Sentinels Shattered Storyline Saga part 5, In Rook City it rains bullets.

Devra couldn’t take her eyes off the news coverage.

All those people, all that destruction, it was too much.

The others were right, they couldn’t have stopped it, they were no match for that fleet.

She understood why they were heading for the portal, wherever it was.  She understood the prison rescue, she had always understood why the Scholar had left her to be captured in Egypt.

That didn’t make her feel any better about it.

The only hope anyone had now was fixing this in the past.  This world, her world, was dying.  Ra’s staff, The Rod Harry carried, and the Scholar’s stone.  They were all needed for the portal to work, Nightmist, The Visionary, even Harry had risked their lives and hers to free Ra.  They had one shot, go back in time, save this Legacy guy’s father and stop some madman named Baron Blade from creating this hellish reality.

She thought of Amanda and her mother, maybe they could both be saved, maybe when this was fixed Amanda would have a mother who loved her.  Unity could fight for that.

*Loud noises*

Suddenly the Bus wretched into the air, and an explosion rocked the air around them.

"Leave Legacy, get Ra!" Wraith yelled through the smoke and fire. They had to keep Ra safe, no matter what.

Haka pulled the doctor free of the wreckage, then looked to see a helicopter landing roughly twenty feet from the bus.

"Hello Friends," a voice came over a megaphone, "I am pleased to announce you will all soon be dead."

Episode 5:

Number of Heroes: 3-5

Available Heroes: Haka, Mr. Fixer (with rod), Nightmist, Tachyon, Visionary, Unity, Wraith, Scholar.

Villain: Ambuscade special edition

Environment: Rook City

Special Rules:

1. When a trap is shuffled into the dack by its text play the top card of the villain deck.

2. Ambuscade has a dog, his name is Fido. Information to follow below:

3. Ra is a hero target with 10hp, text on the card reads:

"Place this card next to a hero target, when Ra would take damage that hero may take the damage instead."

"At the Start of a hero turn, a hero may take Ra and put him next to their hero card."

"If Ra reaches 0hp the heroes lose the game."

Ambuscade's Dog, front side.

FIDO, Gene-Bound Doberman.  (H)x4hp

This card is indestructible.

When Fido reaches 0 or fewer HP, return this card to the villain play area and flip this card.

The first time each round Ambuscade targets a Hero Character Card for damage, or damages a Hero Character Card place Fido next to that hero, that hero may discard/destroy up to (H)-1 cards, If (H)-1 cards are not destroyed/discarded this way that hero cannot play cards, use powers or deal damage until the start of the next villain turn. 

At the start of the turn if this card is in the villain play area play the top card of the villain deck.

At the start of the villain turn return this card to the villain play area.

Second side.

FIDO, licking his wounds.

This card is indestructible.

At the end of the environment turn shuffle the villain trash and reveal cards until a device or trap is found, put that card into play or under this card.

Personal Cloaking Device cannot be put under this card.

If there are three or more cards under this card, put those cards in the villain trash and flip this card, restoring it to full HP.

Sorting out some rules and such with Fido:

The effect on the first side goes off even if you don't take the damage, it goes off before redirection takes place, or if the target is immune.  If Ambuscade cannot deal damage it will not trigger, which will cause the start of turn effect to take place at the start of the next round.  If Ambuscade targets a non-character card it does not trigger, but if that damage is redirected to a hero character card it will trigger on that hero.  If Ambuscade damages a non-character card hero target, then targets a hero character card it will trigger on the character card.

The hero who is targetted gets until the start of their turn to decide, they can post their decision and action(s) at that point.  They can't draw a card on someone else's turn and then discard it to fulfil requirements, but if they do met the requirement they could then draw cards they would have drawn on other player's turn.

On the second side:  I will announce on the environment turn what card Fido finds, the very first responder will decide what happens to that card (in play or under Fido) then I will continue on to the villain turn.

Feel free to ask questions if you have them.

As always first come first serve.

