WCA #33 - "The Scales of Ma'at"

The Avengers tried to assess their situation. The darkened museum offered an ominous backdrop for their concerns. It was past the witching hour, and something odd had happened in this museum – something impossible to explain.

Soon after the team had entered, a vicious animated skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus had knocked out both Mockingbird and Moon Knight on the ground floor, so Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and the Wasp had retreated and called for reinforcements. Mysteriously, the monstrous dinosaur skeleton had disappeared, but then the exhibits on the second floor had seemingly come to life. The Avengers had had to fight their way through ancient warriors, cavemen, and dangerous denizens of an African watering hole in an effort to rescue Mockingbird.

“I think… I think I need to…” Mockingbird stammered before nearly collapsing into Hawkeye’s arms. Her captivity had been beastly cruel, and the adrenaline in her system had subsided since the Avengers had defeated the animated museum exhibits.

“Let’s go home, baby,” Hawkeye said. He looked briefly toward Hank, who seemed to function as the team’s de facto leader at times.

Giving his tacit approval, Hank nodded briefly at Clint. Hawkeye had also pushed himself to the point of exhaustion during the fight. “Take Tigra with you,” Hank said. The Avengers’ feline hero had been knocked out by one of the cavemen during the conflict. Now, Hank had to return to the task at hand: figuring out how these exhibits had come to life – and finding Moon Knight.

Suddenly, there was a bang at one of the tall museum windows. Iron Man had arrived, having received the distress call from Hawkeye, and he was trying to force his way into the museum. Before Wonder Man could open the window for him from the inside, BOOOMKRAASH Iron Man blasted a hole in the wall.

Wonder Man threw up his arms in an instinctive protective gesture, even though the masonry would hardly have hurt him. “Whoa, Iron Man,” Simon said, “couldn’t you wait a second?”

Iron Man hesitated a split second before responding, “I… um… I wanted to help…” He turned his helmet slightly from side to side, as if slowly focusing on each of his teammates in turn.

“We are seeking Moon Knight,” Sersi said. “Can you help us locate him?”

“Yes,” Hank said, turning his attention away from the unmoving caveman figures. He wanted to investigate their constitution, but he suppressed his scientific curiosity, shifting his attention to the more immediate priority of finding their teammate.

“My armor…” Iron Man began. Inside the suit, Rhodes struggled for a moment to recall the command sequence in the suit for multi-spectral scans.

“Hey,” Wonder Man interjected, “what’s this?” He was pointing at a promotional poster for an exceptional exhibit currently on show at the museum: “Mysteries of Ancient Egypt.” Besides the obligatory scenes with pyramids and hieroglyphs, it prominently featured an image of an Egyptian god that bore an uncanny resemblance to Moon Knight’s favorite motif.

“That crescent moon,” Wasp gasped, “it’s just like his outfit.”

Sersi interjected, “Yes, the Egyptians of that age worshiped a wide variety of beings. I visited them only a few times, as my home held all the pleasures I desired.”

“Let’s go!” the Wasp shouted. She shrank and flew off, heading toward the lower level, where the poster placed the traveling exhibit.

Hawkeye escorted Mockingbird and Tigra back to the Avengers mansion, which was still under repair. The other Avengers quickly followed the Wasp as she sped downstairs: Wonder Man, Sersi, Iron Man, and Ant-Man. It seemed fairly obvious that there was a connection between this unusual exhibit and Moon Knight’s disappearance.

Hank was almost glad that the weight of analysis had been lifted from his shoulders. It felt good to charge into action sometimes instead of feeling as though he bore the entire onus for considering the situation’s repercussions. Whoever was in the Iron Man suit now did not have the intellectual capabilities of Tony Stark, and Hank felt like he had to think for the whole team at times.

After his incredible luck in the fight against the animated cavemen and beasts, Hank decided not to fight as Giant-Man. He thought he needed to do more training at giant size because he had nearly fumbled badly during the recent battle – twice.

When the Avengers reached the lower level of the museum, they proceeded cautiously. In contrast to the upper level, where a little light filtered through the tall windows, it was extremely dark in the special Egyptian exhibit. A large cut-out of the Sphinx of Giza adorned one wall near the exhibit’s entrance.

