Love Child of the Marvel Universe

[Egyptoid]

Yes you read that right.
This is the title of Egyptoid's new CHAMPIONS campaign.

Here's the premise:
design a character that is the child of 2 MU characters.
for added zest, they must be of opposite persuasions. :D

So a mother villainess will have bedded a heroic man,
and of course the heroine mother had relations with a villain.

The classic first example was the son born to BLACK CAT
after an untimely liaison with SPIDER-MAN

The next love child, born to X-Foe SPIRAL
had been fathered by X-Canuck WOLVERINE

and it gets worse:
the off-spring of LILANDRA , one-time romance of Xavier
was fathered by UNUS the UNTOUCHABLE , the force field guy.

and we havent hit bottom yet:
unbelievably the ANCIENT ONE, teacher of Doc Strange,
impregnated the wily UMAR, mother-in-law of Doc Strange

WHY WHY WHY?
well I'll tell you next post.:sneaky:

These are the 5 Team Starters. Each hero will "inherit" one or more powers from each parent. The game begins 24 years after anything the Marvel Universe is doing now.

Team is based in Hampton Roads (Norfolk, Va.Beach,Williamsburg). Their Team HQ is cleverly disguised as EASTERN STATE, a local :ugly: institution for those who for various reasons have doctors who wear white coats caring for them.

Yeah, Yeah. but WHY!

[Vanguard00]

I know there's a point or a plot or something here somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet.

[Hermit]

I can't throw stones... my concept for the "Avengers Next" was the love child of Captain America and Diamondback.

[transmetahuman]

When I read the thread title, I immediately got a mental image of Eternity, hugely pregnant, sitting on the Local Group of galaxies, complaining about a sore back and morning sickness to the off-camera father.

Prime suspect?
The Inbetweener


Note to self: Stop posting at late hours...

[CandidGamera]

With regard to Unus the Untouchable, my question isn't so much 'Why' as it is 'How?'

The In-Betweener. *snrk*

Now I have the image of Eternity filing a paternity suit against the In-Betweener with the Living Tribunal..

[GoldenAge]

Plastic Man gets it on with Harley Quinn...

Their offspring is the notorious...
Holey Trojan!!!


(Get it? The ultimate bad joke!!! ...sigh, did I go too far?):idjit:

[BobGreenwade]

I keep thinking...

Molecule Man + Dark Phoenix....

and then I want to run & hide........ :jawdrop:

[Sketchpad]

Warlock and the Impossible Woman ...





what? ;)

[Hermit]

Dazzler and Toad (Come on, we see those sort of romances in Hollywood all the time)

Silver Sable and Batroc (She was very drunk, and tried to kill him the next day)

[Egyptoid]

This whole thing started 24 years ago when
the In-Betweener got into a snit with Baldur.
they both summoned up vast armies of
heroes and villains to fight for them
in a cosmic showdown the likes of which
hadnt been seen since they did this last
summer in that years big secret crisis. :joint:

Well for 17 issues and 23 crossovers it looked like the In-Betweener was
going to beat up on Baldur, scatter his minions, and worst of all,
Prove His Big Point in a Monologue. Hero after Hero had gone down for
the count, and it looked like, that for three of them, this would be a
Final Death: even for Marvel. Things were going so very bad for the good-guys.

So just when the Watcher couldnt hold his water anymore due to
the suspense, the In-Betweener had Baldur nailed down to a big asteroid
that was about to plunge into the sun. He had already called in all his
markers from his Norse-Kin(tm) like Sif, Valkyrie, and Thor. There was no-one to
save him. Rubbing salt in his Wounds, Loki,
(who was in 8-inch-tall action-figure form due to a mishap
over in She-Hulk #4OO.) Loki sat on Baldur's shoulder,
just laughing and laughing at his cousins dire plight.

So, I'll spare you the boring details of the In-Betweeners grand old monologue,
but the climactic finale of all that verbiage led to a moral dilemma:
Baldur had three choices, the third was to die burned up in the sun.
The other 2 were to simply either deny Love or deny War.

If he denies War, Evil triumphs sooner, as the world cannot fight back.
If he denies Love, Evil triumphs later, as the world is full of hate.

...and he must choose soon, as the sun nears...

Now that Baldur has heard IB's final terms, he knows how screwed he is,
because the ultimatum makes even less sense than what
comic writers usually spew out when they put on their "cosmic" thinking caps.

So Baldur thinks and thinks: If he dies, Ragnarok starts, if he denies War, the world goes into an orgy of repression of the defenseless, and if he denies Love, the world goes into an orgy of Hey Wait A Minute. Why does In-Betweener keep using the word orgy in his monologue? Baldur feigns acceptance, and tells IB he's ready to make his choice. IB eagerly awaits the coice. Baldur declares to all listening, in a bold 72 point font, the he "denies Love and everything in between Love and War while were at it." th In-Betweener starts laughing in triumph, and then hiccups a little as he stops to figure out the implications.

Meanwhile, Baldur's regen has been working during the long speeches,
and the mystic bonds let him go, because he has made his choice,
but since he has no weapons or armour, he takes off his comics-code
loincloth, and then all the females around remember that he's the god
of love as well as light, and they're all in the mood suddenly.

So everyone in the Marvel universe got laid in that issue, except three people:

When the love spell went off prematurely, most people were lucky and
were near someone they already liked (ie Reed & Sue),
or someone they respected (Sundragon, Mr.Sinister).

Some were completely hosed, like Rogue and Absorbing Man.

but the three exceptions deserve mention.
A. The In-Betweener sailed right on into the sun trying to figure out what all was implied in proving a negative.
B. The Watcher did a lot of watching that day I can tell you.
C. Loki couldnt perform for various reasons.

Excelsior!

I approve this message of wanton lust and carnal consequence.:thumbup:

Carry on,

TB --and on, and on, and on...

[MisterBaldy]

How about the "love child" of...

Thanos and the Scarlet Witch?
Galactus and Wasp?
Dark Pheonix and The Hulk?
Umar and Captain America?
Super Skrull and the She-Hulk?The mind boggles!!! :fear:

[Blue]

I'd go Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange. (Now there's some strange magic!)

Wasp and many people, after conjugal visits to the "Big House" super-prison where they store superpowered criminals through use of Pym Particles.

Vision and Jocasta. A little android lovin'.

Ultron and the Shield Hellicarrier.

[Egyptoid]

well I've got total vindication.

this is the best campaign idea ever. :king:

this is the best thread ever about a campaign.

DEFENDERS #5 just came out.

in it there is implied relations between UMAR and HULK.

that is awesome.

nine issues later, what will we have? I ask ya?!?!?

