Page 721 – City of Villains, Part 6

On the topic of formations: Did you and your group ever come up with a structured or even named plan of attack? I mean, most systems just promote everyone doing their own thing until they better understand each others’ combat skills, but I’m curious if there are any who made it far enough to employ formal tactics. Or at least call the most common strategy a silly name.

SFX: (WHEEP WHEEP)

DM: The listening device you smuggled into the Power Ponies’ offices crackles with activity.

Zapp: Hark! Alarm! An opportunity for combat!

Fili-Second: Why bother? These villains are so boring…

Radiance: Can we pass this one? I’d rather not cut this luxurious soak short for no reason.

Masked Matter-horn: Team, this is serious.

Mistress Mare-velous: Sparkle Labs. It’s the real deal.

Masked Matter-horn: We need eyes–

Mistress Mare-velous: We need eyes on the place ASAP! Fili-Second, scout it out! Zapp, back her up from the sky!

Masked Matter-horn: Hey! Who died and made you team leader?!

Mistress Mare-velous: I oughta be! But fine, what’s your plan?

Masked Matter-horn: Basically the same thing.

SFX: (ZWIP)

Mane-iac: Oooh! Interpersonal conflict! If only I’d known sooner…!

Pharoah Phetlock: Aww man. They’re in the middle of some dumb “power of teamwork” arc. But I guess… so are we.

Shadowmane: It’s time. Places.

Masked Matter-horn: Fili-Second! See anything?

Fili-Second: Signs of a break-in! Nothing on the perimeter!

Masked Matter-horn: Okay team: Formation Golf-Alpha-74! Halt, evildoer and possible minions! Or else the Power… Wait, what?
