X-Games, Volume 3

[flyingicarus]

Time for a brand new set and a new series of games to celebrate them for Gargantua and I.

As far as the game construct goes we have 5 series of 1000 point games followed by a finale using all figures from those 5 games. As usual we get 8 figures on board at a time (multiple figures like Madrox count as 1) and replace as they fall. Throughout the series we can each any feat twice. We've added a mechanic we've used before---'Crazy 8s'. In this game it works this way: make an attack roll. If it's an 8, complete the action. Then roll an 8 sided die. Your figure exchanges with the opponents figure equaling that rolled number (with any action /damage tokens on it). Each game with we both will have a team leader, that figure alone cannot be switched (Professor X and Magneto are among them). At each games end the 'exchanged' figures go into a pot and are divided up, winner getting first choice, if it's an uneven number that final figure goes to the winner.

Our story posts reflect a kind of Age of Apocalypse type of world where two mutant leaders (Magneto for Gargantua, Xavier for me) war with their own factions of mutants and mutant-sympathizers. This allows us to focus on mutant characters while throwing in non-mutants.

This one focuses on colossals!

"You're fidgeting," Roullette says.

"I'm nervous!" Armor responds.

"Relax," Roullette offers, "I'm creating a red energy disc around you. It'll give you luck!".

"Thanks."

"The girls seem ready Charles," Phoenix says telepathically to the Professor, "Are you?".

"I am," Xavier says. Suddenly Onsalught appears, a mixture of Xavier, Magneto, Nate Grey and Franklin Richards.

"Do you really feel the smoke and mirrors routine will work, Charles?".

"The mere appearance of Onslaught will evoke fear in our adversaries, Jean, their imagination, boosted by two of the greatest telepaths of their time will do the rest while I continue planning...".

"A good plan in theory," Jean says, "But I'm getting a telepathic connection to our foes here, Charles....one of them is Apocalypse."

Xavier takes a very deep breath at that.

My reroll is a 4. You get to pick the map on this one.

Instead of experimenting I'll go with an old standby. The less confusion with the colossals, the better:

"Onslaught and Phoenix," Apocalypse said grimly. "I have no doubt we will win, but you may not all survive."

"Nice pep talk," X-23 said.

"But those that do survive will be stronger," the villain continued, ignoring her comment.

"Right. Those that do," Bishop said.

"I'm a survivor," Elsa said. "I've fought all kinds of monsters. This is no different."

[Gargantua]

I just got an good look at Onslaught’s dial. Good Gravy Marie, he’s scary. 15 clicks of either Invulnerable or Impervious? I thought my numerical advantage would be worth something. Now I’m not so sure. I may have to steal Phoenix from you to beat him.

[flyingicarus]

No stealing Phoenix. I hex you and no 8s will appear this game! Really is it fair to get Phoenix for Val? I guess Crazy 8s are never about fair....

Absolutely dull turn here. Armor moves to X5. Whoopee.

I think this will be the slowest of all of our games.

Roulette to S8.

Phoenix will rs to R8 attacking Val, Sunfire, Bishop. Rolls 10. 2 to Bishop, 2 to Sunfire, 1 to Val. You got me all worried I'd be trading Phoenix for Val.

Armor pushes to S7 where she takes 1 and her defend kicks in.

Onslaught to TU7,8.

Armor shares her defend with everyone.

"It's too quiet out there," says Val Cooper.

"Let's move. Sunfire, for one, is not fond of sitting."

"No," Bishop says, "We wait. We go when the time's right."

"Well, it's right for me now. No one tells Sunfire what to do," the mutant says.

"Fool," Phoenix says menacingly, "You'd have done better to listen to Bishop."

With a wave Bishop and Sunfire are thrown full-force into the walls. Val Cooper isn't as resilient and falls quickly.

"Wow," Armor says to Roulette. "And Phoenix isn't even our biggest player!".

[Gargantua]

Not to slow a slow game down even further but Phoenix has HSS, not Running Shot. While that's normally an advantage, it does halve her range, so she'll have to get closer to make an attack, and only being able to make it from a gounded spot, that'd make Bishop an ineligible target.

