Who wants tea?

[IAmBatman]

Hot lava tea?

[Longy418]

Scalding tea. Does luke-warm Burt's Beer help with the burn? Thanks for all the entertainment Davidlhsl.

[SirGalahad]

Since, I can't -- Will somebody please +rep this david guy?!?

Great stuff as always.

[IAmBatman]

Sure, why not? Can't get enough of the guy.

David: “Monkey Fever is about to begin, Sports Fans! Me David. He Bob!”

Bob: “Thanks, David. We’ve seen a ton of C3G designs hit the battlefield in this thread, but you’re swinging for the bleachers this time.”

David: “What?!!”

Bob: “You don’t know what I’m referring to, do you?”

David: “Not really.”

Bob: “Stop the presses, ladies and gentle-gents! I’ve come up with a reference that David doesn’t understand!”

David: “Oh, wait. Swinging for the bleachers – that’s a baseball reference. I wasn’t sure what you were talking about for a moment.”

Bob: “In your face. Ha, and you call yourself a ‘Sports Fan.’”

David: “I don’t really watch a lot of sports.”

Bob: “And you call yourself a man.”

David: “Shall I make a bunch of lewd jokes?”

Bob: “No, I don’t think our viewers would appreciate it. Anyway, you’ve drafted eight teams.”

David: “Oh, yes! See, there are several C3G designs I haven’t played. I recently put some of Matt Helm’s and Sherman Davies’ customs into action that haven’t been played. We’ve had a lot of fun with that. So I’ve drafted eight teams that will feature C3G designs that I haven’t put into action. Our first battle will pit our first teams together, so let’s go down onto the Dark Dimension battlefield and crank the fun to 11!!!”

Bob: “What?”

David: “Back at ya, Bob! You mean to tell me you didn’t catch my reference to Spinal Tap?”

Bob (laughs): “I wave my white flag and surrender, David. Let’s get started.”

Off-camera announcer: “This first of three exciting battles is brought to you by the good folks at Burt’s Beer. Burt’s Beer: C3G cranks out fun designs faster than you can play them. Burt’s brews beer faster than you can puke it!”

Team Monkey Business vs Team Man Show (Rounds 1-3)

Spoiler Alert!

Bob: “Ok, Mr. Mxy targets Gorilla Grodd for his Antagonizing Trickster ability. Each time Grodd takes a turn, he has to roll the d20 to see if he can continue the turn or take a wound instead. David, if you even think about flinging poo on me, you’re a dead man!”

David: “Wouldn’t think of it. We have 5 Toxic Waste barrels on the map. They are on lava field spaces. However, they will not check for lava field damage as long as they remain in their original locations. However, it they are tossed or otherwise relocated, they are subject to normal terrain rules.”

Round 1
Bob: “Multiple Man is first. D20=2, which means that only 1 can take the turn. He steps forward.”

David: “He’s an Army of One, isn’t he? Gorilla City Warriors (GCW) bond to their other Simians, so expect them to give a bonding turn to any of their other heroes during this battle. Also, Solovar will field the X order marker during the game to give the Simians +1 move and +1 defense due to Simian Inspiration.

“First, the GCW move forward. Gorilla-Man marches forward.”

Bob: “Plastic Man moves ahead. Since he doesn’t attack, he’ll Bounce-N-Stretch ahead another 4 spaces.”

David: “GCW on the move, followed by Gorilla-Man.”

Bob: “Plastic Man Bounces towards a group of approaching GCW, picks up a nearby Toxic Waste Barrel, and tosses it next to the monkeys. With 2 life, the barrel rolls 2 dice: 1sk. Check for damage: no damage to anyone or the barrel.”

David: “And you didn’t want me flinging poo! Already, you’re flinging Toxic Waste! (laughs) Ok, a GCW tosses the Barrel back at Plastic Man: 1sk. No damage. Two GCW engage Plastic Man and attack with +1 Telepathic Troop bonus. 2sk vs 2sh/2sk. 3sk vs 2sh/3sk = 1w (4 left). Gorilla-Man marches forward, but he’s out of range.”

