Cackling wildly, Octoupus goes for Booster again. AV8 on DV14, needs 6. Rolls a 9 and Booster takes 1 more.

"Fly around all you want!" Octopus cackled. "You can't escape me forever!" Indeed, Octopus' persistance seemed to be starting to wear Booster down, desipte the hero having gotten in the first hit.

You keep widdling Booster down. Too bad, I'm really liking writing this game and I'll hate to see this glory-driven, attention-maniac lose. Doc seems to be getting some good rolls. Let's see if Booster can. Need a 9, rolls 7. Merde.

"Oh no," Tammy yells over the loudspeaker, "Another blow for Rooster Gold."

Frustrated he yells, "Booster, darnit, that's Booster!". He attempts another attack on Dr. Octopus but his suit still fails him.

Octopus laughs.

"And all eyes are on Dr. Squi'ds next move," Tammy says.

"Dr. Squid?" Booster says aloud, "BWAH HAH HAH!".

Oh, the Bwah hah hah! Does my heart good to hear that again. Honestly, I'm really kind of rooting for Booster myself here. I keep hoping you'll roll that big number.

Oh well. I'll pass.

Have to pass too. Am I poor sportsmanship to say bad luck to you?

Not at all. Like I said, crazy as it is, I'm rooting for Booster here. AV8 on DV13, needs 5. Gets a 7. Sorry. 1 more click to Booster, and I'm afraid that loses him his toughness.

"Ooh and Dr. Calamari is really taking a toll on Rooster," Tammy continued.

"It's Octopus!" Octavius ranted, channeling his anger at Booster, since he can't get to her. "Not Squid. Not Calamari. Octopus! Octopus!!!"

Argh..Booster attacks Dr Oc and needs a 9, rolls 10 (2 5s). Finally but that only does 1 click, right?

"Hmmmm...maybe we're going about this all wrong, Doc, " Booster says, "I mean what with all this Rooster Gold and Dr. Calamari junk. What say we abandon the crowd and rebel against the ringldeader, those people who have us here?".

Octopus thinks for a second and lowers his arms, "Fair enough hero, let' do it."

"Not a chance, blub-boy," he says and hits him with a sucker punch.

"Score one for Rooster Gold!" he says.

The crowd goes wild.

Booster's taken 4 if my count is right, so his damage is down to 1 He is knocked back to H21, not that that really means anything. And at least you got me down to 1 damage as well (just in time to coincide with your loss of Toughness) and my DV is down 1 more too. And I have to hit you 4 more times before you're out. You only have to hit me twice. And one more lucky roll puts me out of my ESD.

Anyhow, after all that, I pass.

I pass too (this is why I thought we'd be taking turns each round, so much passing).

That is a point. I was thinking that, as in a real game, it adds a dimension of whether it'd be worth pushing to get that extra attack in. But once characters get low on their dials, passing is almost a given. Chalk it up to lessons learned.

Ock attacks. AV8 on DV12 needs 4. Rolls 4. 1 more to Booster.

booster attacks, needs 8, rolls 9. 1 more to doc.

Yay Booster! Now he's got a sporting chance. Without his ESD Ock will be a lot easier to hit, and you only need one more.

I'll pass, since pushing would kill me anyway.