Without warning ssss-THUNK – a sharp crescent dart embedded itself in the Sphinx’s hindquarters, having flown just past the Wasp. “Wha?...!” the Wasp exclaimed.

Suddenly, from out of the blackness, Moon Knight sprang into view, landing in a combat-ready crouch. His formidable physique shrouded by the cape of silver and jet, Moon Knight startled his teammates. He glared at them from his inscrutable cowl, and Jan thought his eyes appeared to glow ominously.

“Leave this place,” Moon Knight declared flatly yet forcefully. He gestured with his left hand, pointing past the Avengers toward the exit.

“Moon Knight,” Wonder Man said, taking a step toward his teammate, “are you alright? Hank said the dinosaur skeleton had flattened you…” All of the Avengers noticed that Moon Knight's voice sounded... strange. It was even deeper than usual and had an unusual raspy quality.

“Leave this place,” Moon Knight repeated, as though he hadn’t heard Simon. “You defile.”

The Wasp was puzzled and she flew a bit closer to the Avenger in silver and jet, asking, “Moon Knight, what is going on here? Are you alright?”

Moon Knight did not reply, but his coiled tendons and muscles betrayed readiness. It almost looked as though he were listening to something only he could hear.

Suddenly, the heroes heard shuffling steps. Like a scene from an old movie, several mummies shambled forth from the darkness. They bore a variety of ancient weapons and headed straight for the Avengers.

"Mummies?" Wasp asked. "This is like a bad movie. That dinosaur was strange enough, now we're dealing with the walking dead?" The lower level of the museum and its special Egyptian exhibit was dark. Deep shadows fell across the display pieces, making them appear uncanny.

"You are surprised?" Sersi asked Wasp. "Have you not seen the dead walk before?" The dark eyes of the beautiful Eternal gazed upon the Wasp piercingly. The held the weight of centuries but retained a playful character. Jan could not figure out how Sersi could be so flippant sometimes, especially if she had really seen so much -- so many wonders as well as so much death and desturction.

"They don't appear to be as slow or as clumsy as the movie versions, Jan," Ant-Man replied. "We had better be careful."

"We have to see what's happened to Moon Knight," Wonder Man said. He rushed headlong toward the mummies, which wielded their ancient weapons with skill.

"Simon, wait!" Ant-Man called. "We don't know what we're facing here!..."

Suddenly, Iron Man triggered his boot jets and flew off -- in the other direction. The Golden Avengers did hnot say a word.

"Iron Man!" Ant-Man shouted after him. 'He's going to have to take care of himself,' Ant-Man thought to himself. Iron Man had seemed somewhat erratic upon arriving at the museum a few minutes earlier.

"Let's go, Jan,Ant-Man said. He, the Wasp, and Sersi hurried to catch up to Wonder Man.

The shambling seemed to slow, but it was hard to see the mummies through the deep shadows. It was remarkable how the silver and black of Moon Knight's costume blended into the darkness.

Ant-Man used his special relationship with insects to summon as many ants as he could. He tried to make a special note to himself: 'I can't forget to send these ants back home after this fight. We wouldn't want them damaging these priceless artifacts,' he thought.

A hush fell over the museum's lower level -- an unusual circumstance in light of the impending conflict. Despite the darkness, Hank could feel the Jan's tension rise behind him. "Hank, how is it possible that these... mummies?..." she began.

"I don't know," Dr Pym responded quietly, "but I bet they're not like the mannequins upstairs. There's something strange in play here."

The mummies did not really move fast, but the horror of the monsters' approach meant that the Avengers could hardly react as they watched the abominations come ever closer. Finally, Sersi shouted, "To arms, Avengers! The creatures are upon us!" She gestured, and Hank felt himself being transported several meters across the exhibit hall.

He alit on a sort of balcony overlooking the displays below. Wasting no time, he dealt a hard kick to the head of one of the mummies nearby. Ancient dust spewed from a fissure he made in its neck wrapping.

Wonder Man did not, however, fare as well. He took a half-hearted swing at one of the two mummies that had inexorably shambled straight up to him.

