Okay gents, I'm going to fill in for Sable. He's had this three strikes and he's outta here!

Okay, just been setting up my map at home and getting everything organised to play. Couple of things:
- SJ, you've got Jazinda and Quill in the same square in your recap. I know Peter thinks he's smooth with the ladies, but that's moving fast even for him isn't it? I'm going to assume the map link is correct and that he's actually in N13.
- What is the (BDT) in the object recap?
- Can you guys please not remove the special rules at the end of each recap? I'd rather not have to go back to the first post to check them all the time.

Silver Surfer Turn 2c

'I do not know who this green woman is, but she is working with a skrull', the Surfer thought to himself. 'The skrulls are a deceptive and power-hungry race. She cannot be allowed to retain an item of such power'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Surfer will push to attack Gamora. AV of 11 vs DV of 17. He needs a 6. Rolls an 11 (5+6). Super Senses: 1. She takes 3 clicks thanks to the Symbiote. No push damage due to the Power Cosmic.

Special Rules:
- The Surfer is not friendly to either the Guardians or Thanos, but is a third, neutral force. His objective is to finish the game with the Gems, as he doesn't trust any of them with such power.

I SEIZE IT FOR MY OWN!: Effect tokens can be carried by any character. A token that is not being carried can be picked up as if it is an object. When a character picks up an effect token or carries an effect token at the beginning of your turn, you can choose which one of the numbered options of an effect a character can use; the character can use the chosen option as a free action.
SUCH POWER... TOO MUCH POWER!: Each time one of a player's character uses an option of a Gem Effect, place a power token in front of that player. After that use of the effect resolves, that player rolls 2d6 and adds 1 for each 100 points (or fraction thereof) of the character's point value; if the result is equal to or less than the number of power tokens in front of that player, remove all power tokens and roll a d6: on a result of 1-3 all effect tokens carried by that player's characters are dropped, on a result of 4-6 only the most recently used effect token is dropped. When a character carrying an effect token is successfully hit by an attack and the result of the attack roll is doubles, the character drops the effect token (even if it takes no damage from the attack).
IN SEARCH OF A NEW MASTER: When an effect token is dropped, the effect ends immediately and the token is placed by rolling 1d6. The player whose turn it is next places it in an unoccupied space a number of squares equal to the result away from the character who had it.
GEM EFFECT: SPACE: Choose one: (1) This character, (2) another character, or (3) any standard object, place the choice in any square of unoccupied clear terrain.
GEM EFFECT: POWER: Choose one: (1) Until the beginning of your next turn, this character can use Impervious (but add 1 to the result when rolling the d6, maximum result 6) or (2) this character can modify its damage by +2 (to a maximum damage value of 5) and can use Exploit Weakness or Psychic Blast (as if it had a range of 10).

Yeah, that sounds right.

I'm not entirely sure, to be perfectly honest.

Gamora needs to roll to see where the Power Gem goes after the Surfer's attack.

This is how the map should look. Due to Debris, we didn't have enough object markers so I used Barrier/Debris Markers for mine. BDM.


http://www.ianparmenter.com/hcutils/...1&u2=x-183y240

Surfers attack was an 11 (5+6), so she'd retain control of the Power Gem for now.

Yeah you only drop the gem if hit by doubles, or from overuse of its abilities

Aha, my bad. Even the Mad Titan is prone to error.

Thanos the Mad Titan:

{So, no less an illuminary than Norrin Rand, the Former Herald of Galactus, the Silver Surfer, has decided to join the fray. Sadly, even such as he will find he cannot wield such power as this! Only I, Thanos, was meant to do so!} so the Titan thought to himself.

The Surfer must clear.

And so he shall.

"What just happened?" Quill said as he watched the Surfer blast Gamora from off in his own little corner of the asteroid field. "I thought he was on our side!"
"I thought so too." Jazinda replied. "Guess we were mistaken."
"Great. Things couldn't get much worse, could they?"
"I wouldn't count on that." Jazinda said as he pointed to Gamora. From the looks of things, neither she nor her suit were taking it very well.

****

"He has betrayed us!" The symbiote said inside Gamora's mind. "He must pay!"

Gamora would have agreed, except that Thanos' approach gave the woman a stronger focus.

"No. Thanos is the threat. We need to fight him!"
"No! The silver one!"

****

"Tell me she's not always like that." Quill
"No, not always." Jazinda replied.
"Oh, goodie." Quill said, getting the subtext of her statement perfectly clear.

"Here, how about I try to go talk some sense into chrome dome. One way or the other."
"Right." Jazinda said after him, then made her way towards Thanos. She had helped keep him busy once, it seemed reasonable to give it another go around, hopefully until at least till Gamora could pull herself together.

****

"We fight Thanos!" Gamora insisted, and maintained enough of a control over her suit that she was able to reach out a long, black tentacle in the Mad Titan's direction. However, while the suit was still willing to play along, the less than agreeable situation the two were in at the moment made it easy for Thanos to evade the attack.

Guardians Turn 4
Free) Gamora will use Power Gem Option 2.
Free) Gamora will use Symbiote to gain +1 to her attack value.
1) Gamora will target Thanos with Psychic Blast, 10 vs 18 (+1 hindering, 19 total). Attack roll is...3,1.
*Gamora gets 1 token. Gem roll is 3,2 (+1; 6 total), so Gamora keeps her gem for now.

2) Jazinda moves to F16.

Quill rests.

TAK, I haven't got your email so I sent the dice rolls to Space Jawa for confirmation.

The Surfer Turn 4c

The Surfer studied the gem in his hand. 'Such a curious object' he thought. He closed his eyes and instantly teleported amongst the ruins of the space station.

He then eyed the powerful purple being. The green woman carrying the gem was now severely wounded, which meant this man was likely to acquire it from her. "I cannot allow that to happen." He fired a blast at the mad Titan, but it seemed to have no effect on him. "Powerful indeed".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free) Surfer will use the Space Gem to teleport to N12.

Gem roll: 6 (4+2) +3 = 9 vs. 2. Surfer keeps his Gem.

1) Surfer will target Thanos. AV of 11 vs DV of 18. Needs a 7. Rolls a 6 (5+1). Miss.

Hey, Wakanda, I just noticed something. Due to the map special rules, I don't think Silver Surfer can shoot Thanos from that position. According to what analog gave me, given Thanos' current position, Surfer could only shoot at him from five squares away or less.

Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't have been able to attack Thanos with Gamora last turn, either.

Neither Thanos, Surfer or Gamora currently occupy Space Terrain, so they have full range to one another.

E-14 looks like space terrain to me. Isn't that where Thanos is?