[flyingicarus]

Fair point.

Phoenix will rs to H11 making the attack on Val, Sunfire and Destiny. She rolls the 10. Destiny makes it 6. Roullette makes it 6 again. Destiny's ss is 4. Sunfire's safe but Destiny and Val are koed.

I'm going to feel Destiny's loss, I think.

Fabian's Perplex roll is 4. +2 but does 2 damage. damn the whole self-destructiveness of it, but I need to use it. Bishop gets a +2 to his Damage.

Bishop RS to H15. Has a go at Phoenix. I get the feeling that this'll be an attack that makes or breaks the game for me. We'll see. AV11 on DV18. Gets a 4. Destiny, where are thou?? Ugh. Bishop takes 2.

"If we can bring down Phoenix, then we'll only have Onslaught to worry about," Bishop said.

"Only," X-23 laughed ironically at his choice of adverb.

"Better than dealing with both of them. Fabian, power me up."

"You know the price," Fabian said, reaching out to him.

"I know. Do it." Juiced up by Fabian's power, Bishop ran out to take a shot at Phoenix. She absorbed even the boosted energy.

"Oh Bishop," she said. "You didn't really expect that to work on me, did you?"

[flyingicarus]

You'll miss Destiny, no doubt, but you're a long way from done here.

Onslaught on Bish, Elsa, Sunfire. Rolls 11. Geez-Louise, rolls like this you don't need. I'll give all 5 to Sunfire. At least that lets you play Elsa a bit longer.

Phoenix hss to G14 going for Apoc, Sabretooth, Bishop. Rolls 10 ( 2 5s). Apoc gets sc. Should done that before....a 5. Sabretooth gets an ss roll: 5. Yikes. 4 to Bishop after toughness. She ends in J20.

She blasts Bishop even further with her telekinetic might.

"She's a menace, this Phoenix, but just wait for me to show her," says Apocalypse, "I'll put her in her rightful place. At my feet."

Apocalypse to J/k/22/23

Fabian's Perplex is 3. Normal this time. He uses it on Sabretooth's Damage.

Sabretooth Charges to K18, attacks Phoenix, AV12 on DV18. Gets 8. Impervious is 4, so 2 to Phoenix. You get Sabretooth. I get 2 - Roulette. Well I was complaining about losing Destiny, it's true, but not sure this is the best trade off.

Sunfire taxis Bishop. M23 for Sunfire, N23 for Bishop.

"I think I'll tear that pretty face of yours right off," Sabretooth snarled, leaping on Phoenix.

"You've missed your chance at him," Roulette said to her. "Bad luck for you."

"I don't need them against you," Phoenix said, blocking his attack.

"A breather? If you think you're getting a breather, you do not know Sunfire." The Japanese mutant hit Phoenix with a wave of fire, even as she tried to use her powers to heal herself. It was enough to make her collapse with the effort of defending herself.

"That's one beaten," Fabian said.

"Do not count Phoenix out," Apocalypse said. "It is not without reason she is so named. But it will allow us to focus on Onslaught in the meantime."

Unlike the first two games, this one I'm getting my butt handed to me. Phoenix still isn't quite the killer piece she should/could be...

Not much I can do right now to turn it around, either. Onslaught on Elsa. Needs 7, rolls 10. She takes 5 but that's nothing but a distraction to you right now.

I'd hardly call this game getting your butt handed to you. Yeah, okay, I managed to Pit Phoenix, but you've also managed to basically turn my whole support team into hamburger. And in a straight one-on-one matchup between Apocalypse and Onslaught, I'd put my money on Onslaught. And besides, if the Onslaught/Apocalypse fight goes on as long as I suspect it might, you'll get Phoenix back.

Phoenix really isn't a bad piece at all. Your problem is you basically sent her in alone against a 1000 point team. It's no wonder she fell fast. She's not meant to be a tie-up piece. She's supposed to be your big gun that you protect with other tie up pieces.

Bishop Regenerates: Gets 5. That's a nice one.