Heroes:

The Scholar - BlueHairedMeerkat

Nightmist - grysqrl

Unity - cmschex

Mr. Fixer (arbiter of Balance) - dpt

We'll start at noon Eastern time, may be a 4 player match.

Can I grab the Scholar please?

Opening Hand: Keep Moving, Offensive Transmutation x2, Solid To Liquid.

Ooo, there's a question: does the dog rule take effect even if Amby cannot deal damage?

No.  (that's where the "if this card is in the villain play area at the start of the villain turn play the top card of the villain deck" comes in)

I'll keep on with Nightmist.

Opening hand: Call Forth {2}, Heedless Lash {3}, Scouring Mists {2,3}

Scholar and Nightmist should be interesting with their interaction with Fido.

I'd like to keep playing Unity, but this next week is going to be a lot of late nights. I think I better sit this game out.

I'm going to bow out of this one, as well--I've been consistently in 2 forum games for the past 2 weeks, so someone else is welcome to take my seat.

I'll run Unity if that's cool, wanted to get back in on this campaign. 

Opening hand: Supply Crate, Swift Bot, Platform Bot, Modular Workbench

Treat her right.

2 spots open, Wraith, Haka, Tachyon, Fixer (with the rod) and Visionary available.

Unfortunately, while I've been wanting to join the campaign, this isn't a good place for me to do it.  I would have been happy to be in the Omnitron / Block fight if not for its inclusion of Nightmist, who I wasn't ready to play online two weeks ago (since then I've gotten enough extra games with her to be comfortable doing it); the simple "agents are Devices and vice versa" twist is one I like.  Fido is a twist I do not like, even if not paired with other changes to a villain I still consider fairly respectable (yes he's weak compared to most other villains, but he nearly destroyed me last night, so he's not harmless; I'd put him about on a par with Baron Blade, who IMO doesn't need any help at all).

One or two small tweaks and I'm in, but something as sweeping as adding an entire character card (and not a half-incapacitated one like the Operative, but one with two full sides like a standard villain), PLUS an alternate loss condition AND upgrades to Ambuscade...it's just way too much for me to have any hope of keeping track of during PBF.  If we were all sitting at a table and you wanted to play with your homemade Fido card, I might consider it, but I'm definitely not up for this.  Have fun, y'all.

I'd love to keep playing, but my time difference issues, combined with the fact that I really should be focussing on my upcoming exams, suggests I shouldn't.

I'll take Fixer with the rod. Opening hand: Pipe Wrench (x2), Bloody Knuckles, Charge.

Is the Rod's power just the standard rod power, or is it that super-duper irreducible thing? And I guess Fido's start-of-turn effect happens on the very first turn of the game?

It is the normal power, as the Rod isn't being wielded in the tomb now.

Yes it goes off first turn.  This fight will actually be quite tough, which is a rare thing for Ambuscade, but I like it thematically that he has a super mutant dog beast that Voss gave him.

Ambusacde in Rook Coty is a fight I did for the Enivronment weekend and we almost lost, so I'd imagine it to be pretty tough with the dog involved

Oh, and Rook City Wraith is available for this fight, don't know if anyone would want to run her over other options, but since we are back on her turf she is an option.

The scene was chaos, the Bus was ruined, the heroes pulling themselves and allies from the wreckage, and behind them the sounds of sirens.

"Take Ra and get to the plane, we will hold them here." John Rhodes looked at the Visionary and nodded.  He took Ra from Haka and ran into the city.

Unity ran with him, Nightmist and Slim were with them.  She looked back, Tachyon, The Wraith, Haka, The Visionary. . . more sacrifices, more people left behind.  She would make sure it wasn't in vain.

. . .

Navigating Rook City was a dangerous prospect at any time, but being hunted through the streets, that was a new experience.

The sounds of fighting were far behind them now, but getting through the city to the airstrip wasn't going to be easy.

They turned a corner, and there he was.

"Hello again, shall we dance?"

Going over it I'm changing the rules a bit, dropping the discard/Destroy from Fido from (H) to (H)-1, so for this game it will be 3.  Also setting his HP from 20 to (H)x4, so 16 for this fight.

