Claimed:
Death's Jester as Expatriette
Outcast as Scholar
Glitch Girl as Wraith
Abenavides as Tachyon
spydermann93 as Tempest
We have the 8 heroes from last time back again. They are:
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/bunker.png)
A soldier with a suit of military designed power armor, Bunker is a bit like Iron Man, only he can't fly and has a lot more guns.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/fanatic.png)
Mistreated for the pair of wings she is gifted with, Fanatic has chosen to side with the angels--literally--in the fight against evil. Holy warrior type powered by holy relics.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/Haka.png)
A gentile soul gifted with super strength, ancient warrior traditions, and immortality. He's like the Hulk if the Hulk looked more like a normal person, was highly educated, and was an elementary school teacher for his day job. Okay, he's nothing like Hulk, but he does like to smash.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/Legacy.png)
From a long line of Legacies starting with the Revolutionary War, each generation of Persons have developed a new power and passing it and all previous ones on to the next. The current Legacy possesses flight, super strength, durability, and danger sense. His daughter has laser vision. Yeah, he's like a hybrid of Captain America and Superman, but plays most like the former, inspiring his team mates to greatness.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/ra.png)
Finding the staff of the Egyptian sun god Ra, a humble archeaologist uses it to transform into Ra, god of the sun! Yeah, he's Thor with fire powers, basically.
By wait, there's more! 8 more heroes enter the fray. The last 2 from the base game, the 2 extra heroes and 4 from the first two expansions. They are:
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/absolutezero.png)
A lab accident has turned him into a creature of frost and cold. As his cryo suit and chamber is quite expensive, he is forced by the government to join the Freedom Five in exchange for being allowed to live. He isn't terribly thrilled about it. The most complex hero in the game, he relies on hurting himself to damage his enemies.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/visionary.png)
A powerful psychic from the future who has come to the past to save her younger self from the life of a lab rat that she suffered through. Manipulates decks and offers buffs and debuffs rather that direct attacks.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/Unity.png)
A technopath who serves as Tachyon's lab assistant. She builds an army of robots to assist her in battle.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/mrfixer.png)
An elderly blind mechanic who happens to be a master martial artist. Fixer gets only one power, but can modify it with various tool and style cards.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/argentadept.png)
With the power of ancient magical instruments, he puts the power of music to use. A total support hero who make his team mates a little more awesome.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/nightmist.png)
Cursed into a form of mist and magic, this private eye uses powerful spells and ancient artifacts to take down the forces of darkness. Another self damaging hero who can actually tank pretty well too.
That's it. Claim your hero!

Having conquered countless planets, enslaving their inhabitant and adding their power to his gene-bound armies, Grand Warlord Voss has come to Earth!
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/Omnitron.png)
Once just a power automated robot factor, an error in the latest software upgrade gave Omnitron the gift of sapience. Too bad it considers itself superior to those squishy organic things.

(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/Megalopolis.png)
The home city of Legacy and the Freedom Five. A shining vast metropolis.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/pike.png)
Rook City's famous chemical plant. Any rumors as to strange experiments and mutated creatures is pure fiction, I promise.
My original plan was to fight Voss in Megalopolis, but you may choose any combination you like. If anyone wants that last spot, now is the last chance to jump in and claim it.

Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on July 17, 2014, 10:55:29 PM
It is a quiet day in Megalopolis. While Legacy and the other male members of the Freedom Five are away with an earthquake in Asia, Wraith and Tempest monitor the city from the Freedom Tower while installing some new security upgrades the two ladies have invented together.
The quiet sooner gives way to the loud roaring of engines from overhead. The skies above the city are filled with unknown ships. A hologram of a vast, ugly face hovers over the city.
(http://www.sotm.freedomforceforever.com/banners/voss image.png)
"People of Earth. I, the Grand Warlord Voss, conqueror of dozens of planets, lay claim to this place. Surrender at once. You cannot win. To demonstrate my power, I will lay waste to this city. Any resistance will be met with utter annihilation."
Several ships begin landing in the downtown area, landing ramps opening to disgorge aliens solders with apparently unrelated species. Behind them, is the Grand Warlord himself. As hundreds run screaming away from the approaching alien horde, a lone figure stands firm. A figure who resembles many of the troopers currently disembarking from Voss's ships.
"What are you doing out of your troop, slave?"
"I am not your slave. I escaped, as will these good creatures."
The warlord laughs. "Do you, a single Maerynian, expect to stand against me alone where your entire people failed?"
"He is not alone, punk."
The noise of gunfire sounds from the left. Voss's minion quickly close in to shield their leader as Expatriette makes her entrance. A sleek black car shrieks to a stop to the other side, Wraith and Tachyon jumping out to join the others.
In the meantime, unnoticed in the confusion, an old, overweight man sleeps on a chair next to the nearby hotel pool, snoring quietly.
Begin Round 1
NOTE: there's a lot involved in the initial setup, so be patient. Villain's first turn and round 1 summary may take a few to set up. It's coming, though, promise.