Apocalypse doesn't fly, and while Giants can carry like fliers, the Colossal Size rule doesn't specifically say that they have that ability, so I'm going to have to assume he can't. I may make a slight change if I find they can and have him carry Roulette.

"You'll need to go through me first," Armor said.

"Really? Such the little hero. Very well, if you're so eager to die..." He smacked her out of the way. She flew across the roof from the force of the hit, but her mutant power protected her from taking any real damage from it.

"And now it is just you and me," Onslaught said.

"As it should be," Apocalypse nodded.

[flyingicarus]

Next time you face Armor, don't forget she has alias.

Thanks for bringing the game to me, that makes it much easier for Onslaught. He targets Apoc, Roulette and Bish. Rolls 10. Roulette rerolls 7. Apoc gets imperv roll: 2. Roulette gets 4. Seems silly perhaps but I'll ko Rou with that.

You can't Outwit Apocalypse. I gave him Fortitude - and then I realized I didn't really need to have done that because he's got a Trait that prevents you countering his powers anyway. Oh well. Protects him from Exploit Weakness I guess.

I'll cross my fingers and clear.

I thought we weren't feating our colossals as a house rule. No worries about it here.

Sabre on Apoc? Sc is 5.

Onslaught on Apoc? SC is 2. Perplexes his damage to 5. Needs 7, rolls 4.

Don't forget Armor uses her defend for Sabretooth and Onslaught.

Maybe we'd decided something of the sort last time we played them in the big games. Honestly don't recall. That was a while ago.

How I've survived this long I haven't the foggiest. Apocalypse on Onslaught though. AV11 on DV18, from Armor. Gets 8. Does enough Damage to get Onslaught to that last click of his. The conundrum being that I can't Sacrifice anyone to finish him. I have to brace for what will inevitably be a hit or two next turn (like Onslaught will miss with a 14AV), and just hope I survive and pull off a crazy high roll next turn, while dealing with the Impervious somehow. And then survive Phoenix and Sabretooth as well. Still that I've gotten this far with Onslaught is, I think, mighty damn impressive.

I think colossals, like multi-figures, shouldn't be assigned feats. We use them so rarely that it doesn't much come into play.

Good job on widdling down Onslaught. Can he attack Apoc? SC is 4. Needs 8, rolls 11. Imperv is 5. This is just ridiculously stupid.

Phoenix on Apoc? SC is 6.

Sabretooth on Apoc. SC is 2. Needs 6, rolls 7. Imperv is 3. Have to try blades again...3. 1 to Apoc.

Armor on Apoc? SC is 6. Did I say ridiculous already?

Apocalypse takes the option to continue to push, still needing the same 9. Gets 8. Such teases, those dice gods be.

Onslaught needs 3, rolls 7. Probably a turning point, that's 5 to him after invulnerable.

Apocalypse is on Outwit. He'll use it on Onslaught's Heroic Sacrifice. Won't make that 20 DV any easier to hit, but it'll at least prevent you from stealing it away with a good Impervious roll should I hit it. Apocalypse pushes on Onslaught, AV10, needs a 10. Gets a 2 instead. Wrong extreme.

Phoenix, Sabretooth, Armor roll for SC: 3, 5, 6. Can you believe that?

Phoenix on Apoc. Needs 6, rolls 9. That's 4 after toughness.

[Gargantua]

I could regenerate, but really what would that accomplish? I have one last shot at a lucky hit to take down Onslaught. It won't win me the game, but it would be a moral victory. Perlexes AV to 10, needs to get a 10 or higher. Gets 6. He's on his last click. I can't push him. Gives you two turns to ping a 16DV for 1 damage. If you can't pull that off, you may as well just concede now.

[flyingicarus]

Onslaught on Apoc. SC is 4. Anything but 2 kos him, 7 it is....

Interesting game....

Now for the exchanges...

Sabretooth and Roulette

I'll keep Sabretooth.

[Gargantua]

That's that then. I knew Onslught was going to be trouble. I consider myslf lucky that I even got him to that last click.
