Meanwhile, deep inside The Iron Boot's lair, his mom's house, The Iron Boot sips away at a glass of tainted water. Nothing happens to him due to his mutant genetics. But when his mother drinks from the same glass, she starts convulsing... Then frothing at the mouth... Then she begins... To do the Monster Mash!! She jumps right out of the apartment building's 8th story window!! It was a graveyard smash!!

"Iron Mooooooom!! Nooooo!!"

The Iron Boot runs to the window and looks out. Iron Mom is flattened. But that's not all...

The whole city is on fire, loud music clashes with other insanely loud music, cars crash constantly, and glass breaks as more people shimmy and shake out of their skyscrapers!!

Completely immune to the water thanks to his mutant genes...
Completely hateful towards dancing of any kind thanks to his heavy Iron Boot...
And completely devoted to combatting evil, thanks to his mutated Iron morals...

The Iron Boot rushes to the Mutie Phone (his mom's cell phone on the kitchen counter) and calls up all of his low-tier "super"-powered mutant friends to help him stop the Disco Division's crimewave.

>Answer the call! (Character Creation is in the image!!)

There are 7 types of enemy mobs and 5 legendary arch-villains enlisted in the Disco Division. Let's learn who our enemies are! (stats subject to change)

There's Private Potato Salad, Lieutenant Limbo, Master Sergeant Stanky Legg, Major General Monkey Bravo, and their Supreme Commander, Tango.

They leads masses of manic malingerers! There are the Boom-Boxers, Jive Turkeys, Breaktrancers, Safety Dancers, Haka Hulks, Dagga Drivers and Ballroom Blitzers!

...

Wow! That's a lot of gallivanting goons!! Good thing each Mutant Mosher can move and use TWO (2) actions per turn!! (Basic Attacks, Mutant Powers, or Special Interactions)

Now, let's get this rinkydink ruse on the road with...

A tutorial fight!!

...

The Iron Boot makes it to the bottom floor of his apartment building, and greets his first-responder Mutant Mosher teammates (you) in the lobby! As they formulate a plan, none other than the puerile Private Potato Salad herself bursts through the window with a squad of a Boom Boxer, a Safety Dancer, and a Breaktrancer!

They're all grooving out to The Casualties and The Ramones. They flap their arms, bang their heads, and stamp their feet.

They spot The Iron Boot not dancing and ask what his deal is, man!

The crew of first responder mutants valiantly step to his defense.
"Hey! He may smell poorly..."
"...drool a lot..."
"...have a bad sense of fashion..."
"...and be a bit of a cranky coot!
"...But you've got to stop dancing! This is madness!"

They won't listen to reason, and they won't stop trying to get you to dance with them!! It's kind of tempting!!! It's a fight!!! They wanna dance you dead!!

>After you've created your Mutant Mosher, stage them in the PINK, NUMBERED STARTING ZONE. Tell me which pink numbered hex you wish to spawn in. Only one Mutant Mosher can occupy a hex at a time. The map in this image is the actual Tutorial map!

*** QM notes and schedule: ***

-PLAYERS CAN JOIN IN AT ANY TIME, even during battles. Just create a Mutant Mosher and tell me you want to join, I'll zoop you into the fight with my handy dandy New Character Zooper.

-A skirmish is a multiplayer quest, a fun and small commitment for both you and I. I will cap off created, active players at 12, if we make it that high. If anyone bails or doesn't take their turn in time before an update and we're waiting on them, late-comers may suggest actions for another character or create a new one at the expense of killing off an old one. Out of courtesy, try to give it ~5 turns before killing off an idle, living Mutant Mosher. This should give a grace period of about a day or two for idle players to return.

-Mechanics are subject to change; wildly, rapidly, mundanely, controversially, or otherwise.

-Deaths are permanent. If your Mutant Mosher dies, he's gone forever. You can make another and join the fight again immediately next turn, but they'll start somewhere far away on the map, and have beginner stats (only 10 stat points to allocate again).

-Sessions will be updated multiple times daily. Don't expect updates from Midnight-8AM PST, I'll probably be asleep. Otherwise, I'll try to update turns as soon as everyone's actions are in, or it's been "enough" time. ;) My intention is to run at least 2-3 or more full turns a day, making this skirmish paced medium or medium-fast. Not too hot, not too cold. Hopefully.

-During live sessions, a turn's length may be as low as ~4 hours before the next turn if I'm feeling really frisky. So if you don't have your turn in and we're waiting on you, you may get skipped or controlled by external forces (QM or other players). Don't sweat it, though, eez joest gaem.

-Now with 100% real vegetables

-We'll wait ~24 hours for people to join in and create their Mutant Moshers, then we'll start the Tutorial fight!

-Ask (questions) and you shall receive (answers). Thanks for joining the Mosh!

>Once a member of the Disco Division himself, The Humorless Bard was kicked out for his gross musical incompetence and awful attitude working against the goals of the organization to cause people to dance. Swearing revenge against the "tasteless troglodytes", The Humorless Bard began actively resisting the Division's efforts to surprising success. He is very driven, and has trained himself to withstand powerful blows, whether physical or otherwise. The Bard was originally given his moniker by the Division as a way to mock him, but now he wears it with pride, showing the just how "Humorless" he can really be.
>He's literally hurt the feelings of countless evildoer with "Wicked Jeer", dealing a small amount of damage and focusing the targets attention on himself!

Lightning Larry aka That one Static Electricity Guy

>As a kid Larry lived in a house with carpeted floors and 2 siblings. One particularly dry day both siblings zapped him with static electricity at the same time a solar flare occurred. The result caused Larry to develop minor electric powers though he would always claim it was due to a lightning strike to sound more impressive. While he has been active for a while his trackrecord isn't too impressive but he did stop the Pacemaker-Gang. The fights against the Cheese-Crooks and the Human Insulator were all done by some impostor who was clearly ruining his name, as he will explain to anyone who mentions those embarrassments.

>His Shocking Grasp allows him to deliver as the name suggests a (minor static) shock to anything he touches.
>His Photon Flashbang is literally blinding as long as the bad guys look at him and aren't blinking when he uses it
> And finally there is his most powerful technique the Magnetizer.

Current roster:
The Iron Boot - 21HP | 3 Move | Resist 21 | 1d10 basic attack
The Humorless Bard - 25HP | 3 Move | Resist 35 | 1d6 basic attack, Range 5
That One Static Electricity Guy - 20HP | 4 Move | Resist 13 | 1d9 basic attack

>>5272637
Someone with inside intel, we can always use someone like you! It's also quite nice to have someone in the squad with the rare RANGED basic attack!! While most other super schmucks like the Iron Boot and That One Static Electricity Guy have to get close to physically harm foes with basic attacks, The Humorless Bard has a basic attack that allows him to throw a sour note up to 5 tiles away! Just imagine if that wicked power was utilized for evil by the Disco Division! Glad you're on our side.