Bob: “It’s the end of the round, but the tossed Toxic Barrel was tossed onto lava field by the GCW. We need to check lava field damage: 0sk.”

Round 2
Bob: “Plastic Man strikes one of the GCW. The GCW receive +1 defense due to Solovar’s Inspiration. 2sk vs 0sh/4sk = KO! (8 remaining)”

David: “The GCW next to Plastic Man strikes. 1sk vs 5sh/1sk. Gorilla-Man takes the center hill and fires at Plastic Man with his Machine Gun. 2sk vs 4sh. Plastic Man has a special type of ranged counter strike called I’m Rubber, but it only applies to normal attacks. Gorilla-Man tosses the nearby Toxic Barrel at the Barrel next to Plastic Man. He’s hoping to trigger a chain reaction. No damage, but we now have two barrels sitting on lava field!”

Bob: “Time to send Wonder Man into action. He flies forward.”

David: “GCW on the march. One strikes Plastic Man. 2sk vs 6sh/0sk. No knockback due to the edge of the map. Another GCW picks up one of the barrels and tosses it next to the barrel for another shot at a chain reaction. 1sk. Nothing. Gorilla-Man fires his Machine Gun at one of the barrels to see if that will trigger a chain reaction. As long as he inflicts a wound with his Machine Gun, he can continue attacking a different figure until he fails to score a wound. 3sk vs 1sh = Ka-BOOM! That will trigger a Chemical Burn roll against the adjacent barrel. It’s a skull, which delivers 1w on the barrel (1 left). That triggers a Chemical Burn roll on Plastic Man! 1sk = 1w on Plastic Man (3 left). Since Gorilla-Man scored a wound, he can fire again. Gorilla-Man targets the Toxic Barrel: 2sk vs 1sh = Ka-BOOM! Plastic Man doesn’t take any Chemical Burn damage this time. Gorilla-Man can continue attacking, so fires at Plastic Man! 2sk vs 3sh. What a turn!!!”

Bob: “Man, these destructible object rules are fantastic! Plastic Man strikes the nearby GCW. 3sk vs 1sh/2sk = KO! (7 remaining)”

David: “Two GCW engage Plastic Man and attack. 3sk vs 1sh/4sk = 2w (1 left) 2sk vs 0sh/3sk = KO! That’s a wrap on Plastic Man! They opt not to bond to any of their heroes. They want Gorilla-Man to hold position, they don’t want to advance Solovar due to his value in passing his Inspiring bonus to the rest of the troops, and Gorilla Grodd’s turn is very risky due to Mr. Mxy.”

Round 3
Bob: “Wonder Man flies forward and strikes up at a GCW. 3sk vs 1sh/5sk = KO! (6 remaining)”

David: “I’m losing my monkeys! GCW advance, and one strikes down at Wonder Man. 2sk vs 3sh/0sk = 0w and 2 knockback. Wonder Man slams into a rock outcrop, but takes no damage. Gorilla-Man fires his Machine Gun down at Wonder Man. 2sk vs 0sh = 2w? Ionic Imbalance roll = 6 = wounds reduced to 1w (5 left). Wonder Man is awesome!”

Bob: “I agree. Multiple Man rolls a 1 on the d20, which means only 1 can take a turn. Geez, this guy is completely whiffing his rolls. One steps forward and wonders if he’ll ever wake up his other guys.”

David: “Now you know how I feel when I play the Fantastic Four. Three GCW engage Wonder Man and attack with +2 Telepathic Troop bonus! That’s nasty, but they really need to be careful of Wonder Man’s Ionic Imbalance. 4sk vs 2sh/1sk = 2w? d20=17=no damage, and all adjacent figures take a wound!!! That wipes out all three GCW (3 remaining). This is awesome on so many levels!!!”

Bob: “If you think that’s something, you should see what happens when Wonder Man is around Common Humans.”

David: “Ok, I guess it’s up to Gorilla-Man. He takes lava field next to Wonder Man and strikes down. 2sk vs 2sh/2sk.”

Bob: “Wonder Man walks around Gorilla-Man and strikes down. 7sk vs 2sh/1sk = KO! However –“

David: “Uh oh. I don’t want to look.”

