{Location: Everglades Florida}
The New Crusaders were following a lead on the
theft of chemicals from the U.S. Military. It led them to a small island within
the Swamp. There they were attacked by Swamp Rat and Sludge. The New Crusaders
and the Swamp Fiends battled back and forth.
Through his team com-link, StrikeForce said,
"Hey Adamas, can you take out Swamp Rat? I seem to be occupied right
now."
Adamas nodded affirmative.
[43] Adamas
fired 5 power blasts from his eyes at Swamp Rat. Four of the five shots hit
with it being the last shot that missed. The first and second blast shredded
Swamp Rat’s armor vest down to almost nothing. The third and fourth blast struck
Swamp Rat. He groaned in pain as he rolled with the damage. He was still
standing and able to fight.
{GM
Note: Adamas did 16 damage points to Swamp Rat’s armor and 7 points of damage
to Swamp Rat.}
[32] StrikeForce
attempted to break free from his adversary but he wasn’t strong enough.
{Sludge
rolled 16 damage points and StrikeForce rolled 12. Since StrikeForce’s damage
was less than Sludge’s the Bionic Brawler wasn’t able to break free}
[31] "Ok
big n tall, that's enough outta you!" The Skink said, ratcheting up for a
new attack. He ran up and over Sludge and onto his back.
"This is totally gonna wreck my
gloves... I just got em how I like em...there's never a hand grenade around
when you need one"
Skink dug his claws into the back of Sludge’s
neck' head area, searching its mass for any sort of central core. He wasn’t
able to find anything. It appeared this was some sort of magical construct.
Sludge said, “Foolish child of Man, do you
think I would have any of my anchors on my body? No, I will not make it so easy
for you to banish me from this realm.”
{GM
Note: Skink did 9 points of damage from the attack; Sludge did roll with part
of the damage}
[23] Swamp
Rat pulled his automatic rifle around and fired on Adamas.
KABOOM! The rifle exploded in an epic
misfire. His remaining armor provided no protection. Swamp Rat fell to the
ground incapacitated and wasn’t able to fight further.
{GM
Note: Swamp Rat rolled a 20 on 1d20 for his first shot. The Critical Failure
table roll produced device failure/destruction; therefore the jam and
explosion. All 3 shots he was going to fire were rolled and added together for
the explosion impact}
[23] "Good
to see you back up, sir" The Black Orchid said to Manta Man. "If you
need to, just move back into the darkness." Moving directly up behind
Sludge, she put her hand on his back and let go with a full powered vacuum
blast. Power drained violently from Sludge and it cried out from the loss.
{GM
Note: Black Orchid drained 21 power points from Sludge}
"You should let him go now."
Sludge replied, “By your command, unseen
one.”
[22] With a wailing laugh Sludge lifted
StrikeForce over his head. He threw him toward Swamp Rat but the throw was
short. StrikeForce landed in a watery spot on the Island. Sludge had thrown the
Bionic Brawler, to the hero’s shock and dismay, into Quicksand!
“Ha! HA!” Sludge bellowed, “One down and more
to follow. Happy now that I let him go?”
[16] Manta
Man flew around in front of Sludge. He fired bolts of electricity from both of
his hands. “I am not happy one bit!!”
Both blasts missed. Manta-Man miss calculated
his trajectory as well. He flew into the branches of a nearby tree. He was
stuck.
{The
second roll to hit was a 20 on 1d20; a critical failure. He put himself in an
awkward position and has a +4 to be hit by opponents next turn.}

It amazes me how the dice and V&V rules
can make a fight that looks 1 sided on paper at really hard fought one when played
out. I am really enjoying this, I hope you are too.
Tom
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am enjoying it as well Tom. I just need to
think of my next move.
Jamey
------------------------------------------------------------------------
StrikeForce will attempt to break free from
his adversary. Through his team com-link, he will say, "Hey Adamas, can
you take out Swamp Rat? I seem to be occupied right now."

"Good to see you back up, sir" The
Black Orchid says to Manta Man. "If you need to, just move back into the
darkness." Moving directly up behind Sludge, she puts her hand on his back
and lets go with a full powered vacuum blast. "You should let him go
now."
(Do I get a point-blank or touch bonus?)
Marc
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There isn't a bonus for point blank or touch
but you will get +4 for behind and +4 for being invisible for a total of +8 to
hit.

Good enough!

"ok big n tall, that's enough outta
you!" The Skink said, ratcheting up for a new attack...
[[ id like to make an agility save to run up
and over sludge and onto his back and then dig his claws into the back of his
neck' head area, searching its mass for any sort of central core ]]
"This is totally gonna wreck my
gloves... I just got em how I like em...there's never a hand grenade around
when you need one"
