Location:
Hidden Tomb of Cor on Easter Island
The eternal child gasped at the presence of
another ancient guardian! His usual, playful smile disappeared. "What are you doing
here!" he demanded in righteous indignation.
The Tentacle Horror from the Well of Dead
replied, “I have always been here.
I have maintained my duties where you have acted like the little child you
earth guardians are. I am the protector of the Portal to the Domain. Here I am
and here I will stand.
Red Hawk asked Thunderhead if he knew how the
Scythe was able to absorb the souls of the living. Red Hawk said, “I was
thinking the Horror creature might be a good one to use the Scythe against in
this fashion?”
Thunderhead didn't know exactly but he
believed hitting the opponent with it was required.
Focusing on his amulet, Red Hawk thought, “Black Orchid, Clark says the Scythe needs a
soul to work properly. I hate to ask but we I think we will need its power
against C'tegorf.”
The Black Orchid sucked in her breath at
seeing the statues come to life and relayed over the amulet. "Give me the word Team Leader and I'll
use the scythe on squid-face!"
"No!"
Clark pleaded through the telepathic amulet.
"Don't
become like Jacco! Resist the Scythe's temptation, and its curse, as did its
former guardian!" Clark said, referring to his
lost love.
Red Hawk held off on giving Black Orchid the
go to attempt to turn the enemy's power against them and charge the staff with
the soul of the demonic horror. "I'm
confused Clark. You're okay with leaving an insane old man to die in a block of
ice but this you have a problem with? We know the souls can be released later.
Orchid are you sure you're okay with this? I'll do it if need be. I don't think
I have a soul for the Scythe to imperil if that is the problem."
Thunderhead replied "Jacco has already been destroyed, driven mad by his warped quest
for dark, arcane power. Don't let Black Orchid join him!
"Why
do you think the last Guardian never used the Scythe?"
[35] Adamas’ eyes began to glow red,
"I'm not done with you yet!"
As the tentacle terror attacked the team Titan, Adamas pulled him back, and unleashed an Auto-fire Power Blast to his face.
“Let him try to rap his tentacles around that!”
As the tentacle terror attacked the team Titan, Adamas pulled him back, and unleashed an Auto-fire Power Blast to his face.
“Let him try to rap his tentacles around that!”
Adamas fired 4 power blasts. The first blast
missed the tentacle terror.
The second blast hit and the Horror rolled
with the damage.
The third blast hit but the Horror rolled
with the damage and remained standing.
The fourth blast struck the Horror in the
face. The Horror rolled with the damage and continued to fight.
[31] On the other side of the tomb's
supernatural guardian, the man of yesteryear retaliated against the Horror's
vicious claw attack. The two-fisted titan manifested the power of the Incan
goddess of the storm to summon a bolt of lightning!
KRAKA-BOOM!!! Thunder
roared as twin jagged, white-hot arcs of electricity flew from Clark's eyes at
the writhing, tentacle Horror!
The Horror cried out in pain as it was struck
by both attacks. The Tentacle Terror fell to the ground incapacitated.
[29] Centurion X delayed his action as he
watched the 3 Beetle-Warrior Horrors. He was prepared to protect his teammates
from them.
[27] The otherworldly spirit of winter let
loose an icy blast at the Beetle-Warrior Horror #1’s legs, so that if any ice
accumulated from the attack, it would hinder the monster's movement. ZING!
The ice blast missed.
[27] Red Hawk evaded as he struggled with the
burden that leadership had placed on him.
[24] Beetle-Warrior Horror #3 swung his pike
at Thunderhead. The Horror attacked off balance, tripped, and fell to the
ground when he missed with his pike strike.
[22] The Black Orchid silently evaded as she
waited for the Guardians’ team leader to give the word.
[21] Beetle-Warrior Horror #1 moved toward
Jack Frost while raising his pike.
[21] CX attempted to intercept the attack
with his metal shield but wasn’t able to move it across the room in time.
{GM
Note: CX has to roll a successful to hit to get his shield in place. I am using
the framework of the counterblast rules to determine CX’s attempts to provide
metal shielding from attacks}
[21] Beetle-Warrior Horror #1 pike struck
Jack Frost in the side, wounding the immortal guardian. Jack was still able to
fight.
{Gm
Note: Horror did 15 damage points, -6 Power Points and -9 Hit Points}
[18] Since his last shot missed, Starbolt used
his energy construct to attempt to pin the closest opponent to the wall. He
constructed a clamp with an attached wedge that had a textured bottom to grip
the floor. "No sense risking hitting one of my teammates if I miss."
He thought to himself. He attempted to
fly back towards the doorway to keep out of the team’s way.
"Nice move Starbolt. Let's see if we can
take advantage of that." Red Hawk said.
Starbolt said, "I hope it helps. It is
quite the ugly convention they have going on."
The clamp missed. It struck the wall.
To the team he said aloud, "If anyone
needs me to help, just let me know."
[16] Horror #2 struck Adamas in the back with
his pike. The blow was not strong enough to even faze Adamas.
{GM
Note: Horror did 13 damage points, -13 to Invulnerability}

Attention Players: It has been portrayed for
the last 2 issues but it might have been too subtle. I want to you be aware of
the situation especially for this issue. Adamas left his amulet with Donnah. He
can NOT hear your PCs with they communicate with thoughts using the amulet.
Please keep this in mind this turn. Adamas can NOT hear you unless you speak
out loud.
I have updated the Website with all the back
issues, so if you want to read what each Player Character experienced during
the Fog of War in the Tomb of Cor, you can read them now.
Thanks
Tom

Regarding the amulet, I thought that would be
a nice twist going into this... glad you caught it. ;)

How many blasts do you fire with the
autoblast. Please be aware because of the close quarters any misses I will need
to roll to see if they hit someone else.
I did that is the last issue with Starbolt's
miss. I rolled to see if he hit Adamas. I just forgot to include it in the issue.
Thanks

I thought I had responded to this, but can't
find my response.
Four blasts either way, and let's try to line him up with one of the beetle guys in case of a miss. :)

"No!" Clark pleaded through the
telepathic amulet.
"Don't become like Jacco! Resist the
Scythe's temptation, and its curse, as did its former guardian!" Clark
said, referring to his lost love.

OOC: Thank you for communicating the issue
with the Adamas Tom.
I was likely one of the perpetrators.
I will ask later for Red Hawk IC but I am
curious does Thunderhead know how the Scythe is able to absorb the souls of the
living? I was thinking the Horror creature might be a good one to use the
Scythe against in this fashion? Yes it's xeno-ist but killing robots and
monsters is okay. Bruce Timm said so. :-)
Thanks
John

Thunderhead doesn't know exactly but he
believes hitting the opponent with it is required.
Tom

Thunderhead will thought-send that
information to the artificial man.
More later!

this cause Red Hawk when I do his Action.