Back side, starts attacking heroes directly. Half protection from minions. Flips back if 2 or more minions in play
It is now Voss's turn.

HP: 90 Highest Villain Target
Minions in play:
Gene-Bound Shock Infantry 3hp Lowest Villain Target
Gene-Bound Psi-Weaver 3hp Lowest Villain Target
Gene-Bound Guard 3hp Lowest Villain Target
Gene-Bound Firesworn 3hp Lowest Villain Target
Gene-Bound Ion Lancer 3hp Lowest Villain Target
Details on what the Minions do:
Voss plays Gene-Bound Firesworn
Gene-Bound Firesworn :Minion, 3hp--This card is immune to Fire Damage.
At the end of the Villain turn, this card deals the Hero Target with the highest HP 2 Fire Damage.
Since the heroes are tied for lowest and highest hp, it's decision time!
Either Wraith or Tempest needs to take 2 Energy damage. The damage is coming from a minion, not Voss, so no nemesis bonus if Tempest takes it.
Three different minions deal damage to the highest, which is tied between Expatriette and Scholar. Whoever does not take the first damage from the shock infantry will take both damages from the firesworn, so one of you takes 3 damage and the other 4. Need to know who want to take the 4.
Post by: Outcast on July 18, 2014, 03:45:48 AM
I'll take the 4 damage, makes sense since i was caught off guard sleeping.
*Looks at the looming alien invasion going on and mutters to himself*

Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on July 18, 2014, 09:26:46 PM
So then, Shock Infantry hits Expat for 3. Expat is now at 26 hp.
Psi-Weaver hits everyone for 2. Expat has 24 hp, Scholar 27, Wraith 24, Tachyon 25, and Tempest 24.
Firesworn hits Scholar for 2. Scholar has 25.
Ion Lancer hits Wraith for 2. Wraith has 22 hp.
I realize I made a mistake here as Scholar and Tachyon now are tied, so either could take the next Firesworn damage, but since he's already volunteer, Firesworn hits Schloar for 2. Scholar has 23. You all can change that later if you like.
It is now Expatriette's turn.

You may play 1 card, use 1 power, then draw one card. If you do not play a card or use a power, you may draw 2 cards instead.

"Might as well go down fighting. Let's do this."
*and.....cue music theme of Guardian of the Galaxy movie* :P
Scholar plays Truth Seeker to try and deal some damage to Gene Bound Guard.
"Truth hurts doesn't it." "Ok, maybe not so much."
(Scholar know his attacks aren't really fazing these soldiers thanks to that Gene Bound Guard minion. But at least he gets to draw a card and see what his other options are.)
Then use base power to heal 1hp. Then draw another card.

How dare you attack my new home!? Was Vognild Prime not enough to quench your thirst of blood, 'Conqueror?' Where the deaths of millions of my OWN people not enough to appease your ravenous appetite?"
Voss does nothing but laugh at the puny Maerynian
"My people were a peaceful race, and you murdered them! Thousands slaughtered by your hands each Lunar Cycle! Thousands more enslaved and forced to turn on their families! Youngspawn killed with no remorse! All in the name of your "glorious" empire.
Today, I shall avenge my people with a blistering cold that you have never seen!
NOW, DEPTHSPAWN! BREAK BENEATH THE ENDLESS TIDE!"
Knowing the strength of Voss' weapons and technology, Tempest decides that one of his "Squalls" would prove fruitless.
As such, Tempest puts all of his strength into a "Grievous Hail Storm" in an attempt to break the ranks of Voss' genetically enhanced legions.

