Okay. First thing's first. We don't HAVE to take 4 NY actions. but if we Don't? Then we've wasted that hero's Personal action as seen below:

Be warned: Any hero sent on this quest must perform a National Action next turn taking place in New York City. If they don't, then whatever action they do take either runs without them or, if it's a personal action, is wasted.

As such, I propose that heroes with less useful Personal actions be considered to be "on the Table" as it were. Specifically, NORM. Let's send our son to fight Gargoyles instead of having him use a personal, and also, maybe give him Amur.

That leaves just 2 new York Actions we need to do:
I recommend Infiltrate a Hostpot NYC (DC 100), and Form a research Agreement with Xanatos (DC 90). Since that should give us good Diplo and Intrigue heroes to add to Norm, with Janna being good on Occult to round things out.

[ ] NORM + Amur
[ ] Mirage
[ ] Wendy Wower
 
Might I point out something fairly obvious?

Janna likely doesn't need more Occult. Puck should be there, and Janna has a fair deal of Occult power herself. Janna also probably doesn't need more intrigue, given that Xanatos should be helping.

What she needs is Martial units, due to her talking about "more" Gargoyles.

[ ] NORM + Amur
[ ] Mirage

Remember, they're probably going to be in the thick of the fight. And while Mirage has good diplo/intrigue, she's also a twig.
 
Tobe: pairs well with janna's 3 best stats and can probably afford to miss a personal

Dennis: great martial support, terrible personals

Kitsune: dip boost, will be necessary if we wont to spin this well

If the situation is this severe, Puck is probably dealing with his own stuff.
 
Ok, lets see what we can do.
[ ] Assault a Rival (Factions in New York only)
-[ ] Xanatos
-[ ] The Morganians
-[ ] The Magus Baazar

Martial Action, involves attacking at least one party for.some reason, exact method TBD. Possible targets are Xanatos, Morganians, and Magus Bazaar. If the three, Xanatos is clearly not a good idea. The Morganians...maybe? We could try stealing the Encantus from them, thereby having an Intrigue hero in NY to help Janna. The Magus Bazaar doesn't seem wise to me.

[ ] Perform Supervillainy

Another martial action, I'm assuming this would entail just sending some minion to steal something in NYC. Hego and the government wouldn't approve, and we'd be performing super villainy on Xanatos' turf, so this is low priority, but it's an option if we need it.


[ ] Reach Out to Magical New York

Diplomacy action, it would be helpful, even if it takes up one of our valuable diplomacy actions. Maybe Tom might help here, since we'll be sensing him to help Janna and Marco? Plus there's the possibility we might here about Star being here recently...

[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Xanatos

Diplomacy, this might be helpful for the future.

[ ] Try to Collaborate with Xanatos on an Issue

Another Diplomacy action, potentially useful long-term, especially if we want to partner up with Xanatos on the digital front. Unfortunately like I said, it's a Diplomacy action, and I'd prefer to not spend both of them on NYC next turn.

[ ] Infiltrate a Hotspot
-[ ] New York City

Intrigue, it'd definitely be helpful for the rumours front. We might have better luck hearing about Star here.

Conduct Corporate Espionage
-[ ] Xanatos Enterprises
-[ ] Gen-U-Tech

Intrigue again, and we might get some useful information and/or tech depending on the target. Anyone remember what Gen-U-Tech does? I can't remember off the top of my head, but I'm sure they're an easier target than Xanatos.
 
Remember, they're probably going to be in the thick of the fight. And while Mirage has good diplo/intrigue, she's also a twig.
Though chances are you can hold back if needs be. And the fight might be more than just a brawl. And there might need to be damage control.

I'd adore having Tom and 300% Khan tagteaming some unlucky fuck, admittedly. Which is probably against the Geneva Convention?


Xanatos' secretary needs a speed dial just so we don't have friendly fire.

Tom is fine. But I think Tobe plays much funnier in the scenes than Tom. I also think it's much funnier if Tom is stuck in hell doing "prince of hell chores" while we all go on a death defying adventure to find Marco!!!

You know! Marco! The guy that he has remained in contact with and was not missing from Tom's PoV?
wahahahaha

oh also I guess some gargoyles were there too. It was a whole thing. Very dramatic.

I really don't think we should make our decisions for this based on what would be funny.

It literally has crisis in red text.
 
I feel like things are gonna get dicey real quick, so if we're sending people directly, I'd pick

[] Tom
[] Kitsune
[] Lizzy

I think that it'd be nice for Marco to know that Janna has friends that she can count on.
 
Norm, Tom, and Hego are pretty cheap sends, since they're not doing a lot next turn regardless. Janna is quest leader though, which makes multiple martial folks redundant.

We probably want one of Norm/Tom/Hego/Khan for martial, since this sounds like a very martial kind of quest.

We probably want one of Kitsune/Tobe for occult and intrigue.
 
Personally, I just want to unleash the Khan regardless of how practical that might be.
 
[ ] Hego

We are going to have to tell Shego about the Wasteland soon. The cape should probably do something heroic before then.
 
As for who to send...Tom seems like a good pick, since we're aiding Janna and Marco. His stats are pretty good. Maybe Goofy on one of the Diplomacy actions? His Martial is ok, and hos effects on Criticals might be useful. Russ definitely seems useful, especially if the Phantom Blot isn't here next turn. Lizzy seems useful, but her Diplomacy... Tobe also seems good for the Intrigue front. Maybe Kitsune? All her stats except Stewardship are good, though she might not like being near Puck.
 
Wouldn't Tom be good to send thematically, I mean Marco and Janna are his friends.
For an act of supervillain action couldn't we do something extremely petty like take all the paintings in a museum arrange them in a smiley face then put up pictures of Us in there place in a way that none of the paintings can be moved back?
 
It would appear that the optimal stat balance, barring any 0 Occult characters is Tom Khan and Kitsune

Tom on a personal (find star, marco first)
Khan either performing Supervillainy or Collaborate with Xanatos (or personal I guess)
Kitsune reaching out to Magus Bazaar, or personal, or infiltrate hotspot.
 
So, are we sure that Tom is willing to do this?

If we are, then I support sending Tom Lucitor, Queen Lizzy, and Kitsune. Tom's martial is higher than Norm's, Kitsune has good diplomacy, and Queen Lizzy has good learning.

Going to NY means helping Janna and Marco, I don't see why he wouldn't.
