The two objects must remain affixed to one another until the end of your next turn. After the end of your next turn, the items are adhered, and separating them requires a DC 29 Strength check. A successful Strength check deals 2d10 damage to each adhered object.[HR][/HR]Alright, the next conflict is going to have the following goal:* Fight and struggle your way through wave after wave of Legion of Ruth Expeditionary Force members and the Brutal Sandstorm that assaults the area.  You will start on the left border squares of the 1st of two maps > secure Bita-Bahlin near the edge of the 1st map > struggle your way to the right border squares of the 2nd map.* Each LoREF Wave will be 614 xp (1 Standard, 3 Minions).  They will arrive on odd rounds in the red squares of the two maps.  * The Brutal Sandstorm will be a constant effect in the two maps.  If, at the end of their turn, a character is not in a safe spot on the map (will be marked) which is protected by Blocking Terrain, they will Slide 3 squares to the left (your objective is to get all the way to the right) and take 7 damage.  The PCs attacking any LoREF member in the Brutal Sandstorm will suffer Concealment (-2 to hit).  The LoREF members do not suffer this due to their training against such conditions.* Take either Hazard and Bita-Bousseh with you or the Tribe of the Iron Gorgon which will be a Large, Elite, Swarm.  If you use the latter, create it as a Monster.  Of note, it will be Large so it will take up 4 squares, which will make more difficult to deal with the Brutal Sandstorm effect.  However, the damage component will be tagged Ranged rather than Blast/Burst so it would only take 1/2 damage and they would be immune to the Forced Movement effect.* If you guys wish, we can frame this at the "Hard DC" here which would (a) exhaust one of the remaining Hard DCs for the SC and (b) allow you guys to wager an Advantage for 2 x Successes.  If you choose to go that route, the LoREF Waves will be increased to 790 xp (1 Standard, 5 Minions) and the Brutal Sandstorm effect will be upped to 10 damage.* Fail to reach your goal (either you get to the 2nd map, right border squares without Bita-Bahlin or you abort and get all the PCs to squares in one of maps' top border squares and flee) and you earn 1 Failure in the SC.</blockquote>
