Topic: Sentinels of the Multiverse Game 3

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Fanatic is flying over the city on patrol when she hears a disturbance.  Arriving at the edge of the city, she passes a stagecoach with no driver, its horses racing in fear as they try to outrun the raptor behind it.  Meanwhile a small group of cowboys is having a shootout against a heavily armed robot.  A rockets explodes out of the shadows, destroying the robot.  Fanatic quickly spots Expatriette taking cover behind a Greek statue.

As she lands, a mini-van pulls up, and the Sentinels pile out of it.  Having dealt with time rifts before, they were called in by the mayor to investigate.

As the six heroes gather together, another figure appears in a bright burst of light.

"Howdy.  You all seem to be having a bit of a problem here" Chronoranger states.  "What we have here is a time paradox about to happen.  Con says its a big one.  It's already messing up time bad, and it hasn't even happened yet.  We can stop it, but best keep your eyes peeled.  Whatever's about to happen should be pretty obvious."

Just then a small tear appears in the sky, and a figure falls out of it, that everyone immediately recognizes from all news footage.  It's Legacy's father, the Legacy from World War II.

"Yep, that ought to do it.  If he dies here, that would mess up time good and proper."

Legacy flies in a confusion for a moment, then flies further in toward the time disturbance.  As the heroes race to catch up, they see a floating fortress.  It is one of Baron Blade's Mobile Defense Platforms!  An energy beam is emerging from the top and the entire thing is enclosed in a glowing energy field.  A Hologram appears on the field's surface.

"Greeting, Legacy.  You can't possibly understand how delighted I am to see you here.  My father's notes, plus my own genius intellect, indicated that your brief disappearance during the war could only have resulted in your arrival here.  Finally, I will have you revenge on you for killing my father!  Or rather your would have, for you die here and now, if I have to bring down the continent to make it happen.  Which is exactly what I plan on doing.  Ha ha ha!"

Some notes on Baron Blade:

On this side, he wins if he gets 15 cards in his trash, which means is terrluna beam is done charging and he crashes the Moon into the Earth.
Knock him to 0 hp, and he flips and revives back to 30 as he hops in his power armor and takes on the heroes personally.

[Glitch Girl]

Arriving at the edge of the city, she passes a stagecoach with no driver, its horses racing in fear as they try to outrun the raptor behind it.  Meanwhile a small group of cowboys is having a shootout against a heavily armed robot.

(thinks "Hmmm... must be Tuesday.")

Fanatic dives towards the Baron.  "Yield, villain!  Or face the Wrath of Heaven itself!"

I use Brutal Censure against him (since I think he's the only target) and activate Redeem.

Does that latter part kick in before or after  Backlash Field activates?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

The Baron is currently immune to damage due to the effects of his Mobile Defence Platform. (10 hp) Would you like to attack it insead?

[Glitch Girl]

Yes.

On the plus side, I think that means that the Backlash Field doesn't go into effect yet. 

Forgot to mention that yes I do want to draw a card this round from Brutal Censure in addition to the one for Redeem.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

To answer your earlier quest, you play cards before you use powers, so the backlash field will kick in first.

Also, be it known that I have a card in my hand that will let me use a power every time the backlash field goes off, meaning I'll be able to eventually pay him back with interest every time he does that.

That knocks MDF down to 8 hp.

[Outcast]

Will Idealist's Telekinetic Jab (2 psychic damage) have any effect on Baron's Mobile Defense Platform?

If yes, I'll use that and play Fling into Darkness to reduce it 3hp (2 pyschic + 3 melee), which should completely destroy it since Writhe is still active. Then draw a card to end my turn.

If it will have no effect, i'll just use Block to Reduce damage to all Hero targets, then draw a card to end my turn. (I'd rather not play and waste any of the cards i have at the moment.)

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Damage is damage, so it would harm the platform.  You must, however, use a card before using a power, so that won't actually work.

Would you still like to just block and not play?

[Outcast]

In that case, i'll use Telekinetic Jab to weaken the mobile platform and just draw a card to end my turn.

The environment plays

Crushing Hallway: Anomaly,Trial--At the end of the Environment turn, 1 Player may discard their hand to destroy this card.At the start of the Environment turn, deal each Target 4 Melee Damage and destroy all Hero Ongoing cards.

