X-Games, Volume 5 [Archive]

Gargantua

04/09/2011, 12:01

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 6 series of 1000 point games followed by a finale using all figures from those 6 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.

"Vulcan might be a problem," Mystique pointed out.

"We should not underestimate him, I'll grant you, but I am a match for him," Magneto said confidently. "Who else?" he turned back to Vanisher, who had just done a reconnaissance run.

"Storm and the Beast. Black Panther. Spider-Man. Several others I don't recognize."

"Spider-Man?" Forge said. "That could pose a problem, what with you know who."

"I'm not deaf," Spider-Girl said. "And I don't care if my dad's on the other team. I'm not afraid to fight him."

"Aye, that's always the way with the bairns," Banshee said. "Always ready to rebel against their parents."

"True," Magneto acknowledged. "But a parent's reluctance to bring harm to their offspring may work in our favor. Spider-Man may hesitate."

"The rest of the troops are ready," Iron Man said.

"Good," Magneto said. "Then we may begin."

"Argh," Spider-Man says.

"Give it up, Web-Boy," Strong Guy replies.

"My money's on my man, Guido," Lila Cheney says.

"Mine is on Spider-Man," Empath offers.

"That hardly seems fair," Magma says, "Since you can manipulate them both."

"Who said a thing about fair, Amara dear?" he replies.

"I'm not sure this is the best way to warm up for battle," the Black Panther says watching Spider-Man and Guido arm wrestle.

"The X-Men are far different than the Avengers," Storm offers, "How would they let off steam?".

"By battling with themselves," the Beast chimes in, "I remember once when Hercules and Thor got into an argument. In a quinjet no less. They still haven't found it after it crash landed in the Hudson."

"Droll Beast, very droll," Domino laughs.

"We don't belong here. Not with these heroes," Spiral says to Vulcan.

"We bide our time, girl, and see what comes of it," he replies.

Sage interrupts them unexpectedly. "We all have our specialties to offer. Don't assume your place. You are here for a reason. Never let that out of your mind."

I suppose it's time to start paying some attention to this one. An aggressive frist move from you, as usual :)

Panther bts the dv of all X-Men by 1

That won't work, by the way. He can only use the BT on characters who share a Keyword with him. He doesn't have the X-Men Keyword. If you want to change his Feat, you may.

Mystique to E8, first Perplexing Iceman's move to 9

Vanisher to D8, using Passenger to carry Spider-Girl to C8. He takes 1 for that.

Hulkbuster taxis Bonebreaker. Hulkbuster to C9, Bonebreaker to B9

Banshee taxis Skullbuster. Sean to H7, I7 for SKully.

Iceman to A9, but moving first to B10, leaving hindering in those two squares.

Why can't Panther bt the dv of the X-Men? He's become one with his ta. We used to do that, was that a rules change to only if they share the keyword?

And laugh at my 'aggressive' move, you're just as bad moving en mass, as usual. :)

Panther will bt all X-Men unless, like you point out, he can't, then he'll up Vulcan's dv.

Storm tks Vulcan to A19.

Vulcan perplexes his av to 11. Attacks Iceman. 6 + 1, rolls 6.

"Let me say hello, Iceman," Vulcan says blasting him, "With your death!".

Iceman constructs a barrier that quickly takes the blast.

Vulcan looks shocked.

"What? You act like you're never seen an ice shield before? Sheesh!" he replies.

Map clarification - Brown squares are, as always, blocking. Between the brown square in front of him in C10 and Mystique in D9 next to him, there wouldn't be any way for Sage to get LOF to Hulkbuster. I'll give you a chance to change your move if it makes a difference.

Let's see if I can whittle down Vulcan some. Gave Mystique Brilliant Tactician, but not a lot of TA/Keyowrd sharers to get the advantage of it. She'll move to A10, Perplex Vulcan's DV down to 17.

Banshee, taxiing Skullbuster, RS to D12, dropping Skullbuster in C11, attacks Vulcan. AV10 on DV17 +1. Gets 5.

Hulkbuster, taxiing Vanisher, RS to C13, dropping Vanisher in D13, attacks Vulcan, AV10 on DV17 +1. Gets 7. You just had to put that HO in B17, didn't you?

Bonebreaker, RS to B17, attacks Vulcan. AV9 on DV17. He gets a 12. Angle's bad for Domino. Blocking Terrain's blocking her LOF. 2 to Vulcan.

Magneto taxis Forge, Magneto to A5, B5 for Forge.

Iceman to A16, dropping hindering terrain in B14. C14. Makes a Transporter attack on Vulcan. AV10 -2 on DV17. Gets 9. Cool. 1 more to Vulcan.

Not the huge crushing on Vulcan that I was hoping for, but at least I salvaged something in the end.