Bob: “That’s correct. There is the matter of Gorilla-Man’s Curse. We roll the d20. If it’s 13 or less, you destroy the attacker and replace it with Gorilla-Man. Gorilla-Man would go to the other side, but Team Man Show would prefer to keep Wonder Man. D20=5! That wipes out Wonder Man, and Gorilla-Man joins the other side! All of the Multiple Men groan loudly.”

David (laughs): “That’s the first thing those guys have done together in this battle. Now the remaining GCW move. Then they give a bonding turn to Gorilla Grodd. D20=10, and Grodd avoids damage from Mr. Mxy. Grodd marches forward.”

Bob: “What an amazing battle! I can’t wait to see what happens next!”

Team Monkey Business vs Team Man Show (Rounds 4-End)

Spoiler Alert!

Round 4
Bob: “Gorilla-Man turns on his former team mates! He takes to the center hill, but the opponents are too far away.”

David: “The monkeys are none too happy. The GCW march towards Gorilla-Man. One picks up a nearby Toxic Barrel and tosses it at Gorilla-Man. 1sk. Gorilla-Man blocks, but the Toxic Barrel takes a wound (1 left), triggering Chemical Burn. Gorilla-Man takes a wound (4 left). Gorilla-Grodd once again avoids Mr. Mxy’s tricks and moves into the shadows for protection. He picks up a nearby Toxic Barrel and tosses it next to Gorilla-Man. 1sk. Only the tossed Barrel takes damage, but that triggers Chemical Burn. Gorilla-Man takes a wound (3 left). The other barrel goes Ka-BOOM!!! That’ll trigger another Chemical Burn roll! Gorilla-Man avoids damage, but the originally thrown barrel goes Ka-BOOM!!! (laughs) Ok, one final Chemical Burn roll for Gorilla-Man. Gorilla-Man takes a wound (2 left). There’s only one Toxic Barrel remaining, but it’s way over towards Team Man Show.”

Bob: “Multiple Man rolls 18, which allows 7 to take a turn. Finally!!! They’re really too far from the action, but at least several are able to advance.”

David: “Three GCW swarm Gorilla-Man and strike with +2. First strikes down. 1sk vs 2sh/1sk. Second strikes, hoping to knock him into molten lava. 3sk vs 3sh/0sk = 3 knockback spaces. That knocks Gorilla-Man down into molten lava. D20=2=KO!!! What about the Curse? Well, that is tested when Gorilla-Man is destroyed by a normal or special attack. Here, Gorilla-Man is destroyed by lava. So that destroys Gorilla-Man for good. They pass bonding to Grodd, who is still safe from Mr. Mxy. Perhaps Mr. Mxy is sleeping. Grodd climbs out of the shadows.”

Bob: “Gorilla-Man loses the turn.”

David: “Grodd takes the final turn. He placed the OM on his card to possibly use Cognizant Control. He takes the center hill, but his Cognizant Control only works against Unique Heroes. He was planning to use it to control Gorilla-Man if he had survived. The only Unique Hero on the board other than himself is Solovar. At the end of the round, the GCW on top of the lava field is KO from the heat (2 remaining). Bananas Foster, anyone?”

Round 5
David: “Monkeys finally win initiative. GCW advance. They bond to Solovar, who marches forward.”

Bob: “3 Multiple Men take the turn. They strike down at the GCW. 2sk vs 3sh. 2sk vs 1sh = KO! (1 remaining) 1sk vs 1sh.”

David: “My monkey looks so lonely! He strikes up at one of the Multiple Men. 0sk. I guess his heart just isn’t in this. He passes bonding to Solovar, who advances.”

Bob: “3 Multiple Men go into action, and two strike down on the poor GCW. 4sk vs 2sh = KO! (0 remaining)”

David: “Gorilla Grodd has the OM, but Mr. Mxy rolls a 19! Grodd takes a wound (4 left) and must end his turn.”

Bob: “3 Multiple Men move. One strikes Grodd. 1sk vs 1+1sh (Psychokinetic Defense auto-shield).”

Round 6
David: “Grodd is once again hurt by Mr. Mxy. 1w (3 left) and the turn ends.”

