building Wolverine finds himself surrounded.

"Four to one? Hardly seems a fair fight," Wolverine notes.

"I know," the Beast says, "But if we wanted to be fair we'd get all eight of us here."

"Touche."

"Besides, I know back up will be just around the corner."

The windows are blown out, the one next to Firestar knocks her into the wall.

"We're being attacked!" Beast yells.

"No kiddin'," Wolverine says. Looking out the window he sees Rogue with Colossus getting in place, the Cuckoos floating together in mid-air and Storm closest to the window.

"Rescue mission time, my friend," Ororo says to him.

"Aw, you shouldn't have."

Yay, I have the map site up! Beast OUtwits WOlverine's Toughness, and attacks him AV9 on DV16. Gets 3.

Arachne FLurries on Wolverine, AV8 on DV16. Gets a 9 for 2 to him. Second attack, now on DV17 +2. Gets 7, which is a miss. Wouldn't be productive to bring her into a duel. She's too close to out.

Scarlet Witch TKs Crystal to Q2

Crystal uses her Tornado Trait to Quake as if in N7. Rolls a 7. Hits Wolverine for 2, plus 1 Penetrating thanks to her Firestorm power. 3 total.

War Machine replaces Firestar. HOT version. Guess I'll Fortitude him. He Double targets Wovlerine and Storm, AV10 on DV15 and DV17 +3. Gets 4. Can't even KO Wolverine with that.

US Agent to J5

May as well push Nova and see if I can't get a good roll and KO WOlverine. Won't even attack. I'll use Force Blast. 2 in 3 chance of rolling high enough to do what I need. And he fails too, with a 2. Knocks Wolverine back to M6, but not far enough to hit the wall and take the damage.

Aaaaand I just lost the map site again, so I can't give you a link.
-----------------------
Don't need the link to have Luke attack Fantomex, AV9 on DV15. ANd he gets a 2. I've been waiting so long to get a turn and this is what I get.