Rhodey felt strangely disoriented. It wasn't only the deep shadows filling hte lower level of the museum. It wasn't even the bizarre circumstances that had the Avengers fighting a small horde of mummies. Nor was it Moon Knight's unusual behavior -- even more unusual than normal for the enigmatic hero in jet and silver.

Rhodey, the man who had taken the helm of perhaps the most powerful personal weapon in the world - the Iron Man suit, felt oddly beside himself. He found it exceedingly hard to concentrate. Any of the slightly more complicated functions of his awesome suit seemed beyond him. He tried to focus on basic tasks -- like making sure Moon Knight didn't hurt him too badly with that heavy statue he had picked up. 'Was Moon Knight always that strong?' Rhodey wondered to himself.

Now he was mano a mano with Moon Knight. The melee had commenced, and Rhodey felt as though he were drunk.

Wonder Man hit one of the mummies and shattered a desicate arm. It mattered little; the animated corpse continued it relentless attack -- slow but steady.

Ant-Man was relieved to establish that there was no shortage of his six-legged friends in the museum. Thousands of ants had already gathered and begun to swarm all over the mummies.

Just around the corner, Moon Knight's attack was swift and ruthless. He brought a heavy statue down hard onto Iron Man's head. Ancient rubble and dust was all that remained of the priceless artifact.

Under normal circumstances, such an attack would hardly have fazed the Golden Avenger. Even now, Rhodey wasn't really hurt very much. Nonetheless, the blow sent Rhodey reeling. He found it difficult to recover; he stumbled.

He swung his right arm in a wild roundhouse. Moon Knight easily ducked under the attempt. Iron Man's rapid rush at Moon Knight was looking more and more reckless... and part of Rhodey didn't mind.




- Iron Man attacks Moon Knight > :a-fist:10 vs :d-normal:16 > roll: 1+4=5 MISS. (wow ... well, at least it perfectly leads my narrative... )
- Wonder Man attacks Mummy 1 (in M12) > :a-fist:9 vs :d-normal:15 > roll: 1+5=6 HIT (barely!...) Mummy 1 takes 1 damage after Invulnerability.
- Ant-Man attacks the same Mummy 1 (in M12) > :a-fist:9 vs :d-normal:15 +1 (hindering of Deep Shadows) > roll: 4+4=8 HIT. Mummy 1 takes 1 more damage after Toughness. No knockback damage due to the damage reducer still showing; no knockback due to the wall right there.

Wonder Man was fighting valiantly against two of the animated dead. The mummies' ancient weapons had lost some of their metallic splendor, but their effectiveness left no doubt that a lesser hero would have fared worse than Wonder Man. The swords struck Wonder Man's ionically-powered body and drew purple sparks.

Ant-Man did his part by drawing on throngs of ants. It was not easy to see through the deep shadows in the darkened museum. Hank wondered briefly how the mummies' perceptive faculties functioned...

"Aiee!" Jan screamed. The Wasp had been surrounded by multiple mummies and she had not been able to dodge all of the attacks.

Wonder Man heard Wasp's scream and grabbed one of the mummies' arms. With a powerful yank, he managed to pull the mummy's arm off the torso. A muffled screech seemed to fill the darkness.

Meanwhile, around the corner, Iron Man regained his balance and he tried to focus. He wanted to shift from his armor's default force field setting and make use of his cybernetic strength, but his commands seemed to get garbled. Frustrated, he lashed out at Moon Knight and landed a solid -- and lucky -- punch.

Sersi loosed an energy blast, and its flash brightened the museum's special exhibit room briefly. <FSSHHT> Another of the mummies felt the wrath of an Eternal.

"Aiieeee!" The Wasp screamed again. She had turned to face the mummy that had hit her a moment before, only to be hit even harder by another fearsome monster. She was hurt badly now, tired from an evening that had turned into a nightmare.

Meanwhile, Iron Man was reeling, too. Rhodey could not remember the command sequence to shift his armor's suit from ranged force shield employment to close combat structural reinforcement. 'I forgot to turn on the infrared targeting,' the thought flashed through Rhodey's mind. He had Moon Knight crouched in front of him, ready to attack, and an armed, undead warrior behind him...

