Weekend Review

FRIDAY
In the afternoon, Lynn, who I got up to 26 (and the “SOOOOOOOOOOUL DRAIN!”). Need to do some journaling with her
Bopping about with Psi-clone and Amorpha. Ran a couple of AVs (as Elite Bosses) with very little trouble. Then headed over to the Cascade Archepelago for some of A’s missions.
I am hereby announcing plans to respec all my players to Fly, if we plan to spend any time over in that neck of the extradimensional world. Watching Amorpha try to SJ her way between various contacts and the like was frustrating (for her more than for me).
And the kora fruit mission we eventually got? I mean, even if you could still farm them the way you used to, it would still hardly seem worth it for some top-tier Inspirations. Bah.
Back to the AVs (and clearing out all the Infected Scientists and demoic cohorts by Portal Corp).
SATURDAY
Torchielle and Hildegard on Striga. Who can ask for anything more? We both hit 23. Hildy did encounter some debt problems as she gets used to the different level of defenses, but we’re still leaving piles of smoking bodies behind us.
We teamed up late in the evening with Major Rogers, who was a couple of levels above us. Nice to add another person to the mix, even though it made me very aware that we have a pretty fixed MO (no moreso than, I suppose, PC/A) that needs to be flexible for guest stars. And that will need to be flexible in the future for critters we can’t (or don’t want to) just herd-and-fry. Torchy has some alternate flame powers coming up (her snipe and her boom), but when we start facing some of the exotic bad guys, we’re going to need to be more flexible.
Lots of good fun. Think I’m going to add Stealth to her, just to aid in the setup. (I’d add Invis, too, if I could find a power slot. Thinking of Stealth for Lynn, too.)
SUNDAY
In the afternoon, more Torchy/Hildy stuff. No more deaths, two instances of Maestro, and Torchy dinged 24 (and another fire blasty power, yay).
In the evening, we brought on Psi-clone and Amorpha. Did a couple of mundane mishes, then brought in T’lauro and Pizzaz as SKs and took down three AVs (as actual AVs, since that’s what happpens when you have four on a team): Dreck, Bobcat, and Neuron. A few deaths from the melee types, helped by having two Empaths on the team, plus buffs and holds and good stuff like that.
PC/A are about 2.5 pips from 49. Yay!
