I find that one of the best parts about writing these comics is imagining the hijinks that happen off-panel. I can just hear the other ladies of Team Bountyhunter:
Well one of us has to act as the distraction.
I hear he prefers blondes. Meow.
…
Excellent point, Ranger! Fighter is easily the least stealthy of us, so it’s got to be her. Now let’s get to Wall Market and do the squatting mini-game.
Anywho, even though Fighter didn’t exactly volunteer for this particular mission, I think it’s still an interesting example of the sacrifice play. In this kind of scenario, one character gets singled out to go beyond and above the call of duty. Diving on the proverbial grenade can take many forms, from collapsing the portal from the inside to surrendering “so long as my friends go free.” The scenario changes up from session to session, but the in-game purpose remains the same: letting one player feel like a big damn hero.
So let us take a moment and salute all those noble souls who sacrifice for their friends. Whether you’re doing the Iron Man and heaving a nuclear missile through a portal or, like Fighter, allowing a gangster to heave his missile through your portal, hats off to you. Way to take one for the team!
