Hostess Heroes last night focused on the Sister Psyche task force.
Last time we’d tried this — with Pummelcite, Fazenda, and Araware — the Freaks handed us our hats, with our heads still in them. This time, we just rolled the damned thing, to the point that we were basically sprinting from encounter to encounter and being a bit shoddy with our alpha strikes. Even with frequent interruptions/AFKs, mission lags, and discos, we went from around 7 to 11, stealthing what we could (even with the “hey, invis gets suppressed when you click a glowie, doesn’t it?” new feature.
Even Clamor, one of those ostensibly unstoppable AVs, went down fast hard (thanks in no small part to Peep’s Rad — but at one point she and the Blasters had her held, fergoshsakes — see the pic to the right).
(I had an even better picture up against one of the Freak bosses, all of whom were decked out with loudspeakers and other fun, noisy bling, but taking it crashed my session, alas.)
Ho Ho and Peep both hit 24 (and, nearly 25), plus two +3 SOs and an evening of fun.
Others on the mission: Bear Claws, Twinkie Kid, Brownie Points, Ginger Snap.
I find it noteworthy that a “goofy” SG is just so kick-ass. Granted, we’re not running around on Invincible, but it’s noteworthy that good players (and well-played toons) make such a difference.