:cheers:

and inicidentally, from a Champions gaming POV,
Hulk uses the brick trick right out of
the ultimate brick book to poke
right through Dormammu's defenses (IMHO)

[Egyptoid]

Wasp and many people, after conjugal visits to the "Big House" super-prison where they store superpowered criminals through use of Pym Particles.

Ultron and the Shield Hellicarrier.

So the Wasp would be a total s1ut and work her way down death row?
Kinky! No idea who the father is, eh?
That's worth about 45 pints of mystery disads right there.


Our gaming group paired ULTRON with the intelligent ship from Power Pack. :idjit:
Jocasta had to make do with MACHINE MAN.

Both cases, FIXER would be the mid-wife.

[BobGreenwade]

I was kind of thinking of Apocalypse and Scarlet Witch, too....

[Arac-4105]

DEFENDERS #5 just came out.

If I know Marvel, we'll have a forgotten supblot. :D

[Log-Man]

Johnny Storm and a Skrull.




Nevermind, too far fetched.

[Egyptoid]

Johnny Storm and a Skrull.


well there is Lyja Lazerfist, the most comely Skrull of'em all. :idjit:

[Hermit]

Umar and Captain America?


Born to them is a daughter that the good Captain rescues and raises as best he can. However, magic is in her blood as much as super soldier serum is in his. While he's traditional, she's New Age; but both believe in the American Dream. Soon, she becomes the Patriotic pagan heroine known only as "American Athame"!

These are the 7 (Seven!) players who showed up.
had a blast on the first session.
It was just a simple danger-room session
so we could all get our heads back on straight,
since we hadnt played HERO in too many months

Plus many of the players had soiled their brains
in the intervening months with the D2O systems,
and so like we all had to remember that there were no
opportunity attacks in Champions, etc.Excelsior!


JUST LEFT the ASYLUM :nonp:

[Egyptoid]

last monday our heros

responded to a trouble call from Pythagoras Jones.

he was out by a lake wooing a young co-ed,
when his step-father walks up.

just then a glowing black rock comes arcing
out of the lake and zangs right off Zeus' forehead,
knocking him down and out goliath-style.

so a small cadre of lizard men come up out
of the lake and start monologuing
about how they will now drain vital essence
from a god!

of course PJ switches to hero ID,
drags the big Z to safety, and calls in the team.

the asylum crew starts trashing reptile bozos of course.
and a bunch of gators come out of the lake,
(the crocs were x-formed lake fish)

at the end of the fight, Arbiter zaps the liz wiz
into the tomb of wattoomm.

Zeus comes to, Arbiter offers him the liz wiz to trash
as he sees fit. so the arbiter makes his first on-board
deal.

and the team kept the drain rocks to make future deals.

but what fall-out from these reptilian interlopers?

[Egyptoid]

Our heroes had no clue where the reptilian losers came from that tried to zap Zeus. A week of fruitless searching revealed nothing. Then someone noticed that a new patient at the asylum was a local state trooper, one who had ticketed our heroes before on an outing.:sneaky:

So what was the deal?
the Trooper was suffering from a long term mental transform.
Someone had suggested he "go to Hawaii" for a while
Turns out 5 other LE personnel were also suffering
from similar problems.

Now they isolated the common neighborhood
where the officers either lived or worked.

Long story short, there was a huge fight in the cul-de-sac
between our heroes and a powerful mentalist
and his brainwashed munchkin agents.

The mentalist had werid green hair, and used powerful spells
as well as mental blasts. Finally Block-House got into hand-to-hand with
the bad guy and they noticed two things:

A. The hair was actually scales, like a snake.
B. The guy was famous, someone they should recognize.

Of course the bad guy triggered a massive charge rigged to kill
al witnesses. All the heroes but one escaped in time, due
to a deus ex-machina from PJ's watchers.

Rogus was left in the blast radius, and barely lived to tell what
he saw. The mentalist was actually HUGH JONES, former CEO
of Roxxon Oil, and his green "hair" was a newer more streamlined
SERPENT CROWN. (http://www.marveldirectory.com/misc/serpentcrown.htm)

Apparently "essence of a deity" was a key ingredient
in whatever new plot was in motion.

Last item, just for spite, Jones took Rogus's blaster pistol
that was a gift from Thanos.

[Egyptoid]

the heros arrive back from Athens in a first class jet.
(thanks to bureaucracy) then they go sift over
the destroyed suburban hideout of Mr.Jones.

They find a young heroine, Hurricane Tana,
imprisoned in a sleep set below the house,
and she'd been missing for seven years.

PJ got attacked by someone in the IRON-MONGER
armor, even though its "inventor" O.Stane
had been dead for several years.
And that someone had done their homework
knowing what poison to use on their NND darts :eg:
versus OJ.

No they don't have a team name yet.
They say "JLA" but you cant do that in the M.U.
even if its a diff. acronym

Clues lead them to the Port Norfolk cargo yard,
where an anchored cargo trawler contained
robots and yet another serpentine wizard.

Adventure Three - Feb.21st

[Egyptoid]

Heroes try to help Hurricane Tana.
She's in for a long hospital stay and rehab.

Finally it clicks with the hero with Healing powers to heal her.
and where is her buddy Meteroid?

Detective work reveals the serpentine influence
running throughout every adventure so far.

Who hired Iron Monger?

Hera tasks PJ to deliver a message to her other son: ARES,
whereabouts unknown.

Big Bro interrogates Serp.Culter and gets lead to Wash.DC.

Magician taps the air-waves and get gossip graphic:

Seven gauntleted hands reaching for slices of an apple.
gauntlet gauntlet gauntlet gauntlet gauntlet gauntlet gauntlet

Deduction leads to evidence of a world wide conspiracy apparently
to garner divine essence and do something evil with it.

Blockhouse uses Google to find bad guys. (INCOMING!)


Players tick off GM:
1. wimped out, didnt want combat.
2. complained about lateness of game,
yet crosstalked it earlier.ugh. :hush:
3. oh well it balances out with the lap top issues.

Do not use Google for detective work.:thumbdown

Five Armored Weirdoes along with a dozen agent bots show up to trash
the Hero-Team.

Killer Shrike, a local boy gone bad.
two Ukrainian mercs wearing Crimson Dynamo knock-off armor.
two NYC mercs wearing copies of the Iron Monger armor.

Our heroes had warning time for the fight based on how much OHM the team genius made his programming roll by. (To repesent the strength of the team's firewall)
Well he only made by zero.

So I gave the guys a minute.

