"Y'know, Halloween tricks and gimmicky weapons're no match for a good, well placed punch," Wildcat said, appearing in front of the Green Goblin.

"Where did you come from?" the Goblin demanded to know.

"Y'know, I'm not sure how I got here, but since I'm here, looks like you guys have a good ruckus going on here, and I'm not about to miss that."

"Some handsome men have souls of fiends, some monstrous ones have souls of saints. but from what I've seen my furry foe, the latter type you ain't." the Demon said, swiping at him with his claws.

"Your poetry is as execrable as your fighting style, Demon," the Dark Beast said, easily blocking his attack.

"Tsaeb nrub!" Zatanna chanted and a blast of flames leapt from her fingertips. The Dark Beast leapt over the flames.

"Again, your attempts are pretty pathetic," Dark Beast said.

"And your overconfidence will be your downfall," Dr. Fate said, tagging him with a mystical bolt.

Sigh. I never seem to get much out of the Dark Beast. That last hit was a ko. Goblin doesn't look to last very long either.

Character roll: 4, Grim Reaper. Event roll: 5. Mind control. Nice, let's see if he can use it.

Before I do that, Reaper's wastes his perplex for Mephisto. Mephisto targets Batman. Anything but a critical miss will do to ko him. Rolls 4. Batman's out. Mephisto outwits Wildcat's toughness.

Reaper tries to mc Wildcat. Needs 7, rolls 2. Great. Reaper at least gets to attack. Needs 7, rolls 7. 2 to Wildcat.

Enter Skullbuster in D.B.'s spot. Automatically she's stealthed. She'll attack Wildcat. Needs 5, rolls 5. 3 more to him.

"Reaper, Wildcat is upon us," Mephisto says, "Best we deal with him."

The Grim Reaper's turns to Mephisto. He's obviously not of his right mind. He turns his scythe upon Batman and knocks him out.

"But Batman is certainly an option as well," Mephisto replies.

"Wildcat, you're a real hero. It's a pleasure doing this to you," Skullbuster says as she blasts her.

Wildcat rolls with the gunblast. "Good try, kid, but a guy with 9 lives don't go down so easy. Next time it's my turn."

I'll replace Batman with Dr. Strange, Force Field on him too.

Random target #6 - Wildcat. Roll: 1 - Slamming Door, behind him in L9/10. Again, probably not a big deal.

Strange's position's a bit precarious. I'll Phase him to L14

Wildcat pushes to finish the Goblin, AV10 on DV13. Gets a 5. He's down.

"Dr. Fate," Dr. Strange said, levitating into the room.

"Stephen, what brings you to our dimension?" Dr. Fate said.

"I am unsure as yet, but I sense it is something about this house."

"That's a highly plausible explanation," Zatanna said. "Being a nexus and all."

"Are you guys going to have tea and cookies over there or fight?" Wildcat asked, knocking the Green Goblin down for the count.

Character roll: 5 Mephisto, Event roll: 1. We seem to get a lot of the same rolls. Does me no good, though.

Enter Morbius at L8 w/lucky break. Needs 5 to hit Wildcat, rolls 9. 2 to W/C after toughness.

Psimon to L6.

Grim Reaper to K6.

"Now we get vampires? Why am I not surprised?" Wildcat jokes.

"I am called Morbius and I am more than the typical vampire," he replies as he tosses Wildcat into the wall with super-strength.

Wildcat feels the pain, "I see what ya mean."

Agreed, this game should be a pretty high priority as well.

Character roll is 4 - Mento. Event is 6. Lights out.

Demon on Skullbuster. AV10 on DV16. Gets 8. Skullbuster takes 3 after Toughness.

With the lights out Fate can't target Skullbuster. Instead Mento TKs him to K10

Fate will then attack Skullbuster in Close Combat. AV9 on DV14. Rolls a 10. SKullbuster takes 2 more, since I can't use my Psychic Blast.

The Demon was obviously enjoying himself. The cyborg Skullbuster was no match for his mystic might, as he tore into her, tearing off robotic parts with glee.