Ant-Man was receiving feedback from his swarm of ants. Furiously, relentlessly, they were tearing at the shrouds surrounding the mortal remains of the mummies. Both from inside and outside, the ants bit and rent the desiccated materials, both cloth and flesh. "Now, Wonder Man," Ant-Man shouted. "The one on your right!..."

Wonder Man took a step in, avoiding the ancient weapons wielded by the mummies. With a sideward sweep of his arms, he attacked one of the mummy throng, tearing its head cleanly from its torso. A bit of dust rose up from the gaping hole in its neck, and a slight sigh seemed to be audible in the museum's lower level.

Suddenly, the Avengers head another cry from the Wasp. She had been dealt another wicked blow and knocked unconscious.

"Jan!" Ant-Man had just drawn a bead on the most regal-looking of the mummies but was distracted from carrying our his attack. He couldn't get to her now. She had gotten through the fight with the animated dinosaur skeleton, Hank recalled. 'She'll be alright,' he tried to convince himself.



- Sersi attacks Mummy 4 (in L14) > :a-fist:9 vs :d-normal:15 > roll: 6+4=10 HIT. Mummy 4 takes 2 damage after Toughness.
- ('free') Ant-Man uses Perplex to increase Wonder Man's :g-starburst: +1.
- Wonder Man attacks Mummy 3 (in M12) > :a-fist:9 vs :d-normal:14 > roll: 6+4=10 (again?) HIT. Mummy 3 takes 3 damage (3 +1 (Peprlex) -1 Toughness)) and is KOd. (Ant-Man will accept 1 of those IAPs.)
- Ant-Man attacks Princess Nitocris/V Diamond Lil > :a-fist:9 vs :d-normal:15 > roll: 2+1=3 MISS.


( have you been neglecting to include the Alpha Flight ATA in your attack rolls?!?? :surprised :confused:
( one thing i dislike about these online games: i knew exactly how many clicks of damage Wonder Man needed to deal in order to KO that mummy... which allowed me to use Perplex in a way i wouldn't have in a face-to-face game... )

Rhodey was too slow. He felt like the armor was a dead weight on his body. His head buzzed with the incredible amounts of information that the awesome suit was sending his brain via the cerebral interface. He could only watch through the helmet's eye slits as Moon Knight delivered one expert blow after another, rendering the Golden Avenger a prisoner in his own outfit. Wordlessly, Moon Knight knocked out Iron Man.

Sersi shouted, "What have you wrought?! Iron Man has proven to be your ally. Why do you attack us?!" Quickly, one of the mummies shambled up to Sersi, blocking her view of both Moon Knight and the motionless form of Iron Man.

I believe you overlooked Sersi's Life Model Decoy feat. Both of those attacks still hit, but she took 4 damage from Moon Knight and then 1 damage from the mummy... ( it slipped my mind that Moon Knight has Pounce... ) I'll try to get my turn in this morning yet...

Sersi was occupied with one of the walking dead when Moon Knight made his move. With unbelievable speed and ferocity, he leapt at Sersi, grabbing a heavy statue as he pounced. His strength seemed enhanced somehow as he attacked the raven-tressed Avenger. <KRRASSH> The statue burst upon impact, and Sersi was stunned by the powerful attack.

"You unnatural fiend!" Sersi shouted. "You will pay for that." She tried to gather her wits and recover a more advantageous position. She flew back toward Wonder Man and Ant-Man.

Wonder Man was doing his best to hold the line, but the mummies hardly seemed to feel his thundering blows. He was tiring. He attacked the mummy opposing him with a swift punch to the abdomen. His fist embedded itself in the mummy's body, and he felt some itching sensation on it. The mummy hardly seemed to be injured -- or damaged. As he withdrew his hand, Wonder Man noticed dozens of beetles crawling all over it.

"What in the world?" Ant-Man exclaimed. Through the deep shadows, Hank could just make out the insects on Wonder Man's arms. Suddenly, Hank doubled over in pain. "Unngh," he groaned. The thousands of ants he had summoned to assist were under assault by these unnatural vermin. The feedback Hank was getting through his cybernetic helmet had led to the pain.