The 5 bad guys stayed up in the air, and pelted the heroes with grenades,
and dropped the droids into hand-to-hand.

Arbiter summoned the Mindless Ones for fire support, and instructed them to kill anyone not in "our group". Well later on OHM switched forms and so I dutifully had the Mindless killers shoot at him also. :eg:

Eventually they zapped enough so that the last one retreated, but the egoist BIG BRO zapped the last one while in full flight.


Adventure Five or So. March 6th 2006.

[ravonaf]

Butt Kisser. Minus Two Xp.

Minus Two!! I was expecting plus 2. What a crock. :D

[Egyptoid]

March 13th, 2006, Adventure number XxX.

As our Heroes dine in a local Yorktown eatery, screeching tires and cries for help waft down to their danger sensing ears. High atop the coleman bridge (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/wonder/structure/images/coleman_bridge_1.jpg) there's a traffic jam. Heroes leap and fly to investigate. There's a bus jammed sideways across 3 lanes of traffic, and a goon in armor is holding hostages.

A closer look reveals that each hostage is wearing a Trek uniform.
(bad jokes all around re: hostages not worth the effort)

Something about the armor is familiar but no one figures that out until the dust settles. One goon is quickly sorted out, and hostages are being driven down off the bridge. Easy mission, until BIG BLACK LIMO drives up, and one big nasty Chinese MF wearing 10 rings, one on each finger , steps out and stares down the heroes.

Quickly, he binds Trapdoor in a force-hex, Ego-Blasts PJ speedster, and shrugs off the energy bolts of OHM. And oddly enough he demands to know where is the "spell-caster" (he's down on shore paying the tab at the restaurant)

Epic battle on the bridge: Mandarin summons minions out of flat-space, and also brings in Taako-Man, an asian brick with aquatic powers.

A few miscalculations on the GMs part allow the heroes to win the battle.

A few fun notes:

Arbiter's Entangle has Variable SFX. when he targets Mandarin (old Iron Man foe) the bindings came out of thin air resemble gold and red metallic tubing, as if built by Stark Industries! Nice touch by the player, showng off his AK:Marvel Universe.


Finally Block-House gets Mandarin in the classic brick squeeze, and the other heroes take turns battering on him while held. a True Team effort (well if you back them into a hairy enough corner they will work as a team, but it seems not until then)

So they phone the Avengers "Hey does anyone want Mandarin to lock up or whatever?"

who should answer the phone but Meteorite! the woman they were looking for 2-3 weeks ago in relation to Hurricane Tana's disappearance.

[Egyptoid]

http://pub.tv2.no/multimedia/na/archive/00195/Debra_Lafave_195779c.jpg
Hurricane Tana and Meteorite

[Egyptoid]

Three Avengers, Jolt, Moon Knight, and Meteorite
show up to claim Mandarin off to jail.

Mandarin's body slumps over laughing and melts, a temporary LMD.

8 of his agents were kidnapees from the Taiwan SHIELD outpost, brainwashed.
the other 8 were chinese loyalists, who revered Mandarin.

Our heroes and the 3 Av. went back to the bar for a beer.

They all compare notes on what they know
of the serpent crown crisis.

They ask Meteorite to come visit Hurricane Tana.

They persuade the 2 ladies to undergo hypnosis
to unlock any memories from their past,
since they had both encountered hugh jones 7 years ago.

Tana had been laid into hibernation because of some
fear of jones' that elemental powers would be his undoing.

Just after this discussion, E VERYONE's wrist-comp goes off
on red-alert. Big trouble in DC. :eek:

Heroes teleport there, and are greeted by the horrible sight
of a 30 story tall giant lizard:

SPACE GODZILLA

(here, (http://www.neomonsterisland.com/a_archives/007/317/317.html) 3rd frame down)

and Space Godzilla has some little freaks helping him out, or worshipping him , or looting in his path, it wasnt clear.

the heroes just stared dumbfoundedly at the destruction for a minute.
fortunately Arbiter's teleport had landed them out of range.

PJ rescued a few hostages, and ferried people around the battlefield.
he also ran Block-House up NCV to punch S-G on the noggin,
but it barely phased either BH or SG

Trapdoor rescued a few hostages and bystanders,
and when Hurricane Tana got zorched he picked up her body off the pavement.

Big Brother could not get at the tight little reptilian mind inside SG's head.

Ohm and Jolt tried combining electrical attacks.
but Space Godzilla don't feel much.

Arbiter tried his bit and bridle spell, but SG is too smart for that animal based magic.

Most of the heroes and none of the NPC's
were brave enough to get within claw distance of Space Godzilla.

NPC's present:
Black Widow
Hank Pym (Civ.ID)
Firestar
Mandroid Squad
DC SWAT

Citizen V
VERBIE

Hurricane Tana
Meteorite
Moon Knight

cliff-hanger: how will they defeat this giant force of nature ? :shock:

EASTERN STATE - WILLIAMSBURG

:straight: QUOTE:
Eastern State Hospital, part of the Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services system, was founded in 1773 with a well-intentioned emphasis on community-focused mental health care. The Hospital, located in Williamsburg, Virginia, is situated over 580 acres and consists of 28 buildings. The 600-bed facility provides treatment to approximately 500 patients with about 1,300 staff.

Well the team finally spent some points on Contacts and their base.

Now they've arrived.:rolleyes:
their team name has been changed from Just Left Asylum
to STRIKE FORCE THETA

they've been recognized as inactive reservists for the Avengers.
(battlefield promotion by Black Widow in fight versus Space Godzilla).

PC note: The liberties I'm taking with the mental hospital do
not reflect my true views of the care given there.

[Egyptoid]

Part Two of Space Godzilla Fight.

Abort to Dodge became a theme.

Finally PJ, Block-House, and Ohm teamed up
and started co-ordinating shots at SG.
PJ's speed proved instrumental.

SG damages Blockhouse every phase due to his Disads.
Pym shrinks BH to allow him to climb inside SG's force field.

Worker cultists are in the backfield of DC,
building energy pylons from a crystalline substance
quite similar to SG's shoulder pads.

Ohm shoots Lightning bolts underneath SG's force field.

Trap-Door scouts out the cultists, damages
their energy pylons, and gets Dr. Pym the tricorder readings he wanted.

Captain America shows up, and asks Qui Bono?
this fights benefits no-one, and doesnt fit SG's usual m-o.


Big Brother spent the entire battle trying to figure out reptilian minds

Avengers Present:
Cap, Moon Knight, BWidow, Meteorite, Firestar, Jolt, Hank Pym.