Bob: “Mr. Mxy is almost as annoying as you, David. 3 Multiple Men move. Two strike Grodd. 1sk blocked by the special defense. 3sk vs 2+1sh.”

David: “Grodd is finally free to attack. He strikes one of the Multiple Men. 2sk vs 0sh/2sk = KO! (no Dupes/8 remaining) Grodd rolls for Cognizant Control = 13+2 (for his wounds) = 15, which is one short of the 16 needed to give a Control turn to Solovar.”

Bob: “5 Multiple Men move. 4 strike Grodd. 2sk vs 4+1sh. 1sk blocked. 3sk vs 2+1sh. 3sk vs 3+1sh. Grodd is going to be difficult to take down!”

David: “Grodd strikes a Multiple Man. 3sk vs 0sh = KO! D20=18, which triggers Dupes 17. The Multiple Man attack avoids damage, and the one previously destroyed is placed next to him (9 remaining). Grodd rolls 14+2=16, which is enough to give Cognizant Control turn to Solovar. Solovar crosses the shadows.”

Bob: “5 Multiple Men move. All 5 next to Grodd hold and strike. 1sk blocked. 1sk blocked. 1sk blocked. 1sk blocked. 1sk blocked.”

Round 7
Bob: “3 Multiple Men go. One breaks engagement with Grodd safely and takes height on Solovar. He strikes down on Solovar. 2sk vs 2sh. Two strike Grodd. 0sk. 2sk vs 1+1sh.”

David: “Grodd takes another wound from Mr. Mxy (2 left).”

Bob: “Only one Multiple Man can go, so the one next to Solovar strikes down. 3sk vs 0sh = 3w (2 left). When Solovar takes a wound, his Simian Inspiration bonus expires for the round.”

David: “Solovar climbs level with Multiple Man and strikes. 1sk vs 0sh/2sk = KO! D20=19, which cancels the KO! (9 remaining)”

Bob: “Man, we’ve got quite a battle! 5 Multiple Men strike. One breaks engagement with Grodd, but the engagement strike takes him down (8 remaining). One strikes Solovar. 2sk vs 2sh. Three strike Grodd. 0sk. 1sk blocked. 2sk vs 3+1sh.”

David: “Grodd avoids Mr. Mxy and strikes. 2sk vs 0sh = KO! (7 remaining) Cognizant Control succeeds, and Solovar takes the turn to strike Multiple Man. 2sk vs 0sh = KO! (6 remaining).”

Round 8
Bob: “David, we’ve got a Battle Royale! 5 Multiple Men swing into action. Two strike Grodd. 0sk. 2sk vs 2+1sh.”

David: “Grodd strikes a Multiple Man. 4sk vs 0sh = KO! Dupes 17 succeeds, and one of the destroyed Multiple Men returns to the game (7 remaining). We’ve got a Marathon battle! Cognizant Control barely succeeds, and Solovar joins the action on the center hill to strike a Multiple Man. 3sk vs 2sh = KO! (6 remaining)”

Bob: “All 6 Multiple Men act. One strikes up at Solovar. 1sk vs 1sh. Another strikes down at Solovar, hoping to remove his Inspiring bonus for the round. 1sk vs 1sh. The final strike is at Solovar. 1sk vs 0sh = 1w (1 left). That’ll cancel Simian Inspiration for the round.”

David: “Solovar strikes down. 2sk vs 0sh = KO! (5 remaining) Dupes almost succeeds!”

Bob: “Mr. Mxy decides to take a turn. He’s likely the only one who can land a wound on Grodd.”

David: “Solovar strikes a Multiple Man. 2sk vs 1sh = KO! (4 remaining) The Multiple Man on the lava field is KO! (3 remaining)”

Round 9
David: “Grodd approaches one of the Multiple Men and strikes up. 3sk vs 2sh = KO! (2 remaining) Cognizant control fails.”

Bob: “The two Multiple Men move. One strikes up at Solovar. 3sk vs 2sh = KO! The other strikes down at Grodd. 0sk.”

