Well another snow day at home with the girls and what to do?
Play Pulp Alley of course!
This was scenario 2, the lost keys.
Word has reached the world of a mysterious key lost amidst the ruins of Hamanaptra.
The British Museum send Evie O'Connel with her husband Rick and her scoundrel of a brother, Jonathan,
to recover the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands.
Back in the US, the war departments sends Team Possible of the Strategic Scientific Reserve to obtain the item first;
Ronald, Kimberly, Yuki
Whilst from the skies descends the infamous Red Baroness with Claus and Shotzie
The scene of the action;
The major plot point is the center Obelisk
Minor;
The green tarp covered crates in camp, [middle right]
middle part of the fallen obelisk, [top]
the seated Pharaoh [middle left]
and the sands in front of the pharaoh head [bottom
The blue glass beads indicate which characters have moved.
Everyone scatters for cover
Shotzie runs to the head and digs furiously, finding a bit of interesting pottery right off [minor PP1]
Rick runs into the abandoned camp, something about the crates looks odd;
Yuki runs for the seated pharaoh but is shot down by the Red Baroness' Red 9!
Kimberly races past her bleeding friend and desperately begins to translate the hieroglyphics.
Shotzie runs towards the Baroness, but collapses as an asp bites his leg.
The Baroness rushes up to comfort her hund and retrieve the pottery shard PP1.
Jonothan tries but fails to translate the hieroglyphics on the fallen obelisk.
A symbol of some sort of bird, a stork maybe eludes him.
Calling for his sister, Evie runs up and does the job in a flash! PP2
Ronald meanwhile is furious of Yuri and begins to shoot and advance on the Baroness!
Rick reaches the crates, pulling another pottery shard PP3 out and sticks it in his belt just as Claus arrives
and the two begin a brawl that will be talked about for an awfully long time.
The Baroness shoots desperately at Ronald who methodically shoots her down, taking the shard PP1 from her.
With a final punch to the jaw, Rick finally drops Claus!
Ronald then heads toward the central obelisk and shoot at Jonathan,
who dives to the sand [hit] only to stand back up again for more.
A technique that he spend most of the battle doing.
While Kimberly translates a particularity hard bit of hieroglyphics [PP4]
Ronald advances on Jonathan and a much less skilled slugfest ensues
as Evie with info gleaned from the fallen obelisk,
walks up, presses a bump and retrieves the key! Major Plot Point!
Whilst Rick and Evie begin a prolong gunfight with Kimberly,
as hard as they try they cant land one on the nimble Agent Possible.
Ronald finally punches Jonathan down and Rick and Ronald square off.
Out of ammo, Evie and Kimberly call a truce and leave with their finds.
Another great game, called at round 6.
We used 432 leagues again as we are still figuring things out, and they were what I had made up.
My eldest made up her own league though and thought it was a lot of fun. The figure for Ronald wasn't painted yet, so my old Doc Bronze called recruited and she liked how he did so much, the figure stuck. My youngest once again won the game with team Evie with 5 victory points [Major + 2 minor]. My eldest held 2 minor points and your humble narrator, who sincerely tried to win, came up with nada. You know how embarrassing it is to have all your characters whacked by your daughters.
Well the red Baroness limped away empty handed.
Maybe she should stick to air piracy...