It's estimated that only about one in 6 Mutant Moshers develop a ranged attack, or about 2 or 3 max per group at any given time. However, with the right Mutant Powers or some creative Special Interactions, no Mutant Mosher is truly left without ranged options.


>>5272685
>>As a kid Larry lived in a house with carpeted floors and 2 siblings
God damn I love good foreshadowing like that. Wait, did anything happen to the 2 siblings? Also, nice character. So far you're the quickest of the group with 4 Movement Points!

All Mutant Powers accepted as well, I'll fully flesh out their mechanics soon.

Here are your stat blocks, complete with Mutant Powers. Let me know if you had something else in mind, or any changes you'd like to see, and we can workshop it.

>The Humorless Bard - 25HP | 3 Move | Resist 35 | 1d6 basic attack, Range 5
Wicked Jeer, Cooldown: 1 turn. Deals a basic attack to any foe at UNLIMITED RANGE! Attack anyone on the map with a nasty quip, just know they'll be coming for you... With a +3 mod to attacks on you!!!
Revolting Refrain, Cooldown: Cooldown: 2 turns. Removes all dance effects on all other Mutant Moshers in Range 2. Can't target self.**
Showtime Staunchness, Cooldown: 3 turns! Heals 2HP per friend or foe within Range 2. Cannot heal past full HP. If amount healed surpasses Full HP, remove all Dances from The Humorless Bard.
Dur: 5, Str: 0, Mag: 1, Spd: 0, Cha: 4
**Couldn't think of a compromise on the "losing momentum" part, but I think it's still balanced. Here are some proposals I've thought up:
Proposal A: Leave as is (default option)
Proposal B: Turn it into a single target move and allow self-targeting, increase the Range to 5 and lower the Cooldown to 1.
Proposal C: Increase Cooldown to 3, and add a +20 mod to Resisting a new Dance for 1 turn.
Proposal D: Increase Range to 3, and add a -15 mod to Resisting a new Dance for 1 turn.
Proposal E: Write in

>That One Static Electricity Guy (Larry) - 20HP | 4 Move | Resist 13 | 1d9 basic attack
Shocking Grasp, Cooldown: 0 turns! Adds +3 to his basic attack dice, but gives a cumulative -10 to Resists until next turn.
Photon Flashbang, Cooldown: 2 turns. All enemies in Range 3 have all of their rolls halved until your next turn.
Magnetizer, Cooldown 3 turns! Removes any Dancing effects on self and deals 1d10 damage to all goons (Non-BOSS foes) in Range 3. Affected foes who don't die prioritize Larry for attack next round.
Dur: 2, Str: 2, Mag: 4, Spd: 2, Cha: 0

>Seneca, Disco Foreteller - 17HP | 4 Move | Resist 29 |1d10 basic attack
Rearranger, Cooldown: 1 turn. Can control a friend or foe within Range 5, and make them move up to 5 tiles away from their current hex.
ULTRACORE, Cooldown: 1 turn. Sacrifice 1HP, then attack a foe within Range 5 for 1d20 damage!
The Question And The Answer, Cooldown: 1 turn. All goons (Non-BOSS foes) within Range 2 cannot inflict Dancing effects next turn, only attack damage. This also deals basic attack damage to ONE (1) ADJACENT (Range 1) enemy, which you may announce or leave up to chance.
Dur: 1, Str: 0, Mag: 5, Spd: 2, Cha: 2

>>5273108
>Revolting Refrain compromise
I mainly put in "losing momentum" in as a downside to the ability (in the form of -1 Action or losing movement or something), but if you think it's fine without it, I'm happy with how it is. Though maybe, could we give it a malus to movement (next turn if doing it current turn is too hard?) in exchange for reducing the cooldown or extending the range? How does that sound? Giving a malus to resisting a new dance doesn't make much thematic sense to me.

That +3 Mod to attacks against me in Wicked Jeer is for damage right? Would it be possible to change the +3 against me into a -3 on the attack or something? I have precedent for this in describing it as a "small amount of damage". I don't like the idea of it giving a bonus against me, kind of diminishes the "tank" idea by making me less tanky, so I'd like to try to work in some other disadvantage to the ability. Also, Basic Attacks don't have a cooldown, right? So I'd be able to Basic Attack independent of the Wicked Jeer cooldown?

Showtime Staunchness is exactly how I envisioned it, looks good.

Is it just me or is ULTRACORE insane?

>>5273127
Actually, I didn't envision the Dance self heal in Showtime Staunchness. Perhaps reducing cooldown by 1 in exchange for removing the self-Dance-remove? Though maybe not, it kind of makes sense both thematically and design-wise. Eh, maybe I'll sleep on it.

>>5273141
As for basic attacks, yes, there is no Cooldown. You could basic attack twice a turn every turn, provided there are targets nearby.

I think your compromise on Wicked Jeer is a good change, let me know if you'd like to stick with it, as of now, I plan on using it. It'll keep unlimited range, but I plan to reduce the damage a bit or set it low, and remove the modifier as suggested.

However, if I reduce the Cooldown on Staunchness, I would have to reduce the Range or HP healed to 1 to keep it balanced. Let me know if you want either of those changes.

>>5272711
>God damn I love good foreshadowing like that. Wait, did anything happen to the 2 siblings?

Well, lets say that if Larry dies he will be avenged

>One freak accident is all it takes to turn one into freak. Cristal would know this as during the night she was helping in reptile house of zoo a truck would barrel through the wall. When she woke up after being hit by the truck or debris it did seem like she was stuck in rubble and surrounded by radioactive crystals and now freed reptiles. After coming to her senses she noticed that rubble felt surprisingly light. When the rescuers came she was already standing at crash site looking how she now had reptile like claws and scaled arms, legs and tail with some sort of poison flowing between scales and claws crystalizing when it got outside. She has mostly used her powers when something has disturbed her peace while she rested in the warm light and now this music is getting on her nerves.

>Crystaline Claws: Extends claws by crystalising poison on while leaving some to leak.
>Crystaline Shell: Pumps extra crystaline poison to scaled body parts to create an armor.
>Poison Wave: Plashes crystaline poison on enemies around her to slow down or stop them by encasing them in crystal.

