Sentinels of the Multiverse Play by post edition

[abenavides]

Tachyon uses Blinding Speed to destroy River of Lava.

She then uses her base power to look at the next card in the deck.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

River of Lava is destroyed

The next card is

Spoiler

Fleet of Foot:One-Shot,Burst--Each player may draw a card. You may play a card.

You may draw or discard it.

[abenavides]

I will draw it.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Done.  It is now Ra's turn.


HP: 23
Base Power: Pyre--Ra deals 1 Target 2 Fire damage.
In Play: Imbued Fire

Imbued Fire:Ongoing,Limited--Increase all Fire Damage by 1. Change the Damage type of Damage dealt by Hero Targets to Fire. Power: Destroy this card.

[bearded]

Summon Staff, Base Power Ambuscade, draw card.

"To me, my Staff!"

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I assume you wish to play your staff with your additional play after you draw it?  You can just keep in your hand and play a different card if you wish.

In the mean time Summon Staff, in addition to drawing the Staff of Ra, also draws

Spoiler

Drawn to the Flame:Ongoing--Power: Ra deals each non-Hero Target X Fire Damage, where X = the number of Villain Ongoing cards in play.

[bearded]

I've lost track of the targets. So I will staff Ambuscade.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Okay, let me break this down for you.

Ambuscade is the only target left.

Summon staff only puts the Staff in your hand, it doesn't play it.

You get an additional card draw, which I gave you.  You get an additional card play, which you can use to play your shiny new staff.  I assume this is what you want to do, but don't wish to assume.

With the staff in play, you would now get +3 damage without having to use its power.  Using its power would do 1 more point of damage, but would destroy the staff.  This can be a valid strategy.

So do you wish to play the staff now and if you do, do you wish to use your base power or your staff power to attack Ambuscade?

[bearded]

Ok, I will use my base power, keeping the staff in play for now. Thank you.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

The Staff of Ra is now in play.  Ra regains 3 hp and is now at 26 hp

Ra hits Ambuscade for 5 damage.  He is now down to 34 hp.

You then draw

I'll put it into play and target Ambuscade.
Follow that by base power and draw card to end turn.

To illustrate his point, Legacy will then punch him in the face with a back-fist strike.

Then galvanize, then draw a card.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

You deal 6 points of damage to Ambuscade, leaving him at 23 hp.  Halfway there, folks.

You draw

Spoiler

Danger Sense:Ongoing--Legacy is immune to Damage from Environment cards.

It is now the Envionment's turn.


Cards in Play: None

Insula Primulas plays another River of Lava.

Those of you who have equipment cards out (Ra, Wraith) my destroy one to prevent the damage.  If you don't or don't have any equipment out, you receive 6 fire damage again.  Haka, Tachyon, and Legacy don't have any, so they take 6 damage each.  I'll need to know if Ra and Wraith wish to do so.

[bearded]

I will divert the lava with my staff.
Have to go to Greensboro for a couple of days. I might not have internet, dunno yet.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

So Ra will not be taking damage.  Still need word from Wraith, then we can proceed.

[Deaths Jester]

I'll dump smoke bombs to avoid the damage.

Edit:  Are we preceding or is there a problem?  Just wondering.....

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I actually posted an end of round report, but several of my posts have gotten eaten by the forums recently, and I never noticed that it didn't make it online.  Also I dismantled my decks to take them to play with actual live people and haven't pulled them out of the box yet.  Anyhow, now I'm back and ready to go.

So, Haka, Tachyon, and Wraith take 6 damage each.  Legacy and Haka have 14 damage, while Tacyon has 16.

This concludes Round 3.  Again.  Please don't eat this post this time, forum.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Tachyon quickly scouts a way around the lava, although the heat scorches the heroes.  Having crossed one perilous lava flow they immediately run into another.  Sensing an opportunity, Ambuscade leaps out to attack.  This does not turn out to be his best move.  Ra raises his hand, and form out of the sky, the Staff of Ra flies into it.  He and the other heroes they strike in perfect unison, following Legacy's orders and Ambuscade is quickly forced to retreat again.

This begins Round 4.

Effects in play:
All Heroes are doing fire damage
All Hero damage is +2
Legacy's damage is +3 (although his power bonus wears off before he can attack, so it's effectively +2)
The first damage dealt to the Wraith is reduced by 2
Abuscade's damage is +1 and he deals damage whenever a Device is destroyed

[Outcast]

I was really counting on someone like Tachyon to destroy the lava environment thus avoiding damage. Didn't thought it could play another one during it's turn and inflict damage that quickly. Anyway...

"It's no use Tachyon, you may be fast but these lava pools are too many even for you." 

guess i'll have to bring out the heavy artillery.

"Mjolnir! ....ah i mean...Taiaha! come to my aid!"  ( Haka plays Taiaha, hoping to get to do some immediate double damage to Ambuscade besides using the base power Crush.) If my calculation is correct Taiaha will do 3 melee damage plus 2 fire damage and plus 1 nemesis damage. Then Crush will do 2 melee damage plus 2 fire and hoping for another plus 1 nemesis.

"Captain......Caaaaaaaaaave Maaaaaaan!"  Then i'll draw a card.

Oh, and wasn't Ambuscade's HP at 23 after the Wraith's smoke bomb attack?

Afraid it doesn't work that way.  Taiaha will deal 3 base damage to up to 2 different targets.  Also you can only use one power during your use a power phase, which means you can either use Crush or Taiaha.  Taiaha will deal 1 more damage than Crush, so playing it is still a good move.

Oh, and wasn't Ambuscade's HP at 23 after the Wraith's smoke bomb attack?

Eh, yes.  I was just checking if you paying attention, I promise!

Aww man. Ok i'll do just that then. I really just want to lower his HP as much as i possibly can.
3 Taiaha damage, 2 Fire damage, and 1 Nemesis damage then.

Well, got confused a little bit with the beginning summary for Round 4.

It is now Ambuscade's turn.


Side:Superhuman Hunter
HP: 29 Highest Villain Target

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Technically, it's 6 Fire damage, since Imbued Fire turns all damage done into fire, but you're correct in your math, 3 from base, 1 from Imbued, 1 from Galvanized, and 1 from Nemesis.

Anyhow, Haka does 6 points of damage to Ambuscade, leaving him at 17 hp.  Sorry again about not updating his hp correctly.

[abenavides]

If I use Hypersonic Assault, would it prevent the River from doing damage to everyone for a turn?
(want to check I'm reading it right)

Or maybe my teammates would consider discarding 3 cards to kill the River?

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

The River of lava isn't a target and can't be damaged, so Hypersonic Assault won't do anything do it.  On the other hand, you are discarding the cards from the top of the your deck, not your hand, so it doesn't really cost anything to do so.  That's assuming the game even lasts that long, which according to my math it shouldn't, not unless 2 or three people miss out on damage they could do. 

[abenavides]

Ok, just keeping it simple. nimble strike to hit Ambuscade for 1