Would someone like to discard a card from their hand to save the victim and destroy this card before it can go off?
Post by: spydermann93 on July 26, 2014, 05:13:05 PM
If it's any card, I'll remove my "Into the Stratosphere" card. For now, that card can't really do anything.
If it has to be an ongoing card, I'll have to see what my teammates say as I would like to save the "Electrical Storm" for when that pesky guard is finally dead :P
Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on July 26, 2014, 11:31:19 PM
If a card says destroy, it means any card in play, of any type.
So Stratosphere it is. Impending Casualty is now destroyed. This concludes Round 1.

One such blast knocks over the Scholars lawn chair. Relunctantly, he rises, still in bath robe and swim trunks, and walks over to the nearest Guard, picking him up easily in one hand. Ignoring the chaos around him, he begin firmly questioning the alien.
As this is going on, civilians continue to flee the scene. One is not quite fast enough, almost getting hit in a Fireswarm's blast. She is saved by a burst of air from Tempest, knocking her near the edge of the chaos. He looks at the scene. To his right, Expatriette has destroyed the walking frames of the Psi Weaver's brains, their braincases unharmed, but useless. To his right, wraith has incompacited the Ion Lancers with a series of blows to their throats. Right in front of him walk the twisted remains of his own people. Seething in anger, he calls on the coldest of the arctic winds, pulling from the clouds a storm of hails which pelts Voss's forces mercilessly.
Well protected behind his soldiers, Voss simply smiles in amusement.
It is now Voss's turn.

Voss plays Forced Deployment:Ongoing--When this card is destroyed, take all of the Minion cards from the Villain trash and put them into play.
At the start of the Villain turn, destroy this card.
Oh, I forgot to list a few effects for this turn. Wraith has damage reduction and the Ion Lancer cannot do damage.
Shock Infantry hits Tachyon for 3. She now has 22 hp. One Firesworn hits Expat and the other Tempest, leaving both at 22 hp as well. There is now a four-way tie for lowest hp.
Wraith's DR remains in effect until she gets hit. Using the power again will raise it to 4, but still only for the first hit taken.
To Explain forced deployment--it will basically bring back every minion killed so far. Right now that's only the Psi-Weaver. Anything you kill this turn will come right back at full hp next turn. Anything you injure will stay injured, however. That isn't a big factor though, since Tempest could use Hailstorm to kill them all by himself anyway. (in the case of mass damage, the person dealing the damage decides the order, so first point of damage on the Guard, kill him. No more armor, take out the rest.)
Anyhow, anything you take out now just comes back when Voss gets his turn or anything else destroys Forces Deployment, that's you bottom line.
With that out of the way, it is now Expat's turn.

There is no restriction of information in this game between players, which is why I only use spoiler tags. Feel free to plan things ahead, coordinate moves, check out each others cards and make suggestions, etc.

"He's about to send out another one of those soldiers," Wraith reports. "Looks like the armor blocks standard projectiles, but not much else."
"Well just grand. That makes me useless against it, so it looks like the other flunkies are mine."
Post by: abenavides on July 29, 2014, 05:39:02 PM
Am I seeing this right?
I only have 1hp damage cards, which will do nothing.
I could use Synaptic to spare myself 3 dmg but it would kill something that comes back next turn anyway (so maybe hold on to it for now)
I could use Blinding Speed to destroy the Forced Deployment, but that's going away anyway
Unless anyone else wants me to so they can do tons of damage?
Otherwise, I may just use base power to chk next card

"I can't seem to hurt any of them!"
"Directly...it may seem you can't. But indirectly you and Tempest are the key to wiping most of these soldiers out. Not to mention wiping that smile off Voss' face."
"To quote Sun Tsu, "In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In all fights, use direct methods in battle, but use indirect methods to win the war. " "
"He also said, "Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.". (So i'd say destroy Voss' Lazarus machine, so we can go ahead and start cleaning house.) :P
(Even if he still has a spare Lazarus machine to resurrect his troops, as long as Wraith's one step ahead of him, we should have nothing to fear.)