> Dur:6, Str:3, Mag:1, Spd:0, Cha:0

>>5273233
I'd like to stick with my compromise of Wicked Jeer, yes.

For Staunchness, I'll keep it as is.

>>5273127
The Humorless Bard's Mutant Powers are solidified!
>ULTRACORE OP?
1d20 can still be a really weak hit like a 3, and as it stands, only 2 of the 7 goons would be 1HKO'd with a 20 roll (only 2 with a 19, and they are purposefully frail), so I think it'll be okay. I think it fits the character as a whole, especially since they're not heavy on HP themselves. Kind of like a glass cannon.

>>5273248
Don't talk like that, Larry, we'll make it through this fucking unbearable music and the lunatics dancing to it!!

Another first responding Mutant Mosher answers the call!

>Crystalline Riptail (Cristal) - 28HP | 3 Move | Resist 7 | 1d8 basic attack
A freaky female with a forked, toxic tongue and bulging bio-crystal muscles! She's serpentine, crystalline, just plain mean!!
Crystalline Claws, Cooldown 1 turn. Reach out up to Range 3 and perform a basic attack with a +1 damage mod! If you attack an adjacent foe (Range 1), it's a +3 damage mod instead!!
Crystalline Shell, Cooldown 2 turns. Gives you a shield preventing up to 10 damage from the first attack you defend against next turn. You also auto-roll up to 3 Nat100's on your Resistance Rolls against Dances next turn.
Poison Wave, Cooldown 0 turns! Name ONE (1) of the 8 Deadly Dance to prevent. This Dance cannot be applied by foes for ONE (1) turn. You also gain +1 Move this turn. **
Dur:6, Str:3, Mag:1, Spd:0, Cha:0

**With its 0 turn Cooldown, Poison Wave can be used twice in a turn to completely nullify any one type of goon's Dances at a time. i.e.: Using it twice and preventing both Headbanging and Finger Snapping would mean that no Boom-Boxer on the map could inflict any Dances, only damage. Find goon stats on pastebin.com/R77Xbfye

I won't mention this going forward for the sake of brevity, but if there's something you'd like to change about your new Mutant Mosher (especially Mutant Powers), then please let me know and feel free to make suggestions as exampled with The Humorless Bard (>>5273127)

We'll be deploying in about 4 hours!!

New Mutant Moshers are free to join at any time!!

There is an incentive to all "first responding mutants" who deploy before the first Enemy Phase occurs -- they will get an ADDITIONAL +1 Stat Point at the end of the map if they can survive the Tutorial!

Private Potato Salad mocks The Iron Boot relentlessly. She moves in, about to begin striking him with a dance move when she realizes she's outnumbered!! There are at least 5 Mutant Moshers, and only 4 Disco Division soldiers!!

She beats a hasty, very stylish retreat, and commands her men to make you dance! Cuz your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they're... No friends of theirs!

OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE 4 TURNS or DEFEAT PRIVATE POTATO SALAD!!
>State your Mutant Mosher name or Stat Block and choose a pink numbered dino to deploy on!!! If you feel confident, go ahead and state your first turn as well. Look at The Iron Boot's example in the next post.

Hey, who drew all over the mission map?? Larry!!!

"LET'S FIGHT E-VIL!!!"

>The Iron Boot deploys on Pink Dino #5
>Move 116 aka NW, NW, W
"Darn, I'm just out of range from that Boom-Boxer, or I'd give him the ol' Iron Stomp!! However, I can still..."
>Use Atomic Weld! Next attack has a +5 mod!! It's on 1 turn cooldown and can't be used the rest of this turn or next turn.
"Hmm, I still have another action I can use, but I'm not in range for a Basic Attack or a Mutant Power! I can either just end my turn now... Or use a Special Interaction!! Hmmm... I got nothin!"
>End turn

Reminders:
-One man per hex, hex cannot be more than 50% covered by obstacles like mountains or buildings. The only tiles in play on this map are the light grey hexes. You can move thru friends but not foes.
-Actions happen in the order they are taken, please look at the actions that came before you to help you decide yours.
-If small mistakes are made, I'll try to solve it amicably without communication, to save on update times.
-Directions for movement are in >>5272531 picrel, the orange hexagon: NW 1, NE 2, E 3, SE 4, SW 5 and W 6.

>>5273690
When I have a modifier to damage, like some dances and Wicked Jeer can do, does that change the face of the die I use, or do I use my normal die and apply the modifier to the damage?

Do you think you could add what enemy symbol on the map corresponds to which enemy name in the pastebin?

Also, what is the range of B-Boy Bonk?

>>5273746
>apply the modifier to the damage?
This one.
>Add symbols/map key for enemies?
Wonderful idea, I'll also add the compass

But they smile and dance for all the wrong reasons!

Processing Disco Phase...

Rolled 53 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

Dance roll

youtube.com/watch?v=d1J3NLNWAPU

Private Potato Salad waltzes up to the apparent powerhouse of the group, Crystalline Riptail, and hits her with a Basic Attack. As a Boss, she bypasses all Resistance, and immediately applies Finger Snapping to Cristal!!

Even if she wasn't a Boss, Finger Snapping has a +10 infection rate mod, making it the hardest Dance to avoid! And with Cristal's sorely low Resistance of only 7, she had no chance of resisting Finger Snapping from any source at this point.

We still roll a Dance die to see how long the Dance lasts, and a Resistance roll, even now, just in case it would affect the outcome.

Rolled 3 (1d7)

Cristal's Resistance roll (Might wanna get that CHA, MAG or SPD up to improve this, or you'll be extra vulnerable to Dancing!)

Rolled 2 (1d10)

^Private Potato Salad's attack roll
(Cristal takes this much damage)
______

63 Dance - 3 Resist = 60 over!

>>5272534
50+ over = 3 turns of Dancing.

All of your rolls face a flat -2 mod for 3 turns or until you stop Finger Snapping!!

"Oh no, they got to Cristal!!"

______

The Safety Dancer comes up next to test his mettle against the group...

Rolled 35 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

BATTLE THEME: youtube.com/watch?v=PHRIvssIfHo

The Safety Dancer drops his radio and thinks about reaching for his Disco Biscuit Launcher, but ends up staying in place and unleashing a wild-in-the-streets Ranged Basic Attack on The Humorless Bard!! Can he get this grumpy old bard to snap his fingers too? He's got a much better chance at resisting the Dance than his crystalline, poison friend.

Dance Roll! (+10 mod again because it's Finger Snapping!)

Rolled 27 (1d35)

C'mon, don't start dancing now, pal! You gotta Resist that!!

