David: “Safe cracking is about to begin. Doctor Light’s flashlight is useless, and I don’t think Scarecrow is going to be able to scare the vault open. Sandman steps to the door of his vault to give it a whack.”
Mike: “David, Toad has a Caustic Phlegm Special Attack. That should help his team.”
Bob: (off camera)
David: “Sock Puppet, could you assist Bob over to the hospital, please?”
Sock Puppet: (off camera) “Ready to assist. Come on, Bob. Chin up, boy!”
Mike: “Poor Bob!”
Round 1
David: “Toad breaks through the vault, and the Loot goes to Toad.”
Mike: “Sandman is still one point shy of opening his vault.”
Round 2
Mike: “Sandman huffs and puffs, but can’t knock down the House of Bricks.”
David: “Toad heads towards the exit.”
Mike: “Sandman finally Opens Sesame and takes the Loot.”
David: “Scarecrow exits to the lobby.”
Mike: “Doctor Light heads towards the security room outside the vault room.”
David: “Count Vertigo flies to the security room.”
Round 3
David: “Count Chocula makes it to the lobby.”
Mike: “Doctor Light is in the lobby. Both teams are still in their respective banks, which are across the street from each other.”
David: “I wonder if there are any crab rangoons in those vaults. Never mind. Scarecrow reaches the entrance to his bank and lobs the Fear Gas into the lobby of the other bank!”
Mike: “That’s scary! Sandman walks away from the vault, but is still in the vault room.”
David: “Toad is almost at the lobby.”
Mike: “Doctor Light decides to remain out of the range of the Fear Gas, but is too far way to fire.”
Round 4
David: “Scarecrow tosses the Fear Gas next to Doctor Light.”
Mike: “Sandman is at the entrance to the vault room.”
David: “Count Vertigo flies to the entrance of the other bank. Doctor Light’s Blinding Light will nullify Vertigo’s abilities and prevent him from attacking at range.”
Mike: “Sandman makes it to the lobby.”
David: “The Count engages Sandman and strikes. It’s 2 wounds (3 left).”
Mike: “Doctor Light avoids the Crippling Terror and steps out of the gas to strike Scarecrow. It’s a wound (3 left)”
Round 5
David: “Scarecrow drops the Fear Gas between Doctor Light and Sandman. The Count is also in the gas. Scarecrow strikes Doctor Light, who rolls 2 fewer defense against the spooky Scarecrow. It’s 1 wound (4 left).”
Mike: “Sandman avoids the Crippling Terror and steps out of the gas to strike the Count for 1 wound (3 left). Hey, are we playing with knockback rules?”
David: “No, not while using these special battle rules. We’ll return to a setting where we’ll put it back into play. By the way, Sandman heals a wound (4 left). Count moves out of the gas and strikes Sandman. It whiffs.”
Mike: “Sandman strikes again. Oh, we’ve been forgetting his Loot bonus, and we’ve forgotten to knock away the Loot when Sandman took those wounds earlier.”
David: “I’ll probably be dead and buried by the time I reach a point where I can play a game without forgetting
something.”
Mike: “Cheer up, bud! We’re having fun!”
David: “Yes, Mike, we are. Please continue.”
Mike: “Sandman strikes the Count and scores 3 wounds for a KO! Sandman fully heals.”
David: “Scarecrow strikes a frightened Doctor. Doc blocks.”
Mike: “Sandman moves to the bank entrance and strikes Scarecrow. It’s 4 wounds and knocks the stuffing out of Scarecrow.”
David: “I wonder if the Wizard of Oz will give him that brain.”
Round 6
Mike: “Sandman moves towards the other bank.”
David: “Toad approaches Sandman, but holds at range to spit his Caustic Phlegm. He just coughs up a hairball.”
Mike: “Sandman uses Sandstorm to fly over Toad, which causes a wound (3 left). That knocks the Loot away from Toad and towards the Doc. Sandman strikes, with 3 fewer dice due to the Sandstorm but fails to hit. Pull yourself together, man! (laughs)”
David: “Toad strikes Sandman with no result.”
Mike: “The Doc takes the Loot and fires at Toad. He gets +1 for the Loot, but he also gets a +2 for firing at Toad from directly behind. I haven’t explained this part, but facing matters. Toad is currently facing Sandman, which allows Lighty Pants to attack from behind. Toad manages to block it with his big butt, I guess.”
David: “Toad pivots around Sandman and strikes. Again, it’s blocked.”
Round 7
Mike: “Sandman uses Sandstorm to pass over Toad and strikes. Blocked!”
David: “Toad is tough! He pivots around Sandman to protect his back and strikes Sandman with Caustic Phlegm. At 2 wounds (3 left), it’s certainly more effective. The Loot flies away.”
Mike: “Doctor Light enters the lobby and fires at Toad. He can see his target point now for a Sensory Assault bonus. It’s 1 wound (2 left).”
David: “Toad strikes Sandman with the Phlegm, but it’s blocked.”
Mike: “Sandman strikes Toad and flattens Frogger for good!”
David: “Sandman advances, and Metallica rejoices.”
