Gambit can go next. Can try an elemental burst and attempt to blind someone

Am I missing something, or is there a reason why Nightcrawler is going one by one instead of teleporting everyone who's going at once?

As far as I can tell from the power as described, Teleport Together only allows for one target to be transported each time, unfortunately.

Unless our GM wants to allow for multiple targets, withe a corresponding cost increase.

Teleporting together needs direct contact, so I would say Nightcrawler can take 2 at a time, at double the cost.

Sounds good, I'll do Gambit and Jubilee the next round!

For Cyclops, the Blackbird does have an autopilot, so he could come aboard too and should be ok unless the other plane tries any evasive maneuvers.

I'm happy to have Scott hang back and maybe give support for now. If I get bored or if the fight runs too long, I'll have him ask Kurt to bring him over.
Jul 22, 2024 1:25 pm
Sounds good! I doubt it will take very long lol.

Maybe we can distract everyone while Nightcrawler teleports out the captive mutant? Either messing up the flight control like Wolverine was planning or Gambit can blow a hole in the side of the plane?

Just keep in mind you're heroes and crashing planes and killing people probably wouldn't be the best look lol.

That's what Kurt said earlier too, whether even entering a plane constitutes a violation, to be weighed against the rescue of a mutant.

Teleporting them out to save them is a great idea though!

I think it's also worth considering figuring out where the FoH was planning on taking the mutant. I realize that it probably would've been a good idea to follow the plane, but too late for that. We probably should interrogate someone at some point.

Did the bad guys take their turns yet? Also, are there a dozen individual enemies, or are they grouped as a mob? Thinking about giving them a good ol' razzledazzle to the eyes.

Still combat, just attacking an item instead of a person. Also you have your non-combat bonuses and your ability defenses swapped. No way to get a +16 on a roll lol. Non-combat should be +7, agility defense is 16. But you still succeed and get a fantastic success.
Oops, ha ha, that makes a lot of sense. I thought +16 was very weird. I fixed Gambit's character sheet.

That also makes sense about not wanting to kill anyone, I guess I was thinking too much like a cartoon that everyone would magically have parachutes and land safely or something. What's going on in game is working much better than what I was suggesting! Maybe while we're leaving the plane, one of the soldiers can be grabbed for interrogation?

Also, very out of character, but has anyone watched the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie? I really liked it and I thought it was quite appropriate for what we are playing now!

I was going to watch that this weekend!

Grabbing NPCs is a good solution. There are actually 3 ways to get the information, but I want to let everyone figure those out :P. I am on vacation this week (well staycation) and do plan to see the movie during this next week.

I just got home from seeing Deadpool and Wolverine. I laughed SO HARD at parts. It was insane. Loved it. No notes.
Stay till after the credits.

Lol I'll let you teleport the plane as an object...but people are not objects, so they will just be freefalling in air as the plane bamfs from around them haha,
Honestly, I feel like that would open that power up to a lot more shenanigans than the alternate of treating people as part of "things attached to or inside of it".

Maybe each of the X-Men minus Nightcrawler and Cyclops could escape with a parachute and an unconscious soldier to reduce how many people have to be teleported to the Blackbird? The pilot can also parachute his way out. Cyclops can shoot down the unoccupied plane so it doesn't hurt anyone and then fly back to get us. Whatever we do, we should probably tie up the unconscious guys so they don't mutiny on the Blackbird before they're taken over.
Having the X-Jet shoot down the plane is pretty bad optics, I think. I agree on tying up the FoH members though. Are we over the ocean by the way, or over a city?

Over the ocean but close to the coast.
Aug 6, 2024 3:58 am
Too early to ask I suppose, but I dunno if we're gonna to get some rest to recover Focus, seeing as it's a short scenario. I don't mind playing with the rest of Nightcrawler's other abilities, he shouldn't be a one trick pony.
