The turn before last smart guy
The dice are hot alright. The early 10's really swung the fight, otherwise as you wittled me I'd have become helpless to hit your DV. After Sue was broken I've only needed like 8's, which is very doable. Keeping them around Sue is like a crapshoot. They don't get great rolls early, they're never hitting you, but I had alot of EE attacks to throw at you, and the massed together tactic backfired. She's annoying as all hell to fight against though. I can see her toned down in the next set to balance the better other 3, but you'll be able to keep the original. Your team is going to strike fear in to villain players, I guarantee.
Still, don't think it's mathematically possible to KO Ben now, so that's good anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Doom clears.

And that was the start of Turn 14 by the way. DOOM can't capture or KO Ben(even with crits and knock-back) and Ben will not be able to get off an attack before the end of the game.


But it was a good game to watch.

Well, I'll assume you just rest Ben through turn 14, and you can't do anything in 15, so I'll do my 15 move and then the round up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Minions of Doom turn 15

Dr. Doom perplexes up his damage by 1. Attacks the Thing. AV9 vs DV16. Roll is 5+4(9), HIT. (Did you ever annoy any kind of demidog or being that's sacred number was 9?) The Thing takes 3 damage after toughness.

Good game, very enjoyable. It could have easily went the other way several times, very well played.

I realise the Thing was beyond KO'ing at the end, but how it ended affected my ending story. Posting it in a few.

On a plus point, Dr. Doom had the sort of intro he deserves. Alot of the major villains were introduced with a fizzle rather than a bang.

Oh, yeah, I forgot all about him. Who would have thought it would come back to bite me in the rear somewhere down the line

Good game to you, also. I went back and checked, after your first hit, none of your attacks was below an 8! Poor Invisible Girl, she goes another round with minimal IAP...

Question before I calculate XP: Are we doing 4:1 on this arc?

Yeah, I have this awful feeling I've got a ton of crit misses coming my way in the X-Factor game

Yes, the new ratios are in effect now.

Anyway, here's a peek of what you'll be doing next story. Should be a might easier to handle, and a lot of fun!

EPILOGUE

Doom’s bombardment was unrelenting, smashing in to Ben again and again, threatening to put him down. He knew if he did he would never get up again.

“Ok ya blasted tin can. You’re no wimp I’ll give ya that, but if ya take me down I’m taking part of ya fancy condo with me,” shouted the Thing. Grabbing a hold on a support pillar and shaking it, he caused cracks to appear in the ceiling, and plaster and dust to rain down.

Doom considered this. “Since you are a monstrous brute, with no more sense of grandeur than a common peasant, I will have to assume you are serious. Very well, if destroying you myself will make such a mess, I’ll just dispose of your friends.”

Doom pressed a hidden button on his throne, and a panel slid away from under the unconscious forms of Reed, Sue and Johnny. A rectangular sheet of light rose from the ground, and as it passed up it left nothing below it.

“What have you done to them ya cockamamie can o’ oil?” demanded the Thing.

“I have used my latest and greatest invention to hurl them through time and space. It is untested, but if my calculations are correct they should be on their way to be destroyed by the big bang. A fitting way to dispose of garbage, don’t you agree monster?” taunted Dr. Doom.

“I’ll be back for you fancy pants, and ya better have more than glorified security guards between you and me when I’m done,” threatened the Thing. Without another word he leaped in to the time platform, Doom’s mocking laughter ringing in his ears.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Reed had been the first to awake, and had quickly awakened the others. His analytical brain had quickly taken in the surroundings and immediately came to a conclusion. Somehow they had traveled through time, to some point in the mid-18th century. Given the contents of the note he had received earlier that day, 1775 seemed like a good guess. He was currently with Sue and Johnny, crouched behind a bush, observing.

“And I tell you Black Dog, we’re asking fer trouble,” complained the pirate.

“And I tell ye, Robert Titch, that the British be offering us a fine reward for our help. We will get a third of the loot from that there fine city when it falls, and a pardon for all past deeds. That be worth the risk mates,” reasoned the Captain.

