Episode #33 - Voss Under the Sea

I have an assault rifle that would deal 4 damage to 3 targets with Hasty Augmentation and that would kill any minions that come out next round.  That way your bots would be free to attack Voss entirely.

Keep Mass Levitation up as a precaution.   Putting the decoy out as there is not a good alternative.  No fun cards drawn.  :(

---------
Note:
I'm expecting Hasty Augmentation to be used on me and when that happens I'll be dealing 5 fire damage to three targets taking out any minions still in play and dealing Voss damage. 

Redirect the Raptor Bot damage to Stealth Bot, please. Looks like no Hasty Augmentation this time around.

Well no card plays at all.   If I could have Setback give me a power play then I can take out the Firesworn with my shotgun so that bots can chew on Voss this turn.   Next turn will hurt though as we will have at least two minions who deal everyone damage.  

I don't have a better idea.

Sounds good on my end--cock that shotgun, Expat!

I do find it a bit humorous next turn that Dark Visionary's decoy will take all of Voss's hit next turn since Viz is the highest health thus directing it to the decoy and then the  decoy will take the second part of the hit.  

Unless dpt has a better idea for Setback's incap abilities I'll be killing a Firesworn with 4 proj damage since we can't play cards this round.  

Does taking out the Firesworn net damage against Voss? The Firesworn will be coming right back of course. Ex-Patriette can have the power use.

It either breaks even or allows for a bit more damage

OK, go for it!

Dark Expat deals 4 proj damage using tactical shotgun to Firesworn[x] with Setback's incap ability.  Unity is up next.

Comments:

Status quo.  But the decoy will get Voss' attention.  And now have a Mind Spike to do a bit of damage if needed.

Note: I'm doing some traveling today so I won't likely be able to post until late tonight.   So if Hasty Augmentation is played on Dark Watch Expat I can hit three targets for five fire damage so I'm fine with the group determining which minions I hit. Just remember the Firesworn are immune to that hit. 

Let's redirect the first instance of Champin Bot damage to Stealth Bot, so it should survive with 2 HP.

Wow, I'm impressed everyone survived. Maybe I could let Expat use a power now? The Hasty Augmentation would be serious overkill.

The Sentinels discard Horrifying Dichotomy to the Phosphorescent Chamber.

I have a third Positive Energy in my Hand, which will heal us all and kill off everything but the PsiWeaver.  Your call, though!

Dark Visionary discards Foresight.

Unity discards Scrap Metal.

All right, The Sentinels may play a card! You've got a lot of juicy cards in your hand there, and of course you'll also get a power use.

I discard a Flak Jacket

A Hasty Augmentation should allow me to kill off what's left and deal Voss 6 damage with the Assault Rifle.  

Also Unity has Volatile Parts in play shouldn't some minions have died from bots going down?   Depending on order the bots died it could prevent damage to us since it would be 3 Fire damage to the non hero target with the lowest health because of the environment.   The minions are all tied so Unity should have the choice when the bot dies.  

Edit: I'm not sure how much of villain turn redo it would cause but at the least the psi weaver could be taken out after Voss demolished the Raptor Bot

Voss blasted the Raptor bot since he was he lowest health during his attack.  

Unity, if you could kill the Psi-Weaver with Volatile Parts, that'd be spectacular, because I can wipe the board with the following...

On Setback's turn, The Sentinels play Unique Capabilities!

I search my deck and put Aura of Vision into play.  I draw Second Chance.  I play Positive Energy!

All Hero targets regain net 2 hp (Unity [12]; Champion Bot [4]; Mainstay [14]; Writhe [13]; Medico [10]; Idealist [9]; Visionary [13]; Expatriette [13]

Idealist then deals net 3 psychic damage to all Villain targets--all minions are killed.  Voss is at [34].

Dealing damage with Idealist nets me a Power use:

Idealist uses Telekinetic Jab, dealing net 3 psychic damage to Voss [31]. 

Also know you are wasting health if you let stealth bot die from its own attack, from an outside observer

Ok, how about this?

Voss kills Raptor Bot - Volatile Parts kills the Frosthound

Firesworn hits Visionary or Expat

Ion-Lancer deals 2 energy damage to Platform Bot [1]

Psi-Weaver hits Platform Bot first, kills it - Volatile Parts kills Psi-Weaver

Firesworn hits Visionary or Expat

Soldier deals 3 to Unity

Ion-Lancer deals 2 to Stealth [2]

This leaves:

Firesworn, Ion-Lancer, Firesworn, Soldier, Ion-Lancer [all 3]

Swift Bot [5], Stealth Bot [2], Champion Bot [8]

And all of the heroes avoid getting hit by the Frosthound and Psi-Weaver.

This is a placeholder for my turn. I need to go pass out, but I'll put something together in the morning. Tentative plan is Hasty Augmentation + Modular Workbench, get Raptor Bot in play, chew on Voss.

Draw: Brainstorm, Raptor Bot
End: Raptor Bot deals 7 melee damage to the Voss [17]

Yep Shotgun for 7 on Voss [24]

Much like yesterday I won't be able to post again until much later.   My plan for my turn is to play Pride and use it's power to deal Voss six damage from Pride and Prejudice.   If Voss is somehow still alive I'm discarding RPG launcher at the end of the environment turn unless I find something worse to discard from my draw.

-------------------------------------

Start of hero turn:  Expatriette may draw a card! (Aura of Vision)

Play a card: Blackout!  Writhe deals Voss net 3 melee damage [14].  Because Writhe dealt the damage, he deals Voss an additional net 3 infernal damage [11]

Sentinel Tactics triggers!  Block:  The Sentinels have DR 1 for the turn.

Use a power: Telekinetic Jab:  Idealist deals net 3 psychic damage to Voss [8].

Draw a card: Sentinel Tactics

The Sentinels have DR 1 until the start of their next turn (DR 2 for Mainstay). (Block)

At the start of The Sentinels' turn, if Idealist is active, one player may draw a card. (Aura of Vision)

Dark Visionary will Mind Spike Voss for 4 psychic [4].  This sets him up for Expatriette to dispatch him via Pride and Prejudice.

"Warlord Voss's Fortress"

I'd like to be under the sea
In the Warlord Voss's Fortress in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his Warlord Voss's Fortress in the shade

I'd ask the heroes to come and see
The Warlord Voss's Fortress with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In the Warlord Voss's Fortress in the shade

We would be warm causing a storm
In his little hideaway beneath the waves
Bashing his head on the sea bed
In the Warlord Voss's Fortress near a cave.