Also Ra is starting with the Scholar since he is highest HP.

Running through the streets wasn't helping.  The man Hunting them stayed on their tail the whole time.

"In here!" yelled Nightmist as she barged through a gray metal door.

"No!" Unity knew this area, and that was not a good choice of doors.  Sadly her cry was too late to stop her allies from entering the warehouse.  Inside was an interesting collection of thugs, criminals and low-ranking super powered villains.

"We'll get a pretty reward for this lot." someone called out.

"They are mine gentlemen," Ambuscade stepped into the warehouse.  "I won't be needing your help."

Mr. Fixer brings down the rod on the Personal Cloaking Device, shattering it with 2(Rod)+1(Pipe Wrench)+2(Hasty Augmentation) infernal damage.

For a minute I was scared and thought Unity was going to Bot-Hack my Rod. Could she do that? Is it an equipment in play?

With the villain back in sight, Slim turns his attention to the dog ravaging The Scholar as John tended to Ra.

It just wasn't the heroes day.  They were trapped in a warehouse and the hunter had the drop on them.

"Heard you guys might need a hand."

End:  Tony Taurus

Schoar can again eat Ra's 3 damage.  Snatch and grab or Reactive Plating goes on top of the villain deck, the other goes on the bottom.  I'll assume Reactive Plating is preferred, changing it won't be hard if you disagree.

They broke out through the conveniently open dock door, and into the cold rainy night.

"Mr. Taurus, your timing is impeccable."  said the Scholar appreciatively.

"You just tell The Wraith that now she owes Me one."

Sorry for the long delay! I was out of town last night, and forgot to warn you all.

I’m also think my HP calculation is slightly off: The projectile damage from the turret on Ambuscade’s second turn should have been reduced by 1, so I have 16 HP. I could also take Ambuscade’s damage on Round 3, which would put me at 15 and give Nightmist 2 more HP.

If Nightmist or Scholar builds their HP up above me, I can play Bloody Knuckles, but as it stands it would hurt a great deal.

FIDO, Gene-Bound Doberman.  7hp

This card is indestructible.

When Fido reaches 0 or fewer HP, return this card to the villain play area and flip this card.

The first time each round Ambuscade targets a Hero Character Card for damage, or damages a Hero Character Card place Fido next to that hero, that hero may discard/destroy up to (H)-1 cards, If (H)-1 cards are not destroyed/discarded this way that hero cannot play cards, use powers or deal damage until the start of the next villain turn. 

At the start of the turn if this card is in the villain play area play the top card of the villain deck.

Just a reminder any other hero can take Ra from Scholar at the start of their turn.

I forgot about the DR of villain targets, I think Fido is actually at 8. I remain confused about my HP: Are you sure it's write now? I think I should have had 21HP after Ambuscade's Round 2.

The Scholar

HP: 13

Hand: Offensive Transmutation, Solid to Liquid, Expect the Worst, Flesh to Iron, Bring What You Need, Alchemical Redirection, Don't Dismiss Anything

In play: Flesh to Iron

Additional effects: -2 damage taken.

Nightmist plays Mist-Fueled Recovery {3}. Unity - do you want to shuffle your trash? Would shuffling help anyone else?

Fixer's damagethrough Round 2:  2 before pipe wrench came into play [26], then 3 irreducible melee from Scum and Villainy [23], 2-1 projectile [22], 2 irreducible [20]  I forgot to put that the 3 melee was irreducible, but it was dealt by Ambuscade.

Nightmist, can you possibly take out the Sonic Mine on your turn? The Grease Gun is still in effect, so it won't hurt us for once, and then we can start doing all-target damage (Oblivion…). For instance, you could discard to redirect your Investigation damage.

I don't mind reshuffling my trash, but when does Fido's effect take place?  I was going to drop 3 cards, so can I do that before my turn?

It seems from the wording that Fido's effect takes place when the damage is initially done, so yes, your 3 discarded cards would get shuffled in (and heal Nightmist).

Yeah, you can decide from the time it goes to you until the start of your turn.