"Concentrate all your firepower on Vulcan," Magneto ordered. "Once he falls, the others will collapse like a house of cards."

"I don't know about that, Ororo," the Beast said. "You would think after fighting us and getting his helmet handed to him for years, that he would stop underestimating the X-Men."

"I won't complain, Hank. His underestimating us always makes beating him that much easier," Storm replied.

"You have a valid argument there. Insightful as always."

"Move people! You heard what Magneto said!" Iron Man said, leading the assault. Vulcan brought up an energy shield that deflected Iron Man's repulsors and Banshee's sonic scream, but that weakened it enough that Bonebreaker's blaster shot was able to finally break it, enabling Iceman to move in with an ice spear.

"You've purchased your deaths," Vulcan threatened them.

"I don't suppose I can get mine on layaway," Iceman joked.

"Hiya guy, I hear yer called Bonebreaker. Never had a good code name myself so how about you call me Ballbreaker?" Guido says starting an assault on the Reaver.

"How about I call you Ballbusted?" he replies.

"Now now, boys, let's be nice. There could be little ears around," Spider-Man says leaping onto Bonebreaker and kicking him. "Take that, #####! Oops....did I just say that?".

"I do not need or want you to defend me," insists Vulcan, "Let this one be the first to fall!". With one hit the Reaver is felled.

"I'll get him!" Spider-Girl said impulsively and swung at Vulcan.

"Spider-Girl! No! He's too powerful for you!" Forge called after her.

"You should have listened to him," Vulcan said, catching her even as she leapt at him.

"May! No!" Spider-Man gasped.

"Don't make me question your loyalty, Spider-Man," Vulcan cautioned him.

"Crud, I can't get a shot at him now," Skullbuster complained.

"Sage," Mystique suggested. "Her intel is at least as dangerous as Vulcan's power."

"Huh. If you say so," Skullbuster said, not sounding entirely convinced, but mayhem was mayhem, after all. He rounded the rock and got a shot off at Sage before she could react to him.

"Tessa, you ok, girl?" the Beast asks.

"What about you?" Mystique asked.

"Ye don't have to worry about me," Banshee said, hitting Spider-Man with a point-blank sonic scream that caused the Wall-Crawler to black out.

"Guess not," Iron Man said. "Okay then." He flew at Vulcan. For all his strength though, he didn't seem to faze Vulcan in the least.

"Damn. I can't get to Vulcan," Magneto complained. "Well, I can get rid of his minions."

"This is the end of the line for me, boys, I've got to join our other teams. A rock and roll teleporter's work is never done," Lila Cheney says, "Still, I have a gift for you. Enjoy!".

Spiral lands next to Hulkbuster, Spider-Girl and Iceman.

"Gulp!" Iceman says.

"Gulp?" asks Spider-Girl.

"Yup," he replies, "Gulp!".

Meanwhile Empath tries his influence over Hulkbuster. "Hi there big not-so-lean Hulk fighting machine. Let's see about your switching sides."

Hulkbuster will have none of it, though. "Sorry kid. Don't you think I'd be prepared against a team known for its telepaths? Armor's resistant to mind control."

"Then maybe we'll just get have to get through the armor," Empath proposes.

Spidey was too far away for Panther to help him. BT still has the same limits as Perplex, 10 range and must have LOF. Spidey was 12 squares away. Still, I can see I'm going to have to deal with the Panther at some point. He doesn't seem to actually be on the map though. G24 is empty.

Let's see about neutering Spiral before she can go all cuisinart on my team. Iceman on her, AV10 on DV16 (where she is Panther's got no LOF to her) Gets 4 anyway.

Mystique on Spiral, Perplexing her range to 7, AV10 on DV16 +1. Gets 8. 1 to her after Toughness.

Pushing Hulkbuster on VUlcan, AV10 on DV18. Gets the 8 this time. Redeems himself. Pity he used his object up already. Still 3 to Vulcan. I'll take it.

"I'm not done with you yet, Vulcan," Iron Man said. "Would someone get Spiral off my back?"

"No problem, I can..." Iceman started, trying to ice her up, but she kept breaking the ice with her swords before it could fully solidify. "...or maybe I can't."

"Leave it to someone who's actaully capable," Mystique said, hitting the six-armed witch with her blaster.

"And so, the Beast shows himself at last. A fatal mistake," Magneto said, using his powers to slam the Beast into the rock wall behind him with bone-jarring force.

"So noted," the Beast said weakly.

"Traitorous witch!" Skullbuster said, firing at Mystique.

"Forget her!" Spider-Girl said, "We need to bring down Vulcan!" Spider-Girl put her all into one last ditch attempt on the Shi'ar emperor. Simply getting through his defenses exhausted the last of her strength, but it also drained most of what was left of Vulcan's power.