David: “Grodd climbs level with Multiple Man and strikes. 3sk vs 1sh = KO! (1 remaining)”

Bob: “Mr. Mxy takes the lava hill and fires down at Grodd. He can’t be destroyed, so lava is no worry for Mxy. 1sk blocked.”

David: “Solovar loses the turn.”

Bob: “Multiple Man approaches Grodd.”

Round 10
Bob: “Mr. Mxy fires down. 4sk vs 1+1sh = KO! That’s the game!”

David: “What an amazing battle! I can’t wait to see which teams will take the field in our next exciting battle!”

Pam: “Game 2 is about to begin! I’m Pam, and Mike joins me. Bob and David have the night off.”

Mike: “We’re still here at Dark Dimension, where another two teams will battle. Toxic Waste Barrels have been returned, and they are filled with Burt’s Beer!”

Pam: “That’s pretty toxic, Mike. David has randomly selected two more teams from the ones he’s drafted, and we’ll get to see Ghost Rider roar into action!”

Mike: “I’m looking forward to it!”

Bob: “You won’t have to wait long, because they’re on the field and ready to battle!”

Off-camera announcer: “This second of three exciting battles is brought to you by the good folks at Burt’s Beer. Burt’s Beer wishes it could be as exciting as C3G!”

Team Angels and Demons vs. Team Kree (Rounds 1-3)

Spoiler Alert!

Mike: “Is that it for our banter? I was hoping for some more banter.”

Pam: “We’ll catch up with each other during the battle.”

Mike: “Pam, I see that Ronan has chosen Zauriel to be the Accused. This gives Ronan a Special Attack that can only be used against him.”

Pam: “This should be an interesting battle.”

Round 1
Mike: “I’ll report for Team Kree. A Kree Scout moves forward, then gives a bonding turn to another Kree Scout. He joins his team mate.”

Pam: “Green Arrow (Connor Hawke) has a long range of 8, though Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) can shoot even farther. Green Arrow steps forward. This is a very long map, so he can’t fire at the moment.”

Mike: “A Kree Scout uses Kree Tactical Teleportation to bring Ronan and a Kree Scout next to him. He then gives a bonding turn to a Scout, who crosses the shadow and up onto a hill. He fires at the Toxic Barrel on the side of the map. 3sk vs 2sh = 1w (1 left). I guess he doesn’t like Burt’s Beer!”

Pam: “It’s more that he doesn’t want it available to Ghost Rider or Zauriel to throw. Daredevil advances.”

Mike: “Kree Scout who shot at the Barrel advances to fire a shot up at Daredevil. 2sk vs d20=13. That d20 is for Daredevil’s Radar Sense 12, and he avoids the attack. Daredevil also gets to spring forward using his Radar Sense. Scout gives bonding turn to Ronan, who flies forward.”

Pam: “Green Arrow climbs up and fires down at the Kree Scout who shot at Daredevil. 2sk vs 1sh = KO! (5 remaining)”

Round 2
Pam: “Daredevil advances.”

Mike: “Kree Scout takes a hill next to Ronan and fires down at maximum range at Daredevil. Being next to Ronan, he’ll receive +1 to his attack from Ronan’s Kree Tactician. 2sk vs d20=1=no Radar/2sh. Kree bonds to Ronan, who flies next to a Toxic Barrel and tosses it down at Daredevil. Daredevil’s Radar Sense doesn’t work against the Barrel, as nobody actually controls it. 1sk vs 1sh. The Barrel rolls 2sh.”

Pam: “Green Arrow steps forward off the hill and into the shadows for protection. He fires up at Ronan. 0sk.”

Mike: “Kree Scout uses Teleportation to bring two of his friends next to him from the start zone. He fires down at Daredevil. 1sk vs d20=9/1sh. Daredevil is blocking, but his Radar Sense isn’t very effective at the moment. He gives a bonding turn to Ronan, who flies to the center hill. He’s passing an opportunity to strike Daredevil!”

Pam: “Mike, I think he’s got his eyes on Zauriel at the far end of the battlefield!”

Mike: “Oh, yeah! Ronan picks up the nearby Toxic Barrel, and tosses it down next to the other Barrel and Daredevil. 0sk, so no need to roll defense.”