Resistance roll for Sour Grapes!

Rolled 4 (1d6)

^Safety Dancer damage roll (Bard loses this much HP)
________________________________

45 Dance - 27 Resist = 18 over!

The Humorless Bard begins Finger Snapping, but only for 1 turn!! Thank goodness, we have business to do, man!

The Iron Boot shouts out to Cristal "Don't worry, I'll stomp on your toes so you stop dancing! :)"

She shoots back a look like she doesn't want to talk to or associate with that smelly nerd.

No time for squabbles now, that weakling Breaktrancer moves 3wards (East) and smacks Lightning Larry with...

Rolled 75 (1d100)

A basic attack!!

Here's the Dance roll!

Breaktrancer is aggro'd on The Humorless Bard due to his Wicker Jeer, but can't reach him! In cases like this, foes will seek out other targets. Poor Larry.

This one applies the Dance known as Popping and Locking, a very expressive form of Dance that prevents all Actions!! You can still Move, and enemies will not attack you! Choose your Actions (wisely) anyway though, this Dance (as well as Tangoing) are unique in that you roll again every turn to try to overcome them.

Rolled 5 (1d13)

That One Static Electricity Guy does his best to Resist! Or is that his trickster doppelganger?

Rolled 2 (1d5)

Attack roll! (Larry loses this much HP)
______________________________________
Oh no, he can't resist the very intricate Dance!
He's Popping and Locking for 3 turns!!
Enemies will avoid him, but he may be unable to act!!

The Iron Boot sees that the Popping and Locking is a much bigger threat to the operation than any Finger Snapping! "I'll help you, don't worry, Larry!"

Do you ignore the Safety Dancer to focus on the goal, and smash Private Potato Salad first?
Or is he too much of a nuisance to leave alone?
Either way, don't let that Breaktrancer smack your group with his B-Boy Bonk next turn!

"Using my Atomic Weld boosted Basic Attack on the Breaktrancer would be a sure kill, but maybe I can provide more tactical value by targeting the stronger Safety Dancer..."
>Move 661
"I got you, Larry, you can stop gyrating and humping the air like a fool, now!"
>Toe-Step on Lightning Larry, freeing him from Popping and Locking, but taking away 1HP from him (17HP left on Larry).
"Now it's time to show you whippersnappers why you always fear old men in a profession like crimefighting..."
>Atomic Weld boosted Iron Stomp!!! (Basic attack roll is doubled, then a +5 mod is added)
"Eat this, Safety Dancer!! I'm gonna shove those Disco Biscuits where the sun don't shine!!! Wait, no, I bet you'd like that!"

19-10-11 = -2/22 HP - Safety Dancer is K.O.!!

(Changing your movement to 65 or 6654 rather than 665 so you are in Basic Attack range)

-2HP to Breaktrancer, 4/12 HP remaining!!

>>5274138
Hah... Hah... Hah...

Due to your Finger Snapping, you deal only 3 damage! The Breaktrancer snickers at you, escaping the ordeal with 1HP remaining!! Luckily, you are no longer afflicted by the filthy "Dance".

If only Cristal were similarly free from the Dance... Maybe she can just power through the effects?

Private Potato Salad still mocks us with a full 25 HP.

Can Larry and Cristal squash the last goon?
Will any more Mutant Moshers join this frantic fray?
How will The Iron Boot afford a funeral for his deceased mother?

Both remaining member of the Disco Division stand and deliver!!

Due to genius formation tactics, the imperiled goon can only hit Seneca and Larry with the B-Boy Bonk! Luckily it won't check for Dancing, since The Answer & The Question & The Needle & The Damage Done took care of that!

Brace for impact, you two, here comes the pain!!

Rolled 77 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

Private Potato Salad snakes Westward twice, then hits Seneca with another Basic Attack! Private Potato Salad had another weaker ranged attack with a different Dance, but she won't be able to use it!!

Fight off the Finger Snapping if you can resist, Seneca!!

Rolled 3 (1d10)

Fight, fight, fight!! Don't snap those fingers...!!!

Alas, it's useless. Even with a max roll of 29, you'd still be stuck snapping your fingers for 3 turns. Luckily it's only a -2 mod and not something more serious.

Now face the music and take the damage!

If the fucking leaf had gotten luckier and this roll was high, Seneca could've been dead, forever. It's that easy. Remember that in non-tutorial missions!! Protect the weak and tank out the beefy!

No worries, unfortunately it's too late to hit the Photon Flashbang to any effect, but feel free to use it against the cad now in Phase 3, in case she keeps going after Seneca with her remaining goon! There's a real danger there!

And remember, you can perform up to 2 actions per turn! While you're in there, hit a Shocking Grasp or Basic Attack, too!

In more dire circumstances, other players or I may suggest actions to be used for any absent person's turn in pursuit of preservation of that Mutant or the mission/Moshers at large.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They're as ornery as cornered skunks now!

Take it to 'em!! Private Potato Salad still has full HP, but his only backup is left at 1HP!

Take the goon out, and the Boss's Basic Attack has no chance of killing Seneca, but will you be sacrificing the bonus if you fail to beat the Boss in time?

You're trying to formulate a plan, but the ruckus of Port Polka is intensifying and getting louder!!

From the distance more amps approach, all feedbacking flagrantly, and... Marching. Lots of haphazard marching footsteps.

You've got 2 or 3 turns until that army gets close and you've got to skedaddle. Get a jumpstart by defeating the zone's Boss! No matter what, you gotta survive!

The Iron Boot steps back to get his breath, and to let the young guns hound the fame, before making his own move.

Map 0 cleared!

>+4 Stat Points to all Mutant Moshers!!
Go ahead and spend these on your attributes now! Remember that 10 is the cap!

Maps get bigger and enemies get badder, maybe you need more Move? Invest in Spd! 2 SPD = 1 Move!
Future maps also get more populated with enemies, do you have enough HP? Invest in Dur!
What about attack power and resistance to dance? Don't forget about your Mag, Str and Cha stats!

Everyone should have a total of 14 distributed stat points before the deploying in the next mission. (You may only add points to an attribute, not subtract or move them around.)

~~~

The Iron Boot's stat upgrades:
DUR: 2 -> 3
STR: 5
MAG: 1
SPD: 0 -> 2
CHA: 2 -> 3

~~~

Okay, I maaayyyyy have to nerf ULTRACORE a bit after all (lower attack dice or increase Cooldown or HP loss) I feel kinda cheap doing it now so I won't change it just yet, especially since the battles and bosses only get more difficult from here on out!! You have been warned!