Unless you would deal damage/use a power/draw a card before then, in which case you need to decide before acting.

Ok, in order then>  I discard Raptor Bot, Modular Workbench and Brainstorm.

I Shuffle 6 cards from my trash into my deck, healing Nightmist for 3

I put into play a Raptor Bot from the top of my deck

Awesome results right there.

"Let's see how tough he is without all of his toys."

• Ra (redirected to the Scholar for 0 damage)
• Nightmist (Discard Elder Ring {1} and Scouring Mists {2} to redirect to Fido [5])
• Unity [10]
• Raptor Bot [0] (Sorry!)
• Mr. Fixer (reduced by 1 to 1) [11]
• Ambuscade (reduced by 3 to 0) [50]
• Fido [3]
• Sonic Mine [0] - it can't deal damage
• Reactive Plating #1 (reduced by 1) [9]
• Automated Turret #1 [6]
• Automated Turret #2 [6]
• Custom Hand-Cannon #1 [3]
• Reactive Plating #2(reduced by 1) [9]

Additional effects: The first time Nightmist would be dealt damage each turn, you may discard 2 cards. If you do, you may redirect that damage to a target of your choice.

All right! Finally.

Everything that is a villain target has damage reduction of 1 from Ambuscade's advanced text.  Fido doesn't count as a villain target, so he takes full damage.

Reactive Plating each has damage reduction of 2

Ambuscade has 3.

So I guess it should be: Automated Turrets #1 and #2 - 5, Custom Hand Cannons #1 and #2 - 2, Reactive Plating #1 and #2 - 9. Still pretty awesome to finally have no more Fido for a bit.

"Magic's always destroying my bots!"

Unity was out of her element, the Streets started looking alike, and without time to stop and orient herself she wsa lost.

Unfortunately for the Heroes their Hunter was clearly at home, chasing them from rooftops and leading them into dead ends.

At least his dog had run off, licking his wounds and crying.  Hopefully he'd stay gone.

Static:  Reduce all Damage dealt to villain targets by 1.

The sun never shines in Rook City.  It seems like it's always been that way.  But sometimes, if you are lucky, the clouds part and the Moon shines through.

This was one of those moments.  Everything went right, for a brief shining moment the heroes luck turned, and an opening presented itself.

"Where'd he go?"  Nightmist asked.

Nobody had an answer.

Just a reminder any other hero can take Ra from Scholar at the start of their turn.

Umm, I hate to say this, but Ambuscade's damage is irreducible on this side. Also, the "In-Play" summary at the end of turn seems to be out of date. Doesn't Fido act at the end of the Environment turn? And why didn't he discover any of the many devices or traps in the trash?

EDIT: Never mind on some of these questions, the Automated Turrets are not Ambuscade, and the trash was shuffled into the deck.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest the Bee-Bot hit an Automated Turret and Twisting Back Alleys, seeing as those are the only targets that can be hurt. EDIT: Oops, there's also the Personal Cloaking Device. The choice isn't obvious to me.

Destroying the PDC is perhaps not the best option, since unless Ambuscade then shuffles it into the deck Fido's just going to reveal it and pop it right back into play.

Unity, next round, feel free to blow up my Pipe Wrench if you need to.

Fido is going to try to retrieve one of those two Automated Turrets; do we want to let it?

I wanted to do enough damage so Fixer could kill it.

And thanks, but I've got another Pylon which should be good for me

You can hit 3 targets with Brainstorm, so you could hit the Cloak at no extra cost.

Let me know if you might want to blow up the Wrench on a future round.

"What is that wonderful aroma?" The Scholar asked.

"That would be one of the great attractions of our fair city, Toxic Sludge."  Mr. Fixer replied.

The Heroes had survived Ambuscade's onslaughts, but they were no closer to getting rid of the hunter than when they started.

Nightmist scowled, "We have to deal with that man before we can get out of here."

I vote the statuary hits the Reactive Plating.

The Hunter was near, he was destroying Unity's Bots, setting more traps and turrets for them to find.  It was a war of attrition, and the Heroes were not winning.

