Crusaders/Ultimates fight: The results!

[Dr. MID-Nite]

This is a followup to my email regarding tactical advice for the Ultimates. The fight ended up being the Ultimates(Binder, Blackstar,Cyclone, Slick, Thunderbolt...along with Anklosaur and ESPer) vs. The Crusaders:

 

Bedlam: Team leader....Brick

Quick Step: Speedster

Frostbite: Cold energy projector

Brimstone: Fire energy projector

Spiritwalker: Teleporting, spell using shaman

Hound: Shapeshifting martial artist

Dark Sun: The "jedi"

 

Slick opened the attack with his area entangle, which hosed most of the team. Spiritwalker was able to get away...as was Quick Step. Binder then glued up the speedster as well...leaving only Spiritwalker free. Anklosaur followed that up with a Flashbang grenade that affected nearly every team member. Despite this, the team fought back, with Hound and Spiritwalker double teaming Cyclone. Hound finished him with a leaping move through that actually hit. The Ultimates just had way too many actions though, and the fight slowly went against The Crusaders. Bedlam was kept blinded and/or entangled the entire fight(The player wasn't too happy about that.) Thunderbolt was The Ultimates' MVP, taking out Frostbite, Quick step, and Hound by himself and helping to defeat Brimstone, who fell to ESPer's psionic attack. Dark Sun, pummeled by Cyclone earlier in the fight, felt the bludgening power of Anklosaur's tail. Anklosaur himself was beaten by the combined efforts of Bedlam and Spiritwalker. Outnumbered 6 to 2(Cyclone was able to rejoin the fight), Spiritwalker used his Word Of Recall spell to transport himself and Bedlam away.

 

Thanks to everyone who offered me tactical ideas for this fight. The Ultimates gained a measure of respect that evening, though the Crusaders I'm sure will be more than ready for the eventual rematch.