Pam: “Daredevil walks around the Barrels and reaches Ronan. He strikes up at Ronan. 2sk vs 2sh.”

Mike: “Kree Scout uses Teleportation to bring two Scouts next to him. All five Scouts are clustered together. The Scout fires down at Daredevil. 2sk vs d20=1/0sk = 2w (2 left). He bonds to Ronan, who strikes down at Daredevil. 2sk vs d20=10/3sh/1sk = 1 knockback space. Daredevil slams into an elevation change and takes a wound (1 left).”

Round 3
Mike: “Kree Scout fires down at Daredevil. 1sk vs d20=19=Radar Sense! Daredevil springs away. He bonds to another Kree Scout, who joins Ronan on the hill for a +1 attack/defense bonus. The Scout fires at Daredevil. 3sk vs d20=16=Radar. Daredevil jumps to an adjacent space.”

Pam: “Green Arrow holds position in the shadows and fires up at the Scout next to Ronan. 1sk vs 1sh.”

Mike: “Kree Scout next to Ronan climbs onto the lava field hill in the center to get height advantage in addition to the bonus from Ronan. He fires down at Daredevil. 3sk vs d20=4/2sh = KO! Kree Scouts are Common, so Daredevil won’t factor into Ghost Rider’s Penance Stare. Bonding goes to Ronan, who flies to the hill next to Green Arrow and strikes. Green Arrow will get +1 shield with his Close Combat Expert ability. 2sh vs 3+1sh/1sk = 1 knockback space. Green Arrow slams into the hill behind him, but takes no damage.”

Pam: “Green Arrow breaks engagement, taking no damage, to take height on Ronan. However, he fires his arrow at the Kree Scout in the center. 1sk vs 2sh.”

Mike: “The Kree Scout steps down off the lava field and fires at Green Arrow. 2sk vs 2sh. He bonds to Ronan, who lands behind Green Arrow and strikes. 2sk vs 1+1sh/1sk = 1 knockback space down into the shadows.”

Pam: “Zauriel answers the call and lands on the lava field space above Ronan. You just know Zauriel is going to give Ronan a clever quip before he strikes! Let’s hear what he has to say to his accuser.”

Zauriel: “Spring hopes eternal!”

Mike: “That sucked.”

Pam: “Yeah, let’s see if his attack is any better. Zauriel’s Sword of Holy Flame allows him to count each blank rolled as a skull! 5sk vs 2sh/3sk = 3w (3 left) and 2 knockback spaces. At the end of the round, Zauriel avoids lava field damage.”

Mike: “Pam, this is really an action filled battle so far.”

Pam: “Team Kree definitely has the advantage in this matchup, but the other team is hanging in there. Will they be able to prevail, or will Team Kree take command? Stay tuned!”

Mike: “Wait! Before we go, could you answer that question?”

Pam: “The battle is still in progress, Mike.”

Mike: “So I guess we’ll wait for the action to continue.”

Pam: “Sounds like a plan!”

[davidlhsl]

Team Angels and Demons vs. Team Kree (Rounds 4-End)

Spoiler Alert!

Round 4
Mike: “Kree get the initiative. The Scout uses Teleportation to bring two of his friends onto the hill with him. He fires down at Green Arrow in the shadows. 2sk vs 0sh = 2w (2 left). He passes bonding to Ronan. Ronan takes the lava field above Zauriel. As Zauriel is his Accused, Ronan uses his Universal Weapon Special Attack. This allows Ronan to knock Zauriel down into the shadows. That will give Zauriel +1 defense, but Ronan has a plan.”

Pam: “Oh, crap! I see his plan. See that molten lava? If Ronan can somehow keep Zauriel in range of that lava, he can engage him and use his Universal Weapon to knock him into the Hot Lava Death!”

Mike: “OUCH! Ronan uses his Weapon to fire down at Zauriel. 4sk vs 5sh!”

Pam: “Oh, dear. Green Arrow has the first turn. He fires a desperate shot up at Ronan. 2sk vs 3sh. If he could only get a wound through, he could’ve rolled the d20 for Piercing Shot. That could’ve added more wounds.”