--BRIEF INTERMISSION WHILE I EAT BREAKFAST--

**Newcomers (if any) can have +1 to their stats for a total of 11 attribute points, so long as they type in all caps, "THANK YOU, FIRST RESPONDERS!"**

I am humiliated that I succumbed to snapping my fingers, even for only a single turn. I must train to avoid this ever happening again.

Here we go, Mutant Moshers, listen up!

We've broken out of the apartment building where Iron Mom died, rushed passed her corpse, and defeated one of the main culprits who caused her death in the first place.

But screeching speakers from the approaching Army scream so loudly, The Humorless Bard's ears begin to bleed!

We've got to get out of the city!!

Run, Mutant Moshers, run!!!!!!!!!!!

You can hear Lieutenant Limbo and his hit squad of Ballroom Blitzers coming for you...

(Picrelated, just the top row and Obstacles for this map)
The terrain here is much different than before, pay attention!! In addition to the mundane Rocky Road, which transfers no bonuses or penalties...
There is a patch of Jungle Jam in the West, which makes it easier to Resist a Dance when you stand in it!
Misty Mountain tiles also give you the same +10 Resistance against Dances, but watch out -- moving through one Misty Mountain tile costs 2 Movement Points!!
If you've got to traverse the map quickly, go through the path of least resistance (aka avoid Misty Mountain tiles)!

File: BATTLE 1, YOU STANK MUTHAHS!.png (2.22 MB, 3824x1674)

2.22 MB PNG

In the heat of the pursuit, our forces get completely scattered all over the map!!

To the north, Lt. Limbo and his main force look to hunt you through the streets, mountains and jungles if need be.

Hidden in the Lieutenant's low-hanging pocket are a pair of Breaktrancers, and Boom-Boxers are scattered around the field, accented with a few gargantuan Haka Hulks.

The Iron Boot realizes he's been separated from the main force of Mutant Moshers. "Drats..."

He calls out loud to the group, "reunite and dig in, Mutant Moshers!! We fight them here!! Leave not a single dancer, prancer, dasher or vixen standing!!!"

OBJECTIVE: ROUT THE ENEMY!!!!
>It's Mosher Phase 1!! Deploy on a Pink Dino** and make your moves and actions!!
**Only one Mutant can deploy from any given Dino, pay attention to which ones your teammates deploy from, and where they land, of course!

We've got approximately... 5 or 6 hours, then the Division Phase begins!!

Seneca, Disco Foreteller - 19HP | 4 Move | Resist 43 |1d11 basic attack

Crystalline Riptail (Cristal) - 29HP | 3 Move | Resist 21 | 1d10 basic attack
DUR: 6, STR: 5, MAG: 1, SPD: 0, CHA: 2

(Stats and a Mutant Power or two still need to be updated on the pastebin. That's coming later today.)

Crystalline Riptail and The Humorless Bard, having only 3 movement points, cannot move through 2 Misty Mountain tiles in one turn!!

Luckily, Poison Wave can get Cristal an extra Movement Point or two if she really needs to run, and her Crystalline Claws can reach out a solid 3 tiles!
The Humorless Bard is similarly blessed with his ranged attacks! But if he should need to run away, he could get easily cornered in the Misty Mountains! You've been warned!!

[The Iron Boot will deploy last and in the most isolated and inconvenient position, for lulz, mainly]

We are severely outnumbered and they have some really scary enemies here. Unless something is going on that we don't see or they don't all immediately go for us for some reason, I find it hard to see us winning this.

>>5275020
All Cooldowns and HP are refreshed at the start of a new map

(With the Misty Mountain terrain, you can only move 2, 3 this turn unfortunately, but next turn you can move once onto a Misty Mountain tile and then twice on Rocky Road tiles! Watch out for the Boss and his Ballroom Blitzers, though, you may want to hide for a turn or two!)

You'll be out of this mountainous muck in no time. But for now, you're still well within range to smack that Boom Boxer into next week!

7+3 (Shocking Grasp)
10+3 (Shocking Grasp)
23 damage = 2/25 HP remaining on BoomBoxer closest to Lt. Limbo.

-20 Resist from Shocking Grasps, +10 from terrain. Net -10 Resist roll next turn.

Wow, what a lunkhead!! You just about gave him your best shot!! How did he withstand all that damage?! He's groggy though, you could blow on him and he'd fall over now!!

Did all the other Mutant Moshers deploy in the Jungle Jam and Rocky Roads, or was there another hero there to help him in the early goings?

Yes, harken to the south! The Humorless Bard jumps in and annihilates the Boom-Boxer by quite literally blowing on him! He's got quite the strong breath!!

He goes for a Wicked Jeer and bellows "Yours is a lost CLAWS!"

The Boom-Boxer thinks hard, hand on his hip and other on his chin. "I don't remember signing any contracts..."

"No, like cause! Lost cause, get it?"

The Wicked Jeer tickles the inside of the Boom-Boxer's brain, but barely does 1 damage.

Quick change to OBJECTIVE so we don't get stuck traversing mountains for 3 turns...

Instead of routing ALL enemies, you've got to rout 10 enemies (Just 9 to go!)

The enemy will ostensibly have to call off the attack after suffering such heavy casualties to a force less than half its size.

Protect each other and yourselves, you don't want to perma-die and start as a weaker Mutant!

>Possible Mission 1 Rewards:

I should specify there are two Boom-Boxers in this, the first one killed by a basic attack and a second one tickled by a Wimpy Jeer

>>5275066
Oh crap, all this dark grey terrain was Misty Mountain? I've made a terrible mistake, I thought the actual Mountains on the map were Misty Mountains.

il write my moves soon but what is the range of poison wave as it is not written anywhere it seems to be 1

Those Ballroom Blitzers are also rather flimsy with just 17 HP, and they have a penchant for running right at you, even all the way from across the map. So they'll come to you, just prepare to wallop 'em when they do come, and you'll stack 4 easy kills.

Lieutenant Limbo, while being a high value target, still counts as only one kill.
Avoid him to have everyone stay alive easier, or kill him for the juicy +2 Stat Points at the end of the mission.
Some intel on this absolute beast of a limbo-man: He's got 35HP and a 1d16 basic attack that attacks all directions in Range 1. Yep, you read that right. And his special move, Limbo-Tango, auto-applies both namesake Dances to a Mutant Mosher within Range 5, with no chance of Resisting.

>>5275083
I knew that would happen, that's my fault and also kind of a limitation of the software I was using, they really limit terrain colors for the free version. Your posted move is still valid, though.