So the question is, does anyone want to discard their hand to get rid of it before it goes off?  I'd rather not, since I have a good hand setup and would be the only one to lose an Ongoing, but it will keep hitting us every round, which would not be so good, so yeah.  I suppose I can if absolutely essential though.  Up to you guys.

[Deaths Jester]

I guess I could discard my hand because other than "Unload", I don't have anything exactly special.

[Outcast]

Since i didnt play any card during my turn, I could discard my Human Shield card. It won't feel such a waste, since it's purpose is to protect a Hero target after all.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Since i didnt play any card during my turn, I could discard my Human Shield card. It won't feel such a waste, since it's purpose is to protect a Hero target after all.

Except that you would be required to discard your entire hand not just that one card.  Doesn't matter.  DJ has volunteer, so I'll take him up on that.

Crushing Hallway is destroyed then.

For simplicy's sake, I'm not going to be typing out all the hps every time they change.  I'll just repost everyone's status instead.

Baron Blade plays

Hasten Doom: One-Shot--Baron Blade deals each Hero Target 2 Toxic Damage.Play the top card of the Villain deck.

He then plays

"Consider the Price of Victory": One-Shot--Each player discards 1 card.Baron Blade deals each Hero Target 2 Sonic Damage.Discard X cards from the top of the Villain deck, where X = the number of Hero cards discarded this turn.

So that's a total of 4 points of damage to all heroes (sorry, Sentinels) and everyone who still has a hand must pick one to discard. 

Since there are four of us with cards, he discards the top 4.  That makes 6 in his discard pile.  9 more to go.

I'll use shotgun on Blade's MDF, draw a card, and end my turn.

[Outcast]

Except that you would be required to discard your entire hand not just that one card.  Doesn't matter.  DJ has volunteer, so I'll take him up on that.

  Sorry i guess i just read too quickly and misunderstood.

He then plays

"Consider the Price of Victory": One-Shot--Each player discards 1 card.Baron Blade deals each Hero Target 2 Sonic Damage.Discard X cards from the top of the Villain deck, where X = the number of Hero cards discarded this turn.

Since there are four of us with cards, he discards the top 4.  That makes 6 in his discard pile.  9 more to go.

That's the one card that i had wished wouldn't come up since it piles up his trash/discard pile.

So that's a total of 4 points of damage to all heroes (sorry, Sentinels) and everyone who still has a hand must pick one to discard.

"Argh!" I think i'll need all the healing cards i can get. I'll discard Human Shield now.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I forgot to shoot something when Baron Blade does damage, so I hit the mdp at all.  It's only got 1 hp left.

I'll discard End of Days since I don't want to feed his discard pile. 

Then I'll play Absolution to call down the fires of heaven on the mobile platform.  Redeem should still be in effect.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Redeem and Absolution are both powers, so you can only use one or the other.  Just playing Absolution does heal you for 1 hp.

(even if you choose to use Redeem as your powers, you can still put Absolution into play for use later and will still get the healing)

[Glitch Girl]

I'll do that then. 

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

So you heal for 2 points total and draw a total of two cards

[Reepicheep]

Tough choice, but I think I'll discard Danger Sense. Bring it, environment!

With the MDP almost destroyed, I'll play Take Down (On Baron Blade, if I have to specify). "This Jerry won't get a chance to strike back! He won't know what hit him, see?"

I'll then use Gung Ho for The Sentinels. What are the implications of that in terms of healing? If I have to specify an individual, it would be The Idealist.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Yes, the Sentinels are four separate heroes, so you must pick one and only that particular one may use their power.  In terms of raw healing, Medico's the most efficient, as his power heals, so he'd heal for 1 and then could heal anyone for 3.  Idealist is fine two since it would allow idealist to kill the mdp, but would leave the Sentinels vulnerable to the Backlash field as they will be forced to hit Blade if they use several of their cards.

It's pretty much up to you though.

[Reepicheep]

I'll stick with my choice of Idealist - we'd only be in that same situation later anyway, right?

In future, with a combination of my Gung Ho and Medico's power, we can easily counteract that Backlash effect.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Backlash hurts the Sentinels more than it does anyone else due to their low hp, but we would indeed run into that next round anyway, unless we destroy it.

In any case, my bounty lets me shoot back at him whenever he backlashes, so it's all good.

So Idealist heals one and can now use a power.