If the cloak is the only device/trap in his trash, Fido will just put it back into play. So there isn't much point in killing it if we don't have some other fodder in the trash.

It was just a question of whether Fido would retrieve it from the trash. Actually, I think it would be great to have it under Fido; then it can't be found by Vanish. EDIT: There's plenty of other Fido fodder now.

Cloak can't go under Fido. It just goes into play.

I think maybe the Statuary over the Twisting Back Alleys? An extra 1DR will be painful, now that we can finally hit Ambuscade. Sorry, Unity.

Well, if we can get one of the Turrets to 2 HP, it wont be as big an issue...

I'd also vote for Fido taking the trap.

Nightmist discards Mists of Time {3,4} to redirect the 4 damage from Rigged to Detonate back at Ambuscade.

I agree with Falling Statuary. Let's get it to hit one of his turrets.

The bots can do 4 damage to the turret on my turn.

Unity, the offer to blow up my pipe wrench stands ; I’ll probably change tools this round

Oh Crap.  She Hacked it last round, which means after your turn the reactive plating was still alive with 1hp.

I'll rework things and plot the damage for Ambuscade's turn, I assume Nightmist's redirection will change to reactive plating or the turret so she doesn't get hit back, but let me know how you want to roll with that.  The Scholar could use one of his 2 shots of damage to finish off the plating as well.

Yes. Nightmist murders the turret or the plating. I have to run off to a meeting, so I'll let the Scholar decide what I hit.

Nightmist hits the Plating, since it has 2DR and I can't get through that, and then I shall start chipping at a Turret.

What, what? I killed the Reactive Plating on my turn: I hit it once with the Rod for 4, and then twice with Strike for 3 each, and it is dead.

EDIT: Oh, I see the mistake now. But then I have to change my turn: without the Pipe Wrench, I lose both bonuses to damage, and Overdrive isn't worth it. Editing.

EDIT: Updated now. The Plating is at 4HP after my turn, and I have Overdrive still in my hand. My apologies for not reading carefully enough.

Use a power: Bot Hack - destroy Pipe Wrench to bring out Raptor Bot

We can redo this somehow if you figure it out.

OK, so I can now easily take out the Reactive Plating on my turn, but the rest of you will have trouble getting through its DR. If someone hits it for even one point, then I can switch tools to a Jack Handle and take it out and then hit Ambuscade. (Unity, you could blow up my other Pipe Wrench if we go this way. I'll be doing 3 damage to all targets that way, so then you should leave the Automated Turret at 4 or 5HP.) Or, if you all manage to kill the Reactive Plating before my turn, I can switch to a Hoist Chain and reduce Ambuscade's damage. If neither of these works, I can use Overdrive this turn.

Another option is that Falling Statuary deals irreducible damage, so could also take out the Plating, but I suspect we'll want to hit Ambuscade at least a little before then.

EDIT: It seems that we decided that Nightmist hits the Plating for 4-2 to 2HP, then Scholar hits one of the Automated Turrets. Can I propose the one at 8HP, for maximum effectiveness for a potential Jack Handle or Overdrive?

Yeah, sorry, I was going off your previous statement about Pipe Wrench being available.  The other option is I could Bot Hack Starshield Necklace instead of redoing everything

I'd rather have Nightmist tanking with the Necklace, I think we have it sorted out now.

So to summarize:  Currently Plating is at 2 HP, Turret #1 is at 6, Turret #2 is at 8 and it is Nightmist's turn.  Fixer can JackHandle everything for 3 irreducible on his turn, and we want to leave at least one target w/ 2HP or less to take the hit from the statue.  My bots will do 3 and 3 damage at the end of the turn.  Just wanting to make sure we are all on the same page

With Dr. Tramata's help the heroes turned one of Ambuscade's traps against him, the falling gargoyle smashing one of his robotic turrets.

"I need a falling rockbot."  Unity said as she looked over the smashed machine.

"Uhh. . " Dr. Tremata slumped over.

