"Brotherhood," Destiny says, "Timelines are converging. I sense imminent defeat."

"Great!" Blob says with blustery enthusiasm. Knowing his comrade well he stops for a moment, "Hey lady, and do these timelines tell ya just who gets defeated?."

"That is unclear. I cannot say."

"Yeah," the Blob groans, "I knew she wuz gonna say that."

I probably should just give here, but a couple of good rolls could still save me. Speedy to Incap the Blob, AV9 on DV13. Gets 6. Rerolls for Wanda, gets 8. Blob is pushed for a click.

Terra pushes on the Blob, AV9 on DV12. Gets 6. 4 to the Blob drops him. Terra takes 1.

Starfire pushes on Dark Beast. AV8 on DV17. Gets 9. Rerolls for Destiny. Gets 7. 1 to Starfire

"Come on, come on..." Speedy said, feeling at the fletching of the arrows in her quiver. "Hmm, that one just might work." She pulled the arrow she chose out and shot it at the Blob.

"A+ for persistance, but F for learning your lesson," the Blob said as the arrow once again imbedded itself in his flesh. Before he could expel it, an electroshock device in the arrowhead went off, sending a thousand volts coursing through his body. "YEOW!" the Blob yelled. His hair was standing on end, and smoking at that. "I'll tear you apart for that!"

"You won't be tearing anybody," Terra said. The ground beneath the Blob's feet heaved. The BLob couldn't be moved from the ground he was standing on, but there was nothing preventing the ground he was on from rising into the air at her command like a tidal wave.

"Hey! Whoa! What're you doing?" the Blob asked.

"Burying you," Terra said. The wave collapsed, bringing the Blob down with it. When the dust cleared, the Blob had disappeared beneath his own burial mound.

Let's see if I can end this now.

Bark Beast vs. Starfire. Needs 4, rolls 5. She's down.

Scarlet Witch on Terra. Mystique perplexes her damage to 3. Needs 6 + 2 + 1, rolls 6. Rerolls 9. Terra's down.

Mystique on Speedy. Needs 7 + 1, rolls 3. Destiny rerolls 3.

Can't do anymore right now. Your call whether to concede or continue. Sage will outwit Speedy's rce.

Now that it's down to Speedy, yeah, I'll concede. Who'd have thought the Brotherhood will have gone through and won three games. The Brotherhood's the new Legion. Well, i'm sorry to see the Titans go, but it is good that we have at least some villainy going into the semi-finals.

By my reckoning you've won three of the four games, so you would get first choice of teams.

It is good to have some villainy make it to the end. So, to the finals go the Avengers, Justice Society, Defenders and the Brotherhood.

Just because of all the cool new figures I'll take the Bros.

To mix it up, I'll run the Avengers this round.

Cool. JSA for me, you get Defenders.

I'll take your #1 for game 1. Why don't I post game 1 and show team etc and have initiative, you do so for #2?

I'll take your team 1 to go against my team 1, which is Avengers.

Then whatever your #2 is will go up the Defenders. Won't get much posting in between now and Thursday night though. Just to warn you.

OK Thursday it is. I do want us to think ab out the Year Without Avengers thing if we wanna do it, we do rush through some of these just to post. We might want to do less games in order to be able to do that. Having said that, WOTU type games which are mostly open, are easily the preferred kind of games for me.

Soooooo....#1 is Brotherhood. I'll reveal that team and get map initiative etc. The JSA/Defenders you'll need to. I'll try to post both starting games before Thursday.

I'm glad the match-up happened the way it did. I was nervous that we'd endup with a rematch of the 2nd round where we already did an Avengers/JSA match. (Playing the same teams too.)

Right now we've got three big games running - WOTU, Top 100 and Tech vs Magic. None of those are going to be done anytime soon. If we play both of these simultaneously, we should be finished with at least one by the end of the month, probably both. So the only other game we'd be running is the finals, which would leave us a slot open for the Avengers game. Once we finish the finals, that would give us some options, either running something different, taking it a little easier, or if we want to do something with Avengers that involves two games at once.