"I am here to aid you," Dr. Fate said, with a touch sending an electric charge through Skullbuster's body.

"Not to be ungrateful, but it really didn't matter," the Demon began. "You could have helped out someone else, 'cause after all, I had 'er."

Character roll: 1. Catwoman. Event roll: 6. Everybody's stealthed. (Hmmmm....isn't that a bit like you're last turn with lights out?).

I'm liking this game. You'd think it would be easier than most: less characters, more claustrophobic...but I'm definitely not yet getting the hang of it.

Don't forget to show Fate's new position in your recap.

Mephisto phases to J9. He'll outwit Fate's defend, making him no longer eligible for force field.

Skullbuster on Fate. Mephisto cont-plans her attack to 10. Needs 7, twice, rolls 5.

Catwoman to O6, stealthed.

Just about an uneventful a turn as one could get.

"Well played, mage," Skullbuster says, "But I've got a big, brutal machine-gun that says you won't get a chance to do that again." Bullets fly close by the Justice Society member. Each bullet disintegrates within an inch of him, however.

"Perhaps you do not understand the concept of 'mage', Skullbuster," Dr. Fate says fecitiously.

Skullbuster begins a run of cuss words so foul, even her allies become uncomfortable.

I'm glad you're liking the game, even if you haven't quite got the hang of it. In retrospect I may have gone back and redone some of the ramdom events to have more of an effect, but oh well. Plowing ahead. Character roll is 6. Wildcat. Random happening is 1: Door slams. This is happening an awful lot and really isn't having nearly as much effect on things as I was hoping. Generally, it's really been a non-event.

Wildcat on Morbius, AV9 on DV16. Gets 9. Super Senses is 4. Morbius takes 3 after Toughness.

Strange will Blast away the wall between J9 and J10, completely opening up the two rooms now (when that door behind Wildcat doesn't close which is contsantly).

Strange Perplexes Zatanna's Damage. Wand of Watoomb roll is a 6, so it's Perplexes by 2, up to 4.

Zatanna attacks Mephisto, AV10 on DV15 +1. Gets 8. Super Senses is 1. Mephisto takes 4. Zatanna takes 1 for the Mystical backlash.

"The Eye of Agamotto shows where our true foe lies," Dr. Strange said and cast a spell that disintegrated part of the wall separating the two rooms. "Behold, Mephisto!"

"Otsihpem ekirts, gninthgil fo tlob!!" Zatanna called out. Lightning leapt from her hands, striking Mephisto, who screamed in rage.

"I find your method of spellcasting fascinating, speaking the words backwards," Dr. Strange observed with clinical interest.

"It was my father's method. It really helps you to focus," Zatanna started to explain.

"Not to be picky, but could we hold the seminar later?" Wildcat said, fighting off Morbius. "Thing's are a little heavy right now."

Ouch, you're slaughtering me here. At least it seems so. Did I say I LIKED this game?

Don't forget Fate is in K10.

Character roll: 2. Psimon. Event roll: 1. Another non-event. That would be the only thing I'd change as well. The map is perfectly eerie for this but some of the event rolls are meh. Who would've known?

Morbius vs. Wildcat. Needs 7, rolls 5. I can't seem to even get the meagerest of hits here.

Psimon tks Grim Reaper to K8.

Reaper on Wildcat. Needs 6, rolls 5. Unbelievable.

Alright then, Mephisto is dead meat if I don't push. He'll roll to regen: 6. Nice SOMETHING works out this turn, even if it only heals him a net of 3. He'll outwit Fate's pc.

You know I didn't really think out how this would play out with the event and map. I wonder if I can turn it around before it's too late...

"Another strike at Mephisto, Zatanna...while you have the chance," Dr. Strange warns.

"Otsihpem ekitrs gnintgnil!" she commands. It tears Mephisto in two.

"Done, Doctor," Zatanna replies.

"Not so fast," Mephisto claims as he pulls together both halves of his body. "I am a demon. Do you truly think I'd die THAT easily? Are you a newbie witch, then?".