Arbiter summons the Boring Beetles, and cleverly sends them into the
backfield, where they eat up the cultists escape vehicles, scatter their loot,
chop up more energy pylons, and generally ruin the whole plan.

Cap. suggests that somethings dorking with SG's head.
Arbiter tries his massive dispel, and it works.
of course now SG's is merely angry on his own.

But by this time the teamwork pays off, and SG stands there stunned.
http://www.super7store.com/photos/4061_tn.jpg
Pym finally gets some data to make sense,
and advises the team to make called shots to SG's shoulder pad crystals.

When these are worn down to nubs, SG stops regenerating,
and can be carried off by SHIELD helicarrier.

Battle was a big distraction.
Mandarin attempted a breakin at Eastern Base. while
Hugh Jone attempted breakin at Avengers NYC HQ. I knew they's in cahoots !

. . . Now back to Casey's Countdown . . .

Last week the heroes made a direct frontal assault on
Hugh Jones new secret base in Baltimore.

They were greeted by him, and the Serpent Society.

Sidewinder, Zornwil, Anaconda, Viperia,
Esemerelda, Kobra, Princess Python,
3 Venom Elementals and 8 small robots.

Side-winder t-ports Arbiter to END-drain basement.
Zornwil the brick cuts up PJ and faces down Block-House.
Viperia is beat down by Trap-Door (nasty extortion video to be sold to CNN)

Anaconda tries to pulp Citizen Vee.
Esmerelda conjures up reinforcements.
Kobra gets entangled by SEVEN STRANDS OF CYTTORAK .
Princess Python dropped on her fanny by PJ
Venom Elementals boxed in by Big Bro.

Serpent Crown lays serious smack down,
but it aint over yet, 2 -part cliff-hanger.

[Egyptoid]

Big whompin throwdown part 2 in Baltimore

Serpent King calls in HYDRA reinforcements, but they arrive late.

Block-House identifies C4 by smell, warns team,
but then he touches person of Serpent King,
and triggers bad luck on everyone in radius.

Arbiter calls Boring Beetles to eat Serpent Base.

Sidewinder puts Block-House in oubliette, but gets clicked by the brick.

Serpent King emulates Side-Winder, and puts Trap-Door in oubliette,
and mind-controls him to "work on his focuses more".

Kobra freed from entangle by Venom Girls.
Kobra smacks down Big Brother,
but Ohm flits out to safety with Big Bro in tow.

Mindless Ones knock out Bots and Venom Girls, but set off the
Pterodactyl Statue built of C4
Fortunately they only caught it on fire,
since Ohm had zorched the detonators previously.

Arbiter and PJ flee scene, since their essence can probably
be used by Serpent King for the BIG-APPLE scenario.
They drag Citizen Vee along with them...

Zornwil: totally slumped over due to poison dart in neck :(

Block-House & Trap-Door in Oubliette (Also Sidewinder)

Viperia: badly beaten
Kobra: feelin fine
Anaconda: OK
Esmerelda: stapled into wall alcove by constructo-bot mind-controlled by Ohm
Princess Python: incarcerated by DC SHIELD

Ohm and Big Brother escape in Team Van.

Serpent King stomps around the base trying to save the lost cause there.

[Egyptoid]

Ahh Baltimore, the jewel of the east coast.
http://www.commitment.cornell.edu/CPRS/images/baltimoreHarbor_small.jpg

Our heroes rally to release their captured comrades.

Trap-Door and Block-House languish in their oubliettes.

Ohm, Big Brother and PJ scramble to re-invade Serpent Kings HQ.

Arbiter goes catatonic and lies unavailable to help.

Serpent King and Big Brother fight a mental duel,
and the battleground is: Ohm's mind.

Warbird, Meteorite, and Hurricane Tana arrive to help.

No real changes, no big jailbreak.

A joint smoking creature shaped like a rabbit showed up :joint:

METEORITE - Moonstone
:straight: PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION: PhD in Psych

:straight: QUOTE: Recent Events:
She was used by the Serpent King to pull off a few jobs,
at the same time SK slapped Hurricane Tana into solitary
due to his fear of HT's powers.

But she's on the Thunderbolt squad of the Avengers now,
and drew the short straw to be team liaison to Strike Force Theta (the PCs)


:straight: POWERS/TACTICS: Ancient History:
Ms.Sofen used her skill as a psychologist to get the Moonstone (a mysterious artifact found near the Blue Area on the Moon) away from its former owner. Besides formidable powers, she is an expert at manipulating other people's emotions and taking advantage of their psychological limitations.

Universe Marvel Universe
Real Name Karla Sofen
Aliases Meteorite, Kate Sorenson
Identity Publicly known
Occupation Psychologist
Citizenship U.S.A.
Place of Birth Van Nuys, California
Known Relatives Karl (father, deceased), Marion (mother)
Group Affiliation Thunderbolts; formerly Masters of Evil, Corporation
Education PhD in Psychology

:straight: CAMPAIGN USE: Karla grew up in the mansion of a Hollywood producer, the child of a butler. After her father died, her mother worked three jobs to put her daughter through the best colleges and Karla vowed never to end up like her mother, and never to put another's needs before her own. Despite building a successful psychological practice, Karla so disliked being dependent on her patients for income that she and entered the super-criminal world as an aide to Dr. Faustus. Learning of Moonstone (Lloyd Bloch), she became his psychologist and manipulated him into rejecting his moonstone, which she then absorbed to gain the powers of Moonstone.

Karla worked briefly for the Corporation, controlling the Hulk and manipulating General Thunderbolt Ross into a nervous breakdown. She continued to pursue greater power, stealing Curt Connors' Enervator and searching the moon's surface for further moonstone fragments. First Egghead and then Baron (Helmut) Zemo recruited Moonstone for their Masters of Evil, and she aided each against the Avengers. After the last of these fights, she decided to serve out her prison term and give up her criminal life. However, when Zemo formed a group of villains to masquerade as heroes, he broke Moonstone out of the Vault and she returned to villainy as the Thunderbolt Meteorite. After their ruse was exposed, she remained with the Thunderbolts as they tried to reform, becoming romantically involved with Hawkeye.

:straight: APPEARANCE: Karla's road to redemption was less than smooth. She executed the Kosmosian Primotur, and appeared to betray the Thunderbolts to both the new Masters of Evil and Graviton before rejoining the team. When the Thunderbolts were trapped on Counter-Earth, Karla removed a second moonstone from that world's Lloyd Bloch (known there as the Phantom Eagle), dramatically increasing her own powers. When the Avengers later interfered in the Thunderbolts' plan to control the world's "transnormal energy," a failsafe Karla had planted against Zemo was triggered and the stolen energy was funnelled into her moonstones. Karla attempted to use this energy to flee, but the Thunderbolts and Avengers combined forces to stop her. In the end, Zemo ended up in possession of both moonstones and Karla was left comatose.