"Rest well, Spider-Girl," Magneto said, magnetically lifting her limp form to safety. "Your efforts will be honored."

"I saw someone...in the corner near the wall," the Panther points out.

"Vanisher!" says Storm. Her eyes glow and a sudden rainstorm with hurricane winds reveal him.

"Surrender...I surrender....!" the Vanisher begs.

"I do not take prisoners, Vanisher," Storm says angrily as the winds knock him into the rock.

"My, my, my....aren't we getting tough in our old age?" Mystique taunts.

"What's the matter Mystique," Domino asks, "Jealous?".

"Balk all you like," she replies, "And weed through all of his allies. We're wasting our time if we aren't hitting Magneto right now."

"Goddess, I know she's right," Ororo says to T'Challa, "Let's hope she'll grant us the chance to get to him."

Damn. Good turn for you. Maybe I'm being alarmist, but I'm starting to see this game slip away from me too. A couple bad trades, and now your numerical advantage is growing. I've got a full-strength Magneto, I know, so I'm trying not to panic too much, but most of your force is still potent and to be reckoned with while mine's starting to fall apart.

Anyway, my turn for a position clarification. Beast's still on the map, but not on your recap. He should still be in it. The reports of his KO were greatly exaggerated. He was in D18, now you're showing Hulkbuster there, but there's an unidentified figure in D17. Could that be HB?

Yeah, sorry dude. Still, I think you're underestimating yourself. Magneto's pretty tough (although he really should be better than this version even).
Alone he can take a few of these guys easily. One good roll and you get Hulkbuster back...

Anyhoo...Spiral on Magma who should show 3 damage. Needs 7, rolls 6. Has flurry: rolls 7. 2 more to Amara but she only improves.

"Child, all your power is nothing to mine," Vulcan said, looking down at the now exhausted Magma. "This is a mercy. Really," he said. putting her out.

"You've made a grave tactical error coming against me with swords, Spiral," Magneto said, yanking the blades out of her hands with his powers, reversing them and impaling her with them.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are! I know you, Beast, and I know how to hit you," Hulkbuster says lunging at him.

The Beast merely leaps out and avoids him, "Do tell."

"Stark, I always thought you were smart. But you betray me while wearing a suit made of metal," Magneto observed. "That is the height of folly."

"Okay, granted. Maybe not the best timing," Iron Man said, as Magneto used his powers to crush, toss about, and tear his armor to pieces, all at the same time.

"And you should know from our days in Freedom Force not to cross me," Mystique said, shooting Spiral and taking her down.

And you were worried? You're doing pretty well here. And still got a full strength Magneto in reserve, too.

I'm convinced the Beast is key here. Trouble is, I can't hit the darned guy! Strong Guy needs a 9 to hit Forge and a 10 for Beast. I don't feel lucky at all so Forge it is...10 ( 2 5s). Damnit! I mean, yeah I hit Forge and hard but geez, why didn't I pick on Beast. Forge takes 5 and kb to B7. He's hanging by a thread but still around...

"Go on, Strong Guy, you're hanging on my a thread. Go ahead, try something," Forge says with both a blaster and magic at the ready.

Strong Guy whallops the mutant and nearly takes him down. "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated, as the saying goes."

"Tell me about it," Forge says, barely able to get up.

Ha! You've fallen into my trap! Forge has Leadership now! Oooh, you're in trouble. ;)

Actually, if it is any consolation, Strong Guy would have needed an 11 to hit Beast, 7 on DV16 +2.

I see we both seem to be having the same idea, focusing on the remaining X-Games and the last Obelisk game to get some closure on this.

And yeah, things are starting to turn more my way now. It was far from a sure thing though. ANd you still have some good, untouched figures on your side - Storm, Domino, Black Panther.

Now, should I have Beast try to eliminate Strong Guy or weaken Hulkbuster more. Despite Strong Guy's higher potential damage output, I can't help but think he's unlikely to pull off another 10, and besides you can't push him next turn without KOing him. Hulkbuster does slightly less damage, but has a better chance of hitting and will certainly get a chance to go next turn, so I'll go for him. AV11 on DV16 +1. Gets 6. That's 2 to Hulkbuster after Toughness and as a bonus, it was doubles so KB to A17

"Alas, Iron Man, though it pains me to engage is fisticuffs with a fellow Avenger, circumstances dictate that we must be adversaries," the Beast said. "Perhaps it will be less offensive if I make it footsicuffs instead." He leapt up into the trees and grabbing a low-hanging branch, swung from it, kicking Iron Man in the head. After Magneto's assault leaving him wobbly, Iron Man staggered backwards.
