"So you're a magician, my young friend? Well I will show you a trick," Penguin said, popping a sword blade out of the top of his umbrella and stabbing the youth with it.

"That was horrible!" Peggy said.

"M'dear, this is war and one can't afford scruples in war."

"Good because I don't have any," Grymm said. "I'm Grymm and I feed off strong emotions. Any strong emotions, but fear, anger, hate, those are the best."

Zemo. Leadership. 5.

Peggy turns off her indom and charges to P20 attacking Peggy. Needs 8, rolls 12. Sal is out of range to pc. All Peggys are Koed.

Jar shouldn’t have a token.

I have some Masters/Thunderbolts left to play. But I have a big figure to play. Dark Phoenix, she doesn’t impress me much but I’ll play her. This won’t be my only Jean to play but I wanted to try her out. She ports to HI10,11. Imra makes her range 11.

Hss to OP13, 14 attacking Roz, Sal, Grymm. Rolls 10. 5 for Sal. 6 for Songbird, 2 3s. Wait, Bat-Man: 4. Only Grymm could be hit, a ko to him.
Very disappointing.

Jean outwits Roz’s outwit.

Jar ports to R18 to block.

I’ll give Phoenix greed, she sides to MN13,14.

“I am fire and life incarnate!” Dark Phoenix says arriving on the scene, “But worse, I am also death. If you do not fear me, you should.”

“Uh oh,” Songbird says.

She sinks Grymm into the floor, he cries out in pain, but she shows no mercy.

“I’m feeling a little worried about this,” Songbird says.

“I feel great,” Baron Zemo says, “Think of all the power.”

“Yup, that’s what has me so worried.”

Okay, so really should be dealing with Dark Phoenix obviously, but first there's this stupid jar.

Power Princess Perplexes the Jar's DV to 14

Hugo Strange in. Bat-Man TKs him to U16

Strange Outwits SC on the Jar and tries to MC it. AV9 on DV14 +2. Gets 5. Saarek makes it 2. Bat-Man makes it 7. And already used up all my PC.

Jar to P19. Wish it had a higher move, but oh well. I just will have to accept some damage.

New WKD Guy Gardner. Lame use of him, but he just uses GL TA to ferry Bat-Man and Roz out of harm's way. W6 for him, W7 for Bat-Man, W8 for Roz.

Power Princess Sides/Moves to T8

Saarek to Q10

Morro to L7

Penguin on the Jar, AV10 on DV14. Gets 11. KOs the Jar. Penguin takes 1 for the Jar's Trait, 1 for pushing. KOs himself. Hugo takes 1. Also in Range as Songbird, Zemo and Phoenix who all take 1 as well.

WF KC Harlequin in next. Replaces Penguin, drops her Jack in the Box in P19 to block the Jar.

She will attack Phoenix, 300 point rule now kicking in. AV11 on DV18. Gets 5,6,4 for 1 more to her.

Jack in the Box on Dark Phoenix, AV10 on DV18. Gets 6.

Really have no idea how I'm going to deal with Phoenix this close to the endgame.

"This should dispose of this little menace," the Penguin said, stabbing the Cyber Jar. The thing started to glow red hot and emit a piercing whine.

"Oh that was fine, Penguin, you idiot," the newly arrived Hugo Strange said sarcastically.

"Look out!" Bat-Man warned. "It is going to blow!"

"And as usual it's up to Guy Gardner to save everyone's bacon," the new Green Lantern said, catching Bat-Man and Roz in a force bubble and pulling them to a safe distance just as the Cyber Jar detonated.

"Oh! Thank you very much, Green Lantern! You saved us!" the Bat-Man said.

"Y'know, I like you way better than the other Batman," Gardner said.

"Looks like even the pretty bird lady got scratched up a little by that big boom," the Harlequin said. "I say we keep those booms coming!" She threw an explosive device at Dark Phoenix.

"You've managed to irritate me, I'll give you that much," Phoenix said. "And believe me that last thing you should be wanting right now is for the booms to keep coming," she added ominously.

Where is the Jack in the Box? May not effect this turn.

Jean on Saarek, PP, HQ. Rolls 12. Saarek makes it 2.11 for Songbird. 2 to PP, koing her and healing 1. 2 to Saarek.

Machinesmith makes Guy dupe. Excuse the pun but now we’ll get some Guy on a Guy action. Guy dupe ports to O18. Needs 6 to hit Guy, gets 6. 2 to him.