Does it automatically do two Cold Damage to all villains once every one of my turns or do I actively choose to use the Hail Storm any turn that I'd like?
Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on July 29, 2014, 09:20:51 PM
Quick question about my hailstorm:
Does it automatically do two Cold Damage to all villains once every one of my turns or do I actively choose to use the Hail Storm any turn that I'd like?
It's a Power. You may activate one power on each of your turns. There are cards that can let you use powers outside of your own turn (Scholar has one, in fact) but unless a card specifically allows you to do so, you must wait for your own turn. It's a really powerful one though.
While we're on the subject, you do get to decide the order in which mass damage things like hailstorm happens to hit things. It will always try to optimize the order for you if you don't specific, but it is your choice. In this case, if you hit the Guard first, you'd drop the armor on the all the rest before you start hitting them. Fortunately the minion that's immune to cold isn't out yet.

Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on August 06, 2014, 03:16:04 AM
Although his troops swarm over the city, Voss is still not satisfied. He called to his ships to rush down reinforcments quickly. Anticipating the danger, Wraith, now scanning the battlefield with advanced headgear, warns Tachyon, who speed back to her lab in Freedom Tower, which the rest of the heroes switch in a desperate holding action. Tachyon successfully jams the alien navigation signals, causing all but one troops ship to become lost. A single squad of Psi Weavers is all that arrives.
Tempest continues to put his fury into the hailstorm. As Wraith, Expatriette, and Scholar focus on holding their ground, one by one, the invaders fall to the city onlslaught, leaving the Psi Weavers and a very angry Voss. In the meantime, the police have arrived on the scene and are now evacuating the area. A few officers, either very brave or very foolish, are now taking potshots at Voss himself, to no effect.
Begin Round 3.

Anyhow Impending Causalty goes away.
Although another troops joins the fray, Expat and the Scholar make short work of Voss's remaining forces. Tempest's storm picks up in intensity, shooting lightning now as well as hail, the full force of both pounding down on the now unprotected Voss. Voss just stand their, seemingly unbothered.
"Impressive. The five of you have taken out several squadrons of my gene-bound forces, the elite of several planets. Yes, this planet's inhabitants will make a find addition to my armies. First, it seems, I must teach you all personally how a real Thoravian warrior fights!"

As for my turn, I'll play "Quick Draw" to play "Prejudice" from my deck and follow that up with an attack on Voss using both "Pride" and "Prejudice". I'll then draw and end my turn.
Expatriette suddenly pops out from behind a pile of rubble. "Sorry, blokes, but I had to stop to reload." With that she turns her signature twin pistols on Voss and opens fire. "Take care of that blasted machine this scum just wiped out. I'll make sure to keep him distracted enough to not bother you."

I will execute your instructions for next turn. Posting things head like that can be very helpful, if nothing changes in the meantime. Unlikely, in this case.
Anyhow, you deal Voss 2 and 2 damage. Since I forgot to factor Tempests Nemesis bonus correctly on Round 2, Voss should have gotten a point of damage then as well. So voss is down to 79 points of damage.

"Wasn't expecting an attack from the big Voss man himself. Well at least we got some idea on how he attacks. Live and learn."
Scholar also notices Voss activating the same device to call for reinforcements.
"Guess it wouldn't be an invasion if those were the only soldiers he brought along. As one great man once said, Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change...and i see there's no better time to do it than the present."
Scholar discards 1 Mortal Form to Energy to keep the current Mortal Form to Energy in play. Then plays Flesh to Iron. Uses Truth Seeker to bash Voss in the noggin while he's still within reach (don't you think you'd get away with knocking the wind out of me for free Voss), then draw 1 card at the same time. And to end his turn, he'll draw another card. :)

Good news is this is a good time for this to happen. Scholar has his metal form out and can tank all the damage going to the lowest without taking any damage from it, except for 1 point from Voss himself. Tachyon and Expat both have ways of dealing with 3 point attacks. You'll still take some damage, but not as bad as it could be and if you attack the minions in the right order, you can easily clean all of them out next round, no problem.

The Eyepiece is not Limited, so you can have both in play at once, but each one would be considered a separate power, so you'd need a way to activate two different powers at the same time for that to actually be useful. Wraith DOES have such a card in her deck.
Smoke Bomb is also not a power. It's effects are automatic. That would, however, pull damage away from your guy with the heavy armor next round, so it might not be optimal at this time.