"Tsk tsk, our game is for you and me, not for these peons."  Ambuscade laughed and swung up onto a fire escape.

Mr. Fixer draws Salvage Yard and heals 2HP.

grysqrl, you never updated your turn on Round Eight with your specific draws. (I'm thinking about the timing of when to play Salvage Yard.) EDIT: If you preferentially discard your Relics for a bit, you'll be getting them all back (assuming you don't have to reshuffle in the next few rounds).

BTW, I'd say go with Blighted Streets over Scum and Villainy. I'm planning to make all our damage irreducible starting next turn.

Just want to say Meerkat that seeing you play Scholar has been very educational.  Having 9 cards in hand after keeping three forms in play this long, well played.

Thank you! :D It's gone rather better than I expected...

Alright, that resolves the unknowns from last turn, and Ambuscade is now at 25, (cryo bot still hits after Nightmist's redirect)

Astral Premonition reveals:

Armed and Dangerous (reveal till you find a device, put it into play then play the top card of the villain deck)

Vanish (put Personal Cloaking Device into play and flip Ambuscade)

I tend to favor Vanish, since it's a known quantity. But it might get messy with Fido pulling it back out of the trash. Opinions?

Unity, could you maybe bring out Bee Bot instead? I'm going to be destroying the Hand Cannon with Jack Handle damage, and it would be fantastic if Bee Bot could take out Charged Attacks after it damages Ambuscade but before it damages us.

I had been planning on an Overdrive this turn for a Salvage Yard next, but it sounds like people want their cards back now, so I'll do that.

I think there's a really good chance we can kill Ambuscade next turn if he doesn't Vanish. But, like you say, that's a known quantity we can survive. EDIT: If Unity does bring out Bee Bot, he'll be down to 18HP after my turn. If we do go with Vanish, I'm going to play Grease Gun next round, assuming that the rest of you can take out the Cloak.

Also, if you let me discard to destroy Blighted Streets, he'll do an extra +1 damage to himself.

You have to have dealt no damage on your turn to qualify for the discard to destroy Blighted Streets.

Oh, OK, never mind on that part.

Nightmist dealt no damage. I'll discard Mistform {2,3} to destroy Blighted Streets.

Unity already discarded to destroy Blighted Streets.  Fixer just wants her to set up for destroying charged attacks with Bee Bot.

But I think Unity is trying to keep Raptor Bot alive by playing Stealth Bot so Raptor can eat the cloaking Device and be around for the Bot Rampage coming.  (since Amby will be going stealth this turn and try to kill Raptor)

The problem is if Fixer plays salvage yard he has to not attack to keep Bots alive due to Charged Attacks, since 3 damage to all targets will kill a bot no matter what (and a second will die on Amby's turn)

If Fixer doesn't attack, Custom Hand Cannon's damage will be 3 irreducible and be dealt to Nightmist, who can redirect to the cloaking device, and Stealth Bot can eat the 4 irreducible that Raptor would take, leaving all the bots alive.  Next Turn Unity would need to throw Bee Bot, and Scholar and Nightmist would have to resist destroying anything until then.

Since Amby will flip and become immune to damage, and the -1 damage will go away (so riveting isn't a help this next round at all) Fixer sitting on his hands in his junkyard is proabably the best option.  

Got it. I rescind my discards. It never happened.

Ok. Let's put Vanish on top.

This is all a little confusing. If we go the Bee Bot route, then the Bee Bot and a Raptor Bot will die (barring the environment play). I guess the Stealth Bot route, Unity gets to work on her swarm of Raptors, for truly massive damage the turn after next. OK, that seems worth it.

Ambuscade rounded the corner, with the heroes right behind him.  When they rounded the corner he was nowhere to be seen.

I think Ambuscade is at 24. The Racketeer only did 1 damage, as the Riveting Crane strike had expired.

I cheated a bit and looked at the next cards in the environment and villain decks, and I have a request.

