Uh...that...hurt...a bit...

At least you're not Annihilus.

Uh, Doc, you okay? Moondragon, I think Doc needs a medic!

I will aid him shortly, but you must defend him before I arrive! Use your ice powers.

*Bobby decides to throw an sharp ice projectile at Blastaar's eye. This is something he's never really done before, so it may take something that of a rolling a 12 on two six sided dice (Herolympic humor ).

Attack: 7

Roll: 6 and 5 (well it's not a critical... )

Hit: 18 for 2 damage total on Blastaar using RCE.*

*Bobby blindly throws the sharp ice "dagger" in the general direction of Blastaar. He cowers.*

Ice Man: Did I hit him, did I hit him, did I hit him?

Hellcat, ready a defense by Samson, back him up, I'll be there shortly!

Gotcha' boss!

*Ice Man shoots, Hellcat moves to S6 with leap climb, Samson clears, and Moondragon clears*

Joey rolls for breakaway, gets a six. He'll just move to Q-4.

Moony! I can't hold him for long!

Oh for Adam Warlock's sake will you please stop calling me that? I shall aid you now! Come and face the one that shall put you down, Monkey Boy!

That word is hurtful to me, at least you could call me Mr. No-poop.

*Moondragon moves 8 spaces from space U17 to space R9 in front of Bobby Drake*

You thought you could run away from me, villain, but you thought wrong!

*Doc Samson moves from space R6 to R3 using leap/climb if necessary*

Alright miss Moondragon! You show Mr. No-poop what you're made of!

What are you, 6?

Run away from you? It is you that will run in terror away from me! With a roar, Blastaar unleashed an energy beam at Moondragon.

It's 8 to 17, a low-odds roll plus SS, but I've got to try it. Gets a 7, miss.

As the little one said, 'Carp.'

*Blastaar should have only 3 clicks in, Bobby has a 0 damage with RCE-that would mean only 1 after B's toughness. However, you hit a 16 which still means you missed... *

I'm here to help you, Moony! Defenders Assemble!

I'm going to have to talk to Dr. Strange to see about dropping you from the team.

Guys! Wait up!

*Ice Man moves to square R8, Hellcat moves to square S9, Moondragon and Doc Samson clear*

Joey will have to try to breakaway again. He makes it again, and, let's go to M-8.

Alright you monkey curr, taste the wrath of a bald woman!

*Moondragon reaches out with her mind to try and TK blast Blastaar.

Attack: 10
Roll: 5 and 4
Attack Roll: 19

If that is successful, then that will be 2 damage (1 after toughness) on Blastaar.*

Where do you think you're going. It's certainly not away from me!

*Doc Samson uses leap climb to leap right behind Joey at space L9-when he peers into the large cylindric container he sees the thing they've been searching for, the Silver Surfer!*

Oh, so that's what he looks like...

Blastaar will attack Iceman, 8 to 15 for three, almost KOing him. Gets a six.

Curse you, frozen boy! Had you not been hiding behind my heavy-duty Negatize Zone Crates(TM), I would have hit you!

The time limit's up, so this game is officially over. All in all, I'd say you won, but I notice you didn't even attempt to free the Surfer. Did you think you'd have time to rout the villains first, or did you just forget about that element of the scenario?
I'm gonna try to think of a way to work this into the second issue.

I really thought I could handle the villains first, I forgot about object tokens, and BrendanBrown only posted twice a day or so.

A way you can work it through is that Strange had to pull us out because a more important event happened. Strange is pissed and this would draw some in team problems-since Strange has to put down Blastaar, lead the team, free the Surfer, and get there and back himself.

eh, good game my opponents.

Considering you had the bad guys licked, it would be a shame to pull out now. But then, only the worst kind of emergency would cause Strange to pull them out when they had the upper hand. Hm...I'll think about that. I had other plans, but, as with the X-Men's first issue, I would be a poor GM indeed if I didn't let the events of the fight have some effect on what happens next. We'll see.

Should I count out TXP, TAP, IAP, and IXP?

TAP=16

TXP=3.2

I think I'll stick with this squad for now, Doctor Strange is a little pissed he had to do everything by himself so he wants to brood by himself and let the Defenders do all the work...

Though I'll drop Hellcat out and put in Daredevil (same cost) so she can lick her wounds.

Your point totals look right, although I'll probably "officially" check it again later. If I'm too lazy to do it, we'll just go with that. Heh.
You know Hellcat doesn't need to lick her wounds. As long as she's not KO'd, she doesn't take any damage. Or were you just switching her out to get DD some experience?
Oh, by the way, if or when WakandaMan does his Marvel Knights team, he'll have every right to steal (buy) DD from you. I don't know if he will, but he's able to. I can't say I'd blame him, either; Ol' Hornhead kinda seems like he'd fit better over there.
Anyway, WM might not even do that. We'll just have to wait and see.

hmmm...I thought the characters go in with their wounds or something.

Oh well, Daredevil will get experience and unless I'm playing the ultimates I should be fine.

Mmm....Daredevil...

I was actually thinking of having him as the first person in my 'queue'. Wouldn't I need to pay the Prof for him in TXP? If so, it'll probably take a while to build up that many.

Characters only go into the next battle wounded if they have been KOed. In that case they start the next round with as many clicks of damage as they got hit past the KO. Normal clicks of damage are reset to full.