Well this is good to know. If he ends up using all of his Forced Deployment cards early in the game while he still has few minions out/in the trash, Voss will be forced to start from scratch in building up his minions up to 10.
Don't forget to play a card, if you want to.
GG, I think what cat means here is....
A couple of Hero notes here.
Each turn you may play one card, then use 1 power, then drawn one card. You may also skip the rest of your turn to draw 2 cards instead.
One Shots of played immediately and discarded. Equipments and Ongoings hang around. Only one copy of a Limited card can be in play at once.
Since he did say that each turn we may play one card, i'm not sure if we can really skip playing a card and use 1 power. You could still play a card, like equip throwing knives, then choose to use the power of your infra red eyepiece.

Those three options are not linked. You may skip any one or more of them you like, or all three if you so please. Only special rule is that if you skip out on both playing a card and using a power, then are you permitted to draw one extra card. In other words, it's perfectly fine not playing a card and still using your power. I simply wanted to make sure that was your intent. It is, so all is cool.
I think I'm also going to tinker with my information format to make it more clear what your power options are.
The top two cards of Voss's deck are:
For the record, the hero with the most Ongoings in play is currently Scholar with 3.
You may place one on top of the deck, and one of the bottom.

The Frosthound could damage all of us, but the Banshee would only harm Scholar, and he could easily heal that damage (using "Proverbs and Axioms" and "Better Living") in one turn and get more cards in his hand at the same time.
The Frosthound would damage the entire team, albeit for one less damage a piece.
But I'm definitely open to suggestions, here :P
Tempest: "I hate Frosthounds..."
EDIT: Actually, with the "Proverbs and Axioms" and "Better Living" combo, he could negate all of the the Frosthound's damage for the entire team and heal himself one hp. Either way, everybody would get cards and nobody would get hurt, so it's up to you guys (primarily Scholar). :P
Tempst: "but I hate Banshees more."
Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on August 14, 2014, 09:38:29 PM
There's actually a combo you could do with three different heroes working together that would make the entire team immune to the vast majority of damage for possible the rest of the game. (yes I'll tell, but only if asked)

Sorry, DJ, but discarding can only be done from your hand. Destroy means remove something in play, discard means from hand. I can retcon a different discard from your hand, if you like.....Anyhow, you deal Voss 2 and 2 damage. Since I forgot to factor Tempests Nemesis bonus correctly on Round 2, Voss should have gotten a point of damage then as well. So voss is down to 79 points of damage.
It is now Scholar's turn
Uhm....since i did attack him using Truth Seeker....Voss should at least felt something....i know my attack ( probably a clubbing melee attack using the philosopher stone :P ) isn't much but i know he isn't protected by any minions at the moment. Voss should at least have 77 hp when my turn ended. :mellow:

Each Police Backup shoots Voss for 1 point of damage each, reducing him to 70 hp.
Voss knocks Scholar, now glowing green and transparent, into a nearby wall. As Tempest concentrates his storm on Voss, Expatriette and the ever increasing numbers of police in the area concentrate gunfire on Voss. He seems to be starting to notice, if only barely. In the meantime, Wraith and Tachyon are working together to predict and counter his military operations. Dismayed, Voss issues an order--immediate reinforcement, ignoring losses. More dropships begin to arrive. . .
This concludes Round 4.

It is Voss's turn. At the start of his turn, he will deal the highest 4 energy damage and the lowest 3 fire damage. Scholar is the lowest no matter what and will take 1 point of damage, reducing him to 13 hp. Any of the other heroes could take the highest damage, but as Expat has already volunteer, Expat takes it, then destroy Flak Jack to ignore the damage.
Forced Deployment destroys itself, bring back every Minion in Voss's trash. They are Shock Infantry, Firesworn, Firesworn, Soldier, Ion-Lancer, Psi Weaver, and Guard.
Voss then plays Gene-Bound Banshee
First off, the Infantry will hit the highest for three. Everyone but Scholar is tied for highest hp, so who wants it. Tachyon has the option to use Synaptic Interruption to redirect the damage to another target if she takes it.

Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on August 16, 2014, 05:48:24 PM
Thanks to the Guard being back, all damage to them is reduced by 1.
So you could reduce any one of them to 1 hp, basically.
Actually, right now the minions are reducing damage dealt to Voss by 8. 7 Minions brought back from Forced Deployment, plus the new one that just go played.
To simply matters, here's things as they currently stand

All damage dealt to Voss reduced by 1 for every Minion in play. Voss's current reduction is 8.

Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on August 17, 2014, 12:50:57 PM
Voss should have attacked after the minions came out. What this means is that tachyon can redirect that damage instead, which is enough to instant kill any minion, while expat can take and ignore the damage that Tachyon was going to re-direct. Do you still wish to redirect to the guard? Since Voss goes first, you can also re-direct to kill another minion before it has a chance to deal its own damage. Both have merits, but I'll need a decision on that as well.

Scholar uses his power to heal himself, all the while directing the energy surges to the Shock trooper and Psi Weaver.
(I am hoping i can somehow make it so that my hp would be the highest hero target. So Wraith can use the Smoke Bombs' ongoing effect to redirect even the attacks directed to the lowest hp towards me. I'm thinking that's what cat had in mind to protect everyone from most damage.)
If not, i can also have the Scholar to play some Proverbs and Axioms. (If you guys are so inclined...)
"Would you guys like to hear out some inspiring quotes and proverbs? You know i've memorized them all. I also like to share some logical theories and deductions with you guys on how to stop Voss. Anyone interested?" :thinkingidea

I thought the 3 minions with 1 hp each were the only ones left. :banghead:
If i had known/remembered, i may have directed my attack on that gene bound soldier who is immune to Wraith's projectile attacks. Or better yet used Get of the Way.
So that's why i could have healed much more than i should.
It was really my intention to heal up as much as i can. Don't know why i totally forgot there were still a lot of minions in play.
Anyway what's done is done. No use trying to take it back because it would only confuse the others. They can pretty much handle them. I just hope another Forced Deployment is among the next 2 cards or so of Voss, or it's pretty far below his deck. *sighs*

Voss grinns savagely as fresh soldier arrive. His glee does not last long. His attempt to blast Tachyon iwth his power gauntlets only results in him missing and destroying his own Psi-Weavers, while a Scholar, holding the Philosopher's Stone in one hand, turns his body into transparent energy followed by a coat of metal, just in him for his punch to clang harmlessly off him. Several of the alien warrior attack him with equal success while a combination of Expat's gunfire, energy blasts from Scholar, throwing knives from Wraith and Tempest's every grown storm disable or destroy the remaining fighters. Voss is once again left alone. He withdraws this time, gliding across the street on some sort of hover platform above the abandoned cards filling the road below.

If i were to use Get Out of the Way, would Traffic Pileup and Quark-Drive Translocator count as 2 non-hero targets? Therefore making that 3 non hero targets (including Voss) affected by fire damage? If Voss is the only non-hero target, it would be a waste to use this.
Will Traffic Pileup affect the power of Bring What You Need? I'm hoping there's a chance that it may be exempted from this because it doesn't actually say that you draw cards. (The reason for this is because sometimes i notice some cards in the Yugioh TCG get away with this sort of thing.)
Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on August 23, 2014, 10:42:27 AM
You are also correct about Bring What You Need. I does not actually draw any cards. This game is very literal, so since it does not at any time tell you to "draw" a card, it is not doing so at all.
And don't forget to discard if you want to keep your Forms in play.

Since time is of the essence here, i think i'll play Get Out of the Way and use Better living to heal myself now so i'll be tied with Wraith as the highest Hero target.
Now the question is where should i direct the energy damage to. I have a mind to use it on Voss to cause him a total of 5 damage ( 1 fire damage + 4 energy damage as i heal 4 hp). But seeing as the traffic pile up is causing some trouble for me and my teammates in drawing cards, i want to ask them if they'd rather have me target the traffic pile up card instead.

Next, I will use Chain Lightning on Voss first, and then the Quark Drive.
Post by: catwhowalksbyhimself on August 30, 2014, 01:37:13 PM
Voss takes 5 points of damage from the Chain Lightning, bringing him down to 49 hp, and the Quark drive takes 3, leaving it at 2.
The Hailstorm hits Voss for 3, leaving him at 46 hp and the Quark Drive Translocator is destroyed.