The game should be over next round, I just want Nightmist not to Astral Promonition or Mistbound this round so something cool can happen. (no one is going to die)

That's not cheating, I do it all the time when I'm running games (and not playing in them, so my knowledge can't influence the outcome). Then sometimes you get to laugh maniacally as you see doom and destruction approaching :D

That's right, and she acknowledged it. So that Elder Ring should be in her hand, not in play (since she would get it back from Salvage Yard). EDIT: I see that Nightmist lists an Elder Ring {3} in her hand, and another one in play. Since there aren't duplicates, I suspect it was just an editing mistake.

Additional effects: Non-hero targets cannot deal damage.

I would suggest a different approach to Charged Attacks damage.

Since Charged attacks can trigger multiple times, and it hits villain and environment targets you could drop personal cloaking device to 3hp, then finish it off like you did.  Then re-order Charged attacks.

Charged Attacks hits Racketeer for 3 [10], then Automated turret for 3 [5], then hand cannon for three [x], destroying hand cannon and triggering Charged attacks.

Charged attack2 hits Racketeer for 3 [7], then Automated turret for 3 [2] then Bee Bot, which destroys Charged attacks (ending all the damage) and deals 2 to Automated Turret [x], dstroying it.

Leaving Racketeer at 7hp and the rest of the field cleared.

Bee Bot is all kinds of win.

phantaskippy, I think it's a little better than that: I think Bee Bot does damage before destroying the Ongoing card. So Bee Bot would do 2 damage to Automated Turret [X], triggering another Charged Attack on the Racketeer before it gets destroyed.

Except now I'm confused: would the Charged Attack hit Bee Bot again? That doesn't seem right. And if not, it seems that one round of damage would get through to us. It might be simpler just to have Bee Bot hit the Racketeer, to avoid having to think too much.

You are correct, the last round would get through, so Automated Turret survives at 2hp, and Racketeer at 5

Nightmist makes her way across the tops of the buildings, careful to not be seen by Ambuscade.

Nightmist found what she was looking for, then waited.  Shortly the Hunter leaped onto the building and ran right to the spot and found. . . nothing.

"Looking for something?" Nightmist asked, holding his cloaking device.

Ambuscade just stared in disbelief.

At the end of the environment turn shuffle the villain trash and reveal cards until a device or trap is found, put that card into play or under this card.

Personal Cloaking Device cannot be put under this card.

If there are three or more cards under this card, put those cards in the villain trash and flip this card, restoring it to full HP.

The Scholar: 13, Ra:  6

Nightmist:  25

Unity:  6

RBot:  2

CrBot:  3

SBot:  2

RBot:  2

Mr. Fixer:  6

Just a reminder any other hero can take Ra from Scholar at the start of their turn.

WOOHOO!  Cloaking device in play and Ambuscade on his first side!  {happy dance occuring}

Now let's finish this thing.

"Surprise."

The Scholar

Play a Card: Know When To Turn Loose; discard his whole hand for 12 damage to Ambuscade [13].

Yep. Fixed.

It kind of is cheating, although framing it the way phantaskippy did is reasonable enough.  I think it's perfectly okay to look at what cards are in the deck and thus predict what could happen, but leaving the cards in the peeked order and thus knowing what will happen is a bit more questionable.  But this is a storyline game, so in the interest of a more fun outcome, it's not that bad a thing to do.

Unity, if you use Hasty Augmentation on me, then your bots will be dealing irreducible damage. I don't know if you can do better some other way, though.

Well, that's thoroughly baffling.

Nightmist

I frequently look forward to get an idea for my storyline bits, most of the time it doesn't help, but sometimes it does.  When I saw what was coming this time I was excited, and the timing (being right before the heroes unload and finish the game) made it really cool.

Heedless Lash is a spell, so you also got HP back from playing that. Not that it will matter.

Yeah a hasty Augmentation - Dino chomp time ends the game.

Unity can even use another equip to summon Turret bot for fun.

Just get to wait for her to make it official.

“What’s wrong, not so tough now are you jerk?”  Unity yelled at the tied up unconscious figure of the Hunter.

“And you can get out of here you freakshow mutt!”  Unity threw a rock at the dog-like monstrosity, chasing it around the corner and out of sight.

