Topic: Sentinels of the Multiverse Game 5

[Glitch Girl]

I'll start with regular Unity and see how that goes.

[Reepicheep]

I'll be regular Tempest.

[Uncle Yuan]

And I'll be regular Sentinels.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

And I'll be regular Sentinels.

Ha ha--no.  Just for that, I let the pirate kill you now.

It's a quiet day in Freedom Tower.  Legacy is at home with his family, Wraith is busting up a new gang in Rook City, Bunker is a top secret mission for the military, and Tachyon and Absolute Zero are field testing some cryo suit upgrades near the North Pole.  Unity was ecstatic at being left to monitor things while the Freedom Five were away.  Maybe they weren't going to treat her as a sidekick anymore.  Maybe she was getting the respect from the adults that she deserved.  Then Tachyon asked Tempest to keep an eye on her.  And then gets sent to act as tour guide to the Sentinels instead of doing real hero work.  Even Idealist infectious enthusiasm does nothing to get her out of her foul mood.

In the meantime Parse and Expatriette are engaged in a shooting mach in the base's targeting range.  Or rather Expatriette is enganged in a shooting match.  Parse is occasionally pausing from studying data on her ipad is hit a bullseye with her bow before going right back to studying.  Expatriette is both annoyed and determined by this.

A sudden noise announces the shattering of the peace and a large pane of glass. Time-traveling pirate captain La Capitan steps through what is left of a north-facing window.

"I am Maria Helena Teresa Fafila Servanda Jimena Mansuara Paterna Domenga Gelvira Placia Sendina Belita Eufemia Columba Gontina Aldonza Mafalda Cristina Tegrida de Falcon.  Captain Maria Helena Teresa Fafila Servanda Jimena Mansuara Paterna Domenga Gelvira Placia Sendina Belita Eufemia Columba Gontina Aldonza Mafalda Cristina Tegrida de Falcon to you.  You have been boarded.  Prepare to pay for your interference in my activities.  Surrender now and you shall--"

Catching sight of the Sentinels, whose tour has taken then right into that hallwall, she screams "YOU!  Why is it always you four! Kill them!  Kill them now!"

It is La Capitan's turn.

She starts with her timeship, La Paradoja Magnifica in play.

She plays A Motley Crew: One-Shot--Shuffle the Villain trash and reveal cards from the top until (H) minus 2 Crew cards are revealed. Put the other revealed cards back in the trash.Play the top card of the Villain deck.

There is no trash at present.

There are no Crew in her trash.

A Motley Crew plays "Walk the Plank!": One-Shot--La Capitán deals the Hero Character card with the highest HP 3 Projectile Damage. That Hero's Player cannot use Powers until the start of the Villain turn.

Expatriette takes 3 points of damage and cannot use powers.


La Capitan deals the highest Hero target 4 hp damage.  Tempest, Parse, Expat, and Unity are all tied at 26 hp.  Who would like to take the damage?  Here's the current status with opening hands to help you decide.

The Idealist retorts, "It's always us because you're lame and it's our job to stomp out lame."

"Idealist . . . " warns Dr. Medico.

"What?  She is!  Fine!  But that boat is super-lame.  We need to get rid of it fast."

"There you are not wrong," Dr. Medico concedes.  "Hit it hard, team."

(I don't get available powers?)

[Reepicheep]

Enraged at this corsair and her motley crew(s) disturbing his tai chi, Tempest summons forth an electrical storm to buffet their airborne ship.

He then... um... squalls... at her? Is that even a verb?

Then draw a card.

[Outcast]

Recovering from La Capitan's surprise attack, Parse agrees with the Sentinels as she fixes her glasses.
"That time ship of hers could mean a lot of trouble for us." (Seeing that it could bring out more of her crew faster by playing an extra card from her deck every round.)

Before she can say another word, she sees Tempest unleash his powerful electrical storm.
"We could have taken the ship out quickly." (like in this round if we concentrated our attack on it first.)

And its a good thing that the card that would likely repair the ship just came up. Hopefully giving us time before another one like it comes up.

[Reepicheep]

I tried to work that one out too, but surmised we could only knock 13hp off it, if we went all out. Did I miss something?

This way I end up doing more damage to it and her by next round.

[Deaths Jester]

Fumbling with her jammed weaponry, Expat glares at the overblown La Captain.  "True that ship is a mighty problem but these overblown catter-walling villains always hide behind their lowly henchmen too."

(I had an answer to her constant barrage of crew.  I planned on playing Hair-trigger reflexes this turn.  Combined with Tempest's rolling attack - I don't remember what it was called - the two of us could at least hinder further crew members.)

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

(I don't get available powers?)