Cards in Play: Police Backup, Police Backup
Megalopolis plays Cramped Quarters Combat:Change the type of all damage to Melee Damage. Increase all, Damage dealt by 1. At the start of the Environment turn, destroy this card.
The Police punch Voss for 2 points of damage each, leaving him at 42 hp.
The Heroes forcibly blast a path through the cards and follow Voss to find him standing in from of a large slowing arch being attending by a large group of engineer aliens. As they approach, it activates, showing an alien landscape behind it, with legions of more slave soldier ready to step over into Earth.
With a yell, Tempest throws a bolt of lightning that arcs between it and voss. With a sputter and a few flames, the structure shuts down.
Voss retreat down a narrow ally. The heroes can hear his order his solder to prepare to destroy the city as soon as his ships can get in place for a bombardment. The heroes and their police escort pile in to the alley.
This concludes Round 6.

Thanks to Shielding Winds, Scholar and Wraith will take the same amount of damage whether Voss hits them or the Soldier does, so the question is who do you want to take Wraiths 3 points of retalitory damage? Either 2 more to Voss, or 3 to instant kill the Soldier.

Is combat stance still in effect? It's listed in my hand but it got played earlier. Same with Utility belt and Micro Targeting Computer.
In the meantime, I will throwing knife Voss for 3 and any other targets (I don't think there are any, but just in case).
I am also going to activate the eyepiece to see what Voss is up to.

I thought removed Combat Stance. It just doesn't want to go away. Utility belt was removed from your hand after you pointed it out. Both are permanently in effect unless destroyed.
Micro Targeting Computer is not listed as being in your hand. Mega Computer is, but it's a completely different card.
I should also point out that Close Quarters Combat is turning all your damage to Melee (and increasing it by 1), so the bonus from Micro Targeting Computer no longer applies. You will only do 2 damage to Voss. There are no other targets.
Do you wish to play a card? That should happen before powers, but it doesn't matter in this case.
Next two cards in Voss's deck
Post by: Glitch Girl on September 07, 2014, 05:30:14 PM
I was going to play grappling hook but since close combat is only one turn, not worth it. I guess I'll play Trust Fund, though I'm not sure how many cards "r" is.

Does that mean you wish to discard the other Razor Ordinance and the other Trust Fund? You are not limited to just discarding from the four you just drew. You may discard any 2 cards in your hand including but not limited to the four you just drew.

A confusing all out brawl in the narrow ally takes place. Voss runs out of other end, clearly injured and now for the first time genuinely running for safely. He pauses for a brief moment to issue orders to his fighters above, who strafe the supports of the monorail system about. The who rail looks like its about to collapse on the heroes below as they emerge from the ally themselves, an unconscious troop of alien left behind and two squads of police following.

So shotgun for 4
Assault rifle for 2
Pride for 2, which also triggers Prejudice for 2
Then Prejudice for 2.
Total damage twelve. Game over.
Voss doesn't get far before a heavy volley of gunfire from Expatriette brings him down. He barely survives and is still unconscious when FILTER arrives to collect him for their extra-dimensional prison. They glare at Tempest as they go. "Next time, alien."
Voss's fleets and armies, meanwhile briefly try to continue the attack, but they soon start fighting each other as several of Voss's Senior officers lay claim to his throne. They soon abandon Earth, racing to be the first to lay claim to the home world.
While the damage to the city comes to millions, the casaulties were fairly low. Tempest is officially declared Mynerian ambassador to Earth and given diplomatic immunity, much to FILTER's irritation.
HEROES WIN!
Good job all. That went fairly well. You were lucky that Voss's ships and Lieutenants never came out, but I think you could have handled them.
If there is still interest, I will start another game shortly. I will add all remaining heroes to the mix, plus the promo variants. Since there was interest in both Omnitron and Gloomweaver, we will likely play one of them.
Good job saving the multiverse, heroes!

Expat worked out okay too. I think you underestimated the value of the shotgun though. It does exactly as much damage as pride and prejudice together and pierces armor like nothing. Pride and Prejudice are better if you get damage boosts into play against unarmored targets, or stockpile Ammo on them while firing other gun. Pride and Prejudice worked out well in this particular case.
Odd that most of her Ammo cards were never drawn. At least you got that Unload just in time to finish things.
I'll start up a new thread and get going on the next game within a day or two. I have 7 never heroes to throw in the mix, plus all or most of the possible villain and environment option. Including the really hard ones, if you want a challenge.
