Yeah this match has been a blast, and an eye-opening showing of just how damn scarily unstoppable Holocaust can be when he has plenty of space to move in and lots of soft targets to keep him going.

Exiles: Turn 15

1) Driven backwards by the sheer force of Tartarus' mighty blow, a spider-web of crystaline fractures begin to spread all across Holocaust's containment suit, drawing a roar of pain, rage and frustration from the Scion of Apocalypse. "You will pay for this insult, gene-joke! Your entire species will come to rue the day they reap what you have sown today!" Staggering away from the defiant general Holocaust opens up fire yet again, bathing Tararus and the scorched brute in another sea of hellish fire even as the powers of the Crystal Palace pulls him and his unconscious team-mates away from the utterly devastated ship. Holocaust makes a running shot to J15-16/K15-16, blasting away at Tartarus and the Brute one last time. 9 atk. vs 15 and 17 def. Needs an 8 for both and a 6 for the Brute alone. Roll is: (2,5) for a 7 and a hit on the Brute alone. I could settle for that, but I'll be greedy and try for the knockback just because it would be too damn awesome so he'll use his PC and try again. Second roll is: (1,1) for a 2 and a critical miss!

Well... there's my roll of doubles alright! Holocaust takes 1 from the critical miss, 1 from the push and injures himself for the next match (lucky for me, I had no intentions of bringing him for that!)

A titanic explosion rocks the entire vessel, liquifying the fighter craft Holocaust was standing on as the massive heat and leaking fire from his damaged containment suit ignites its' fuel! The sheer concussive force of the blast knocks Tartarus flat on his back as waves of heat and fire washes over him, further ravaging the already badly damaged Carrier.
When he finally recovers and regains his footing, the Exiles are nowhere to be seen and only the utter chaos and carnage left in Holocaust's wake bears witness to them having ever been there in the first place...

And that's all she wrote for this one! Thanks for a great game Craig, I can't imagine a more hilarious way this game could have ended! Best of luck for the rest of the season, and now that we're tied 1-1 we've got no choice but to settle this in the play-offs (where an even bigger and badder Holocaust will be waiting )

Upgrades following game two:

Holocaust will cash in his 17 SA's to upgrade with the feat Nanobots

While both the Arbiter AND Tartarus will be there to greet him.

This is just sick and wrong. I love it!

He's lying. Those two failed. Next time, the Prophet of Regret will take matters into his own hands.

Actually, the Arbiter kicked his tail in our practice game.