Mike: “Kree Scout fires down at Green Arrow. 3sk vs 0sh = KO! Once again, the Scouts are denying Ghost Rider bonuses for his Penance Stare. Now for the dreaded bond with Ronan. Ronan steps down next to Zauriel and uses his Universal Weapon to knock Zauriel into the molten lava. Here comes the d20 for lava death: 4! That’s a KO! Since it’s the lava that destroyed Zauriel, Ghost Rider is once again denied the Penance Stare bonus.”

Pam: “Zauriel had the other turns, so go ahead.”

Mike: “Kree Scout moves forward, then bonds to Ronan. Ronan steps off the lava field.”

Round 5
Pam: “Before Initiative was rolled, Ronan selected Ghost Rider as the Accused. Ghost Rider roars into action. Ghost Rider is immune to the effects of lava and roars to the lava field above Ronan. The Penance Stare roll is simply too high for him to try it instead of simply attacking. 4sk vs 2sh/3sk = 2w (1 left). Edge of map prevents knockback.”

Mike: “A Kree Scout climbs up onto lava field and fires at Ghost Rider. 2sk vs 3sh. He bonds to Ronan, who climbs up and uses his Universal Weapon to knock Ghost Rider off the hill. He fires down. 2sk vs 1sh = 1w (6 left).”

Pam: “Ghost Rider rides up level with Ronan and strikes. 3sk vs 1sh/2sk = KO! That takes care of his Accuser. Ghost Rider picks up the nearby Toxic Barrel and tosses it at the nearby Kree Scout. 1sk vs 2sh. No damage to the Barrel.”

Mike: “The Kree Scout on the center hill uses Teleportation to pull back the Scout who avoided the Barrel. He also brings Capt. Mar-vell next to him. He then fires up at Ghost Rider. 2sk vs 1sh = 1w (5 left). He gives bonding to Capt. Mar-vell, who flies forward and fires up at Ghost Rider. 2sk vs 4sh.”

Pam: “Ghost Rider uses his Hellfire Motorcycle to roar through the molten lava up to the lava hill in the center. He strikes down at a Kree. 4sk vs 2sh/1sk = KO! (4 remaining)”

Mike: “A Kree Scout fires up at Ghost Rider, hoping for more attrition damage. 2sk vs 3sh is too weak. Mar-Vell takes the bonding turn, and he really needs to watch where he lands to prevent getting knocked into that lava. The strip of land at the edge of the map is perfectly safe, and he fires up at Ghost Rider. 2sk vs 2sh.”

Round 6
Pam: “Ghost Rider strikes another Kree Scout. 6sk vs 0sh = KO! (3 remaining)”

Mike: “The Kree Scout fires up at Ghost Rider. 2sk vs 4sh. Bonding to Mar-Vell, who fires up. 4sk vs 1sh = 3w (2 left)! Yikes!”

Pam: “Mike, Capt. Mar-Vell’s Cosmic Awareness reduces any d20 rolled against him by 4, which completely neuters Ghost Rider’s Penance Stare. That is why Ghost Rider isn’t attempting it. Ghost Rider strikes down at another Kree Scout. 4sk vs 3sh = KO! (2 remaining)”

Mike: “A Kree Scout fires up. 1sk vs 0sh = 1w (1 left)!!! Ouch! Mar-Vell steps towards a Toxic Barrel and fires up at Ghost Rider. 3sk vs 3sh. He tosses a Toxic Barrel up at Ghost Rider. 2sk vs 1sh = KO!”

Pam: “Team Kree simply had tighter synergies, plus denied Team Angels and Demons some of their potential bonuses.”

Mike: “Yes, and I think there was some bad Order Marker management on the Angels and Demons side. Daredevil didn’t even field a marker during the round where he was in range to engage and strike the cluster of Kree Scouts. Zauriel really got hurt when he didn’t take the first turn in the round he took a lava bath.”

Pam: “Good points, Mike! Well, we’ve got four more teams, and they will fight in our final battle.”

Mike: “Yes, and we’re leaving Dark Dimension. We’ll join Bob and David at C3G’s Hydra Base Gehenna. I’m looking forward to it!”

Pam: “So am I, Mike! See you there!”