>>5275084
Poison Wave technically has infinite range and applies to all enemies.
If you use it once to prevent Limboing, no enemy can apply Limboing to any Mutant Mosher on the next phase. You also get +1 Move that turn.
If you use it twice to prevent Limboing AND Tangoing, those Dances CANNOT be inflicted on any Mutant Mosher next phase no matter what. You also get +2 Move that turn.

>>5275084
You could even act as a dance jammer by foregoing attacks, and just using Poison Wace twice every turn to prevent Lt. Limbo from ever applying Limbo or Tango to anyone. He can still pack a wallop with his attack dice, don't forget that, though. And his buddies can deal damage and infect you with other dances, too, so don't forget about them.

Rolling to convince the other Breaktrancer to join your side. Normally this would be nigh impossible, a 5% chance, but with your mighty display of ULTRACORE power, it's now a 10% chance. Rolls of 19/20 will convert the Breaktrancer for 3 turns. 1-18 will do nothing.

The Iron Boot and Cristal head away from the scary Haka Hulk-protected Jungle Jam, and venture into a Misty Mountain hop. The vet stomps away, puncturing the shell and the lung of the nearby. Cristal protects the entire squad by emitting two distinct types of toxic crystal reptile pheromones!! No would ever think of beginning to HEADBANG or FINGERSNAP next turn! Fugettabouttit!

The powerful Disco Foreteller knew that standing in place and following the doctrine of ULTRACORE would lead her/him(???) to victory. Xim/xer actually gets so cocky as to think they can sway an enemy to the Mutant Mosher side, and it almost works, until the remaining Breaktrancer sees that Seneca is all alone at the end of a Rocky Road, and she's easy picking if the main army decides to swoop in on her.

The Sour Grapes Humorless Bard (did I mention he's a traitor, also?) swoops in and takes all the credit for defeating a Boom-Boxer after Lightning Larry obviously put it most of the work, putting everything on the line to mildly shock his foe into a defeat. He'll be at a disadvantage should any dastardly dancer try to make him join them in their display of decay.

Oh man, we never had a chance of running away! We're totally outnumbered on all fronts! This brawl could get ugly... Make sure Seneca is okay, they're all alone! The Disco Foreteller already has poor HP and is sacrificed 2HP to ULTRACORE THE FUCK OUT OF THAT BITCHASS BREAKTRANCER, YEAH HE GOT MURKED!!!

At least we've managed to cause a traffic jam and prevent Lt. Limbo from acting this turn!!

But we can't stop one of his Ballroom Blitzers from breaking formation to come straight for Seneca's throat!! Watch out!!!!!!

It's using it's Special Attack, Boogie Down!! It's going to try to make you do the Jitterbug!! That dance is like, sooooo antiquated, don't let it happen!

Rolled 97 (1d100)

Jitterbug Dance application roll!

This devilish dance will make your basic attack use Magic instead of Strength... Wait, you already do that! That's not so bad...

But it also gives you a -25 to resisting other Dances!

Rolled 9 (1d43)

Resist the Jitterbug with all your might, Disco Foreteller!!! You've got the second highest Res stat, that's gotta count for SOMETHING!

You're already at 75% HP and the Boom-Boxer near you is winding up for his attack next...

You gotta fight back!! You may even need help from a friend! But who?? Everyone is stitched in!!

3 TURNS of no using STR and a -25 mod to Res!!

Luckily that won't even come in to play when the Boom-Boxer tries to make you Headbang!! The Crystalline Riptail's pheromones from her Poison Wave make it so that no one would be caught DEAD starting to Headbang this turn! What is it, the 80's??? (Anyone already Headbanging before Poison Wave would be stuck Headbanging, like a total L7)

His claw still has potential to hurt though, quite a bit in fact!!

The Disco Foreteller survives, for now...

Rolled 7, 6 = 13 (2d8)

On the central front, Lightning Larry is pelted by twin Ballroom Blitzers, one trying to get him to Interpretive Freestyle, the second one trying to get him to Jitterbug. Both take a chunk out of his HP!!

Rolled 55, 48 = 103 (2d100)

Seneca HP - 9/19, seriously guys, find a way to help or she may not last another round!

Larry himself is getting maimed though, with only 11/24 HP!! Beat a tactical retreat, Larry!

Now come those devilish Dance rolls!!

Rolled 10, 7 = 17 (2d22)

Larry's no slouch, he can defend himself!!

The dances are going to take him, the Jitterbugging hardly matters since he's a MAG main, but that Interpretive Freestyling is bad news!! Larry's never had to deal with fighting the urge to dance like this!!

Rolled 6 (1d20)

2 turns each on those Dances, champ. Ouch.

Don't worry about the Jitterbugging, it essentially won't affect you in any way now.

That Interpretive Freestyling... Thing... You're doing might make you do something entirely different than your command!

Continue entering your commands as usual, but QM will roll 1d4 for 2 turns, and if it's a 1, QM will control Lightning Larry and choose a wacky action for him to do.

C'mon Bard, Larry is risking his life for you! Help him out!
Or is helping the Disco Foreteller more pertinent?
A Catch 22 just for you, my friend!!

The relentless assault wraps up in the west as a lumbering Haka Halk charges at yours truly, The Iron Boot, with his basic attack, trying to get me to start River Dancing!! How preposterous!! But he can pack a fucking WALLOP!!

The Haka Hulk brays and snorts, not the most intelligent creature in the Disco Division.

The Haka Hulk is clearly enticed by Crystalline Riptail's challenge, even though The Iron Boot is still within it's range.

But who is he truly aggro towards? (affects who he chooses as his target next turn)
1 - Crystalline Riptail
2 - Iron Boot

"Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage!" I can't help but yell out this random lyric while I Riverdance in place like a mental patient.

The Haka Hulk gets ready to sidestep Crystalline Riptail. The Iron Boot is too out in the open to avoid the pummeling.

That Haka Hulk has a 55% of killing me next turn... Truly all I can do is pray to RNGesus now.

Without a leader, the Mutant Moshers momentarily fall into disarray, but quickly bolster their spirits for the fight they are in.

Just so all of our guys don't die. Maybe they will anyway. Fuck, my bad, guys. I'm still learning.

Looks like our best bet to save our friends includes Larry and the Bard focusing on the already weakened Ballroom Blitzer, and perhaps having a new Mutant come in and finish them.

If that happened, the mission would be complete if and when another Mutant were to appear where Seneca died on the Rocky Road and avenged her by slaying that severely maimed Ballroom Blitzer, but we've only got one shot at that... Gotta make it count.

Cristal, it looks like you may be a little too far away to make many meaningful moves, I suggest Special Interactions and/or Poison Waves!

