Re: Current Mission: Maximum Carnage
In reply to Venom (msg # 390):
Stepping up 1d6 in the Doom Pool from Domino's 1 opportunity in Msg #395. Adding 1d6 to the Doom Pool for Spider-Man's 1 opportunity in Msg #400.
Doom Pool: 2d6,9d8,1d10
Yankee Stadium...
The civilians scream and run for cover as the gunfire suddenly rains down on the field. Thinking quickly, Venom moves to cover them with his symbiote, forming shields to block the innocents. Although he's successful in protecting them, several bullets strike him in the process. He's hurt, but it's not the first time he and his symbiote have taken a barrage of bullets. If anything, this is just more fuel on the fire of his crusade against Carnage!
Venom takes d10 Physical Stress from Carnage's extraordinary success.
Nearby, the exhausted Spider-Man has little time to regain his strength before his spider-sense is already warning him of a new danger. With his thoughts too scrambled to properly guide the symbiote, it tries to react on its own, with limited success. The bullets are just raining down too fast and numerous for it to properly defend him, let alone any nearby citizens. This time, it seems the web-head has little hope of a last-minute save. Or does he...?
Beside Peter, the Doppelganger flings its six arms to the side, shoving the numerous civilians out of harm's way. No sooner are they clear of danger than the alien being is hurling itself atop Spidey and knocking him to the grass. As it shields Spidey, the creature lets out a pained shriek as Carnage's bullets pierce its flesh. Blood seeps through the front of its costume, darkening the fabric as it drips onto his counterpart. The creature begins to wheeze and gasp...

Not far away, Domino hunkers down behind a mound of rubble near Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Misty Knight. Bullets continue to ping off the wreckage, narrowly missing the group.
"I see you down there!" gloats Carnage over the 'copter's PA system. "Now come to papa!"
"We've got to knock that chopper out of the sky," says Luke, wearing an annoyed look as a stray bullet leaves a hole in his shirt. "Or at least find a way to scramble its sensors. But how?"
"Uh, Luke..." says Misty, blinking in surprise. "I think she's on it."
Before the startled eyes of Domino's new allies, she produces a rocket launcher seemingly from nowhere and takes aim at the chopper. Before they can even protest, she fires a pair of rockets straight at the hovering aircraft!
Carnage prepares to take evasive action!
3d10 (Large Scale Threat)
Hijacked Helicopter d8
Sensors d8
Vehicle Rookie d6
15:17, Today: Carnage rolled 3,1,6,5,3,2 using 1d10,1d10,1d10,1d8,1d8,1d6. Carnage trying to pilot the Carnage-Copter away from Domino's rockets.
Not a good enough roll to beat Domino's 25 total. Let's spend 1d6 doom and see what this SFX can do...
SFX: Sensor Suite. Spend 1d6 doom to add Sensors (or step up if already in your pool) and reroll all dice on a reaction.
15:17, Today: Carnage rolled 3,2,10,6,1,1 using 1d10,1d10,1d10,1d8,1d10,1d6. Carnage trying to pilot the Carnage-Copter away from Domino's rockets.
Total: 16
Effect: d10
Opportunities: 2 (Available first to Domino)
Still not enough! Domino wins with an extraordinary success. Her d12+ effect die removes one of the Carnage-Copter's 3d10 Affiliation dice. The extraordinary success triggers the chopper's Limit and shuts down Sensors d8:
Limit: Malfunction. Shut down a HIGH-POWERED TWIN-ENGINE CRAFT power to add 1d6 doom or step up the lowest die in the doom pool. Activate an opportunity to recover that power.
Doom Pool: 10d8,1d10 (Stepped up 1d6 from Malfunction Limit)
Too late, Carnage spots the incoming projectiles and tries to jerk the chopper toward the left. One of Domino's rockets just misses the cabin, while the other strikes the large 'C' at the rear. There is a huge explosion as the rear fin is set ablaze, and the chopper begins to plummet, spinning several rotations. But before it hits the ground, the stabilizers kick in again and the aircraft begins to rise once more.
"Guess you were overdue for a lucky shot," hisses Kasady over the intercom. Even the madman sounds a bit rattled!
From having been used in her action, Domino's Rockets 2d12 goes away.
Actions Available: Spider-Man, Venom