With all of your figures out of the way I can’t bring in the characters I’d hoped to so easily. Never did use Kid Flash when I play Titans. I guess he’s in. RE005.

Cos tks him to J10. Machine boosts his dv.

He’ll hss to Q11 beating on Saarek. Needs 6, rolls 7. SS is 1. Kos him. Wall ends in Q10 to block.

Phoenix sides to KL14, 15.

“Man, did I pull the short straws for this mission,” Kid Flash says, “They tell me you gotta save the world, Wally. With a team of villains, ones I don’t even know. Sheesh.”

Still, he manages to subdue Salem without any trouble.

Re: Jack-in-the-Box, it goes away after she uses it, back "in the box" if you will, until next time:

First of all, never need to ask my forgiveness for a pun. Second though, my Guy is way over in W6, so no way your Guy could attack him. Harlequin is there, or Hugo is in range, but that's it.

My Guy on HQ. Needs 6, rolls 7. SS is 5. She's safe.

http://rogueeffectgames.com/forum/ma...0&g2=x576y-464

Morro gets to use his Trait:
He'll have Saarek on click 3 so he can use ESD, Psychic Blast and PC. Two replacements. May not get me to points, but I'm getting close. And Phoenix is still trouble.

WKD Titano will be my first at the 100 point level. Takes the teleporter, then Sidesteps to P/Q14/15, attacks Phoenix with CCE (and Giant Reach). Does +1/+1, AV11 on DV18. Gets 7. Songbird is out of range. 2 to Dark Phoenix after Invincible.

SWB Crossbones in for Power Princess. Moves to P8

Roz RS to Q9 on Dark Phoenix, AV10 on DV17. Gets 6. Bat-Man makes it 8. DP herself makes it 8 again. 4 Penetrating to her with Enhancement from Corssbones.

Guy carries Bat-Man back. W16 for Guy. W15 for Bat-Man

Roz Outwits HSS on Kid Flash.

"Groar!" Titano said, suddenly pouncing on Dark Phoenix.

"Brainless brute! How dare you?" Phoenix asked.

"Well, while King Kong is distracting her, maybe now's a good time to try some of SHIELD's more experimental weaponry," Roz said, pulling out a large rifle.

"Give me something. I'll help," Crossbones said.

"Last I checked you weren't exactly on SHIELD's nice list," Rox said.

"I may not agree with SHIELD on much, but I would like to live more than the next 24 hours, so if you're willing to make a truce, I'll help you against the Phoenix. But the guns I brought to the party aren't going to do it against someone of her magnitude."

Reluctantly, Roz bowed to the logic and handed Crossbones a gun. To his credit, he didn't immediately shoot her in the back with it.

Jean has greed from two turns back but I forgot to add it to her recap. I’ll let it go for now but for the future...

Zemo. Leadership. 2.

Jean sides to JK15, 16.

Saturn Girl boosts her range to 9. Tries to mc Titano. Needs 8, gets 3. Then 4 for Songbird.

Guy on Titano. Needs 7, rolls 4. Swell.

Machinesmith boosts Zemo’s range to 7. Attacks, needs 7, rolls 9. 8 for Morro. SS is 1. 3 to Titano.

Zemo outwits Titanos’ Indom.

Titano Sides to O/P14/15

Bat-Man moves to V15

Titano, Giant Reach and CCE on Phoenix, all to Damage. AV9 on DV18. But 300 point rule can apply. 2,4,5. Songbird makes it 5,6,5. So 2 to Phoenix after Invulnerable, and she's on her stop click.

Hugo Outwits SC on Kid Flash, tries to MC him. AV9 on DV18. Gets 10 but SS is 5.

Gotta hope for one more good roll to get past Phoenix's ESD so I can KO her.

Roz pushes to M8, her SHIELD extending Morro's range.

Morro on Phoenix, AV11 on DV17 +2. 300 point rule again. 3,2,1. Uses the PC he got from Saarek, 4,2,6. With the PB also taken from Saarek, he will get past her Impervious and KO her.

Crossbones Sides to O8

Rather than try to move to block, Harlequin attacks Robo-Guy. AV11 on DV17 +1. Gets 9 and KOs him.

She Sides to P18, puts the Jack in the Box in O18.

Jack RCE towards attack on Singbird. AV10 +2 on DV18. Gets 2,1,3. Luck's run out for this turn, but I can't complain. I got the good rolls when I Needed them.
