Inspired by the release of another Hellfire Gala set, flyingicarus and I are going to do a game featuring the Hellfire Club. Certainly the Gala sets, but also anyone affiliated with the club (and according to Wikipedia, that's quite a lot of options. We can duplicate characters, but not versions of characters.

Initiative 4, 9 as a tiebreaker.

"One never knows who one is going to see at one of these galas," Harry Leland noted as Dr. Doom walked by.

"Especially when you have someone who can make you see...well, anyone he wants," Jason Wyngarde pointed out, conjuring an image of Marilyn Monroe dancing with Julius Caesar.

"I'm keeping an eye on you, Wyngarde. And you know how dangerous my eyes can be," Cyclops said.

"Cyclops, the gala is supposed to be neutral territory. No fighting," the Scarlet Witch reminded him.

"Yeah? Is that why they have all the guards stationed around the room?" Laura pointed them out.

"I doubt somehow that we'll be able to get through the evening without having to call on our powers at all," Magneto said, barely keeping a Venom symbiote in check.

Initiative is 4 and 6, map is yours.

“I can’t wait to show those upstarts whom they’re dealing with,” Donald Pierce says.

“Now is not the time for battle,” Jean Grey reasons.

“If not now, darling, when? War doesn’t always choose its timing,” Emma Frost says.

“I get it. We’re heroes, we fight,” Spider-Man says, “But these digs are nicer than all the clothes I got home combined. I’m gonna hate to see them torn up.”

I wasn't expecting to get the initiative. The Alien City map looks like someplace you might have a gala.

I'd say the Mandroids can't be hurt or koed.

Magneto to C18, carrying Wingarde to B18, Wolverine to C19 and a Hellfire Guard to B19

Doom to K19, carrying Leland to K18

Wanda to F19, carrying Cyclops to F18

Other Guards to E, and L19

Remember Leland's Trait "HARD TO MOVE, HERO?: Opposing characters within 4 squares modify their attack and damage -2 if they have moved this turn. // Opposing characters can't be placed (from elsewhere on the map) within 4 squares of Harry Leland."

And Cyclops's Defense SP "When a friendly character with the X-Men keyword within range is targeted by a range attack, modify their defense +1."

Also remember these Hellfire Guards can give Mastermind to any adjacent character with the Hellfire Club KW

There's going to be so much of this stuff to keep track of this game, it's going to be a bit of a headache,

Besides not being able to be attacked the Mandroids should always be allowed 1 use of tk for free. I think that's how we did that before.

Mandroid A tks Emma to K10.

She targets Leland and Cyclops choosing to ignore hindering. Gets 6. I won't risk a reroll to hit Cyclops, I'll do 4 to Leland or I'm sure he'd rather ko Guard B.

Mandroid b tugs her to D3.

Polaris free tks Guard B to O7.

Guard B koed.

"They're starting to move," Daimon Hellstrom notes.

"Then we move, too," Donald Pierce says.

"Hit them before they hit us? I guess that's something of a strategy," Falcon says.

"It'll do until a better one comes along," Polaris adds.

I don't remember that. You've got two free Tkers to begin with. They should at least be taking tokens. Otherwise you get yo-yos like you just did ad infinitum. No, that's no game at all that way.

Fair enough. Doesn't change my turn other than giving tokens to the Mandroids.

Cyclops Lead - 4

Okay, so we can either play the hesitant, pick off from the distance game, or I can go all out aggro on you, and I honestly don't feel like doing the picking off thing.

Doom to I11, Leland in H11. Doom Outwits Jean's Defense SP.

Mandroid B TKs Scarlet Witch to F14

Venom Magneto RS to H13, carrying Guarrd A to I12 and Wolverine to I14, targets Jean, AV12 on DV18. Gets 8. 4 to her.

Mandroid A TKs Cyclops to G14

Cyclops RS to G12 on Jean, AV11 on DV17. Gets 7. 4 to her.

Scarlet Witch RS to H10 on Jean. Gets 5. She PCs that to 12. Emma's got no LOF with Falcon and the Guard in front or her, so that's a KO to Jean.

Guard A to G14

Jean KOd. Remember Leland's Trait. It could be more relevant this turn: "Opposing characters within 4 squares modify their attack and damage -2 if they have moved this turn. // Opposing characters can't be placed (from elsewhere on the map) within 4 squares of Harry Leland.""

"I hate to say it, but we all know it. Jean's the real power over there. We have to take her out of the equation fast and hard," Cyclops said.

"I am impressed, Cyclops. Not letting mawkish feelings of affection cloud your tactical judgment. There may be hope for you yet," Dr. Doom said, leading the vanguard.

Saturnyne is in for Jean. Ups her damage. Attacks Leland. 10. Wanda: 11 which is a critical hit for SW, not that it matters. Kos Leland, drops a Captain Britain guy adjacent.

Cap B on Wanda. Gets 6.

Polaris free tks Pierce to H9.

Pierce on Wanda, getting + 1 to AV and damage. Gets 6. Saturnyne will reroll the 1 to a 3, a hit. Won't risk blades, 4 to Wanda, 1 to Pierce.

Leland koed and blocked. 4 to Scarlet Witch.

"Harry Leland, feel the ground crumble beneath your feet," Saturnyne says.

"Hey!" he groans before falling through the ground, "That's MY trick."