Titch still wasn’t totally convinced. “I dunno, throwing in all of our fleet to aid the British. Sure enough, if all goes well the rebellion is crushed, and we will be rich, but tis awful risky.”

“Pah. Ye talk to me of risk? Me who’s raised holy hell on every sea on which men sail? We will catch the rebels napping, and slit their throats for em. Then the French will keep their noses out, and we’ll be sittin’ pretty with the King,” countered the Captain. The other shipmates let up a chorus of ‘aye’.

Suddenly there was a loud crash as Ben fell fifteen feet in to the bush, flattening it.

“AAAHHH!” shouted Titch, “Tis the Devil himself, come with his demons to punish us for our wickedness.”

Black Dog laughed. “Tis not the Devil, for he and me have a history. Some kind of Colonial spies, gathered from some kind of traveling freake show by the looks of it. They’ll die just as easy with steel in their bellies.”

His men paused, and the Captain kicked and shouted them in to action. “Up ye sons of fatherless dogs. Kill them, or I shall surely kill ye.”

With some hesitation, they advance on the strange spies…

Just curious... what happens in the (likely) scenario brendan wants to bring in She-Hulk?

Is it ok if I leave Torch out of the next match so he doesn't run the risk of dying? From the sound of things, I'll be facing Pirates, who usually have swords, which would constitute some BCF. Could I start like this?:

[]Mr. Fantastic: (4/5) 48
[]Thing: (7/7) With Rip it up 95
[]Invisible Girl: (4/5) 37

Total: 180

XP for this round:

Mr. Fantastic: 1 IXP, 3 IAP
Thing: 3 IXP, 3 IAP
Invisible Girl: 2 IAP
Human Torch: 1 IXP, 1 IAP

Team:
9 TXP 1 TAP from IAP's,
5 * 15 = 75 / 4 ~ 19. 4 TXP, 3 TAP from KO's.
15 TXP total.

Totals:
Mr. Fantastic: 4 IXP 1 IAP
Invisible Girl: 2 IXP
Thing: 6 IXP 2 IAP
Human Torch: 5 IXP 1 IAP
She-Hulk: 1 IXP 1 IAP

TXP: 132 TAP: 0

I don't mind leaving her out to follow along with the RP, Kasz.

Unless she follows them to Doom's castle, where she is sent back in time after them, then I could switch out Fantastic for her in the above proposed team.

That will be revealed if and when he wants to use her
Suffice to say there is a story opening available for her.


NP Brendan, Johnny is obviously still groggy and unable to Flame On, so he'll sit the fight on.

In that case, consider this my lineup for next issue:

Thing/Rip it up 95
She-Hulk 59<--(She can use RIU also, can't she?)
Invisible Girl 37
Total: 191

So what if I'll suffer from SEVERE lack of mobility and range

Your wish is my command! Reed and Johnny will just hang back from the fight due to their injuries.

"And I'll pull the other half down!" said a strong female voice from behind Doom.

Whirling around he saw the She-Hulk grasping another pillar.

"Suprised Doctor? I insisted that Reed bring me along, but he made me stay in the Pogo plane as back-up. I'm sorry Ben, if I had known what was happening I'd have been in here sooner," explained She-Hulk.

"That's ok Jen, weren't none of us expecting this. Who'da thought this tin plated bozo could bring down the FF Four?" replied the Thing.

Doom considered his position. “Since you are are both monstrous brutes, with no more sense of grandeur than common peasants, I will have to assume you are both serious about damaging this fine Latverian landmark.
Very well, if destroying you myself will make such a mess, I’ll just dispose of your friends.”

Doom pressed a hidden button on his throne, and a panel slid away from under the unconscious forms of Reed, Sue and Johnny. A rectangular sheet of light rose from the ground, and as it passed up it left nothing below it.

Yes, they can both benifit from RIU, it's a team feat not an individual feat...... Large Object is the same thing.
