Stop the press! Turn 9 results:
Play Order - Turn Roll - Name - Color - Assignment & Card #
#1 - 3 - Grog / Dash Dartwell! - Blue - Plan to Destroy Bridge #7
#2 - 4, 2 to keep Supe, loses - DadsAngry/ Sam "Scoop" Stern - Red - Ship Sends S.O.S. #4

#4 - 3 - OgreMage/Dirk Headstrong - Black - Lois Lane Missing. #5
#5 - ? , 4 to call Superman - Mant/Lance Langston - Yellow - City Crippled by Storm #8 - Has Superman
Dash arrives at The Daily Planet and files his story. He gets a new assignment: Report of Sabotage on Plane (#6). Dash runs out to cover the news! Dirk too reaches The Daily Planet, hands in his story, and Editor White sends him on his way to cover a perilous Forest Threatened by Fire (#3).
Sam swiftly moves along, saying goodbye to Superman. The reporter is delayed some by a broken traffic light (back one space.) Rex nears The Daily Planet, chatting with Superman along the way.
Lance sees Superman swoop down with a giant shovel and clear away the freak snowstorm. What a story!
Wait, there’s more! Dash and Dirk can leave The Daily Planet this same turn. So, each spins 1d5 for Turn 9, then spins 1d5 for Turn 10 movement. So that’s two spins total, boys.
Lance, you forgot your Turn 9 movement spin. So do that, eat your Wheaties, and do your Turn 10 spin of 1d5 movement. Got it?
Our fair city at end of Turn 9:
The new assignment cards for Dash and Dirk. The double D’s, as Perry White likes to joke. That dirty old man!
Turn 10
Spin 1d5, and Dash, Dirk and Lance follow above directions.