Last of the 4 weeks in Baltimore.
Serpent King and his surviving flunkies have
retreated to the sub-basement of his base.

Both the good guy and bad guys sides
have taken enough recoveries to get back
up to full.

Meteorite phases into the ground, searching for the oubliettes.

Warbird and SHIELD agents cover all the exits.

Arbiter summons the Boring Beetles, to open up surprise entrances.

Hurricane Tana scours the tunnels with gale-force winds to set off traps.

Ohm scans for activity and finds little.

Citizen Vee scouts out ahead in stealth mode.

Big Brother mind scans for bad guys.

PJ zips in and out, setting up his entangle and scouting.
http://www.wbcomics.biz/Hero-Fight1.jpg
the Heroes scatter out into the base, looking for trouble.

Bad guys begin popping up in the dungeon-like atmosphere of the basement.

One by one, heroes are clocked, but just barely they avoid the "teleport to oubliette" solution that the Serpent King is seeking.

Finally after several rounds of fruitless searching or pointless struggles,
Citizen Vee calls for a Tactics roll, and his player asks what are we doing wrong?

As the GM I tell them don't split up.
They regroup, and re-enter as team this time.

Big Brother mind controls Zornwill the big reptile brick
and sics him on the Drain Snakes. Zornwill put down

PJ stuns Kobra with a move-by, and Arbiter puts the Missiles of Muniporr onto him.
Kobra runs screaming.

Concentrated blaster fire and Citizen Vee's Mac-10 finally whittle down Anaconda.
She stays down, GMO

PJ puts a roundhouse kick into Hydra-Girl's jaw, and she stays down.

Meteorite finds Blockhouse, and pulls him out of the rubble,
and she finds Rogus's missing focus. She stacks boulders on Sidewinder.
He's not getting back in the game.
http://www.wbcomics.biz/Hero-Fight-2.jpg
Finally Serpent King is faced.
the entire team coordinates, and times their blasting and shooting to really get him.
Arbiter suppresses his dodgings and illusions, so he really takes the damage.
when he's down they shoot him again to keep it that way.

now they're all standing around looking at the Serpent Crown.
its about as exciting as looking at the One Ring.

But they've done, they've captured the Serpent Society, all of it,
and the Serpent Crown they can lock away again.

But where is the Mandarin in all this ?

CITIZEN VEE - John Watkins the Fourth
:straight: PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION: Serves his country and Cap.
Right-Wing Hard-Liner Drill Sergeant.
wants to have a world wide iron clad no-excuses sterling reputation
wants to please everyone

:straight: QUOTE: All Right Ladies, Listen Up

or Back into the Danger Room, you prima donnas obviously need practice.

:straight: POWERS/TACTICS: Watkins received a new Citizen V costume and became the leader of the Redeemers.
He led the team for just a while with the V-battalion.
Citizen V is a field operative for the V-battalion and carries out the orders of the Homeland Security Chair, which is the head of the V-battalion.
Watkins has taken over the role of Citizen V from Dallas Riordan who ran away from the V-battalion after refusing one of their orders.
Although Watkins has been completing his assignments for the V-battalion his behaviour has become strange.

Stealthy, HtH Combatant, Good Martial Artist, Has hold out gun for emergencies.
Has the Earth Rod (present from the Avengers via Cap from their captured foci closets) for metahuman threats.

:straight: CAMPAIGN USE: TEAM MENTOR & DRILL SERGEANT
Passable Secret Agent, Liaison to US GOV and Avengers.
The Citizen Vee distinctive costume is often mistaken for Captain America or US Agent by the unobservant.
Captain America used to call on him to do foreign work. He has spent time overseas doing dirty jobs that Cap
cannot be seen doing. Watrkins as such is semi-retired, but works in the sidelines and back offices of superherodom.

:straight: APPEARANCE: Watkins IV has also been a Thunderbolt version Citizen V,
His costume seems to have the same qualities of Dallas' costume, such as infrared sensors in the visor, and having camouflage.
He has an undercover suit of "leather" armor that passes for street clothes.
With the brown costume and the staff he leans on Strike Force Theta Members jokingly call him "Jedi" or "Sensei".
Then he whacks them upside the head.

THE BIG BAM BOO
========================

Last session I mentioned that last weeks issue of "comic book" based on the game had been drawn in Manga style. But then I gave no explanation. Nothing Asian showed up that game.

So this week...

While they're trying to clean up the HYDRA base, SHIELD agents flood the area cleaning up the crime scene and taking the Serpent Society into custody.

Overhead noone sees the Eye of the Mandarin watching all:
http://bpgisme.com/cliffscosmicreviews/media/1/20041221-bigeyecreature.jpg

While they try to decide exactly how to handle the Serpent Crown, no-ones volunteering to touch it, a TK ray comes from the eye-beast and lifts the crown from Hugh Jone's head and plunks it down on the head of Arbiter the Magician.

His eyes roll back in his head and all hell breaks loose.
He Mind Controls all the SHIELD agents and starts a ruckus, and summons 75 Mindless Ones (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=964273&postcount=37) ones to wreak havoc. Briefly the Serpent Demigod Set asserts control over Arbiter, and begins his chaos anew. However, Arbiter is a weasely one, and shifts the battle to the Astral Plane. He sacrifices himself temporarily so as to not ruin the city of Baltimore anymore.

Mandarin teleports in and takes care of everyone on the team that wasnt already in an oubliette. Well it was easy since the Mindless Ones had pummeled everything and everyone into submission. They almost sank the SHIELD Heli-Carrier. Mandarin sneaks away all the captive heroes to his secret junkyard base and lab in Frisco. (http://maps.google.com/maps?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=junkyard+san+francisco&ll=37.780645,-122.395999&spn=0.003494,0.007972&om=1) Chinatown was too obvious. :nonp:

SF:Theta Captives:
Ohm, Big Brother, Trap-Door, Block-House, PJ, Citizen Vee.

Avengers Captive:
Meteorite, Warbird, Hercules.

Others Held:
Hurricane Tana, Ares, some SHEILD lieutenants.

Well this is huge, a total party capture. Fortunately when Warbird and Meteorite drop of the radio comm to Avengers HQ, a silent alarm gets raised. However the Avengers have their hands full with a plot from the Astronomer, so no one answers the call immediately. But SF:Theta has purchased the Defenders as a contact, and when eight hours elapses, VERBIE back at the base call on Nighthawk to see if they can help. Nighthawk isnt sure about helping a silly robot, so VERBIE has to trick Rogus and get him doped up, and then while he's passed out, drag him over the console and use his unconscious palm-print to activate the Code Red.