( i was worried for a while there... i had no other mummy (except for the 'Princess') next to Wonder Man on my map... going back through the turns, your turn 11a had Mummy 5 moving to M16 but you probably meant M12 (as the map shows)... i think that's the only discrepancy... )

WCAvengers turn 13b

Hank had to take a moment to reorganize his thoughts and recover from the entomological backlash. He rapidly adjusted the settings on his cybernetic helmet and reestablished better communications with his ant-friends. The ancient beetles issuing from the innards of the mummies were in conflict with the ants of New York. Fortunately, Ant-Man was able to direct his allies to Wonder Man's aid quickly.


- ('free') Ant-Man uses Perplex to increase Wonder Man's :d-normal: +1.

WCAvengers turn 14b

The fearsome form of Moon Knight leapt into view. Ant-Man was still trying to focus on his six-legged friends, but turned to face his teammate. "Moon Knight," he asked, "what's going on here? Why are you attacking us?"

The muscular figure in jet and silver did not respond, and Hank noticed that Moon Knight's willpower was as strong as ever. 'It might be hypnosis -- or drugs,' Hank thought. 'We'll have to figure this out later. He'll forgive me, I hope...' Hank tried a tested technique against Moon Knight, rapidly increasing his size as he attempted to deliver a powerful kick, but Moon Knight was an expert hand-to-hand combatant. Ant-Man failed to hit.

Meanwhile, Wonder Man was trying his best to hold the line. Wasp and Iron Man were unconsious, and Sersi was injured. He took a wicked weapon to his right side, which he withstood only thanks to his nigh-invulnerability. Simon was, however, surrounded. He lashed out with his left fist and knocked the mummy on his left down and out. He whirled and tried to whip his right hand at the other mummy in front of him, but the unnatural creature parried the blow with its ancient spear. The Avengers were in trouble...



- Sersi throws the LO at Princess Nitocris/V Diamond Lil > :a-fist:6 vs :d-normal:15 > roll: 1+6=7 MISS. LO destroyed.
- Wonder Man uses Hold The Line, attacking Princess Nitocris/V Diamond Lil > :a-fist:8 vs :d-normal:15 > roll: 4+5=9 HIT. Princess Nitocris takes 2 damage (3 -1 (Hold The Line feat)) and is KOd. Wonder Man may now make a second close combat attack, trying to hit the mummy in M12 > :a-fist:8 - 2 (Hold The Line) vs :d-normal:15 > roll: 4+4=8 MISS.
- Ant-Man uses Perplex to increase his own :g-starburst: and he attacks Moon Knight > :a-fist:9 vs :d-normal:16 +1 (In Contact with Khonshu) > roll: 3+4=7 MISS. (aargh -- that goes against my usual style of play, but i needed to go for the long-shot hit there... :rolleyes: )

Pretty sure Nito is still alive, 3 damage - 1 Toughness - 1 HtL would leave her hanging by a thread but still kicking.

1) #6 blades on WM. Rolls: 7. Hits. Blades: Another 5 for the KO.

Free) #4 moves to N-10.

2) Moon Knight will ICWK his attack +1, and attack Ant-Man. AV 9+1 on DV 17, needs 7. Rolls 8, hits for 3.

3) Nito will ICWK her range +1, and attack Moon Knight. Needs a 9. Rolls: 11! Hits for 2 and KO.

[mikeinmke]

no, Princess/V Diamond Lil is KO... i made a mistake back in my turn 12b, where i forgot to indicate the damage she took... how does that change your turn?...

[mikeinmke]

I was adding the narratives from WCAvengers issue #30 to my huge DOC-file and noticed that Ant-Man/Hank/Giant Man has had four critical misses in the last three issues!... He must not be used to growing and shrinking back and forth...

[TheVagrantKing]

Wouldn't change my turn at all :)

[mikeinmke]

??? your third action (by Princess Nitocris/V Diamond Lil) would have targeted and hit Moon Knight for 2 damage?... or does Princess Nitocris ignore the KO???

