Re: WWYCD: Foxbat The Mighty!
Why are you people giving Sketchpad ideas like this?!? Don't you know how dangerous that is to his players?
Whenever Foxbat shows up, bad things happen.... hilarious, wacky things when looked at out-of-character, but definitely not so funny in-character... I personally love the character very much as our GM portrays him... Foxbat is so beloved in our group that he even has his own theme music (Sketchy plays music to enhance the feel of his games most of the time)... thus, when the music changes to a particular track, every single one of our group's members will groan because we know just who's about to show up...
The last time we ran into Foxbat, he and his flunkeys led city police and our supergroup on a wild high-speed chase through busy downtown traffic, which ended when he proceeded to shrink 2 police cars, 4 police officers, and 3 of the 4 team members chasing him to the size of mini-mates with a stolen shrink-o-ray, leaving only my teenage mage-girl (with her low self-esteem and highly unpredictable wild-magical powers) at normal size to help put things right... believing her friends vapourized or worse since she came onto the scene later than her allies, she attempted to cast a powerful entangle spell to stop him but the spell fizzled... Foxbat laughed at her, then called for a getaway jet and then shrank part of the monorail as the next train was due to be speeding through within a few short minutes, presenting her the choice to either save a train full of people by fixing the monorail or stop Foxbat and crew from escaping yet again... she chose the save the train and tried to mend the railing with her magic... but instead of mending the girders as she intended to, her magic again backfired and the metal shrieked and whined as a 30ft tall girder monster ripped itself out of the monorail (now affectionately referred to as "Girderzilla")... thus did Foxbat and crew get away, as they planned, probably laughing their respective behinds off at the ineptitude of heroes as my poor little mage scrambled to counter her spell and save the day...
Thus do I state for the record that if Foxbat showed up in his current "Sketchpad incarnation" with the aforementioned enhanced abilities, my character would react by immediately calling for the rest of her team! Then she would hop onto her enormous flying guardian-panther, and chase after Foxbat, trying to prevent him from hurting anyone as he carries off the bank, perhaps trying to goad him into a low-population area so that he'd be easier to attack without worrying about innocents... if he landed and it was safe to do so, she'd try snaring him in a "Jigglytrap" (magical lime gelatin encases target) or some other entangling spell... at all times, her main priority would be to stall him until help arrived... and hopefully it would be someone to help her, not him!