Now its a Federal case, and Nighthawk has to respond. so he rounds up who he can from the Defenders roster:
Beast, Doc Strange, Doc's Demon, Ice-Man, Awesome Andy, and Bruce Banner. Now Doc can't locate Arbiter, which is odd, and would be his first line of pursuit. But he can zero in on Hurr.Tana, since she is such an elemental force. So the Defenders bust in on Mandarin in San Francisco.
http://www.classicmarvel.com/images/mandarin.gif
Mandarin has his flunkies and clones and LMDs ready for the fight.

Mandarins Helpers:
Tassak of the Sash , Bokamon of the Staff , Chino of the Mac-10s , Codex the Topknot, Katei Katana , Lady Cheeva , Red Devil , various Chinese Agents.

Tassak, Bokamon, Codex, Cheeva and Red Devil are all HK style martial artists.
Chino is a gun-bunny, and Katei is an assassin.

Wonderfully huge and colorful melee breaks out. (Players are running the Defenders to rescue their trapped PCs)

highlights:

Hulk goes berzerk after Mandarin Ego Attacks him, finally he catches Mandarin via SuperLeap and beats him to a bloody pulp. Wouldnt have been so bad except Doc Strange was suppressing Mandarin's defences. Ouch, Ugly.
China man stay out of Hulks Head !!!!

Chino busts out of Ice-Man's entangles with her Mac-10 fire.

Tassak of the Sash prepares his killing star strike, from behind Doc Strange.
Doc senses the gathering of mystical energy, and wonders if someone can block this.
Ice-Man says sure, and throws up an icy force wall behind him and the Doc.
Only he botches the skill roll, and the wall only protects Ice-Man.
Doc Strange takes 7 body from the "ninja" stars and has a few choice words for Ice-Man about being a team-player. too funny.

Chino left unmolested for a second, sprays down Doc Strange with autofire RKAs.
he takes 3 more Body. In retaliation he transforms her weapons into rabbits.
GunBunny indeed.

Awesome Android and Demon double team the agents, blowing them via wind into AoE RKA, very ugly.

Hulk actually frees Hercules from the Force Fields !
only Hulk could generate the 31 body necessary to bring down the field.
Superleap move-through for 26 dice, yee haw!

last bad guy to go down was Katei Katana, she was good at hiding.
so Doc Strange finds her via Mind Scan, and casts faerie fire on her.

Beast figures out the science to take down the rest of the force cages after the fight is over.

So then all are rescued finally.

But the big Radiation Accident has happened.
I gave out a few extra XPs, and gave out new guidelines,
and all are re-writing their characters.

All are to be heroes now, not asylum rejects.
All are to be trained crimefighters, not vigilante mutants.
They'll have a real base now, not the hospital back wing.

And the end of it all, Arbiter comes walking back in.
He looks 60 years old. But his eyes are clear and cheerful
and the Serpent Crown has been handled.

Blockhouse: "Why do you look so old now?"

Arbiter: "to the true student, a year is as a day" (http://beagleweb.com/fun-taekwanleap.html)

[Egyptoid]

Since all the characters have been re-written,
they've been made into powered heroes,

rather than adults with powers from a strange common origin.

All characters now have heroic outlooks instead of the "unwanted powers" type.

Anyways to celebrate the advancement of the team to their new affiliation
as reserve Avengers, Citizen Vee organized a dinner, and invited all the "good" parents.

Ohm's mom Photon; .... Trapdoor's dad Spidey; ... Blockhouse's father Wolverine.
Big Brother's mom Sue Richards; ... Arbiter's father the Ancient One; ... PJ's father Rick Jones.

Black Widow and Beast were there as Avenger reps. Citzen Vee was there, and VERBIE and some SHIELD agents were posted around the building as guards.

So it was a great dinner, all having a good time. They were discussing great bricks and their schticks. Hulk, Hercules, Abomination, Gladiator, Thing. Who could take a hit and how hard. Best punches thrown. Everyone was sharing old war stories, and the theme was bricks and tankers of the Marvel Universe. Sasquatch, Giant-Man, Terrax, Thor, Colossus, J2, and Super-Skrull. Seems like all of them had a story to share.

then Spidermans and Trap-doors danger senses go off.
Ohm's and Photon's energy senses start to itch.
Wolverine and Blockhouse smell ozone.

the pretty waitress spills a tureen full of hot soup on Arbiter.
no-one recognizes the waitress but she seems terribly familiar.

Something is activating into the room, and people scatter to the four corners, and ceilings. Wolverine stays at table eating the tandoori chicken and swigging beer calmly.

Finally a hologram field stabilizes and the voice and image of Kingpin starts mocking the assembled heroes. He's got some rant about being left out, how pathetic this team is, and the days are numbered. Blah Blah, blah blah.

the waitress runs back into the kitchen. Danger and other senses go into high gear.
Kingpin has an indirect energy blast hooked up to his clairvoying hologram.

More ozone in the room, somethings not right.

Spiral teleports in, completely surprising PotM Ohm,
an she slices him deep.

Waitress is finally revealed to be Black Cat (Felicia Hardy)
who was there (innocently) violating parole just to see how her boy Trap-Door was doing.
Spidey knew she would be there and turned a blind eye as long as she was good.

But with bad luck and her rep, she got used unwittingly by the Kingpin
to betray the meeting place. So the Kingpin has paid off the others to pursue their vendettas versus our heroes.

Umar shows up to berate Arbiter for his poor choices on becoming a goodie two shoes.
She had a nice corner office prepared for him at her citadel.

Spiral has been promised a sample of divine blood from PJ, so she can play some part in the Big-Apple Scenario described earlier.

Kingpin had fed a bunch of lies to Hera, and she was going to show up to the dinner in a righteous snit as to being left off the guest list.

Electro, crazy and powerful, was just invited by Kingpin for the chance to sack Spiderman from a position of surprise.

Kingpin, from a positon of safety in NYC is harrassing the group by VR remote.

so of course a big melee erupts, with highlights:

the Ancient One disguises himself as Kingpin, steps into the Hologram!
then he switches places with M. Fisk. Now King pin is dropped personally into the fight,
and Ancient One is playing havoc inside Kingpin's little empire, assuming the role of Kingpin for a season.

Electro is hiding in the wiring of the country club, and is zapping people from position of safety, very heinous attacks. Spidey starts webbing over every outlet and electric light in the building to shut him down.