I figured you already knew yours, so I could be lazy and negligent, but sure, I'll throw them up there with my next post, if you like.

[Outcast]

I tried to work that one out too, but surmised we could only knock 13hp off it, if we went all out. Did I miss something?

This way I end up doing more damage to it and her by next round.

I could use my Between the lines card to shoot arrows twice. Adding 2 more points of damage.

But actually without using that, between the three of us, you, the sentinels and parse, we could do a total of 14. You being able to play a card that damages and use your base power. Unity can bring one of her bots into play that can deal an extra 1 damage too.

No you can't.  The same power on the same card cannot be used twice within the same turn.  You could, however, let Idealist get the power use instead.  Same amount of damage, although you have no way of knowing that since you don't know the Sentinel's powers.  I'm beginning to see UY's point there.

[Outcast]

Ah yeah, forgot about the Sentinel's powers. Sorry about that - I promise to get rid of that ship at the very start of next round if it doesn't go down this round.

Yeah me too. I guess that's what you get when you choose Regular Sentinels. Either they don't have powers at the start, or you just don't see them. But if we added Idealist's power, we could have destroyed the ship by the time it was Unity's turn. Anyway, next round it is then.

Anyways, it helps to see their powers now. Since i don't always have access to the Sentinels Full Card Breakdown i downloaded, like when i'm using a mobile device or something.

Fumbling with her jammed weaponry, Expat glares at the overblown La Captain.  "True that ship is a mighty problem but these overblown catter-walling villains always hide behind their lowly henchmen too."

(I had an answer to her constant barrage of crew.  I planned on playing Hair-trigger reflexes this turn.  Combined with Tempest's rolling attack - I don't remember what it was called - the two of us could at least hinder further crew members.)

La Capitan's deck has a number of cards that can destroy our ongoing and equipment cards. Not to mention a crew that has that power as well. So unless we have some way of controlling her deck (the time ship being there doesn't help either, with the extra draws, constant shuffling and trash recycling it can do), maybe it's wise not to rely too much on our ongoing cards. You definitely need those equipment cards though.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Alright, should have explained this sooner, but you really do need those equipment cards, because Unity like to dismantle them.

To explain, in order to build her robots, she needs to destroy equipment, hers or any other heroes.  It's polite, therefore, to offer equipment you can do without for that purpose.

She does have cards that offer alternate ways of putting bots into play.  Also, while she can't play bots like normal cards on her own turn, she can if she somehow gets the ability to play cards on someone else's turn.

Now back to our regularly scheduled playing.

If he got it already, then he, like me, is a pre-order, so that would be Wrath of the Cosmos plus 3 mini-expansion (Hero Guise, Villain Wager Master, and Environment Omnitron IV) and 6 Hero promo cards.

Yep, Wrath plus three promo decks  (the "Mr. Mxyzptlk-ish" villain the Wager Master, a "break the fourth wall" goofball hero called Guise and the fourth incarnation of Omnitron as an environment) and promo character cards for KNYFE,  and the Prime Wardens - Argent Adept, Captain Cosmic (new in the expansion), Fanatic, Haka and Tempest.

Back to our regularly scheduled game . . .

Dr. Medico's golden glow intensifies as he lifts into the air.  "All right, Sentinels, let's remind the Captain why she doesn't try her tricks in Phoenix any more!  Writhe, with me.  Idealist, stay close to Mainstay but be ready."  With a wordless nod the inky form of Writhe flows after the glowing form of Dr. Medico.  For a second the Idealist looks like she's going to object, but at a warning glare from Medico she steps closer to the towering Mainstay, who plucks her up effortlessly and places her on his shoulder. 

In seamless tandem the flying pair soar around opposite sides of the floating ship, simultaneously releasing blasts of golden and pitch black energy.  La Paradoja Magnifica's timbers creak and buckle under the double attack. (Horrifying Dichotomy, both targeting the ship.)

"Now you, pepita" comes the bass rubble of Mainstay.  With a wide grin Idealist stands on her wide perch and forms a giant hammer of shimmering blue telekinetic energy and slams it into deck of the already listing ship.  "Super-duper-lame!" (Telekinetic Jab)

[Uncle Yuan]

Fumbling with her jammed weaponry, Expat glares at the overblown La Captain.  "True that ship is a mighty problem but these overblown catter-walling villains always hide behind their lowly henchmen too."

(I had an answer to her constant barrage of crew.  I planned on playing Hair-trigger reflexes this turn.  Combined with Tempest's rolling attack - I don't remember what it was called - the two of us could at least hinder further crew members.)

Hair-trigger Reflexes is a great card for La Capitan.  If Parse can get Exploit Vulnerability into play we'll be able to shred baddies as quick as they pop up.