[TheVagrantKing]

I meant Ant-Man :p

If she was supposed to be KOed, then Ant-Man is still alive and kicking.

[mikeinmke]

I was wondering whether the scenario creator(s) had given you secret instructions as to what happens when/if Princess Nitocris is KOd... ;-) i'll try to get my turn done in the next couple hours....

... and i don't think it's possible/allowable to bestow (via Perplex, e.g. or -- i would presume -- In Contact With Oracle/Khonshu) a ranged attack capacity to a figure with :bolt:0...

[GarganisScorpion]

I was wondering whether the scenario creator(s) had given you secret instructions as to what happens when/if Princess Nitocris is KOd... ;-) i'll try to get my turn done in the next couple hours.... Nope, no special rules beyond what you see at the start of the issue.

This is allowed actually. Story-wise, just imagine Konshu's magical power is giving them some minor "Force push" or "magic missile" or something.

[mikeinmke]

WCAvengers turn 15b

( a few things: Wonder Man had Toughness, so he's not as ueber-KO as you initially indicated... second (and more important): Mummy 4/E Diamond Lil has :m-boot:4 on its/her second-last click, which means that it/she could not reach L10... )

- the last Avengers standing, both Ant-Man and Sersi clear...

This is allowed actually. Story-wise, just imagine Konshu's magical power is giving them some minor "Force push" or "magic missile" or something.

I disagree, and i'm pretty sure i saw this confirmed elsewhere. I quote from page 10 of the 2010 Core Rulebook: "If the range value is greater than 0 and your character is not adjacent to an opposing character, then your character can make a ranged combat attack."

[GarganisScorpion]

So? Boosting the range attribute with Perplex or anything else satisfied the "greater than 0" requirement, so I fail to see anything stopping that character from making a ranged attack.

[TheVagrantKing]

I disagree, and i'm pretty sure i saw this confirmed elsewhere. I quote from page 10 of the 2010 Core Rulebook: "If the range value is greater than 0 and your character is not adjacent to an opposing character, then your character can make a ranged combat attack."

Exactly. My range value became 1 ;) 1 > 0 :p

It was a neat trick to pull (and it still kinda is) when you had a flying no ranger and an opponent who had CR. Perplex range to 1, avoid that nasty +2 to defense :).

No it's really only of use in grounded vs elevated scenarios, like that which just happened.

[GarganisScorpion]

Well, no, flier are no longer allowed to make ranged attacks against adjacent opponents. So a range of 1 pretty much is only useful for grounds vs elevated situations.

[TheVagrantKing]

Well, no, flier are no longer allowed to make ranged attacks against adjacent opponents. So a range of 1 pretty much is only useful for grounds vs elevated situations.

The second 'No' was supposed to be a 'now', and that's why I put 'was a neat trick' ;)

[mikeinmke]

It would appear, with Mummy 4 being unable to base Sersi in your turn 15a (please see my comments above), that this issue has effectively come to a close, n'est-ce pas? Another tough fight for 'my' WCAvengers, but i did a couple things in order to accelerate the story i want...

I look forward to the editorial instructions for the epilogue narrative... :-)

[mikeinmke]

There might be an IAP or two in this game for me yet, VKing... please let me know about Mummy 4, and then I can post my last turn 16b...

[TheVagrantKing]

eh, if she cant' base you, Mummy 4 won't do a thing.

[mikeinmke]

i await your turn 16a...

[TheVagrantKing]

We'll clear. Nothing much to do there ;)

[mikeinmke]

okay, per VKing's instructions:

Thanks for taking the villains here, Vagrant King! There is little doubt that my last two remaining heroes would also have been knocked out if this issue went on... I'm very curious to discover what the editorial crew has in mind for the Avengers!

[WakandaMan]

I'll need to talk over some stuff in greater detail with Gargan first, but in the meanwhile feel free to do your end of arc stuff.

But don't select squad for next issue yet as I'll have some special requirements to give you for that.

