You're completely dismissing the chance that it wasn't a Combat bonus, a Quest Bonus, or an Occult Bonus while in Quests, jumping straight to them having a trait on the same level as Felldrake based on just 1 roll.
This is incorrect. They don't have 29, they have 19+10 and we don't know what the +10 is. It might be very broad, but it might be a very specific bonus against dance-based magic. We don't know, we can't know, and it should not be taking into account as a certainty.

You guys can see the word "potentially" in my post, right?
 
That doesn't apply in this situation as they were not attached to a quest leader, other than themselves. They were working on their own. We have not seen a hero unit consisting of two people in a Quest before, so we cannot accurately say what exactly that bonus is.

But we've seen what a roll of someone without a Quest Leader looks like

Magica Occult Roll: Do you recognize this artifact?
DC 100 needed: 56+42+10=108
Bare Success

This is the roll of Magica De Spell to recognize Lord Felldrake.

It's pretty logical to assume from here that the rolls of the Glooms would be similar to hers, 1d100 + The Gloom's Occult Score + The Gloom's Traits.

This is why I mentioned a hero unit consisting of two people before.
 
NO, like, we can't use the "recruit from rolodex" action twice...Well, actually, I guess we could have Mirage use her personal and hope we get lucky, but still. If we could, it would neatly solve this whole dilemma.
We could just take recruit new employees again and maybe get Wasabi if he's still looking, otherwise still getting someone useful, or we could take any of the other recruit actions in addition to trying to recruit Wasabi from the rolodex.

Diplomacy:
[ ] Recruit rogues and villainous capes
DC 65
[ ] Recruit from your rolodex
DC 70
[ ] Recruit heroic capes
DC 70

Stewardship:
[ ] Recruit New Employees
DC 65

Occult:
[ ] Search for Magical Individuals
DC 90
(Hopefully the DC is lowered by gaining various magical contacts from the auction quest)

Mirage personal:
[ ] Recruit new talent
(DC 50)

Oh, gods, y'all've pushed me into the Wasabi Now boat. But I REALLY wanted Juniper... ah well.

Now remember: Heroballs are healthy. Though I want to make our own team, specced for MASS CHAOS. I'm talking Kitsune. Luidivine. And Coyote. In the same room. Who knows who Player 4 would be.

Hilarity ensues when it turns out that Kitsune is Coyote's long lost ancestor...

Okay, but if we're talking Chaos, the Hero Ball has to be Jumba, Dennis, Kitsune, Launchpad. Now, this might require us to poach him off of GLomgold, but that might actually be a boon to our diplomatic relations if we're being honest.
 
I figure all Occult units over a certain strength will have weird quirks, and the Gloom's quirk is probably something along the lines of being more competent under specfic scenarios (the whole "Villain who's bad at being a bad guy but is kinda competent when they're working with the heroes" deal, probably)

can toons have kids with non-toons? There are references in the cartoons to Wile E and Road Runner's ancestors doing the same song and dance they did, but the question is if the two of them sprang from their creator's work like many toons or were born the more normal way a la Max.

Hm... Well, my thing against Jumba is that damn quirk of his that drags Dennis into it. Damn sandwiches.

I was trying to whip up a sort of... calculated chaos. Luidivine provides the plan as Duck in the Chair, Kitsune's the major force on the front lines, Coyote is support/Improv when the plan goes off the rails, and... Well, I'm trawling our current heroes right now to figure out if anyone has that spark.

The answer is Coyote staring at the screen while holding up a sign saying "WE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO SMART QUESTIONS 'ROUND THESE PARTS".

I feel like Kung Fool is well suited to causing chaos in its own right, at least as much as, say, Wile is; the fact that it brings in Jumba is a nice bonus. Now, from a mechanical perspective I don't think I would support this because it would involve taking Jumba off of learning actions and his 38+38+30+5=111 bonus is way up there, but if we did need some targeted chaos, he is a specialist.

Hego as the flying brick and the general face of the team?
 
We should recruit some more heroic individuals and create a hero heroball. Hego, Fred... Not sure who else fits the overly idealistic and heroic stereotype
 
No see, that's the beauty of it...


...Seriously, we normally activate an inator, but we don't have to, if it would likely be disadvantageous to do so.

We don't have to.

Right?

...

We'll see.
pretty sure the effect is for the next inator, so that plan involves never activating an inator untill we use tinker. which makes doing it this turn a good idea

Only if we don't feel a strong compelling reason to use Personal Attention this turn, OR if there's nothing else we think it's that important to use a Personal Action on besides the tinkering.

There is zero evidence to suggest she would be upset about russ investigating the drug cartel.

It is a unwarranted assumption. She cares about people looking into her stuff not their stuff.
Her stuff is commingled with their stuff; they operate in the same area. Feds operating outside her control in the territory where her stuff exists are thus a potential threat to her operations.

Marco isn't just going to hand over the scissors, and we already have the Key which should lead to a pretty big DC drop.
Eh. I say it can wait until we get Marco, which, barring catastrophe, will be next turn, or MAYBE the turn after that. Having an actual functioning pair of dimensional scissors to study should be useful.
The way I figure it, the best use of Marco having dimensional scissors is to have Marco be directly involved in our dimensional explorations made using the Otherdimensioninator.

Because if the inator fails or hiccups somehow, Marco, unique among all our other hero units, can get out and walk home. And bring others with him, in a pinch. It's like having a lifeboat.

Now, one can argue "why even bother with the inator if Marco has the scissors," but the answer is "because we don't want to have to pester Marco every time we want to travel dimensions, and also SCIENCE!"

You know, Marco's been searching for Star, evidently for a while. How do we know he won't have a similar restriction to Tom if Janna winds up.recruiting him?
Because Marco's been taking mercenary work unrelated to either the direct defense of his home against Toffee or actually finding Star.

Tom hasn't.
 
Speaking of inators, what are your dream inators to get in a roll? Imagine how op something like the universal delete button/media eraseinator would be. They are like king candy and the cybugs worst nightmare