“You ready to get out of here?” Nightmist asked the others.

Mr. Fixer nodded, “Hopefully the others made it to the airstrip already.”

“I was wondering,” Unity started as they hailed a cab, “how did you know where his cloaking device would be?”

“I am a paranormal investigator, I can recognize patterns.” Nightmist replied, then leaned her head back and closed her eyes.

. . .

They arrived at the airport to see a nervous Haka pacing back and forth.

“You made it, that is encouraging.” He said as they carefully piled out of a very cramped cab.

Wraith flipped out her cell phone “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” she said into the phone.

Unity groaned, “Really?”

Wraith looked perplexed, “Tachyon chose it, she found it amusing, I don’t understand why though.”

“Where are we going anyway?” Unity asked, changing the subject.

Scholar put his finger over his mouth and shook his head.  Unity didn’t pursue the question.

“Planesreadytogogetonboardwe’retakingoffnow,whowantsapopsicle?” Tachyon sped by them into the plane.

“Everyone on board, single file and no pushing.” Haka said cheerfully, licking a popsicle Tachyon had brought him.

“And we’re going to save the world?” Nightmist said with a wry smile.

Everyone seemed cheerful, even with Ra injured, Expat dead and Legacy and Ryan Frost abandoned things somehow seemed positive.  For the first time it seemed that they just might do it, they just might save the whole world.

COMING SOON:

Episode 6:  Time flies like a Pheonix, Fish fly upstream.

Sorry there is no vote for where we go next, but it is pretty set for the next few fights.

So here's a non-important thing to vote for (It won't affect anything, really, trust me )

If you had a heliopter and you had to destroy a rampaging robot Weasel would you:

A.  BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!

B.  Feed it fluffy Bunnies until it repents.

C.  BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA

D.  There is no D.

Once we get an answer I'll start the next one.

This one is open to anyone who has participated in the story at all, others are welcome to vote too, you never know, I may even count them.

Voting will close at 2pm eastern time

A:  1

B:  2

C:  

D:  2

I vote D.

But I'm in no way affecting the outcome, only seeing what it might be. Spoiling the surprise for myself does nothing to change things or spoil it for others.

Fair enough.

Might I be able to get in on the next chapter, assuming it's houserule-light?

I'm hoping to open it tomorrow afternoon, and it will not be house-rule heavy.

Make sure you vote too.

B*

Everyone knows robo-weasels never repent. I would feed it fluffy bunnies so that they can mate, reproduce, and expand until the robo-weasel explodes from internal pressure.

A. You can never have too much fire.

I don't really go for silliness...I guess of the options on this particular poll, I'd vote D.

I vote B

Thanks to each of our five voters.

The new game will be coming shortly.

“That wasn’t quite what I expected.” Scholar said as they pulled Unity from the wreckage.

*cough**cough* “Sorry about that, just wanted to test my new shock absorption system, it seems it worked.”  Unity brushed herself off and looked at the remains of her Falling Rock Bot.  

“Next time let’s test it in the lab.” Tachyon said with a chuckle.

“What?” Unity asked.

“In our world you work together in the Freedom Five building.” Wraith answered.

“Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting you didn’t come with us.”  Tachyon gave her a pat on the shoulder and turned towards a new person, someone blue. . .

“Mack, how’s the progress?” Scholar asked.

“We found the portal chamber,” Tempest stated, “but there is a problem.”

“What do you mean?” asked Tachyon.

“It seems something is alive in that area, Hello I’m Tyler Vance, and the guy over there is the Argent Adept, but you can call him Tony."

“Tyler is right, all our scans show the surrounding area is active, and heat signatures show multiple life forms inside.” Mack handed The Scholar some printouts.

“We think we can avoid them, but it will take time to tunnel under.” Vance said, unfolding a map.

“I’m afraid we don’t have time for that anymore,” The Scholar interjected, “Our flight here was a hurried affair, we may have company before long.”

“Well then, let’s get down there and see who’s home.”

(Nitpick: Tempest is really more of a green.)