>>5275815
That Ballroom Blitzer should be dead now. Shocked and magnetized to a crisp.

>NEW OBJECTIVE: Survive one more enemy phase, or defeat one more enemy

Studying the map and everyone's abilities, it seems as though it's likely up to new Mutant Moshers (QM, HARDCORE, or a new player) to spawn on the Pink Dinos and kill another goon real quick. That one in the East is particularly vulnerable. Don't forget that you can suggest ranged Mutant Powers for your Mutant.

The Humorless Bard and Crystalline Riptail would be hard pressed to find a way to defeat another goon this turn since the goons nearby are so beefy. They'll need to be extremely creative with Special Interactions to influence the end of this battle, or it's likely that more of our friends will die.

It's up to the Special Interactions of the living, or the fresh Actions of the new Mutant Moshers.

(In the next maps I have written/saved already, I'll go back and reduce enemy density, since it only gets thicker from here. I must admit I expected at least 2-3 more players. I'm not disappointed though, since I'm already fudging up here with 5 players, myself included. I'm grateful I don't have a dozen commands to mess up. I'm also grateful all of you are sticking with the quest so far. I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be ironed out or improved.)

After many hours of fleeing through the Jungle Jam to escape any pursuers, the Mutant Moshers find a sanctuary in the middle of the Jungle. Unlike all the other monkeys in the jungle, the apes inside the sanctuary don't dance or hoot and holler.

"Fur is disgusting... Eyuck. At least they're not flinging their..." -Cristal

The Palewalker wonders aloud how monkeys taste, perhaps paired with roasted brussel sprouts and a chilled red wine, maybe even sangria. This freaks everybody out, even the zen gorillas.

While Lightning Larry continues playing with the chimps, The Humorless Bard, a reject of the Disco Division steps forward in awe, "Incredible... Supreme Commander Tango mentioned such places, but I thought he was telling tall tales..."

The discovery is interrupted by a silence in the jungle, a cessation of all animal noises except for the chorus of loud bugs... Then, screeching feedback spills all over the jungle, making birds fly away and mammals cover their ear holes.

In the distance, Master Sergeant Stanky Legg picks up a microphone and spits: "Yo, suckaz, me and my Dagga Drivers iz finna finnnnnnd youuuu!!! You can't hide from us in these trees forever! Mutant Mosherssssss... Come out and plaaaayyyyyy-ayyyyyy..."

One lone Dagga Driver doesn't get the message, and looks to make a name for himself, but gets stuck traversing the Misty Mountains in the southeast.

Picking up his slack in east is a Safety Dancer, who moves 6665 and uses his Disco Biscuit Launcher to try to get Cristal Limboing!! That's a huge debuff if it takes hold, and it only gets worse if she is afflicted with a second Dance afterward! The damage kind of just... Tickles...

Rolled 7 (1d8)

Oh no, we let the Breaktrancer in!! He's gonna hit the Sanctuary and the Bard with a B-Boy Bonk!!!

Rolled 49 + 10 (1d60 + 10)

The Bard must defend himself once again from the physical insult to humanity known as Interpretive Freestyling.

Rolled 58 (1d100)

A formidable resist!


It's a big hit, though!!! After 2 hits, the Sanctuary is at 20/33 HP!! The Humorless Bard is at 21/31 HP!!

Continue to circle the wagons!!

Rolled 3 (1d4)

The other Breaktrancer in the Southwest moves towards the fray, but gets stuck in the Mountains.

It's a similar but reversed story for the Northern Boom-Boxer, who approaches but cannot get in range to throw a claw yet.

To round off Turn 1, the Western Safety Dancer exits the mountains and enters the Jungle Jam to his Northeast. He's coming for us!! He shoots his Disco Biscuit Launcher at Palewalker!!!

Rolled 23 (1d24)

C'mon, resist the urge to Dance, buddy! You don't want to start Limboing, trust me!! It's like waaayyyy harder to fight when your body is at a 90 degree angle!!!!!

Rolled 40 (1d100)

You try your inhumanly hard to resist breaking into a Limbo, even though this jungle is HOT! HOT! HOT!

...

You try so hard, but you Limbo for 1 turn anyway, it's just too tempting and all the bad guys look like they're having so much fun while Dancing...
(-6 to all rolls for 1 turn!!!)

We've got some severely weakened foes inside the compound, and some fresh ones trying their damnedest to get in. Let's patch up the holes!!

(NOTE: OBSTACLES ADDED. Two more patches of trees added in the east and one more patch in the south central - due to lower player count than anticipated and/or poor map design.)

Don't be afraid to utilize the Health Patches, but mind the enemies coming in to attack! Positioning is very important in this mission if you want to max your stat bonuses!

Even with Riptail's stellar efforts, it's still insanely difficult to hurt someone while you're Dancing the Limbo!! Still, she bashes the Safety Dancer fiercely! She also blocks off the Eastern entry to the Sanctuary singlehandedly.

"Way to go, Cristal!" Wally waves and says to Crystalline Riptail, but all that comes out is a muffled, nearly inaudible whale scream.

Cristal looks over, flicking her poisonous bio-crystal bangs. "Are you trying to, like, talk to me? Like, ick, what-EVER!!"
Rejected again...

There's always the starfish...

Wally of the Whalevoice attempts to secure the Sanctuary by unleashing his most taxing and impressive move...

The Sperm Whale Blast!!

Wally would like to say aloud, "Great Spermo of the Depths, guide my blowhole!!!!"

But all that comes out is a large spritz of toxic paste-like seafoam, accompanied by the tortured hums of the whalefolk, counteracting the frequencies of the music and dealing X damage to the goons assaulting the Sanctuary!!

>Sperm Blast on the hex NW, NE (1, 2) from me
I could save Cristal from the Limbo, but I may be jeopardizing our other defenses... I'll have to leave her be, she looks tough. I'll go patch up the North with The Humorless Bard, the West looks sturdy, and the South seems clear but maybe a little vulnerable...

Wait, meant to make it a -6, but I forgot they don't do minuses. That attack did...no damage. Eh, had to at least try (and using paledriver would've only made it 2 damage, not worth it.)

>>5277120
"Don't worry, we're blocking off the Blitzer from the sanctuary, he has no chance of breaking through us. He's not so tough on his own. He's only got 5HP, left, too, if we're lucky, that's a one-shot. Since the North is locked down now, I should be able to help Cristal out in the West.

My Blast move is going to be on Cooldown for a while, but if enemies cluster up again, I'll set them straight with the help of my god, Spermo!"