Spiral is clamped down in a force field by Sue Richards.
Arbiter holds a prepared phase to dispel her inevitable teleport to escape.
So I inform Arbiter that a magic nexus was forming in the room.
He dispels it on cue with his held action, and rolls big dice.
Piff! and Spiral stays in the cube just then.

Umar transforms a SHIELD agent into a giant tigerstriped monstrosity. Arbiter transforms him back.
Umar attempts to hex Arbiter, and he weasels out of it by invoking all her kermic debt on this plane, and freezes her temporarily.

Spiral eventually escapes the force field, and is going to KILL Arbiter with her autofire HKAs. He aborts to Ex-Dim T-port, and has to leave the battlefield for the rest of the session.

Wolverine keeps eating chicken and beer. "Let me know if ya have trouble, bub"

Blockhouse and Spiderman eventually clock Electro when he pokes his head out.

Citizen Vee sprays down Spiral with his Mac-10, and she makes the deflect roll, and bullets spray everyone on the field. Trap-Door had to play 2 luck cards to stop some deaths from that trick.

Big Brother mind controls Spiral just for a moment, getting her to attack Umar, by stirring up traditional bad-guy mistrust of each other.

You'll notice I never mentioned Hera. after the dust cleared Arbiter figured out he had shut her teleport instead of Spiral's.

End-game: Kingpin, Black-Cat, and Electro back in jail.
Umar phases out, as does Spiral eventually.
Hera not present .

Bad Guy Players.

Electro Ohm's father.
Spiral Blockhouse's mother.
Black Cat Trap-Door's mom.
Kingpin, Big Brother's biological father.
Umar, Arbiter's actual mother.
Hera, PJ's bio-mom.

[Egyptoid]

Black Panther called for some back-up.
Some middle-eastern idiots backed up by a squad of bricks
had launched a merc. operation into Wakanda, seeking to steal vibranium,
as well as machining or refining tech for vibranium alloys.

Our team jetted to Africa, linked up with Panther
and scouted out into the bush to find the bad guys.

Bad Guy Roster: (names translated from Arabic)
---- Name, ---- Style, ---- Schtick:
Ennithing, brick, rocky-skinned tanker
Cheap-Sun-Glasses,brick, regen + super-leap
Brutikon,brick, smooth, martial artist
Brick-Wall, brick, ex-dim movements, grappler
Green-Scab,brick, shapeshifter, VPP
Captain France, brick,, flyer and showboat
Tawny Claw, brick, slinky tiger-man with claws
Middle-Eastern Thug leaders
Middle-Eastern Thugs with Ak-97s
Middle-Eastern Wizard
- plus -
Wakandan scientists, mine-workers, and hostages

===================================

highlights of the battle:

Black Panther sneaks on in to find the leaders.

Trap-Door sneaks in to rescue one group of hostages.
PJ speeds in to whisk out the second group of hostages.
Big-Brother drops a force wall on the third hostages.

Arbiter buffs up his PRE and makes all the normals pee their pants.

Ohm deactivates the claymores guarding the escape routes.
Blokc-house of course charges into combat with the enemy bricks.

Citizen Vee lays down covering fire and translates any of the pertinent Arabic the bad guys are speaking.

When Blockhouse charged Bruticon, I warned the player he was ready for him.
Block-house charges anyways, and gets martial tossed into the dirt 3 inches.

Green-Skab got poisoned by Trap-Door's trank darts.

Tawny threatened Arbiter, and got tunneled into the Tomb of Watoom.

Cheap-Sunglasses super-leapt onto Block-house, who dodged,
and Black Panther came out of nowhere to skewer him on the downstroke
with his climbing tool. (like pike set to receive charge, eh ?)

Ennithing got radically mind-boggled by Big Brother, and spent the rest of the fight shadow-boxing with mirror images.

Block-house finally grabs Brutikon, and is only taken out by combined attacks from
Trap-Door's staff,, Ohm's RKA jolt,, and Citizen Vee's Mac-10.

Brick-Wall was the tuffy. his idea was to grab you, t-port with you to a pocket dimension,
and beat the pulp out of you in a little private arena, then get your team-mate.

Arbiter was able to set up a booby trap for him when he reappeared after one of his ethereal jaunts.

now Captain France is a washed out "hero" from the early 80s, picture Fight-Man with a bad accent. He's universally reviled, was deemed a liability by the french govt. and was last seen in Algeria 8 years ago. Now he surfaces as a cheapened merc working for some Middle-Eastern terrorists. He is still however a flying brick, and nobody wanted to take the 28 dice of move-by damage he would inflict. Arbiter took him out with a Comeliness drain followed by the one-two punch from Big-Brother convincing him that his Middle eastern bosses were short-changing him, so he bugged out.

All but CF and Brick-Wall were taken into custody.

Detective work and comparing notes with a grateful Black-Panther
revealed a trail back to a terror cell in Alexandria Egypt, site of next battle in 2 weeks

[Egyptoid]

from June 12th.

Arbiter goes to Richmond, to visit a used bookstore
that has some egyptian texts he'll need for the coming weeks.

gun shots and a crash ruin his reverie, he comes to
the street to find 2 girls wrecked on their fore-runners,
3 men nearby cut down with chem grenades, and
agents with guns holed up in a nearby house.

Villains inside the building:
WHITE_HALL a scientist with Mutant Insect and mental powers.
Dr.COLE another scientist working with stolen Pym-style insect equipment.
CHITINOID an insectoid demon from lower realms.
the ZAPP BROTHERS, a pair of minor beetle-powered villains.
and a horde of bug-based agents with a hive mind.

Arbiter risks the gun fire to rescue the hostages and victims,
and PIFFS them off to SF:Theta HQ. They need medical attention.
Quickly the team saddles up and teleports back to Richmond.

SWAT teams and hostage neg. cops have set up in the area.

PJ recons the building and sees no current hostages.
Arbiter recons the building astrally and notes the grody tunnel complexes beneath the area, crawling with bugs and bug-agents.

Trap-Door sneaks invisibly in to attempt rescues.

Big Brother starts working on the scientists making the demands.

Block-House waits for someone to punch.

Ohm fails his ego defense and gets ordered to advance and start blasting.

now the battle begins in earnest, and the teleporting CHITINOID takes new hostages via teleportation.

Block-house gets repeatedly entangled but manages to smack down several bad guys.

Ohm shoots holes in the building.

PJ rescues the current hostages and fouls some agent guns.

