I feel like you did more of the heavy lifting (i.e. actually administering more damage and delivering the KO blow) than my heroes did... I propose: The WCAvengers get 240 TAPs for the KOs and the Defenders get 266.

We get the IAPs and TAPs for the KOs of Hellcat and Tigra, right?...

I am ok either way. Would have been a nightmare without a team effort I think. I was assuming we get the Hellcat Tigra KO points, we did have to put those filthy women down! I will start working on my updated points.

Sersi’s face was tightened into a vengeful frown. She recalled the arrival of the darkness of Apep from the land of the pharaohs. He had warped the beauty of the deep forests, and his writhing swarms of serpents had driven out the nymphs and the light from the once-lovely woods.

The local herdsmen and farmers had come to call him Apophis, and his evil had only grown. Only with great exertions had the gods of light – coming together in a moment of desperation and working in concert – been able to subdue Apophis and his serpent minions millennia ago. Sersi had no desire to see any part of the world tainted by such an abomination again. As she approached the altar, she gestured and enveloped it in powerful destructive energies.

The heavy black obsidian of the altar almost seemed to writhe under Sersi’s assault. The blood stains of ancient sacrifices steamed, evaporating and sublimating. Like a drop of water dropped onto a smithy’s red-hot ingot, the altar hissed and groaned. “Apophis struggles against his fetters,” Sersi cried. “He must not be allowed to escape.”

Namor, wielding his newly found and awesome sword, rushed toward the altar, as well. He could feel the sword’s exquisite balance and timeless craftsmanship in his hand, even though he seldom used such weapons. It felt right, somehow, to make use of this sword against Apophis, as the evil serpent-god attempted to break free and return to the mortal plane.

Sersi’s Eternal energies crackled and blitzed around the altar; Namor rose his arm high and brought the incomparable blade down in a fearsome arc onto the black obsidian of the altar. In concert with Sersi's powers, Namor's mighty blow rendered the altar asunder, and it broke with a clap of thunder that reverberated through the Atlantean catacombs. The shockwaves brought more debris and dust down from the ancient ceilings onto the heroes’ heads and shoulders.

The Avengers and the Defenders fell quiet, considering the sacrifices and losses suffered to make this victory possible. Behind them, they heard a sigh.

It came from Hellcat, who still lay unconscious on the catacomb floor. A shadow seemed to form behind Hellcat and it cursed at the heroes. “You have accomplished nothing by destroying that stone,” Kulan-Gath spat bitterly. “This is merely a minor setback for Apophis, lord of darkness and serpents!”

The ghost-like form of Kulan-Gath approached the assembled heroes. The sorcerer had given up his control of Hellcat’s body, but his malice remained undiminished. He cried, “A curse upon you and your progeny!” One of Kulan-Gath’s hands went to his almost-transparent brow, where the Serpent Crown could be seen. “Your lands shall suffer for this ignominy!”

The heroes felt the ground shudder, and more pebbles and dust fell from the catacomb ceiling. Kulan-Gath released a hoarse laugh that echoed through the dark tunnels. Then the shadowy form of Kulan-Gath appeared to lose its coherence, and wisps of dusts rose toward the ceiling and seeped into the cracks in the stone.

“He’s escaping,” Scarlet Witch gasped. “How can we stop him?”

“No,” Namor exclaimed, “it is worse than that. It was the sorcerer’s power that raised Atlantis above the waves in the first place. He wiped out Nova Roma, corrupted my officers, attacked my homeland, and caused untold suffering in ages past. Now that his chance to release his foul god has been thwarted, he has released my city. Atlantis is sinking back to the bottom of the ocean.”

WCAvengers point calculations:


from damage dealt:
[12] U Iron Man => 3 IXPs, 0 IAPs
[4] R Scarlet Witch => 1 IXP, 0 IAPs
[8] V Tigra => 2 IXPs, 0 IAPs
[2] LE Marc Spector => 0 IXPs, 2 IAPs
[5] U Sersi => 1 IXP, 1 IAP
[ ] R Vision => 0 IXPs, 0 IAPs

=> 31 TAPs

from KOs:
240 /4 => 60 TAPs

adding the TAPs from damage dealt and from KOs:
=> 91 TAPs, also known as 22 TXPs, 3 TAPs

The Defenders still need to do their IAP calculations from this issue, don't they?...

are my notes for my writing the next issue's introduction dependent upon developments with the Defenders?...
