So ended the game with no plot points for the Gorilla Gang, while Buck had the journal page and two other plot points.
With only three pages from the Journal, we decided to go back to the truck buried in the sands around the Lost Oasis and try to get a fourth. This time it didn't go so well for I was stabbed in the back by my own man(ape). Have won a vehicle to hide behind, I started Da Boss close to the truck, accompanied by Experiments 7 and 13. Buck, Saddler and another of Buck's men started close by, hiding in the underbrush. Lady Elaine and Mr. Yellow set up to back shoot Agent Carsk and some mook of Buck's. Then came the inevitable unexpected betrayal as Mr. Purple turned on Bananas. Damn that gorilla, bought off with some peanuts and bananas (the old Double-Cross bought with the results of good Network of Supporters rolls). Maybe I need to rethink my choices of League Perks for my next team. Despite the betrayal, Da Boss and Experiment 7 moved out onto the sands with 7 bravely (yeah right, he was too dumb to know better) serving as a human(?) shield. Experiment 13 decided to have a lie down after being shot by Agent Saddler and didn't get up. Bananas dealt with Mr. Purple after his betrayal of the Gorilla Gang (at least temporarily). Such is the wages of treason. Agent Saddler tried to bring down Da Boss, but failed. Still, the effort gave Buck a chance to get the missing journal page. Then came the Beast of the Sands. Buck ran like a frightened little girl, while Da Boss grabbed the journal page. Vasquez convinced the native to come with her, while Agent Carsk looted the Mysterious Remains. Where was Bananas while this was going on? Still dealing with that traitor Mr. Purple. Mr. Yellow moved out to deal with Agent Carsk, but was gunned down. Da Boss engaged in a gun battle with Buck and several of his men, but fell wounded. With a final effort Buck stole the page from Da Boss. Experiment 13 failed to make Agent Carsk drop his plot point, Vasquez regained control of the native, and Mr. Purple, in a final traitorous act gunned down Lady Elaine!!!

After far to long we are back to the Perilous Island Campaign. This time it is the Sacrifice!! Rather than randomly rolling we went with Lady Elaine as the sacrifice and the Great Gorgonzola as the threat. The board with Lady Elaine tied to posts in the center. The Basti Sorcerer surrounded by loyal guards. Buck and company hiding in the underbrush. Agent Carsk quickly grabs one plot point (the Tears of Ra alias Perilium) from beneath the statue. While Agent Sadler finds one plot point in the remains. Bananas heads towards the ring of guards. While Experiments 7 and 13 rush to place themselves between Lady Elaine and Buck's people. Mr. Yellow takes up position to provide covering fire. Hey look at the full moon(s). Muhammad, one of the Arab guards that accompanied Buck's expedition, moves forward to take an unsuccessful potshot at Experiment 7 (or was it 13, I can never tell them apart). Abdul, the greatest wrestler in his village and a Camel Driver with Buck's expedition, knocks down Experiment 13. Both the Gorilla Gang and Buck's team had journeyed to the Lost Oasis (Perilous Island) accompanied by local guides, guards and camel wranglers (with camels loaded with supplies). This was good in that you could occasionally bribe/talk one into accompanying you into the heart of the Oasis. It was not so good when it came to raiding the campsite of the other team, because the guides, guards and camel wranglers working for the other team were related to those in your employee. It was hard enough to keep your hirelings in line, what with all the expeditions to the Lost Oasis that failed to return. But attacking and maybe killing their relatives would be the straw that broke the camel's back (sorry about the bad joke). The Experiments proved their worth by serving as a distraction while Bananas tried to free Lady Elaine. Which he does successfully. It was nice of him to bring her some proper clothes and her gun ;) . Buck makes his move towards the Basti Socerer, who is quite upset about the sacrifice escaping. Now who is the Great Gorgonzola going to have for lunch. Poor Gorgonzola. Just in time for the Great Gorgonzola to appear. By careful maneuvering (run away, run away!!!!) Buck was left as the closest character figure. Fortunately, the fleeing in terror left Da Boss next to a plot point, which he promptly solved. Closer and closer the Great Gorgonzola came to Buck. Da Boss, in a last desperate attempt tries to make Agent Sadler drop her plot point, but fails.
For the first time in far too long I finally won a game!! Hurrah!! But I couldn't have done it without help. So thank you Jill (age 5) and Alex (almost 2). Their babysitter couldn't make it so Adam had to watch them and play. Whenever there was a crash in the next room (or worse yet when it was too quiet) he had to run in and see what they were up to. |
Mysterious BillI've been gaming since the 1970's and even wrote some RPG adventures in the 80's for the Judges Guild. It seems that I can only get in miniatures is gaming at cons, but I do regularly play boardgames and RPGs. Archives