No one understands what the FUCK Wally is trying to say, as he only emits nightmarish subsonic groans and cries.

>>5277125

Nevermind, Palewalker already freed Cristal!
As for your own Limboing, Palewalker, at least you're freed from it already.

Our team is officially free from all Dances!! We can focus on attacking now!

<<<<Disco Phase 1 and Mosh Phase 2 will drop in about 8-12 hours.>>>>
A half-whale-half-man's gotta sleep.

"Thanks everyone for sticking to my poopdeck and starboard like a barnacle so far," Wally tries to say, but all that comes out is a plea for help in an alien language unrecognizable and undecipherable to both mankind and whalekind's greatest scientists.

Just woke up, will probably update in a few hours. Larry, if you can see this, you still have some time. If not, don't worry.

The Ballroom Blitzer in the South is no longer paralyzed from being stuck in the wrong frequency!!

He runs straight up to Larry and gets some comeuppance for his fallen Boom-Boxing buddy!

We could always flee from the Sanctuary and live to fight another day... But what will be lost if we run? The North would be a good direction to retreat towards, if we decide to go that route.

Every Mosher must choose for himself, but also work as a team.

>>5277711
Good catch, thank you. I accidentally removed the Tree Obstacles without noticing. I believe you should be in the same hex, but there is a patch of trees or two missing nearby. This should have prevented the Safety Dancer's posted movements and attack. Fixing that. Gonna have to reexamine the southern Dagga Driver too, he may have been affected by the Obstacles.

Next update should be dropping in 1-3 hours, got caught up doing housework

Rolled 5 (1d5)

Two more Safety Dancers appear in the Southwest, packing Disco Biscuit Launchers!!

The Disco Division really won't rest until everyone is Dancing! (They probably won't even stop then!)

The unbearable din of the battlefield gets slightly more unbearable, as a few more radios join the fight.

There are a dozen different rap artists, rock bands and opera ensembles - all vying for supremacy from max-cranked speakers.

Rolling for Sanctuary's Turn 2 Repairs.

Rolled 188, 278, 30, 283, 37, 276, 195 = 1287 (7d300)

>Random Event:
The tranquil apes were prepared for war after all, and they run across the Jungle Jam to scatter up to 7 traps across empty tiles randomly along the map!! The traps will not deploy if the rolled hex already has an enemy, ally or Obstacle on it.
Enemies cannot see the traps and will move normally, but if they cross a hex with a trap at any point in their movement, they will suffer 3 damage and their turn will end on the hex.

Math on the rolls: 300 hexes total.
1-15 = top row, left to right.
16-30 = second row, left to right.
...
286-300 = last row, left to right.
...What, you don't have 300 sided die at home?

(You cannot trigger the traps and can stand on top of them without penalty.)

Say, are there reinforcements coming from the bridges in the East and South?

>From now on, any new Mutant Moshers are created with 15 starting Stat Points! If you need to Make-A-Mutie, don't forget their 3 Mutant Powers.

__

(Safety Dancer's earlier attack on Sanctuary is negated as he is out of range. He takes no other action.)

The thick muscles of the tranquil apes have gone slack, and they fumble every single throw. Two traps land in the thick tree lines and the other five land mostly in the Misty Mountains where it is unlikely the enemies will tread through... Oh well! We got this, we didn't need the help anyway. They begin to muster the rest of their traps for a second pass next turn, but is it too little, too late?

The Sanctuary is safe from the North for this turn, there's no need to patch it up with other more pressing matters like the East and Southwest.

As it stands, Cristal is holding off the East all by herself. She's a fucking tank, but she could use some relief. She's also Popping and Locking.
There is a veritable horde of foes marching in from the West. Stanky Legg leads from the back. In the face of this threat, Larry blends the Jitterbug and Popping and Locking, to the great amusement of the enemies.

Can we continue using the terrain to our advantage?
Can we utilize the Popping and Locking Dance against our enemies, or will we reactively try to stop Dancing, and expose Larry and Cristal to attacks?

REMINDER >>5272534
Popping and Locking might prevent your actions, keep that in mind as you choose your movement and actions. QM will roll a secondary set of Dance V. Resist rolls to see if you overcome this strange Dance.

The terrifying sound of Supreme Commander Tango's Boogie Bugle sounds again, cutting through all other sounds - it's another retreat, we're saved!!

Stanky Legg cranks up his amp and grabs his mic again, commanding his men to keep fighting. No!

This is FUGAZI!

The Ballroom Blitzer assaulting the Sanctuary has been dropped to 5 HP, but every other goon and Master Sergeant Stanky Legg are at full health.

Those Ladder Dives proved near-fatal, but now the Dagga Drivers are limited to Range 1 attacks only. (Except the one in the Northeast)

The Sanctuary is severely low on HP, as are Larry and Palewalker, whose real name on his birth certificate is probably... Palewalker.

Wally is at full HP and currently in no danger at all. A little suspicious if you ask me...

There are always more Mutant Moshers, but there's only one Sanctuary! Can we still save it and learn from it? We've already learned so much...

>MAJOR EVENT:
Learning from the monkeys you are protecting, every Mutant Mosher learns a fourth type of action. In addition to Basic Attacks, Mutant Powers and Special Interactions; everyone gains the universal Rest action. Use it like any other action command.
>Rest, Cooldown 1 turn. Roll your basic attack dice, and you will heal that much HP.

I'd Croon for Lightning Larry, but the enemies seem to be avoiding him while he does that Dance, it could be dangerous to free him while he's at a such a low HP. He's still able to move to that Health Patch even while he's Dancing.

I'll stand in front of the Sanctuary, in the enemies' way (kinda), and after they strike me, if I survive, I'll counterattack them with double power! If only my AoE Mutant Power was off Cooldown, I'd really Blast 'em!

I'm not sure how exactly you keep expecting us to survive when you smash 17 odd enemies at us. Most of these traps aren't even going to do shit since no one is over there and the enemies would have no reason to go there since you auto aggro them to go to the center.

Man, that Blitzer just refuses to go down.

So, there is absolutely no hope of actually killing all of these dancers, and thus no real point in killing the mobs as long as we can block them. However, if I can manage some high rolls and kill off Mr. Legg, we could get an extra Stat point.

Anyways, WALLY, cover that Northern Pass! They are going to be coming in from there!

>>5278476
what the fuck, why do we keep low-rolling on that blitzer, this is actually going to lose us the mission

Also, I went back and checked, and my rolls have been absolute dogshit this skirmish. Every single roll has included a 1, a 2, or both. Actually crazy.