[mikeinmke]

adding up the few IAPs from this issue #33, the last of this arc...

from damage dealt:
Iron Man ==> 0 IXPs, 1 IAP
Wonder Man ==> 4 IXPs, 0 IAPs
Ant-Man ==> 1 IXP, 0 IAPs
Sersi ==> 0 IXPs, 3 IAPs
Wasp ==> 0 IXPs, 0 IAPs

TAPs from damage dealt ==> 20 TAPs

from KOs:
Mummy/E Diamond Lil 52 + Princess Nitocris/V Diamond Lil 60 + In Contact With Khonshu 10 = 122 points, which (divided by 4) comes to 30.5 TAPs, and this gets rounded to 31.

Adding these 31 TAPs and the 20 TAPs from damage dealt amounts to 51 TAPs, also known as 12 TXPs, 3 TAPs

Okay, so the bad news is that because you got whupped this issue, Moon Knight is going to be acting as Konshu's avatar full time for the immediate future. So you won't be able to use him for a while. You'll be given a chance to get him back eventually.

For your next arc your squads are going to be a little different from usual. I'll send you an email detailing how that will work, along with your story notes. :)

I'd like to make a single upgrade this arc, in keeping with the small scope of the team members involved -- and it impacts a character that did not appear this arc... :cheeky:

Scarlet Witch will extend her point range to the Veteran iteration from Fantastic Forces, which costs her 13 IXPs and the team 13 TXPs. Consequently, the new totals:

West Coast Avengers
V Iron Man (Secret Invasion) 188 (4 IXPs, 1 IAP)
V Wonder Man (Mutant Mayhem)## 132 (38 IXPs, 3 IAPs)
V Hawkeye (Fantastic Forces)* 84 (12 IXPs, 2 IAPs)
V Scarlet Witch (Fantastic Forces)** 62 (14 IXPs, 2 IAPs)
R Giant Man (Hank Pym) (Avengers) 82 (19 IXPs, 1 IAP)
V Tigra (Fantastic Forces)**** 54 (6 IXPs, 2 IAPs)
V Moon Knight (Avengers) 38 (12 IXPs, 2 IAPs)
V Mockingbird (Sinister)*** 34 (10 IXPs, 0 IAPs)
U Sersi (Critical Mass)# 76 (18 IXPs, 1 IAP)
R Vision (Supernova) 65 (18 IXPs, 0 IAPs)
R Wasp (Infinity Challenge) 24 (4 IXPs, 1 IAP)

* with Trick Shot feat 20
** with Armor Piercing 10

This brings the point total for the maximum point-version of each character to >> 839 points. This does not change the calculation for my squad size, which stays at 475 points.

WCA #33 epilogue

Sersi fought ferociously to the end. There were simply too many of the unfeeling undead, and they managed to overwhelm the Avengers. Under cover of the deep shadows in the museum’s basement, Iron Man had been handily defeated by Moon Knight, as had the Wasp and Ant-Man. Even Wonder Man had been unable to hold the line.

Simon was, however, the first to recover his senses. He and Sersi were assisting the other Avengers when the electricity was restored to the museum. When the lights came back on, the Avengers could see that the basement exhibit featuring the treasures of Egypt was in shambles. Numerous items had been destroyed in the conflict with the mummies, including burial containers, ancient weapons, and irreplaceable garments from dynasties long past.

Most mysterious was, however, the disappearance of Moon Knight and several mummies. They had vanished without a trace.

Iron Man, despite his formidable armor, seemed to be in the worst condition. Wonder Man helped him back to his feet, but the Golden Avenger was disoriented. “Where..?” he stammered, “where’s Moon Knight?”

“Yeah,” Wonder Man added, “we have to find him, get him back. It looked like he was mind-controlled or something. We have to help him.” He paused. “What happened here anyway?...” Wonder Man asked quietly, almost to himself.

“That’s a good question,” Ant-Man answered, wondering again why their teammate had attacked them. “Where is Moon Knight?…”

This brings the point total for the maximum point-version of each character to >> 839 points. This does not change the calculation for my squad size, which stays at 475 points.

Actually with Moon Knight on (forced) leave at the moment, he doesn't contribute to your team total, so your squad size is down to 450.