Big Brother scares away the bug scientist WHITEHALL

Trapdoor gets PRE drained by bug juice to -7 PRE,
then gets skeered away buy the CHITINOID at 60 PRE, not a pretty fate.

finally all bad guys are downed, but no-one knows why the incident started in the first place.

later the girls were revealed to be minor mutants, and their playing with their powers on the street annoyed the demon till he went berzerk.
the operation would have been a total secret except for their interference.

COLE had worked (its short for coleoptera) for STARK, STANE and USGOV before, he was an amoral scientist who would work for anyone.
but the worst revelation came from the agents guns: made by AIM.

so AIM or one of its associates is on the power tree somewhere.

...and reporters were filming the entire scene...

Good thing this sort of loser isn't allowed anywhere NEAR Neptune City.

[Egyptoid]

from June 19th.

OHM has fallen in battle, succumbing to wounds inflicted by giant ants.
His essence was gathered and put into a special battery on the team van.

ARBITER has teleported 2 insectoid agents to "Apshai's Realm"
which is just one of the 666 layers of hell.

He doesnt show up or make contact for 3 days, so the team asks
Dr. Strange for help. He's busy so he sends Rintrah to their aid.

Ant-Man arrives from the Avengers to assist.

Members present:
TRAP_DOOR, BIG_BROTHER, ANT_MAN, RINTRAH, PYTHAGORAS

Rintrah takes them to a local cross-roads at midnight.
Casts a spell to take them to the lower planes.

They arrive standing on a large wide road. its covered with little pavers.
And it stretches out across a wide lifeless plain for miles and miles.
The pavers are inscribed in thousands of different languages.
Finally they find some written in English:


"Gonna call Mom on Mother's Day."
"Meant to put road-flares in the car."
"Just 2 drinks then we go right home."

There's millions of the pavers, and the highway is long and wide.

They set off down the road, and are attacked by elemental demons of various sorts.

Finally the road runs right through 2 egyptian statues.
on the player's side is the road and the deserted plain.

On the other side of the statues is lush savannah, teeming with bugs,
and the border between the 2 areas is harshly delineated. A force field separates the 2 geographies.

Ant-Man and Rintrah figure out the logic puzzle, and get through,
calling to the others to come along, its possible with the right frame of mind.

Finally Trap-Door, then PJ, then Big Brother come along through.

the difference in the places is like night and day. the desert was cool, quiet, and dead.
the realm is hot, sticky, and crawling.

Finally inside they encounter Arbiter, rescued the 2 agents, scared off Castle-Wall,
avoid the Gorillon, and use PJs new "way-home" power to get out alive.

:rolleyes:

[Egyptoid]

Our heroes are having a relaxing day at the beach.

Citizen Vee said "get out, have some fun"
no-one was going to go until Hurricane Tana said she was going to sunbathe.
buncha pigs.

so at the secluded beach a govt. van pulls up.
an agent, a medic, and a SWAT member stroll up to the heroes.

they want to see BLOCKHOUSE.
they want to take him downtown for some questioning
regarding the property damage and lives lost in Richmond.

and they want to cuff him and sedate him for the ride there,
since he is so dangerous.

TRAP-DOOR's danger sense makes him explode in anger,
and he punches the paramedic as she tries to get the needle
into BLOCKHOUSE's skin.

so a fight starts.

BLOCK-HOUSE was going to go along peacefully (never will know why)

turns out the van had FREEDOM FORCE in it.

HEROES:
PYTHAGORAS
ARBITER
DEATH-ARCHER plus the two nitnoids above.
HURRICANE TANA
REVISION

OPPONENTS:
PARAMEDIC (turns out to be Mystique)
PW AGENT (turns out to be a Dog Soldier)
SWAT TEAM
DESTINY
BLOB
PYRO
VERTIGO
AVALANCHE

ARBITER erects a force field and summons nereids from the beach.

TRAPDOOR fights BLOB.

TANA blows down Pyro the entire battle. (no one wants 20d6 fore blast)

PJ gets the teams foci from off table.

BLOCKHOUSE got pummeled by machine gun fire. (Mac-10!)

DEATH ARCHER punks gas onto VERTIGO and DESTINY.

OHM's new body and powers earned him a new name: REVISION
(since he is now a synthezoid, with a human consciousness)

Freedom Force was defeated but just barely.
FF is the govt. super team. but they may have been up to no good.
their boss talked to Citizen Vee, and things were smoothed out.

[Egyptoid]

from July 3rd:

Heroes fly the strike jet to Egypt to investigate the leads from the
terrorists who attacked Wakanda a few days ago.

they run into a group of insectoid agents again,
bee & hornet & yellowjacket styled to be specific.

big fight: 2 Aerial Princesses, 1 Ground Princess
and 5 squads of ground agents and 2 squads of aerial agents.

Big Brother used mental illusions to cause agents to shoot their own princesses.

Arbiter summoned air spirits of scirocco to ground the aerial enemies.

Trap-Door snuck inand webbed over the queen bee.

PJ used his new arrows of apollo to flash groups of agents.

Revision and Block-house clocked beaucoup agents.

There was a large cavernous "hive" under the desert outside Alexandria.
they freed the bee spirits (asian bestiary :thumbup: ) there that the terrorists
were using to power their attack suits.

Apparently the bad guys were building an energy collector
to house the mojo that was being stolen from various supers.

[Egyptoid]

from July 10th:

As the heroes clean up the fight scene in the deserts outside Alexandria Egypt,
they are accosted by HYDRA agents in complex flight suits.

Overhead the buzzing of a HYDRA heli-carrier drones.

They are bombarded, shot, and entangled by waves of agents.

Worst of all, there's a telepath in the carrier zapping the team with
TK and mental bolts, armor-piercing.

BIG BROTHER sets up the mind link with the Ment-Def option for everyone.

TRAP-DOOR glues down the aerial agents.

P-J sweeps down agents by the truck-load.

ARBITER uses force walls to great advantage.

BLACK-ARROW uses flash-bang arrows, gas-arrows etc. to down the agents.

REVISION trys to take the battle to the heli-carrier.

BLOCK-HOUSE repeatedly smashes agents of course.

finally BLACK-ARROW attaches a line to the bottom of the heli-carrier.
its 100 hexes up in the air.

the telepath on board is MODOK, and he's raging mad because the heroes
broke the HIVE's energy collector. so SF-T finds out that they actually
solved the adventure last week when they broke it.

on board the carrier is the tank containing all the stolen mojo.
they take the fight to the carrier and smash that vat.

As ARBITER attempts to teleport out of his entanglements,
he botches the magic check and slides the entire megascale hex into the astral plane.

NEXT ADVENTURE:
how do we get home....
